MANSLAYER ARRESTED.
Richard Huff, Colored, Landed in
Laurens County Jail.

LAURENs, March 17.-Deputy
Sheriff A. R. Sullivan at 2 O'Clock
last night lodged in the county jail
Richard Huff, a young negro man OF
Dial township, whom the officer ar
rested over on Reedy river about 9
o'clock last night.
Huff is charged with shooting and
killing an old negro by the name OF
John Langford late Friday afternoon
in Dial township, II miles west OF
LaurenS.
According to statements of eye
witnesses, the shooting of Langtord
was without cause. Huff, it appears,
was with a party of other negroes
going along the road. Langford
came along in a wagon. In jollylng
some of the party, including HUFF,
the old negro playfully cracked his
whip at the pedestrians. This made
Huff, mad, who deliberately leveled
his shotgun on Langford and shot
him dead in the wagon.
On the other hand Huff claims
that he did not know the gun was
loaded and did not intend to kill the
old negro.

Hayseed Rather Wise.

The 'shayseed" and ''Rube" stories
of the yellow press, put forth to
show what suckers farmers are, find
contradiction in the following anus
ing incident, which shows that at
least one tiller of the soil was fully
equal to the occasion: An old Penn
sylvania farmer, while on a visit to
Philadelphia, was taken with a VOL
dentist, was informed that the tooth
must be extracted, and that he had
better take gas for the operation.
The patient agreed to this and then
started to count his money. The
dentist remarked, "Oh, you need not
pay me until l have finished" Il
reckon not" replied the farmer,
"but if you are going to make me
unconscious thought I'd jest like

Young Lady Runs Burglar.

GEORGETOWN, March ia bold
attempt at robbery was frustrated
last night by the coolness and pluck
of a young lady Of this city, Miss
Lottie Taylor, who resides with her
aunt, Mrs. Butts, on Front street: +,
Shortly after dark Miss Taylor
went to her room, and hearing a sus-
picious noise in the adjoining apart
ments occupied by Mrs. Butts, she
went in to investigate. By the dim
light from her room she saw negro
man taking things from the bureau,
and almost at the same instant the
burglar saw her. He appeared to
have a drawn knife in his hand. Miss
TAYLOR was fortunately armed with a
hair brush and this she pointed at
the man, telling him to stop or she
would shoot. He obeyed, and re-
treated toward the window. Miss
TAYLOR knew where Mr.. Butts pistol
was located, and quickly securing
this, she fired at the negro as ne dis
appeared through the window.
Whether the shot took effect or
not has not been ascertained, but
considerable valuable jewelry belong
ing to Mrs. Butts was found on the
ground outside tied up in a handker-
chief, where the thief in his pre-
cipitate flight had dropped it: Miss
Taylor is a skilful shot, both with
rifle and pistol, and she thinks she
had a good bead on the intruder and
hit him.
The policemen are securing the
town for traces of the man, but up
to this time nothing has been found
to lead to the arrest of anyone.

It seems that w. T. Faucet, who
lived in Bamberg a few years ago, is
having some trouble in Union, where

Cutting Scrape In SaIuda.

SALUDA, March 18.-News has
just reached here of a serious cut
ting affray on yesterday near Good
Hope church in this county, Bill De-
Loach being the party doing the
grand act with the knife, and Geo.
Blanton furnishing the meat to be
carved. Both are young white men:
Blanton was cut across the neck and
other parts Of his body. 1t was
thought at first that the wounds
would prove fatal, but it now
appears Blanton will recover. Whis-
key, it is alleged, was at the bottom
of the trouble.
Young Blanton is the son of Jack
Blanton who, as constable years
ago, killed a negro at Spartanburg,
was tried, convicted and sentenced
to be hanged and was pardoned by
Governor (now Senator) Tillman. :

The Baptist Press, which has been
published at Union by Revs. L. M.
Rice and V. I. Masters, has been sold
to the Baptist Courier, and the two
papers will be consolidated. It is
stated that Mr.. Masters will start a
denominational paper in the far
west, where there is an inviting field.
It seems that these brethren have
done the sensible thing. South Car
olina is not large enough to support
two good denominational papers such
as the Courier and Press.

Why They Wanted to Win.

We knew Of only one case in which
a man has tried to select wife by a
competitive examination. Fifteen Ia
dies entered for the matrimonial prize
and sat down to a paper Of questions
Of which the following are samples:
Name seven kinds Of pie and de-
scribe how each is prepared. Do you
advocate the use Of chewing rings for
teething children? Give in 100 words
your views on suitable dress when
married.
The climax came when the man who
set the paper proposed to the winner.
She refused him point blank, and 80
did the other fourteen.-London Tit

The Columbia Record laments the
fact that the editorial columns OF
most country newspapers are weak,
many of them containing no editorial
matter at all. The charge. is very
largely true. Many weekly news
paper men do not write editorials,
yet. as rule they are well Informed
men, holding definite opinions on
subjects which occupy the public
mind. We are glad to say that we
know of very few if any ''me toos'
in South Carolina journalism. But
they do not write their opinions for
their newspapers, and this is largely
explained by the statement that
many of the country editors are also
practical printers and they devote
too much time to the mechanical
part of their Offices. But they can't
help it, for the income is not SUI
fcient oftentimes to employ the
necessary help and pay living wages,
and as a consequence the editor has
to be the handy man. around the
efFice, doing everything from sweep
ing the floor to making up forms
and doing job work. Too often he
has to be chasing around for money
to pay off with, meeting with dis
appointments all along the way, and
his mind is in no condition to grind out
editorial matter which is live and
strong and readable. The point is
that~there are too many newspapers,
and that is what we started out to
say. Take many of the towns IN
this State, and there are two and
some times more newspapers occupy
ing the field, when there is only a
good living for one. As a conse-
Quence there are TWO or more weak
newspapers, struggling for exist
ence, where only one could be pub
lished proftably and be a credit to
the town and county. And we look
for a thinning out before very long.
With the prices Of printing material
daily growing higher and labor con-
ditions becoming more and more un-
settled and few boys being learned
the printing business in country Of
fees, several newspapers cannot
exist. This may seem something Of
a calamity, but it will really be the
best thing that could happen, both
for the public and the newspapers.

Moral Snobbery.

One of the commonest forms Of snob-
bishness is not social at all, but moral.
Many people are moral snobs who
have not a grain of social ambition.
When Napoleon said, 81 am above mo-
rality," he not only gave expression to
what some great people have secretly
thought about themselves, but to what
thousands Of their small admirers have
openly said Of them. They do not
reflect. perhaps, as they justify their
heroes, that to declare any one In the
world above morality Is to say that
morality has ceased to exist, has been
found out and exploded, nothing re-
naming but some utilitarian rules suit
able for the guidance Of mediocre
minds. The moral law must be su-
preme or nowhere. Yet this, as 1t
seems to us, self evident proposition is
by no means easy to apply. Most OF
us feel that for any one to lay too
much stress upon the moral shortcom-
inss Of a great man is sign OF
small mind or at least Of defective
education. We do not habitually speak
Of Nelson in respect Of Lady Hamilton,
Of Burns In respect Of his marriage,
of Bacon in the matter Of his proved
corruption, Of Coleridge in connection
with his opium habit or Of Charles
Lamb in his cups as we should speak
of Smith, Brown and Robinson In like
circumstances. Must we, then, admit
ourselves to be moral snobs? The
prima facie evidence Is very much
against us-London Spectator.
