This paper will always give the
people items of interest. It's career has
been pretty chcckercd, it is true but
nc, one will say that it has not always
been up to The times. Whatever of
sharpness our contemporary has dis
play ed, was always check mated by some
shrewd dodge of the NEWS. Why, it
would even he ahead in the race, if an
editor had to be sacrificed in order to
make its success sure. Once upon a
high and lofty plane of journalism, now
upon n slip shod rickety road, and then
again reeling all about, it is to be
wondered TINT she hasn't given up the
ghost long ago. But no.. tho News
takes high ground, and says her editors
may die, but she "aint gwineto." !"
Well, it is good for tho people of this
good old County that their County
joufdar cdn't "peg out" They like
nsws, and the News will furnish it
until she gets hoary with good old
age, despite the changes of her man
ayers.

The King Can Don wrong.

The King Can DO nj Wrong.
s So said .he counsel of the,mnian who
was indicted at Orangeburg for grand
larceny; and that man happening to be
Governor Of South Carolina, is likened
unto king, md is, by Judge Graham,
solcmnly declared to be responsible and
amenablo for no theft, robbery, murder,
or any other crime he has conmitte'l, or
may commit, ms long as the divine
mantle which he wears rests on his
, shoulders. As long rs he is Governor,
no warrant Of law can reach his divine
person, however atrocious his crimes
may be or may have been. lie is in
capable of committing crime, even
though he hasrantly violates evory com
maudment in the dccaloSuc, because,
like king, he can do no wrong. The
mantle Of his Office screens him from
every crime he may choose to pcrpe-
trate. because Moses is Governor, he
may not ohly steal himself with impun-
ity, but lie may encourage or threaten
every one of his appointces to steal for
him, threatening them with removal
from office if they do not steal, aud
promising them pardon if they do steal
Such is practically what Judge Graham
says. Such noustrous and shameful
pcrvision Of justice for party ends never
has before disgraccd the judiciary Of
any civilized country in the world
