The Socialist party seems to be
actually proud ot the fact that its
candidate for president of the
United States, Martin II. Pres
ton, of Nevada, is now iu jail

spectacle may be witnessed righ
here of Gibraltar-like rocks tow
ering their lofty peaks skyward
while their massive bases are
llrmly imbedded in the bosonn
ot some ot the town's most tray

more than one majestic, monu

The Fort Mill Times says tiia
at Lancaster's Senatorial cam
paitiii meeting "Candidate John
1\ Grace forced the unwilling admission
from Candidate R. (J
Khott that the latter neithe
voted tor uor sympathized witl
Wm. J. Bryan in his race for tin
presidency in 1896," and tha
"when interrogated by Mr. Gract
as to whether he favored the
Republican ship subsidy steal
Mr. Rhett evaded the
tion, thereby leaving the infer
once that he does favor the steal.1
Our esteemed contemporary
nas been misinformed. Mr Rhett
did not hesitate to give his reason
'or not voting in 1896, and
he made it perfectly clear that
he js opposed to ship subsidy,
lie said that he had studied the
various bills upon the subject

that every one was a great steal
for the Noith. We make this
correction merely to keep the record
straight.
In commenting upon the pre
valence of homicides in South
Carolina, Judge (fage, in his
charge to the Chester grand jury,
is reported in a Chester special
in Wednesday's News and Courier
as saying in substance:
, Judge Gage criticised public
sentiment as largely responsible
for this state of affairs, lie declared
that the average jury,
drawn from the entire hotly of
citizens, is a fair index of general
feeling and sentiment, and a
jury does just about as any other
twelve men, drawu from the
i
THE
same body of men, would do under
similar circumstances. He
showed how public opiniou, led
. by the late J09 B. Kershaw, of
Camden, had stamped out duelling
iu South Carolina, and he
declared that a similar wave of
. feeling wonld do much to mimi1

} That is practically the posi
tion that has been taken by the
The News. This paper hag held
all along that, instead of censtir
ing juries for alleged miscarrir
anes ot justice, the responsibility
should be placed where it be[
longs, on the people themselves, I
lrom whom juries are directly
, drawn three times a year, that
f i9 to say, shortly before each
term of court. Juries being re
presentative of and a part of the
' people, they cannot be expected
to rise higher than the source
from which they spring, any
more than a stream can be purer
than its fountain-head. So
1 long as the masses regard lightly
? the value of human life and the
uecessity of punishment for the
commission of crime, just so long
will juries continue by their ver
1 diets to reflect the views and sentiments
of their fellow ci'izens.
Reformation, therefore, must be
gin with the people. Let the
homes, the churches and the
1 press unite in a movement to j

J
lawlessness with that of morali
C ty and the day will soon come
when a new and better era will
' dawn in this country.

The band then struck up "My
