to put up the pistol, when Stephenson
shot him. Ewing was Il stranger In
Atlanta and no one claimed his body

Soon after the verdict was read,
Solicitor Hill stated to the court that
he wished to clear the character Of
the dead man. Ewing, of any imputa-

he said. was brought out in tile trial
that he had robbed Stephenson, IIe
said he desired To call the attention of
the court to these facts in fixing the

Attorneys Reuben Arnold and
Harvey Hill, for the defense, made
plea on behalf Of their clicnt,, asking
the court to be as light us possible.
Incy said Stephenson had wife and
daughter, the wife being an invallcd,

Chenpncss OF Human I,ifn.

Human life is too cheap in South
Carolina and unless a halt is called our

on the address Of Mr.. c. A.. Woods
before the Bar Association on carry.
ing concealed weapons last week The
News and Courier well says IF any
evidence were desired as to the spirit
Of violence which cOntr olS our people
it will be found in the cond llct OF the
lieutenant governor Of the state, the
second highest executive officer Of the
state. One moment clad i'm the robes
Of his office and presiding over the
senate Of South Carolina; tile next,
armed with two pistols, carried upon
his person in violation of the law,
shooting down an unarmcd man in
one of the main streets Of the capital
city Of the state, without giving him
the least chance to fight for his life.
One hour the president. OF the senate

duties, the next prisoner in the
county jail, awaiting the result Of the
injuries inflicted upon his defencelcss
victim. Can it be said any longer
that we are 'singularly free from
tendency to crimes or treachery and
deliberations" What incredible plea
Of selfdefencc' will be offered in this
case? Is the pocket pistol always to
prevail in South Carolina against tic
law? Is the mob in this state SO
powerful that it will net ALLOW the
courts even concurrent jurisdiction'
with 1t in the punishment of offenders
against the law? Hardly ANYTHING
is more valuable to a community
said Mr. Woods. than iii exalted
sense of personal dignity and self-re-
spcct; but 1t is manifest that public
sentiment, which for this excuse con
doncs the shedding Of human blood In
defiance OF the dignity and authority
OF the commonwealth, is producing a
lawlcss people. >" We agree with the
Columbia Record that Hno mans life
is safe in this state. 1t has become
SO now that it is not near so serious
an offence, in it's consequences, to kill
Il man as 1t is to steal n dollar from
him. In the former case not only is
no punishment nctcd out, but the
slayer becomes little less than hero
In his own eyes and in those Of a great
many citizens. 1t is a most fearful
condition, and the only remedy that
we can see is on the line suggested by

The Colunlbin Tragedy.

The shooting down or Mr.. n. G..
Gonzales by Lieut.. Gov. Tillman on
Main Street in Columbia on last
Thursday is a most deplora bic affair.
Not only has Il valuable life been
taken, but the shooting. having been
done by IL nigh State Official under
the circumstances it was. brings the
State again into disgrace. The cir
cumstanccs that led up to the awful
tragedy are pretty well known to the
people OF this State. Last August, it
will be recalled, Mr.. Gonzales was very
severe in his criticism of Mr.. Tillman,
who was then IL candidate for Cover
nor. Yet Mr.. Gonzales was not alone
in such attacks upon Mr.. Tillman and
his character. Other editors were
just aS severe in their denunciation,
If they we're not as vigorous and as
constant in their condemnation of
hm. Yet, perhaps, because Of the
long cnmity that had existed, Mr..
Tillman singled out Mr.. Gonzales as
tile object OF his resentment, and laid
at his door all the blame for the pub
lie expose of his deeds and character.
Had Mr.. Tillman resented at the time
these editorials were published the de-
nunciation of him, the people OF this
State would not have blamed him, for
llw or no law the people expect and
believe if Il mans character has been
publicly asSailcd that he should resent
it, but, as The Columbia Record SAYS,
he did not resent it and they came to
the conclusion that Tillman's boastcd
courage and bravery was q myth.
Their minds are in no way changed
by the dreadful event Of Thursday.
The people Of this State are brave
and true, fair minded and courageous
and believe i'm giving every man Il
fair show. Hence, for man five
months after the provocation, to draw
a pistol and fire upon the dcfcnsclcss
cause OF his anger without Il word Of
warning, they look upon that act us
assassination. No matter what their
feelings may be personally as TO the
man shot down, whether they nd
mircd or hated him, they cannot but
condemn with all the outraged indir.
nation their feelings can express this
terrible deed.

a New NIiIitfnI1nw

President Roosevelt has signed the
Dick military bill rcc:ntly passed by
Congress. The bill places the militia
under government supervision under
different conditions and regulations
than those now existing, without taxi
ing from them the authority of the
Governor. Although the President
has signed the bill, it will not atSsTct
the South Carolina troops until the
Lcgisl .turc ratitieS the act and the
Governor signs it. After this is done
the bill will become operative in this
State Th re was much opposition
to the bill In its original shape, but
many OF the generally obnoxious fra.
lures have been eliminated and the
.militiamcn generally over the coun-
try seem to favor the measure.
The adoption nf the measure means
the reduction Of the numerical forces,
but a greater efficiency Of the service.
The present status OF the State mill
tia will he changed and the standards
changed. The period OF enlistment,
which is now two years for the first
term and ono year each subsequent
term. iii South Carolina, will be made
three years. ~ better physical stand.
ard In officers and men will be re-
Quircd The troops will be armed by
the government and regularly inspect
cd by United States army officers
The standards, the same for each
State, will have to be kept up by The
companies and regiments.
The bill also provides that The com
panics shall have Il certain amount OF
camp service and practice marchc.
each year and provides fund out OF
which the expenses Of the encamp
ments will be paid. Another feature
OF the bill provides for rifle practice
Every company must have certain
amount of practice each year. In re-
turn for these things enlisted mcr
arc subject to the orders of the ma
tional government, through the Gov.
crnor, for service when necessity de-
mands. They may be used for repell
ing invasion, quelling mobs, and the
like, for Il time not exceeding nine
months. At the expiration Of thi!
time the men are discharged and may
reenlist If they SO desire. The govern
ment of the militia thus organized i
