the reason why justice fails in
the South oftener than at the
North may be attributed to the
fact that in the South the popu-
lation is all one family, everybo-
dy is connected by blood or mar
riage in some way OF another,
and at the North the population
IS represented by all Of the ma
ions of the earth, and everybody
is a stranger. If a man commits
a crime in any county in South
Carolina, that man would be
poor indeed if half Of the county
was not related to him in some
way, and blood being thicker
than water, and popularity often
more to be sought than con
science, law fails in its operation
and justice is defeated. At the
North and West it is different,
the people not being bound by
any ties of the relationship can,
and do try cases upon their mer-
it's, with view that in uphold
ing the law, justice is dealt out
evenly to al classes. We hope
the same condition will exist in
the South in time.

We believe the method of
drawing juries in this State is a
humbug, and tn legislature
should so amend the jury law
that packed juries would be i'm
probable. The name Of every
qualified citizen should be placed
in the box, before every court,
and the jurors drawn publicly.
Under our present system there
is great room for favorites of Off
Gals being drawn, but if the en-
tire citizenship Of the county was
placed in the box for every court,
and the drawing was made pub
lie, the chances are that many
good citizens who escape jury
duty, would be drawn. Some
thing must be done, or our
courts will become disruptable
and law will be overridden by
anarchy,

A WRONG PLEA.

A white man in Bennettsvllle
a few days ago shot his wife
while she was sitting up in bed:
and then cut some FIVE or six
gashes in her throat, and when
arrested he claimed the killing
was accidental" If this man be-
longs to an influential family we
would suggest that he ask for a
change of venue and have his
case tried in Lexington; it will
be dangerous to him to be tried
in Marlboro, as that hard-headed
Scotch element will not be easily
persuaded to accept the 'accl-
dent theory but if he can get
his case tried in Lexington and
can get some one who was a
stranger to his wife to swear the
first time she saw him she con-
fded to him threat that ''if her
husband ever batted his eyes at
her she would I'll him with more
lead than he can tote off," he
then can change his plea to
s:self-defense," and the Judge
might charge the jury, when
the wife was sitting up in her
bed she looked at her husband.
and from that look they believed
he thought himself in danger of
losing his life, or of receiving
great bodily injury, it would be
self-defense.'' The jury, how
ever, must believe beyond a rea
sonable doubt the man who fred
the shot and used the knife be-
lieved himself in danger. and to
help thssFh shaping their be-
lief they have the right to take
into consideration the curtain
lectures the wife gave her nus
band SIX months before the kill
ing. The jury must also give
weight to the uncontradlcted
statement of the mans claim the
killing was an accident" be-
cause there were no eye wit.
nesses, the only evidence being
the dead wife, the gun-shot
wound, and the several gashes IN
her throat. The unfortunate
creature will fare badly in Marl-
boro, and our sympathy for a
man who has such a fearful sac
cident'' to befall him, makes us
suggest a change Of venue to
Lexington.

The press throughout the I'm
ion is devoting much space lee
turing South Carolina about law
lessness, and it is but true to con-
fess our failure to have our laws
evenly executed, but at the same
time, South Carolina is not the
only State where the law is not
enforced. The very newspapers
that are lecturing South Carolina
will find a good field for their
missionary work at home. If
they will sweep before their
own doors, they will do well.

Editor The Manning Times:

It was our pleasure a few Sundays
since to listen to a strong, forceful and
spiritual sermon, delivered in Pine
wood Methodist church, by the Rev.
n. J. Brown, who has been preaching
for us for more than fifty years. He has
been a true and faithful worker in the
Masters vineyard, trying to lead others
into the light Of spiritual salvation, and
for this service he never asked any help
financially from his congregation, but
wrought daily with his OWL hands, and
preaching on Sunday, and would often
walk to his appointments. He is
now in his 18th, year, and too aged to
work any longer, and nearing the quick
sands of time. and according to nature
cannot be with us much longer at best,
SO let us, the readers of this article give
something to this faithful minister OF
the gospel. Let US all give as we have
been given, then he shall have Doun-
tiful Thanksgiving offering.

 ity-Will Go Again
 Today.

New York. Sept. 2.-The fourth attempt ko sail what was expected to be the con- eluding race between the Shamrock III and Reliance failed miserably today. They were not even sent across the line.
 Both boats were lowed out to Sandy Hook Lightship in a dense fog and flat calm at 1o:30 a. m. and then waited two hours in the hope of a wind from some other direction than the East to blow away the fog and give them speed enough to cover thirty miles within five and a half hours. The dwindiing fleet was re- Siuced to just twenty-three craft. Besides the New York Yacht Clubs tugs the rev enue cutters and the newspaper fleet there was only one excursion steamer and a few yachts.
 At 12:3o o'clock the attempt was aban- doned and announcement made that an- other would be made tomorrow.
 Soon after the start homeward the wind for the first time since the middle of last week shifted from easterly to south and began to breeze an indication that the long easteriy fog muir was breaking and tomorrow might give the yachts the long deferred opportunity ot going through the formality of sailing the third and probably conclusive race

Criminality in Anthracite Region
 Excitss Suspicion.

New York. Sept. @.-Contnued crimi- nality in the anthracite coal field of Northern Pennsylvania has not only aroused a feeling of insecurity among the residents of the poorly protected mountain districts. but the authorities are becoming very much puzzled over the mystery surrounding the numerous murders committed there, according to special dispatches from Tamaqua.
 The coal and iron police and detec- tives declare that the spirit of Molly Mcguire Brotherhood is as strong in certain localities as during the early seventies, when crime was rampant throughout the coal fields.
 From the mystery surrounding several unprovoked and bloody tragedies in Lu- zerne. Columbia and Lackawanna coun- ties, 1t is believed that some bound organization is responsible for the crimes. The police of Columbia county have already arrested several suspects.
