Some Famous South Carolina Kllllna*' This thioK of takinK the life of a human being except in self-defence, during excitement jL ■ m I Pf mk or on the Held of battle, is a terrible thing and unless a man be hardened Into brutality and is utterly devoid of conscience it will haunt him to his dying day. Three times during, my career 1 have deliberately made up my mind to kill, but determined to make my antagonists first the assailants and to give them a Tali- showing, and thus my own life In Jeopardy, llul n the necessity for any such en ter had passed the feeling of re lief was Indescribable. Thousands upon thousands of use ful and brilliant lives ‘have Uieii blighted and rendered miserable by the taking of human life; and even when 1 the killing was justified In the sight of both man and hy the laws of the land, the curse of Cain followed the slayer his entire days. My father, I think, was with the Hon. Wm. L Yancey, the great Se cession leader, when lie killed Dr Earle, of Greenville. They were boys together, were warm friends, and 1 have often heard my father speak ot the circumstance. Yancey killed Earle as the latter was advancing up on him with an upraised walkltiK cane, and wheiitbe fatal shot was tired. JustbefOTe the beginning of the late war between the Status my father and Mr. Yancey jnet in Mont gomery, Ala. Mr. Yancey, In discus IMng the tragedv, stated that he had no intention of shooting Dr.’Earle, but the encounter took place In the piazza of the posUittlee, an old wooden building opposite the Mansion Mouse in Greenville, and which piazza had no mMlUttgrbeing several feet—from the ground. Dr. Earle attacked Mr. Yan cey because be had slapped the face oi bis little son, Elias, there being uo very kind feelings between the tw< men. Dr. Earle raised his caue and advanced on Mr. Yancey, who drew his pistol, presented it and retreated backward. Mr. Yancey stated that he had no intention of shooting tfife Doe' tor, but wanted to intimidate him. 4o stepping backward be fell that he hall reached the exteeme end of the x piazza aufl, in order to prevent falling off, bad inadvertently pressed the trigger. But, this great Southern statesman told my father, h« would freely give fame, fortuite and all he possessed and again start liTe 41 poor, Ignorant and obscure man, could he, by ao doing, only wipe that blood frohe his hands; that often, In the midst ot his most brilliant orations, would set the figure uf Dr. Earle, as he appeared with that upraised cane, and when the tragedy was enacted, rise before him. It haunted him day and night, and while he was justified in the killing| and the sentence Imposed by the law was light, his life was unending re morse and self-reproach.' Years after the killing, When Mr. Yancey returned to visit his mother-in-law, Mrs. Earle, In Greenville and Elias had grown to manhood, the young man, who had In nocently caused the death ot his father appeared before the gate with shot gun in hand and asked to Col. Yan cey. Yancey from behind the doseo door, told Elias to go away and he would return to Al&tMTmaand not visit Greenville again; that he had more of the Earle blood tben^ upon his hands than he could ever wash away ami did not want any more. This visit would probably have resulted fatally had.not the old lady, who like all of the Earles, was as brave as a lion, seized a shotgun and told Elias that he must go away and not further molest her guest, and that If he attempted any vlolence towards Yancey he must first fire through her. The next day Mr. Yancey left for Alabama and dtd not^ return again, 1 think, to South Caro lina until as a delegate to the Charles ton Convention. — If the killing of a human being can be made justifiable It was that of By num by Perry.' Bynum was a noted duelist and had been employed to pro voke Perry into a tight and take his life. The two men represented ex- treme factinn8 tn-sc*trrn^ tics, and which were as bitter as in the days of Tillmauism and conservat ism. Bynum was an expert with the pistol, and had killed, so 1 am told, more than one man. On the other hand, Perry bad but little if any prac tioe with that weapon, being a man ol peace, but undoubted courage. -But Perry’s steady nerve and cool head proved superior to the skill of his an JtagODist, who was killed at the first -fire, and his grave is still pointed out at the old historic Uock Church, near Clemson College. But eveu the knowledge that this duel had been forced upon him, and that his money was given an equal, if not better, showing for his.life, could never wipe the red stain from the tender con science of Governor Perry. Due of his sons told me he never heard the SUbJeet mentioned but once in his father’s presence, when his face grew deathly pale, he raised hi^. baud, and stated that be never again wauti hear that duel spoken of by any iuem her of hit family. That the borrow of Uxat tragedy, committed on a little Island in the Savannah Kiver, haunted this great and good man all his days, not doubled, and it cast a dark cloud i and use 1 u 1 life. I have koQwn a great many men who had taken humau life, under ail manner of circumstances, and with out a single exception thef -wure the brand of Gain upon their There was 00 pleasure or happiness in life tor him. Their existence was one long feign of remorse and self-re proach, and If they dtak not manifest Mune by word of mouth, it could WM in the restless eye, and ner- rtiag at every unusual noise.— 1 to drink, 0 their faces.- The brand of Cain was fixed U(wn the brows of those shed- ders of human blood by Divine venge ance, and only death could erase. lt. - I remember, while living in Ogle- ttirupe county,. Ga.. talking with a young friend of mine who had gone with a party to chastise a negro for a reported Insult to a white woman. This young man was stationed at a window, through which the negro en deavored to escape. He fired on the man and shot him dead, his body hanging over the sill. This young man, and who was a successful mer chant, stated to mo that he afterwards discovered that he had killed an In- nocent and slandered man, and the party who had made up that story was enraged against the negro be cause he intended to leave his farm and he wanted to have him chastised. But my young friend stated to me bis entire existence of misery and re morse; that the sight of poor the negro haunted him all day long was a con stant nightmare. Freely would he give up ail hejxtssessed, ibd become a convict In stripes, to have.that’ stain washed fn m his conscience.—11^, often felt that did he possess the wealth of the. world he would freely give it for even one day’s relief from the agony pf mind that pursued ,uul that he 1 might experience the feeling of innocence he knew before that wretched nig lit. * - Were this globe of oufs coined Into gold, and placed at my disposal to take the life of the most debased and miserable human being that walks the t^arth, even under the most Justifiable circumstances, I would scorn the bride. Unless a man. as 1 have stated, has a heart seared with sin, and JsJncap- abie of feeling remorse, 1 stnneUraes think It would be an act of mercy anl kindness for the laws of his country to put Him to death, after willfully and deliberately taking the life of a fel-, low man. Ar-yflry- may acquit him. and he may live a long, applauded'AURl honored- by the world, but there’ t>oats In his breast ah inner monitor, and which will ever keej) him remind ed of that dark deed. His entire ex? istence will be one prolonged agony and there will ever walk by iris side in day and repose upon hjs pillow at night, an unseen spectre- of the dead man, and from which terrible and constant visitor there is no escape. The murderer is reminded of the fate that awaits him by the Bible and which I’ponnands that “He whtwiheds man's blood by man Shairhts Wood be shed." - ^ I admit that there are occasions when it becomes Imperatively neces sary to take human life, but my great est hope and desire, is that no such dread alternative shall ever be forced upon myself. 1 had sooner go to the grave the victim of another, than spend my days on earth wKh hands dripping witli the life Wood of anyone created In God’s own Image. ■^-Ijife is sweet, but It is anything but .sweet-tp the red-handed murderer.

' Since thd days of Solomon It has ever been true that the buyer la a “beary” for today, as then, “naught, naught, saitb tbe buyer,” has been the cry of the man who seeks to force down the price of that which he de sires tp purchase; but it would seem that it has been left for tl^s day and generation to produce a seller wno joins In with the buyer and seeks to depress the value of his own goods. The south is tbe great seller of cotton to the world, and In these daya.it seems to take delight Jn letting the buyer of Its oottoa not only fix the price, but even Joins in with the buyer In helping to create the im pression that the “bull” on cotton is a dangerous an!goal, ‘while the'^bear” n« IM only truly good animal in the menagerie. ■ H Is to be expected that the great cotton manufacturers of Europe and New England should unite their forces In beating down the prioe of cotton; we are not surprised at their efforts to create the Impressionthat the man who seeks to ad vance the price of cotton is a conscienceless gambler who deserves to be executed by all right-thinking people; we are not surprised that they hold him up as the enemy of man kind in forcing the closing of mills and the stopping of employment for thousands of hands. But it is a little surprising that the south so complac ently accepts these teachings, and that southern people give heed to them as though they were the honest con victions of sincere men. , On the oth er hand, the “hear,” the man who IjvrsOTrttrer sufferings entailed upon the millions of cotton producers by forcing chmo-the price of cotton, is held up as a great benefactor. . Even let it be granted that both be gam blers, yet the bull is a power helping to secure for the producers a fairer price than he has had for many years, and to that extent at least he is doing great good to the south; while the bear’s work results In keeping 1 the cotton grower pour for the benefit of the manufacturers of north. "7*. .... At the recent meeting of the New England Cotton Manufacturer's Asso ciation, the president Md i~ number of other speakers bitterly denounced the efforts of the boll leaders which brought about The "‘higher prices of cotton, and the president expressed the hupe^ that the time would soon come when other countries would grow enough cotton to make the world moreTndependent of -th^south as its chief source of supply. Here was the president of a great American business body expressing the hope that the south might lose Its monop oly on cotton by the development of cotton growtpg elsewhere, and against such unpatriotic|entlment, prompted ^>nly by his desire that lo this way the of raw cotton might be. forced do'wnT>Qa lower level, I have not seen a single word qf protest in papers and Very little In southern.

Let the south) for five or six years get 10 cents for its cotton and on farm and in factory, in village and in city, there would be unbounded prosperity. The farmer and the farm laborer would no longer be forced to econo-' mlze as during tbe last ten years of low prices. 'The manufacturer of cot ton goods as well as of all other goods would find a better market for bis wares; the hanker and the merchant would be more prosperous, tbe tide of immigration which always, by some natural law, seeks a country which is prospering, would be turned this way and new population and new cap ital would be poured Into the south as they were into^thegreat west twen ty-five years ago when that section become the center of activity for the surplus energy and capital of Europe and America. Then let tbe south cease to join hands with those whose Interests make them selfishly ' cry down the price of cotton, who seek to raise a great bugaboo of the few bales of cotton which the English and the continental spinners succeed In pro ducing In their futile efforts to force cotton growing in other countries, and let the south, by proper handliog and marketing, compel tbe buyer to seek the cotton at a fair price rather than that we-should beg blm to take our great staple at any price which suits his good pleasure. This is not visionary. Ills plain, common sense and eventually tbe soulb«will cease to be frightened at the cry of over-production when there Is no overproduction, and at,tbe el aborate press dispatches and govern ment reports put out every time some foreign organization resolves to try to raise more cotton in the heart of Af rica. After a while it may cease to pay attention «ven to the , utterances of a member of the -cabinet who, in an entirely unjustified Interview, at tempts, as Secretary Wilson lately did, to breafc down the pride of cot ton R was possible to give even a forecast 0/ the chances "of the new crop. I have never bought, sold or raised Europe and the pi bale of cotton in my life except once, and that was many years ago, und so 1 have no personal Interest to serve, as have many of the so-called authorities who constantly put forth their predictions as to the future ot prices. - -- My own business interests bring me in touch with manufacturers more than .with the farmers, but that does not make me believe, as many manu facturers do, that low prices are bene ficial to the’ south. —By Richard H.

On tbe other hand an advance of even i’cent a pound in the raw staple would mean an additional profit to the growere and thus to the south of $50,? 000.000 to 160,000,000, which would several times over offset the decline in mill earnings For the last ten years we have be come so accustomed to low prices for cotton that we are apt to forget that for nearly a hundred years the world took our cotton at an average of near lyiOoenta a pound.

EACH GAME A Little Book That {faery Bey Should Read and Hiudy. Geo A Wagener, Pres. Geo Y Ooleman. Vice Pres. Coleman-Wagener Hardware Company, / Successor to C. P. Poppenbeim, 363 KING STREET, * * - * * CHARLHjgTON, S 0 "THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION to the efforts of those we know, whose personalities and Individuality have become familiar from everyday asso ciation, whom we know to be men or women of flesh and blood, perfectly human like ourselves, that favorable consideration we are inclined tc give tp tbe efforts of thbse who are only known to us by those efforts, those, products of their higher self and purer skill. Despite this we cannot but commend, praise and endorse the re sult of Prof. John G. Cllnkscales’ re cent literary efforts entitled “How Zacb Came to-College,” the pbrusal of which has proven a pleasure Indeed, and a source of edification, the real ex tent of'which was not fully expected. The story Is by a Spartanburg man, and It deals with people whom we we every day with a time mlany of us can remember; Is Is redolent with local coloring; and abovez all it Is true to facts and nature and yet contains that effusion and poetic construction that Is the stcry teller’s art. 1 It tells of a big, gruff, rough naoun-" talneer, catching Inspiration from a chance glance at a Wofford commence ment and determining on a college ca- Teer. He declared that he would “speak up that one o’ these days,” and true enough he did, though to breach the chasm between him and the com mencement rostrum, he was compell ed to perforin most arduous agricultu ral tasks by day, and by the light of the moon to search for the cunning “ ’possum” the evasive coon and the honeyed, “bee tree.” -Above all he had to forego his marriage; and'i*# he climbed the intellectual summit, he had to dike his untutored bethrothed along with him so that she would be capable of understanding and enjoy ing with him his mental advance ment. He persued his course despite the fact that enlightenment caused him to see more clearly the fahILs of his neighbors; and having that rugg -d honesty bred into him by his good old mother and his beloved IB ble t he opposed some of these faults and had troubles. ' _ 7 The'local evil- he combatted most was the clandestine manufacture of spirits away from the guiding hand oT Uncle Sam. In intellect and physi que he reigfted among his mountain companions. He dethroned by his eloquence the demagogic politician and during his last year at college “pulled down” the strongest man-ajf the county, and wound up by thrash ing the recognized “bqUy” of Uuther- fordton G>unty.- He at last spoke from “up tbar” and was loudly ap plauded for his eloquence. He mar ried his first love and settled down and became a Baptist mtet&er. It is a good story well told?
