AFKIL 18, ISC!. THE CRIME OF MURDER. I Whether or not it be true, as i.-; clutmed by the optimistic, thai drunkenness is being reduced in Eolith Carolina, it is a lamentable j fact that crime, and particularly j the crime of murder, is on the in- | crease to alarming extent.!, sKvery year swells the number of homicides in the State, and the punishment of a murderer is as 1 rare as the crime is lrequent. The ' blood of hundreds of victims cry out in vain lor justice and their murderers walk the earth unino-! ^ i jested. How long shall this thing! be suffered? A man ??k?k out iu j . . I; :no morning quietly attending toj j i.is busings and before nigi.i for | eo'lie fancied affront falls betore! the deadly plav of the ever ready j, pistol. Each year the legislature, realizing that the sanguinary blot 011 >he fair name ol the State grows t -larger, attempts to enact more stringent laws against the carrying! ( of deadly weapons. But the re-j suit is not encouraging. There! are already laws enough against |( cr.me. 1 he trouble t* that tliev ; are tiot erloreed. The French! huve a proverb to the effect that J ihe absent are always wrong. iSo| it is with the victim of a murder-' ers rage. '-Dead men tell no j tales,'' and morbid sentimentality j and a too sympathetic jury do the; jest. Between a skillful lawvci, j an impressionable jury and exec-j titive clemency the odds are about. three to one thai the slayer ol hi.- j fellow ir.an escapes the penalty ot; his crime. In an address before the Inde-j pendent Club, of Buffalo, last! week, Senator Tiiiman reviewed! the history of the dispensary in f Mouth Carolina. IIis speech was; lull ol hid old-time vim and ener-J uw ami lie made a verv good' . 4 showing indeed lor his pet insli-j tutinli. He allowed that 111 tlie J whole State of South Carolina! there were oalv 2S0 dispensaries.] while in the city of IJniTalo. wilhj its 330.000 population, there were] *2'"),00i3 saloons, or one to evervj I'.)5 people. This contrast is sink iitii, bcl the effect would liavej been considerably weakened had j the Senator, who is good on sta-j tlitics, remembered to include in j a rough estimate the nnh.ber id j ' "speak easies" in Charleston and j Columbia and a ^fe^* smaller j tt'.vns ottko Slate. j x; -v. _ .?/; w:'.:' .'1 """"" ' 7 The siiootinj: ol' J. -I.
