Am1Cte1 by u Law anu Oruer Aedx ue.
Aiken is afflicted with the presence Of q
Law and Order League. AS might have
been expected, within the last ten days In
three different sc ctions Of that county hu-
man life has been taken. And min cases
OF murder have been docketed for the Court
which convenes on the 18th instant. 1t
seems TO us that the lawlessness in Aiken
is enough 10 warrant the grand jury in is.
suing the warrants for arrest Of all members
of the Law and Order League In Aiken
County. The people Of Aiken If pressed
further may rise up in their might and
lynch the member OF the Law and Order
League. 1t will be remembered that
York willie and other counties when the Ku
Kiux Khan 1ourished had great trouble in
the arrest Of her "best" citizens who were
charged with serious crimes. The long SUI.
feripg and patient people OF Aiken may yet
turn N the Law and Order League.
The whole State Of South Carolina at one
time suffered much from Radical rule. DIFF
ferent counties suffered from the presence
OF the Ku Klux Khan. Later on the State
was over run by the dispensary and now
some counties are afflicted with Law and
Order Leagues. The disregard OF human
life In Aiken 10 appalling, and the tolerance
OF that association known as the Law and
Order League is beyond comprehension.
1t seems that the sick Yankees might lay
violent hands on the Law and Order crowd.
The presence Of this League should be urged
in mitigation of the offense of murder. Con-.
ditions were bad enough before the orgipZa.
ton Of this League.

zinc-we authorize our agent to
sci 1t under this guarantee
"If you have any fault to find
with this paint, either now in
putting it on, or hereafter in the
wea-, tell your dealer about it.
"We authorize him to do what
is right at our expense.
The following story tells how
little the risk is:
]. II. Asher & Co., hardware
dealers, Rhinebeck, N. Y. have
sold Devoe from '76 to now
have sold thousands of gallons
and have had just one complaint

Three sides of a house were

as the three were good.
Explanation-It rained the
night before the fourth side was
painted and the painters didn't
wait for the wood to dry.
What is done in such case
Whatever the dealer, who cold
the paint, considers it fair to do.
We leave it to him. He may not
do exactly what we should do j
