ment of this colony we are disposed to re-
gard with anything but favour; n any
interference by the Secretary of State on
the ground of Sir III. Norman's recon-
m%endation, with the view of substituting
for the gentlemen who so efficiently per.
form the duties of their Offices at present,
officers with Indian experience, would raise
the Indignation of the whole colony.
Even Sir II. Norman largely discounts the
value of his advice by acknowledging that
after Il few years residence in the colony,
q coolie developes a degree ofindependence
and a tendency to self-assertion which are
utterly unknown in India, and that the
kind of treatment to which they meekly
submit in their native country would be
violently resented here. In other words,
an AnglO.lndian has had the training, of
all others, best calculated to render his
bearing towards the tranSplanted coOlie
unbearable to that individual. Moreover
we have experience. Not more than ten
years ago an attempt was made to fill
vacancies in the ranks of the Sub gents
of immigration by '~'officers of Indian ex-
perience." And we received several;
notably MeSsrs. Walpole and Denham, the
mention of whose names will be sufficient
to recall the complete failure of the expert.
ment. Others also were tried with no
better success. Mr.. Trotter was an excep.
ton. Not only was his intimate acquain-
lance with the various dialects spoken by
The immigrants of great value to the I'm.
migration Department and to the admin.
i~stration Of justice, but he also exercised
immense personal influence over the coolies,
who were always willing to accept and
act upon his counsel when they would pro-
badly have treated with contempt that of
other men. But that was due, not to his
being, like Sir Henry Norman, an Anglo
Indian, but a genuine Indian. Between
such an one and an Anglo Indian, or
English officer of Indian experience, there
is a great gulf. We don't want any more
Denhams or WaIpoles, nor others whom
we might mention. Glands of" must be
our watchword if interference with the
staff of our immigration Department is
attempted on the lines indicated by Sir
Henry Norman.

From the Port-of Spain Ga<ettS.I

Our columns have often borne tes-
timony to the feelings Of indignant
resentment felt in this colony at the
way in which our various Governors
have been "~jockeyed" by our rulers
in Downing Street. Not only have
the chest intentions" of our teeblest
Governors been frustrated, but even
the bold and state~manlike plans and
projects of some of our ablest rulers
have been either met with immediate
and curt rejection, or slowly killed
out by cold Indifference. In such
cases, and they have been many and
oft. the Press and the people have
been loud in their de~nunciation of the
statesman, who, for The time being,
was supposed to rule supreme at the
Colonial Office. The Duke of New
castle, the Earl of Kimberley, Sir
Michael Hicks-Beac Lord Canarvon
and the Earl of Derby, have each in
turn come in for II share of condemna-
ton for a~cts,of which, if we may
Judge from what we are about to lay
before our readers, they may, rs prin-
cipals, have been entirely innocent.
From the recently published auto
biography of Sir Henry Taylor, the
well known and gifted author of
Philip Van Artervelde and other
works, we get some g%lances behind
that curtain which, in general, entire
ly conceals official sayings and doings
from public gaze or public criticism.
Sir Henry was born in 1900, and af-
ter a somewhat unsettled youth, DUR
ing which he paid a short visit to
Barbados, was, in 1924, appointed to
a clerkship in the Colonial Office, a
position which he held for the long
period of As years, retiring on a pen
sion in 1872. A review Of the auto

A Hint to Clients.

the Newberry Bar received q letter
from client in Texas for whom he had
transacted some legal service over
thirty-three years ago, and in the letter,
was enclosed the:fee for said service,
with an offer to pay interest if it were
desired. There was no memorandum Of
the fee kept by Mr.. Jones and he had
entirely forgotten the matter. The
client had moved to Texas more than
thirty years ago.

of such instances of perfect honesty Of

An Absurd Objection.

The Ne,cs and Courier objects to
Lieut. Governor Sheppard acting as
counsel for those accused of lynchinp
Culbreath, because sit is within the
range OF human events that he should
be called on to consider and determine
IN application for pardon or mitigation
OF sentence, on behalf of his present
clients or some of them."
On this ground our Charleston con-
temporary might as well say the lieu
tenant Governor should not practice his
profession at all, except in civil actions.
And it might also object to any promi-
nent lawyer going into the criminal
court to practice, as it is s'within the
range of human events" that any man
in the State may become Governor.
The position Of the Ne,os and Cour-
ie'' on this point is so clearly untenable
that we are inclined to believe that the
astute editor was absent that day
and that the Office boy was running the
paper.-Edgefeld Chronicle.

The Killing of Riley.

The Charleston Sunday Dispatch
publishes an interview with DR.. A. N.
Bellinger, who shot and killed Stephen
Riley, from which the following is IN
extract:
"Doctor," continued the newspaper
man, "did you say you killed Riley in
self-defence when you went to the
Main Station to surrender" mo, 1
did not" was the answer, CT didn't say
anything" Then the Doctor looked
at the Reporter and said, II can't tell
you how I came to do it now. You'll
hear at the inquest. But I'll say this ::
Any man in Charleston, black or white,
would have killed Riley under the same
circumstances. You would have done
it. [ repeat 1t. any other man would.
neither assert or deny the self-defence.
But any man would have done it.
''There is report out thatI wrote
him note, telling him he had to re-
tract Retract what? I would not
have written him q note. Another re-
port is, that after shot him, l stoop-,
ed down and cody felt his pulse, after
which left, seeing he was dead. That's
ridiculous. I never touched him. I
stopped down and picked up my hat
and brushed the dirt from it with my
coat skirt. didn't go directly to the
Station-house from there. I'll tell you
the reason. ily wife has been in aw-
full health for two years, and 1 was
afraid she and the family would be dis
turbed by the rumors they heard. So
| went home and told them what had
done. Then / went around in King
street, where l was attending little
child of Mrs. Minta. 1 wanted to tell
them to get another physician, as l
couldn't come any more that day. I
did so. On the way to Meeting street
met Levin, the detective. He asked
me if l had heard about Riley's death.
] told him, yes; killed him. He asked
me if I wanted him to 60 the Station
house with me, and said "no." When
| arrived at the Main station house, they
seemed TO she lookiagv for mes md the
officer in charge was standingin front.
He turned and went inside when he saw
me coming, and followed him. He
made an entry that had surrendered
myself, in his books, and then ask me if
had a pistol. told him no, but that
killed Riley. and that was sufficient.
Now, that is all | can tell you at pres
ent. i expect to come clear. No good
man can want me punished for what |
did"

The Narrow Gauge and New Idea for it.


The friends Of the proposed narrow
gauge rail road in this city are now dis
cussing new idea in connection with it
which seems to be good one. The
purpose of those interested in the road
has all along been to build it as means
we're available, completing and ex-
tendingit gradually and operating it on
the completed portions. 1t was thought
that building should begin at the other
end of the line but it is now suggested
that work should be begun here with
the $4,000 subscription of Piedmont
and Pelzer and the road built and ope-
rated between this city aud those points
It is argued that this method would
give the road good local business to
begin with and put it in good condition
to be extendedsrapidly and cheaply, and
that q railroad already built and in ope-
ration would command more of public
confidence and support than if it was in
the air or only graded. Capt. w, j..
Kirk says the total cost of a narrow
gauge from here to Pelzer via Piedmont
would be $50, 600, including one engine
and full complementof cars. Itcould
be operated at q cost of 1O,5OO a year,
including z per cent. interest on $35, 600
of bonds. q.
Capt. Kirk says there are now more
than Thousand narrow gaage railroads
in operation, varying in length from ten
to hundreds of miles. and that Poor's
manual willshow that not one Of them
failed to pay. He estimates that the 70
miles between here and Fruit Hill,
Edgefeld county, can be graded at AN
average cost Of $4oo per miles Greeu-
