FORT MILS-?. Ci SEPTEMBER*.
* 1 1 <
The Acquittal ol Far num. (
Perhaps points of law were in- i
volved in the trial of Farnum
for giving a bribe to ex-State <
Dispensary Director Wylie that ]
were unintelligible to the average i
layman and upon which there is 11
a semblance of reason for the1 ]
acquittal of Farnum, but to nine- '
ty-nine out of every hundred
people who read from day to
day the evidenee of guilt which '
the State presented against the 1
accused there is absolutely no *
doubt that there has once more
occurred in South Carolina a ^
gross miscarriage of justice that '
will add to the already deplorable 1
reputation of our Common- 1
wealth for lawlessness. If Far- <
num can go unwhipped of jus- ;1
tice in the face of the showing 1
of his guilt which the State was 1
able to make, upon what peg is ; *
there to hang the hope that the 11
other alleged grafters and 1
bribers against whom as strong '
evidence doubtless will be presented
will not escape the just
consequences of their crimes?
It is to be hoped that there are <
jjitanaub r ul l>l into ill DIULC iOr 1
the people of South Carolina in ]
that not all those who have un
doubtcdly robbed the State of ,
tens of thousands of dollars will i
be acquitted, but the discourag- 5
ing fact stares one in the face j
that since the jury refused to ,
convict Farnum, with every j
evidence of guilt standing out <
against him in unmistakable i
strength, the others will not receive
like consideration. Politics j
had much to do with the acquit- <
tal of Farnum. and politics is
ctrtain to be a factor in the
other graft trials. Of almost
equal weight against the hope of .
convictions is the mistake which (
Attorney General Lyon has made i
in the selection of his assistant <
counsel and in not taking the .
lead in presenting the cases ,
against the accused. j
<
The Cue of George Washinton Murray, j
There is something singular J
about the case of George Washington
Murray, the negro excongressmen
from the Sumter
district. In 1904 Murray was
convicted in Sumter of forging a
mortgage to a tract of land belonging
to another negro and
given a sentence of three years
in the penitentiary. His case
was appealed to the supreme
Court, which rpfnar>d fr*
with the sentence of the lower *
court. Then Murray jumped the <
$3,000 bond under which he had (
been placed pending the appeal 1
and, it seems, went to Chicago, *
where he has since been living, j
Recently he was arrested in Chi- (
cago as a fugitive from South t
Carolina justice and an officer
has been sent by Governor Ansel *
to Chicago with the necessary
requisition papers to bring Mur- \
ray back to serve the sentence, i
During the last ten days, how- c
ever, there has been some dis- *
cussion between the governor jj
and the Sumter authorities as to ?
whether the State or Sumter 1
county should bear the expense >
of bringing Murray back, the: J
governor at first refusing to al- ! c
low the State to bear the expense , a
and giving as his reason therefor j \
that Sumter county had collected ; v
. 1 AAA .
cne ^,s,uuu Dona and should stand 1
the expense. The governor has ^
given in on this point, as he
seems to have concluded that he t
was wrong. But the singular j j
feature of the case lies in the t
fact that Murray's whereabouts | J
have been known to the South [ E
Carolina authorities for at least!
a year and that during all this 11
time no efforts have been made F
o
to bring him to justice. One re- *
port has it that during the presidential
campaign last year cor- a
respondence was had between
Governor Ansel and some of
Murray's Chicago friends upon
the proposition that Murray
would make speeches to the Illinois
negroes in behalf of the
Democratic candidates if the
South Carolina prison sentence
against him were suspended.
Governor Ansel, it is said, refused
to enter such an agreement;
but no explanation is given
the public why he has for a year!
allowed Murray to remain at
large without trying to effect his
capture and imprisonment in the
State npnitontinrv If urftitW
seem that the governor should
have had Murray arrested immediately
upon learning of his
whereabouts. Of course it is by
no means certain that Murray
will be brought back to South
Carolina, as he has the means to
make a long legal fight in the
courts of Illinois against extradition
and doubtless will receive
powerful Republican assistance
in his efforts to escape justice;
but however that may be, the
people of South Carolina are entitled
to know why this delay.
If a news dispatch to a Charlotte
paper is true the people of
Chester are talking of trying to
3ust Mayor Samuels from office.
They are said to be incensed
that the mayor of their city is so
closely identified with the dispensary
grafters. Of course
there is reason to feel humiliated
>ver the revelations, but there
nay be some truth in the remark
nade by a gentleman a day or
two a&o?that the people of
Chester do not now know any:hing
more about Samuels than
:hey did when their votes made
lim mayor.
Nitiml Conference on Pellagra.
A national conference on the
ireaded disease pellagra, will bp
lield in Columbia in the early
part of November. Representatives
of seventeen States will be
in attendance. The disease,
which is the worst known to
science, is most prevalent in
South Carolina, it being estimated
that there are over one
thousand well* developed cases
within the State. Hardly a day
?oes by that there is not a report
>f a death from the disease that
is more dreaded than leprosy.
The representatives who will
attend the conference will come
from the States where the disease
is most prevalent.
Farnum Verdict Amtued Tillman.
On being asked what he
:hought of the verdict in the case
>f the State against J. S. Farnum,
Senator Tillman is quoted
is having replied:
"Nothing very much. It
las amused me to see how little
:he prosecution got out of bamfoozling
Wylie into confessing,
md it has tickled me to see how
nuch the verdict has worried
>ome people."
To King's Mountain for $1.00.
A Yorkville dispatch to the
Charlotte Observer says that
:onsiderable rivalry has developed
between the towns of Kings
Mountain and Grover, N. C.,
luring the past ten days or two
weeks relative to the transportation
of visitors to and from the
jattleground on the occasion of
:he dedication of the monument
erected by the United States
government on tnat spot in honor
)f the heroes who fell there on
October 7, 1780, and the outlook
low is that the public will profit
jy the fight of the two towns for
he advertising for their respectve
communities and the reveuue
lerived from transporting visiors.
The committee on transporiaion
originally fixed the price at
>2 for the round trip in carriages,
lurreys, buggies, etc., and at $1
n wagons from Yorkville, Clover,
ting's Mountain and Grover. The
listance from Yorkville and
Clover to the battleground is
ibout fifteen miles, while it is
1 nfiles from King's Mountain
ind 3 from Grover. King's
fountain started out about two
veeks ago by cutting prices 25
H?r cent and Grover now comes
orward with a cut of 60 per
:ent and advises the world that
he will be prepared to handle all
vho come and will charge each
'isitor $1 for the round trip in a
>uggy, surrey, carriage or auto- |
noDiie and trt) cents by ordinary
vagon fitted with spring seats.

The man is a rarity these days
of whom it can be said "there
are no flies on him," for flies are
everywhere: but twenty drops of
carbolic acid evaporated from a
shovel, says an exchange, will
quickly banish either flies or
mosquitoes from the room.
We would rather be right than
be president. All of us can be
presidents, if we but lead an upricrht
lifp nnH oam ""? onmo I
that is, those of us who put our
clothes on over our feet. Those
dear ones who are compelled by
nature and the laws of the commonwealth
to put their clothes
on over their heads, must for the
present be content to be school
ma'ams, typewriters, singers in
the choir, female sufferers, and
members of the W. C. T. U.
Now is a good time to take a
glance over your back yards and
devise some plan to ostracise the
fruit cans and rubbish which
have accumulated since the last
installment was carted off. You
can generally judge the occupants
of a house by the condition
in which the front and back
yards are kept. In a general
sense, we all pride ourselves on
being cleanly and tidy. Home
and its surroundings above all
places in the world should be
scrupulously guarded against
contaminating influences.
Did you ever think what your
ad in the newspaper is doing for
you? When you close your store
in the evening and go home to
your iamiiy ana nreside, laying?
aside all thoughts of your business,
it is then that the paper is
being poured over in hundreds of
homes?the homes from which
your trade is drawn. And there
is your ad doing its work silently,
but surely, and if you have taken
the pains to make it attractive
its work will be all the more attractive.
This is repeated over
and over again, and is no doubt
what inspired some writer to call
newspaper advertising a "silent
salesman."
The great trouble with American
youth is the lack of application
and thoroughness in what
they undertake. Anything that
cannot be learned by superficial
study is given the go-by for
something less tedious. Study
and hard labor are looked at from
a wrong standpoint; and as a
consequence the clerkship ranks
are full of unemployed young
men, and the professions are
overflowing with mediocrity,
while good merchants find plenty
of work at living prices. The
evil spoken of is seriously felt.
And those who work at a trade
do it in so loose and careless a
manner that they often are not
competent to do the work they
promised to do.
The local newspaper should be
found in every home. No child
will grow up ignorant who can
be taught to appreciate the home
paper. It is the stepping stone
of intelligence in all those matters
not to be learned in books.
Uive your children a foreign
paper which contains not one
word about any person, place or
thing which they ever saw or
perhaps ever heard of, and how
can you expect them to be interested?
But let them have the
home paper and read of persons
whom they meet, and places
with which they are familiar, and
soon an interest is awakened
which increases with every daily
arrival of the local paper. Thus
a habit of reading is formed, and
those children will read the papers
all their lives and become
intelligent men and women, a
credit to their ancestors and
strong in their knowledge of the
world as it is today.
A newspaper, if it has any
brains, conscience and muscle
back of it, must continually decide
between doing its duty and
injuring its pocket. In any
position but that of an editor,
the public is able to separate the
individual home from the collective
citizen. But if an editor
does not please them it's at his
pockets they aim. Thus it is the
newspapers learn who their
friends are. The man who reads
the newspaper and admires it all
the year around, yet gives his
business support to some other
concern, whose principles or the
actions of its editor he detests,
is not a friend to the former
newspaper. Admiration alone
will not run a newspaper. There
are too many men who expect an 1
editor to slave in defence of their j
pet notions and hobbies, avdoca- ,
tes their views against the J
strongest opposition and coolly '
withhold the business support by !
which alone a country news- j
paper can live. Talk about a
paper having a public duty to ;
perform, and an editor having
to work for his principles, is
cheap when others stand back
and extend a lukewarm neutrality.
The result is the editor may j
starve while laboring for his
principles and the cause of right
and justice which they admire
but do not support.__
