Septeml?er 16th, 195J1 The ?pe<Kly trial and coutictlou of the three men In fixing ton this week and the aentenelug of them to electro cution will have a wboUVfcofnc effect on lawlessness now rampant in this Htftte'. The Juries in these ease* are due the hearty congratulation* of every right thinking man and woman in the state of South Carolina, and we wish wo had more of thein. II la hardly proba ble that Uovecuoi' Cooper will listen to any sob stuff that may be offered him In behalf of these criminals and that be will let the sentence of the court go through speedily. It begins ; t?? look like had times in store for j Criminals when juries 'begin to do their i duty, mid a strong public sentiment ' along tills line wll.'have a wholesome ! Int'luenee on Jurors. 'i i i?* people of South Carolina should not permit themselves to lie misled ami ? I Inlluoneed by the demugogu.es who arc raising a elninor about hlgli taxes for j the purpose of slipping into oltiro dur ing ilie excitement. The majority of the taxpayers have demanded better roads, better iSelmol hohses, longer terms for hcIiooIk, higher salaries for j the teachers, rural policemen and in-; mi hum other thing* that co*?t mo ney, The money for these improve ments and conveniences oen be pro vided In no other way than by InereaH ed taxation. Yuu cannot cut your cake ?<i ? and have it too. Taxea can he kept fit a minimum, but roads cannot he built and maintained, nor can we have good Idbooll on tin- game rate of taxu tion that obtained twenty yearn ago. To vote for a demagogue is to., make Hure that the money voted in taxes will he wasted, for to <put an office* seeking demagogue on the public pay roil i* the worst sort nf business. ?
