GOVERNMENT OUGMI TO GRANT PENSION Merlin Correspondent Thinks V, S. l .N .MoYcmmciil .should Provide Pension for Mr. Stone's Kurl My. Igdilor Tlio Advertiser: In a rocoul Issue of a counly paper n statement Is made thai Uio "Slate" nowspaper has closed and rounded up its campaign for tho rund of the widow <>f the dutiful, brave ollicer who lost his life in the disc hai r,.' of his duty. The statement weill on lo give amount railed, and added lhai it was hoped thai the amount would be nur Helen! to clear up the mortgage on Ihe widow's home. There is nothing wrong about this; on the other hand, il is very commendable, lint is there not somothlng oiso? This widow ami small Children will have to live, and was not the mainspring removed, in fidelity, as it proved, io not only the people of Laurens and Ihe Slate c;! South Carolina, hut to the whole Fulled Stale s? Are nol such men as ihe one whom ollicer Stone placed his hand; Upon a menace to the group of States at largo? We gather fuels from lime to time to show that his field of op erations included several different States North as well as South, ami hol only private corporations were }<; the path of his pluuderiiigs, hut na tional corporations also. This being ihe case with all such successful characters, robbing post ollioes and mail trains heilig as muc h their objects c:f attach as anything cdse. they IUOV0 tlhOUl more lUyslcl'i oiisly and promiscuously than the sleuth and lenve destruction and of ten dentil in their path* The Culled states government makes sp< cinl efforts to apprehend and pro - OCUto suc h, which Is right. Now the point we want lo make Is, Ihe l ulled Stales government has used means to purposes no more worthy' lluin thai of caring for widows and orphans of of floors killed in apprehending ami bringing to justice such outlaws lo national as well as Slate and private property, The national government could well afford to pension the widow of (his bravo man. and we freely as. should do so. Ollicer MeOullle II. Stone on his round of duty in Ihe small, dark, cold, dead hours of night, in a di mal f|liarler, elicoiiut red a suspicious character, whom he pro ceeded to ac.ost and til'fcat, lind was Shot to his death by what proved lohe oiio of ihe most daring, determined, desperate, v. ell filled oui law s that CVi r roamed. II Is I rue he did nol know who he was crossing, but he was cur rying out hi;; duly just ihe same; and he Was killed and taken I'rolll a wife of lender years and small ? .:i1 Iren, who have lo bailie Ihe war of life alone, uldiushuiidcd and ami un futhered; Thi ; is ii very sad spectacle in life's drama.
