FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1894.
If some of our contemporaries
would learn the distinction between
immorality and crime they would be
saved the mortification of making a
great many blunders in writing on
these topics.
Owing to the press on our col
umns this week, the article of the
Abbeville Press and Banner, in ref
erence to the Dispensary discussion
is crowded out of this issue. It w'll
appear in full next week. We, of
course, can make no comments on it
until it appears in our columns.
The editor of the Sumter Free
man, a staunch member of the Alli
ance, has been unceasing in his pro
tests against the leaders of the Alli
ance being such inveterate office
seekers, but it seems that he has pro
tested in vain when the fact is con
sidered that Mr. W. D. Evans, the
president of the Alliance, is a candi
date for Governor. Despite tin; oft
repeated assertion that the Alliance
is not in polities, stands out promi
nently the fact that, almost without
exception, its leaders have used it as
• stepping stone to political prefer
ment
Secretary of State Tiudal, in a
very dignified and straightforward
letter, has announced his intention
not be a candidate for governor.
Mr. Tindal is not extreme enough in
his views to suit some of the leaders
of bis factiou, and would, were he
to make the race, stand yery little
chance of semiring the nomination
He wonld make a far bc.-er governor
than John Gary Evans, but could
not be depended on to follow in the
footsteps of Gov. Tillman, us he
probably bus ideas of his own as re
gards the duties and limitations of
the chief executive officer of the
State.
The Columbia Register is calling
Larry Gantt all kinds of hard
names, which if true w6 .id indicate
that Mr. Gantt’s nature has under
gone a mighty change for the worse
since the time when he used to write
those strikingly truthful articles for
the columna of this high-toned and
dignified journal. It is a sad fall
from the paths of rectitude and it
is a matter of profound regret that
the severance of bis relations with
the Register should have produced
such a direful result. How the con
science of the proprietor of the Reg
ister must torture him when he re
members that be is mainly responsi
ble for the moral degredation of this
once truthful ami upright man.
EASTER.
Sunday, the 25th, is the day set
apart to commemorate the resurrec
tion of the Savior, who after the
space of three days burst the bands
of death and came forth from His
sealed and guarded tomb and by this
miraculous power over the laws of
nature settled forever the question
as to His divinity and of His oneness
with the Father. It was the great
final act of His mission on earth, the
character ami object of which had
been so accurately foretold by the
prophets of old, and the triumphant
consummation in the physical life <f
One who came to bring the glad
tidings of peace and good will to
men. He came not to offer His
grace to a part of the human race,
but to every living creature, for that
same attribute of His divine love
that made it possible for Him to
offer salvation to any individual
makes it necessary that it should be
given freely to all who will come
unto Him. Any other belief than
this is incompatible with the divine
attributes of justice and mercy, for
these are as boundless as His power.
After the lapse of nearly nineteen
hundred years, the words of our
liord and Redeemer are as potent for
good and have as deep a hold on the
hearts and consciences of men as
when they first fell from His lips,
and there are millions of the human
race whose faith is as strong as was
that of Thomas after lie had felt the
prints of the nails on the body of
the Savior, and whose conviction
was followed by those memorable
and triumphant words,
“My Lord and my God.''
On this day not only the Christian
of Europe and America will rejoice
and observe it with thanksgiving,
but in the isles of the sea and in
every part of the globe people will
sing glad songs of praise to the
Savior of the human race. On this
glad day let the church bells ring
with joyous tone, let all the people
repair to their respective places of
worship and join in commemorating
an event which furnished such abso-
ntely indisputable evidence of the
divine origin of Christianity, and
which has placed it upon a rock
against which the waves of infidelity
and skepticism may beat and dash
in vain.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
The Sumter Freeman makes the
serious charge against Judge. Bcnet
that he was s.:cn playing cards with
professional gamblers, while he was
in Sumter, at the recent term of the
court The Freeman both in jus
tice to itself and to Judge Benet
ought, to specify its charge and put
it in such chape that it can be in
vestigated, for if it be true then
Judge Benet is bringing reproach
upon the high position th.it beholds.
The judiciary should lie not only
versed in legal knowledge, but of
irreproachable moral character also.
Since the aboye was in type we
find in the Watchman and Southron,
NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS.
That there is something radically
wrong either in our criminal laws,
or in the jienalties impos;d for their
violation, is too palpable a fact to
admit of denial, and the question
naturally arises as to what can be
done to secure their more certain en
forcement and also some plan by
which the punishment may be in
proportion to the gravity of the
crime. We constantly hear a repeti
tion of the words that the law is no
respecter of persons, but a little re
flection will readily show that it is,
in many cases, a phrase that has no
real meaning. As an instance of
the truth of this assertion it is only
necessary to mention two of the sen
tences imposed by Judge Benet at
the recent session of the Sumter
court, but iu doing this we distinct
ly disclaim any intention to reflect
on the presiding judge, for the rea
son that he has simply followed a
custom that prevails, to a greater or
less extent, in every part of the conn'
try. An ignorant negro, who had
probably never had any moral train
ing and whose theft may have been
inspired by - hunger, plead guilty to
the crime of stealing two turkeys
and was seutenced to two years in
the penitentiary, while an educated
white man, who belonged to a prom-
luent family and who had had every
advantage of mental and moral cul
ture, who plead guilty to stealing
seyeral hundred dollars was let off
with a sentence of twelve months.
It is very plain that either the white
man got off too light or that the negro’s
sentence was entirely too severe.
Just reverse the case and suppose
that the negro had stolen the money
and the white man the turkeys, doe
anyone for a moment suppose that
the same sentences would have been
imposed ?
As the case stands the poor,
friendless, ignorant negro will lie
hustled off to the penitentiary, and
made to serve his lime out, being
however far more entitled to sympa
thy than the cultured white man,
while for the latter there will proba
bly be a strong petition for hif
pardon, sent to the governor,
signed by a large number
of silly people who allow their mis
placed sentiment to outweigh their
judgment and common sense. No
one supposes that it is possible, at
all times, to administer the laws
with absolute justice, but it should
be Ibe constant aim of those charged
with their execution to approximate
impartiality as nearly as possible.
Neither a man’s social or financial
standing, the number and influence

Those who wish to purchase any
plants or summer bulbs can save money
by sending their orders to me. I have
niade arrangements with several of the
largest florists in the country, whereby I
can deliver the plants at catalogue prices.
The cost of transportation is very often
a considerable item on small orders and
this can lie saved by sending the orders
at one time. Catalogues can lie consult
ed at Tiik IIkuai.d olticc. The prices
for both plants and bulbs will he found
very reasonable and a very moderate
amount of money can secure enough
bulbs to make a very flue show.

I swindler or torger by sending him
borne of our exchanges are trying
to sidetrack Mr. Ellerbc. as a candi
date for govern.o' on the ground
that he is not an effective stump
sjaaker. It is very much to his
credit that he is not atcoivJing to
what is now the fashion iu {Kilitieal
speaking, most of which is douc
with uti utter disregard of irutb and
fairness. Mr. Kllerbe’a inability to
compete with the glib-tongnul Aiken
lawyer does not by any means proto
that he would not. make a Letter
governor than his legal competitor.
As to Mr. Elleilie’s qualifications we
cannot speuk advisedly, but his ina
bility to make a ttirring stunip
spiech should not, be allowed to
stand against him. Some of the
best and wisest men could not make
a stump fpcech if their lives depen
ded on it, jet they are often the
safest kind of men to entrust with
public office.
the grand jury, if the man who
made this charge can prove the
truth of what he says, I will take
the robe of office off my shoulders
and leave the bench as I ought to
do.”
All we have to say is, that if the
Freeman does not, without the least
delay, conclusively prove its grave
charge# against Judge Benet; it will-
put itself in a position that will be
anything else hot hii enviable one.
GET OFF THE FENCE 1
Mr. Bowden, the editor of the
t.'otton Plant, which tells Its nothing
about agriculture but a great deal
about bad politics, iimst he a very
astute individual, lie is an ojk-ii
and ardent advocate of the Third
party and its political vagaries,
while at the same time he is credit
ed with living able to dictate terms
to Governor Tillman and other lead
ers, who are constantly telling us
that they are Democrats. It is cer
tainly without a parallel in the his
tory of politics, that of a member of
one political party dictating terms to
the leaders of another. If Governor
Tillman, Senator Irby and other
Reform leaders, are wise they will
east Mr. Bowden adrift :ts speedily
as |s)ssible and that without any
ceremony.
It would not be w bud idea for Mr.
to the penitentiary, when the mere
fact of his wrongdoing proves con
clusively that he has degraded him
self, and that imprisonment will
only hurt him in a physical sense.
Another thing in this connection
that should lie considered is the fact
that a great deal of what is colled
regret for the commission of crime
lacks the true element of penitence,
iu that it is the issue and not the
act for which they are sorry.
This is a matter that demands the
most earnest and serious attention of
our iM-ople, for it is very certain that
there is imperative need of a change,
not only in the laws and their ad
ministration, but what is of far
more imjiortatice in order that these
laws may be executed impartially, a
radical improvement itt public senti
ment, u sentiment that will not tol
erate the slightest deviation from
the lines of justice either by judge
or jury.
