Our readers will remember the efforts we made to get the late Superintendent of Education. Mr. W. s. Richbourg, to throw light upon the transaction wherciy so much of the school funds were txpended for worthless or rather useless maps and charts. We stated at the time that we took no stock in the idea that there was any corruption in the transaction, and had hoved that before this the public would Lave had a satijsfactory explaution, whieb was its due, -s was also due to the retiring officer. How-:ver, no explanation has been advaLiced regarding the affair. If the afOi davits of some of the trustees are true somebody has committed the grave offense of forgery to help carry out the grand swindle perpetrated upon the taxpayers of this county. There ate now in posse-sion of the present Superintendent of Educea non two affidavits made by Messrs. T. E Burgess and W. H. Thigpen, trustees of scbool district No. 17. swearing that they did not sign the certificates by which the money was drawn. The plot is thickening and trouble for somebody is bound to come of this business. We are also informed that the State Superintendent of Education is anxious to have this map and chart bus iness ventilated and is willirg to give all the aid in his power for the work.

[36-3t - Ie Kind You Have Always Bought Court. The later days of the court Judge Ald rich turned out a large amount of work from the legal mill. A motion for a new trial in the case of John Thomas alias John Thames was re fused and the defendant was sent up for flve years. Then came the case of Wade Ward and Corneha Bryant, charged with adultery. The parties had no attorney and their case was managed by Defendant Ward, who exhibited a boldness suited to a demon, and his conduct was such that had the audi ence tb right to pronounce sentence, Ward would never be lIlIwed to see the outside of the State penitentiary again, and when he 'serves his sentence out he had better not go back to his old haunts, for he will find it a very unwholesome community to live in. The court was limited in its sen tence to one year on the chaingang or pen itentiarv for Ward and six months in the county 'jail for the Cornelia Bryant, who is likely to become a mother before her time is out. William Martin pleaded guilty on the charge of larceny and was sentenced to ten morths on the chaingang. Bossie Bailev, an old offender, was tried and convicted of receiving stolen goods. He was sentenced to nine mouths on the chaingang; not liking the sentence, he asked the judge if he could not be allowed to pay a fine. The judge asked him if he could pay a fine of a thousand dollars, the answer being in the negative. The case of William Fairey, indicted for murder, developed into a case of uninten tional killing. The circumstances are that Fairey and Roland Buskey, another nearo, were playing, Fairey holding a pistol, and after scuffling in a friendly manner, the pistol went off an d killed Buskey. It was really a case of criminal carelessness which in law is manslaughter. The jury returned a verdiet of manslaughter with a recomn mendation for mercy and the defendant was sentenced to two years on chaingang. A petition is being circulated asking for ardon. Following, came the case of Dianah Har in, charged with murder. This was a ase where the defendant, a black woman, nsavory in characte-r and appearance, was ngaged in a drunken gambling brawl at Rimini and in an attempt to shout a man who was fleeing from her she accidentally shot and killed a little girl who happened o be near with a baby in her arms. Found uilty of manslaughter and setntenced to ive years in the penitentiary at hard labor. Then came the case of Scipio Rhame and Robert Pearson, indicted for the murder of llison Butler at a sell supper near Sum erton. This case consumed a considera >le time and it was ably managed on both ides. The circumstances are that at a frolic on the night of , where lquor as well as other things were sold, Robert Pearson struck Ellerson Butler with awalking stick with such a force that the tick was shattered; this was followed by a low from a piece of' fence rail in the hands f bcipio Rhame; the last blow evidently id the killing. The jury found Scipio Rhamie guilty of murder and Robert Pear on guilty of murder with a recommenda ion to mercy. Before sentence was pro ounced counsel for the defence gave no ice of a motion for a new trial in behalf of Robert Pearson. The case against John Lawson, charged with rape, turned out contrary to expecta ions and the whole proceedings showed learly that a compromise among the par ies had been effected. It is rumored that several head of cattle figured in the coms :romise. After the State had examined its witnesses the judge ordered a verdict of ot guilty. August Barno and Fred Hammett, charg d with conspiracy, were found guilty, and entenced t.) six years each in the peni entiarv at hard labor. Judge Aldrich then called the case of Scipio Rhame and Robert Pearson, and after an able argument on the part of the efence on behalf of Pearson for a new trial the judge refused it and proceeded to entence. Scipio Rhame was senteuced to e hanged Mlay 5th, 1899; Robert Pearson was sentenced to the penitentiary at hard aor for the balance of his life. 'rhe last caise tried was against August ohnson, Plecedia Johnson, Clairsey John on and Wilhaim Johnson, ch'irged with riot. These parties undertook to raise Cain wen Constable Alsbrook paid them a visit n search of booze. They kicked up a big fss and abused the officer; the jury, how ver, concluded that justice would be satis led with a veroict of gulity of assault gainst Piacedia Johnson and not guilty s to the others. Sentence was a fine of hirty dollars or thirty days in j~iil. Court was in session a whole week and vast amount of work was done.

E. church, delivered last Sunday morning the following time lv sermon: "Thou shalt not kill." Ex. 20:13. These words were spoken by God Himself. They are universal in their application, and cannot be altered nor limited in their meaning by any human authority. Man is forbidden, in every case, to take life, unless per mitted by an exception which God has made to the command. Let us view our text in the light thrown upon it by other passages of Scripture, so that we may get at its full import. These words, taken in their ordi nary meaning, might a- first seem to be out of place, as addressed to a Christian congregation. No one here, I hope, has ever shot down his neigh bor. Let us, however, remember that there are crimes- which lie be yond the province of human law. God says: "Thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal: thou shalt not com mit adultery; thou shalt not bear false witness." You may never have taken the life of your neighbor, and vet be a murderer. You may be a thief, and still never touch my pos sessions. You may be an adulterer, though you may never have com mitted the act. Such is the spirit of the divine law. Human law takes cognizance only of the overt acts of a man. Divine law is concerned with the motives, purposes, dispositions, which lie back of, and lead to, our actions. We may be criminals in spirit and at the same time openly violate no command of the decalogue. Christ says that "out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adul teries, fornications, thefts, false wit ness, blasphemies: these are the things which defile a man." Again, He says: 'Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: but I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judg ment." St. John says: "He that hat eth his brother is a murderer." Mur der does not consist in mere blood shedding. Anger, oppression, un kindness, are murder. The spirit which begets them is the same in its nature as that which sheds blood. The crime of murder lies in the mo tive and design of the heart. Let us, therefore, beware, lest we be spirit ual criminals, though we escape the "vulgarities of crime." I desire to confine my remarks to day, however, to the letter of the law, as laid down in the text, "Thou shalt not kill." This command de serves to be especially considered by us today, owing to the frequency of its violation. It has been already observed that this law is character ized by an absolute universality, and that we can make no exception to it, unless by divine authority. It ap plies not only to the taking of man's life, but also to the slaying of ani mals. We are allo-wed by God to take the life of animals in two cases: (1.) When they are necessary. for food. (2.) W~hen they are hostile and dan gerous to us. These are the only -exceptions which God has made to the law in reference to taking the life of ani als. When we slay them from any other motives, we violate the sixth commandment. It would be well for us to remem er this truth as we go around with ur seal-skin jackets and our hats ighly ornamented with the sweet songsters of the air. These things are prompted by, and minister to, ur pride, and are necessary for nei her comfort nor convenience. The life of man may be lawfully aken away in certain cases: (1.) When necessary for our own efence. We have a sufficient war ant for this in Exodus xxii: "If a hief be found breaking up, and be mitten that he die, there shall no lood be shed for him." In this Pu tance the thief was killed in the de ence of a man and his family. We re warranted, by a parity of reason, n extending this permission to all ases which are substantially the ame. Only when my own safety or hat of my family demands it, am I ustified in shedding my brother's lood. Nor are we justifiable even ere, if there are any other percepti le means of warding off the threat ned danger. Only in defence of my wn life can I take your life. Let me ay, however, that I would rather be illed than to kill; rather death a undredfold than to have my broth er's blood crying to me from the round. (2.) The life of man may be lawful y taken when, on account of crime, t has been forfeited to the law of he land. The life of man may be orfeited for other crimes than that f murder; but God's law is very em hatic in reference to the punish ent for the crime of murde-. God said to Noah: "Whoso shed eth man's blood, by man shall his lood be shed." In certain cases we are not simply justifiable in,.taking ife, according to the human law, but e are required to do so by divine law. God says: "He that killeth any an shall surely be put to death." gain, "The murderer shall surely e put to death." This was God's law among the ews, and it is binding upon us in hose cases whose nature is un hangeable and universal. Divine law not only permits, but requires that the murderer be punished with eath. ~when this punishment is ecessary it must be inflicted by him ho is appointed by law for this urpose, and by him only in his offi cial capacity and when acting ac ording to the decisions of law. [hough a man may be guilty, and legally condemned, yet were private ndividuals to lay violent hands upon iim they would be guilty of murder. Every lynching party is composed ntirely of murderers, and it is the sacred duty of those in authority to. see that they are punished to the full extent of the law. Nor will vyuhings cease in our midst until hose guilty of this crime are brought o justice. Murderers they are, and thev' should die the murderer's sleath. "Lvnchers do not seek to vindicate the law hecause they love it, but they violate it because they neither love nor respect it." An eminent uthority has very truly said that the trouble is not in the law, but in spirit of lawlessness-a spirit defy ing the laws of God and of man-a spirit whieh, unchecked, must at last overturn all law and render un safe the life of every citizen. Let no. man be condemned unless upon "ad equate legal testimony, fairly exhib ited in open court, and in exact con formity to the modes of trial by law established;" and let the execution. vhen sentence has been passed, be* carried out by him who alone is ap pointed for this purpose. We have noticed, now, the only circumstances which warrant our taking the life of our fellow-man. These are the only exceptions which the divine Lawgiver has made to this law. His law is as binding upon us today as when it was spoken amid the thunders of Sinai; and the th~un derbolts of the divine wrath will be hurled as heavily against the mur derer of today as against those who violated this lawv in the centuries| He who slays his fellow-man not only puts to death the animal part f an's nature, but he offers an in dignity to the noblest work of God. -Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed, for in th imag of God mae He man." In murder we offer an indignity to the "image of God;" we fail to recog nize the value of life to an immortal being, accountable in another world for the actions done here; and which life ought for this very reason to be particularly guarded, since death in troduces man into changeless and eternal relations, which wert not in tended by God to lie at the mercy of human passions. Consequently God has time and again repeated His law concerning the punishment for mur der, and shown us his abhorrence of the crime of murder. We are told that the land is defiled by blood, and that the most sacred refuge cannot shield the murderer. All nations have held to the justice of this pen alty. Where murderers have been spared,crime has increased-the land has been defiled by blood. It has been truly said that God Himself has shown us the conse quence of sparing murderers. Dur ing the first sixteen and a half cen turies it seems that capital punish ment was not inflicted. A great ex periment was tried in the case of Cain. God guarded his life. He be came a "fugitive and a vagabond in the earth." Remorse prayed upon his heart. God made him a living warning of the torment endured by the murderer, but this did not deter others. Men went from bad to worse, until finally the wickedness of the world became so great that the flood was sent upon the inhabitants of the earth. Just as soon as Noah comes out of the ark he receives the divine command in reference to the pun ishment for murder. Those coun tries departing from this law have seen the bad effects; crime has increased, and human life held less sacred. Let us bring this subject home to us. It concerns your safety and mine. How is it in our State to-day? Are we, as a people, obeying the command, "Thou shalt not kill?" Is the murderer, in accordance with laws human and divine, brought to jnstice? Our life is our all; on it hang eter nal interests. Is it held sacred? Is not our State defiled with blood? Let us look at some of the facts. During the year 1897 there was a de crease in the crimes of burglary, ar son, assault and battery, forgery, highway robbery and some other of fences. There was an inc-ease in murder. The per cent. of convictions in bur glary cases was 70; in larceny, 65; 4a assault and battery, 70; in dispensary cases, 00; in homicide cases about 27. Of the convictions for all crimes, only. six were sentenced to death. There were 225 homicide cases in' this State in 1897, of which there were 31 no bills, 120 not guilty and 74 guilty. There has been a gradual increase of homicide cases disposed of in the State each year since 1888. In 1888 there were 107, and in 1897 there were 225 cases of homicide-an increase of over 100 per cent. in ten years. And yet only six sentenced to. death for all crimes. Think on this foramoment. There were 225 homicides in 1897. This means that during each week of the year more than four of our citizens were placed in bloody graves. Dr. Carlisle has very truly pointed out that in the deeper view of this subject we must make no distinction between malicious murder and kill ing in self-defense. If A killed B in self-defense, then B was trying to kill A, so that in every case of homi cide there is one murderer, at least, in heart. I have not yet been able to obtain the statistical statement of the hom icides in our State in 1898, bu$ feel confident that it is worse even than in 1897. There is an exceedingly bad show ing, so far, for this year. Within the last few days several of our citizens; in various parts of the State, have bee'n murdered in cold blood. Ohe of these, in particular, cries out to us for justice-an inoffensive woman shot down in her own home by :an "officer of the law," and her hiisb~nd seriously wounded. We most heart:~ ily indorse the following from- the Southern Christian Advocate: "We demand the speediest punishment of the crimi'cal. The resistance -to search gave the officer no reason for his violence in word and deed. His violence led to strife and his aim destroyed life. A wo man's blood cries out for justice, and the. courts must render it. Legal delays an d technicalities mnust neither postpone nor prevent punishment. The citizens of- Col umbia behaved with great self-restraint and prudence, and left the outrage to the law. Now, the law must not fail. It has disap pointed us before. but it must not in this instance. The coroner's jury has found a verdict of murder against Crgwfoid an-d his fellow-constables. Let the conrt with out delay carry forward the issue." There have been a larger number of criminals on trial at the present term of .court in Clarendon county than at any one term for a- number of years. We were glad to notice, howev..er, that the juries showed a desire to get at the facts in each case and a determination to render their verdict in strict accord with these facts. Consequently there were more convictions. Looking over the facts, we are forced to the conclusion that human life is very cheap in our State today. This sad state of affairs is due to a variety of causes. The carrying of concealed weapons has much to do with the increase of homicides. In every community in our State. there are many who are never found with out fire-arms on their person. Not only do the lower class carry them, but men high in authority. Even the little boys, in a great many .in stances, have fire-arms about their person. The law against carrying these weapons is a mere dead-letter. It were better to repeal the law than for it not to be enforced. Another cause of the frequency of homicides is that so few suffer the penalty of the law. It is almost im possi ble to hang a white man in.South Carolina for murder. I am not pre pared to say just how far the courts of the country are responsible for this sad condition of affairs. It is certainly true,-however, that there is a "mawkish sentimentality" against taking the life of man for murder. Truly a strange philanthropy which bestows its pity upon the murderer, forgetful of the loved ones of him who is laid in a bloody grave. Today in South Carolina there are scores of murderers walking our streets as free, men-thugs, cut-throats--ready to take your life and mine upon the slightest provocation; they know full well that they wvill es cape the pen alty of the lawv. I quote a passage from Dr. Buck ley in the New York Advocate: "The sentimentalists who have been weakening the administration of law, the judges who have help ed~them, the insanity experts at their service, have sowed this s. .. .. ...Murder trials in many of the States are conducted as first-class farces..... .. .Bos shonld not be made pro..ectitg attrneys, broken down 01h tiians should not be made Judges, cranks should not be made governors, and no at tntion should be paid to petitions for par don.'' Too many crimes are dealt with only as cases 'fr "feminine sympa thy, masculine pettifogging, expert romancing, judicial non-commitalism and jury sentimentality." Homicides wvill increase as long as State and society condone time crime. Another cause is that false ideas of honor and courage prevail. Men seem to forget that the death of an antagonist furnishes no reparation for an injury received. Lastly, there is a spirit of unbelief abroad in the land, Men dare to vi olate God's law, refusing to believe that they will ever suffer for sin. It ever before, that "the soul that sin neth it shall surely die. The mur derer may escape from the clutches of human law, but he can never hide from the "terror" of Him who has given the command, "Thou shalt not kill." God grant that the present year may be characterized by a great decrease in the number of homicides in our State. Amen. A. R.
