MINISTER DENOUNCERS LYNCH.
ERS.

The lynching at Honoa Path last
week OF the negro Willis Jackson was
the subject Of a terrific arraignment
Of lynching and lynchers Sunday by
the Rev. John F. Vines, d. D., pastor
OF the First Baptist Church, in his
morning sermon.
DR.. Vines remarks we're anything
but general or vague. He made local
and specific application Of his text
and did not hesitate to call names.
Honea Path Is In Anderson county,
and ii Is only sixteen miles from the
pulpit where DR.. Vines spoke to the
scene Of the lynching.
Dr. Vines severely condemned the
attitude toward the lynching taken
by local newspaper. The editor Of the
Intelligencier, Mr.. Victor B. Cheshire
a member Of Gov. Blease's staff-is-
sued Wednesday an extra edition of
his paper, containing an account OF
the lynching. The data for this ar
ticle had avowedly been gathered by
Mr.. Cheshire on the spot, and the
story contained frank IL not boastful
intimations that Mr.. Cheshire himself
had participated In the chase of the
officers fleeing with the prisoner from
the mob.
Dr. Vines said. among other things
that the people who mainly compose
lynching mobs talk much OF defend.

RESPECT FOR LAW.

Ii Is truly discouraging. as well
as disgusting. to read what some
people say about the lynch law.
When a man. such as our Pisgah
correspondent. a devout church
member. former memter Of the
legislature. and one having the rep
uation Of a law abiding and law re-
specting citizen. advocates mob vio-
ience. when there Is no excuse for IL.
those who believe that respect Tor
law Is the bulwark Of our civilization
can but feel discouraged over the
outlook for the future. Mob violence
and disrespect for law In one case
leads to disrespect for all law.
Those who laud Josh Ashley and
his mob are surely doing their part
TO break down our only defense
against anarchy and a reign Of law
lessness. There was no excuse for
Josh Ashley's lawless pursuit Of the
Sheriffs Of Anderson and Greenville
counties. no excuse for forcibly TAX
ing possession Of the negro and de-
hvering him to the mob to be killed
while he. Josh Ashley. the hero.
slipped away to his home. so as not
20 be present when the actual killing
was done. We would have more re-
spect for Josh Ashley. as a bold.
bad msn. had ne shown the courage.
In the pursuit Of his lawless under
taking. to have seen II to the finish
and had helped in the actual kililng
Of the negro whom he delivered to
the rnob---tae parties unknown 20
the coroner's jury" 4-.~
There was no excuse Tor tho
Honea Path lynching. no excuse for
josh Ashley's spectacular chase Of
the oheriffs: for the negro had been
captured. identified and turned over
TO the Sheriff Of Anderson before
Josh Ashley appeared on the scene.
The machinery Of the law had al
ready been set In motion for a
special term OF court to give the
negro speedy trial; and, - the
seentincation was positive and no
question Of his guilt. he would have
been speedily tried. convicted and
executed by due process Of law.
There would have been no blood
thirsty lawleSmess. no disgustingiy
savage scramble for fingers and
toes. hacked from rhe mangled body
Of the negro brute. nor a holiday
made Of a mob's assault on law. or
der and deceney. Pape Is a damnabie
crime against an individual and
merits certain and speedy death;
but mob law is just as damnable
crime against society as Is rape
against the individual. and those who
participate I'm mob murder or aid abet
and encourage the participants are just
az surely destroying the foundation
stones Of our State and ravishing
civilization Of the only thing that
raises our day and generation above
savagery-rsspect for law-as does
the rapist destroy and ravlsh the
best and brightest OF a woman's life.
The lyncher ond mob law advocate
are the enemies OF society. and as
greatly To he feared by law-abiding
citizens as II the lusttul brute by a
pure and innocent virgin. This is
our honest conviction and we feel
impelled to declare the faith that
n I'm us.

caught MI. F1Shburne around the
neck, instead Of on the shoulders.
One witness stated that Mr., McDuffv
pulled Mr.. Pierson of Mr.. Fishburne
and that Nr. Fishburne got. on TOD
and beat Mr.. Piarson in the face. Lut
the other witnesses d. d not corrobor-
ate this statement, for all Of the
others stated that Nr. Fishburne
| seemed to be getting the worse Of the
hght, and Mr.. Pierson himself stated
that If Mr.. Fishburne was ever on
| top he did not know it.
In his testimony in his own behalf.
| Mr.. Pierson stated practically the
same thing. He stated that when Mr..
Fishburne beckoned to him that he
| had gone over to him thinking that
he was going to adjust the matter
satisfactorily, but that Mr.. Fishburne
instead of doing this. had told him
that he had better not make any
trouble around there. He replied thar
[ he was not going to make and trou-
bic, but that he was going to have
his cotton ginned in turn according
to the first numbers which were given
his son. He had then turned off to
go back to Mr.. Hudson with whom he
had been talking, when Mr.. Fish
bulne had stated that his son had
lied to get the tickets and that he
would not change them. Upon this
he had turned back. throwing down
the whip as he did so, and had told
Mr.. FisiiSurne that he was a liar. il
he said that his son was q liar. Fish
| burne had hit him in the side and he
had grabbed him. They had fallen to
the ground. side by side, and he had
got on top. He said that he would
not then have further hurt Mr.. Fish
burne. and so told Mr. iFshburne. if
he had not hit him in the chest.
When Mr.. iFshburne hit him he re-
turned the blow, striking him on the
face twice. All the while Mr.. FISH =
! burne was cursing him. and cursed
him afterwards, until he left the
, place.
| Mr. Fishburne was put back on the
stand to contradict the testimony as
to Mr.. Persons bringing in witnesses
to testify that his son had come 20
the gin prior to the arrival of the ne
groes. He said that if the men were
brought in he !-new nothing about
1t, for Mr.. Pierson had not told him
that he had witnesses to prove that
his son got there first. Mr. Pierson
had said that He'd be damned il he
would bring any more cotton there.
and that there would be trouble il his
cotton was not ginner according to
the numbers on the original tickets.
