Equal Justice.-.EQuaI Taxation.

Our respected contemporary, the Columbia
Reoiste4, In the past has talked earnestly and
strongly in favor Of a fair assessment of prop
erty. We suggest that there is a greater diff
ference IN the administration of justice in
South Carolina than in the assessment OF
property.
When we do not recollect that any member
Of the ruling class, nor any member Of that
class who shout hozannas and praises to Of
ficers for their every act, has ever been pun
ished for murder In this State, and when the
newspapers would lead US to believe that they
have committed crimes for which the friend
less citizen would be called upon to surrender
his life, we cannot but believe that there Is Il
great need for a uniform system of Furnishing
criminals.
Lynchers have defied the Courts, and laugh-
ed them to scorn. The lynchers were possibly
members OF the privileged class OF citizens
who may punish poor trash without let OF
hindrance. But when some negroes in Pick
ems tried the lynching business, they arc
brought into Court, tried and sentenced 10 pt
hanged These negroes lynched white man
for assault on a little girl.
Recently In York county. the newspapers in
form us that the Sheriff hid out some
negroes and carried them from the county
in the night time, to prevent them from be-
ing lynched by infuriated members Of the
priviledged class Was not the admission OF
fear on the part of the Sheriff that his prison
ers could not be allowed q trial In the Court, q
shame and disgrace to the county?
Amonth or so ago two negroes went into &
store In Charleston. One of the negroes shot
hi laA ha lphita
Both negroes were put on trial for the mul'
der, and both were convicted Of murder anG
sentenced to be hanged. The exultant man
ner In which the Charleston newspapers an
nounced the speedily conviction was such as
not to create a favorable impression. oi
course the negro who committed the murder
should have been convicted, but by no meth
cd Of reasoning based on anything else thar
the echnicalities OF faW which have never
been known to apply to the influential citi
zen, can the conviction Of the man who wit
messed the killing be justified. In our opin
ion the execution Of the second man in the
Charleston case is nothing more nor less thar
judicial murder-pure and simple. We fur
ther believe that the Governor should com
mute the sentence-even if IL should be tho
means of exciting members nf the. privileged
class to break down the jail and lynch the ne
gro.g
Edgefield has a triple murderer who seems
to set the law at Defiance and on whose crimt
the Courts do not look with much dlsfavor.
But why specify special cases? Loot at on'
Courts anywhere. Foor trs sh generally gel
justice-their chief ground Of complaint Lies
In the fact that there seems to be no law tt
punished the privileged class. 1t is seldom,
that anybody is punished unJustly, and it is
seldom that the privileged class are put t.
any more trouble than is incident to theii
trial and acquittal.

Poultry Oh tic Farm.

Tile poultry is the most neglected of all stock
on The farm. The hens, rs n rule, have no
regular care and roost wherever they see fit,
which is mostly on wagt lis ard fam imrle
ments.
This is all wrong no stock will make better
returns for care and feed than hens. IL Is not
only good thing to have eggs to eat but 1t is
also q very good thing to have plenty of eggs
to sell. The profit in this. rs IN any other
business, depends upon Its proper manage.

No one expects cows, sheep. or pigs TO pay,
unless they are well fed and cared for, then
why expect poultry to prove an exception?

I'm order: clean it out thoroughly, put In a
glazed sash, stop up all the cracks, make-the
roof tight. give the inside sprinkling with
coal oil, then gather up. the hens and put
them in the house, feed them regularly and
with variety of feed, and see If the reward OF
your labor and care will not be ample. We
hope all of our readers who have success with
poultry will impart information OF their
methods and little successes to others through

The Duty of Giving -.- The Duty O1
Saving.

Our preachers and the religious press are
profuse in their advice to laymcn on the ne
cessity as we'll as the religious duty of "giv-
Ing" They cry "give," "glve," give" bui
never a word do we hear of the necessity OF
saving-saving something for ones own sell
In old age. Nor do we hear anything of the
sin Of wasting our time in idleness.
Instead of asking for the needed money
all sorts Of devices are resorted to for the
purpose Of levying tribute on the people foi
church purposes-and some of these methods,
to say the least, are of questionable propriety.
We have good authority for saying that he
who does not provide for his own family is
worse than an intidei. But has any preacher
or any religious newspaper eyer preached
from that text?
What this country needs-and it needs il
badly-is the individual prosperity of its cti-
zens. and they need to be taught and encour-
aged to lay by something to support them
selves In their declining years
IL should not be forgotten that one father
can more readily and more cheerfnlly render
the needed help to a dozen children, than q
dozen children can support an aged or intirm
father. The bread OF charity is not sweet. 1t
is full Of bitterness to him who eats it, and
the improvident citizen who does not strive
TO lay by something for old age, lays the
foundation for his own misery and unhappi:
ness In the last days OF old age. Irreverent
men have said that, "ho friend is so true, as a
dollar or two; and a noted man is reported
10 have said: "a man is more respected for
what he has, than what he has given away
Do not the frequent church-suppers tend to
demoralize our young men, and lead them in
to habits of extravaganza and wrecklessness
Is the example Of asking them many times
the worth Of the article offered, a good one?
Is 1t right, under any circumstances, to take
money without giving value received?
AS far as we are able to understand, we do
not know OF any reason which would warrant
q church committee in going outside of husi-
ness methods, even to raise money for any OF
the church purposes.
When people give to the church, let them
have both the satisfaction and the credit for
the act. Do not deprive him of due credit
by intimidating or otherwise requiring or eN-
pecting man to do foolish thing, whereby
he violates business methods and cuts him.
self off from the possibility Of getting any
credit for generous act
The church ought to be supported literally,
and every one should give in a direct way
and in an unmistakabl manner, aud not by
indirection.

Any owner Of farm need never be idle
for improvements can be carried on at any
time when other work does not require atten-
ton, and the more one improves his farm the
more he can raise and consequently the lar
ger will be his profit. TO be successful in his
business, farmer must have faith In 1t, and
not be afraid to invest n few dollars or little
labor where it will not give immediate re-
turns, but yet be sure of paying Interest at
no distant day. There ia no time In the year
when some improvement cannot be in prog.
ress on the farm, II time can be found from
other work that must be done. OF course
there Is q while in the year, when We arc
taking care of our crops, that Is not profitable,
perhaps, to do much in the line Of permanent
improvements
Tree planting Is an operation that can be
done both spring and fall: and perhahs no
improvement requiring so little outlay adds
so much TO the appearance ofa home as does

and ornament; also. let vines be planted In
all available places, not only Towering vines
of different kinds, but grape vines also, for

any fruit that is SO attractive to the eye or
mo-c inviting to the taste than the grape; and
they can be grown almost anywhere, requir-
Ing but very little room, as they can be trained

on stake.
