In this s,lection especially the writer
thinks Governor Lanham displayed
fiue Judgment, but it seems he has
displayed fine judgment in everything
he has done. But to spread the
drama a little and 60 over to the
Palmetto S ate and contrast at this
iunc.ure the lives of two Carolinians,
the one the Governor of Texss, the
other the retiring 1t. Governor OF
South CAROLINA. In doing 80 We
descend from the heights of glory to
the depths of degradation and shame.
I ON too far away from my native
land to be a competent judge of the
latter, and possible too near to be An
impartial fudge Of the former, but l
know what / know, and that is one il
a murderer, the other a noble nan.
When l look at one look with hu-
initiation and sorrow, when at tfe
other with pride and wonder. And
am sorry to hear of the untimely end
of the brilliant editor whom l knew
twenty years ago.
