SAM MARKS TO HANG.
The Supreme Court sustains the
Lower Court.
Moses Ham Will Probably Escape the
Death Penalty, as His Guilt is Not
Established.

Columbia, Feb. 15.-Sem Marks,
the Darlington county negro brought
here to prevent his being lynched for
the murder of the white man Till
Langston will hang. In an opinion,
filed today, the Supreme Court sus-
tains the lower court III which MARKS
was sentenced to death. Be- the
court reverses the finding as to Moses
Ham, convicted Of the same crime,
but given a life term. The opinion
saws: "There was no testimony to
support the verdict as to Moses Ham.
The only testimony against Moses
Ham was that be called out to Sam
Marks after the homicide to run
and that he attmpted to make his
escape with Sam Marks. These facts
are not sufficient to furnish legal in
ference of conspiracy between the
defendants. - Which opinion means
that Moses Ham should be acquitted.

SOCIAL ETHICS.
Is if Manslughter to Kill a Fool ?

1t is common for men to speak of
their own vices in Latin. and OF
other mems vices in Saxon. One says,
cit is true. / did equivocate. OF
another he says, "He lied" Of his
own dealing he says, 81 took advan-
tage of him. while in describing
anotber's actions he would say, .
cheated" The glasses we use in look
Ing upon self always soften the view.
A great philosopher once said he
doubted if it would be manslaughter
to kill fool. May be the law would
not agree with him, but it does seem
we ought to be able to get rid of the
social moustrosities-the gnats and
mosquitoes, which, by some freak OF
nature, have grown into human shape,
and spend their life going around dis
pensine their sting and their poison.
The half formed smile upon the face
makes no more amends for the venom
OF the tongue than the song OF the
mosquito does for its burning bite
More, than half Of earth's miseries
are born in the mouth. The thorn-
bushes spring from seeds planted In
the form of words. The man who
bears and the man who hears false
witness are one. The desire to aid all
men in maintaining the sanctity of
their reputation is one Of the lost arts
The resnltan5 evils are two-hrst in
the maligned and next in the maligner
He who makes his mind the harborine
place Of malicious thoughts inyades
the sanctity of his life, and the differ
ence between being evil and thinking
evil is often not distinguishable. He
who avows that all men have their
price is one who has aleady sold out
and been settled with. The woman
who is forever assailing the good viz
tue of other women is generally a
wretch in whom virtue fingers only
as tine memory Of a long past dream.
She has lost what she declares Others
have not, and her purpose is merely
to reduce them to level with herself
in order that she may feel more COM
Portable.
The question is open for debate: Is
it mansiaughter to kill fool

suMTER's PUBLIC BUILDING.
Congressman yer Explains Status
Of The Appropriation.

Editor the Daily Item:
Relative to the Public Building in
Sumter, permit me to say that the
status is this: The Omnibus Bill carry
ing items for various projects through
out the country, including fifty thou
sand dollars for Sumter, comes to the
House with favorable report from
the committee. This does not mean
the passage of the bill in the House.
It only means that the Public Build
ing is assured for Sumter, If the gen.
eral public buildings bill is to be al
lowed at this session.
In other words, we are going to get
the building, if any new buildings are
provided for.
The morning papers of Washington
announce that the Speaker of the
House refuses to allow day for the
consideration of any bill providing for
public buildings. / am not advised
as to the correctness Of this statement.
Under the miserable rules We have,
the Speaker of the House is the Su-
preme Dictator of its legislative pro-
gram, and his will is permitted to
override the will Of the House of
Representatives. There is no defence
for the rule. I do not know what the
attitude of the Speaker is. trust it
may be such as to allow day for the
consideration sf these bills, and if so,
the building for Sumter is assured.
Let NE say, also, that while the
Game Cock is growing his expressions
of thanks to me for my work, let him
not forget to send up one loud, con-
tinuous crow for the faithfulpess,
alterness, kindness, and ability of
Congressman Scarborough, who was
South Cardinals member on the COM
mittee. Very mucn of whatever has
been accomplished, is due to his
friendship for our project.
Assure your people that shall con-
tinue to labor TO make reliable reall-
zation of this, tee draem Of myself
and the citizens of Sumter and as
sure them also, that while the build
ing may be delayed, the report of this
committee has made it a certainty at
sonnet ime in the near future, if not at
this session of Congress. Very truly
yours. a. T. Lever
