SKINNER WAS HERE.
Seven Feet and Four Inches and Grow,
ing Very Fast.

Last Wednesday a youth of % named
Skinner who is a drummer for a to-
bacco house was here. He was then z
feet 4 inches tall and looked as though
he were growing fast.
Wiley Willis who is 8 feet 8 stood by
him and his head reached to the drum
mer's shoulder. Uncle John Copeland
who is 6 feet s or @ glanced at him and
sneaked off home by a back street.
Skinner Is as slim as he is long. He
was born in Georgia. While here he
was viewed by the whole town. One
man suggested that 1t would a good
scheme to illuminate him at night with
electricity. He was truly the lankiest
man ever seen in these regions. He
WAS built up about four stories besides
basement and garnet. He was even
taller than some of the stories told in
the late campaign.
When Mr.. Skinner called at Capt.
Philpot's store it was funny to see the
Captain get his step-ladder and climb
up to shake hands. II the Captain had
slipped from the ladder and Skinner
had loosened his grip, he might have
been hurt.
The Railways in the hotels are u.s.
ually long enough for Mr.. Skinner to
lie down in.

This Reform Needed.

THE ADVERTISER Is indebted to one
of the best informed lawyers of South
Carolina for the suggestion that the
next governor and legislature should
take up the question Of pilotage at the
ports of the State. The rates of pilotage
are undoubtedly excessive and they
operate to drive m away. The
legislature has power to regulate the
pilotage laws. The subject ought to
be investigated at once. While the
seaport towns would doubtless be bene.
fitted by removing the pilotage barrier
to trade, the interests Of the whole
State are more or less at stake and the
reform should be accomplished regard
less of the ports. Harbors at Charles.
ton, Georgetown and Beaufort crowded
with ships would mean cheaper
freights and cheaper goods to all the
people. The claim that the existing
pilotage system In Charleston is out OF
date and maintained in the interest of
of o few individuals is believed to be
well founded,

OYerturesF for Peace.

Within q few days after the publica-
tiou of Mr.. II. G. Rhett's letters In the
News and Courier with regard to the
Southern Railways handling of cotton
and the freights into Charleston the
officials of the Railway Company has
tened to Charleston for a conference
with Mr.. Rhett and other business
men, including the representative Of
Inman 81 Co., the leading cotton buy
ing firm in Charleston. What will be
the result of the conference no one can
tell but the se%nsitiveness Of the cor.
poration to agitation is fully Illus
trated. Transportation companies are
always fearful of aroused public senti-
ment. They are peculiarly DESTROYS Of
popularity and they know veryiwell
that the power to make them 'behave
themselves" always rests with the peo-
pie. The Southern was quick to recog-
nize the menace to their interests in
volved in MIR. Rhett's charges and the
Southern is consequently making over
lures for peace. II Mr.. Rhett and his
friends will persevere in keeping the
facts before the public, IL they will
watch and promptly expose any unfair
play on the part of the Southern, even
that great corporation will be COM
PEELED to "to the mark" Of course II
1t should be proven that Mr.. Rhett has
no case agitation will fail but so far his
allegations have not been satisfactorily
answered.. The people OF South Caro-
lima are fully able to take care of them
selves whenever their cause is just,
strong as the Southern Railway may
be. They may be depended upon to
pull together If they are properly and
fully informed.

Verdict was Not Illogical.

The verdict in the Walker Edwards
case has been criticised by q number of
newspapers, among them the Newberry
Observer, whose opinion is worth
something:
"The other case was that OF Walker
Edwards, tried in Laurens for killing
his wife. In that case no one was
present except the deceased, the de-
PENDANT and their sleeping infant, The
testimony of the defendant was that
the woman shot herself. The jury
brought in a most remarkable and in
consistent Observation-Disclosures with
recommendation to mercy. There Is
only one way that such a verdict could
be reached, aud that is by compromise.
There was no possibility of there hav-
ing been technical manslaughter-it
was murder or nothing"
AS already pointed out in The AID.
vERTISER, the verdict was far from un-
reasonable. The jury was satisfied
"beyond a reasonable doubt" that Ed
wards killed his wife. A faint doubt,
however, remained and the evidence
saw the woman shot. What took place
between Edwards n his Vile before
the killing nobody knows. Meanwhile
the States testimony as to motive was
vogue and fragile. The jury felt justi-
fed, in the absence of contrary evil
dence, to assume that the shot was
fired during o sudden quarrel, which
would make the crime manslaughter.
Deliberation was certainly not proved.
Therefore, in our Judgment, the ver-
dict of manslaughter was no means IL
logical. This being the case, the re-
commentator to mercy was a matter
of small consequence and if those jury
men who favored the manslaughter
verdict prevented a mistrial by conced-
ing 80 trivial a point, they undoubtedly
did well.
