EDITOR BROWNE HERE.

Mr.. G. P. Browne, editor of the
Anderson Daily Mail, one of the most
readable papers published in South
Carolina, as well as one of the best
news carriers, spent Friday here at
tending the races at the County Fair.
He was looking we'll and wore an air
of prosperity.
He inquired particularly about his
old comrade, Col. W. Y. Miller, who
is visiting his sister, Mrs. J. S. Stark,
as noticed in our last issue. He stated
to US that he knows some men who
worked hard when they were young
in order that they might rest when
old, and that he had known others
who rested when Young and were
forced to work wnen the years came
on, but that if "your uncle Bill" had
ever worked, either when young or
old, he hadn't discovered it. The
matter being brought to the Colo
nePs attention he resented any insin-
uation that he had ever worked, or
ever expected to. He belongs he tells
US to the Society of the Sons of Rest,
which once sentenced a man to buy
a quart of good liquor for doing
nothing more than carrying home a
pound of butter when his wife was in
a hurry for it.
This calls to our mind another
story. General Hemphill, in his life
time, was a great man to have his
fortune "told." On one occasion at
a meeting of the Press Association,
a fortune teller was called into SER
vice. The General was one of the
first victims, and he was told some
thing like this: "This gentleman
doesn't care how little work there is
to be done before breakfast, so there
is none after breakfast"

MANNING ISSUES STATEMENT
REGARD ABBEVILLE LYNCHING
Columb;:. Nov. 6.-Among tt

Columb;:. Nov. 6.-Among the
callers at the governors Office this
afternoon was Solicitor R. A. Cooper
of Laurens. After conference with
Solicitor Cooper, Governor Manning
gave out the following, in reference
to the Abbeville lynching:
"I was out of the state when the
Abbeville lynching occurred. AS soon
as learned of it, I called Solicitor
R. A. Cooper and Sheriff, R. M. Burts
of Abbeville, to the Office, and called
on Coroner F. w. R. Nance, Of Able
vile county, to comply with. the laws
and furnish me with a copy of the
testimony taken at the. coroner's in.
quest. I found that the coroner held
an inquest, but took no testimony
Solicitor Cooper, and Sheriff Burts
came to my office and I requested
them to secure the names Of all par.
ties connected with the affair, those
who took part in the whipping, ir
the taking Of the negro from the Jail
in the lynching, and all those who
were at the meeting reported to have
been held on the following Monday,
I have requested Solicitor Cooper and
Sheriff Burts to make a complete in.
vestigation of the whole matter and
get the names of all parties concern.
ed and to swear out warrants, and
arrest them. I intend to do every.
thing in my power to uphold the Law
and let the offenders know that such
acts will not be tolerated, and that
those guilty of violating the law must
suffer for it. I have requested So.
licitor Cooper, as the states repre-.
sentate, and Sheriff Burts as the high.
est peace officer in the county, to
leave no stone unturned in order to
vindicate the law, and all the pow.
ers of the governors Office are at
their disposal, in bringing the guilty
ones to justice"

CONCERNING LYNCHlNG.

Into every community there comes
undesirable citizens. It is a refec-
ton on the law that often it is impo-
tent to deal with every unworthy
character. But we believe that ex.
perience is sufficient to teach that we
do not gain by attempting to over
ride the law and to enforce our own
judgments. !
And this is true because there is
no controlling force to curb people
when they take the law into their
own hands. The people are not able
themselves to judge correctly when
they are swayed by passion and pent-
up fury. An effort to punish one
supposed crime often leads to the
commission of other and more seri-
Gus offenses, and it is impossible to
measure the wrong which comes from
the demorilization of a community
where the law is openly set aside.
No better illustration of the truths
which are given above can be found
than that of the recent tragedy in
our midst. A crowd intent on pun
ishing an insolent negro for unwar-
ranted abuse of a good citizen re-
sorts to the law of force in the at
tempt to do what to it seems JUS
tice, and what to it seems necessary
to protect the white people of a
community. But the plan did not
work. The task assigned assumed
larger proportions when citizen is
struck down by the intended victim
and a lynching results. And on top
of this comes the demorilization
which always follows an act of this
kind.
The man who sits down and con-
siders will conclude we think, that
while the law may not be always sat
isfying, its DEGREES alone command
respect, and that the man who under
takes to override the law, and to
pronounce judgment and put the
judgment into execution, without the
formality of a trial, rarely, if ever,
gains the approval Of his own better
judgment, and he never gains the
concurrence of public opinion and
the public conscience.
For that reason we counsel men
who would take the law into their
own hands to weigh the results care
fully. An investigation we believe
will convince fair mind that illegal
force never accomplishes the end
sought.

ENFORCE THE LAW.

Neither friendship for those en-
gagged in the late disorders, nor the
fact that some of them may be other
wise good citizens, can excuse any
other good citizen for falling to
raise a voice in favor of the enforce
ment of the law, nor in failing to
condemn the laws violations.
We believe the law is sufficient for
taking care of past offenses. We are
not so much interested in these as
we are in preventing further infrac-
tions of the law. The law officers of
AbbevilIe county must assert them
selves. The law must control. There
is no place in Abbeville county, nor
in the city of Abbeville, for compro-
mise, pussy-footing, or hesitating.
The people should understand that
the law is supreme and the Sheriff
of Abbeville county must make it
supreme, as must the city council,
and the mayor and police force of
this city, or they may expect + to be
convicted before the bar of public
opinion, and the public conscience, of
being unworthy to hold Office.

COTTON PATCH.

Cotton is still a good price and so
is seed, but the market broke: some
what on last Friday on the third
heat of the Tri-county race.
We chronicled in these columns
something like year ago, the man.
euvers of Uncle Jim in an effort to
cop the rag at the county fair. Well
Uncle Jim never goes to sleep either
in horse trade or a horse race.
Cotton Patch was put up for repairs
Immediately after last years race,
and during the intervening months,
great preparations have been made
for some easy money. Uncle Jim
has his eye on a new automobile,
and he wanted to get a good payment
ahead with out going to the trouble
of selling a few mules in order to
get it. Mule trades at a profit of
five dollars each don't buy many au-
tomobiles of the kind Uncle Jim likes
to drive. i
So, as stated Uncle Jim has been
getting ready. Some of our readers
may remember that during the early
fall large fat negro man was here
driving two birds which looked like
geese, and pretending to be adver-
tising some patent medicine. But
not so. He was in Uncle Jim's en-
ploy. The birds were Shanghai buz-
yards, the kind that circus people
use to make buzzard grease, with
which they anoint their joints in
order to become "active." Well, the
man drove the geese around town all
day long laughing at George Mann's
jokes, and singing a little song about
some remedy, but at night he and
Uncle Jim were putting the grease
to Cotton Patch, trying to fertilize
his agilities for the on-coming races.
And they worked the job pretty
well. In the first two heats Friday
it looked like Cotton was going to
twenty-five cents per pound, and seed
to a dollar bushel. Uncle Jim didn't
come out on the grounds until after
the second heat, but we saw him
pretty soon afterwards. He was with
his pastor, and was feeling fine. But
in the third heat old Wall Street
jumped into the market and Cotton

Patch broke sharply on two different
calls, and from then on the market
was choppy, and business was not
brisk. Fortunes which had existed in
imagination as have before became
as mere recollections. The day was
over and an early frost had nipped
the late crop, which for time looked
promising.
But everything was not lost
Enough was saved to make the sup.
per of which we spoke in our last
issue a certainty, which promises
something.

by a band Of loyal followers, AL
Singh attempts to regulate American
affairs through threats and to prevent

THE CARNIVAL.

The City Council of Abbeville
should not deplore crime in Abbeville
when it licenses it. It should not
punish a few unfortunates for lit
tie gambling, and at the same time
license a crowd of outsiders, making
their living in this way, to come to
Abbeville, bringing with them lewd-
ness and lasciviousness, and set up
gambling devices in the very heart
of the city.
Verify, the love of money is the
root of all evil, whether with indi-
viduals, fair associations, or city
councils.
