business standing, should be excused.
The man should be lost sight of and pun

We have no right to pass Judgment on
Keith Dargan, nor do we do so. If he is
dead, he is beyond the reach of human
law, and must answer for the deeds of
this life at the judgment bar of his
Maker. whore family prestige, influence
of friends or relatives count for .ught.
II he still lives, he should answer the
charges brought against him-bis family,
his influence, his past good record and
his ancestry being thrown aside-and he
should stand or fall on his own record
In the Greenville matter the scandal is
in official circles, Ex-Supervisor Speegle
being charged with defrauding the
county out of thousands of dollars dur
ing his term of Office. This affair, to all
appearances, is being thoroughly sifted,
and it is gratifying to note that so far as
possible every person connected with
the wholesale graft" of the last few
years is being brought in to give an ac-
count of the part he played. Each should
bear his share of the blame and suffer
the consequences, regardless of who he
may be. Every outsider who has re-
ceived money on false or exaggerated
claims is guilty of collusion and fraud -,
and should pay the penalty. We believe
the Greenville authorities are aiming at
this end. That county is to be con-
graduated upon the searching work of
investigation now being carried on, and
1t is to be hoped that the result will be
such as to prove a stern warning to
others in the future.

DARLINGTON AND GREENvILLe SCANDALS

Two cities in South Carolina are to-day
I'm the throes of scandal and investiga.
tion. In the city of Darlington the Dar-
gan scandal is the all.absorbing topic,
and at Greenvile the rottenness OF for.
mer county supervisor and his associ-
ates, as we'll as a number of citizens, is
being investigated.
The Dargan scandal arises from crook
edness and mismanagement in the affairs
of million-dollar oil concern, which
became bankrupt short while since and
closed it's doors, bringing heavy financial
loss to many, not only in Darlington, but
in other parts of the State as we'll. AS a
result of the failure of tho concern,
Keith Dargan, the president and general
manager, committed suicide-at least
his brother, Pegram Dargan, and others
say he did-while it is claimed by out
siders that Keith Dargan is living and
that wax figure lies in the cemonted
vault in the cemetery. This question,
however, it is none of our business to try
to settle; so far the relatives have re-
dused, it is reported, to permit the vault
10 be opened and the body examined
Hf the members of the Dargan family are
satisfied in thoir own minds that no
fraud has been practiced, and that in
reality Keith Dargan lies in the grave,
they, of course, are absolutely certain of
clear cnnsciences for themselves. But do
they not owe it to the prominence of
their family, and it's good name in the
past, to set aside, once and for all, the
Gumors OF fraud and deception.--a sham
suicide, sham funeral for sham corpse,
and sham burial-and thus remove, as
much as possible, the blot on the family
name? Unpleasant, painful az it would
foe, the ex .uming of the body of Keith
Dargan would silence these rumors and
solve the problem to the satisfaction of
all. The refusal to de so simply adds to
rcabs suspicion.
lhefalcation, misapprOpriation of funds
IN trust, speculating with money belong
nc to others, and general crookedness
ln large business and government affairs
are becoming far too common in this
country. And, too, it 10 equally as com.
uson TO "whitewash" the criminal and
tsxcuse the crime, especially so if the cul-
p1rit is a member Of a prominent or
'.aTistocratic" family. The practice of
Gom1oning the vices of tho present gen
Grafton because of the virtues of genera
tions dead and buried is responsible for
much of the lax morals and dishonesty
e2f to-day. When defaulters, fraudulent
rn anipulators and financial crooks are
punished for their sins, regardless of
position or family, there will be a change
for the better on these lines. The man
who, lacking in family prestige, goes
wrong, is dealt with according to his
sins. This is right, and it is but simple
Justice But no man similarly guilty,
simply on account of his good family

Murder and Suicide in New York.

New York, July 25.- Raving mad, Mrs.
Annie Cahes, a young mother, last We'd
nesday morning left her bed, and, seiz-
ing a carving knife, stabbed her nineteen
months old son to death. The woman
sought to murder her husband, but was
prevented. She then stabbed herself in
the breast. Jealousy over her sister,
who was living with her, is thought to
have prompted tho act.

torney General Ellis has decided that
the summer school can be conducted
only at the University of Florida,

rangements are cancelled"
