A Spartauburg jury has convicted a
ptominont young white man of murder,
wilh a recocueodation to meroy. Per
haps there may s ill be a county in
South Caro'lna in which murder is a
crime.

It can scarcely bo a joy to Mr. Roose
velt to know that by a large number of
bis countrymen he Is the best hated
pres'dont since the period immediately
f allowing the 'Aar Between the States.
Net Hayes, Gsrtleld, Arthur, Harilson
or McKinley were personally dosplsed
in the South but the South has b en
driven to bitter dislike of Roosevelt.
?
Gambling is becoming an uncoinfort
able habit in the town in which The
Columbia State is published. The re
tiring, even bashful natures of the Col
umbia sports have been severely
wcuaded by recent publicity. There is
no police force equal to a newpaper
that is not timorous.

If the legislature negleots to enact
l\ws Bafo-guarding the primaries, the
tlmo will soon corn's when rich men
will bo able to buy themselves into of
fice and the poor man who retains his
honesty and self-respect will be practi
cally disabled from taking other than
tbo humblost part in party politics?
just becauso he is poor. The time has
already come when the very poor man
has little chance in South Carolina
politics.

Some member of the general assem
bly has tho opportunity to confer a
Listing benefit upon the people by In
troducing and engineering to pasaage
a ruarriage license measure. The or
dinary formalities necessary to con
summating the marriage contract in
other Slates would prevent many hur
ried and consequently unhappy alli
ances in South Carolina if they were
reeiuired by the laws.
*
A Matter of Record.
Considerable adverse criticism has
been caused by a let;er of Senator Till
man on the negro question and, yet
strange to remark, the expressions of
tbo senator arc rather more temperate
than those in which ho usually in-1
Uulges The Sonator appears to have
been unfortunate in hie text, the
Statesboro horror, and if Iiis letfer had
been bottomed upon a less brutal
lynching affair it is likely that it would
have occasioned little sharp comment,
however untenable may be some of his
positions.
Meanwhile the question of the sena
tor's reputation for personal courage
has been discussed, introduced by the
Richmond Nows-Leader and ventilated
by tho News and Courier, the latter
paper holding that he is undoubtedly a
man of brabory. Tho Advertiser sug
gests thad a referonce to a published
correspondence which took place be
tweon Tillman and a now deceased
gentleman and Kx-Confederate soldier,
? f Union, printed in the nowspapera
in about 1800, possib'y 1892, settled this
question once for all. A man's courage,
like a woman's honor is not permitted
to lapso. Between tho gentleman re
ferred to snd Tillman an issuo was clean
Jyde lined and whether or notB. R. Till
man is a man of spirit was once for all
as shirply determined as need be to
i1? j discriminating In such things.
1*. o<inwhilo whother Tillman Is cour
ageous or not is of little consequence.
Heisa vote-getter soflioient for bis
own purposes and what matters it to
Tillman if ha get the votes and the sal
ary?

The Station Ranger.
If the union station at Columbia
wore so placed that passengers would
ho oompolled to leave trains on the
n juth side, off from the city proper,
we think a howl would go up.
If in Greenville all carriages and
h?cks wero compelled to cross the
. .o.i'horn's tracks at the Washington
street station and then cross back,
wouldn't Chore be a howl?
If In Spartanburg passengers left
the trains on the side of the tracks
next to the Spartan mills instead of on
tho city sldo, how mighty would the
howl be?
So far as wo know, Laurens is the
one town in South Carolina where all
vehicles meeting trains must twice
n" SB a net-work of tracks, to the im
minent p.'rllof the public. Moreover at
ibis Laurens station, they must ap
proach this not-work of tracks from a
hillside. Tho space in which the vehi
cles must wait is such, that every day it
is crowded. There is scarcely room
enough for comfortable turning. We
ropoat that not in South Carolina is
thoro another town in which such a
disgraceful and dangerous condition is
allowed to exist. 'Ihero is nothing
similar to it In South Carolina. If the
railway commission has no power to
r bate a flagrant, self-evident and ever
present nuisance and source of peril to
' ?/o, limb and property, then the rail
wi.y commission is a ridiculous piece of
expenslvo dead wood itself. We can
see how the commission may have dif ?
limit;' in adjusting rates to suit the
public. We cannot soe how It oan fail
to protoct the people against actual
and certain danger to life.
The railway officials and the commis
sion are to meet the people here on the
?
?Wh. ot October. The p sltlon of the
people 1? (hit the nnDance and the
danger most be removed, regardless of
cost. It w re bot*er to insist that the
p<8?enger station be located at sc me
point half a mile from Its present bas?,
that it be re- orated, than that the ox
*i1 ting danger remain.
The argument that certain citizens,
whoso identity by the way Is soarce'y
established, consented to the present
location is no arg ment. Tho fact is
tlat if Ho town had in the most
mm miii wii seieo'ed this location, it
would none tho loss be ? public duty in
the f-eo of a grave danger to correct
it.
Let it be understood that the people
of Laurens will ne\ er give up this fight,
no matter what action or non-act on
m?y be taken now, until they are given
a s'ation at which they may leave the
cars *-"hout the peril of being ground
! to f indor the wheels.
?ors and the Yanquislicd.
Hark . jin the polls a doleful sound,
Mine ear attend the try;
We've been defeated at the poll",
We do not know the reason why.
Tho battle of ballots has beon fought,
Friends and fre* met face to face,
Every cand'dae thought he ou^ht
To come out ahead in the ra<*e.
VlcGowau bad no ruuuiog mate,
He bad what's called a walk over;
He went in at a moderate gate,
He's grazing now in high clover.
For Clerk of Court were Bolt and Gray.
And, also John A. Frank*,
John F. Bolt he won the day,
His name ia Nanoy Hanks.
Miller, Irby and R* D. Boyd
Reached the Legislature plum;
They're the ones to make our laws
Wait ifig for the day to come.
Our good friend John H. Copeland,
Ran all alone for county treasurer;
Ran into ofilce slick as soap and?
Still stands six feet eight, in measure.
\od in the second battle of ballots,
Brave men fell thick and fast;
We stood to ours while the battle raged,
We fell at the last bugle blast.
Tho political ship went out to sea,
Manned by a gallant crow;
Balled through the land of the bravo
and free,
The band playing Dixie and Yankee
Doodle Doo.
The race run between Meesrs Nash
and Brooks
Was run- with many hooks and crooks;
8chools were dlsouasod so were school
books,
Eaoh of the candidates put on his
good looks.
Bat Brooks waBdefeated by Mr. Nash?
Nash's whip bad the longest lash,
He carried the biggest spoon, got all
the hash,
For the next two years will distribute
the cash.
Our County Auditor C. A. Tower,
Made the raoe and made it easy;
He made sixty miles and hour,
?|Thu track was slick and greasy.
Drummond and Humbert, th > present
Incumbent,
Both went into the fight to win;
Late in ths day Drummond gave way,
As Humbert came marching io.
Now to the victors belong the spoils,
The flag is floating high;
And while the political kettle bolls,
They're waiting patiently for the pie.
Peden and Duckott kicked over the
backet,
But when the smoke had cleared
away
Peden went down with a mortal wound,
And Capt. Duckett gained the day.
Hairston and Watts were on their cot*,
When the gallant crew went down;
Hairston fell with a rebel yell,
And Watts stl'l wears the crown.
Bailey was saved from a watery grave,.
So was Joa Eugene B;
Babb and Deck went down in the wreck,
la the raging political sea.
True, gallant sons, they fell at their
post,
While the ballots fell thick and f?s.;
Onward came charging the mighty
hoit,
And victory was won at last.
So, why do we mourn defeated friends,
Or shake at our defeat?
'Tis bnt the news the voters Bend
That caused us to be beat.
Why should we start and fear to die?
Only defeated candidates we are,
Victory was the gate of endless joy,
At.d yet we failed to enter there.
Then, weep not defeated ones,
Do not 6hed a single tear;
Return to your loved ones at home;
The ones to you most dear.
While you're sitting by the fire side,
Tears may spring up in your eye;
Take it easy my dear comrades,
You'll feel better bye and bye.
We ran with patience the race
So easily set before us;
We've been defeated, Ite no disgrace,
Sing this song without the chorus.

low spirits; irritability with a heavy,
