A little word in kindness spoken,
A motion or a tear,
Has often healed the heart that's broken.
And made a friend sincere.

A word, a look, has crushed to earth
Pall many a budding flower.
"Which, had a smile but owi ed its
birth,
.Would bless life's darkest boar.
^Tbes deem it not an idle thing
A pleasant word to speak;

In the death of Adjutant General J,
C. Boyd, which occurred in the city of
Oolambia on Snnday following a second
stroke of paralysis, tbe State
loses one of* its bravest and truest
men. His death is generally mourned
throughout this and other states where
ho was well and favorably known.

jtr The State of yesterday commenting
wd the lynching of a negro near Little
- Mountain some weeks ago, nnintenPtionally
no doubt, makes the assertion
that the lynching oocarred in Lexington
county. This is un error, as the
^reoords will show. The crime for
which the negro met bis death at the
tiands of a mob, was oommitted in
| V ' Xexington county, but the lynching
took place in Newberry coonty. This |
statement le made in order to keep the
i veeord straight.
r ?
There seems to be no effect!re rem\
edy tor the carrying of concealed
"weapons. This lav is, perhaps, vio
lated more than any of the laws on
caretatafee books. The O^uii;
at le<ri9l?**?-e "vcviii do a good net if,
?.3 *?ext session, H vrciu pass a1
Tiaw rtnYiag iv a penitentiary crime for
. c?y person, ontside of the officers of
the law, to carry a pistol, whether
concealed or not, except under certain
& conditions. Something must be done j
<5o check the murder that is being j
committed in our State, and the only >
?W&y fcc do it is to make tha law so |
t?tef*igenfc that no man will dare carry j
a pistol on his person. j
