A silent but ell'ectivo influence is at work and a wholcsomo change of ^ - sentiment is taking placc in South ~ Carolina, and it is not likely that future red-handed murderers will - ...... .... ' escape as easily or as lightly hh they havo heretofore been doing. And it is certainly time that such is the case. One cannot but stand appalled at the record of kllllugs aud the facilicity with which cold* . blooded murderers have bscaped punishment for their crimes. A half dozen or more convictious have boon had within the past few weeks, " and in ono caao a whlto man was convicted of manslaughter for kill . J. ing a negro. Our law-abiding people should do all in their power to accelerate the eense of Justino which now seems to he in the ascendency, and en deavor by all means to awaken o Sentiment that will put a stop to auch wanton and ruthless killing. i hy a proper observance of tlieir oath# Juries i:?n have a wholaome influence in this direction. ?
