NEWS AND HE ALD. PUBLISHED SEMI- ZE Y, /7 ~-BY WINNSBORO PIUBLISHING CO. FEANKFOOSHE, EmTOn. TERMS. IN ADYANCE: One Year.........................$t.5O -six Months......................5 WINNSBORO, S. C. Tueday. January a - 1901 OuR government is divided in to three branches-the legisla iVe, the executive, and the judi eta]. Tin constitution provides that the'e shall be no connection be tween one department and another. TiE legislative department is a part unto lt ?B--so is the judicial and so i&tne executive. A xmME of the legislati de partment can not also be mem ber of the judicial. No can an executive officer have $ seat in the legislature or on .he bench. AFIEi just now as a vara tion from these earl principles of government as 'en by our fathers. Her she- has com bined h judicial and the execu tive departments. ' The legislature should have the first place in making the cen tennial of the South Carolina College a great time by giving to the -ollege a liberal appropria nii-andhtbat without the usual ~~ bickerings. OscA Booz was hazel upon his eatrance to West Point. Two years later he died. An investi gation is now being held to de termine whether there was any connect:on between the hazing and the death. The college au thorities admit that hazing is still practiced at West Point. They also claim that they can not stop it. The experience of hundreds of other institutions, both larger and smaller, shows that they could if they. wo be con' . anything else. There is no anydne from redistricting on a 'asis of contiguous territory. The present legislature would memorialize itself by the passage of a bill providing for the redis tricting of the State. CONGEss as passed the Bur hbill wihprovides that the shall be composed of 380 hesinstead of 357 as here Under the bill no State loses a rpresentative and the following ,make gains: Illinois, New York and Texas three each; Minnesota, New Jersey and Pennsylvania two each; Arkensas, California, Colorado, Con. ecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Miss issippi, Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin one eae This ends the question of rep resentation for the next ten yeas . South Carolina will retain her ~,- -sevn -congressmen, though she would have been more willing to have had her number reduced than to have lost her'white man's government. We print in this issue "A Ret rospect. from an old Confederate soldier; whose days are being rapidly numbered." Next Tues -day we shall print anot'1er most " * ~ interesting piece of Confederate ' history from another gallant sol dier whose days with us are al-. most numbered. 1 These two articles are highly ' appreciated and are highly vala able. They suggest to us hos- g fatour traie historians are pass ing way.How important there fore, that they make good use of e4 the fleeting time by giving txe il treasures from their richly sto.ed & memories for the present and a future generations. All suc'i fr contributions will be most highly welcomed by us and we trust that our old soldiers whom we love so well to honor will take advantage ID of every opportunity to give us a higher appreciation of the great- . ness of their valor, the usefulness cc of their devotion, and the justness (o of their cause. lea -Mesars. M. W. Doty & COk. are dr The three men charged with the murder of William Ros borough are, whatever may have been their past records, charged with a crime the eiormity of which and the circumstances sur rounding it demand that they be kept in the closest confinemeni until a jury of twelve of their peers shall determine whether ttey are or any one of them is gruIlty. Under the present condi tions we seriously doubt whether any circuit judge would release any one of them on bail, even if a very large and safe bond could be secured. We are at a com plete loss, therefore, to under stand how it is that the sheriff of Fairfield County allows one of these criminals to act as a trusty at tie jail and to have the free dom of the streets by day. The f'ct that the party in question is not thought to be guilty by the officer counts for naught in miti gation of punishment. The sup position of one man against the investigation of twelve men after d:ys of persistent work is a very small item. TiE latest development in the Rosborough case that has already attracted so much attention is the petition that will be present ed to the governor by a commit tee of colored citizens protesting against one of the accused being a trusty at the jail. We are noi surprised at this natural ontcome for from the very time the mur der was committed, the negroes -especially the leaders among them-have shown a determina tion that the guilty parties be brought to justice and have given every assistance possible in fer reting out the crime. Their in dignation is a righteous one and h'ghly commendable. The crimi nal in question has had no righi under the sun to the privileges enjoyed. The circumstances de mand as we have said before thai all three be kept in the closesi confinement. Public- sentimeni on tWe part of the whites as wel as the negroes demands as mued and will be satisfied with nothing less. WE had previously intended mentioning it at a liter time, bul e is so opportune in present circum e the ma o uolc a plac be sufficientl confinement, fC es to see all ti re eves their punishmento greatest bitterness. This pub licity also oftentimes gives crimi nals the opportunity of findin out what steps are bcing taken ii their case and enables theld t< prepare themselves for the fact: to be brought out in their trial Other counties have realized thi: fact and have taken the necessar3 steps to remove their jails to mort private places. In fact, it is a matter of history that Fairfieli once took the initiatory steps to wards this greatly desired end Second, it is a disgrace to a town to have the county jail at the most important junction of its two principal streets. Such an important location should be oc eupied by some other kind of building or go unoccupied. We well remember our complete sur prise on finding such a state of dfftrs when we first arrived in ~own, and this is the impression nade upon all visitors. Still anothe-r reason is that the resent jail is not sufficiently tdapted to the county's unprece lented progress in criminality. Ye are told that at the present ime there are not sufficient quar ers to confine prisoners in sep trate cells far enough apart for hem not to have communication rith one another, if circumstances temand that they be so kept. 'his should not so be. The cause of justice and the 2terests of town and county de iand that the jail be removed. The question is referred to the rand jury. -Oar Lngtown crrep:>ud'ent re >rds the death of Mr8. Martha Seigler, ie mother of onr fellow-townsman, r. J. W.
