I'VE are looking not alone to the re-
habilitation Of agricultural districts In

broader mineral field, in which We
have valuable properties. We are Of

great economic problems Of the coln-
try In a peaceful and desirable solu-

WE learn that Mr.. H. H. Evans is
pushing his suit against the Barnwell
Sentinel.
While we regret any action that
would cause our brother editor wor-
ry Of mind or expense Of pocket, we
are nevertheless glad to see the courts
resorted to for the protection OF char
acter. Since the enactment or the
law against duelling many newspa-
pers have been too free and too care
less in assailing character. But re-
action Is sure to come, when the news
papers, If they do not respect charac-
ter, will be required to be more dis
Greet in assailing 1t.
If Mr.. Evans shall raise the stand
ard of the newspapers In Louth Caro-
lima, he will have done the public
a service. If he shall make newspa-
pers O little more careful as to as
saults on public officers, he will de-
serve the thanks Of those who may be
in public office.
If an editor assumes to mall
ciously detract from the character OF
q citizen, he should be required to an
swer for the act.
An editor who may think that he
must be coarse in his conduct, or suf-
fer martyrdom in the discharge Of his
duty is simply mistaken. The people
as a rule. respect an editor for out
spoken opinions, even when they dis
agree with him. When the reader
takes offense, it is nine times out OF
ten, the manner of expression, and not
the utterance of a conviction, that
gives offense.-Abbeville Press and
Banner.
When the Greenyille News some
time ago made specific charges In
connection with purchases of liquor,
quite a number of law abiding peo-
pie hoped to see a damage suit. They
believed that the News was not only
responsible financially, but morally
as we'll, and they calculated that a
damage suit would develop some
wholesome facts that would rebound
to the good Of the state. Instead they
witnessed only case of assault and
battery which though not discreditable
to the then editor of the News was
not disposed Of in a manner creditable
to the city and county Of Greenville.
The offense of the Barnwen paper
consists mainly in the reference to
the existence of certain rumors. This
paper is not nearly so strong finan-
cially as the News. It will be punish
ed even II it wins because 1t is hardly
able to employ lawyers for its defense.
A part of what the Press and Banner
has to say strikes US with force. We
agree that there is no punishment
severe enough for the editor who would
maliciously attack the character of a
citizen. No matter how reproachable
mans character may be malice Is
worse. The man who harbors malice
is worse than a brute. No man can be
justified in doing anything from mall
ice Malice is as wicked as murder.
But does Mr.. Evans stand high enough
in the scale Of uprightness and probity
to raise the standard of the newspa-
pers of South Carolina? If this be
the case, then all we have to say Is
that there are lots OF people who seem
to be laborins under very grave mis-
conceptions in regard to the matter.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

The county commissioners of Pick
ems county have ordered an election
to be held on the dispensary question
on May 20. The petition asking for
election contained about LOO names.
1t is reported that Col. Leroy
Springs Of Lancaster intends to erect
In his town one Of the handsomest
buildings in the state. Provisions Will
be made for not less than eleven store
rooms, a post office. a hotel and pos
sibly an opera house.
Some two years ago the officials
Of the county Of Newberry bought
some road machinery on credit ana
gave notes for $4,155.77. When the
holders Of the notes demanded pay
ment, the county attorney advised
the commissioners not to pay, assuring
them that under the law they had no
right to make a contract for an
amount greater than the taxes OF the
current year. There Is no question as
to the law on the subject and as TO
whether the road machinery notes VIII
be paid has not developed
Columbia special Of Tuesday to
the Greenville News: Two important
supreme court opinions were filed this
afternoon, the one In the case or

ed. In the alliance case the appeal
from Circuit Judge Gary's order d.
recting the master to notify the cred,
itors and stockholders to come In and
prove their claims with view to ap-
pointing a receiver and winding up
the concern which was the purpose or
the original suit, is dismissed by the
supreme court and the case goes back
for trial on its merits. The amount
of stock involved Is $4,000. The case
has been hanging on many years. The
Farmers Alliance got into politics ana
was put out Of business by internal
dispensation, an effort to distribute the
funds being proposed at the time OF
the institution Of the suit. The prop
erty Is represented In money which Is
out on good security. Since the or
ganization years ago it would have
realized over fifty per cent to the
stock, but what the stockholders will
get when the litigation Is finished Is
altogether problematical.

YoRKVILLE, s. c.:
FRIDAY, APRIL q. 1905.

THE Greeaville News Is authority
for the statement that Clemson COL
lege claims that a larger number of
fertilizer tags have been taken out
than will be required for all the fer
tilizers the farmers are going to use
and that the tag money can be and
will be refunded. While 1t seems to
us that there should be no difficulty
of arriving at a satisfactory explana-
ton Of such a situation. we confess
that we cannot see through the mat
ter except on the theory that the sur
plus tags have been bought for stock
jobbing purposes. The News, how
ever, states that the fertilizer COM
panies have frankly admitted that
their sales this year have not been as
large as last, and IL this be true. we
are left In darkness more dense than

safes blown here without making ar

Suppose we should find 1t necessary to
put two or three Of these safe blowers
In Jail, and a few nights afterward
they should escape and kill somebody.
We would have some steel cages pref

DEATH OF MAJOR HART.

Major James F. Hart is dead. He
passed away at his home IN Yorkyille
yesterday afternoon at $50 o'clock.
For several months past his condition
had been such as to excite the alter
nate hopes and fears Of his family and
friends. There was sudden collapse
on Wednesday, followed by a slight
rally and then gradual sinking
through hours Of unconsciousness.

York County Grand Jury.
On such a recommendation as the
grand jury has made, the county COM
missioners are justified In spending
such amount of money as may be nee
essary to make such changes in the
Jail as have been suggested.-Judge
r. o. Purdy.
We recommend that in order to Sc
cure proper sanitation and security
for the prisoners that the entire inter-
ior Of the upper floor Of the jail be
taken out, and in place Of the cells as
now arranged. that a modern system
Of cells be constructed. We beg to
state to the court that we deem i'm
mediate action along this line as ne
cessary.-York County Grand Jury.

relief, contemplates what Is really an
evasion of the law. 1t is like this.
Let the county delegation to the gen.
eral assembly get together and agree
to back the commissioners up in bor-
rowing such moneys as they may
deem necessary for the purpose In
hand. and let the money be borrowed
on that basis.
There may be some other way out
Of the trouble; but THE ENQUIRER has
not been able to find it. However

Supervisor Boyd took four prisoners
to the chaingang yesterday. They in

and John Belk, who plead guilty Of
bigamy at the term of the court just
closed. People interested in the
prisoners sought to persuade the su-
pervisor to send them to the peniten-

Mr.. Boyd decided otherwise. He does
not see that these men, especially In
