Train No. So the Southern fast mail,
which left Charlotte at II o'clock Sunday
night crashed into three runaway box
cars one mile north of Spartanburg, 5.
c., yesterday morning shortly before 2
o'clock. Fireman B. Simpson, was
instantly killed and several other

Three freight cars from unknown cause
got loose on the main line one mile

ing through the yard at the Southern
depot while the operator and others
stood helpless. Realizing the danger
which was impending, in desperation
the operator wired TO Gowpens to hold

nearing Spartanburg. The box cars
tore down the grade at terrific speed,
crashing into the fast mail one mile from
the depot. The engine, two freight cars,
and a mail car were completely wrecked.

the ears, finally rolling down fifteen
foot embankment. One of the three

A SAD CITY COURT PRACTICE.

There is common practice in the
police court of Pine Bluff by which
persons we'll known are fined under as
sumed names. 1t is a matter of ser
ious doubt as to whether or not the
practice is to be commended in any
instance. However there may be times
when respectable citizen unavoid-
ably becomes involved in a matter
that brings him into police court, and
he naturally shrinks from the nOtorie-
an instance there may be some eX-
cuse for allowing the defendant to
register on the docket under an as
sumed name for the purpose of con-
cealing as much as possible the fact
from the public that the defendant
had been arraigned in the city court.
The Graphic doubts the wisdom of
such policy even under circumstances
similar to those mentioned and it
knows that there is absolutely no eX-
euse at all for it in many instances in
which it is done in the city court.
# there can be any reason for per
hitting young man to be fined
under a fictitious name on the charges
Of drunkenness and disorderly conduct,
ts:en the Graphic wants to know that
reason. if there is anybody connected
with the city court who can give it.
Young men who are accustomed to
getting drunk most any day in the
week. and who occasionally paint the
tNw2 a lllid hue when they get well
Jagged. are sometimes arrested and
locked up by the police. They are az
r2iened in police court and fined un-
de- fictitious names. In course OF time
il becomes generally known that they
were arrested locked up and fined
but when an effort is made to fnG
Their names on the police court docket
they are not to be found. There are
Instances CT this k nd of concealment
Of young men guilty of drunkenness
and disorderly conduct who are un-
worthy of any consideration at the
hands Of the law. This Kind of favorit-
ism has been shown TO young men
who need to be cowhided once or twice
a week for their brutal conduct at
their homes, for their outrageous treat
ment of mothers and sisters. When
young man gets so low in the scale
OF humanity as to strike his mother
then be needs to be soupdly thrashed
Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1902-09-04

and sent to the convict farm on an I'M
the mother who bore him. He needs to
be under a master that would thrash
some of the meanness out of him.
OF course the Graphic does not want
to be understood as saying that the
officers of the police court have shield
ed any scoundrel charged with strik-
ing his mother by permitting him to
have his fine entered on the docket OPP
posite fictitious name, but it does
say that they have thus screened fell
lows on other charges, who are guilty
of brutal acts towards their mothers
and sisters.
The court only lends its influence to
young men to continue in their petty
acts of lawlessness by thus conceal
ing them from public gaze. Law is
intended to deter people from doing
enforcement of the law against small!
offenders is full publicity Of the cases
in The courts. Those who are assessed
small fines in the city court for petty
Gffenses. care nothing for the fines.
but it is the exposure to public gaze
they fear, and if they fully realized
that their escapades which get them
into the police court would be given to
the public along with their true names.
there would be fewer cases of drunk
enness and disorderly conduct, fewer
LEFTY in many instances is more dread
ed than the punishment inflicted by
the law. and this is always true of
the minor offences which come before
the police court.
The court has no right to practice
fraud and deception on the public, and
an injustice is done the offender when
the court permits him to be fined UNI
der fictitious name 1t licenses him
to commit the offenses again, as the
court itself will give him that protec-
ton which the law does not intend
that he should have.
Let the officers of the police court
turn over a new leaf and refuse in
future TO shield petty offenders, and
It will be only short time before the
good results may be seen in the fewer
cases on the docket for petty offenses
Publicity will do the work.

system. For if these appointments
wee all political the civil service
would consist primarily of a great
army OF the partisan nencnmen OF the
president most of whom would give
nttle thought to their official duties.
Their neglect would make an increase
of the force necessary, and even with
the increase the vast business would
be administered far less efficiently
than it is now.
Furthermore. it is obvious from the
results already attained that the prin-
ciples of the merit system should be
observed to the furthest possible limit
But that this has been reached no one

HOMICIDE IN AMERICA.

London there are annually on the av-

Washington correspondent of a

secretary of a Republican senator,
whose name is not given, from which
and other sources of information, he
concluded as follows: "Roosevelt' S

has held his head high. ordering this

the full dictatorship over the army,
pretending to settle for once and all

senator's secretary contrasted this
course with that of Mckinley in rela-
ton to matters of party dispute and
predicted that there would be no flu
