The law against murder ought to be repealed As the law now stands the man slayer Is subjected to tbe Indignity of being arrested and must suffer tbe humiliation of being locked up lor a night or two before he can go before a Judge who Is sure to order his release on ball. Not so long ago a man used the ladles bath tub In the house where be was boarding. A gentleman objected. The man slew the gentleman beoause he told him what be thought, and tbe man slayer bad to apply tor ball. This was unnecessary. Tbe slayer should be allowod the prlvlledge of sending the Judge word, that he will appear In Court at the proper time, and show tbe necessity for his act. ?_ . w- ~ T... I "A cooma In toko t hf ^.O VUO fj'-kj V4 part of tbe living as against tbe dead, tbe law might he amended so as to save tbe man slayer ol tbe formality of giving bond. In South Carolina, for instance, men art slain on average of nearly one a day. And white men ure hung on an average of about one In a yeat. Tbe arreiit of, say three hundred man slayers in a year. Involves considerable loss to the State, and imposes costs, or expense, on the Individual. As tbe trial of a white man for crime against the person, is a farce, with almost a single result, why incur the expenst , of arrest and formal vindication. One change that is badly needed is, if a man wants to be exonorated from blame tnrougl< operation of law, be t>hou d be made to pa) tne expense. Why should any citizen have tbe right to charge to tbe county tbe cost of proving that be is innocent. It one man can put tbe oonnty to tbe expense of proving that be is b peaceable and blameless citizen, wby not all If a man cod get me solemn aeciarauou from Court Ibat he is blamelesp, wby pul him to the disagreeable necessity of killing somt body? Before the world today It seems that the Courts of this State have given certificates o> blameless life to only man slayers. The greai majority of onr people cannot get Conrt cer tiflcates of their Innocence of crime. The Evening: Herald. The Augusta Herald has reason to be proud of their paper of the 27th ultimo, In that li was gotten out In the regular run of a very bnsy week, gotten out entirely by the regular Herald force In all departments, and gotten out, too. on time, aud caught every mall, not only for the regular subtcrlberf, but for the extra thousands of sample copies which were mailed also at the same time. It took over five hours of press work to print the 8unday Herald and over a hundred bag? of mall to get It to the postofBce. It took 83 carriers to distribute the Sunday Herald locally to the people of Augusta and surrounding towns where the Herald has 1U own carrier service. This is in a sense a Special Edition of the Herald, but it Ja a nonloltv onr\f1 rtno In (hot It norrlna f irn leased wire services, ail the Slate and local news, tb.e best comics, tbe best special art! oles; in all, 66 pages of tbe best newspapei matter that could be gotten together. Incidentally there Is something like 175 colnmns ol advertising matter In this Issue of tbe Herald, which is a pretty good index that Augusta is a busy place at this season ol tbe year. Tbe editorial and .news columns are always filled with the latest and best. School Superintendent O. B. Martin bas announced himself as a candidate for United States Senator against Senator A. C. Latimer. He writes a vlgerooR letter of annonncement which shows clearly that he Is neither a foo'? nor a molly-coddle. Senator Latimer has a strong bold on the public, and Mr. Martin hes entered upon a big Job. We suggest tbe opinion that all tbe other possible or probable candidates will stand aside, and be lookers on at the gladiatorial contest between Latimer and Martin. "Got no Money Bat a Good Excuse." This rejoinder lo "Mr. Jobnstlng" about size op me money situation inrougnout me length and breadth of this fair and prosperous land. There are reasons and explanations as varied as they are numerous, but with all, the timid dollar keeps well In the darkest corner of the bank vault, and "the mourners go about the streets." Collateral, gilt edge Morroccojbcund annotated and Illustrated Is presented on bended knee bat It doesn't elloit so much as a blink from the sulking hybernatlng dollar. Verily the waters have been troubled at tbe fountain bead and the wavelets are rocking the craft even In these parts. The backs of Abbeville bave plenty of money, and they areas cafe as the rock of Qlbralta, but Just now, tbty are much harder to get iDto than that famous fort. This Is the oondltlon of Boutbern banks generally. Tbey are In good condition, and to fortify against possible trouble tbey bave run Into the storm pit. Scarcely a peep Is ventured above the surface. and all exchanges, courtesies and oom< munlcatlons between those In biding, have been cat off until the mutterings of tbe storm have ceased. Our banks may be excused, If, Indeed, they should not be commended tor tbelr course, for In protecting themselves they protect not onlyltbe depositors, but tbe oommunlty as well. But Is It Dot possible tbat tbelr caution is extremt? Is it not possible tbat tbey are preparing for war when tbe articles of peace are about to be signed? Banks are the reservoirs of trade, and when the pipes leading from this centre a re plugged there is stagnation if not famine Id business circles. Admitting that banks must look tirst to tbelr own interest, is tbere not a moral ob lgatlon, almost as strong, tbat they abould protect values la tbe field of tbelr operations. Just as 6urely as stocks and bonds tumble In a Wail Street panic, just so surely will Xarm products and even real estate depreciate when the medium of trade is contracted. If the bankers of this place think It unwise to meet tbe demands of trade with curreacy, should they not devise some temporary expedleucj? Ia many of the towns of tbe State, banks are lssuiog clearing house certificates which circulate locally as a medium. Would It not be well for tbe bankers of Ibis {.lac to take this under consideration? What Is tbe cause of this money stringency? This Question baB been asked and answnrnd Id a hundred ways and the answers almost Invariably shy off from the truth. So often was the statement made tbat there was plenty of money,ln combatting the alleged free silver heresy, tbat the advocates for more money have been silenced, and nothing but stern necessity has brought the Issue up again. That the necessity for more money did exist at the time that it was the alogan of the democratic party, there is absolutely no doubt. The gold standard at a fixed r-illOD I)?? UCOU iuoiuuiiiiou UUIjr uy a jof. tunate accident. The discovery of gold In Alaeca and 4n new Helds In Africa added to the worlti's supply of gold during the past ten yearB an amount, In excess of the amount mined during any previous ten years, greater than the value of all the silver of the world oalned at a ratio of 16 to U Our authority for tils statement Is U. S. Senator Dolllver. than whom no man In the republican ranks tanda higher. But for this discovery of gold In excess of any previous decade, where would have been the gold standard? All writers on finance agree that there la no xeal money cxcept that which la based on [ value. If promises to pay would relieve stringency In Wall Street would be an im|possibility. Nothing but the yellow ruetul, the actual value, the baslo money will re- * lieve. Hence we see that from every source it is being shippad In, and tbat fifty million ^ is expected at once from Europe. If we correctly understand the meaning of a elastic currency, that is now being so generiy advocated, it does not relieve the situation 4 one lota. Aeco-ding to our understanding, aa elastlo currency would empower banks to increase the issue of notes during a panic to meei me ucmanu. mis in an rigui, muou i.uo people bave confidence In tbe banks. Any V money is good when confidence Is Dot ' shaken, but when confidence vanishes, tben ^ alt forms of credit money vanish with it. You may have tbe due bill of tbe best man q In your community, but If you knew that be had given due bills, far in excess of the T value of hiB estate you wculd prefer the cash. Since the world has been reduced to a gold standard, even with the great excess oi gold discovered, ships are kept busy shipping ii Li back and fjrth, across tbe ocean to pull first one country and tben another out of a bole. It has become highly polished and very much refined by travel. We bave no kick at the gold standard If ' Wall Streei brokers did not gobble up tbe P currency in suppoitlDg inflated watered donas; mereoy wiiunoiumg u iruiu kb missions of moving .the annual crops. We woaid have no ohj -ctlon to the gold standard * If the holders o.' gold could not so easily coruer It, and let the one dollar fellow go begting. ' We will consent to the government continuing the standard though the premium goes to 100 per cent. If the government will on Its oredlt or lq some way place money where the ^ common people cud not only gel It but re- q tain It for legitimate business. Give us more money, ettje the plan acoordiukt t) your own sweet will but don't let g( our products staguate in the market for lack j of currency. n A depositor in a bank in this State is as C( safe as it is poeslbie to be. Stockholders are ^ liable to drposltors to the amount of their ? stock and In addition,for an amount equal to j, the value of their slock and five per cent, j thereon. Besides, the banks of the State are ai in good condition. This is all the grtater ^ reason why the people feel offended tbht the g< currency By6tem has forced the banks to re- 8| strict business. p Nobody fears failure of the banks, and In tj these parts,.the man who would wantonly Join In a run on.a bank might be considered a o public enemy. fi .' tl ? . E C'Hnse of Scarcity of Monry. S All sorts of reasons have been assigned for the existing scare about money, but we think ^ cobody has more forcibly expressed our owBi opinion tban did JUr. K. M. ?1111 one aay Q last**e<k. He thinks, ond we thoroughly agree with him, that the ldlotlo and foolish warfare*bn railroads and other great corpo. j rations may have something to do with the 8( present financial trouble. jji But whether It has or has not anything to u do with present conditions, we hope that the u Washington government may proteot the ^ railroads from the confiscating designs ol D little politicians who lnfiame tbe minds of tbe people against tbe country's greatest bene, y factors. We think, too, that the railroads should respect tbe rights and tbe feelings of tbe pecp'e. . ? There Is no good reason why every man ^ who seeks a favor, or who may claim Justice should be made an enemy of tbe road. ^ Of course editors (San do wonders at a dir. j tance. For this; reason we would suggest ^ that tbe general officers of tbe railroads print ^ Instructions to petitioners, and nail tbem f( up in ' every station, wherein those ^ oltlzens who may desire to make their wish. 8j es known can do so, without giving offense to j( anybody, aDd without tbe risk of coming to u tbe conclusion that .railroad officials lacli j, civility. > ' 1{ Civility 1b Inexpensive, but the lack of b that desirable quality Is costly. w Tbe general officers, as a rule, are tbe most g polite men In tbe country. Tben let them B< formulate plans of procedure whereby tbe o: citizen may Dot needlessly beoome as en- tl emy to tbe Toad because of lack of civility b on tbe part of subordinate officers. t Because of tbe citizens lack of knowledge C tbat be should crawl on bis stomaoh to In- & ferlor officers, be generally goes to bead- n quarters: Tbe matter Is sent down tbe line f< and somebody feels tbat bis official dignity 11 has met offense. He writes a letter tbat p makes an enemy to tbe road. Tbat enemy .0 In many Instances expresses Itself In excess- tl lve verdicts. And tbe assessment for tax I atlon Is but another public demand for pun- b lsbment of tbe railroads. ii ?A case Id point. Some twenty years ago tbe. .ft feeling of tbe people of Ibis town was almoF| V solidly against tbe Southern. When Mr. C.iD> Brown was appointed station agent, be ver> soon began to regain friends to tbe road, and In tbe course oJ time be fitcured for tbe South li ern tbe lions share of tbe. business of tbit rl town. Instead of losing claims against tbe A roid, and Instead of deferring settlement tl until possibly suit was threatened, he made lit prompt and equitable settlements. lu other o respects ibe people were well treated, and a people generally respond to good treatment, c But business between the people and tbe v road, was not confined to Mr. Brown. Other fl officers have rubbed tbe hair the wrong way, d with tbe result that this State Is a favorite ti State for bringing suits against the road And we believe It Is a fact that some of our a people are not opposed to giving tbe citizen tl all tbe damage he sustains. h Not so long agp President Flnley of the 1) Southern made some good speeohes on the- o necessity of good feeling toward the.railroads. B' And all that be said was true. He lacked b only one thing, and that was. the knowledge a that he possessed In hlB own official station -a the power to annul or disarm .the whole op. ^ position. If be, or other general officer would print tbe Instructions Bbowlng bow a man should wilte or address his) petitions, the I trouble woa!d end if the general officer would o require the sub-offloer to be as polite as Is tbe o custom of tbe general officer. s It Is not necessarily the refusal of a favor E tbat makea enemies to the road. It la m->re b generally the manner and the reasons as tl signed. A request may be refused In aucha d manner as to cause no offeuae at all, while ? the grunting of a favor may be done so as to li excite a displeasure. Mr. Finley In one or more of his speeches "i last summer said that the cost of running a train was about the same whether filled with passengers or empty. Reoogulzlng this ? fact, It la not clear to us, why picnic parties 0 Sunday schools, or others seeking an outing G should not be accommodated. Not so long ago, a Sunday school superln- ' tendant at this place deBlred to ta^e his classes on an outing. The road agreed to give some concession In rates on condition J that a number, In exoess of his ability to sell ^ was sold. Tbe number of required tickets be lng possibly more than could be easily accommodated, except by puttlugon an extra coach If tbe condition bad been tbat tbe number of l tickets should not exceed the capacity of the ordinary trains to accommodate tbe road would have gained to the amountof tickets sold and all would have been pleased. But the I excessive exaction put a bad taste in some- _ bodys mouth. I I s Q Don't wotry about the scar- j city of money.

The appended anecdotes concerning th ito Presidont Robinson are given to t' ablic as too oharacterlstio and too gof > be lost. They are from the recolleotion fthe Rev. Dr. A. J.

After vainly ying to recall the missing hoad, I stated ) the congregation that for a special rea 3n I would pass at onoe to tne application, did so, and when I had discussed the rst point, the missing part of my disaurse came back to mo and I went irough it all without further difficulty, in reaching home I set myself down to iqulre the meaning of this incident, when discovered that that which I had planned s the first point of my application should ave been really the second division of the jrraon. The mind in the activity of leaking had been more loyal to Its own rinciples than I had permitted it to be in le toil of preparation.' "The doctor was spoaking to the class n the importance of keeping the mind ee from preoccupying and disturbing loughts when about to speak extempore, [e said: 'I was on my way to preach ont unday morning, absorbed in my dlajurso, when a gentleman met me who \id, "Have you heard that is going ) marry Miss ???" mentioning two perms in whom I was interested, whose larriage would be particularly unsultble. The suggestion took possession of ly mind, and in spite of my best efforts could not get rid of it. All through my srmon my thoughts wore full of the. aunting idea of that unfortunate inisaiance.
