' Some of otir contemporaries con
tinue tq uke the term “murder" in
speaking of a homicide. It is bur
idea that a killing is a homicide un
til it is proven othe^wse. The courts,
in South Carolina very rarely sustain
any one in calling a homicide a mur
der, because there are very rare con
victions. What you may thing looks
lik a murder, will doubtless look
different to the jury. Anyway, a
person is presumed to be innocent
-until proven guilty. And we South
Carolinians are^jot very strong be
lievers in proving anybody guilty of
ipurder.—Bamberg Herald.
But is it not a fact that when the
accused is arrested for a homicide the
warrant charges “murder” and if the
Grand Jury finds a true bill the in
dictment also charges “murder?”
The Herald is right, however, in
pointing out that th<^ unfortunate
‘tragedies that occur too frequently
should lie referred to as homicides.
The Letter '“E."
The opinion has been advanced that
the letter “e" is the most unfortunate
letter in the English alphabet, because
it is always out of cash, forever in
debt, never out of danger and in hell
all the time. It Is fortunate in that it
is never in war and always in peace.
It is the beginning of esistence. the
commenrement of ease and the end of
trouble. Without it there wonM he
no meat, no life and 'ho heart*n. It ia
the center of honesty and makes love
perfect. It also starts off in error,
ami printing, publishing, typography
and lithography ran get along without
it, although it is necessary in electro
typing, engraving any typefounding.
It is the beginning and end of editorial
existence.—American Printer.
Furthermore, it takes its place in
heaven, is the end of life and the be
ginning of eternity, and *it makes
Barnwell possible.
“Head the < stuma?"
The People seconds the following
suggestion from The State:
“Resolved, That the Democrats
of club (ward or town
ship! indorse the administration of
Woodrow Wilson and instruct their
delegates to the county convention
to vote for delegates ip favor of his
renomination.” C
A brief resolution ofL^about that
tenor would lie adopted, we suppose,
without opposition in every Demo
cratic club of South ('arolina if it
should l>e introduceik
Let it lie introduced. Let South
Carolina take the foremost place in
the Wilson column!

Old Aiken doesn’s find it necessary to

article or two of the feminine varie

poetic effusions.-^-Aiken Standard.
