Market.

Market.
Anderson, May 20.-About 5000
bales of cotton have been sold in
this market the past ten days, rep
resenting nearly $25O,OO0. The av-
erage price of this cotton was 10
cents, the heavy selling being due to
the rise in price. 1t is estimated that
there are still in this county $4,000
bales of cotton. Only a small por-
ton of the cotton sold here recently
is being warehoused. Owing to the
heavy rains, there has not been much
cotton brought in the past three days.
However, more than 100 bales were
sold here today.

NIGHT RIDERS INCLUDE MEN
WHO OWE THEIR SUCCESS TO
BULWARKS THEY UNDERMINE,


The very class of citizens who
should be most interested in uphold
ling the system by which justice is
administered made up a considerable
part of the night-riding mob at 1ngle-
wood.
This is shown by the publication
of the names of twenty-eight men
who have confessed to participation
in that now famous mob scene.
The list includes store-keepers,
garage owners, manufacturers, con-
tractors, real estate men-all from
the class to whom America has learn
ed to look for steadfast principles;
for loyalty to the cause of law and
order and for good old-fashioned
horse sense.
/ The very bulwarks of orderly gov
ernment which those night-riders
have been foolish enough to assail
and undermine have been the reason
for their success and prosperity.
Every man in that mob owes what
ever position he has achieved in the
world as much to the orderly spirit
that has prevailed in Los Angeles as
to his own industry and effort. Eve
nv successful man in that mob has
been able to get along in the world
because he has been lucky enough to
live in country where the strong
arm of the courts and the protection
of the law gave to each one an even
break and a fair chance
The business men who were night
riders at Ingle-wood behaved with
about as much sense as the man who
sawed off a tree limb on which he
was sitting.
Doubtless most of the "riders"
have enough good sense to be sorry
now for their part in the affair. But,
alas, the harm has been done. They
have set an example that will not
easily be effaced. They have given
their approval to a movement that
may return to curse and destroy any
one of them. Mob law is fire whose
ravages, once kindled, are not easily
controlled.
There are times when the courts
seem slow and justice tardy and un-
skilled; but the so-called "technicali-
ties" of law are, in fact, safeguards
that have had their origin in the bit
terness of experience.
Although we sometimes speak of
legal technicalities with contempt and
impatience as "the red tape of the
court" that red tape is, in fact,
mighty barrier thrust out to hold
back passion, prejudice and hasty de-
Icisions. That "red tape" has not
been manufactured by pettifogging
lawyers as we have sometimes been
asked to believe; that "tape" has
been woven by the agony and tears
of those who suffered monstrous in
Justices in past days before justice
was slowed down to the point of
calm examination of the facts. If
the tape is red, then it is red with
the blood of those who have died un-
Justly to satisfy mob passion.
1t has been the pride of the Anglo
Saxon races that no innocent man or
woman need fear unjust condemna-
tion once he sets foot on English or
American soil.
Every man who rode in the mob
at Inglewood has taken something
from that strong bulwark which has
