In the death ( f Mr. N. G. Gou
zales, The Stale's brilliant editor,
South Carolina loses a citizen
most devoted to her good name
and best interests, and history
sheuld write him down a martyr
to that devotion, llis name should
livo in memory, and his laudable
efforts throughout his journalistic
caraer to inculcate nobler, higher
ideals of citizenship in our beloved
State will shine the brighter
through hi* tragic euding, and
should he an inspiration to higher
citizenship to generations unborn.
His outspoken denunciations of
mob violence, his fearless condemnation
of lawlessness of all kiud,
his own high respect for the law,
bar* exerted an influence that is
already felt and seen in the most
intelligent of our citizenship and
is gradually reaching the musses
thraugh them. Well, may we
grieve at the loss of such a man.
As has been truthfully said by 1
anotbei: 14Wherever a noble
heart beats, wherevor a 'huuipion
ia tha cause of truth battles, wherever
a lover of humankind with
U 1 i? .1. a r ? " '?
vurtu *rui li^ius Tor U1H iellows,
grief finds u dwelling place,
Out of the ranks of those whose '
warfare in n good cause never|
halts to salute h white flu;; a leader
has fallen. *
South Carolina mourns. The
whole south and the highmitided | 1
man whe make the nation feel the 1
blow." |

Wo had intended to write an 1
article on the most serious condi u
4U?. : ? < u:. r
iiviiB %jl ana lie in iiii.-j utiitv
earned by the prevalent disrs '
g?rd of the sacred noss ef humnn (life,
and the growing contempt 1
in which the law is held by a t
large elaas ef people, when we r
read acme comments in the News 1
aid Conrier on Mr. C. A. Wood's c
address on carrying concealed
yreapons in South Carolina, and
as they express our views so exactly
we take some extracts from ^
then. It says:
"If any evidence were desired
as to the spirit of violence which |
ontials our people it will be1
found in the conduct of the lieut-;
nant governor of the state, the!
second highest executive officer'
f the state. One - moment clad 1
in the robes of bis office and1
fresiding over the senate of South !
Car linn: the next, armed with
. U
two pistols, carried upon his person
ia violation of the law, shoot*
|
tag down an unarmed man in one
f tb? main streets of the capital
eity ef the state, without giving
bin the least chance to tight for
kis life. One hour the president
of the senate of Mouth Carolina in
discharge of his duties; the next a
prisoner in the county jail, awaiting
the result of the injorics in
listed upon his defenceless victim
.
"Can it he said any longer that
we urc singularly fro? from a
tendency to crimes or treachery
and deliberation?' What 'incredible
plea of selfdefer.ee1 will
be offered in this case? Is the
pocket pistol id frays to prevail in
South Carolina ugain>t the law?
It the mob in tl is state so powerful
that it will not 'allow the
eourts even concurrent jurisdiction1
with 11 in the punishment
of offenders against the law?
'Hardly anything is more valua
bin to a community,' said Mr.
Wnod's, than an exalted sense of
personal dignity and self respect;
but it is manifest that public sentiment,
which for this excuse
| condones the shedding of I itman
Mood in dMi*. iuv of the dig
nit\ and authority of the com
uionwealth, is producing a lawlea**
people." '
No man's life is safe in this
stute. It has htcomo so now that
it is not near so serious an offence,
in its consequence, to kill
a man as it is to steal ft dollar
from him. In Iho former case
not only is no punishment meted
out, but the slayer becomes little
less than a hero in his own eyes
and in thoso of a meat many cili
zens. It is a most fearful condition,
and tlio only tejnedy that
wo can see is on the line suggested
by Mr. Wood's address, and
that is thai public sentiment nuut
be trained and moulded so that
murders shall not bo condoned
and murderers shall not bo allowed
to go free and unpunished.

The End Cnme at 1 o'clock Monday

Battle for Life Was

Columbia Record, 19th.
Mr. N. G. Gonzales died today
I at 1 o'clock.
As brave a battlo for lifo as a
strong mind and a superb physi
(pie could make has boon foueht
J and lost. Several times since bo
inir shot the spark of life teemed
'about to be quenched, but the
wonderful vitality anil the strong

i public, considering the favorable
1 symptoms, began to believe that
Mr. Gonzales would finally pull
through. But at no time have
the surgeons shared in this hopo.
They have at times felt encouraged
by the symptoms, but the indications
have never been such as
to warrant them in holding any
confident hope of ultimate recovery.
Last night at 10:30 very unfavorable
symptoms were noted.
Dr. Wvlie, of New York, had
'left the city for Rock Hill the
night previous. Last night he
was on his way to Durham, N. C.,
where ho was to perform h surgical
operation on the child of Mr.
Duke, the tobacco, king. A telephonic
message caught him sft
Charlotte and ho returned at 1 a.
m. In the meantime Dr. J. \Y.-Bubcock
had been called in consultation
with the surgeons. The
condition of the patient gradually
grow more unfavorable until 3.15
this morning, when all hone was
4
given up.
At 7 it. no. this morning all of
Mr. Gonzales' family in Columbia
who were not at the hospital wero
summoned. Around the dyio<*

Mr. Gonzales was unconscious
and all that anybody could do vas
to await the end.
The waiting was not tor loig.
Mr. Gonzales was unconscious end
his foul passed away quietly,
peacefully and painlessly. Since
it was certain that death mast
conic it was a rener to me sir- \
rotting friends na 1 relatives to |
know Hint at last tiio soul had
hson released from all bodily
pain. Their nerves hive been
strung to the highest tension for j
the past fe.r days and their un* i
ceasing vigil at the bedside 1ms
tried their physical strength.
The following is the otlicial aunounctment
ol the cause of death:
"The immediate cam.) of the
dsath of Mr. Gonzales \ras peritonitis.
The infection was caused
!>v the sentio, noisoninir from the !

wound in the liver. During the
morning, as a lust resort, an injection
of foi inaldehydc was given
in the hope of chocking the inroads
of peritonitis. Nothing could
tie done and at one o'clock Mr.
Gonzales died."
He did not at anytime after the
shooting expect te recover, but
said he would make the bent tight
for his life that he could.
It has been decided to hold the
I
, funeral tomorrow afternoon at 4
o'clock. Bishop Capers, who is
in New York, will como down to
, officiate.
