The GreenyiIle Verdict.

The Anderson Daily Mail comments
as follows upon the verdict of Green
vile jury:
''Eyery time We attempt to make a
compromise with justice we make a
mistake. The verdict in the Gunnells
case in Greenyille was woeful mis-
take. If the man is insane he should
have been sent to the State hospital
in Columbia without the conviction
under criminal charge hanging oveE
him. If he is not insane he should
have been given a straight conviction
and sentenced to be hanged without
delay. There is no reason or Justice
in a compromise verdict
The princi pie laid down by our coz
temporary is correct, but the facts do
not Justify the conclusion reached.
There was no compromise in the Gun
nells case, but a strict adherence to
the law and the evidence. The pris--
oner was convicted upon the second
count in the Indictment. because there
was no testimony upon which to bring
in a verdict of guilty on the first
count. Our neighbor did not have &C
curate information upon which to
form a judgment, and hence its refee-
tion upon the jury that tried Gunnells
is unjust and unwise, which Ne are
sure it will be glad to withdraw

The Riots in Gonlel, Russia.

Gomel, Government of Mohiley,
Russia, Monday, Sept. 21.-The As
sociated Press correspondent has made
an investigation on the spot of the
"Pogrom, as the Russians describe
the Anti-Semite riots which occurred
here on September IL, and we're re-
newed for several days. The riots
were smaller, but perhaps more re-
markable, than those which took place
at Kishinef, because the police and
military openly sided with the plum
derers and murderers, the "Pogrom-
shiks,'' as the Russians call them.
The troops, supported by many educat-
ed and well-to-do Christians, formed a
movable shield, behind which the
"Pogromsihks" ruthlessly demolished
the Jewish homes and shops and
cruelty dubbed such Jews as fell into
their hands, leisurely proceeding from
street to street and district to district
as they did so.
The commerce and industry OF
Gomel, which is considerable, is
largely in the hands of the Jewish
population, numbering 26, 600. Few OF
the residents and wealthy, but none
are paupers. The Jewish artisans in
cline to socialism.

Sir William Willcocks, the we'll
known British expert on irrigation
and late director general of the irriga-
tion works in Egypt, now proposes to
restore ChaIdea to its ancient produc-
tiveness and glory by means of irriga-
tion. The Tigris river bears much
the same relation to Chaldea that the
Nile does to Egypt and might be made
now as it undoubtedly was in ancient
times, the great resource of the coun-
try. Bagdad lies about 500 miles up
the Tigris, and from 1T to the Persian
gulf spreads desolate barren country
which was one of the most fertile dis
tricts in the East. At Opis, on the
banks of the Tigris, once the wealth.
lest mart of the East, are the ruins of
the mouth of the great Nahrwan canal,
which fertilized an area Of 4,600
SQUARE miles. The Tigris was gradu-
ally diverted from its old bed, the
mouth of the canal silted up and the
country became desert. It would re-
quire an outlay of $40, 900, 600 to re-
claim about 1880, 900 acres of the best
of this land, which would, according
to Sir William Willcocks, produce a
rental of S19, 200, 900.

and ran forward TO shake hands with
Commissioner General Frank 2. Sar-

secret service men, however, that the

Exempt from Charges.

Columbia. Sept. 21.-Answering ar
inquiry Of DE-. S. G. Baker, secrstary
of the State medical examiners, Attor-
ney General Gunter states that the
graduates of the Medical College of
the State were exempt from all charges
for their licenses and all charges incl
dental to these certificates, such as the
payment Of fees for recording the
same. The Attorney General stated
in his letter that the statutes were
rather mixed on this question, but his
view Of the law is that the graduates
of the Charleston Medical College are
exempt from examination by the State
board, and also exempt from the pay
ment of fees to this board.

scription to the masses and AFFORD
them an opportunity to back up theil
opinion with money.
"I remember years ago northern
city decided to erect a building at 6
cost of $500, 900 for exhibition pur.
poses. This was large sum of money
for a small city, but by active and
earnest work the matter was taken in
hand and by popular subscription, tc
which the ministers, bankers, bakers,
butchers, storekeepers, clerks, ser
wants, hucksters, draymen, and all,
subscribed their mite. so that in short
time the building was an accomplish
ed fact.
"I am sure the citizens Of South
Carolina can and will do the same il
the opportunity is presented.
sSouth Carolina has had for years
prosperity and the prospects for future
Developments were never brighter than
now. It is acknowledged by all that
South Carolina wants and invites
capital and labor and nothing can dc
more to interest both of these in the
resources of the State than proper
representation made by an exhibit.

be we'll represented and there would
be much disappointment if South
Carolina is not. !"

KING EDWARD TAKES 4 HAND.
Exercises His Right to Select His
Cabinet.
He is Using His Frerogatiye to an
Extent Never Dreamed of in
the Victorian Era.

London, Sept. 23.-The political
crisis has taken on phase which
lends to the present situation his
torical and constitutional Importance
of almost unprecedented interest. The
king has interferred not ucnonstitu-
tionally of beyond the powers vest
ed in the crown, but in the exercise
of his prerogative to an extent never
dreamed of in the Victorian era.
Premier Balfour's continued pres
ence at Balmoral has given rise to much
surmise and comment, but the Asso-
ciated Press is unable to state def
nitely that it is due to the kings de-
termination not to assent to the for
nation of a new cabinet until thor
oughly satisfied that its personnel and
combination are such as to ensure the
efficient carrying on Of the affairs of
the empire pending the resumption Of
parliament. For years previous cabi-
nets were formed and ministerial va
cancies filed with the mere formal
presentation to the sovereign Of the
names Of the new ministers. King
Edward has done away with this ira
dition. He has spent the last few
days in constant discussion with Mr..
Balfour as to the advisability from the
point of view of the national welfare
of the latter's suggested appointments
Ministers now holding Office and those
nominated for Office have been sum-
1noned to Balhnoral to join in these
conferences.
To such an extent is King Edward
holding his power of veto in reserve
that now he is almost regarded by the
inner circles as more the cabinet
maker than Mr.. Baifour himself.
Though with his usual tact the king
has refrained from expressing any po-
litical views or infringing the initia-
tive belonging to the ministers, this
has not prevented him from expressing
his genuine desire, amounting almost
to a command, that steps should be
taken to remedy the scandals in the
army administration revealed by the
report of the South African war COM
mission and insisting that the new
cabinet shall be one adapted to deal
with that question.
King Edward has not shared the
keen public indignation against Lord
Lansdowne, aroused by the report Of
the South African war commission,
and after a minute examination OF
the circumstances he is understood to
have consented to his lordship con-
tinuing as foreign minister. The de-
cision has not prevented his majesty
from frankly telling the ministers
that he wanted something done to i'm
prove the military muddle and that
he hoped some man would be appoint
ed who, with the commissions report
as basis, would be capable of chang
ing the system which rendered inefi-
cheney unavoidable.
The question Of having some gener-
al, notably Lord Kitchener, as head of
the war Office has been. keenly discuss
ed at Balmoral between the king and
the ministers, but the Associated
Press understands that the consensus
of opinion was that such an appoint
ment would be interpreted as modi-
fed form of military dictatorship which
the public would never sanction.

Steel Plants May be Closed.

Pittsburg, Sept. 23-The United
States Steel Corporation may close
all it's sheet plants in the near future
unless the Amalgamated Association
will agree to reduction under the
same plan as was agreed upon last fafI:,
The reason for this attitude is an over
stocked market and the dullness of
trade at this time of year. Last year
the Amalgamated Association accept
ed a redcution of 3 per cent. on all
material made for foreign orders, and
the Steel Company, it is stated, in
tends to make a similar request this
year. President T. j. Shaffer, of the
Amalgamated, stated that he felt sure
that the limit would not be changed
and that existing conditions do not
warrant it.

ic Coast Lines franchise tax return
has been more than doubled by the
arbitrator, and the assessment OF

Communications From
Readers Of The Times

there be light in all the dark places, or
all the dark phases of this whole round
world; and while 1 muse the Puritan
fire burns within my soul. Questions
out of some inherited tendency shape
themselves in my mind. and 1 ask my
self: Is this the place to spend Sun
day evening? While the benignant spirit
of the place rests upon me, boldly an
swer, Yes"
Then through memory's chambers
sounds this refrain: Thou shalt Worship
the Lord, thy God, and Him only shalt
thou serve" From this thought the
second question comes forth. Is this
worship. and of what? I make answer
to my own soul, If worship is an up
lifting of the heart, an expansion of the
soul, an out-reaching and enlargement
of the whole being; and that toward the
over-souI: a state of mind which ban
ishes the petty cares of a treadmill life;
an attitude which brings God nearer,
makes man dearer, and duty clearer
then, surely, this is worship, and of the
Supreme Being; and one of his temples
is the Congressional Library where or
der reigns, where peace broods, and
beauty has its hour. S. S. E.
