OIVKTHKM A CH ANCE.
This paper has been censured by
some, as either wanting in enter
prise or deficient in courage, because
we did not pander to a morbid crav
ing for senational news, and publish
an account of some transactions very
damaging to the characters of those
Involved. Such censure would not
get any notice from us did it not
furnish an occasion for some re
marks on a subject of practical, and
to a great many, of vital interest.
To know exactly just how much
forbearance to exercise towards our
erring fellow mortals—just how
much to give to justice and how
much to charity—is one of the most
difficult problems of socia morality.
The danger always is that in our
blind selfishness and innate love for
sensational scandals we shall ignore
thu sacred ness of character and err
on the side of reckless severity.
Newspapers of the Brann type which
from an eager desire to fill their col
umns with startling news, invade
the sacred precincts of private life
and character, and lay bare to the
vulgar gaze the errors of youth and
inexperience, and gloat over the dis
grace and misery that they inflict
without any regard to the public
good, are all only so many vile
slanderers that poison the channels
of society and that like blue-bottle
flies iive.on the putrefaction which
has been caused by their own partu
ritions.
It is the right and duty of a news
paper to publish the lawless deeds of
hardened criminals and to expose
the dishonesty of men in positions of
public trust, and to do both faith
fully and fearlessly. A professional
criminal is an avowed enemy to so
ciety, and a dishonest public officer
is a traitor to the best interests of
the country, and forbearance or
charily to either would be injury and
injustice to the whole body of society.
But no such motive can be urged
for the exposure of those occasional
mis-steps taken by the young and
inexperienced and often under the
pressure of the strongest temptations.
On the other hand every generous
impulse prompts us to throw around
tlu-m the mantle of silence and of
charity. Our young men and women
are the hope and pride of the country
and they need encouragement more
than censure, kindly forbearance
than injudicious severity,
“the years that bring the
|phic mind” all before them,
no .warning lights gleaming
along the path of experience behind
them,with rose-colored opportunities
and fanciful possibilities all around
them, while their hearts within them
are leaping with the wild impulses of
youth and hope; ambitious to dare,
and powerless to restrain the im
petuosity “of passion’s hosts that
never brooked control'’—what wonder
that they often go astray! What
wonder that they often do things
that bring grief and shame to the
hearts of loving parents, and the
memory of which will brood like
some shapeless shadow over their
own hearts through all the years of
future life!
There are thousands of noble men
and women in this great country to
day, whose lives are dispensing wide
blessings on humanity, and whose
influences are sweetening and purify
ing the social and moral atmosphere
around them and imparting nobler
impulses to many weak and fainting
hearts, who did not pass unscathed
through the fiery period of youth.
There was a time—perhaps many
limes—when only kindly forbearance
and tender sympathy imparted new
strength to their fainting hearts and
kindled new aspirations in their des
pairing souls. At such times, a cold,
ucsympal^zing rebuke, a capricious
social ostracism, a few heartless
words uttered by cruel tongues, a
few glaring headlines in a newspaper,
would have stifled forever, every
hope and aspiration of their hearts
and shed blight and mildew over
their whole lives.
There are others to-day in the
depths of degrudation and infamy,
lost to every claim of manhood, long
since deal to the tender appeals of
affection and thu pleasing impulses
of hope, whose lives might have
beamed with the steady radiance of
honor and usefulness but for the
wanton cruelty of their fellow men.
Give the boys and girls a chance,
their inexperience, their physical
more
.With
and mental conditions, their glowing
hopes and ardent ufTcctions, all ap
peal strongly to every generous
emotion of the human heart. Bo
patient with their follies, condone us
far us possible their more llagrunfcer
rors, deal kindly and forbeuringly
with their impulsive truant [natures,
for in the upheaval and turmoil of
their impulses and passions there are
elements which need only the warmth
and sunshine of human sympathy
and encouragement to develop into
forces that will mould high charac
ter and open up a wide and honora
ble highway to usefulness and happi
ness.
Nor are they the only ones who are
entitled to kindly consideration.
There are many fathers and mothers
whoso consecrated, self-sucraficing
lives appeal silently but strongly to
the world for kind and generous
treatment of their children. In all
sacred and profane history there is
not, to us, u more touching incident
recorded, than thatinterview between
the king of Israel and the commander
of his army which was about to
march to battle against a wild rebel
lious son, and during which inter
view the king in the true spirit of a
father delivered that tender injunc
tion : “Deal gently with the young
man, for my sake.”
Alas! the hardened old warrior dis
regarded the injunction, and ulus! to
day, the hardened old world is prone
to disregard the injunctions of a
parent’s love, and often unwittingly
hurls its most cruel darts into the
bosoms of parents while it is with
holding kind and generous considera
tion from their children.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
out the clofts than with them, while
all agree that they are not worth half
the price paid for them. We hope
that our people will sometime open
their eyes to the frauds and humbugs
that are being practiced in the name
of education. Wo can hardly ex
pect so desirable a consummation,
however, until some one shall come
round with a traveling apparatus on
wheels run by a portable steam en
gine and undertake to educate chil
dren by steam and kill a few of them
by a boiler explosion. There is a
rage for mechanical clap-trap in
teaching and learning, while mind
and heart are and always will re
main beyond the domain of machin
ery.
NAVAL CADET.
That shooting of seven negroes
charged with setting lire to the little
town of Palmetto, near Atlanta, was
us cruel, cowardly, and savage an act
us ever disgraced the annuls of any
country; but as long as the Lake
City and Phoenix, murders in this
State remain unavenged we have
no surplus indignation to spend on
murders in Georgia. Governor Can
dler is acting with vigor and we can
only indulge the faint hope that the
murderers will be caught and pun
ished.

The Tolberts are returning to their
homes in accordance with the terms
of Governor Ellerbe’s proclamation.
It is to be hoped that fur the honor
of the State and for the supremacy
of law, the people of Greenwood and
Abbeville will not further molest
them. The people have now had
ample time for cool reflection and
they must know that whatever in
fluence the Tolberts may have hud in
the past,Is destroyed, and that they
are incapable of stirring up any more
mischief, even if the experience
through which they have passed has
not had a wholesome (fleet upon
their morals.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
And now just as wc have got our
deep well bored over five hundred
feet through solid rock and the
clear sparkling water Is spouting out
at the top singing an imaginary song
of health, luxury, ami happiness,
here comes an old German s it ntist,
Dr. Hans Koeppe, and writes a
learned essay proving that chemically
pure water is an active protoplasmic
poison. The astounding assertion
gathers additional terror from the
name of the paper in which the essay
is published, the “Deutsche Medi-
cinische Wischenschrift.” What in
the world is to become of us? The
discovery is bad enough, but the
names are enough to make the hair
stand on ends and the bravest heart
to palpitate with alarm.

That half bushel of rats and mice,
which Citizen Josh Ashley declares
he saw fished out of one of the
whisky vats in the bottling establish
ment in Columbia, must, have im
parted a delicately sickening ilavor
to the after-taste of some of our
habitual users of the “chemically
pure.” We have noticed one or two
of them of late remarkably cool in
appearance and sedate in manners,
looking as if t bey were engaged in
far-away thoughts or in dream-like
reveries inspired by a slight distur
bance of the under current of senti
mental emotions. vVhisky has fine
anti-septic properties, and by ex
tracting the active juices it no doubt
preserved the rats to perfection ; but
what effect the extract will have on
the human stomach is another ques
tion. However, the stomachs of
•omo men are not over-fastidious,
and Commissioner Vance’s promise
to keep the rats and bugs out of the
vats, is somewjiat assuring and en
couraging.

The fact has developed that during
the past year enormous sums of the
free school funds have been invested
in some sort of worthless school
charts at ijUT.oO apiece. In some
counties, it is said, us much as the
U-mill school tax has been spent on
such trumpery, and us a consequence
the school term has necessarily been
greatly curtailed. The people blame
ex-Superintendent Mayfield and he
blames the truetees. So there it is,
