THE 8TAIN OF HUMAN BuOOO.
Lil? is Sweet, But. H ls Anything But Swei
to a Red-Handed Murderer.
The thing of taking the life of
human being, exoept in self-dofens?
during excitement or on the field o
battle, is a terrible thing and unless
man be hardened into brutality am
is utterly devoid of conscience it wil
haunt him to his dying day.
Three timoB during my career
have deliberately made up my min?
to kill, but determined to make m;
antagonists first tho assailants and t<
give them a fair showing, and thu
put "my own life in jeopardy. Bu
when the necessity for any such en
counter had passed the feeling of re
lief was indescribable.
Thousands upon thousands of use
ful and brilliant lives have beer
blighted and rendered miserablo bj
the taking of human life ; even whet
the killing was justified, both in th<
sight of man and by the laws of th<
land, the curse of Cain follows th?
slayer bis entire days.
My fainer, I think, was with tin
Hon. William L. Yancey, the grea
Secession leader, of Greenville. The}
were boys together, were warn
friends, and I have often heard mj
father spoak of thc circumstance
Yancey killed Earle as tho latter wai
advancing upon him with an upraiser
walking cane, and when the fata
shot was fired. Just before the lat?
war between tho States my fathe;
and Mr. Yancey met in Montgomery
Ala. Mr. Yancey, in diaeussing th?
tragedy, stated that he had no in
tention of shooting Dr. Earle, bu
the encounter took place in thc pi
azza of tho post office, an old woodei
building opposite the Mansion Iloust
in Greenville, and which piazza hac
no railing, being several feet from th?
ground. Dr. Earle attacked Mr
Yancey because he had slapped th?
face of his little son, Elias, there be
ing no very kind feeling between th?
two men. Dr. Earle raised his can?
and advanced upon Mr. Yancey, whe
drew his pistol, presented it and re
treated backward. \ Mr. Ynncej
stated that he had no intention o
shooting the doctor, but wanted U
intimidate bim. In stepping back
ward he felt that he had reached th?
extreme end of the piazza and, in or
der to prevent falling off, had iliad,
vertantly pressed tho trigger. But
the great Southern statesman tole
my father he would freely give fame
fortune and all he possessed ?un
again start life a poor, ignorant ano
obscure man, could he, by doing so
only wipe that blood from his hands
that often, in the midst of his most
brilliant orations, would he* see thc
figure of Dr. Earle with that up
raised cane as when the tragedy was
enacted, rise before him. Ithauntec
him day and night, and while he wa?
justified in the killing and the sen
tence imposed by the law was light
his lifo was unending remorse ?un"
self-reproach. Years after the kill
ing, when Mr. Yancey returned tc
visit his mother-iu-lnw, Mrs. Earle
in Greenville, and Elias had grown to
manhood, the young man, who had
innocently caused the death of Jin
father, appeared before tho gate with
shot-gun in hand and asked to sec
Col. Yancey. Yancey, from behind
tho closed door, told Elias to ec
away and he would return to Ala
bama and not visit Greenville again ;
that he had mora of the Earle blood
then upon his hands than he could
ever wash away and did not want
any moro. This visit would proba
bly have resulted fatally had not thc
old lady, who, like all of the Earles,
was as brave as a lion, seized shot
gun and toni Elias that he must g?j
away and not further molest her
guest, and that if he attempted any
violence toward Yancey ho must first
fire through her. Tho next day Mr,
Yancey left for Alabama, and did not
ever return again, I think, to South
Carolina until as a delegate to thc
Charleston convention.
If tho killing of a human heinp
can be made justifiable it was thal
of Bynum by Berry. Bynum was n
noted duelist, and had been employed
to provoke Berry into a fight and
take his life. The two men repre
sented extreme factions in South
Carolina politics, and which were af
bitter as in the days of Tillinanisui
and Conservatism. Bynum was a-i
expert with the pistol,and had killed,
so I am tobi, more than ono man
While on the other hand, Berry har!
but little, if any, practice with thal
weapon, hoing a man of peace, bul
undoubted COO rage. But Berry'i
steady nerve and cool head provee
superior to tho skill of bis antago
Dist, who was killed at tho first fire
and his grave is still pointed ont a
the historic Rook church, near Clem
son college. But even tho koo wie lg?
that this duel had been forced 01
him, and that his enemy was givei
an equal, if not butter showing fo
his life, could never wipe the re?
stain from the tender conscience o
Governor Perry. One of his son
told mc that he never heard the sub
jeot mentioned but once in hi
father's presence, when his fae
grew deathly pale, he raised bi
hand and stated that he never agai
wanted to hear that dael spoken c
by aoy metniir of bis faintly. That
tho horror of that tragedy, commit
ted OD a little islnnd io the Savan
nah river, haunted thia gr?at and
good man all bia daya ia not doubted,
and it cast a dark oloud over H bril
i bant life.
1 have known a great many men
who bad taken haman life under al)
m un nur of citxjuroatanoea, and with
out a single exception they wore the
brand of Cain upon their brows.
There waa no pleasure or happi
ness in store for them. Their exiat
enoe wes one long reign of remorse
and self-reproaoh, and if they did
not manifest the same by word of
mouth, it could be seen in the rost
iese eye, and nervous starting at
every unusual noise. Many turned
for consolation to drink, and which
only added fuel to the eternal fires
that ever burned within them.
Others prospered, but during those
intervals when the mind was permit
ted to wander baok to the past, a
look of haggard misery overspread
their faoes. The brand of Gain was
fixed upon the brows of those shed
ders of human blood by Divine ven
geance, and only death oan erase it.
I remember, while living in Ogle
thorpe county, Georgia, talking with
a young friend of mine who bad
gone with a party to ohastise a negro
for a reported insult to a white wo
man. This young man was stationed
at a window through which the ne
gro endeavored to escape. He fired
on the man and shot bim dead, bis
body hanging over the sill. This
young man, who was a successful
merchant, stated to mo that he after
ward discovered that he had killed
an innocent and slandered man, and
the party who had made up that
story was enraged against the negro
becauso bc had intended to leave his
farm and be wanted to have him
chastised. Hut my young friend
stated to me that his whole life was
blighted, and his entiro existence one
of misery and remorse; that tho
sight of the poor negro haunted him
all day long and was a constant night
mare. Freely would ho give up all
he possessed and become a oonviot
in stripes to have that stain washed
from his conscience. Ho often felt
that did he possess the wealth of the
world he would freely give it for
even one day's relief from the agony
of mind that pursued him, and that
he might experience the feeling of
innocence he knew before that
wretched night.
Were this globe of ours coined
into gold and placed at my disposal
to take the lifo of the most debased
and miserable human being that
walks the earth, even under the most
justifiable circumstances, I would
scorn tho bribe.
Unless a man, as I have stated, has
A heart scarred with sin, and is inca
pable of feeling remorse, I some
times* think it would be an ant of
mercy and kindness to put him to
death, aft?r wilfully and deliberately
taking LIIO life of a fellow man. A
jury may acquit him, and he may live
a lonfj life, applauded and honored
by the world, but there beats in his
breast an inner monitor, and whioh
will ever keep him reminded of that
dark deed. His entire existence will
be one prolonged agony, and there
will ever walk by his side in day, and
repose upon his pillow at night, an
unseen speotre of tho dead man, and
from which terrible and constant
visitor there is no escape.
Tho murderer is reminded of the
fate that awaits him by the Bible,
and which commands that "He who
sheds man's blood by man shall his
blood be shed."
I admit that there are occasions
when it becomes imperatively neces
sary to take human life, but my
greatest hope and desire is that no
such dread alternative shall ever be
forced upon myself. I had sooner
go to my grave the victim of an
other, than spend my days on earth
with hands dripping with the life
blood of any one created in God'B
own image.
Life is sweet, but it is anything but
sweet to a red-handed murderer.
In penning this article I had no in
dividual ease in mind, but give it as
the observation of my lifo and a
warning.-T. Larry Gantt.

Tao Bongt-Cock Controversy.
Newry, Decouber 20.-Editora Com1er:
On tbe western border ot Ooonea, OD the
line between Georgia and South Caro
lina, Ure? a gentleman well known to
you, sinoe you have devoted a !"? ?t
s Dace from time to time to the produc
tion of bis gifted peu and fertile brain.
That we might make lt clear to th?
readers of The Conrler as to who that
man ts, we will say lt la J. A. Cook,
whose big heart overflows with love and
sympathy for the poor farmers-renter?
-aud those that are so unfortunate, like
mysolf, as to be orowded into those "lit
tle old huts around tho cotton mills."
This man Cook has of late become sc
lo love with the farmers' renters and
working people that we would nol
be surprised to hear of his building
splendid residences upou and down thc
Tugaloo, such as would, for eleganoe and
grandeur, exool those on the Hudson, in
New York, or along the Rhine, in
France, and give the fertile acres to them
free of rent. Mr. Cook, I will oome
directly to your caso-so please stand up.
Mr. Cook, did you build, or have built,
the eight and ten-room houses you have
spoken about? If so, did you build
them expressly for your renters, and do
you intend the house you have in course
of erection to*be as good as the other
two? If so, you will have set an exam
ple worthy of being followed by most
other laud owners, and one that ought to
meet.with hearty approval by renters.
Mr. Cook, you mentioned tho many
nice things you did for your renters, but
you did not say anything about what
they did for you, or how muoh rent they
paid. You also spoke about tbe barns
and oribB you had built for them, but did
not mention a thing about what was io
them exoept that the lofts in two barns
were full of feed-cow feed, I guess. So,
Mr.. Cook, if you will tell me that the
cribs are full of oom and stalls full of
horses and oattle, and neveral pens full
of hogs, and if the c.?n, horses, oattle
and hogs belong to the renters, aud if
they are out of debt, then you can tell
thom I said for them to never leave J. A.
Cook to.be orowded into the "little old
buts around the ootton mills." But if
they have no corn, horsos, oattle or hogs
and are in debt, they bad better come to
Newry and get a job in the mill, where,
if they will work, they oan get out of
debt, have three square meals evory day,
consisting of ham, beef steak, pork, cof
fee, milk, butter, choeso, ohioken, eggs,
preserves, cte,, aud biscuts made from as
line flour as was over made. At the
same time we have good shoes and
olothes to wear, and a good school that
runs about nine mouths in a year, whore
you can send tho children without pay
ing tni-ion. The building, which is
modern, is furnished by tho company, at
a oost to them of over $1,000. It in
seated with modern desks, and in the
building is a library of about-lix) volumes
of various kindB of good books, all free
to tho school and pupils of the village.
Besides, we will soon have a nico church
completed, with a modern -system of
beating and lighting, and with other
things that are necessary in making an
up-to-date house of worship, at a cost to
the company, or mill! men hero, of over
$2,000. So you see, Mr. Cook, this is a
very nice showing for the "oppressive
mill men." It is nearly as good a part
as you do by your employees or tenants,
is it not? Now don't prevaricate o:
equivocate, but speak the honest convic
tions of your mind.
This is not all that the Courtenay
Manufacturing Co. has done for their
employees. They have built nice, neat
houses, some with hallways and all with
varandas, not those "little huts," as you
seem to think they are; but nice li onsen
with from six to eight rooms, aud from
one to two brick chimneys in oaoh of
tho houses. With few exceptions there
is a lire place to every room, except the
stove ninnis cud they have nice brick
dues, and evory house is well coiled or
plastered, and kept nicely painted inside
and out.
Now, Brother Cook, be honest, how
do these houses compare with your
tenant houses ? Do they not come
nearor to a mansion than those eight and
ten room houser, of yours ? And can
you call thom huts from the general ac
cepted application of tho word hut, or
even from Webster's broad and full
definition of tho word hut? For he in
his unabridged dictionary says a hut is
"a small house, hovel, a mean lodge, or
dwelling, a cottage." He furthor Bays
the word "hut" is particularly applied
to log houses erected for troops in win
ter.
So you see, Mr. Cook, you failed to
fully and correctly quote Mr. Webstor.
Besides, we don't think that you will
deny the faot that when you called the
houses around tho ootton mills "little
old huts," that you did not speak con
temptibly of them and reflected upon
those that dwell in them and the mill
that provided them. Yes, Mr. Cook,
you did this, whether you intendod it or
not.
However, Mr. Cook, suppose whon we
wore in your town some months sinco
and had the honor of mooting you at Mr.
Fricks's house, that we on our return
to Newry had writton an article for pub
lication about what we had seen on our
trip to Fort Madison, and had said the

bouses around and about thor.-? wer?
nothing but "Utile old huts," would you
not have taken lt as a redectiou upon
yourself aa well aa anon your town, and
most of those that live there ? We ask
you tbli question that yon may carry the
matter rlvbt home to yourself, and trie lt
by your own personal feelings and dig
nity. We well know, Mr. Cook, that
some of the beat men this country ever
produced were raised in a log house or
but; but no doubt lt was not a ohoioe of
theirs, but a necessity, from the fact aa
soon as most of them could do better
they got out of those log houses or bute.,
So, Mr. Cook, the logical conclusion of
your remark, "little old huts around
the mills," and the tenor and spirit in
whioh you wrote and expressed it, is that
yon intended to oonvey the idea that the
mill owners did not provide for their
help as they should, aud that those that
occupied those "little old huts" were
the outcasts and scam of society.
Now, Mr. Cook, an 8-room house at
this place rent? for *0o per year. It will
comfortably house a family of twelve
operatives, after allowing a oook, dining
and sitting room and room for the father
and mother. These twelve people oan,
after working in the mill a short time,
make at least $18 eaoh per month. We
have a niece working in the mill who
makes about $30 per month. The twelve
people alluded to, ocoupying an 8 room
house at a cost in rent of $00 per year,
make in wages an aggregate of $2,502.
Mr. Cook, we ask you the question:
Will you rent a family of twelve good
working hands a farm with, a good 8
room house, that will make $2,502 in
prodnoe, at a oost in reut of $00 ?
Now about 10-room houses: We have
none, but the same proportion as to rent,
number of hands and wages, aa In the
oaae of the 8-room house, would bold
good. The rent would be $120 por year,
and lt would comfortably house eighteen
operatives, who could make $3,888 per
year. I ask you, Mr. Cook, if the family
that ltveB lu your 10 room house makes
that much per year, or anything like the
proportion?
Now as to "ooopiog." There is noce
of it hero unless it is chickens, and thoy
are sometimes oooped, bot not so with
the people, for tn our o room houses
there ave never more than two small
families (and several with one family)
in them, and in the 8-room buildings
there are from one to two small families,
and none are compelled by the mill men
to be so situated. The people come here
of their own froe will.
In concludion, Mr. Cook, let mo say
that for ten yoars previous to the war,
whon less cotton was made than now,
and practically no cotton mills in the
South, and whon "ootton mill combina
tions" wero not droamod of, ootton sold

like period ?inco. Mr. Cook, I think you
will agree to this. If so, who is it that
gives the farmors a bettor prico for their
cotton to-day than before the war, and
who ia it that direotly or indirectly af
fords them a market for their ootton?
Is it not the "oppressivo cotton mill
men?" Yes, from the vory faot that they
are tho ouly oonsumors-we can't oat it.
As to one of our mill men buying cot
ton in Georgia: If ho saw that it was to
his interest to do so, was it not his duty
to do it? Besides it was tho farmers,
perhaps, that received tho ll oouts per
pound; and as to his discharging one of
his hands for not voting as ho requested,
wo confesa that ho did wrong. And as
to not lotting ono of his bands live in his
own house, we do not think ho could do
that. As a great many things you have
said aro hearsays, wo will not express au
opinion here. Wo know one thing, the
Courtenay \ Manufacturing Co. employs
men that live in their own houses or
away from tho mill.
So, Mr. Cook, according to your logio,
what a mistake the statesman made in
drafting and writing the constitution
and fundamental laws of this country in
not sayiug that there should be no ootton
mills or cotton seed oil mills or any
other manufacturing concern, then per

that is, instead of you directing the ]
efforts of your gifted pen and fertile
brain in sowing yio seeds of discord be

discourage the building of cotton mills
in the South, whloh is tho South's
financial salvation; that yon will direct)
your brilliant pen and brain In advising
the farmers, who have hewn down the j
forest and done more to make thia coun
t ry what it is than all others combined,
and whose blood has made fertile tho j
soil of every battlo field from Lexington,
Mass., to the City of Mexico; to make
more "hog and hominy" at home and to
diversify and Intensify in their system of
farming, whioh will plaoe them beyond

A Daring Robbery In Charlotte.
Charlotte, Deoember 80.-Char
lotte experienced a bold robbery this
afternoon when a masked man en
tered the home of J. K. Orr, who
lives about two miles from town, and
shot his wife just above the heart j
with a forty-four oalibor revolver.
It is not known how nerious Mrs.
Orr's injury is at this time. The |
robber bad his ' face completely
covered, and Mrs. Orr could not tell
whether he was white or black, but I
it is thought that there was two or
more, Only $8 in money wis secured,
as they were frightened off by some
one passing. They piled numbers
of articles under a hedge olose to the
house, whioh they seoured by com
pletely ransacking the house.
lt Indigestion a Disease. ?
The best medioal authorities say that
indigestion is not always oaused by a
disoasod stomach, but may result from a
disordered liver, constipation, excite
ment, etc. The causo ls of little conse
quence when Rydales Stomach Tablets
are taken, as they never fail to digest
the food, check fermentation, free the
atomaoh from irritating aoids and an ex
poss of gas. They relieve at once, belch -1
lng, heartburn, sour stomach, fullness
after oatlng, etc. Rydales Stomach Tab
lets have a speoifio tonio effeot on the
it omach and organs of assimilation and
are guaranteed to cure the worst forms
of stomach trouble. J. ll. Darby, Wal
halla; Seneca Pharmaoy.
Kept a "Thiel" Account.
A dispatch from Burlington, N. J.,
to Tho New York Sun says : For
Beveral weeks articles of merchandise
have been disappearing from the
store of a prominent Burlington
merchant. Tbe losses beoame so
frequent that finally tho raorohant
opened an account in his ledger]
with "thief," and as each loss was ]
reported the amount was entered.
During tho business rush on Christ
mas Eve a man WSB doteoted in the
act of shoplifting. As he started
for the street with tho plunder
bidden under his coat the proprietor'
followed him, touched him on the
shoulder and asked him to come to
the office, saying there was a present)
there for him. As he stepped up to
the desk ho wss presented with a j
bill addressed to "Thief, Dr.," and
whioh contained a list of all the ar
ticles that had boon stolen from the
store during the past month.
"Now," said the merchant, "you
have the alternative of paying that]
bill or going to jail."
"I'll pay," murmured the man,
without a moment's hesitation,
He did so, tho bill waa reoeiptod,
and he wns allowed his liberty, with
best wishes for a merry Christmas.
Rydales Elixir.
The new scientific discovery for dis
eases of the throat and lungs, aots upon
a new principle differing greatly from
the old style oough medicines, whioh are
composed chiefly of wild cherry and tar,
which do little more than stimulate the
lining of the throat and longs. Rydales
Klixir strikes at the root of the trouble,
it kills the microbes that canse throat I
and lung diseases. . It removes the cause
and hastens recovery by helping nature
restore the diseased organs to health.

AuOfcoL
Eite?-ualJy applied, aioobol is au
antiseptic und a disinfectant, though
it ls principally used as a looal irritant?
and by allowing lt, to evaporate as a
cooli UK lotion to the akin. If the
vapor is coi.fined and penetrates to
the fleu? ?uJern J?th,or if the alcohol
is diligently rubbed inf o the flesh, it
hardens it. In this w?y it is of use
in preventing bed-sore* ?nd tbe like.
Spirituous liniments which contain
essential oils and other stimulants are
sometimes applied with friction to
inorease nutrition at the place which
is the seat of long-standing inflamma
tion, pain and stiffness, such as is
present in ohronio rheumatism, stiff
jointe and paralysis.
'Internally the aotion of alcohol is
both looal and general. If allowed
to come directly into contact with
the walls of the stomach it irritates
them, causing them to assume an
inflamed appearance. If the quantity
of alcohol is large, or more or less
oontinaonsly applied, actual Inflamma
tion of the lining of the surface
follows.
When alcohol is taken with food,
and mixes with the contents of the
stomaoh, it is partly decomposed into
substances which in turn decompose
the gastric juices, rendering them
inert and thus depressing digestion.
Whatever may somotimes be said in
favor of the use of stimulants with
meals, it is very doubtful if the slight
temporary stimulating effect of euoh
drinks is at all compensatory for
their interference with the action of
the gastric fluids..
Alcohol enters the blood un- \
changed, and is distributed by it to
tho various organs and parts of the
body, where it is rapidly absorbed,
and where its aotion is nearly the
same as in the stomaoh.
It first stimulates the organ to
increased aotivity, but at the same
time causes the chemical ohange in
the substance of the organ by which
the organ itself is woakened ; so that
eventually depressiou ensues.
It is this peculiar double aotion of
alcohol which is misleading. So
long as the organs of the body are
in a healthy condition, alcohol is
little short of a poison. The organ,
in order to do its work properly,
needs food, and unless there is inter
ference the food will be absorbed and
changed into proper forms of nourish
ment. Alcohol robs the organ of
the power of doing this.
In these days of prepared foods
and general advance in science, there
are roany ways of scouring the only
beneficial result which alcohol gives,
that is to say, stimulation, without
restoring to its use.-Youth's Com
panion.
A Good Liver.
A bad liver means a bad breath, bad
complexion, poor digestion and often
constipation. A good healthy, aotive
liver means a flue, clear skio, freo from
pimples and spots, bright eyes, buoyant
spirit?, in other words good health.
Mako the liver healthy and keep it
healthy by using Rydales I,ivor Tablets.
They act specifically on tho liver aB a
mila stimulant and tonic, arousing it to
aotivity. They gently stimulate the
muscular walls of the bowels and intes
tines and thus assist nature to restore a
regular healthy habit. J. H. Darby,
Walhalla; Seneca Pharmacy, Seneca.
The tallest building on earth is to
be ereoted in lower Broadway, if
present plans are oarried out, says a
New York dispatch. With five
stories below the street level, forty
stories high from the entrance to th?
top floor and surmounted by a 60
foot tower, the gigantio new build
ing will have a total height of 616
feet, making it over twice as high as
the Flatiron building, and almost as
tall again as the Park Row building,
which at present holds the record.
This building is to extend one full
blook on Broadway and its oost, in
cluding the site^will reaoh $10,000,

bought, and the completion of the
building within one year is promised.

A Terrible Accident.
The mpst terrible aooident of the
Christmas holidays, was the wreck of
the Duquesne limited ou the Balti
more and Ohio railroad, eight miles
west of Connellsville, Pa., last week.
Sixty-eight people were killed out
right and a hundred or more were
seriously injured. The wreok was
caused by the timbers that bad been
dropped from a oar that had been
improperly loaded and which had
passed just ahead on a parallel traok.
The locomotive that was pulling the
train stopped with a sudden jerk
and turned over, pinioning the
engineer and fireman underneath.
The smoker was crushed into kind
ling wood almost and the following
oars wore completely wrecked. Tho
destruction in tho smoker was most
terrible. The broken safty valve of
the locomotive projected through the
roof of the car and sent a stream of
soalding steam among the inmates
until a dining oar steward managed
to stuff the valve with his ooat.
Ghouls and robbers appeared on the
suene soon after the accident, and
much money was stolen from the
dead passengers.
