Difference of Opinion.

Dr. J. L. Stokes, prohibitionist, trying to
otliterate the twelve hours OF prohibition
which we now have, charges up the lynchlne
habit in this State to Senator B.. r. Tilman.
Mr.. Tilman is no doubt partly to blame for
the lynching business, but be by no means
deserves all the credit. We would apportion
blame for this state of affairs in part to the
following causes.
First-President Roosevelt's conduct in Stir.
ring up and exciting race prejustice and race
than there has been for twenty years.
Second-Righteous indignation at assaults
upon women.
Third-The refusal o jurors to convict.
F~ourth-The frequent escape of the few
who are convicted.
Fifth-The generous exercise Of the pardon
ing power by the Governor.
Except In cases OF stealing, the convictions
are next to zone.
Before the law 1t Is more dangerous to kill
a pig than to STAY the owner.
It Is almost impossible to convict a man
with either money or influential friends.
liza man OF this sort should happen to be
convicted a kind hearted Governor may set
aside the judgment of the Court, and pardon
the convict. Has any white convict failed to
to get a pardon long before the term Of his
sentence had expired? II so, he must have
belonged to the crowd of poor white trash.
