Most of us have been acquainted with per-
sons who took real pleasure in telling OF their

such diseases as mumps, measles, and whoop-

from which they had never fully recovered.

and nearly always had bad cold. III others

They seem to be proud Of the multitude OF
their affiictions and infirmities and TO cherish
the memory Of them.
1t Is doubtless proper at times to tell OF our
affliction that we may thereby sympathiZe
with and comfort others. But TO tell them In
this kind OF a begging for sympathy way, and
TO be SO continually telling them that our
friends expect wherever they see us to hear

wrong. There is no need for us TO infilct on
our friends all the Affections we have passed

to know these things and after they have
heard the story time or two 1t ceases TO be Of

The killing OF Lemmie Rapley.

We are unable to give the evidence Of the
coroner's inquest, and hence publish else
where the best account we can get of the kill
ing OF the colored woman, Lemmie Rapley.
All the circumstances seem to point TO a reck-
lessness and disregard Of human life which is
seldom equalled. While the air is full of ex-
aggerated reports as 10 the predeterminatiop
of Hearst to kill his mistress. we have
thought 1t best not to report the stories, be-
cause We are not sure that they have founda-
ton in fact. The enormity of the crime and
the total lack of provocation suggest the lack
of sound mind on the part Of the perpetrator
Of the shocking deed.
While we have nothing to say in extenua-
tion for the life which fallen women lead, yet
violence to these poor, unfortunate creatures
always excites sympathy. Being the most
pitiful Of all the human family it seems mex
pressibly brutal, and cowardly beyond all de-
gree Of expression, to maltreat them. With
out the sustaining countenance of any hu-
man being and without strong arm 10 pro-
tect them, the heart must be desperately
wicked and totally deprayed that would
strike q poor friendless woman whose only
hope and refuge is the grave.

Butler's Tactics.

Having been elected In former years to the
United States Senate under the registration
law, Gen. NJ. c. Butler now comes forward
and asks the Court TO restrain the State from
paying the expense OF the recent election on
the alleged ground that the registration law
Is unconstitutional, but, as we presume. for
the real reason that the Legislature will elect
B. r. Tillman as his successor.
Our people would not have beef surprised
If Republican had contested the registration
law, or any other law, but they we're hardly
prepared for the course which General Butler
pursues. He made no protest in former years
when he was elected under this same law to
which he now objects, with so much earnest
ness. He went into the campaign, knowing
that the election would be held under the
law. he submitted his chances to the people
and managed the campaign in his own way +,
and should now submit to the inevitable re-
suit as gracefully as he can.
