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. ;

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

"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

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. .

rains were fired and the crimes of

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

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. I
