FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
One great question before the coun
try now is how to suppress anarchy |
without suppressing free speech. It i
is the boast of our republic that we
have a free press—that ail the acts of ,
government are subject to open criti- ;
eism—and that the humblest can |
write and speak his thoughts on any
subject without thv fear of law or j
punishment. Many think it would j
be far better to endure all the ills of !
anarchy than to restrict freedom of j
speech or hold every man accountable
for his words
Now a little reflection will reveal
the fact that freedom of speech has
and must have its limits. When it .
degenerates into unbounded license,
it must be checked or society suffers
an irreparable wrong. Society has
the inherent right to protect itself as
much against the vile tongue of the
slanderer us against the dagger of the
assassin, and the government that is
too scrupulous or weak to enact and
enforce laws for the preservation of
its own integrity, will fall into con
tempt and deserve to go to pieces.
When one man slanders another he
is amenable to the law and liable to
damages in the courts; when one
man threatens the life of another, or
acts in such a way as to excite in an
other the fear of bodily harm, be can
be arrested and required to give bond
for his good behavior, or in case of
his inability to give bond he can be
kept in prison until he can furnish
satisfactory evidence of his peaceable
intentions.
Such cases are not considered in
compatible with free speech and re
publican institutions How is it
then that men must be permitted
openly to acivocute doctrines that en
danger not only the peace and wel
fare. but the stability and very exis
tence of the government, which is tte
personification and embodied will of
the whole people? Let’s have ro
such cant. The government should
put down anarchy at whatever cost.

It is said that strong pressure is
being brought to bear on Col. Willie
Jones, of Columbia, to induce him to
run for governor. It is said futher
that Col. Jones has been regarded a«
the strongest contestant for McLau-
rin’s seat, but that the Colonel could
not go to the senate without great
financial sacrifices which he is un
willing to make. We do not know
what special qualifications Col. Jones
has for either the governorship or the
senatorship. He appears to be im
mensely popular with a little coterie
about Columbia, but “the wool hat
boys’’ will have to be consulted be
fore he can be elected to either of
these high positions, and the name of
“the wool hat boys’’ is legion. We
think, however, that a man who can
not accept a salary of five thousand
dollars a year, with numberless per
quisites attached, without great
financial sacrifice, had better stay
out of politics altogether, or else offer
his services gratuitously to bis adrnir
log countrymen.

A few days ago Chief Frauk Camp,
of the city police, received a letter
from the chief of police of Tryou. N.C.,
requesting him to be on the lookou*
for one Bud Sanders, a white man,
who is wanted in Tryon for a murder
committee some time ago. The letter
contained a description of ihe man
and asked that he be arrested if de
tected.
Sunday morning Chief Camp re
ceived information to the effect that
Sanders was down at the Limestone
cotton mill, where, it seems, be has
some acquaintances, and be. with
Officer Bert Hallman, immediately
went down to get him. Tdey suc
ceeded in arresting their man and he ;
was placed in jail here, and yesterday |
morning the Tryon authorities were
no’ified of the capture.
Sanders claimed he was not the j
“right man,’’ but he was identified
by some here who knew him He fit
the description given of him. though
he had shaved off his mustache
Dr. H. B. Crawley has returned from
a shor stay at Harris’ Springs He
is not regaining liis strength as fast
as his friends would like.
