Ol righr ir wr..rg. 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,

simply buy the influence of A., B. and

* *r do not intend to enter fully into
the question of the recall of officials
and especially Judges. 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. Her
: halls resounded with the voices of Wal|
pole, Pitt, Burke, Fox and Erskine.

the past.
"These evils we have just been considering
will wreck our happiness and ;
deluge our land. They reach out the
mighty hands of destruction to pull!
down our temples and sow to the \
winds our wealth. The French republic
is the only example in history of a

the home today of James B. Moore, a
prominent business man of this place.
The dead: James B. 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.
The only clue so far found are bloody ;
Anger prints in different parts of the j
house. The house stands among a j
number of residents, but none of the j
neighbors heard an outcry last night.;

been unable to secure a trace of the .
murderer and have little or 110 clue to;
his identity. The murderer killed evjery
person in the house and escaped..
It is apparent he had a key to a door j
j of the home, because all doors and,
: windows were found locked. j
The first intimation of the crime;
: came when a clerk in the implement;
house of Mr. Moore went to Moore's !
home to find what delayed Moore in j

Mr. and Mrs. Moore were in one bed,

The Spillinger girls, who werejovernight
guests, occupied a room in another
part of the house.

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.
