not to Others as they had said all TIE
time that be would come clear. He
could not by the evidence be convict
ed OF murder, but we will never Sc
any better days in South Carolina
until men are punished for taking the
lives of their fellow man. We had a
much better excuse last year to shoot a
man than ellis had to shoot Whlt-
taker. He said he was going to whip
as. and without saying word made
an attempt to do SO, but when be was
through the whipping was on the other
hand, and we did not shoot either.
a pistol is not the sign of brave
man. It is generally used by towards.
as men under the influence of whiskey:
There is not yet any clue to the
Mcdowell murder.
Robbery must certainly have
been the only motive, while
some think that it was Mr..
Porter. the wounded man, that they
were after, and did not intend kill
ing Mcdowell.

Sumter Wishes a College.

One reading the Sumter papers
must be impressed with the keen dis
appointment felt in that town at the
outcome Of the contest for the Pres
byterian College of South Carolina
In fairness to the Game Cock City it
must be explained that the chagrln
is not because Clinton secured the re-
tention of the college, but rather that
Sumter. should have SO heartily and
earnestly, yet innocently, entered q
contest from which she supposed
Clinton had been eliminated, then to
find the Laurens town>had substan-
tial rights in the premises. This much
is said to make Sumter's position clear
without entering into the merits Of
the case or inviting what would be an
endless, as we'll as improbable con-
troversy. Years ago The State ad-
vised Columbians not to participate
in bidding contest for the retention
Of a college already established here,
but urged it's liberal support. The
wisdom and dignity Of that position
has been sustained, we think, both in
theory and in practice.
Our purpose now is not the thrash
ing of old straw. but to point to the
public spirit of our hustling little SIS
ter and eighbor-Sumter.. The State
predicted that the towns unsuccessful
in their efforts to obtain the Presby-
terian college would not regret their
activity in the contest, for the spirit
prompting the endeavor had brought
men together who were inclined to
be too self-absorbed; that it had FAM
ned the flames of local pride and re-
vealed the strength Of unity Of action.
Sumter, although falling to secure the
Clinton college, has had revealed some
of her hidden strength and the cry is
now for Sumter college, built and
equipped through Sumtec endeavor. 4
To that end several citizens nave aiSS
ready doubled their subscriptions to
the fund raised for the Clinton col
lege Sumter will probably conclude,
on mature consideration, that a col
lege" is not what she needs and that
her wants will better be supplied by
first class high school or academy,
but college or academy, whatever is
determined on, will be built by the
people Of Sumter. Their spirit is ad-
mirable.-The State.
