KEEP SCOUNDRELS OFF,"
It is said that the Fallaw brothers,
charged with the assassination Of
George w. Mabus, "prefer triap' in
Aiken county. They are now in jail
at Lexington. If innocent of the hor-
rible crime there is no danger Of their
being convicted in any court in this
country; if guilty they should enter
tain no hope of escaping. Even q
corrupt and conscienceless jury, such
as is occasionally drawn in this State,
would be unwilling to publicly brand
itself by failing to convict men who
lay in ambush and slaughtered an enc
my. If assassins, known and proved
assassins, are not to be hanged then
the courts will have to admit their i'm
potence. If one scoundrel on jury
can imperil the civilization of State,
means should be devised to keep
scoundrels off juries and to punish
severely those that conspire to pack
juries.-The State, June 26.

A BRAVE SHERIFF.

Not in the his tory of Batesburg and
the surrounding country has there
ever been such a shock as the das-
tardly murder of young George Mabus.
The boy was only twenty-five years
of age and apparently had no enemies
except those who laid the diabolical
plot to waylay and kill him from am
bush. 1t is great wonder that our
people did not take the law into their
own hands and punish the guilty par
ties with their just reward. This
murder is matter the solicitor should
push to a finish at once and not let
the case be postponed from time to
time until everyone interested is thor
oughly tired out. The guilty parties
should be brought to trial without
delay and be made an example to
those who hold human life so cheap.
Sheriff Corley, of Lexington county,
exhibited bravery that was almost
bordering ON rashness in the way he
made the arrest of the three Fallaws
and the Taylor boy. He went to the
home of the Fallaws with only one
man in buggy, sent the buggy home,
found two OF his prisoners in the
house, put them under arrest and
quietly sat down and waited for the
return of the principals in the affair.
To say that he has good nerve, cool
head and unqualified ability to fill the
Office which he holds, is putting it
very mildly.-Batesburg Advocate.

niece, Mrs. DR.. L. A. Griffith, on SEN
ate street.

ceded him to the grave ten years ago.
She was Miss Alice Crout, of Lees
vile.

federate soldier, passing through the
entire war and being wounded num-
Der of times"

Mr.. A. Taylor has raised some very

While this community can't be beat

many other highly developed things.

No; when our people say these must

South Carolina Day at James.
town.

South Carolina Day at the James,
town Exposition last Friday was a
marked success. Capt. W. E. Con
zales, the able and versatile editor of
the Columbia State, chairman of the
South Carolina commission, deserves
all manner of praise for the very sue
cessful way in which the exercises
were conducted. The day was mark
ed by the address of Gov. Ansel, who
received an ovation. The State mill
tia was well represented and the
Governors staff was present as well
as hundreds of other South Carolina
visitors. There is no South Carolina
building, but the State exhibit is con-
sidered one of the best at the big
exposition.

Teachers for Next Yea-.

The board of trustees of the Pal
metto Collegiate Institute have elect
ed the following teachers for the next
scholastic year:
Prof. W. E. Black, principal; Miss
Ellen Hendrix, first assistant; Mrs.
W. E. Black, second assistant; Miss
Mary Wingard, primary department.
Prof. Black comes to Lexington
with the highest recommendation
from the people of Saluda, where he
has had charge of the school for
several years, and it was with much
regret that the people of Saluda gave
him up. Mr.. Black is graduate of
Newberry college.
He was for several years teacher of
mathematics in Keemar college,
Hagerstown, Md. He filled the same
position in Elizabeth college, Char
lotte, N. c., for a number Of years.
Miss Ellen Hendrix has been un-
usually successful in the schoolroom
and is no stranger to our people. So
has Miss Mary Wingard. She has
been a teacher in the school here for
many years, and her reelection each
year is ample proof that she has given
satisfaction.
We will welcome Prof. and Mrs.
Black to Lexington and it is to be
hoped that the patrons of the school
will give them the necessary support
to carry on the school as it should be.

Assaulted step-daughter;; is
Lynched.

Dalton, Ca, July dock Posey, a
white man and self confessed criminal
assailant of his 9-year-old stepdaugh-
ter, was lynched at an early hour this
morning almost in the heart OF town.
He was found hanging to cross
beam at the Gordon street viaduct at
$50 O'Clock this morning.
Between / and 2 O'Clock this morn
ing, quiet, but determined crowd OF
about 25 men marched in an orderly
manner to the Whitfield county jail
and demanded Posey. Covered by
guns in the hands of every member OF
the crowd, Jailer Britton was COM
PEELED to surrender the keys.
Entering the jail the crowd went to
the cell occupied by Posey, secured
him and placing him in buggy, drove
to the viaduct.
There was absolutely no confusion
in the crowd. Marching in double
file, they collected several policemen
and forced them to accompany them.
Not single shot was fired and Posey
was left hanging for the citizens to
find this morning at $3.50. The body
was cut down.
The crime struck the entire city
with horror. Never before has there
been such an outrage in the county as
that committed by Posey. After GRIM
inally assaulting the young girl he
himself brought her to the city and
accused another man of the crime.
The wife of Posey asserts that just
the week before an attempt was made
to assault her elder daughter by Po-
sey, but nothing was done at that
time.
The young victim was in avery crit
ical condition, but this morning she is
greatly improvede and strong hopes
are held out for her ultimate recovery.

Mills Convicted.

W. H. Mills, who was charged with
having killed Frank M. Deal at Blacks
burg, the End of March, was convicted
of murder with recommendation to
mercy, at Gaffney Saturday.
It will be remembered that Mills
claimed that he killed Deal because
he had won the affections of his wife
and he stuck to this theory at the
trial last week. The "unwritten law"
was appealed to by Mills attorneys,
but without effect. The case will be
appealed.

FARMERS MEETING
AT LEEsVILLE.

Hon. E. D. Smith, President of the
Southern Cotton Association, r. H.
Hyatt and F. H. Western, of Co.
lumbia, will be Present--MondaY,
July 9th.
There will be farmers meeting at
Leesville next Monday, July 9Th.
Hon. E. D. Smith, Mr.. F. H. Hyatt
and Senator Francis H. Western, of
Columbia, will make addresses anent
the coming price of cotton.
This is a question of vital impor-
tance to every farmer in the county,
and one that is attracting world wide
attention, especially in the south,
for on the price of cotton depends
our continued prosperity. These gen.
tlemen are anxious to meet every
man that is interested in anywise on
this important subject. Everybody
has special invitation to come and
hear the plan as will be outlined by
these gentlemen. All of these men
are good, entertaining speakers, as
those who have heard them will
attest.
If the millions of farmers through
out the south would pay more atten-
tion to the sale Of their product it
would mean millions of dollars to the
south and the farmer would get the
most benefits. Let every farmer in
Lexington, Aiken and Saluda coun-
ties, go to Leesville next Monday.
The treat in store for you cannot be
overestimated. Take the day off;
you will never regret it.

NONE SAFE HERE.

The News and Courier of yesterday
says, s'the fate of the assassins in
Lexington county will be watched
with especial interest" Why 80?
Because a Lexington jury turned loose
one assassin is no reason to think all
assassins are safe in that county, and
besides the assassins of Mabus are not
nephews of a United States Senator,
which Of course makes difference
