Enforce The vagrant Law.

Criminal assaults upon helpless
women are becoming alarmingly
frequeDt-three in South Carolina
within ten days. Lynching, which
is almost invariably the sequel of
such crimes, seems not to prevent
them. What, then, must be done?
Are we to stand supine!y by and
not protect our dtfenseless women
against fends iu human form?
The suggestion Of mounted rura;
pol;cs, as means Of prevention
has been made. also the nrming of
girls and women for self-defelHsa.
1t has been fu -lher suggested that
a better enforcement of the vagrant
law would greatly reduce all crimes
We believe the latter to be the
most practical suggestion yet
made. AS a rule, the law-abiding
citizens ara those who are regular
ly employed, while, OH the other
hand. the criminal element of any
community is composed of persons,
both white and colored, who are
idlera, loafers, vagabouds, who
work only when dire necessity
forces them to. Put the idle,
floating element to work and all
crimes will diminish. There
should be some concert of action
along'this line among the white
people.

Fhe heaviest vote
that has been cast since tie dis
memberment of the old county,
was polled on Tuesday.
We publish the vote in tahula-
ted form, and while it may not be
entirely accurate-Eo absolutely
correct statement being possible
till the official count. is made
yet we believe no error will be
found sufficiently large to change
the result.
According to the returns sent
in, there will be only two second
contests in the county Offices. Mr..
D. P. Self and Capt. ]. R. Block
er will make a second race for
County Supervisor, and Messrs.
r. C. Grfis and w. T.. Turner
will run again for County Com
missioner.
AS to the congressional race:
Very meagre returns have been
received from over the district.
Congressman Patterson leads Dy.
comfortable majority in this
county, is second in saluda, and
carries Barnwell, Beaufort and
8amberg counties by large ma
jorities. He may be elected on
first ballot.
At this writing "wednesday
afternoon) no de6nite informa-
ton can be given as to the. state
officers. Ansel leads for governor
by good majority, with Manning
second. Lyon received tremendous
vote in many sections of the state,
may be elected on first ballot.

Trains collided.

!: What might have been a very seri-
GUS wreck occurred just west of the
Moorhead & Southeastern junction on
Sunday night of this week, when coast
passenger train No: 3, in charge of
Conductor T.. N. Crowder and Engi-
neer Pat Blake, .collided with extra
No. 772, in charge of Conductor John
Stull and Engineer Erick. johnson.
The extra was running at good rate
Of speed but Blake had discovered the
danger and was endeavoring to back
up when the crash came. The shock
demolished the front ends of both en-
.gines and wedged them together in
such shape that they we're pulled into
town without hauling them apart.
None of the passengers were injured
and none of the coaches were much
the worse for the encounter but the
freight was badly wrecked and a num-
Der OF the cars were put in the ditch,
and one Of the freight brakemen had
his foot smashed. A carload of en-
igrant stock was scattered about and
one horse was killed. No. 3 was pull
ed back into town and sent around by
Fargo. The wreck was picked up
Monday by the local wrecking crew.
