Wolfs, Kin^stree, S.O. l .1 ? !--.. -1 TMURSDAY OCT. 20, 1904. Th? Question of Lights, The-argument of our Lake City correspondent in favor of better tights for that thriving municipality applies with equal force to our town, and we commend to the citizens of Kingstree his suggestion as to oHdfetric lights. It is a notable fact that shice the world's beginning men have sought the cover of darkness to do their deeds of evil. Bnrglarvvrobberv and arson?three crimes dosely connected?are seldom or never committed in daylight or on streets lighted by electricity. Ia this connection it occurs to us that some months ago, as the story goes, safe robbers visited visited a ? certain town in the Pee Dee section intending to rob the bank, but finding the building flooded with brilliance from a Dear by arc-light, they { changed their plans and went to nether town some miles distant where the darkness was accentuated by grimy kerosene "lights". Here r they found no difficulty in carrying at their purpose aud next morning the people awoke in wide-eyed wonder to find that some hundreds of money had been stolen from their midst. The lights of Kingstree are al most as bad as none at all. The town may not be able to afford electricity jnst now but certainly there could be made some improvement on the.present system. Sometimes on the darkest nights there is not a sin- i gle'lamp burning on either of our principal streets. With this state of things it is not strange that robberies are frequent aud other acts of lawlessness committed that go un' punished. . I ; , | The Case of Hoyt Hayes. Governor Hey ward has commutted to life imprisonment the sentence of ^JEoyt Hayes, who was to have been kangeu in Oconee county last Friday for the crime of killing his wife. The governor's reason for interfering was based principally on the opiniou of a hand-writing expert that a certain note signed by Mrs Hayes, in whichshe signified her intention to ommit suicide, was genuine and not a forgery as was contended by the prosecution. As it appears to us Governor Keyword's action in the case was ill-ad^ *ised. Either Hayes is guilty or innocent. If guilty he certainly deserved to be hanged, and if innocent he ought not to be punished at all. The course pursued by the governor seems to indicate a desire to ''keep ia" with both sides?the friends of the conclemmed man by sparing his life, and at the same time to throw a sop to those who believe hiro guilty by imprisoning him for life. If it be practicable we think the suggestion offered by the News and Courier a good one, viz., to stud the case back to the circuit court and let the exp.rt give his testimony. Ii*en let the jury decide what bear* ing it may have in determining the guilt or innocence of Hayes. Already it is freely asserted that in South Carolina a white man caunot be legally hanged, and the outcome of the case of Hoyt Hayes is not calculated to disabuse people's minds of that opinion. r ninnnnHBaHH | U A 7 A M i E? | Ma ITlu >nr Sold b; riwr.CTDCP i\iiivjwi ivuu., MlHAj MONEY TO LOAN.
