Here's our hand; we will help. n If the Southern Railway will lay heavy rails the remainder of the way from Columbia to Aslnville,the '' schedule could be made nearer to ^ suit. There i.-all the difference in ( ' tiie worhl between that piece of a road from ANton to Colnmhin and U1 that from Alston to Asheville. Tlh-re would be fewer wreeks and ' better time made. We an* informed 11 that ?ngincers arc f?>rI>i< 1<!?*n to run Jn beyond a ton-mile rate over some;1 portions of the road. This is a eon- in ditioii that should not exist. ; jot The ministers of (icorgi a are on is the right trail, in seeking to learn wl the conditions from which the rapist i res arises; whether from the low (lives j wl of the eitv where licentiousness is fal rampant, and where nude pictures th< of white women are before them; kn or whether they come from the ed- col ueated class of negro. The solicit- th: ors, magistrat* sherifYs and police- ito men can do much toward making wil known tliese conditions, surround- wil ing the rapi-t, when he con unit.- pa] this crime, and those existing prior j not to it. When these things are learn- nei ed, a remedy or prohal ly a prevent- coil ive may be devised. > * I "I'nion eounty may lie relied up-' f: ?n to furnish u sensation aUnit r >ncc every week." This paragraph j p tppeared in the editorial columns ( >t' the Greenville News some time ii ago. It was occasioned hy the \ widespread comment ?>n the whip- t ping of Mrs. Ilohurn, a crime ] which occurred in Spartanburg 1 county, hut was by over ardent j< newspaper correspondents credited to I'nion county. Brother llrun- 1 son, I'nion county has her share of ,: troubles, without being credited with those of other counties. j| It is said that a bank failure in J China lias not occurred in nearly a thousand years; and tliis, because of the law which requires the life of (, the bank ollieials if said bank fails. , This is an extreme penalty, but in our government the extreme seems to oe in thi' other direction. Five, ton or twenty yours in j iil is ahout all such defaulters receive; and this is not much feared. The ease of Paul <>. Stelisland, who was i ( committed for only ten years for stealing half a million is an example of our extremely light sentences. China's law furnishes an idea for our law makers. A spirit of lawlessness seems to possess Greenwood county. We would not he guilty of easting any slurring remarks toward that j county; rather, we deplore the eon-j ditioii. First the lynchers did their 1 work, and a dead negro was the re-! suit; next whiteeappers took law j \*w? v\?vAv \Uv?.i?, null it white uian ! was killed; and again this week a ; llegro was severely whipped. These! are only the evident results, which j indeed arc not tlic most damaging; j for lawless rule begets lawlessness; j and the influence of mob rule knows . ,' no ending. This is dcnionstrrtcd j in our sister county. As we have It i . said before, men will lynch but that ' does not make it riglit; neither is J it the remedy for crime; and the , greatest evil result of it is, that it I begets crime. 1 i AJjifUTtmic umnu X n.jfi dHJpnh* /Iftitt" *vns soundly J J thrashed last week by his wife for: lot paying his newspaper subscrip- , ion after she had given him the j ash with which to do it.

I ENSATIONAL NEWS a AND EHE RESUET. c ? ^ S< The grand jury of Fulton county C as censured the Atlanta news- n apers for their actions prior to the ^ agedies of Saturday night two ^ ceks ago, naming in its criticism rv ic Atlanta News especially. This d a per issued extras on Saturday'0 fternoon giving, in horrible detail, n .'counts of the assaults committed ^ uit day. These accounts were the nmediate cause of the violence?' ie spark to the dry powder. . calling these accounts, men's' rains were fired and the crimes of ic night resulted. W'e must con- tl tide that these nswspapiTS are in P' way rcsponsihlc for the outrages !^.' ion justice. "p The journalists of the country, if icy consider well the facts of this th cent occurence, are facing a )v' onientous question. And here it L'i Are we serving our country's \j terests when we give in detail I ese horrors? The progressive urnalist at once answers that ours the duty to give news, to tell lat has happened and let the mlts alone. Hut the sane man 10 edits a paper realizes the! lacy of this argument. For if, ere he evil results of his work, he ^ ows he is responsible?ethics, minon sense and the Bihlc teach it. Still another misguided ed-: r may argue that his competitor 11 give such news and the people 1 patronize the other man's per. He that as it may, he is I relieve.i of his res|>onsibility; tlier i- his act justified hy his ? npetitor's wrong-doing. _ A lien a newspajx-r i- sent out xll roin the office, the editor of it is esponsible for every effect that it i iroduees, whether good or bad. j Consequently it is in the power of Ln editor to do much good or to vork great harm to his fellow man. ^?, if a clean, decent, respectable paper is published, its effect moraly should be good. Hut when these ditors publish all the filth, dirt and nauseous accounts that their report crs gather and greedy correspondents send in, they are sending out some-i tiling that can produce only degrading results. This is the curse of journalism today. This may obtain for a few years I but it cannot stand?reason denies it. Yellow journalism will work its own ruin; it may carry the j public miml with it, but founded upon wrong as it is, nothing but a downfall awaits it. Personal Influence. Personal influence stands for' something. Whether we know it i or not, we either help carry for- ' ward the work of bettering the world or we .stand in the way and impede its progress. Should we l>e; willing to Ik' dead heats in the} Godward tramp of so great a universe? We labor for others, whether for good or for had, so, have others labored for us, for! better or worse. The influence of character breaks the walls of individuality and leaves its impression on other hearts and lives. It is >ur duty so to live and lalwor that others may he helped hv the results >f our lives and our work. Neither the wickedness nor the virtues of men and women belong to theniw.lvos ydono. "We are sowing, ever sowing Something good or something ill. I In the lives of those about us We are planting what we will." The sort of lives we live should ! he our greatest concern, not for ourselves alone but for others as well. "In whose principles," said the dying daughter of Kthnn Allen 1 to her skeptical father, "shall I I lie, yours or those of my Chris- j dan mother?" We are told the <tcrn old hero of Ticonderoga \ brushed a tear from his eye as lie i turned away and with the same j rough voice that commanded the! Uritinh ''iuu" rour mother's, child, 111 your nother's." We are lu re to hring sunshine to lie world l?y our life, and we hould ever liear in mind that rhether we will or not, we do not I ive to ourselves, nor for our own i lay and generation: hut our influ- i nee lives on in other lives long 1 fter our day is done.
