Thursday and will Ee voted upon
Friday:
Where, war is now being wage6
by the Cuban patriots, for liberty,
home and country, and whereas, the
United States, for her kindly endeavor
in trying TO secure peace and autono-

Resolved, That the general assem-
bly, OF the state Of Kentucky that Cuba
is, and of right should be free and in
dependent, and to secure that end,
immediate steps should be taken by
our representatives in congress and
senator's to secure liberty and restore
peace; and forever renounce the right
of Spain to Govern said island.
'Be it iurtner resolved, That copy
of these resolutions be presented to our
representatives and senators in con

sense of the representatives Of the
commonwealth of Kentucky, further
delay is cowardly, and the time for
action has come.

into the car at Kingston with many
hesitating turns Of the head, and
when her big black valise and other
bundles had been piled upon the seat
in front Of her, she pushed back her
re6.striped shawl and looked out OF
the window with an air of content
ment.
The train had not proceeded many
miles, however, before she began to
tumble among her bundles in ner,

broke out IN mcst pittiful wall:

The passengers all looked sgmpa,
thizingly toward her. The kindly

her and said:

"Oh, Lord, cant bar it! Let ne

George Tillman in the Race.

George D. Tilman, of Edgefeld,
has given out to the press the follow
ing announcement:
To the Democracy Of South Caro-.
Ina:
Much more at the suggestion Of
others than by my own prompting, /
announce my candidacy for governor,
hon testify belle ing that the otiie seeks
the man, or else I would not have re-
cei7ed SO many letters urging NE to
run.
Manly candor also bids me to con-
fess that a sense OF duty as citizen
impels me to make the effort to reunite
the people of the State and correct
certain evils, which if done would re
suit in moro liberty and less taxation.
To achieve these ends l snail advo-
cate several measures that if adopted
would both siren gthen local self-goV-
ernment and reduce present annual
State and county taxes at least a
fourth-or say, half million dollars
without diminishing but positively
increasing the efficiency ef our gov
eminent. What these measures are
and argument IN support OF them, will
be discussed later on.
Ishall run as the candidate OF no
faction, no ring. no boss, but simply
on my own character as man and
record as q public servant.

Dangers of Vssrsncy.

In discussing The brutal murder of
Major J. Z. Marshall, at Chester, S.
c., recently by a vagabond Negro, the
Norkville Enquirer callsespscial atten-
ton to COZ dition OF affairs that is de-
serving OF the most searching enquiry.
The average individual, says the En-
quirer, unaccustomed tostudying con.
ditions around will him, naturally be
disposed to put this murder down as one
of those unfortunate circumstances
that are liable to occur at any time.
Not one in a hundred, probably, would
think Of tracing the tragedy to any
special defect in social conditions, or
oversight in the enforcement OF the
laws by the powers that be; but for the
real trouble we do not think it worth
while to hunt much further. There
is an old and true saying to the effect
that the devil is always quick to find
something fer idle hands to de-" The
significance of this saying has been
appreciated almost as far back as his
tory goes. Especially apt illustrations
are found in the habit Of wise generals
in keeping their soldiers at hard work
while not engaged in actual campaign
ing. A dozen cases might be cited
from ancient history; but a more
familiar example can be found in
Ssonewall Jackson. Many OF his long,
tiresome and seemingly unnecessary
marches, were intended more than
anything else, to keep his men en-
pioyed and cut of mischief. This
Negro, Anderson, the murderer of
Msior Marshall. the other day,
was one of the vsgabond class-one Of
those people who are always trying to
live without work, and who are so
common in all the towns. They
are of both colors. They are
not numerous, it is true; but they are
too numerous for the good OF the
community. We find him loa6ng
about Rock Hill for several days, and
his whole time, like most OF the 9th.
ers of bis class. had been spent, no
doubt, in looking for chance to steal
something. IRE same time and
thought spent at honest work. would
have probably paid him well. But
by men Ct his class honest work it
something that is thoroughly despised-
Subsequent developments in the case
were matter OF course. In our opin-
ION, this murder is directly traceable
to idleness-vagaborda dage More than
that, no town or city in the country is
threatened with more dangerous
menace than the vaba oonds by which
they are infested. There are statutes
to remedy this evil; but We know of
no town or city in this state which
has magistrates of sufficient intelli-
oence or backbone to enforce the law
Until, however, the laws against vaga,
bondage are 1lgidly enforced, there
can be no hope Of checking crime
in its in cipiency or protecting com
muuities from the recurrence OF such
crimes as that which was witnessed the
other day in Chester.

Hon. Patrick Walsh, of the Angus

the tables very neatly on two gold
