SUMTER CITIZENS PROTEST.

Assert Vigorously That Negro That
Slew Mr.. Gasllard Was Never In
Danger of Mob Violence.
- The State came to us on yesterday
morning with a long article in refer
ence to so-called lynching that was
about to be in our community. It
seems to US in view of the fact of the
strained relations that already exist
In different sections Of the Souh be-
ween the races, it would have been
She part of wisdom for a paper claim
ing to represent the South and her
Interests to have said much less
about this affair, had there been any
truth in it but, as there was no
Hnching party, nc thought upon the
part Of any good citizen to violate
the law, nor at any time was there
any danger Of the negro being lynch
ed, who shot Mr.. Gaillard, we can
not understand why The State would
stab a part of the State that has been
so friendly towards it as paper in the
past. It might be said that the cor
respondent of The Stae was informed
and led to believe that a condition ex-
listed such as was pictured in your
paper, but we wish to say right here
that pains were taken to give infor-
NATION to The States correspondent,
which would place.himiin possession Of
the true facts, and we cannot under
stand how ne could SO have misrepre-
sented our town an6 people unless he
was hitting the pipe" very inten-
perately and had one of those orien-
tai pipe dreams that produce all
kinds Of distorted imaginations. I'D
conclusion, will say, there never was
a time when the officers Of the law
could not have carried this negro
through the streets of Sumter with
out the slightest danger of harm to
said negro. We were indignant and
deeply .deplore the loss of this most
valuable young citizen, but we still
have a proper regard for the law and
faith in our courts and believe justic.,
viii be meted out this murderer. We
are deeply grieved to see a paper in
which We nave had so much conf
dence, resort to such yellow journa-
ism, especially when it must know
that such articles only ten9 to dam
age our State and section.

We are deeply grieved to see the
signatures of a number of prominent
citizens signed to such an article. It
is intemperate and unwarranted. It
contains an unfounded charge of
..yellowness'' against The State, and
an unworthy insinuation that the cor
respondent OF this paper was hitting
The pipe"-whatever Interpretation
the bankers, preachers and school
superintendent who signed it may
place on that choice expression. IF
there had been lynching, none Of
the persons signing the above paper
would have participated, but they as
Sume to speak Of men over which
they have no control. It was at the
instance Of their fellow townsmen,
Richard I. Manning, that the gov
ernor interposed and the negro was
taken around Sumter and not exposed
TO a danger that Mr. Manning and
Others apprehended. The States cor
respondent reported the danger just
as Mr.. Manning repored it. Nothing
more, nothing less.
The States correspondent further
more reported:
Sheriff Epperson and Mayor Boyle
ware at the depot when the train
from Bishopville came in and along
with them were a number who would
have defended the officers. The fact
that the prisoner had taken another
way, however, cooled down the an
ger of the crowd and tonight every
thing is very quiet. Mayor Boyle Is
very emphatic in stating that the law
would have been upheld and the
prisoner would have been protected
had he passed through Sumter. He
said tonight to The Stae's CORES
pondent that ne did not wish the good
name Of he county to be blackened
by mob violence and he was sure that
the best people Of the city stood by
him What do our critics find YET
5ow'' about that?
The fact that uneasiness was felt in
Sumter is quite clearly demonstrated
by the request of council that the cir
Gus in which the murderer was en-
ployed cancel its engagement in that
town.
The State has no occasion to claim
to represent the South and its inter
ests.. It's record speaks for it. 1t does
claim to be a newspaper and being
suca it prints the news that is fit to
print. The State has neither cause
nor desire to stab Sumter, or any
othe. community of South Carolina
far from it. Hut The state, with
every desire so tc do, cannot guarar-
tee that any community in this State
or this country is safe from an eS-
Tibition of mob violence.

committee, the candidates paying a share
indirectly, Bakers 800 graft is cleverly
concentrated in carrying the ticket"
for about two months. The point is easy
to see. The CRATER tried to hold up the
committee for 800 and boldly verified
his graft by exacting big pay for ON
thing he was in duty bound to publish in
support of the ticket, free Of charge,
being reimbursed an hundred fold via
other channels.
If the committee wishes extra copies of
the local organ any time during the cam.
paign provision Is made by and through
them to covered such expense. The
graft resolves itself into a Business
Proposition" with Baker at the business
end, but that makes it a 500 graft just
the same, and the committee knew it or
they wouldn't have turned him down.

Delegates From All Prcincts Met In
Versailles Monday and Nomi.
a Strong Ticket.

If the Republican hosts were
laboring under the impression that
there would be friction crop out at
the Democratic County Convention
in old Morgan all doubts were
dispclIcd Monday afternoon when
the delegates assembled in the court
house here to place the ticket in the
field. There was not an incident
transpired which was calculated to
give the opposition the least inspira-
ton to claims Of friction or discord
within the ranks Of the Democracy of
this county to furnish them cam
paign food.
The convention assembled at
IL a. M, effected temporary
organization by selecting Hon. y. T..
Wray temporary chairman and +. p.
Bond and e.. W. Kavanaugh

The above is copied from last weeks
Versailles Statesman simply because il,
verifrs charges made that the States
man editor invariably hides behind some
body in his effort to slip out easy when
corncrcd, That his Sl0Ograft was a bold
break he now realizes, and he wants the
matter covered up and tries to do so by
the use Of the chairman and scCretary
of the Republican County Committee.
Baker wanted to hold the committee UP
for 800. To do so he had to have some
prctext TO work on. Now we will digest
the above card.
"Thc claim laid in was for all strictly
advertising matter, suci as advertising
meetings of central committee, carry.
ing the ticket, and all advertisements of
speaking dates, big rallies ard so on ~
Now here is where the graft scheme is
slipped through, while the "brainy''
editor Of the Statesman lodges behind
the gentlemen allowing their signature.
to be attached to the unique card.
Inthc first place, the central committee
OF any party always has charge of cam.
paign funds with which to defray the
Legitimate expenses of their campaign.
they order their advertising in accor.
dance with the funds set aside for thei,
uses. Assessments are made aud these
committees manage this feature.
Every item, except carrying the
ticket, - is covered by the funds in the
hands of the committe.

THAT 500 GRAFT.
JUST A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

Versailles, Mo, August 5, 100
The charge that the editor, of the States
mans demanded 800 to support the
Republican ticket is not true, but on the
other hand Mr.. baker. in his letter TO the
committee, said that the editorial support
Of the Statesman of the Republican ticket
was not for sale and could not be bought
by any ma or any party. He said his
paper is always ready. anxious and will
ing to support the ticket, editorially.
The claim that the Statesman laid in was
for all strictly advertising matter, such as
advertising meetings of the central COM
mittee, carrying the ticket which is an
advertisement and all advertisements of
speaking dates, big rallies and so on. IT
also included a charge for sending out an
the extra copies of the Statesman during
the campaign to non subscribers which
run during compaign years from 200 to
400 copies. That is all there is Of it.
