The NIurderer's Bullet.

The man who kills another is apt to
shoot beyond his victim and hit the
heart of wife, a mother, sister, a
dependent child or somebody who
loved the slain even as the slayer loves
or is beloved by those who are dear to
him. What a shadow man must
bring upon himself when he Stays a
husband and father, the family bread
winner and thus bows an innocent
woman in bitter grief and takes from
helpless childhood the natural protec-
tor Of which it ever stands in need.
Not for all the gold in the world, nor
for all it's honors could braye-mlnd
ed, true-hearted man consent to do
such thing as this. What unspeak-
able folly it is for man to permit
brute anger, aroused over difference of
opinion, to lead him to murder. 1t is
more than folly. 1t is the entrance to
hell. TO the criminal habit or prac-
tice Of pistol carrying may be traced
most murders. The man who makes
a practice of going about secretly
armed falls short Of the measure OF a
good citizen. He is not only ready to
defy the law, be has already violated

A Word Of Advice.

The Columb a Record says "in view
of a very recent occurrence it would be
wise for all law abiding citizens while
walking on the principal streets of
cities and towns not to carry their
hands in their pockets lest some
known or unknown enemy shoots
them down upon their tracks. Writers
on department. say that carrying the
hands in the pockets is bad form any
way, and we take it that it is an ex-
ceedingly dangerous habit in South
Carolina also, Carrying the hands 'in
the pockets is done, no doubt, very
often to rest q tired arm or to warm
cold hands, but it would be much
more to the safety Of citizens if they
let their arms be weary or their hands
be cold, for who knows but that other
wise death dealing bullet IS ready to
be sent tearing thrt ugh ones vitals?
It might disarm ali suspicion if every
law abiding man when walking along
would holG up both hands to indicate
That he was unarmed, but this plan
would greatly retard lo;omotion and
would besides be very painful il at
tempted for a long time. The best
plan tLcn is to carry the hands open.

The State the day after the death Of
Mr.. n. G. Gonzales:
The knightly soul Of the brave man,
loyal friend and devoted brother whose
name has graeed these columns since.
the birth Of The State II years ago
has crossed the river and the paths

him no more. But along their ways,
from the seed he sowed, flowers are
blooming and the air he loved to;
breathe, the air Of his native State,
is sweet With the incense Of his noble
words and deeds.
To die for his State, even by the
loathly hand that struck him down..
was sweet to him. During the four
days of mortal agony that followed his
cruel Wounding no words save those
Of love and sympathy for his bereayed
kindred passed his lips. He died with
his face to God, a gentleman unafraid.
With heavy hearts his work is taken
up by those who loved hin, well, and
in his name The State is pledged anew
to the principles for which he gave
his life.

WILCOX GUILTY

The Judge Considered the Verdict

notice that an appeal will be taken to

II o'clock Thursday night that tide

them. This was done Friday morning
at s:30 o'clock.
In sentencing the prisoner, Judge
W. B. Council said in part:
THE jury have seen fit to returna

fendant took the life Of Miss -Cropsey
through malice, but without premedi-s
tation and deliberation. what pro-
cess of reasoning they arrived at this
conclusion it is not for me to say. e
regard their action, however, in the
light that they have been as charita-

it and resolved all doubt upon the 3:
