The Editor and tho Preaol,er

An exchange says q preacher came
at u newspaper man in this way:
You editors do not tell the truth. If
you did you could not live; your news
papers would be a failure.'' The edi-
tor replied: ''You are right, and the
minister who will at all times and un.
der ar circumstances tell the whole
truth about his members, alive OF
dead, will not occupy his rnlpit more
than one Sunday, and t ! he will
find 1t necessary to leave town in a
hurry. The press and the. pulpit gt

pen and the gravestone are the great
Saint-making triumvirate. And the
great minister went away looking
very thoughtful, while the editor
turned to his work and told OF the
surprising beauty Of the bride, while
in fact she was as homcly as mud
fence.

No Bank Examiner,

The Columbia Record says the gov
crnor, secretary Of state, attorney
general, comptroller general and state
treasurer have decided that no state
bank examiner could be appointed un-
der the present act, owing to its de-
licicncicS. The board was in session
for Il considerable time on the matter
about which several letters have been
written TO the governor. AS the law
was interpreted, however, the board
decided that there was no fixed
method by which the banks could be
assessed equally and no method OF
collecting the assessment by the re-
spectiyc county auditors The act is
very general in its nature, simply pro.
viding for the appointment Of an eX-
amIncr, at Il salary Of 81 800 per an
mum, and was passed in 1897. All the
other administrations let the matter
<" by and the legislature has never
taken it up again. Tie many dc
ticicncjcs In the act will he shown by
the attorney general, who is prcpar-
ing review Of 1t, and the legislature
will have its attention called to these
to remedy or not as it sees fit.

BEGGED IN VAIN FOR HIS LIFE
Green Fired in Cold Blood Upon the
Dying jew Pcddler.

Dying Jew Pcddler.
A gentleman from Aiken who was
in the city Monday states that the
killing of Surasky, the. Jew pcddler,
was a more dastardly piece of business
than it has been reported and the
publiscd statements we're shocking
enough in themselves. 1t is told in
Aiken that the pcdder was shot down,
but not killed Immediately, and that
he begged piteously for his life. His
answer was another load OF shot,
bringing death to end his agony.
1t is claimed that eyewitness can
be produced who will corroborate this
statement. The man, George Toole.
who was placed under arrest, is in dan
ger of serious trouble, but it is claim.
cd in his behalf that he had nothing
to do with the assassination, that his
only guilt is in not communicating tC
the officers Of the law the news that
he had found the dead body and 1t was
fear of Green which prevented Toole
from reporting the matter.
Green is Il desperate man. Ills
brother is said to have been a bad
man, and WAS tried for killing his own
brother in-law, 81 man named MCLEAN.
Governor Hayward has offered a re-
ward for Green's capture.
This dastardly murder occurred near
the Georgia line, a long ways from
the Chinqucpin section of the county
which was the scene Of bloodshcd but
a few days ago.

SOME PLAIN TALK
In Speech bryan Calls Cleveland
nPIain Bunco steerer.

| at Urbana, Ohio, four leading
Democrats opened the Ohio campaign
"Wednesday, two weeks in advance Of
the Democratic State convention.
William J. Bryan had been engaged
to address the Urbana Chauteuaua
assembly Wednesday afternoon and
the Democrats OF Champaign county
held their convention on the Chautau-
gu grounds during the forenoon, at
which addresses were made by Mr..
Bryan, Jno. =. thinner OF Springfield,
! Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland
and ex-CongreSSman John J. Lentz IF
Columbus. The addresses all attract
ed attention because of the direct re-
fcrences to certain men as well as to
policies on which there are differences
within the party. Bryan referred tc
ex- President Cleveland repeatedly.
MIR. thinner referred to the fathers
or Democracy and the eternal prin-
ciPles of tho party. Then came Mayor
Johnson and cx-CongrcSSman I4entz
In emphatic declarations that this was
no time for dead issues"
The "keynotes" OF tile last two
speakers were nos in accord with
those OF Sir. thinner, wi ose managers
has secured the Champaign county
delegates for the nomination before
Mayor Johnson reached the tabernacle.
This is Mr.. Zimmer's home counsy
and the convention stood 13O to SO for
thinner.
Mr.. Bryan received the greatest
ovation when he said: "The Demo
Gratis In 1892 played confidence game
on tho people and put bunco stccrer
at the head Of the party. 1 want to
say to you, my friends, that the dis
reputable man who stands on the
street curblng and leads the unwary
traveller into q game where he losses
his money, is respectable compared
with the man who accepts the suirrages
of five millions of people and then
leads them into Wall street TO be
betrayed.
Don't be deceived when they tell
you it was the silver question that
drove people out Of the party.
Those who left the Democratic
party are divided into two classes-
those who left because they under
stood the issue III the campaign and
those who left because they were
deceived In the issue Of the cam
paign. Those who understood the
Issue and left because they under
stood it can never return to the party
until they repent and show that their
hearts and sympathies are changed.
The fight Will continue in this country
until one side or the other is trium-
phant."
He said he had more respect for a
Republican than for any one calling
himself a Democrat "who would put
h's principles on the action block or
into junk shop" "
= ne speech s5Or Mayor Johnson was
accepted as Indicating that he was a
prospective candidate for Senator
Hanna's place
Mayor Johnson intimated that If he
ran for governor his platform would
be reduced fares on all railways, in ad-
dition to his well known views on tax
alton.
