TJncfflcial statistics of the year show that the number of murders and sui ? cides in this country has greatly in / 'creased, and that there has been a de crease in the number cf legel extcu tions, compared with the Lumber oi icmicldes.. The homicides and deaths by violence total 9,212, as compared with 8,482 for tbe year 19^4. The startling feature cf the record is the increase in the number of mur dcirs committed by highwaymen, be inp582, against 464during 1904. Four . years ago the number ?"? only 103. Jealousy provoked 579 murders and liquor 642. Homicides growing out ol quarrels number 5 111. The record cf self-destruction is one of the most deplorable of tbe year, the number of . prominent men biirg much larger than hitherto. The total is 9,982, an increase of 542 ove:: the list of the proceeding year. The steadiness of tile increase is indicated in the fol lowing table: In 1899, 5 340; 1900, 6 775; 1901, 7.245; 1902, 8 597; 1904 9,420; 1905, 9,982. The proportion of suicides between men and women remains about the same, nearly twice as many men as . women taking their own lives. Phy sicians head the list cf professional men, the number being 340 The causes were despondency, do mestic, infelicity, dissapolntment in' love, 111 health, liquor and business losses. Poison was resortf d to in 4, 732 cases, shooting in 2,861, hanging tot 1,022 and drowning in 868. Ten blew themselves up with dyna xalte and three starved themselves. The legal executions numbered 133 cf which 51 were in tbe North and 82 in the South. Sevebty-three were negroes, 59 white men and one a Chinaman. ; Mrs. Bogers, of Vermont, was the one woman executed. Showing, the relative changes of murderers and ex ccutions it may be said that in 1835 .1,808 murders were reported, while the number of hangings was 108, while :bhis year 133 were hanged or electro cuted for 9 212 murders committed. The number of lycohings was 66, 'She smallest number reported since 18 -35 when statistics were first gathered ?by tbe press. Of the total number lyn . ched 65 were negroes. Thirty four were lynched for murder, 15 for crim inal assault and 15 for miscellaneous .reasons. A. Finny affair. The newspaper controversy, be tween D. H. Means, clerk of the sink ing fund commission, and Jessie T. Gauntt, late private secretary Secre tary of State M. B. Cooper and pres ent secretary of State is calculated to make the people sit up and pay atten tion. As the Newberry Observer says the gist of the whole thing is that there has probably been "graft" in the secretary's office. It looks that way, though the proof is only circumstantial and inferential, Five books of the c ffi 3e are missing?said to have been destroyed by a very mysterious fire in che secretary's of fice?a fire that seems to have known precisely wnere these books were and to have gone for them and scarcely anything else. Four of the bock; were books Oof original entry, in which Mr. Gaunt j, while private sec retary and aftervrai d? as secretary cf state entered, the charier fees of the cfflce; the other was a bonk kept by Mr. Means himself showing fees turned over to him. Mr. Means ex: planation of the books puts M Sec retary Gauntt is a very awkwaiu posi tion bi fore the public. Mr. Gauntt replies that Mr. M -ads is an "enemy" 'and is trying to injure him. Toere will likely be some revelations by an investigating committee Dt fure the matter is ended. S^uth Carolina cannot afford to let c fficial scandals like this be fought out in the news paper. A thorougb^and impartial/ in vestigation is needed and there is reason to hope that the whole affair will be sifted to tbe bottom. "Will Be on J?op." While speaking before more than three thousand negroes in Macon, Ga. emancipation day, John W. Gilbert, cf Paine college, Augusta, urged the leaders of his race to fight for a jury trial in cases before tbe oourts, where twelve of their peeis, that is twelve members of the colored race, shall decide the matter at issue. In a very long address, he urged this change and was received with great en thusiasm. He said the negroes ,d the same right as the white r< o tbe ancient trial before a juryo? .ir peers, and protested that twelve w^ite men could in no initance be termed tne peer of the negro. The sugges tlon was an entirely new one, and fell lipon the ears of his hearers with a profoundness that was astounding. The matter stirred the negroes as no other similar utterance irom a negro speaker before a gathering of Macon negroes in many years. He said if the race was to judge from the prog ress which had been made during the past thirty years, the passage of an other similar period will witness a civilization that will put tbe race on a firmer basis than that occupied by the whites. "They will be on top" -were the words that fell from the speaker under the spell of the occas ion. A Surprise Party. A pl??saat surprise party may be given to your stomapb and liver, by taking a medicine which will relieve their pain and cuYcomfort, viz: Dr. King's New Life Pflls. They are a most wonderful remedy, affording sure relief and cure, for headseie, diz ziness and constipation. 25o at any drug store. Has Two Jobs. James B.

The Old Ye^r has gone and gone forever The :Old Year ; with all of its blessings and sorrows, its joys and sadness, its hopes and disapointments, its suc cesses and failures, is gone. Some of us have possibly fallen far short of our hopes and ambitions, and very few have lived up to the full measure of their Christain privileges and op portunities. Whatever of lost opportunities, mistakes, failures and dis appointments of the Old Year let us take fresh courage and enter the New Year with more zeal and energy, greater determination and persever ance, for tne outlook is nattering and the ODpor ' tunities and possibilities of 1906 will likely sur pass all other years in the history of our great nation.
