Let Every Taxpayer Come.

There is no gainsaying it, the
pennywise and pound foolish
idea is demonstrated when we
considerClarendon's wooden and
fire menaced court house. II
this court house was to be de-
stroyed, the probability is therec-
ords would go with it, and we
doubt if many persons have
thought for a moment what the
destruction of our records would
mean to those who have proper
ty to pay taxes upon.
Let the records Of this county
be destroyed and there would
result untold litigation, claim
ants would arise to property
they have no interest in, possibly
property their forefathers sold,
or property taken from them un-
der order Of court to satisfy debt,
or perhaps through the contin-
gent fee system claims would be
made to property with view to
extort money from the innocent.
There are many who would rath-
er submit to a sholdup" of a few
dollars rather than undergo the
anxiety Of a law suit. They
would submit to the imposition
even by doing so they lay them
selves liable to another "hold-
up"
There are many inconvenlen-
ces the public would be liable to
if our records were destroyed.
The question then is, are our peo-
pie willing to be thus menaced
by continuing this unsafe, un-
comfortable and inadequate de-

Unsatisfactory VERDICT.

A reading of Judge Hydrick's
reasons for refusing to grant 6
new trial in the cases Of Camp
fire Bill" and George Spivens
convicted of the murder of J. g.
Gaillard, does not impress the
reader as being a confident de-
cision. The jury, after seeing the
witnesses and hearing the testi
money, rendered a verdict which
does not do Sumter county
credit. J. E. Gaillard was the
victim of an unprovoked murder,
no excuse whatever was shown
at the trial for taking his life,
that his killing was the result
of a devillsh spirit Of wantoness
there is no doubt, then his alleged
slayers were either guilty OF
murder. or innocent, no room
for extenuating circumstances
upon which to base a recon.
mendation for mercy, one or both
of the prisoners was guilty OF
murder, and should suffer the
death penalty, but the fact of an
intelligent jury, the foreman a
man of prominence, returning a
compromise verdict, leaves room
to suppose the jury were not al.
together satisfied with the proof
that the parties on trial were the
men guilty of the crime-there
was doubt, and it must have
been a strong doubt, or, under
the circumstances the jury would
not have spared the death pen.
atty. That such doubt existed
is affirmed in Judge Hydrick's
remarks in refusing to grant a
new trial. He intimated that
testimony was suppressed be,
cause of fear; and that the whole
facts had not been brought out,
and yet, from his own remarks
witnesses may have been intlml-
dated and the verdict was a COM
promise to appease public senti-
ment. He, after virtually intl-
mating that the prisoners had
not had a fair and an impartial
trial, would not rise above the
public sentiment and give the
prisoners another chance.
We regard the verdict as un-
just to the dead as we'll as the
living, to the dead, because his
murderers should be hanged, the
living if their Identity was not
established beyond a reasonable
doubt. they should not be made
to suffer, for it's better that
ninety-nine guilty escape than
one innocent man be made to
suffer. We also regard the re-
marks and action of Judge Hy-
drick unjust. He heard the testi.
mony, looked the witnesses in
the face, was in position to form
a Judgment, and if in his opinion
the case was shrouded in mystery
and anything was withheld
through fear or favor as he in
timated, it was his duty as a
matter Of even-handed justice to
grant new trial.

The news from the elections
yesterday show that the Repub-
licans carried nearly everything.
New York went Republican by
about $4,000. The cities in New
York State were carried by
Hearst, but the rural vote went
for Hughes. The detection in the
Democratic ranks because Of the
nomination of Hearst gave the
State to the Republicans. The
Democrats are not without hope.
Texas and South Carolina re-
main faithful. The new State Of
Oklahoma was carried by the
Democrats: and that party will
have the framing of the new con-
stitution. The next Congress
will have a large Republican
majority, Notwithstanding the
fact that Chairman Griggs
claimed the earth and the full
ness thereof for Democracy, but
the Phillistines remain in posses
sion of the temple.

Needles.

Needles are all made by machinery
The piece of mechanism by which the
needle is manufactured takes the rough
steel wire, cuts it into proper lengths,
files the point, fattens the head, pierces
the eye, then sharpens the tiny instru-
ment and gives it that polish familiar
TO the purchaser. There is also ma
chine by which needles are counted
and placed in the papers in which they
are sold, these being afterward folded
by the same contrivance.

Police Protection.

Inc many crimes cOmmlLCed III
the rural communities in this
State deserves serious attention:
and while it may seem that there
is a plenty of statutory law to
reach these crimes, there is not
that distribution Of protection
to meet the demands in order
that crime may be prevented as
much as possible, and where
committed, the lack Of a proper
machinery to execute the law
quickly, affords opportunity for
escape, thus emboldening the
criminally inclined.
It has been suggested that the
Legislature provide a rural police,
and it is argued thatsuch officers
will be largely instrumental in
preventing criminals from es.
Gaping, but the advocates Of
such a system do not reckon up
ION the cost. A rural police to
be efficient must be mounted and
on guard duty all of the time. 1t
would not be practical for the
lack of means to support it. In
stead of a rural police force IN
each county doing patrol duty, it
has occurred to Us that the legls-
lature might give authority to
the three township assessors,
making them justices of the
peace. authorized by law to COM
mand the peace in case of a dis
turbance and also giving to them
the authority to issue warrants,
and appoint constables to exc
cute their warrants: having it so
the constable making an arrest
under a warrant issued by one Of
these justices, must take the
prisoner before the nearest magls
trate. This plan would provide
three law>offcers in each town
ship with power to furnish the
means for the immediate appre-
hension of one who has commit
ted a crime, and by being thus
supplied with protectors, the ru-
raj communities will have almost
as much protection as the aver
age small town. It is very sell
dom that we hear Of certain
crimes being committed in places
where there are police, or near
where there is a magistrate; the
presence of these officers has a
deterrent effect, and it is our
judgment that if we had more
officers scattered about in the
country, the effect would be a de-
crease of all manner Of crime.
We would not advocate the null
tiplying Of officers where the
same would drain the public
treasury, and in suggesting the
of clothing, three township acces-
sors with the power oissue war
rants, we would not have them
to get additional pay, this addi-
tional power any patriotic citi-
zen would accept as a protection
for his community and the con.
stable serving the process would
gladly do so for part of the fine
or other compensation based up
on conviction.
There should be some means
promised by our laws that will
insure safety to those living
away from incorporated towns,
and aside from what we regard
an impracticable theory-the ru-
raj police, on account of the e1-
pense, the plan Of making mag
isterial officers of our township
assessors, strikes US as being
worthy Of consideration. We
should like for the press of the
State to take this matter up for
discussion before the general as
sembly meets.
