We arc sorry this , thing happened near our own city, i for we do not think it helps our t reputation, and we feel sure it hurts a our morals.

Fields, former agent uf the Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York, makes charges against this company similar to those made hy .Judge Andrew Hamilton against the directors of the New York Life Insurance Company. It is charged that these directors connived at clYorts to control legislation. "Murder will out.'' S< also other forms of wickedness. A correspondent in the (jalTncj Le Iger asked the editor ti) explain why the newspapers of CJaflnoj showed "so much more zeal in tin prosecution of the slayer of Bennctl and Davison" than they had shown in other cases that had heen up foi trial in Cherokee. The editor put: up a good defense of his paper and concludes as follows: "In conclusion, we desire to sa; that this newspaper has ever beei opposed to crime and criminal, am it makes no dilYerence to us wheth er the perpetrator he white, black red or yellow, we propose to con tinue to try to create a public senti incut against crime until it will b tin. -althy for any man to kill an other.

The light being waged by tlx mayor and police commission o Columbia against Sunday selling i to be commended. It now seem that the vending machines-opera tot to sell cigars on Sunday are to h< put out of business. The Dailj Record of that city regards witl disfavor the suppression of thos< machines. It says: "In the opinion of a number o influential business men the police commission in its strenuous zeal ii pursuing a narrow policy which is about to break up an importan business concern, which is trying t( do a business throughout the Stab with Columbia as its headquarters." It is to be hoped that the move grounds than the question of profit. "A narrow policy which is about t( break up an important business concern is one way to look at the question. This is the very marrow in most arguments for the selling of whiskey it pays. But there are some people who seek to settle these piestions upon higher ground. It s the moral aspect that looms largest in their eyes. Besides, there ire many of us who feel that to trivc for the observance of the iws of Clod and of man is anything lse than "narrow." Kmincnt physicians have said liat the people of New f'uigland iid other sections would find a ire for melancholia and a pre ventre against suicide in the rural free jlivery system.

With us the eontion is vastly better. Our winters i shorter. There is more sunine and more natural I lowers, s of snow and ice. Yet it is true 1 Lh us, also, that the isolated mor often thinks of the desirahil- I of having near neighbors. Man 1 by nature a social being, and j Is the need of fellowship.

L.u? n ? - As 1 seldom ever see anj thing ( from our little corner I will try to give a few dots hereabout. The farmers arc late hut are all rushing now to make up lost time. Last week seemed to be a time for tire. One colored woman and three little children burned to death near here, and other fires burned up much wood. The children were locked up in the house by their mother with no way to get out. \\ hen will the negro women quit locking their children up in the house and leaving them to burn; with no way to escape if the house gets on fire? 1 he measles seem to be about run out here now, unless some of the colored people get them.
