THE CRIME OF MURDER.

Whether or not il be true, as l.,
claimed by the optimistic, thai
drunkenness is being reduced in
South Carolina, it is a lameEtable
fact that crime. and particularly
the crime OF murder, is Oh the IN
crease 10 50 alarming extent.
Every year swellS the number OF
homicides in the State, and the
punishment of . murderer is as
rare as the CRIME is frequent. The
blood Of hundreds OF victims cry
ont in vain for justice and their
HurdeTers walk the earth nnmo-
lested. How long shall this thing
be suffered? 4 man goes out in
;he morning quietly attending to
lis business and before nig.t for
come iancied affront falls before
tne deadly play Of the ever ready
pistol.
Each year the legislature, re-
alizing that the saneuinary blot on
the fair name OF the State grows
larger, attempts 10 enact more
stringent laws against the carrying
Of deadly weapons. Bat the re-
cult is not encouraging. There
are already laws enough against
crime. The trouble is that they
are rot eriorcei. The French
have proverb 10 the ELECT Thai
the absent are always wrong. So
1t is with The victim of murder
cr's rage. "Deai men tell no
tales" and Gurbid Sen,imentality
and a too sympathetic Jury do the
aeSt. Between Il Skillful lawyer,
an inpressionable jury and exec
utlve clemency the odds are about
three to one that The slayer OF his
fellow man escapes the penalty OF
ms crime.

himself of some ideas which were not
anticipated from the platform of a de-
nominational institution. He criticised
the attitude of the present day church
in such a way as to scall down upon
himself the criticism of the university
authorities. Owing to his excellent
standing previously he will probably not
be subjected to discipline. Following is
the paragraph of his GRAFTON which was
most severely condemned
The church retards civilization. be-
cause it clings too closely to history.
Every thought that is brought forward
that does not conform to history Is
crushed by the church by the weighty
evidence Of past centuries. The preach
er in the pulpit dare not originate an
idea, he must conform u his particular
creed Independent thinking is almost
completely crushed in the church Oc-
casionally a preacher is great enough,
strong enough, grand enough to stand
by his own innate beliefs even tho
they conflict with the established creed
or religion. He is usually tried for
heresy, with the same fauaticism that
characterized the trial of Martin Luth-
er or the trials of the Spanish inquisi-
ton. The man who does not think for
himself has lost his God given power
to originate anything and sinks TO the
level of the brute"

Webster City, June 14.-Mrs Frank
Prestly. with her little daughter one
year old, was poisoned yesterday in a
manner which came near terminating
their lives. on going to work in the
morning the husband ordered some but
ter, which was soon delivered. AT
about 10 o'clock the mother spread a
piece of bread which she shared with
the baby Soon after eating both be-
came violently i'll and doctor was
called. He made hurried examination
and pronounced it case of poisoning
by arsenic. The patients are still! suf-
fering from the experience, but it is
thought they will soon recover. The
theory advanced is that the poison was
in the butter. where 1t may have been
placed with coloring, or that the cream
had stood in an open jar and rats, after
eating poison, had gone to che crock
and left sufficient amount there to
cause the trouble.
