SHOULD DOCTORS
TELL THE TRUTH.

The suicide of man in the prime
of life, shortly after being informed
by a physician that he would soon
become permanently blind raises a
question Of considerable clinical in
terest, namely, whether it is right for
q doctor to blurt out such terrible
truths to his patients, even in answer
to their repeated and insistent que>-
tions. To not few imaginative per-
sons sudden and complete loss of
sight, fter it's full possession and en-.
joyment, is worse than actual death
itself, so that the latter becomes a
ready means of escape. Absolutely
hopeless and painful diseases belong
in the same category. The rropriety
of telling the patient that he is cer-
tainly doomed to die in a few weeks
or months or years, has been much
discussed by the medical profession,

ficult, independently of legal Habil-
tiles Or obligations, than those which
an opinion, especially an adverse
opinion, concerning the probable is
sue of an illness ought to be COM
municated to the patient or his FAM
lily. It must be borne in
mind that an adverse medical opinion
is distinctly depressing agency, and
that the business of the doctor is to
sustain the vital powers, and to obvi-
ate. as far as possible, the tendency
toward DEATH" After stating that in
the majority of cases where the end
is in doubt it is perhaps justifiable
to inform the patient of his approach
ing death, he continues: There are
people upon whom the fear. or even

Pickens Planter Sold 75O Bales.

Pickens, August 4.-The largest
lot of cotton ever sold by a planter
in Pickens county was sold few
days ago by j. Samuel Wilson to
Heath Bruce. Morrow Company, OF
Pickens. Mr.. Wilson sold $50 bales,
portion of two crops. The lot
brought 104 cents round, aggregat-
ing nearly $4,000.
In many respects .Ir. Wilson is a
remarkable man. He was valiant
Confederate soldier in the Civil war
and at the close of that conflict came
home with absolutely nothing.
He began as day laborer and
saved everything he made, finally
purchasing all the lands owned by
his former employers. Mr.. Wilson
to-day is the largest planter in up
per South Carolina and owns some
of the finest cotton lands to be found
in Pickens and Anderson counties.

New Paper for Odd Fellows.

Columbia, August IA row in the
camp of the South Carolina Odd Fellows
over the choice of superintendent of
the new orphanage at Greenville is said
to have resulted in the perfection of
plans for the publication of an Odd Fell
lows paper in Columbia in the imme-
diate future. The new enterprise is said
to have capital Of $4,000, and is re-
puted to be backed by j. X. p. Netherry,
@. Y. Kelly and l.. N. Zealy, with w. 4.
Avery as the prospective soliciting agent.
The new paper will oppose the policy
pursued by the Tri-State Odd Fellow,
published at Greenville, which criticises
tho trustees for electing superintendent
who was not member of the order.
The trustees claim that the man elected
had an application in for Nom bership at
the time of his election and that he is
now member of the order.

First: Taking the belt as whole the
status is pretty much what it was at the
end of June. The change. if any, has
been in the direction of a slight improve

Second: The crop is exceedingly spot
ted, sharp deterioration in some districts
being offset by equally marked better
ment in others.
Third: There has been some further
abandonment of original acreage in con-
sequence of excessive rain fall.
Fourth: Generally speaking there is
too much weed and too little fruit
Fifth: The boil weevil has made it's ap-
pearance in some parts of Texas, but
no important damage appears to be ex-
pected.
Sixth: The situation may be summed
up by saying that the outlook is critical
Perfect weather and late frost must be

Freedom from Blind Tigers.

While we are contending over the
matter Of the regulation of the liquor
traffic in this State, and while others are
wrestling with the same problem, it is a
good time to put in some licks for the
passage of a general rule governing in
terstate commerce that will place the
transportation of any article, especially
whiskey, from one State to another, un-
der the laws governing the traffic in the
State to which it is taken. This will do
more to bring about freedom from blind
tigers and to enforce prohibition than
anything that could be done. If we are
going to shut whiskey out of the coun-
try let us shut it out for the man who is
able to order it as we'll IA for him who is
not. If the negro farm laborer is to be
made temperate by legislation let us
also require the landlord to be temperate.
If the mill operative is to be made an
abstainer let us also make the mill owner
an observation-disclosures Times.

Swift Justice In Texas.

Dallas, Texas, July 29.-An unknown
negro, who attempted to assault two
white women, was lynched to-day near
the town of Avery bya mob of several
hundred men. The negro attacked the
two women last Thursday. He was
frightened away in his first attempt, and
later waylaid Mrs. Aydelotte. Her
screams attracted her husband, who was
nearby. When the latter arrived on the
scene he was knocked down by the
negro. Mrs. Aydelotte was also struck
over the head. The negro then fled, but
was captured to- day at Sulphur River by
posse. After being positively identi-
fed by the two women he was taken into
the woods and hanged to a tree.

Getting Rid Of the Tigers.

Greenwood Journal : A citizen of
Ninety-Six told a gentleman in our
presence last Wednesday of the plan
adopted by the people of Ninety-Six
for getting rid of the tigers. He
said the plan was most effective and
worked like charm. Two parties
had been handling the stuff for some
time, and there seemed to be no way
to put an cad to their mean work.
They did not care for fines and the
law had no terror for them. So a
number of men got together one
evening and invited these tigers to
walk out with them into the woods
near the town, where sound
thrashing was administered to each
OF them, with the warning that if
they were seen in the fair little city
the next day that it would not be
we'll for them. And the next day
found them gone and the tiger bust
ness at an end. We are law abiding
citizens and cannot commend law
lessness to put down lawlessness,
but when 80 many devices are adopt.
ed to clear the guilty, one is not sur
prised that the Ninety-Six plan is
resorted to to get rid of nuisance.
And we are not so sure it is any
worse, if as bad, as many things that
are done in the name of law and
order. The meanest tiger, if he can
raise $5, can get some lawyer to de-
fend him who will get him scot free
time and again to ply his nefarious
business, and so the dirty work goes
on and on in defiance of all Justice
and in the face of an outraged sense
of decency. We do not know for
whom we have more contempt, the
blind tiger or the lawyer who makes
it his business to defend him.

Convicted OF Killing the Carter Children.

the trial of j. G. Rawlings brought in a
verdict of guilty without recommends
ton at II 80 tonight The prisoner, his

by his side, received the verdict without
emotion.
The conviction of j. G. Rawlings, the
father of Jesse, Milton and Leonard
Rawlings, whose convictions had pre-
ceded his, removes the entire male mem.
bership of the family, should the ver-
diets of the juries stand.
The three sons and the negro, ALT
Moore, were accused of killing the
young Carter children, and the father,
j. G. Rawlings, was accused and found
guilty of instigating one of the blacklist
crimes that has been recorded in the
history of Georgia.
Four of the convicted men received no
recommendation to mercy, and under
the laws of the State their sentences
necessarily must be death on the gal
lows.
One of the sons, Leonard, will receive
a life sentence in the penitentiary--pro
vided, of course, that sentences are
passed upon the men.
Seldom have so many faced the ex-
treme penalty for the same crime, and
interest in the case throughout Georgia
and the country has been deep.
A motion for new trial in the case of
the Rawlingses was filed and the 9th of
September was the date fixed for the
hearing. The date fixed for the exeou-
tion of the CONDEMNED men was Septem-

before Hoch was to have gone on the
scaffold. His case had been appealed

lacked the money necessary to prose-
