The Grand Jury, having concluded
that any investigation of the lynch -

one follower of Tillman, who hsd got

more docile." ,

?The metropolitan police must go
cf the righi restored to the people
Charleston ot* misruling themselves
as they see fit It has been an ac?
cepted fact for many years that
Charleston was ruled by a ring and
the charge has been made with great
earnestness quite frequently by
Charleston people that the rule of the
ring was largely misrule, but it is not
claimed thai the dominion exercised
by the metropolitan police, which
was created and exists as a creature
of the Reform ring, is one whit bet
ier if so acceptable as the home
made ring so dear to the nea?ts of
Charleston office-holders. il om?*

The Greeks have won the admira
tioti of the entire civilized world by
the heroic stand, they have taken in
defiance of the great powers of Eu?
rope ; and the steadfast determation
with which they persist in defending
their fellow Christiaus in Crete agaisnt
the oppressions and atrocities of
the Turks is winning new friends
each day and immeasurably
strengthening their position. Pub
He opinion in every enlightened
country is solidly with tue Greeks
and the Powers will scarcely dare to
crush them by brute force and coerce
them into submission to the Turks.
It is a case of right against might,
and the Greek deserve to triumph.
The time is ripe for kicking the Turk
ont of Europe and the hands of the
Greeks should be upheld in this most
patriotic undertaking. By all means
let the Greeks drive out the Turks,
and King George of Greece bas
demonstrated his fitness to be a suc?
cessor to Constantine. None mote

The Baptist Graveyard.
Editor Baily Item : Passing io the rear of
the Baptist Church io your cit/
oot lone since, I noticed that the grave
yard attached to the church is used HS a pub?
lic hitching place. S'ock standing on the
graves, and the amount of fodder scatered
about shows that they are fed tbrre also.
Such state of affairs as; this ts most snususl
in our civilized land where the last resting
place of our dead is held sacned from trespass
Let me earnestly hope that our Baptist
brethren will puta stop to it even at the cost
of some trouble to themselves, for it is a re?
flection on them that it exists-on the city for
allowing it, and a lasting disgrace on the
people who have no more self respect than
to desecrate the dead io this way.

Editor Item : The time is come when the edi?
torial fraternity is giving advice to tbe farm?
ers bow to ron their business, and to tbe
credit of lbe editors, be it said, that if their
advice could he followed out a more prosper?
ous state of aff? irswould exist, but does it
not strike tbe editors that people of a1!
classes, and advantages, have some idea, from
experience at least, bow to conduct their
business for their benefit. It would seem so.
It takes just so much expense to raise a crop,
and if prices are low, the cost eat3 op the
profit Next year great efforts are made to
better the condition-try to catch op, and
get ahead-hot often the same trouble comes
and the poor man goes to the wall io spite of
all he can do. We all admit, that all provis?
ions necessary to ron the farm should be
raieed on it, but this cannot always be done.
Sometimes cholera takes cff all the bogs, and
a large expense goes with them, then
drought ruins. the corn crop. These things
are beyond our help in a large measure. If
corn was tea dollars a bushel it would take
as mach to feed a horse to work on as if it
was fifty cents per bushel.
There are several canses that work against
the farmers. The main one is, what be bays
oo time be bas so mach to pay for it Often
a hundred, to ooe fifty, per cent, for the year.
Voa see from this wh.st a load be has to
oar broad land, false as it is that the more
a mao makes or bes,the greater is bis influence
carry-theo agaio there is a sen timen t all over
and social standing with ,tbj>se who worship
money, and many a poor ?fellow exerts him?
self to get rich at once, and down be goes.
It is oo more disgrace to sell a dozen eggs
than it a bale of cotton, and no more to ride
in a wagoo than io a floe boggy if be can't
afford one. but this sentiment exist aod the
j poor fellow avoids coming io conflict with it
as be would the plague. Very often dishon?
est ways are practiced to keep on top. What
i we Deed is less sentiment and more practica!
manhood, just likeit is in the Vorth. A man
there is rated by his c aobood, and not
simply for his wealth alone The poorest
men there are the rno9t eajineot ia public af?
fairs Let us earnestly hope that a new man?
hood will develop here, fo we can tuHke our
Sooth the best in every way of all. * * *

A BTJN?WAY ENGINE.
A Coast Line Locomotive Gets
Away-In Two Collisions,
V runaway engine on the .Atlantic Coast
Line Mt Magnolia Wednesday morning passed
through two coll siot s unhurt and is still
doing duty. The runaway was at the tank
unattached to aoy cars, taking in water,
when a freight tram running at a good rate
of speed struck it forcib'y in the rear. It
was then the loose engine became a runaway. .
The Mow started it off, and for six or eiirht j
miles it went cMpiing. Before the collision j
the engineer and fireman bad parted company !
with their pngine, but when they saw it go j
spinDiog down the track ibey wished they i
hadn't. The runaway kei>t to the track, ?nd ;
a few miles from the starting pince overtook I
another freight train. Into the rear of i
this train the engine' made its ?
way, but bad to come to a standstill. Not j
much damage was dore in this collision j
either. Between the two sccident3 travel
was delayed for an boor or two. Jus? ?by
the engiae should have neen started by-?he
blow is not ktiowD, bu? it is supposed that !
the engineer, when he saw the approaching
train tried to get hi3 engine in motion and
that be left the throttle partially open. No
lives lost a:;d slight it jury -to the trains
was the ote?me of the whole affair.-State.
If asked the question "Have you got a J
stomach ? ' it would hp 3afe on general prin- ?
ciples, 'o answer "Yes." But, if you are l
8ureof if, if you ever fe?l any distress after !
eating or any pains of whatever description ;
io the region of the ttomach, 3 ou have got |
some'hing more than an ordinary stomach ; \
io other w?rds, you have got a diseased
stomach. The etomtch is H powerful
