The editorial in The Daily[ Cecord of Monday hits the mark o the extent that we reproduce t in full. There is a crisis upon -uri people of both races, and -omething must be done to make ife less miserable, the innocent znnot be made to suffer for the .uilty, yet there lurks in this aidst a danger which must bet cet, and the question is '-What .rc we going to do about it?" The real race probtem ha.s been im -ressed on South Carolina with terr: .le vividness within the last few week.. There is the solution? What can roll .way the black menace that hovers ver every home in the southland as ang as there are such occurrences as hat near Little M1ountain the day after 'banksgiving? Men of the south .-hite and black-can you answer? Consadering all the circumstances orf his terrible crime. In connection with ther recent events, it brings home to very man the awinlness of the prob am. Here is a young negro man, for ears employed by a white farmer, a-no ttempts the nameless crime against -ne defenseless daughter of his em loyer, and meeting with mnaiueniy esistance cuts her throat with a., little Ompj'unctionl as he would kill a rabbit. -pon the discovery of the murder, the egrojoins in the hue andi cry. but .ispicion quickly attaches to him and ,znfession follow.

The Columbia State objected to the proposed conference to outline a policy| for the party , and of course thoe plan was -:nged because there 0f, s. 1:o-v~tand GOv ar:. r %leco ;a;win are to puI t their feIt under the same mz1a hoganly in New lalven. as guests Of the business Ien of that city Perhaps at that dinner the CoI onel will retract the charge he made agin Uucie --Sim" when in the campaign he charged Jud!.e Baldwin with being a reaction- 1 ary. It may be however, those Connecticut yankees are framing up a job on Teddy so that he will be forced to bet-ane the Democratic candidate for the presidency in 1912. The Cazolina Glass Company is to bring suit against the Winding-uo Dispensar- Com missioners as individuals. Why does it not also bring a suiL against the suprieme court? There should be some redress for the gentlemen whose "char acters none will care assail ex cept in a covert and - cowardly manner. The Dispensary com- C mission charged the Carolina Glass concern with overcharging. the State to the extint of thous ands of dollars. and the suDreme court contirmed the charge, so if a suit will lay against the commission, it ahould also lay against the individual judges of the supreme court. The tragic ending of the life of the child at Little Mountain is but another warning to those living in the country to not leave children at home unpro tected, for there is no telling when a tiend will come along and bring sorrow into a home. It is a dangerous practice to go2 away and leave women aud children without the protectioni of a man, especially so in the country where the section is so sparcely settled that an alarta cannot be given to neighbors How often is it that homes are left in charge of a girl or a ione woman. and bow often do we read of the horrible treatment they receive at the L.ands of a a brute. True. wnen such occurs the punishment is swift but that does not remedy the' wrong. The dater can be avoided by ther roper protection.I The congress will assenmblel for the short session next week.J an tihe present administration will have to do some iively leg isatig to meet the prblm the recent elections have mdm cated. President Taft rinds himself in an emnbarassing situ ation: the Demnocrats will not be isosed to aid him, and the - blicans are so div-ided into .e camps that he will have d time in getting through aistration measures- The :ion does not bode well for -,ry at large, and when th elm --yelected congress goes in1 au M\arch 4th, the lower House I till 'be strongly Democratic and the Senate will be Republbean,. either party will be able to do much. The rest of the presi- 1 jent's term will be taken up by I both parties playing a politic-ad ae to put each other in a hole. The State of South Carolina aas in its sinking fund a larg sumn of money and it seems to us hat thle general assembly should iscertain what is dlone with this oney. There is a bonded in iebtedness and from a business niew it would seem that it is time Eor some of these bonds to be reti red. We woa.ld suggest that committee be appointed to look h to this matter and report what s best to be done- South Caro ina is no better than other ;ates. and the temptation~ to do I: wong is with our people the!: ame'as it is with others, there fore we say, before we tind our selves in the midst of a great candal let the sinking fund :om mission of the State be au-I lited and investigated, and if it: is found that the bonds upon which we are borrow ing money to pay interest can be wiped out. it should be done. Goernor Ansel has appointed to the position of Itailroad Com missioner. Hon. .John C. Rich ards of Kershaw.
