ripe for the making of a thorough
investigation into the condition
Of public ffices generally, state
as we'll as county.
Officials who are doing their
duty and whose accounts are
straight would no doubt welcome
such an investigation. 1t would
give them an opportunity to
show to the people that they are
worthy of the trust reposed in
them. Only the incompetent and
the criminally guilty would suffer
by a general overhauhng of the
public Offices in South Carolina.
The charge has been frequently
made that, in spite of the dispen-
sary revenues and the enchanCed
value of taxable property, state
ana county taxes are annually
increasing instead Of diminishing.
The charge implies either extrav
agance or misappropriation of
public funds, or both. If the
peoples money is not being eco
nomically and judiciously used if
it is being wasted or stolen, the
sooner they find it out the better.
Let the Legislature turn on the
limelight over the entire state.

sary investigation was a step in
the right direction, but it is now

BAIL IN HOMICIDE CASES.

Our esteemed contemporary
the Chester Lantern is Of the
opinion that our judges ar too
lenient in the matter o. granting
bail to parties charged with
murder. 1t says "the law rs it
stands" is susceptible to a
"slack interpretations" aud our
contemporary thinks the judges
"s'rain it to The limit in this di-
rection "
a party charged with the com
mission Of a crime Is, in the eyes
Of the law, presumed to be in
nocent until he is proven guilty.
Why then, should a bail bond
be made any larger than is
necessary TO insure the Defend
ants appearance for trial :
When has a party in this STA e
charged with murder forfeited
his bail by failure to be on hand
when bis case was called? Is it
not fact that bail, whether
large or small, has always had
the effect OF bringing the accus
ed into court when wanted to
answer to an Indictment against
him?
The law does not contem
plate The punishment Of a party
charged with murder, or any
other offence for that matter, in
advance Of his conviction b. a
jury OF his peers, as would be
the case were he denied bal cr
the amount made exec ssiye,
thereby necessitating his going
to jail and remaining there until
bis trial comes off. This is Ger.
tainly true as a general PROPOSE
ton. OF course in a capital
case where 1.-The proof is evident
or the presumption great" the
Constitution declares that the
defendant shall not be bailed.
Such cases are indeed rare.

Narrow Escape

OF Passenger Train near Camden
Almost Runs into a Burning
Bridge.
Columbia, Oct. Especial to
News and Courier: The Sea
boards through south bound pas
senger train No. 81, due here at
lO:l5 a. M, on the way from the
North to Florida, had "a thrilling
escape this morning from destruc
ton, through a burning bridge,
spanning what is known as Jump
ing Gully, 60 feet high and 200
feet long, between Lugoff and
BIanev Station, near Camden.
The only warning the engineer
and crew had was the smoke and
flame they sighted 200 yards
away, as the train was rounding
a curve, running forty five miles
an hour. The engine was ravers
ed and the emergency brakes
were applied. The engineer got
his machine under control within
a car length of the north side of
the bridge. where the fire was
concentrated and where twenty
feet had been burned out. There
was JOY in that crowd of passen-
gers, numbering about fifty, and
they are eloquent In their praise
of the splendid work of Engineer
d. X. Wright, and Conductor
Walter Gibson and others.
