Spartanburg Journal.
Calling attention to a shooting
scApe which occurred in tho heart
of Memphis, The Commercial-Appeal
of that city states that one man was
shot in the leg and a messenger boy
was probably wounded. Tho man
who'was shot said he didn't care to
prosecute and the boy is in the hospital
and in no condition to prosecute.
The shooter gave bond a short
time after the afTalr and serenely
goes about tho city.
This is not the first time that such
things have happened and unless the
officials become more alert and the
people themselves more aroused it
will not be the last. The commercial-Appeal
makes this Memphis incident
tho subject of a very strong
? ... editorial on the question of law enw
forcement. It says:
"It is seldom that we punish those
who shoot with Intent to kill, who
shoot and are not successful in killing,
but succeed only in taking off
an ear, a finger or a leg, or giving a
surgeon practico in an abdominal operation.
Of the number of men who
kill, not one-half are punished.
"The majority are turned loose,
and they acquire additional prestige
in the community. In some parts
killing throws an atmosphere of dignity
around the killer. Basing their I
point of view upon the prowess of
Saul slaying his thousands palling
into Insignificance against the prowess
of David, who slew his tons of
thousands, we are prone even now to
look upon the taker of human life as
an exhibit of qualities commanding
the deepest respect.
"It is coming to pass that we have
an artistocracy of killers and a gentry
of near-killers. The man who has
not killed anybody or has not attempted
to kill anybody is regarded
as not counting for much in the
equation of living and letting live.
"If we were as vigorous on killing
as we are about 'state-wide the practice
would soon be stopped. The
possession of a Uunlted States revenue
license is prima facia evidence
of the guilt of the holder is a seller
of liquor. Why can't we have a law
that when one man shoots another
man, though he may be acquitted of
the Bhooting, that the act is prima
facia evidence that the shooter was
carrying a pistol in violation of the
law? If every man who kills in these
parts was put in the workhouse 11
months and 29 days for carrying a
^ pistol, even if he did his killing In
self?defense we confidently assert
that within 12 months after the enforcement
of a law of this sort that
the business oT killing deliberately
and of killing in self defense would
show an' appreciattable decline.
"Down in Georgia the mob lynched
Frank; the grand jury met and
an investigating court went through
some sort of legal incantations;
everybody shut their eyes and ears
and after a time resolved that nobody
knew anything about how Frank was
lynched or who did it.
r ,~'A few weeks ago we had a horrible
tragedy in this city. A bird of
passage from the Pacific, while sojourning
in Mississippi, met up with
a married man. I^ater she came to
Memphis, and the married man, forgetting
his sacred oath of faithfulness
to his wife, a most eatimible woman
and the mother of his eightyear-old
child, followed her. His
conduct or her conduct, or the conduct
of both, resulted Anally in both
being murdered. The affair Is still a
mystery. For three hours after the
discovery of the murder it did not

C
The woman's wearing apparel was
stolen, and this theft, which might
give a clew to tho murderers, has I
never been cleared up.
"Such murders and shooting af- j
frays come to pass because there is
not a thorough fixing of responsibility
for previous murders and shooting J
affrays."
It is almost impossible sometimes t
to account for the action of officials \
and Jurors, more especially the lat- *
ter, for, as far as this section is con- e
cerned, we believe our officials make j
honest efforts to bring murderers and d
would-be murderers to the bar of *
