hACK'S SELECTION
GREAT SURPRISE

at Yale-Mack Did Well at
MerceIsburg.

The selection Of John H. Mack, of Mer-
cersburg Academy, Mercersburgi Pa. to
succeed NJ. ]. Murphy, as the Yale attn
letic trainer. was somewhat of q surprise
to athletes, as it was generally supposed
that some one with national reputation
would be the choice OF the advisory com
mittee.
There was friction between the com
nittee and the football and track cap
tains at Yale. but at a conference be-
tween Julian Curtiss and the two cap
3tains an agreement was reached
Touted Sanford.
Up to the last moment it was thought
that George f. Sanford, the former Yale
football player and Columbia coach.
would be the choice. Talcott B. HUI.

Rubin now lays claim to honors for
the title. Marvin Hart viii probably

Arthur Johnson is making them all get
behind the color line. II does seem
strange that every heavy in the business
now has drawn that line. Marvin Hart
says he is from the South and will new
er fight Johnson again. F1tzsimmons re-
fused to fight Johnson two years ago at
Frisco, and now IS out of the game On
the stage. Jack Munroe was beaten by
Johnson. SO he is out of the color squab-

The fight situation at the present time
is between Rubin, Hart, and Johnson
and until these three fight il out there
will be no champion to come anywhere

Ex-senator John i. McLaurin hay

Ex-senator John l.. McLaurin hav-
ing accepted an invitation to address
a meeting Of farmers in this city on
the first Monday in April, will
doubtless come cooked and primed
with a speech elucidating and elab-
rating his theory Of commercial
Democracy as the panacea for all the
ills from which the South, and the
farmers especial, are suffering. Mr..
McLaurin's last appearance on the
platform in this city was at the open
ing meeting Of his campaign for the.
senate against Senator John L. Irby.
He was then at the food-tide Of his
political prosperity and the reception,
was not only fattering but amounted
to an ovation which gave a decided
impetus to his campaign. He will un-
doubtediy receive a cordial welcome
on April Sd, but there will be less Of
political enthusiasm and more desire
for hard facts and common sense. If
he can demonstrate that his theories
are correct his hearers will accept
them, but if his demonstration is weak
and faulty in any particular the men
who gather to hear him will reject
his theory. This is hard business
proposition and not politics with
which we have to deal, and fine spun
theories wont satisfy-won't go.

escaped does them no injustice what.
ever. They get their just punishment
and have no ground of complaint,
but then the frequent acquittals
which have occurred in the past have
done grayeinjury to the criminally in
clined citizen. He has thereby been
led te the conclusion that he might
indulge his murderous passion with
out apprehension of serious conse-
quences to himself. Doubtless there
fore these men will feel that they
have been singled out for punishment
unj1stly. that they are not more
guilty than many Others who have
escaped all penalty for equally as helm
Gus crimes. There is semblance of
right in this reasoning. Probably
their crime would not have been COM
mitted il they had known that justice
exact and stern would be meted out
to them-an eye for an eye, a tooth
for "a tooth. Thus it is that a lax ad-
ministrat;on of criminal law results
in a multiplication of crime and is
exceedingly injurious to all classes of
society. Let us hope that the tide
has turned and that human life in
South Carolina will be held at its
true sacred worth. That fixed as q
great unalterable fact will do more
good towards helping the movement
to secure desirable immigration than
anything else of which We know.
The conviction Of the two white
men who killed nego in Darlington
county has been generally commented
upon as a remarkable and unusual oc-
currence The verdict was remarkable
in some respects, but the crime was
more remarkable and unusual than
the result Of the trial. Rarely, if ever,
during the writer's newspaper expe-
rience Of nearly fifteen years, has a
parallel case come under his observa-
stion. White men seldom ever kill a
negro without cause or excuse. Occa-
sionally the excuse has been a poor
one, but as a rule, when negro has
been killed by a white man there has
been not only a reasonable excuse, but
great provocation. Considering con-
ditions in this state, the marvel is not
that SO few white man have been con-
victed of murder for the killing of ne
groes, but that so few negroes. have
been killed. If the white people were
not long-suffering, forbearing and
patient peoole, and trained by ex-
perience with and knowledge Of the
negro character, ten times as many
negroes would have been killed in the
past Ten years as have been killed,
and. in each case, an excuse, amply
sufficient for the jury, could have been
offered
If The license tax on corporations
should be declared unconstitutional
the lawmakers will be just that much
nearer the enactment Of law to re-
ouire honest returns Of all property
for taxation and the result will be
beneficial to the state. Why should a
corporation engaged in selling dry
goods. for instance, be required to pay
the regular tax and license tax also,
while it's competitor escapes with the
payment of a tax on stock alone?
What South Carolina needs is not a
whole list Of special taxes but gen
eral law that will require all property
owners to bear their just and equal
tshare Of the cost Of maintaining the
H.. ~ ond county governments

giving one-half his tine, so employed,
to the bad roads cause.
1t is estimated that the average far
,mer loses at least 500 year to the
cause Of bad roads. This Injuries not
alone the farmer but the village store
keeper, because the farmer might earn
$500 year more and have that much
more to spend.
If one were called upon to decide
which Of the great American industries
had in the last 40 years been most favor
ably affected by legislation, he would be
obliged to say that farming was that in
dustry. Much of this legislation has
been only Of indirect benefit, but it has
all resulted in the farmers favor, from
the railroad subsidies, which open up
vast territories for settlements, to the
tariff schedules, which have amazingly
developed our manufacturing interests,
and made home markets for agricultural
products. All this favorable legislation
has been Of benefit to the whole people
as well as to the farmer. Now If by i'm
proving the common roads Of the coun-
try, another direct and manifest benefit
can be conferred upon the agricultural
population, who is there so blind to the
general welfare as to interpose an objec-
ton? THE SENTRY.
