According to the New York OBJ
server, this is period of general
religious torpor: "There is no doubt
but that we live in period of gene
raj religious torpor. Some people
are inconsequence tempted to imag-
inc that, therefore, religion is out Of
date, and will finally pass entirely
from the thought and practice Of
men. Not at all. The religious in
stinot in humanity will reassert itself
in time. Perhaps, indeed, there are
cycles of religious feeling. Statistics
seem TO bear that opinion now. 1t
may be that we are now between
two flood tides of religious enthusi-
asm. 1t is now slack water, but it
may be that presently the tide will
begin to run flood again. High
water may come again in few
years. AT any rate, that is a hope
full view to take of the case, and il
we are to accomplish anything at all
as Christian workers we will need to
be inspired by the optimistic spirit.
So long as God is. we must believe
that things will get on, finally, by
His, help, and with a little human
help mixed in, too"

Hanglngs and Lmchings.

The Chicago Tribune prints "the dark
records of hangiDgs and lynchings" for
the year that has just ended. The for
mer, it says, "shows CLEAN of encour-
agement," but the "latter, in some re-
spects, is distinctly discouraging."
There were 118 legal executions during
the year against 119 in 1900 OF those
executed II were negroes, and AZ whites.
AS compared with 1900 the number of
negroes increased 13, and the number of
whites decreased IS, the figures for 1900
being negroes'59 whites 60. The South
had 80 of the executions and the North
36; in 1900 the figures were 80 for the
South and 80 for the North.
The crimes which led to these execu-
tions were: Murder, 1O7; criminal
assault, o; attempted criminal assault, 1;
train robbery, /. There were execu-
tions for criminal assault in 1900, and
the increase in 1901 suggests to the Tri-
bune that this crime in the South els
coming to be more and more punished
by the law" though the increase of
lynching for the year makes it difficult
to determine that fact.
The lynchings in 1901 numbered 1876,
as compared with 115 the year before, an
increase of 20, and II more than the
legal executions. OF the 1856, about
nine-tenths, or 12l, occurred liz the South
and Ia in the North, as compared with
107 in the South and 8 in the North in
1900 The increase in the North is
credited to California, Idaho, Montana,
Kansas and Indiana.
The number of negroes lynched in 1901
was 107, the same number as in 1900, and
36 more than the number executed in
1901. One Indian and one Chinaman
were also lynched. The principal crimes
which led to the lynchings were almost
the same for the two years, being 80 for
murder in each year; 10 for criminal
assault in 1901 and 18 In 1900.
The six Southern States which had
the largest number of mob murders in
1901, with tho number for each, were:
Mississippi, 16; Louisiana, 10; Alabama
Is; Georgia, Id; Tennessee, IL; Texas
IL. AS compared with 1900, Mississippi
showed a decrease of a, Louisiana of g.,
and Georgia of 2; and Alabama an in
crease of z, Tennessee of s, and Texas
of z.
South Carolina's record Is not nsiiii-
toned in the general review, but it had
only one lynching in 1901.
The comparative record of lynchings
aud hangings is, of course, the most
notable feature &c the exhibit. It shows
that more ''crimes OF violence" are com
mitted by professedly law-abiding men,
in tho name of justice, than are punished
by the Courts in the name of law. The
condition does no credit to our ciyiliza-
tion. News and Courier.

Is i Real Estate Or Personal Property

q
A lawsuit of an unusual nature has
been instituted by Mr.. J. T. Roberts
against County Dispenser J. TIC
Jones.
IS MIR. Roberts is suing Mr.. Jones fol
the sum of S12. The decision of the
case will.hinge upon the question oi
whether stable manure is real estate
or personal property.
Mr., Jones last year rented a house
and lot from Mr.. Roberts in the
northern part of the city and kept q
horse and COW on the premises. He
moved from the place few weeks
ago to another part of town, and
when he moved he carried with him
fourtwo-horse wagon loads of stable
manure to go on the garden at his
new place. Mr.. Roberts notified
him not to move the manure, but
Mr.. Jones thought he was entitled to
it and moved it anyway. Hence the
lawsuit. Mr.. Roberts is represented
by Attorney A. III. Dagnall. Mr.
Jones has not yet employed counsel.
While the case is a novel one it is
not without precedent. While the
South Carolina Supreme Court has
never rendered a decision in case
of this kind, several of the courts in
other States of the Union have de-
cisions in cases of this nature, and
the English courts also. The gene
raj policy of the courts has been that
stable manure in cities and towns is
personal property, while in the coun-
try it isreal estate-the presumption
being that in the country horse
gets its food from the land upon
which it lives, and therefore as a
matter of public policy the land
should not be robbed of that which
would maintain its productiveness
On the other hand the presumption
has been that in city or town the
owner Of a horse buys its food, and
therefore stable manure is personal
property and the tenant renting the
place can do what he likes with it.
A. great deal of very deep>legal wis
dom is involved, and the result of
Roberts VS.. Jones will be awaited
with interest. Anderson Daily Mail,

War on The rrusl

> s y =
G. Duncan Bellinger, Che able At
torney General of the State, has run
up against q bigger snag than the
Buford Bridge prosecutions. He has
encountered the great octopus that
has swallowed up the cotton seed oil
mills Of the State and the entire
South-a corporation with twenty
four million dollars behind it.
That the Virginia Carolina Chemi-
cal Company has violated the law Of
the State against trusts, no one can
doubt, but how to deal with it for
the violation is another question. 1t
is easy enough to denounce trusts /;
lit is altogether different matter to
control or prevent them. Here is q
corporation that has gobbled up more
than twenty cotton seed oil mills in
this State, has paid thh stockholders
for their shares and is now carrying
on the business. Suppose the trans
actions by which this company be-
came the owner of all these oil mills
should be declared by the courts null
and void the stockholders could not
be compelled to refund the money
received for their stock and resume
ownership of the mills. What then |?
Must the business stop
1t would be possible to impose
heavy fines on the trust corporation
if it could be convicted of violating
the law; but it would recoup its loss
by simply paying less for cotton
seed and by selling its products at a
higher price.
1t looks to us now that there is
nothing to be gained to the public
by prosecuting the trust Something
might have been accomplished, per-
haps, if injunotions had been OBJ
tanned against the Virginia Carolina
Chemical Company whenit was buy
ing up the oil mills. The buying
was talked about enough at the
time; it was a notorious fact, known
of courses to the officers of the State,
that this process of absorption was
going on, and all the difficulties of
attemptinga a remedy after the alb
sorption was complete might have
been foreseen. Then would have
been the best time to tackle the trust
and throttle il in its weakness. Now
it is SC, strongly intrenched that to
overthrow it, if such a thing is pos
sible, might do more harm than
good.
AT any rate the Attorney General
has tackled the monster and has
begun suit in the court at Aiken. He
has employed Ex.J Judge Hudson and
j. N. NathaDs to assist him, and is
asking the Legislature to provide the
sinews of war. So we may expect
to have litigation equal to the fam
ons Coosaw case of ten years ago,
when that octopus was SO effectually
throttled that the phosphate mining
business has never fully recovered. -

one obstacle oyereome.

Willie was a bright boy of an in.
ventiye turn of mind, says the
Youths Companion. At the age of
8 or 10 years heswas seized with the
aperpatnal motion" idea, and began
to make all sorts of queer machines,
despite the advice of his father, who
told him OF men who had devoted
Sneir lives to vain search for per-
petuai motion.
SIT violates the first principles of
mechanics, my boy" said the father.
"Action and reaction are equal, as
You will understand some day.
When you can pull yourself up by
your bootstraps you may have to
invent machine that will start
itself without stopping"
The next day Willie came to his
father in great excitement and told
him he had done it--had pulled him
self up by his bootstraps.
"It's no trick at all" be said, as
he led tho way to the barn, where he
showed his bewildered father a pair
of old boots nailed, soles up, TO a
beam overhead.
"Therei" he, exclaimed, as he
climbed on u box. reached np. ran
his fingers through the strops Of the
boots and pulled himself up. "What
do you think of that?''
Willie's father did not reply in
words. Instead, he took harness
strap, and then and there Willie
gave an imitation of perpetual mo-
tion which required no elaborate
apparatus.
