South Cardinals record of murders

South Cardinals record of murders
suicides and other crimes Of vio-
lence during the current week has
been something terrible. There has
passed hardly one day in the last
seven during which there was no
murder, suicide or bloody fight in
the state. We cannot but believe
that this lamentable condition is due
solely to the fact that the people have
but little respect for the law, and
none whatever for the clique of poll
ticians who, unfortunately, have Sc
cured control of the state 1t has
not been a great while indeed. since
the state officials set the people an
example in the employment of vio-
lence by arming gang of toughs
and instructing them to shoot whom
soever dared defend their homes
against the entrance of the toughs to
search for contrabaud liquor. a re-
ference to back files Of newspapers,
would doubtless show that there is as
much. or more, bloodshed in South
Carolina now than there was in the
famous and Infamous Ku-K!ak days
And South Carolina must elect a re.
spectacle and respectful administra-
ton before her affairs well ever be
improv oved.-Sauannah Nelcs.
