AN UNwARRANTBD ACcIDENT.-The
killing of Jim Long by Julius X. Eison
In J. Columbia has not been satisfac-
torily disposed of by the verdict OF the
coroners jury that the pistol went on
accidentally" Eison Is not police
officer; he is dispensary constable.
His duties do not include making ar
rests of persons charged with larceny.
A policeman was pursuing a negro
who had committed a petty thett.
The officer fired his pistol into the
ground to attract the attention Of the
policeman on the next beat. 1t was
broad daylight and there was no reas-
enable probability Of the fugitive es-
Gaping. Constable Eison saw the ne
gro coming and drew his pistol. The
negro tried to run over him." but
the constable did not trip him or seize
him or club him in the face or tenn
pie. After the man passed the con-
stable struck at him. Why he should
have struck at him under the shoulder
blade when the man was out or reacn,
why the pistol should have gone on
without being Jared by a blow IS
not explained.
The coroners jury does not appear
to have ascertained whether the con-
stable pulled the trigger. and then
inquired why a sane man intending
to use his self-acting pistol as CLUB
should keep his finger on the trigger!
And the depth of the indentation In
the empty shell would have Indicated
the method of the explosion.
The fact is that this dispensary
constable pulled the trigger, and then
Intentionally or not shot the negro
reckiessly and without warrant OF
law. He heard pistol shots. saw a
man running, got excited, drew MS
ready pistol and the next minute the
negro was dead. Whether accident or
stupidity or disregard Of the life OF
fleeing negro, the killing was not
ustified-Co!umbia State.

Picturesque Nomadism.
V. l. Masters in Baptist Courier: On
the way back into Fort Mill Sunday
wagons. fifteen tents, and about a hun
dred people. The camp was In a ten
acre oak woods and looked cool and
neat-neater than gypsy camps are
wont to be. They said they were from
Nashville. Tenn. that they traded
horses a bit, but were not gypsies;
nor did they make a support out OF
trading. That they were taking an
extended summer outing. 1t was a
unique crowd. After all, Is not their
scheme rather inviting? There were
men, women and children, and nu-

Secretary of Treasury Tells How For-
eian Trade ls to be Developed.

eign Trade ls to be Developed.
At banquet given last Tuesday
night by the Chattanooga Clearing
house. Leslie M. Shaw. secretary Of
the treasury, made speech on the
ship subsidy question. saying In part:
America Is continually selling to
Europe vastly more than we buy. A
balance of trade Of $1,000,000 day In
our favor Is maintained throughout the
year In the commerce between this
cour try and Europe.
Between the United. States and the
southern countries the balance Is al
most as much per day on the other
of tropical and subtropical products
every day, but those countries go to
Europe for their manufactured goods.
European trade with the South
American countries nets balance for
the eastern countries of g. figure al
most II not quite the equal Of our i'm
ports from the south.
European ships make the circuit.
They go to South America with Euro
pean products: there they load up with
tropical shipments for the United
States which they deliver at our ports:
Anne rican surplus is then loaded for
shipment 10 EuTOptdll dThCtS.
II may be asked for my remedy for
this condition Of trade and you will
Expect me to say something about the
ship subsidy Should not American
ships carry this trade to the south? III
they do II Is said a single year would
bankrupt any shipping company we
have.
What II the government would pay
the losses that would be sustained by
these companies until an export trade
ne established. Would II not cause
very shipping company we thus aid
to knock at the door of every manu-
featuring plant for products to carry
TO the south?
"Just think what we are doing down
on the isthmus to subsidiZe trade. We
have paid 5O.O0O,O 900 for the privilege
Of building the canal. We will pay
5000, 900, 0,OO0-perhaps $4,000 .000-be-
fore the canal Is finished. all for the
purpose of building up our export
trade.
"You may have to look at your maps
before you realize that Il Is nearer to
San Francisco from Liverpool than
from New York II you go around the
Horn. It Is nearer to San Francisco
from Liverpool by way Of the Suez
canal than from New York IL you go

Our object Is to open the Pacific

tacturers and shippers. We already
own the Philippines, whether we
should or not We already own Ha-

say that 1t would have never been ac-

not have been warranted in assumi
responsibility for 1t. Supervisor Boyd
denies that the commissioners ever
had a contract with the power COM
pany The board Is unwilling to ac-
cept the thousand dollars offered by
the power company as a final settle
ment because 1t will take several thou
sand dollars additional to build the
proposed bridge in a manner that will
be reasonably satisfactory. From the
attitude of both sides 1t appears that
the differences are not going to be set

gested that a decision unfavorable to

WE note that Constable Eison, who
killed a negro in Columbia a few days
ago. has, after having been exonerated
by the coroner's jury, requested that
his case be placed before the grand
Jury for consideration. We do not
know Constable Eison and we have no
prejudice against him: AS we under
stand the case, the negro was fleeing
from a police officer Eison seeing the
fellow coming pulled his pistol. AS the
negro passed Eison the weapon ex-
ploded and the negro was killed. Ell
son told the coroner's jury that he
drew the revolver for the purpose OF
knocking the negro down and the dis
charge was accidental. Without say
ing whether or not we believe the
story, we want to say that Eison had
no right whatever to draw his pistol
under the circumstances. Even If 1t
Is true that he drew his pistol for the
purpose OF knocking the negro down. a
thing he had no right to do, and the
discharge of the weapon was the re-
suit Of accident, the crime committed
was certainly no less than man
slaughter. or course, there is little
probability at anything will be done
in this case. Things have come to
such a pass that II didn't go to do IT.
is a fairly good excuse even for muir
der and as the result murder is not
such a shocking crime after all. But
If this case were dealt with strictly in
accordance with the letter Of the law,
we have an idea that the result would
be most wholesome.

Referring to what was said in the

information was to the effect that a
brick court house building was torn
down to make room for the present
structure. and that some of the bricks
in the old building were used in the
house now owned and occupied by
Mr. B. N. Moore. 1t Is fact that Mr..

OIL WAR In CoLUMBIA.-The oil war
is on in earnest and 1t is now a ques-
tion as to the ability of two rival con-
Germs on the staying proposition. The
fight Is between the Standard Oil COM
pany and the Red Oil company, the
latter being an Independent concern
that has been fighting the trust for a
number of years. About two months
ago the independent concern decided
to establish a branch here and ar
rangements were made with the rail-
roads to ship the stuff here in barrels.
The Standard people heard of 1t at
once and oil dropped from 13 cents a
gallon to IL and little over. That
wasn't all. The agents of the inde-
pendent company were summoned be-
fore the recorder for doing a business
without a license and a fine imposed
under the license law. The company
has appealed to council for a refund
of the fine of $40 and the 500 license.
These particulars were pretty well
known here but the merchants were
rather surprised when 1t was rumor-
ed that there would be another drop In
the price in the next few days. To-
day Red c was quoted at III against
IL fiat by the Standard. The quota
tions of the former company are al
WAYS lust little above the Standard s
figures as it is not desired to precipi-
tate an oil war that would only put
the Red c out of business.
Just here, however, Is where the
Standard overrated itself just little.
A broker from Augusta and another
from Savannah appeared and had Or
dered through Columbia. where there
is an oil war, several thousand gal
Ions. The stuff was delivered here and
shipped to Savannah and Augusta and
sold cheaper with the freight added
than in those two cities where there Is
no fight 1t Is said that the idea will be
worked again and should the Standard
go lack on its price there will be a
