Tney have not the faintest conceptions of property rights or of legal obligations. I. of course, re?er to the negro. Judge George \V Gage, one of the s.')?t cirjudi'.s r ti?is or any otV-r .bta:? in open court on one occasion made the assertion that it was impossible to get at the truth of any negro transaction. Every negro school-house is a menace to our civilization. Mark Twain m his book, "Puddenhead Wilson," shows that with all the advantages of wealth, education and easy surroundings, a negro will always be a negro. Every day spent in negro schools and every dollar of property owned by the negro tends to batter down the frail bariers erected by the Southern States against the negro votes. I shudder to t&ink of conditions once they get the power to make laws without constitutional safeguards. Those who remember the terrible nightmare of Reconstruction times will appreciate the force of this objection. With their jiuwmg liiuuitruce <xuu cucir auqujsition of a smattering of learning and their secret societies at home, and encouraged by mischief makers at the North, the old, old negro problem will j aot down. "6. But who would be able to put in motion these mighty agencies of destruction? Certainly not the poor man?the insignificant man. The mighty corporations with their great army of retainers and hirelings would j use them^as engines to drag down auy j man or law that might cross them in l their unholy purposes. The advocates of these measures cunningly claim that they would help in putting down ; the reign of corporations. Xo man who has looked deeply into the question would for a moment think so. If; you take up the people of the various j Sta'?s upon whom the money pow< i through factory employees, clerks, men ; who are dependent on b&nks and men I with money have claims you will fin the number o^ really independent men, : alarmingly small.

An independent, learned and fearless judiciary lies at the verv foundation of our liberties. I In our State the learning and charac-' 'ter of the various circuit judges are the great bulwark of protection, liberty and property rights. They are the real government for the average man. They ought j.o be responsible to nothing except the law. We have ample pro tection in impeacnment proceeamgs. i e in South Carolina bave wisely de*id?fd th?.t lt*z - nr. :.T-c thnt ought not to be filled by election by the peo-? pie. The judge stands between every man and the law. He administers the law to every man. Suppose that there is a case in which there is much popu lar interest and prejudice?where some unpopular man has a valid, legal claim, and that this matter comes before a judge and he knows that a re call petition will be filed and a vote had as soon as he makes the decision. Is this not burdening a judge with a iardship that no man ought to be called on to bear? "Some say that this is a mere warning to keep our officials straight; that the fear of a recall will really do the -? xi? IT ?ill 1.. :? worK ana me recau win rareiv, n ever, 5e called into use. Now, my observation has been that no precaution or threat will keep any bad man from doitig wrong. He will do wrong in the tope of not being caught or of escap fng punishment. In my judgment, about the only effect that a sword of Damocles like the recall will have is that it will keeD eood men from accept ing judgshins. Any lawyer will tell you that we lose many good judges in . this State because lawyers with good practices will not accept positions on the bench on account of the small salaries. Now, if you add to this the I other evil of recall, the result will be disastrous. "Also, when a recall petition is filed, , in what light dees the judge 011 trial : before the people appear? Does he go [forth clothed with the majesty 01 tne law and bearing the unabashed front of innocence? Xo: he comes before the people discredited, with an honorable record stained and a good name shattered; his loved ones at home shrinking and cowering under a load of shame, their good name gone and the head of the home, formerly their | pride, now jesting under a cloud of 1 | seeming guilt?his reputation a soiled j and hated thing. I "This would be a step backward. ! Under the Tudors and Stuarts in Engj land, the judges were the mere creaj tures of the king. Then the man was i set at naugat, but during the reign of William and Mary, the power of the courts was restored?then and only then began the golden period in English history and jurisprudence.

Moore and wife; Herman Moore, aged , 11; Catherine Moore, aged 9; Boyd Moore, aged 1, j Faul .vioore, aged t>; Misses i.ena ana ina Spillinger, aged 15 and 19, respectively. The bodies of all, with their heads i terribly mashed with an axe, were' found in their beds. There is no defi-1 nite clue to the murder, although the I authorities are searching for a suspect. A desire for revenge is believed to have prompted tfte murderer. Only one of the bodies showed indi- i cations of a struggle. One of the j Spillinger girls lay with one arm thrown out, as though she had awak-! ened and tried to ward off the mur-! derer's blow. A lighted kerosene lamn ' was found on the floor in the middle j of the room occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Moore. Finger Prints Only Clue.

Will Use Bloodhounds. * Blood stains, including finger prints on the front door knob and on the woodwork, are the only clues the officers have to work on. A militia company is patrolling the section of the city near the Moore home until bloodhounds have been put upon the trail. The bodies will not be removed until a coroner's jury has examined them.
