What We Think.
G. w. WOLFE,
KingsIree. sc.

So far as we recall the only white
man convicted of murder and SEN
fenced to death in South Carolina, in
several years, was Hayes of Oconee,
who killed his wife. The State
hoped to use HIM as an example and
now comes the news that he has es-
capped! The law is weak in convic-
ton of white men and too weak to
execute the few who are convicted.
What ought to happen to the officers
of Oconee who allowed that tiend to
escape?
South Carolina has had SO many
lynchings in the last few weeks that
they have become common, so COM
mon that the average newspaper
reader finds little interest in reading
the stories of the mob. When man
opens his morning paper he as conf
IDENTIFY expects to find the story of a
lynching as he does to find the ad
) vertisements of the patent medicines.
It's sure thing and the horror of it
is that We can gekthus used to such
fearful things. Lynching is nanader
pure and simple, and yet there are
people who condone it. There are
hundreds of men in South Carolina,
men who have composed mobs, who
have stained their hands with human
blood and who will be held as strict
ly accountable by God on the last
day as will the wretches VINO were
lynched. Will men never realize this
fact? 1t seems not.
Mrs Florence Maybrick,. an Ameri-
can woman who was convicted, fif-
teen years ago, of the murder of her
English husband, and who has been
confined f or that length of time in
an English prison, has been released.
She was given a life sentence but
through the good Offices If influential
English women and American repre-
sentatives at the English court, she
has been released. She has not been
pardoned-simply released with the
understanding that she is still in bad
odor in England. This case shows
the world English respect for human
life. There was reasonable doubt as
to the woman's guilt. but so great
was England's regard for life that
the woman was found guilty and
punished. Ever since her confne-
ment in prison powerful influence of
distinguished people has been exerted
to have her pardoned, but only after
fifteen years has the government con-
ssnted. How sadly America needs
this English respect for law and life.
A human life in this country is
worth little more, IN the eyes of the
courts. and the people at large, than
the life of al. animal of the forest.
Every day murder is recorded IN the
papers, and the courts excuse. Does
it ever occur to juries that when
thev liberate a murderer on senti-
ment or prejudice or on technical
ies that they have stained their own

"a RESIGNATION CALLED FOR"

Under tho heading "a Resigna'
tion Called For" tile New Yorl
Tribune, that great Republican organ,
severely arraigned Senator jackson,
Middlesex county's representative in
the upper house of the New Jersey
legislature and, as if to second The
demand for the resignation, the
Newark Evening News, last night,
reprinted the Tribune's article. This
arraignment on the part of the
Tribune starts as follows:
"One man has succeeded in dis
grazing the State of New Jersey.
lone man has put the State Legis-
lature in the attitude of snubbing fifty
thousand Of the flower Of New Jer-
sav'H citizenship.
lone man has made it painfully
evident that the worst enemies Of
popular government are not always to
be found among the ignoramuses and
-lliterates
After telling who this one man IL,
the Tribune continues:
Nov Senator jackson has by one
act blasted all the hopes of those
who predicted for him a continued
and ever broadening career of public
service. To the Senate committee Of
which he was chairman was commit
ted the bill prohibiting the "sport"
of shooting tame pigeons from trans.
This measure vas backed by the
unanimous sentiment of the humane
people of New Jersey, and they drove
II through the Assembly in the teeth
OF lobbyists from other States. Not
since the famous racetrack agitation
have the men and women with con-
sciences shown SO much interest in o
legislative measure. But Senator
jackson had promised a friend of his
that he wouldn't let the bill get out
OF his committee, and he kept that
promise In the face Of appeals, ex-
hortations and warnings. and SO the
bill to stop the slaughter Of pigeons

SAGINAW, Mich, March 30.-Flood
conditions in this city and vicinity
are not improved. The water in the
river has risen about five inches in
the past twenty-four hours, and the
filling and backing up of the sewers
has increased the urea OF the flooded
district. The Flint, Shiawassee, Cass
and Bad rivers are falling.
If the weather would warm up
gradually and not fll Up the Titta-
bawassee river and its tributaries
with a rush the danger would be re-
garded as over, but rains are threat
ened, the temperature is rising and a
big food from these streams added to
the present volume of water will work
inealculable damage. 1t is difficult to
estimate the damage.
All Industrial plants on the river are
shut down, and 5000 men or more
n out Of work, Conditions between

Carrollton, Milwaukee and Crow Is

Superior Court at New Haven
Hearing Will Case. Gil.
WILLIAM j. BRYAN on THE STAND
widows Counsel Put UD a Stubborn
Fight at the outset Against ADJ
mission Of the Celebrated Adj
denda to Husbands WIN.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 3d.
Philo s. Benefits will was admitted
as a competent document for probat-
fng by Judge Edwin b, eager Of the
| superior court as the result of the first
days hearing i'll the appeal Of William
]. Bryan from the decision OF the pro
bate court which disdllowed the seal
ed letter. found with the will and
which gives Mr.. Bryan $4,000. Tie
chief contention, the admissibility of
the ''sealed letter. as evidence. was
being argued by counsel at the time
the court adjourned for the day. For
mel Judge Stodddrd, who appears as
senior counsel for Mrs. Bennett and
the other heirs, fought every inch of
the ground over which the appellants
moved in their efforts to Introduce
evidence, and at times he directed bit
ter invectives and sarcasm against the
opposing side.
The occasion was a remarkable one,
and lawyers who thronged the court
room in many Instances said that few
cases ever coming before the courts
Of Connecticut have been so stubborn
ly fought at the very outset.
Practically the whole day was taken
UP in efforts Of Henry G.. Newton, coun-
sci for Mr.. Bryan, to have admitted as
evidence the VIII, the sealed letter"
and a typewriter copy Of the sealed
letter." and this necessitated u rcpeti-
ton of the probate court proceedings,
only with greater legal details. -Four
court to admit the SEALED letter."
and on final refusal he said that he
would have to put in testimony as a
whole, skipping that which had to do
with the main point at issue. Judge
Stoddard firmly refused to abandon
the position he had taken and asked
the court to allow him an argument
on this contention.
Although counsel did not insist ON II,
the court thought it well to excuse the
Jury and allow arguments at this time.
Judge Stoddard said in his argu-
ment that the main question was
whether the testamentary letter or pa-
per conveying any part of the estate
and claiming to be a part Of the will
can be a part Of the will when not in
compliance with the statutes and
which is not signed by three witnesses,
according to law. He said no paper or
codicil can be any part Of the will un-
less signed by three persons in the
presence of the testator. He argued
that the language was prohibitive and
exclusive and that no will drawn up
in this state shall be valid to pass un-
less SO witnessed. He said it was the
law and practice of Connecticut, New
York and Massachusetts as we'll as in
England and quoted from several au-
thorities sustaining his statements. He
said, There is absolutely no authority 4
that a paper executed as this is and |
coming into existence as this does that
ave admitted to probate as a
part of d will" He said that the paper |
must be as complete in every detail as
II will itself and has the same jurisdic-
ton in the statutes as any regularly
testament. |
