What We Think, So far as we recall the only white man convicted of murder and sentenced to death in South Carolina, in several years, was Hayes of Oconee, who killed his wife. The State hoped to use h:m as an example and now comes the news that he has escaped! The law is weak iu conviction of white men and too weak to execute the few who are convicted. What ought to happen to the officers of Oconee who allowed that fiend to escape? * * * South Carolina has had- so many lynchings in the last few weeks that they have become common, so common that the average newspaper reader finds little interest in reading the stories of the mob. When a man opens his morning paper he as confidently expects to find the story of a lynching as he does to find the advertisements of the patent medicines. It's a sure thing and the horror of it is that we can gebi^hus used to such fearful things. Lynching is warder w? pure and* simple, and yet there are people who condone it. There are hundreds of men in South Carolina, men who have composed mobs, w ho have stained their hands with human t 1 3 1 Ml L .1.1 Diooa ana wno win i;e ueiu as suicily accountable by God ou the last / day as will the -wretches who were ~ lynched. Will men never realize this fact? It seems not * * * Mrs Florence Maybrick/an American woman who was convicted, fifteen years ago, of the murder of her English husband, and who has been confined f or that length of time in an English prison, has been released. She was given a life sentence but through the good offices of influential English women and American representatives at the English court, 6he has been released. She has not been pardoned?simply released with the understandingthat 6he is still in bad odor in England. This case shows the world English respect for human life. There was reasonable doubt as to the woman's guilt, but so great was England's regard for life that the woman was found guilty and punished. Ever since her confinement in prison powerful influence of distinguished people has been exerted to have her pardoned, but only after fifteen years has the goverinent consented. How sadly America needs this English, respect for law and life! A human life in this country is worth little more, in the eyes of the courts, and the people at large, than the life of anjanitnal of ihe forest. Evetry day murder is recorded in the papers, and the courts excuse. Does it ever occur to juries that when they liberate a murderer on sentiment or predudice or on technicalities that they have stained their own ? | bauds in human blood ? The jury J j which exonerate* a murderer on i these ground? is as bad as the murj derer himself. I * * * Editor-Soldier Aver, of theFlor1 ence Dailv Times, is out in a hot J j roast of the people of Columbia for J what he considers their shortcomings in the matter of the entertainment of the third regiment lately encamped in that city. Mr Ayer thinks the city did not attach as much importance to the soldiers as they deserved. TJp nnmrilains that the dance which | was given iu their honor was not what it ought to have been; that the reception to the officers was poorly attended; that the encampment was not appreciated by Columbia. All of which suggests the question: What is the purpose of a military encampment? Was it intended as a season of social gaiety, daucing, champagne suppers? Was it to make heroes of the officers? We think not# Our understanding of the encampment is that it is intended to instruct the raw soldier in militaiv science; to give him some knowledge of camp life. The social feature is entirely incidental. The money of the people is not appropriated for soldier germans and wine suppers and to make heroes of holiday officers. We have great respect for the soldiers of the State, but must insist that many of them have an entirely false notion as to what an encampment is intended for. It appears to us that Mr Aver and others who are complaining of Columbia's shortcomings along social lines, would make a better impression on the people if they would have less to say about social functions and more about military matters. Would it not be better for the State officers to have the next encampment some where in the woods, where the soldiers would have nothing to draw them off from their studies and from things military ? * * * The Late Mr. Wm. J. Bryan. Citizen Wm J Bryan of Lincoln Nebraska, the quondam leader of the Democracy, acknowledging that free silver is a dead issue in these times of prosperity, is out in the last issue of his paper, The Commoner, in advocacy of some very radical views which he urges the Democracy to consider. The most radical of these views is that relating to the State ownership of railroads and telegraph lines. We have admired Mr Bryan for many manly qualities, but when he asks the intelligent Democrats of the land to subscribe to this Populistic jgospel we must confess to something close.akin to disgust.- It' will be recalled that some one, some years ago, was so wicked as to say that Mr Bryan was a Populist. The advocacy of such doctrines as the State ownerships of railroads and telegraph lines is hardly refutative of the charge* This is one of thesuperanuated doctrines of the Populist party and we are surprised that Bryan would ask the Democracy to consider such stuff. Really the great Commoner gets more common every day. lie dies hard. The King Warehouse, Lake. City, is now open and better prepared than ever to get big prices tor your tobacco. BRUTALLY TORTURED.
