boast of their superiority and who
have a right to boast of it, have to
meet this question firmly, fairly and
humancly. Cruelty and Injustice
never accomplished anything since
the foundation of the world. Chas-
tlse boy unjustly and you have
made no improvement on him; on the
contrary, you have filled his mind
with a sense Of injustice and embit-
tered him and have classified him at
loss. Chastise him in a proper man.
ner and it does improve him, unmerci-
fully abuse and mistrcat any one de-
pendent on lis, or responsible to lis,
DO that unjustly, you don't reform
him, you bruta!'ze him, and make him
:';c'vc on Tr. gcance and contlnca il,
l':s wrongs. DO it lawfully and
rlghtfnlly it has good effect, and
every true man in South Carolina,
gentlemen of the grand jury, should
put his foot down on this damnablc
practice prevailing in some parts of
our country, the mob law, what is call.
ed lynch law 1t is mean, it is CO.
wardly, it is brutal, it is barbarous
and accomplishcs no good purpose
whatever. The best man, the man
who occupies the most cerditablc
position in 'lynching bee is the
vlrtlm-~hc passes off Of the stage and
is done with it. Every other man
connected with that illegal transac-
tlon goes through life with the stain
of blood guiltincss upon his soul.
Talk about protecting our women, !,
God have mercy on our women, if
that style of man is their only pro-
lection.
In this conncctinu, the colorcd
people have high duty to perform.
When white men commit crimes,
white men bring the criminals to JUS
tirc. As rule when colorcd men
commit crimes against white men,
r"lorrd men shield them from pun
lShmrnt and aid and abct them in cov-
rrlng up their offences. The majority
OF colorcd people are law abiding,
but there is lawlcSs element among
them. who give bad name to the en-
tire race, and it is to the interest as
we'll as it is the duty of every law
abiding and sclf-rcspccting colorcd
man to wipe that stigma from the
face of his race by bringing to justice
every one Of his color who violates
the law: and this will do more to
abolish mob violence than anything
else. Let colorcd men feel that they
have duties in society as well as
rights. and the best way to maintain
tn" one is to perform the other.
Any man, negro or otherwise, who
violates The law, let him be brought
here and LET him be tried according
I" the orderly method Of the law, and
If guilty. let him be convicted and
executed according to law and let
that example go out to tbr public and
they will see it is right and il will
have It's effect. Yes. in dealing h
this problem. plant yourselves on ,.e
great principles Of the Bible and YOU
Will find no better rule Of conduct BY
winch I" be governed than the one
which was cnunciatrd two thousand
years az" by Him who spoke, as ncv-
er man spakc, that We would that
men should do unto you. do you even
