DeVore, who is con ducting Court at Spartanburg, ad vocates that criminals he electrocuted in the counties where the crime oc curred and, if thu is impossible, "we ought to go hark to hanging, so that it may he done out in the open be fore the citizens of the county.” Judge DeVore does not think that the elec tric chair in Columbia is a deterrent against crime, for the reason that people do not sec 1 men electrocuted and therefore do not fear the electric chair. "If men see their triends and neighbors executed before their own eyes for a certain crime, it will not be long before th4t crime will disappear,” said the- Judge. There is probably a great deal of truth to what Judge DeVore says. We read about a trrible tragedy hap pening in some 1 distant State and it makes only a slight impression on us. It is only when a tragedy happens or a crime i« committed near home that we fully realize the horror of it all. There is no doubt but that legal exe cutions in the county in which the crime was committed would have 1 a wholesome effect in checking crimi nal tendencies. Judge DeVore also paid his respects to the road hog and the speed maniac, declaring that a man who wilfully, wantonly and recklessly ran over an other and killed him ought- to have the same punishment as the man who shoots another down with a shotgun or hits him in the head.with an axe. (’ailing attention to the fact that 1K,- 000 people were kiled in this country last year in accidents, he declared that “no law in this country is violat ed every minute of the day and every day of the year as are traffic laws. And the Judge did not except the pro hibition law. People are becoming aroused to th<5 necessity of safe-guarding the public highways. Some means must be de vised to curbs the road hog atid the speed maniac. The People made some suggestions along this line last week, and this is one question that we hope the General Assembly will attempt to solve when it meets in January.

Easterling, of Denmark, has submitted a proposition to the Town Council and Commissioners of Public Works of Barnwell, relative to buy ing out the local power plant and fur nishing electric current to this city. We have not seen a copy of his pro position hut have been told, in sub stance, what Mr. Easterling proposes. We are in favor of any reasonable proposition whereby the people of Barnwell are assured of good .service at a low rate, but, by the same token, we are against entering into any deal just at thi^ time unless the plant can be disposed of profitably and a sub stantial decrease in tin* current ’rate fissured. The People believes that South arolina is on the threshold of vast power developments, and it would unwise to enter into any proposition until the host possible contract can he secured. We suggest that Air. Eas terling’s proposition be taken under consideration and in the meantime get in (ouch with other-power tym panies and st e which jvill do the most and best for us. Ther > really isn’t any great hurry to close th.c deal at this time. We are getting icasonahlv good service and at a rate, we are told, that compares favrrnrb’y witlT that quoted by Mr. Easter'ing.
