DID JUSTICE MISCARRY? Some of those christian bretl ern who alivised Rev. Wm. E. Johnson to slay Willie Bellinger, at Bamberg should write to the Chinese minister Wu Ting Fang, for a copy of his address on -The teachings of Confusius, and from it they might gather ilf:ormation: concerning the gol den rule "Do not to others what you would not wish them to do to you." The celebrated murder trial ended last Sunday morning and a jury of twelve men by their verdict proclaimed that Rev. W. E. Johnson, a Baptist preacher who weighed near 200 pounds, was justified in taking a shot gun from the hands of friends the day before, and with it slay Willie Bellinger, a frail young man whose weight was about 110 pounds, for applying an epithet to him. From the testimony it seems that trouble grew out of the painting of a line fence and John son ordered the negro who was doing the painting out of his premises, Bellinger ordered the negro to continue the work and cursed Johnson, whereupon Johnson armed with a borrowed pistol challenged Bellinger to go out on the street; Bellinger ac cepted the banter and Johnson although big enough to have easily handled Bellinger, refused to continue the matter further, giving as a reason that Bel linger was armed, and re turned to his premises. A Col. Counts and a Mr. Sanders figured extensively in the un fortunate affair, they were dea cons of Johnson's church, we think, and day before the killing Sanders loaded some shells and Counts carried a double barrel shot gun to the parsonage, the next day Johnson and Bellinger saw each other at the postoffice. but nothing occured between them, Johnson went home, and as Bellinger was returning to his home leisurely walking along reading a newspaper, Johnson came out of the parsonage, and according to some of the wit nesses, he got behind a telephone pole, used it for a rest and fired. and immediately after, Belliniger fired several pistol shots. It is very evident that friend's Counts and Sanders busied themselves more towards bringing on trou ble than they did towards avert ing it, and if these officious breth em had not loaded the shells and cardied the murderous weapon, in all probability the blood of Willie Bellinger would not be on Rev. WV. IE. Johnson 's hands to day. On account of the standing of the parties we kept a close watch on the proceedings and from the testimony as published, we reached the conclusion that the preacher contributed largely to provoking Bellinger, whom knew had no liking for him, and while Bellinger was wrong in cursing the man, the wrong was not so great as to warrant the taking of life: the jury in ac quitting him must have based their verdict on evidence which did not appear in the papers. The jury was from 6 o'clock Saturday evening until 5 o'clock Sunday morning in the endeavor to reach a verdict of acquittal. It is said when the ver-dict was announced Mr. Johnson took it calmly. and filled his pulpit the same morning. The despatch did not say that his text was "Thou shalt not kill." The fact of the jury who heard all of the evidence hanging for a bout 12 hours in trying to reach a conclu sion will always leave an im pression that Rev. WV. E. John son's usefulness as a inister of the gospel is ended. Life is cer tainly cheap whlen juries acquit on such testimlony as was 'I gie to the press. Gom Paul could hiav f ound out how cheap talk is w~xithout groing all the wayv to France for the purpose. Senator Hanna has again de elined to run for President in 190O4. His boom must be~ de M'LAURIN'S FUTURE. Some of the politicians, who, like Micawber are waiting for soniething to turn up, are very anxious about Senator McLau in's future. The Senator has two more years of his present term to serve, and by that time the people will be able to arrive at a conclusion whether they want to continue him in service or not. and all the anonymous interviews, such as recently ap peared in the Columbia State, seeking to make McLaurin's re election an issue in our State politics will avail nothing. We venture to say the mysterious per son interviewed by the "State" is promised a regular salary of so much per week by that news paper, and he is getting himself in shape to do the "booming" act for a candidate who is after McLaurin's political shoes. It is the quintessence of folly to suggest that McLaurin lead the Republican party in this State because, he happens to agree with the present adminis tration in one or two of its meas ures. Why was not Tillman called upon to lead the Republi can party when he openly de clared himself a protectionist. Was not "protection" the main issue with the Republican party in 1892? McLaurin is a Demo crat and a statesman, like Hoar of Massachusetts, who is a Re publican he has the courage of his convictions and, when his party is wrong and he believes it, he says so regardless of con sequences. Hoar of Massachu setts fought his party and its administration with all his soul on the Philippine question, be cause he believed his party wrong, but Massachusetts does not question Hoar's fealty to the Republican party on account of it; on the other hand he will be re-elected without opposition. Why? Because the intelligence of that'cuitured State appreciate a Representative who is not a truckling time-server. McLaurin has stood squarely with democracy on every party measure. He disagreed with. a majority of the Democratic mem bers of the Senate on the Phil ippine question and instead of sneezing when the majority took snuff, he came boldly out, gave to the country his views and his reasons for such. Those views have been overwhelmingly sus tained by the voters of this coun try, and we believe when the time comes for the selection of a Senator, the voters of this State will consider more. the r-ecord made by Senator McLaurin, than the efforts of politicians to dis place him. William Jennings Bryan, was the acknowledged leader of the Democratic party. He advised the confirmation of the Paris treaty, and notwith standing this, because McLaurin and Bryan agreed that the Paris treaty should be confirmed, the politicians of South Carolina are endeavoring to place McLaurin in the Republican party, while they hurrahed for Bryan as the fountain source for Democratic :octrine. If McLaurin is a Re publican because he voted for the Paris treaty, then Bryan is i Republican, because he, asithe Democracy's leader advised it.
