veaugeful, aud without pity-death at

good for him. But such deaths are
relics of barbarism and should be re]e-

Beats the Record.

Simon Cooper, negro, killed anoth
er negro in Sumter on Emancipation
Day One day last week he shot
and killed two white men, one young
white woman, and negro. The
people in great numbers pursued
him He was found in a cabin, sur
rounded, and fired upon. The fire
he returned with a Winchester Rife,
but hurt no one on this occasion
On promise of protection he sur
rendered-came cut of the house
and submitted to arrest A razor
and pistol were foundin his pocke is
He was soon wounded by pistol
shots. and afterward swung to tree,
when his body was riddled
These, we believe, are about the
facts. HIS crime was without a
parallel in bloody deeds The peo-
pie we're justly aroused, and nobody
ever thought for moment that any
self respecting people would fail to
slay him as soon as he was caught
He deserved all that he suffered He
should have been shot on sight, the
same as if he had been ravenous
wild beast
But the fact that some one prom
ised protection to this creature, if he
surrendered, has given the pretext
for virtuous indignation that so crue
a monster met his deserved fate
If that promise had not been given
and it is pity that it was given
and he had held out little longer he
may have satisfied his friends ard
sympatbsers by shooting some of his
pursurers
We find it hard to believe that
there is man on the face of the
earth who, in his heart of hearts, be-
lieves that a 6end like Simon Cooper
ought to have been taken to Jail. Is
there community in this country
which would not, under similar cir
cumstsnces, have killed man for
tie commission of deeds like those
of Simon Cooper
Tie time has passed in this coun-
try when it is necessary to denounce
justi6abIe lynching, with any idea OF
conciliating or appeasing Northern
sentiment We cannot believe that
there is a self respecting community
in the North that would not have
slaiu Simon Cooper. The peace and
safety of the community demanded
his death, and this newspaper has nc
apology to offer Northern sentiment
because the men of Sumter defended
their homes.-Abbevile Press and

A Famous Eulogy.

Of all the eulogles in literature
there is none more beautiful than the
following upon Gen Robert E Lee.
1t fell from the silver tongue of that
eloquent Georgian, Senator Benjamin
Fl He'll, and is said to have been ex
tempore "When the future histori-
an comes to survey the character of
Lee he will fod it rising like huge
mountain above the undu'ating plain
of humanity, and he will have to lift
his eyes high toward heaven to catch
it's summit He possessed every
virtue of the other great commanders
without their vices He was a foe
Without hate, friend without treach-
cry, a soldier without cruelty, and a
victim without murmuring. He was
public officer without vices, phi
vate citizen without wrong, neigh
Dor without reproach, Christian
without hypocrisy, and man with
out guilt He was Caesar without
his ambition, Frederick without his
tyranny. Nepoleon without his selfish
ness, and Washington without his
reward. He was obedient to author
ity as a servant and royal in authority
as true king He was as gentle as
a woman in life, pure and modest as
a virgin in thought, watchful as a
Roman vestal in duty, submissive to
law as Socrates and grand iii battle
as Achilles :"

ing fund commission is a public ne
cessity. it is proving an expensive
luxury to this same public The re
port of the agent for 1895 covered
l32 pages. Much of this report is
rule and figure work which costs one
price and two thirds.
elf the agents of this commission
had given the legitimate work of this
department the attention given to
the tax department, the items report
ed for 10 to 20 years in the annual
report of this department would have
been investigated and eliminated.
County lines have been changed
eight or ten years. and these stand
as assets of old counties belonging
to this fund.
.sTbe continued annual printing of
these items has cost already more
than ali the alleged assets are worth
Most of this report is rule and figure
work and costs two thirds more to
print than other printing, and costs
for report and reports and resolutions
estimated not less than $500 per an
num-for ten years less than average
time printed-would be $4,000 This
Office insists that such legislation as
permits interference with the tax de-
partment of the State and the neglect
of such matters as the above is at
fault and should be revised -
Speaking of the Sumter muddle,
he says:
81 am sorry to be obliged to say
that neither the statements of Mr.
A w. Suder or Capt N w. Brooker
present any satisfactory or intelligent
facts for the proper conclusions of
any tax officer, and that their figures
are practically worthless Examina-
tions of the accounts of county Of
fials. the receipts and disbursements
arising from taxation and other public
sources which do not give year by
year total charges aud credits for
each fiscal, year, showing how.
where aud when shortage occurred,
are not satisfactory and never relied
on, aud only tend to confuse and con-
found the accounts of these officers
in the popular mind.
The grand jury of Richmond
county gives this department another
report peculiar to itself
'.This presentment was evidently
inspired by the same influences
which gave the public the one refer
red to from Sumter
"There lucks beneath the surface
a manifest desire to lsud the work of
some and damn that of others Grand
jury presentments, written by field
agents of the sinking fund commits
sion, stenographically translated by
the tax department, means 80 per
cent in our pockets and 90 per cent
for publice accounts, with more
legislation for fields new and pastures
green This report raises doubts
and causes rules served on officials,
bus gives no intelligently connected
facts or results cf their examination
of the affairs of Richland county
IF your honorable bodies will
provide for US the funds necessary
for such work. we will have the
whole matter thoroughly investiga-
ted, and, if wrong has been done
have the responsibilities fixed and

informed"
