Smith has been successful in his‘.race for the legislature from Colleton county. He is a most ex cellent gentleman and will make a fine representative. He was hi the legislature for one or two terms here tofore, and served his people faith fully. We congratulate the people of Colleton county on returning him to the legislature.—The (Newberry) Herald and News. the law in a milder form. He convicted of illicit whidcey-selling and made to serve a short term on the chaingang. But the experience did not suffice as a warning. He be came bitter against constituted au thority. and desperate when in dan- j ger of arrest. With well-to-do and j inffuential relatives, and in a coun try where it is easy to make an hon- j est living, he chose to continue the occupation of blind-tigering in its 1 meanest form. And he continued it 4 when expecting conflict with tHe law. j When arrest seemed imminent Mes- { survey killed two men, the younger of whom was just twdee his age, the older four score and over. Even; after that horribly bloody work, the ( (llicit whiskey-dealer was intent up on saving the alcohol from seizure, and buried it. What is the end of it all? After 5*cars of dedging, sneaking, dirty work, he becomes a convict, doomed j to t venty years’ servitude. Perhaps thes ain of murder noes not hu» t’ him, but the condition of the wile and chdil must touch deeply. And all for what? Ju^t to make a few‘ dollars dishonestly; just to avoid! honest work; to do .something crook ed because it seemed easy. Was it worth while? Would it have been worth w hile had there been no trag edy? Is it ever worth while? Are there any that envy those who make piles of dishonest dollars out of the dispensary and. if they have not al ready heard the rap of the sheriff’s deputy upon their door, have been for years dreading the expected? What would not those give for a clean record? Does it pay to be crooked?—The Columbia State.

Address WOODWARffLUMBER CO . AUGUSTA. GA. .NOTICE. Headache "WOULD DO IT AGAIN.” During his trial in Walterboro, J. W. Mesaervey, who was being tried for the murder.of a constable who was after him for having contraband liquor in his possession, declared doggedly, that he was justifiable in the killing and would do it again. The judge has given him twenty years in the^penitentiary to think over it. Messervey was probably arguing from the established basis of meting out justice in the state when he said that he would do it over again.* After a few years re flection inithe pen, with twenty hanging over him, he might change his mind. While men who take their brother’s lives in thin country are usually discharged it is not alto gether a safe thing to do, some ju ries have peculiar ideas about their conscientious duty, and occasionally they find a find a fellow guilty who counts on being let off. —Florence Dally Times.
