JUSTICE TO MIR. LYON.
What his Home Paper of Dispen-
sary Leanings has to say Of
Him.
Abbeville Press and Banner.


Because of rumors, and evidence
Of wrong-doing in the management
Of the dispensary the Legislature
felt called upon to appoint an inves-
tigating committee whose duty it
should be to ascertain facts and re-
port the same.
In the matter of looking up evil
dence, subcommittee were appoint
ed and one of these was composed
Of Messrs. Lyon and Christensen.
They entered upon the delicate and
disagreeable duty with no other OBJ
ject than that of serving the state
faithfully and efficiently, while
dealing fairly and impartially with
the. citizen
One Of the most delicate and diff
ficult questions that the committee
has been called on to decide is, where
is the line of demarcation between a
mans private character, which
should be unassailabie, and his Of
ficial acts for which he should be
held accountable7 The citizen and
the officer may differ as to the line
of demarcation, and upon this diff
ference of opinion troubles have
arisen.
In all that has been said and done
the committee should be given credit,
throughout the State for honesty
and zeal in the discharge of it's duty.
1t was in this spirit hat the COM
mittee invited Senator Tillman to
appear before it. Sitting as a court
OF inquiry as well as court of jud-
gment, 1T was but justice to Senator
| Tillman that he be asked to appear.
| At no previous time had there been n
legally constituted committee before
whom facts about the dispensary
! during his administration could be
made known. 1t was an opportunity
for Senator Tillmun to place upon re-
cord the facts.
Responsibility for the investiga-
ton of Senator Tillman s connection
with the dispensary rests not with
the Subcommittee, but with those
would-be traduccrs of the system and
Of him in connection with it.
Long before the members of the
subcommittee entered public life in
situations, if not direct charges,
were made through the newspapers.
1t is safe to say that the members of
the committee did not believe them.
Mr.. Lyon himself did not, but in the
spirit of fairness to Senator Tillman
the opportunity was offered to
brand slanderous imputations for all
times. 1t is to be hoped that the
malice of his enemies will not ge be-
hind the verdict of the committee
to again bring up those stale charges,
proven false.
Mr.. Lyon has been jealous in dis
chargeing his duty. Such is his
nature. Those who know him we'll
know that his purpose is to be fair.
No man at home bears better repu-
tation for integrity. 1t is manifest
ly unjust to censure Mr.. Lyon for the
faithful performance Of Il duty laid
on him by the people through the
Legislature. He has discharged and
is discharging public duty so faith
fully that he deserves the well done
of all the people. His work is donbly
deserving because of its laborious
and disagreeblc features.

THE ABBEVILLE LYNUH1NG.
John Marion Ashley is Dead but
Other Defendants in Abbeville
are Being Tried.

Abbeville, June 4.~-J. II. Moore,
Josh Moore, Will Moore Sam Bigby
and Hugh Bowen are on trial here for
the murder of Allen Pendleton, a
negro who was lynched near Honea
Path in September, 1905. John Mar
ion Ashley, another defendant, has
already been tried by another and n
higher court. 1t will be recalled that
he was shot and killed in Honea Path
short time ago by Policeman White.
His slayer was tried two weeks ago
III Anderson and acquitted in short
time, the jury not being out over
three-quarters of an hour.
The case on trial has created great
interest here for some time, and was
scheduled to come up early this year,
but was postponed. The Moores are
the father and brothers of young Jim
Moore, white boy who was stabbed
TO death by Pendlcton. 1t was after
this that PendIeton was lynchcd. He
was captured, and about 1890 o'clock
was shot to death, and his body left
lying in swamp. John Marion Ash
ley and the defendants now on trial
were charged with his murder.
The ease was called when court
convened this morning with Judge c..
G. Dantzler presiding and Solicitor
x. A. Cooper as the prosecuting Of
ficer.
There was great deal of testimony
as to statements made by the defend
ants very short while before the
lynching as to the disposition which
the crowd was going to make Of the
negro. N
The defense was an alibi That
the negro was killed that night was.
admitted, but the defendants swore
they did not know who killed him and
that they were not present when he
was killed.
The case has created much interest.
but while the court room has been
comfortably filled today, there has
been no unusually large crowd.
Citizen Joshua w. Ashley was present
Throughout the day. He is a bro ;iler
Of Tic dead John M4: tn Ashley.
Abbeville, June 5.-After remain
ing out 81 minutes the jury this af-
tcrnoon returned verdict Of not
guilty, in the case against j. r.
Moore, Josh Moore, Jno. Moore Will
Moore, Sam Bigby and Hugh Bowen,
charged with numbering the negro
Allen Pendlenton, who was lynched
near Honea Path in September Of
last year. Very little additional tes-
timony was offered this morning
that adduced being by the State in
contradiction Of some Of the testi-
mOny offered by the defense yester~
day afternoon. Et#
1t was not denied by the Moores
that they were excited and very
much wrought up when they learned
the negro had killed young Moore, (
but each Of them swore positively he s
was not present when the killing
occurred and had no part in it. Other
witnesses were used to support tho
alibi line of defense. /. st|SE

Shad was not very well known to

pion they bet literally against him

sports. who were thoroughly aware
what a good man Link was took his end
and the consequence was some steep bet
ting before he reached the scene of the
bout After he arrived and settled down
to training there were a number of wise
ones who tumbled to the fact that Link

the prices fell until now most of the
wagers are at even money.
