AI n I as to the ?11 lit ot' the men. there seems little room for doubt if the press reports of the eoufessions made by all of them are to be>erodited. The sheriff of la'X inflton eoiinty is to he eommend ed for his aetioii in rushing two of 1 he aeeilsed to the jail ill S.i \aiinah to save South Carolina the disgrace of a lynehinjr. Had he heen ronton! to try to hold the prisoners in the Lexington jail, hotli would have heen put to death hy the moh wliieh luid formed for that purpose. We have in South Carolina eonrts iho people have established to try men aeeused of murder, and mi less we are 1?> revert to a state of semi-eivili/.al ion we eaunot afford to ilenriv.' the ..I' their right to function in such cases. in this particular case. 1 li?t?? isn't one chance in n thousand of a miscarriage nl' justice. If tin* men accused of tlir murder c?f William Bra/.ell :uv guilty, they will pay for tin* (Time with tlit*ir lives. There is an ureasional instance in South Carolina of men charged with capital offcnscs escaping the punishment their guilt merits, hut hy ami large this State is ahnut as free of that sort of thing as most States in the I'nion. A meeting of the joint committee on printing of the (leneral Assembly of South Carolina will I)(S lleliI on August '_M? to award contracts for puhlie printing. The constitution of South Carolina says that the puhlie printing; must be done hy contract. Somebody who was not disinterested Inul tlint provision put in tin* constitution ami it is 11i>rli time it was taken out.

Small must lit- a luaii of sluggish mentality. He might have known from the day Hie v arrant lor his arrest was sworn out that eventually lie would have to meet it and that his dodging about from plaee to plaee in the Stat?' would serve no la tter purpose than to erenle tin- impression in the minds of most people that lie is guilty of the erime with wliieh lie is ehal'ged. Small teay never he eouvieted. Indeed, it is unfortunately a little more tl.an possible that lie may never be tried, but regardless of that, his reputation is gone and for the i ' \ / ' / % V remainder of his term the governorship will neither honor him nor will he honof it. There is such a thing as a man outliving his day of usefulness, and Small l as outlived his. However, he is pui the first man Illinois has c'osen in recent years lor high otlice who has been a disappoint 11.?nt. ami as misery likes company Small will perhaps find | comfort in the thought that i former I'nitrd States Scnati r Lorinier also came to grief aft* r i _ ^ lining sworn in as a member of ?j "the most august body on earth."
