J As Seen From DillVreut Virwpoiuts. m Our respected frlsnd "Kicker" registers a A great big kick in the matter of certalu pro- \ posed cement sidewalks to be laid by the City f Council. While much that he sajs may be A plausible,} et In fact we think bo Is in trrer. . The louucil having done so much for the y Improvement of the town, and without it.- A crensing the taxes, that we are lLcllned to \ think that they are right even iu laying the f cement sidewalk to which otjectlon Is made. A These are some of the reasons why we \ would be likely to support the Couucil iu f whatever they are apt to do. A First?We believe the members of the \ Council, as Individuals, cannot be otherwise f than interested In the growth aud prosj erliv A ofihPcitv. It we ure not In error, each aud \ every one of tbern has Invested bis estate in f realty In the Incorporate limits. Self-Interest If nothing else, would prompt thtm to work fur the welfare of tne town. Second?As to tne sidewalks In question. The owners of tbe property on both sides 01 street, have given land to widen the street which is bound to be of more or less value to the city. As we understand, Mr. Long has moved back bis fence the present width oi the sidewalk on bis side of tbe street. In order to straighten and further widen that street. Mr. J. Alleb Smith has coLtented to move back bis febce ranging from thirteen down to two feel, and to give to tbe town the land which is uncovered by the removal of bis lence. Third?If tbe City Council had attempted to buy the land to widen and Improve the street, the cost of tbe labd would have amounted to a considerable sum. It Is fair to estimate tbe land so given at from 820 to S.SO a front foot, counting tbe lront on Main Street. Fourth?The amount thus saved would go a long way toward paying tbe cit> 'a ball of tbe cost ol the cement sidewalk. Fifth?The owners of tbe land fronting on tbe sidewalk lu question agree to advance tbe fall cost of the cement sidewalk, with the understanding that tbe city, when In funds, and can do so conveniently, will repay onebalf tbe actupl cost of tbe cement pavement. As a matter of Tact, we think the city never bad a more energetic or a more enthusiastic council In the work of building up the ~ town. At present their energy Is directed chiefly to the building of the city hall, which will be Q) a pride to tbem and an honor to the city for p) years after this generation shsll have passed w away. The building, when finished and furnlshed, It is estimated will cost over $50,000 T * 1" Aatimato/) H\ot Ko (ho hot/lnnlno _ , It ID JUI IUC1 couuiauu, wu?v k,j of a new year, tbe debt will be reduced to Q( 815,OCO. All this without increating the rate a of taxation to tbe amount of one cent. SI By economical management and good tc Judgment tbe Council will turn over to th j city a magnificent building that Is equalled In C( splendor only by the new court house. tt We believe the names of every member ot Vl the Council should be engraved In a mural 0| tablet of lasting metal, and p! iced as a memo* 8| rial to the progressive spirit of the builders, \ which memorial 6hould also be aB a testl- tc monlal of a people's gratitude. 11 ct c< All Expressing Opinion. w Quite a number of brethren of the State 10 Frees are expressing opinions as to Judgt 81 Pritchard's recent order appointing receiver for the dispensary tconey now on deposit lt< P1 various banks of the State, and tbe trend ol R opinions would oondemn Judge Prltchard foi what tbey term interference with tbe State'c cl rights. The editor of the Press and Banner person ally cares very little about tbe matter on< way or another, but our feeling 1b to sustain J; Judge Prltcbard. Webellevelt is a maxim 0 of law that he who expccts equity must bimBelf come Into court with clean hands. Due^ the State of South Carolina go Into court with c:ean baudk? The Stale, or its agents. It la alleged, gave an excessive price lor 11- tll quor, wbltb it sold to tbe people at a still W more excessive price, Including profits, and now tbe great State of Sonth Carolina, aflei getting the higher price and tbe greater pro- T fits in selling us liquor pleads the baby act, * by coming Into court wilh Its fioger In 1U r< mouth, pleading to be excused from pajlng '? the blgh price lor the llqucr which It sold to jj( us atapiefit. If contracting to pay an ex- |(! horbltant price lor liquor, and il selling tht tl Bame at tbe usual advance In pri fits over Ibi "jf excess of a fair price, and If now wben tht k State has, the moiej In hand for tbe llqiioi ci which It sold and' for which now refuses to ^ pay,ls evidence of clean bands, tben tbe Stult hi has clean bands. To refuse to pay for the liquor wblcb brought tbe money lbto tbe treasury U pi Bcarcely less honest or less honorable that- 8t was tbe act of the Legislature wblcb repudi- 8 ated the bonds which the Democrats Issuer w before the war to build tbe magnificent State house, which 6tands as a testimonial of tb? w manner in wblcb tbe great State deals with at Its creditors. (ll Speaking for our own self, we are In favor of such centralizing ol government, as will ar require a State to be honest, or to psylU le debts, even as tbe State requires tbe Individ- Id ual to pay his debts. The same law shoulc n< apply to a State that Is applied to an Individual, and we think both should be made t< bt pay their debts. This being true, our sympa- c thy Is with Judge Prltcbard in appointing receivers for tbe money that belongs to tb< to creditors of the State, and wblcb was pui oi there by ti e sale of tbe goodB for which th> as State now tries to evade payment. We hope se tnereiore mat me state may ne maue to pa> id for Its share Id any rascality In which It wata party. cl < < vl IMm-umxIiiu tbe Kail roads. ai NVblle walling for a turn In the barber's cbalr a few dayB ago, we were Interested In a **' conversation wblcb two drummers bad. Tb? Legislatures In general and Hoke Smith 01 Georgia, especially, were roasted lor tbeli warfare on tbe railroads. As a result of ud- le friendly legislation the drummers agreed the Ju roads were compelled to reduce tbe numbei lb of trains. They wanted the trains. They re made nothing while waiting to get awaj 88 from a town. They cared nothing for tbe c! little difference In the cost of a passenger Ju ticket. Tbe saving to them was a trifle compared to the lost time since tbe taking off ol trains. The travel ol tbe country was chit fly by business meu in ibe different lines, and U1 to them time was a great object. And tbe reduction of the number of trains bad thrown many gocd men out of employment, and tbe B< oppression of tbe railroads bad forced tbe sa reduction In the wages of thousands of rail- cb road men. be As a rule, farmers were more Interested In wi growing something with which to load freight ttains, than in the price of a tickei which they seldom bought. They thoughi UDirlenaiy legislation was to ruin the rail- U1 roads which had built up ana de* eloped tht w' best Interests of tbe country.

Inasmuch as Mrs. Nannie M. Grler v closely connected with Erskine Colli through her husband, the late Dr. W. Giier, beloved president of the lnBtltutl lor more than twenty-flve years; and gsmuch also as she was a woman of a p eminently lovable and worthy charaot therefore we, the faculty and students Ersalne College, desire loexpress publli our appreciation of her worth and c sense of Iobs in tier death. We feel that the College has lost a w* and earnest friend?a friend whose klnc interest In the students of the Colli showed lUelf both In her home and whatever other place she met them, a that continued to show Itself after t dentli ol her husbaud as well as before. We wish further to express our adml tlou for her tine Christian character, the death of her husband the sympat of the whole town and of all wbolo\ Erskine College whs profoundly stlrrt and the Christian resignation with whl she bore her great sorrow served botb lutenihlfy and to 6aDCtlfy tbal sympatl Sorrow seemed to develop more folly her the graces of the Spirit: so that, time passed by, she grew more and mi gently, and ber lite more and more pers stve by its example, sach a life Is a be diction to all those who oome under Its fluence, and therefore we feel that b( the town and the College have sufferei great loss in the death of Mrs. Grler. As still further expression of our reap and sympathy we have suspended colli exercises from nooD till after the fun Wednesday, and we seud a ropy of ( resolutions to the tamlly ot the deceas We also request The Presbyterian a The Ersklnlan to publish them. Respectfully, March 4,1908. Commlttei The Funeral of Mrs. W. M. Grier The funeral of this good woman to flice on 'ast Wednesday evenlDg a o'clock. People came In great cumb to pay their last tribute to the worth a Should Be Houewt and Fair. Any malicious effort to destroy the g irne of the gentlemen who have accei aces as reoelvers of the dispensary mo 111 hardly avail In the end. As a rule jlleve the character of the reoelvers to ;ery bit as goai, as high, and as honors ? Is the character of a defamer. The at ' these gentlemen, it occurs to us, came fi fear that the Supreme Court of the Un Lates may not approve of the State's ef i shirk payment for the goods which broa le SSOO.UOO into the hands of the State's i >rs, agents, or employees. We believe lat degree of oentrallzition that would entany State from refusing to p?y its de r that would enable a State to shirk reap billty for participation In any rascal s we uuderstand, the State's agentp agi > pay, or did pay. an excessse price quor. The State put that liquor on sale >rrespondingly Inoreased cost, and after living the excessl ve charges from the pec ho bought the liquor, the state now we ? keep the proflfs on Its excessive char id wants to etcipe payment for the bqoz It is a profitable business If the State romlse a big price for the liquor, and t ill It to its citizens at a still higher price, i ten by the majesty of the State, under aim of State's rights, refuse to pay for quor. Alrao.st anybody could make money If ad a monopoly, could raise the price, i ten seek a technicality to evede pa>in >r the goods whose sale made him rich. Miiihi S?al of ConUtmnatlon. Some days ago the Columbia State said: "wny wub iserry u. Mootey kdoi 10 ae a ? train Id Lancaster county by Gm r'elsb? There was do personal conflict; ldden beat and passion. Mobley was g?i > consult his attorneys who were to def lm for the slaying of a brother of Weis he living Welsh, conversant with the get 1 criminal history of South Carolina, i le local history of Lancaster county, bad >a*oa to believe that Mobley would be p bed. And be had reason to believe thai e assumed the role of avenger he would e punished by the lew. So the failure of iw incited Welsh to slay his brother's sla; ie failure of the law encouraged him to i without fear of man-Inflicted punlsbmi be oDly escape from feud and anarcby irouab the enforcement of the law.

We do not copy this with a purpose to c uy stoneB at South Carolina, lor nnder ime condition of facts of what of our sts >uld not the sbrne things be sale? 13 jeaply life Is held can best be told by a c< urison of our homicide statistics with atistlcB of legal executions.?Charlotte ' srver.

It Is idle to talk about juries convict ij body as long as the Judges od tbe bei an so much to mercy, and as long as lb cases of conviction, give tbe necessi trials to secure aa acquittal. Tbe Judges in giving easy, cheap, or I ill to murderers set a very slight sea >ndemnatlon on murder. Id the general chapter of accidents It Is I > assume that one-half cf tbe man Blay lgbt to be banged, and It may bo set do i safe to hang any man who has no bet lf-defense than tbe claim that bis vlci irew his band behind his back. Again: No man should have tbe right aim self-delense after be has provoked ictlm to threaten to strike him. If one-half of the manslayera were bung id four-flftbs of the other half were senl ia nonllanf Iq r tt Ufa n* aii 1H ha oofa n In Cai irollna. With prominent citizens going to the pt ntlary It seems that at least some of < dgesare not only encouraging jurors to ieir duty but that they themselves are i ady on mere technicality to give the nec ,ry Dew trials for red handed men to co ear. If judges refuse to nullify the aots rors they will be more ready to dlscha ieir duty. On the average it is fair to assu iat half the men who slay others should inged, and three-fourths of the remain! jmber should go to the penitentiary.
