SERMON PROA .TPoTveri'vil J\ wnigninoi Oil 1*1 '/'/" St,,/, Tin Court "f General Sessions for l?ichland County opened yesterday, and it wa- signalized by a charge I the grund jury bi -Imigo Henel which called forcibly to the attention nf thc people tie' crying evil of thc c II ry i II g of concealed weapons, lt" n- .?? >.!.... ?? that should bc read from i tic : nd of the State to the other ami should be heeded by all. lt w.t.- ? powerful 'sermon from the h nell, and was given thc closest attention through out. The Judge spoke feelingly and fully, being moved to 'lo so by thc fact that lie found ?rn Iiis docket no less than nine homicide canes, each occurring since the last tenn of court in this County. After charging thc jury on ?ts gen eral and specific duties, Judge Benet >aid: ''There certainly is need for sonic legislation looking to thc reduc tion of the number of homicides that annually occur in thc borders of South Carolina. Mr. Foreman and gentle men of thc jury, thc annual report of thc attorney general made to thc H en crai Assembly for the fiscal year 1S?I?? shows to thc world that during the previous 12 months 2-13 of our fellow citizens were ??ut to death hy thc hand of our own fellow citizens; 2-lil homi cides in thc small State of South Carolina in one your, and last year was not an exceptional year. This is just about the annual quota. Il is appa H i ni: io look hack and think that so many ol' our fellow citizens who were alive one year ago now sleep in bloody graves. It is perhaps still nene appaling to look forward and know by this time next year an equal number of bloody graves. This may startle the ordinary citizen, but this is a fact which cannot he denied. ? ought also to add that this Slate is not alone in that blot) ly record. Thc statistics show that in thc I'uitcd States some 12,000 or KI.OOO homicides are committed every year. True, the proportion is greater in the Western and Northern States than thc North eastern States, und if it is any com fort to us it is also true thut our pro portion iu South Carolina is not great er than that of our sister States of the South and thc West. But, gentle men, in comparison with the number of homicides in other civilized, Chris tian countries-for instance, Germany, Great Britain and France-the num ber of homicides in South Carolina should not exceed 25 or HO annually. Compared with some countries, should not exceed 15, and yet Hichland County at this term of court displays thc bloody record of nine horr.icidcs committed since thc last term of court -since last November. Should not these facts, gentlemen, give ns ptusc and induce us to see if something can not be done to stop or cheek to some extent this fearful calendar of mur der and manslaughter. 1 am aware, Mr. Foreman and gentlemen, while homicides are far too numerous, they i Include few cases of heinous murder, j .cry few cases of murderfor robbery's sake, for instance, or for revenge, and very few of these cold-blooded cases of poisoning and such murders which constitute almost thc entire number of homicide in the Northeastern Stales. The homicides in thc South ern States and South Carolina arc in a large measure utterly unnecessary and spring fiom false notions of manhood and bravery, and from mistaken views of self-d?fense. They are thc result . pf angry encounters in which both .:ucu are armed-frequently in which one ?s armed and supposes thc other to he armed. 1 say that they are needlessly numerous. Wc are not more hot tempered than [other people, nor more sudden or quick in a quar rel than our forefathers. The records ?d' the courts of 50 years ago show that the crime of homicide was much rarer in this State than it now is. Your forefathers were men of like passions with yourselves. Thc Englishman, the German or the Frcnchmau is neith er milder mannered nor less pugna cious than the American. ''What is thc cause, gentlemen, of this extraordinary number of homi cides? 1 am suro each one of you eau assign certainly as one cause the de plorable custom of carrying pistols, a custom carried to such an extent that our State may be regarded an armored camp in times of peace. Our young men and hoys, blnck and white, rich and poor, seem to think that their outfit is not complete without a pistol; some of our older men show a bad ex ample, and I regret to say some pub lic officials have on occasions been found armed in violation of thc law. Pistols are carried not as a protection at night in some lonely road or in some tem?te part of thc country during tho day or in some dangerous neighbor hood, V<it at public meetings, on thc streets, at social gatherings, even at daily labor, and^following the plough, i Till: BENCH it ot Ooiic'Oiil??? 1 \V"eap .actice. .

Gen tlemen, as surely as this lamentable habit continues so surely will two or three hundred of our fellow citizens annually fill untimely graves, the vic tims of the pistol habit. It is a fear ful price to pay for thc privilege of carrying anns. It is not only unlaw ful to carry arms concealed upon the person, but it is unchristian, un civilized and still more should tho appeal bc made to thc youth of the country who carry pistols that it is unmanly and cowardly, and altogether unnecessary in a civilized communi ty. It causes our young men, no doubt, to hold human life very cheap, and it causes them also to have false ideas of bravery and true manliness, and it has infused in the publie mind wrong and vicious views of the right of self-defense. ''Gentlemen of the ?rand jury, how many corpses of men slain by the pis tol carrying homicide have been searched in vain for thc pistol, and yet thc slayers have put up their pica of self-defense, and juries have ac quitted them on that plea, because forsooth thc defendant, thc man-slay cr, testified that when he shot his victim he had put his hand to his hip pocket or was about to p?acc it there, and he was induced to believe by that act that he had a pistol and was about to draw it. Ile presumed, in other words, that he was in danger and act ed, as he claimed, in self-defense. If that presumption is tobe regarded by petit jurors must we not create anoth er presumption in fact to meet it that thc mun who carries a pistol habi tually must bo presumed to have mur der in his heart and is a dangerous man to the peace of any community. When a blood-guilty man is set free by the verdict of a jury, then the pub lic, through the press, condemns thc jury, speaks of miscarriage of justice, that thc jury system is ?1 failure and the like, not reflecting that thc jury is only carrying into ei?cct thc public'i own mistaken view and idea of self defense. Water ?loes not rise above its level. A petit jury is part of the people, and it is not wiser or better than thc people from whom it is drawn by lot. It is futile to lay the blame at thc door of thc jury or the system of trial by jury. Let it lie also at the door nf all who arc guilty of carrying pistols concealed upon their persons. I would not belittle thc right of self defense. It is a good right; it is a God given right, as well as a right recognized by the law of our land; but it is woefully misunderstood and most rashly and recklessly exercised, until the blood of hundreds of men eries aloud from hundreds of graves for the vengeance which thc courts have lenied them. "Two huudred and forty-three men slaughtered in South Carolina last fear, and how many convicted? Ninc y nine. In other words, 1 -H- men vith their fellows' blood on their lands go free, pronounced not guilty. There may be a few of these reported jases that have not been tried, but I un speaking in rouud numbers. In round numbers the fact stares us- in thc face that only one of every three men who wore in the dock ehnrg ?d with murder has been convicted either of murder or manslaughter. "Gentlemen, if it is always, or near ly always, the intending murderer who is fortunately killed by thc man who is acting iu self-defense, -will not the race of murderers soon bc extermina ted in this State at thc rate of 200-odd Et year? To put that question is to show the reductio ad absurdum.

Our legisla tures have again and again endeavor ed to pass laws and have passed a variety of laws, but they arc doad lot tcrs, and a dead letter law is itself teacher of lawlessness, and unpunish ed violation of law eats like a e??ncc. into thc body politic.

Churches, ; Sunday-schools and school* .md eui: . legos, <d young men's Christian nssor elations and all the means and ap pliances for Christian religion in all varieties and forms, perhaps to a great er extent than any other civilized land and yet in this year of 1900 our re cord to-day cannot compare for a mo ment with the record of ancient Kgypt of three thousand years ago, for it was then the boast of Kgypt that "in times of peuce none of our citizens carry arms.'* And here in the year 1900 I am safe in saying that the majority of the youth ofourcoun try carry anns. No doubt there is a difficulty the way of our legislature ?.ur constitution-the federal consti tution- secures to the citizen thc right to carry arms, but it surely can not be contended that thc little devil ish pocket pistol, the hip pocket, tho coat-pocket, thc vest-pocket pistol was in the contemplation of the fram ers ol' the constitution when they se cured to thc citizen thc right to carry arms. Those wise fathers of thc re public never intended to leave as a legacy to posterity so bloody a curse. That constitutional provision had re lation only to the character of arms theu carried by thc soldiers in defcuse of their country and the huntsmeu on the plain-muskets, rifles, swords, cavalry pistols, carried as brave men carry their arms, opeuly. Thc dia bolical habit of concealed weapons had not yet grown into existence. It was to preserve the right to defend home, property, person and family and to defend the country and the right to hunt game, lt was for this purpose and similar purposes that thc consti tutional provision was inserted. Ile will be a wise man und u benefactor to his State who can suggest to the legislature some law that can grappl : with this evil or reduce it. There is no doubt that a law might bc framed making it a heinous crime and se riously punishable to manufacture, sell or buy or usc or possess a pistol under a certain size, and thc size might bc made such that it would bc impossi ble to conceal it upon thc person and thus put a stop in a large measure to the carrying of concealed deadly weap ons. If something like this cannot bc done then all that is left for us to do is to educate public opinion, to educate thc minds of the juries and to banish from thc minds of the youth of the country and the men of thc couutry the diseased notions of self -defense and thus wo may to Bonio extent reduce the number of homicides and rid our land of thc awful curse. "I have already referred to thc fact that sometimes juries arc con demned for what aro supposed to be miscarriages of justice and a failure to dc what was expected. The jury sys tem has been very much discussed of late throughout the State, and in some p:>rts of thc State has been con demned as being not as successful as it ought to be. pnd it has been even pronounced as a failure In my opin ion such condemnation is altogether undeserved. Our jury law, our sys tem of trial by jury is good if only carried into effect. Our statutes re quire that tho jury commissioners shall choose so many nautcs in their respective counties, men well qualified to serve as jurors, men of sound judgment, and of good moral charac ter; there ii no County in this State that cannot furnish a sufficient num ber for every term of court-mcu of good moral character, sound judgment and well qualified to serve as jurors; if thc names of such men arc uot put in the box it is not the fault of th" law, but entirely the fault of the jury : commissioners who are unworthy of their offices from whatever cause. Thc remedy for that is to impeach thc jury commissioners as unworthy of their high trust and place better men in office and not to ask for a change of thc jury law. If bad me? are listed and their names put in the jury box it is needless to look for good men to be ' taken out. ' "Jury trial is a priceless heritage. It is a protection of thc poor man ( against tyranny and oppression. It is the bulwark of our liberties, espec ially in a rebellion form of govern? ment; thc protector of the weak against thc strong and tho best guar antee of freedom that we have. It does sometimes miscarry, but it is hu man to err; that is no reason why thc cry should be raised to abolish tho system of trial by jury. Men who decry one miscarriage of justice, seem to forget that there are ninety and 1 nine cases where verdicts are in thc ! criminal and civil side, in which jus tice is done. Twelve honest mon, . fair minded men, of ordinary intelli gence, drawn from the ordinary walks of life to try a case in court-that is the system of wisdom. Nothing- has been dovised that oan be oompared to it as a means of doing justice between , man and man and only corruption . can destroy or injure tho jury sys tem. "In connection with the enforce ment of law and the proper adminis tration of justice I trust I shall bc 1 i.-.loned if T d: iw attention to anoth er matter-that is thc granting of pir ' ?tl?y has no referonce ?? : i?- r excellent chief execu :?>?.?.. ul it is to the ey?tem which ,t subjects bim nuil subjected Iii- prede cessors to the persecution by petition ers, coin pelling lin? governor to try ?gaiii cases which ought to bc left settled in the courts by tho verdicts ot' thc juries and by the convictions of th?; jurie.-. What is the history of crimi nal cases, especially if thc defendant be a white man and is convicted? If his case be appealed to thc supreme court and the appeal be dismissed, that i.< not an end of it. Instantly his f rieuds, sometimes his counsel - although it does not fall within their province to ?li? so-sometimes his counsel and always his friends goto work to get petition s signed for morey and tlie governor's office is besieged and deputations go in person and in many cases there i- no good ground for thc exercise of executive clemency but simply the purpose is to work upon the sympathy of thc governor, lu too many eases the governors have been induced to yield to the importunities of the petitioners and .-et the convicts free, upou ex parte statements in many cases without the knowledge of the judge who tried th i case or the solicitor who prosecuted it. "The pardoning power is a neces sary incident to the oflico of the chief executive, but it is a powc. to be ex ercised in very rare cases and never to be exercises excepting when there is clear proof that there has been a mis carriage of justice, that thc verdict has been found upon perjured testi mony or there might be some excuse where the convict is dying of a mortal disease. But there should never bc a successful appeal made to the gover nor to pardon out of sympathy and the pardon should never be granted sim ply as a result of importunity. The new constitution provides for thc crea tion of a board of pardons. I do not think any act has beeu passed to carry that provision into eifect. Gentlemen, it would aid very much in the admin istration of justice if such a board were created. Nothing tends more to reduce crime, to deter criminals, than the certainty of punishment. Such a board should be created not only to relieve thc governor but iu tac inter-, ests of justice and to relieve thc gov ernor of the worry and anxiety and trouble to which a system of per secution by petition subjects him." Mary Jumped at Daddy's Ironical He mark. William Fredrick Allen was in love with Mary Anna Jenkins, and was unhappy when not in her company. When he began to call upon her it was only on Friday nights, and he never stayed later than 10. ' Then he began to come on Monday nights also. Later he added Sunday afternoons to his list, and so on until he was liable to drep in at the Jenkins residence every evening in the week, besides spending every Sunday afterhooo there. Mr. Jenkins, Mary Auna's father, watched with growing anger the in creasing frequency of Mr Allen's calls, and often expressed his rufud on the subject to the wife of his bo som, but she silenced him with the convincing query: "Would you like Mary to die an old maid?" Notwithstanding that, Mr. Jenkins was rarely civil to the young man, for he did not like him, and he was more than ever on the point of saying some thing to him which in all probability he would have regretted later. Ono day, however, Mr. Jenkins could restrain himself no longer. William Frcder'ck had not omitted to call a single ..ight for nearly threo weeks, and had been at tho house yn six afternoons iu a week. After Mary Anna had dismissed her admirer she turned and confronted her papa. Ile made a great effort to be calm, and said, with what he intended to be cut ting sarcasm : "Hadn't that young man of yours better bring his truuk?" Instantly Mary Anna threw her inns around her father's neck and kissed him impulsively. "Oh, you dearest, sweetest, best father iu all the world!" she cried, "you don't know how happy you mak o me." "What!" gasped thc old man. "And William will be happy, too, when I tell him," 6he went on, near ly strangling her parent with her en thusiastic hugs. "W-hal's that? ' '.You see, papa, it's just this way. Dear Billy is the best fellow in the world, but ho isn't well off, and wo couldn't for thc life of us seo how wo :ould go to house-keeping; but your kind suggestion thot ho bring his trunk has solved all tho difficulties. We'll stay right with you, father, dear, when we are marired. Oh, you are the best daddy in creation. I'll go and tell mamma, and we'll deoide on the wedding day right away," Mr. Jenkins attempted to speak, but she had gone, and the next he heard was that the wedding would take placo in about three weeks. If he had any opinions on tho subject they were mental ones, for he was not al lowed to exposs them orally, and the affair carno off as planned.

It is an idle fear. Already we have thc beginnings of a new method of utilizing natural energy which will prove enormously more effective than coal ever has been and will be practically inexhaustible, to whatever extent industry' may ex pand. Electrical energy, developed by wa ter power, will run thc world's indus tries, furnish its light aud heat, and bc thc universal substitute for all forms of combustion methods. Water power is practically unlimited, and it will be utilized more and more in pro portion as the need for it arises and as its usc becomes, at different places and at successive periods, cheaper than coal. Tho substitution will pro ceed gradually, until, when thc coal supply is finally exhausted, nobody will have anything more than a curi ous or academic interest in the matter and probably not a ripple will be pro duced in thc steady onward flow of the world's industry. As the usc of wa ter power to develop electrical energy increases to the point of formidable competition with coal, electrical stu dents and inventors will doubtless bring out improvements making it pos sible to store the power or conduct it long distances at small cost, until our factories'prailroads and ships can be operated by it, our houses lighted and warmed and food prepared, all at even less ?xpense than is possible to-day with coal. -9 - - The total population of the Phil ippine islands is estimated at from 8, 000,000 to 10,000,000.

Thc stomach is the receptacle in which food 'is received and the laboratory in which it is prepared to nourish thc different parts of the body. It prepares brain nourishment in one way, nerve nourishment in another, muscle nourishment in another. When the stomach is "out of order" these various forms of nourishment are only partly or imperfectly prepared, and nerve, muscle, or brain, as the case may be, is only partly fed, and the result is pain, which is Nature's protest and warning.
