APR'L 6. 1905 Columbia has a base ball player named Ham. We presume his specialty is fouls. These be strenuous days for purveyors of news by the week. Whal with a pending libel suit against the Barnwell "Sentinel" brought by no less a pe-sonage than the trrand mnonil nf the State's pet institution, the Hon Hub" Evans, and the editor of! the Georgetown ''Outlook"! oeing threatened with extinction by a wild-eyed fanatic, the span of the newspaper man's existence is destined to be brief and i full of trouble. Our bre thren of the press have our sincere sym-: pa thy in their troubles?especially those of the more violent sort. At best, editing and publishing a newspaper all by one's self is no joke, and to be bothered by threats and attempted intimidiation does not add to the joy and hilarity of the editor's lot For months past there has been a crusade against the crime of murder in South Carolina. Pulpit and press have condemned blood-guiltiness in no uncertain tones. Law and TOUC1 ICO^UCO navv uvi. u iui iucu i over the State with a view to quickening the conscience of even-handed justice, and par ticularly to arouse a sentiment against this particular crime, so that men who serve as jurors in such cases would be ashamed ? to shirk their duty. Naturally such influencebrought to bear upon the situation has borne good fruit. Normally such a thing as a white man being found guilty of murder is a rare occurrence in South Carolina, and for one to be sentenced to hang is almost unknown in the annals of our criminal courts. Ked-handed murder has stalked abroad, insolently flaunting itself in the face of cowering justice until men became ashamed of the wretched condition into which s ociety had fallen and as a result "there are now in South Carolina six men under sentence of death, having been convicted of murder. We should like to add that frVio ?T?ni+iAii nf th#?se six mur derers will in all probability have so wholesome an effect in rehabilitating respect for the law and the sanctity of human life as to strike terror to the hearts of potential murderers and give them Jpause ere they give way to |their homicidal .frenzy. But not so. No sooner is a murderer condemned to death, than a| morbid sentimentality takes the form and semblance of the divine attribute of mercy and begs for the life of the miscreant who has forfeited it to the law. Petitions are circulated and before the day of execution arrives the governor is besieged with importunate pleas from 'these misguided zealots, who in their mistaken pity would defeat the ends of justice and^brn loose upon society i dangerous criminal, ripe for my enterprise of crime Jthat h!s murderous fancy might suggest. ^Indeed we have it, jl^fcout of thif six Bee of death in the State Governor Heyward is beset with petitions for the reprieve of every single one. Now it remains to be seen what manner of man we have for chief executive. If he has the "back bone" to refuse to in: terfere at the behest of these inter-meddlers, Governor Heyward will have done more to ! stay the carnival of crime that i has swept over our State than any of his predecessors since the war. What is needed in j South Carolina is a few le^al i executions and except for gubernatorial interference we are in fair way to have them.

IMPROVEMENT IN MOTIVE POWER AND EQUIPMENT ALL ALONG THE LINE. Florence, March 31.? Special: The Atlantic Coast Line, in order to make better time with all of their trains, has recently purchased from the Baldwin Locomotive works, 66 new monster locomotives. These new engines will be distributed over both the first and second divisions of their system. For the division north of Rocky Mount and south of Richmond, 20-inch cylinder engines for passenger service, will be used. South of Rocky Mount and north of Savannah 19inch cylinder engines will be used in the passenger service on through trains. The monster type of engines known as the "trailers" will be taken off the Florence-Savannah run, and the new "copper heads" substituted. Engines Nos 385-890 inclusive will be assigned to the Floreucc-Savannah run. These en gines will pull 10 .Pullman sleepers and make sixty miles an hour. Engines 391-395 inclusive will run between Florence and Rocky Mount, N C, and are the same as the Florence-Savannah passeygei engines. The new engines for the Rocky Mount-Richmond run will be the 290-295 inclusive. These engines will pull 12 sleepers and make sixty miles an hour speed* > The ''trailers," which are now on the Florence-Savar.naa run, will be placed on . the Flo r e n ce-Charleston- WilmingtonAugusta run and will be for what is known iu railroad circles as the "shoo tly" traius exclusively. Some of them will be sent to the Norfolk and Carolina division as well. The 17-inch cylinder engines that are now used en the "shoo fly" trains will be discarded and sent to the branch roads of tht^ first and second divisions of the system. The growing passenger traffic and the continued increase of coaches to all of the trains on the Coast Line system is the cause of this large addition and change in the motive power of that system. In addition to the 66 engines the Coast Line lias also purchased a large number of handsome and modern passenger coaches for both their local as well as their through trains aud they are expecting the delivery of the coaches at their Wilmington shops daily. Unless they airi.ve very soon couches from other roads will have to be rented, as there are no idle ones on the system. Last night the out-going trains from this place were so crowded that the passengers had to stand up and tiiaro tcaa nnt. ?. c^Rch to be had to relieve the situation.?News & Courier. A THOUGHTFUL MAN.
