SAM MARKS TO HANG. The Supreme Court Sustains the Lower Court. Moses Ham Will Probably Escape the Death Penalty, as His Guilt is Not Established. Co?nmbia, Feb. 15.-Sam Marks, the Darlington county negro brought here to prevent Iiis being lynched for the murder of the white man Hill Langston will hang. lu an opinion, filed today, the Supreme Coure sus? tains the lower court i'i which Marks was sentenced to death. B-t the court reverses the finding as to Moses Ham, convicted of the ?ame crime, but given a life term. The opinion says: "There was no testimony to sopport tne verdict as to Moses Ham. The only testimony against Moses Ham was that be called out to Sam Marks after the homicide to run and that he attmpted to make his escape with Sam Marks. These facts are not sufficient to furnish a legal in? ference of a conspiracy between the defendants." Which opinion means that Moses Ham should be acquitted. SOCIAL ETHICS. Is it Manslughter to Kill a Fool ? It is common for men to speak of their own vices in Latin, and of other men's vices in Saxon. One says, "It is true, I did egnivocate. " Of another be says, "He lied." Of his own dealing he says, "I took advan? tage of him," wbile in describing another's actions he would say, "He cheated." The glasses we use in look? ing upon self always soften the view. A great philosopher once said be doubted if it would be manslaughter to kill a fool. May be the law would not agree with him, but it does seem we ought to be able to get rid of the social monstrosities-the gnats and mosquitoes, which, by some freak of nature, have grown into human shape, and spend their life going around dis? pensing their sting and their poison. The half formed smile upon the face makes no more amends for the venom of the tongue than the song of the mosquito does for its burning bite More than half of earth's miseries are born in the mouth. The thorn bushes spring from seeds planted in the form of words. The man who bears and the man who bears false witness are one. The desire to aid all men in maintaining the sanctity of their reputation is one of the lost arts. The resultant evils are two-first in the maligned and next in the maligner He who makes his mind the harboring place of malicious thoughts invades the sanctity of bis life, and the differ? ence between being evil and thinking evil is often not distinguishable. He who avows that all men have their price is one who bas aleady sold ont and been settled with. The woman who is forever assailing the good vir? tue of other women is generally a wretch in whom virtue lingers ouly as the memory of a long-past dream. Sbe has lost what she declares others have not, and her purpose is merely to reduce them to a level with herself in order that she may feel more com? fortable. The question is open for debate : Is it manslaughter to kill a fool ? C. C. B. -\mmm ?> ?? SUMTER'S PUBLIC BUILDING. .Congressman * .-er Explains Status, of The Appropriation. Editor the Daily Item : Relative to the Public Building in Sumter, permit me to say that the status is this: The Omnbue Bill carry? ing items for various projects through? out the country, including fifty thou? sand dollars for Snmter, comes to the H ons 3 with a favorable report from the committee. This does not mean the passage of the bill in the House. It only means that the Public Build? ing is assured for Sumter, if the gen? eral public buildings bill is to be al? lowed at this session. In other words, we are going to get the building, if any new buildings are provided for. The morning papers of Washington announce that the Speaker of the House refuses to allow a day for the consideration of any bill providing for public buildings. I am not advised as to the correctness of this statement. Under the miserable mles we have, the Speaker of the House is the Su? preme Dictator of its legislative pro? gram, and his will is permitted to over-ride the will of the House of Representatives. There is no defence for the rule. I do not know what the attitude of the Speaker is; I trust it may be such as to allow a day for the consideration of these bills, and if so, the building for Snmter is assured. Let me say, also, that while the Game Cock is crowing his expressions of thanks to me for my work, let him not forget to send up one loud, con? tinuous crow for the faithfulness, alterness, kindness, and 'ability of Congressman Scarborough, who was South Carolina's member on the com? mittee. Very much of whatever has been accomplished, is due to Iiis friendship for our project. Assure your people that 1 shall con? tinue to labor to make a reliable reali zatiou of this, the draem of myself and the citizens of Sumter: and as? sure them also, that while the build? ing may be delayed, the report of this committee has made it a certainty at sornet ime in the near future, if not st this session of Congress. Very truly yours, A. F. Lever.

Wi - HARMONY NOT MONOPOLY. A Further Exposition of the Views < Mr. E. L. Witherspoon as to the Methods to Be Adopted to Obtain Factories. Sumter, S. C., Feb. 18, 1905. Editor of The Baily Item. Dear Sir: Your piece in The Ite: last night is calculated to make tl wrong impression upon the people < the ideas I, have. This I would n< have done foranything. "Harmony" the word I wish you to use. I am ri monopolist in any sense of the wort If there were not so many monie sharks in the world to steal the ir ventions of a poor man, I would t one to abolish the patent office. Ill? gitimate compentition is all I obje< to . Speaking of High Point, this is m ideal city. The 28 factories in ths place, while they are called furnitur factories, all work in perfect har mony; one making one class of good and one another class of goods. On makes tables, another makes cham ber suits, another makes chairs, an every- one nearly makes somethin different, and if there are two of ; kind., they are obliged to work in per feet harmony, and guard strictl; against over-production. Where a: abundance of anything is made, an can be bought cheap, nine cases ou of ten it is not needed at all, and i dear at any price. The ideas I have I use on my owi business, and put them in practice, want them to do you good, and I giv themto you as free as water, am don't think there is anything mcnopo listic about that. A trust ls a goo? thing sometimes, providing it is "al hands around," but "harmony" is th' word, not "trust." There can * be . n< harmony among thieves, and harmony among bad men," but we haven't go j any of this class of people in Sumter at least we don't want them to belang I to the Chamber of Commerce, anc j harmony among the people is waht we want. We may be ignorant, and wc may even be simple, but we are hon est and to get together in perfect har? mony, each one giving his views, the whole put together is a power. Mv ideas are practiced every day, and are practiced by most every individ? ual. We cannot get two men to handle I our coffins in one town, especially if it is a. small one, and one or the other of them inclines to cut the prices, nor can you get two men in a town to handle the DeVoe paint, and espec? ially where one wants to cut prices. This is the competition that I vhave reference to, and as individuals we all ! practice it, and the idea put into prac? tice jointly, would be a power for good to all of us. You say that a factory should pay taxes. How in the world could a town be so ungrateful as to receive from it $40,000 to $50,000 a year, and make it pay taxes for the privilege of doing so The town does not charge the countryman taxes, and instead of this, makes all the inducements it can to get the countryman to bnng his cot? ton to town, not that it wants the cot? ton, but the town is sure that it will get some of the money, and the fac? tory leaves all of its money in a town. While a factory is all condensed in one small place, and apparently in better circumstances than the coun? tryman, the laws of the universe re? quire that you treat every man alike, according to the benefit they derive: whether he is rich or poor, and in my opinion the town makes itself an ob? ject of charity when it accepts the bounty bestowed upon it by a factory, when it is not willing to give anythir?g in return. Xo intelligent manufac? turer would stand it. and as long as the present condtions exist, we will not have any factories, only just those instituted by people at homo who do not know any better. A fac? tory has a hard enough time anyway, in fact, next to the preacher and school teacher, they have the hardest time of anybody on the globe. I have been a farmer, a merchant, and am now a manufacturer, and as I know how to sympathize with each of them, I feel that I ought to know what I am talking about. The reason I am a manufacturer, is it has always been my ambition to give meri. em? ployment, and any manufacturer of this kind is always interested in^your churches and schools, as these are in I deed essential to give him good intel? ligent workmen. Leaving all the good, bad, indiffer I ent and everything else out of ins question, it ie a simple business prop? osition. We pay a factory's tax, and allow him a nice ilittle bonus to help him along, and he will give you ia return many fold. If it is a prosper? ous one it's prosperity it wiil div.di with you, by helping you build you* churches and schools, and even help you build your streets which they v. i 1 donate. If they do not prosper, they will help you any way, as you will get all the money they pay their men. As to what is their part of electric lights, -water works and pol'co pro? tection-they get none. If th. y can get the money which they . should have before they start, they will haV3 their own water works, electric light! and are always ready to pay a watch? man to stayt on their premises. A po? liceman is never on our premises, only when he comes to collect taxes, other? wise he never sees it, unless he hap? pens to be on his way to dinner, and the streets around our factory have not been worked in three years. Of the $70.00 paid for one hydrant and one electric light on our plant, about one-fifth of this would be the factory's proportion, and this would certainly be a very small amount for the town to pay, for us to give them $40.00. Even if a factory should pay its part of taxes, there is no equity in taxa? tion. A factory occupying two acres of land, , contai nirig a factory worth $25,000 would only have one light and one hydrant, and its taxes would pay for the lights on a whole street, when the residents of that street should pay it. We own enough land below our factory that would hold a factory worth $50,00 and do a business of $50,000 annuahy. What expense would that factory be to that town? not one cent, unless it wasto put up one more light and one more hydrant, and as that factory would support at least two stores and quit? a number of residences, it would be as little as they could do to pay for those two lights. In my ideas there is a princi? ple which is the principle of equity and right. I give my views for what* they are worth, and if I should con? tradict myself at any time, it will only be a slip of the ^tongue, which was done before the principale ? of har? mony, equity and right was applied- ? If you will combine the principal of equity and right with the princi? pal of harmony, applying them tp ev ertyhing, giving it your best thoughts, it is impossible for you t?> go wrong.
