FORT MILL. R. C.. SEPTEMBER 15. 1910.
Our Awful Murder Record.
In no other civilized nation
does the annual death roll from
homicides equal or approach that
of the United States. In 1895 1
there were 2.000 killings in this
country: in 1909 the number had
increased to 10.000. This year
there are apt to he 11.000 or
12.000. and unless the country is
aroused to the fact that something
must be done to stop this
wanton destruction of human j
life the day is not far off when
20.000 will he the yearly toll of
the pistol-toter and other classes
of murderers. There is noprainsayinp:
that the country is in a
deplorable condition as a result
of the non-enforcement of the
laws aprainst murder.
We see it stated that conditions
are due to the "crass ignorance
or open dishonesty" of the jury
which fails to find a verdict of
guilt where the evidence of the
Stat? leaves no doubt. But the
real reason for all this lawlessness.
all this destruction of
human life, lies deeper than the
failure of the juries to do their
duty. It is due to the sickly
sentiment pervading the country
against holding to strict account
those who willfully kill their
fellow-men. It is no uncommon
thing to hear the remark. "Oh.
well, I don,'t think it would do
any good to punish the man; he
may be guilty of murdering bis
neighbor, but it would not restore
the life of the neighbor to
put his slayer in prison or hang
him." The natural consequence
of such sentiment is the ever
increasing thousands of widows
and orphans, many of whom are
in poverty, because the life of the
mainstay of the home has been
rt* 1 i ?
snuneo out in an evil moment.
Not long ago a homicide occurred
in York county. Little ,
sympathy was expressed for the
family that suffered the irreparable
loss of one of its members,
but there were not a few
who let it be known that they
would not punish the slayer,
"because he did not intend to
kill his victim." Truly there
seems to be an easy mode of
defining the intentions of the
person who is to be tried for his
life. The fact is, there is no
way of telling what is in one's
heart when he does to death a
fellow-creature. We are too
prone to believe he is telling the
truth when he says the killing
was unintentional. We would
better hear the evidence before
making up our minds as to
the innocence of the accused.
Mr. McNinch Hoppled.
T T -1 i
appearances are deceiving,
Candidate S. S. McNinch is
making about as much headway
in his campaign for Congress as
one would expect of a yoke of
oxen drawing a wagon leaded to
the gunwales with lead over a
rough mountain road. One of
the latest evidences that Mr. McNinch
is destined to shoot the
* chutes on election day is the
frosty reception he received at
the Republican rally held in Gastonia
Saturday. The rally had
been advertised as a soul-stirring
event which would be attended
by many hundreds of the faithful
from all points of the Ninth
district. The enthusiastic, scrambling
hundreds were conspicuous
by their absence, which is one
way of saying that they did not
show up. They are not apt to
show up on election day, either?
for Mr. McNinch. Meanwhile,
Ik
a moment can be spared to ascertain
what a news correspondent,
who says he was an unbiased onlooker
of the Gaston rally, says:
"About the only distinguishing
feature of the whole day was the
lack of any real enthusiasm. Mr.
McNinch's speech was quite a
disappointment to the crowd.
His whole address was an attempt
to show that a protective
tariff was the thing which the
South needs and that the other
desideratum is a shiD subsidv.
To an unbaised onlooker it
appeared that the big county
rally, which was intended to
start the campaign off with a
rush, fell flat. If any good for
the Republican party was accomplished
it must have been
under the surface."
The Drift Democraticward.
The Democratic party won a
great victory in Maine Monday.
For the first time since 1880 the
Republicans are unhorsed of the
governorship and have lost two
congressmen, with the certainty
of the Legislature, which will
elect a successor to Senator
Eugene Hale, being Democratic.
However much the Republican
leaders may have tried to discount
the recent special congressional
elections in Missouri,
Massachusetts and New York,
in which the Democracy won
signal victories, they are now
forced to admit the significance
of the Maine election as indicating
unmistakably the drift of
sentiment toward the Democracy.

Evidently the voters think
York county's road law needs
working over.
Too many cooks spoil the broth
nearly all the newspapers supported
Featherstone.
Our good old friend Tom Boyd n
shows that there are still a few
left in the come-back class.
The man with his ear to the
ground says he can hear something
making a noise like more

it a shame, a measly shame, to
keep Mr. Cansler out in de rain?

in politics, it would be nothing I
but fair and just in you to cor- |

circulated against Mr. McNinch
about bringing in foreign labor <
to supplant native white labor."
Certainly this paper does not
wish Mr. McNinch's chances of I
election injured by false rumors, f
There are good reasons to spare r.
why he should be defeated, with- (
