CharlestOn's Blind Tigers.

The members Of the Legislature should read
the newspaper report Of the arguments be-
fore the Liquor Commissioners in reference
TO the blind tigers OF Charleston.
1t would seem to US that man who hat
been convicted Of violating any law, SHOULD
be ineligible to sit on q jury to try other
violations Of the same law.
The idea Of putting well known violators
OF the law on the jury seems repugnant to our
idea OF right.
AS the law now stands, and as long as the
city has Mayor like Smyth, or as long as he
may be employed as attorney, the city has
nothing to fear.
II South Carolina has more able citizen,
We do not know who 1t Is. While this news.
paper believes In the enforcem ent Of the law
in Charleston, and while we do not care what
measures may be necessary to enforce the
law, 1t is time for Charleston to cease think.
ing 1t is the State. We would ike to see the
old city acknowledge that she is amenable
to the law, and part Of the State, and not
claim to be the whole thing, yet May or
Smyth's able defense Of Charleston, and his
forceful presentation Of the wrong side OF the
question, commands our admiration. The
funny part Of It is, he puts on q serious look
and talks exactly like he would have rs be-
lieve that he is indeed earnest.

Murder Case.

yesterday afternoon was damaging to
the defense. A negro testified to CO.

the camp and stood there for short
time. Said he saw DR.. Harper and
four or five men in the house and DR..
Harper was putting a needle or some
thing like it into the sick mans eye.
He withdrew it, placed it in the eye
second time and withdrew it. This
was about IL O'Clock night. Negro
could not name any of the men in the

and what was done for sick mans re-
lief. A German, Pendorf, by name,
created stir among the attorneys on
his cross s-examination. Asked if he
believed in God, he said yes. To the
question if he had not argued with
men in camp that men had no souls.
he said he had stated some men had
no souls. Estimated that ninety-nine
per cent had souls. After lengthy
argument testimony was admitted for
what it was worth.
