THURSDAY. DECEMBER 5. 1912.
The Times could say a good
deal about the insecurity of human
life in the community which
allows murderers to escape the
just consequences of their crime,
but if twelve men, supposed to
be good citizens, have no more
conceptiori of their duty to society
than to allow a man-killer,
whose crime is fortified by
neither justice nor excuse, to
walk from the court house free
of the charge, it would seem that
nothing is to be gained by berating
them. If our citizens are
content to allow justice to be
trampled under foot and our
courts to be despised and become
the butt of ridiculn, they are
sowing a whirlwind which they
themselves or their posterity will
one day reap. No man should
" ? -i /? /
be excused for taking tne me 01
his fellow-man unless he can
show beyond doubt that his act
was necessary to preserve his
own life or the life of some one
else whose duty it was his to
protect. The maudlin sentiment
which often influences our South
Carolina juries to mete out mercy
where justice is demanded is not
in the interest of the security of
life or the promotion of civilization.
The Yorkville Enquirer seems
to be in a particularly good
humor over the election to the
State Senate of John L. McLaurin
from Marlboro county. However,
the joy of The Enquire!
over the fortune of its friend is
not Strang?, when it is recalled
that among the few newspapers
of the State which stood by him
m the days he was trying tc.
wreck the Democratic party of
South Carolina The Enquirer
wras perhaps the most influential.
If we had any respect for the
man's sincerity of purpose, we
would applaud his wi lirigness to
serve the Commonwealth in a
position so vastly less important
than the position he formerly
held as United States Senator,
but there is nothing in the career
of John L. McLaurin to commend
him. We are confident that had
he been a resident of York county
instead of Marlboro county he
could not have been elected to
the State Senate.
The Charlotte Observer thinks
that the time is at hand when
the greatness of Senator Tillman
must be admitted by all. Hardly.
There are a good many people
who will not agree that Senator
Tillman is a great man and it
would be too much to say these
people are not as honest in their
opinion of him as those who
think otherwise. Senator Tillman
has made South Carolina
and the nation at large a useful
official, but it remains to be seen
whether history will accord him
a place among the country's
great men. One thing which is
disquieting to the friends of the
senator in this connection is that
he is so infrequently quoted as
an authority on governmental
affairs. Speaking of great men,
it cannot be said that the country
is overrun with them, anyway.
We do not believe that there are
in the United States Senate today
six men whose deeds or
utterances will be associated
with greatness fifty years hence.
The man who goes round telling
everyone he meets of his
hard luck and bemoaning tlie
bad business winch lie has encountered
need never expect
anything better.
T
We noticed in an exchange the
)ther day a statement to the
effect that the merchant who
advertises, and the farmer who
looks for bargains, will be the
persons to profit mostly by the
parcels post. This is just about
the size 6f it, too, The Progressive
Farmer says the enterprising,
wide-awake merchant
in the small city, or even the
country town, need not lose
trade to the big mail-order establishments.
If he will only
let his customers know that he
can supply their wants as quickly
he too is willing to do a mailorder
business, he will profit by
the parcels post as much as any
one, not even excepting the
farmer.
The last day of the present
month will mark the closing of
the most successful year for
business that this country has
seen for a long time. Crops all
over the nation have been above
the average, business is booming
on a solid basis and collections
are good. While South Carolina,
as a State, has not had the best
of crops this year, the country as
a whole is in the midst of the
most universal prosperity im
a^iuauic.

cordial invitation for you to become

notify you that your neighbor or
friend is probably tired of furnishing
you with reading matter
and would rather you would get
a paper of your own.

Finally Mr. Windie concluded by "winning
