matter Of the "freedom OF the press
as involved in it.
Although the expressions that gave
offence to the Coopers were editorial
expressions from the pen Of the edl-
tor of the Tennesseean, Mr.. Carmack,
that gentleman was something more
than an editor. A larger part Of his
career was given to political actlvl-
ties than to journalism. Between the
newspaper editor, absorbed in the
duties of his craft and loving them,
and the editor-politician, the differ
ence is wide and not easily reconcll-
ed. Mr.. Carmack two years ago was
a United States senator and candidate
for reelection-not as editor. Last
summer Mr.. Carmack was a candidate
for governor-not as editor. He had
been engaged in newspaper work less
than two months when he was killed;
he had been defeated in contest
acrimonious and strenuous, and the
question may we'll arise whether OF
not he could have been expected to
preserve the poise and judicial attl-
tude that the editorial director of a
newspaper should have. Is the field
leader capable Of communicating calm
ly and judieially upon the campaign
Immediately after the last decisive
engagement? We think it fair, there
fore. to say that Mr.. Carmack's artl-
cles may have been the expressions i'll
part Of the politician and partisan,
much as they were also the utterances
of his newspaper. To say that they
were not would be to suppose that he
was more than human in his power to
separate himself as an editor frofn
himself as a man subject to ordinary
emotions.
The editor Of a newspaper should
not be a politician to the extent OF
cherishing ambition for office. The
utterances of newspaper should not
be those of man looking for politi-
cal preferment for himself.
Mr.. Carmack was not an active
politician when he was killed, but it Is
not going too far to say that his blood
had not cooled from the exertions Of
his last political conflict.

lating the. law.
The case Of the Congaree Gun Club
was also to have come up today, but
as Mr.. Bellinger. who represented the
respondents in this case also, desired
to attend the funeral of friend, it
was postponed. Mr.. DeBruhl stated
that in this case he would ask for d
reference to take testimony. The
manager Of the Congaree Gun Club
mentioned in the petition is Ed Poat,
and the location is pust across the
street from the location Of the City
Club. Both clubs are not closed and
have been since the service Of the
temporary injunctions.
The action Of Judge Gage excited
considerable comment today, as this
is the first time that such petition
has been refused. The attorney gen.
eral has secured a number Of injunc-
tions against alleged blind tigers in
this city and Charleston, and in near
lv every case his petition has beel,
granted without any delay. Most OF
the temporary injunctions were secur-
ed from Associate Justice Gary at
Abbeville, and were made permanent
by the supreme court, but circuit
judges have also signed the orders i'll
some cases. The refusal Of Judge
Gage to grant the order prayed for
today was evidently surprise to the
administration.

BeQuest to Temperance.

Probably the largest bequest ever
made to the temperance cause has
just been made public by the filing
Of the will Of the late John Crowle,
London merchant, who left a fortune
of about two and quarter million
dollars. Mr.. Crowle was Wesleyan
Methodist, whose life outside Of his
business was devoted, almost to the
exclusion Of everything else, to the
promotion Of temperance. He left
not less than $1,250,00O Of his money
to establish a fund for continuing the
work after his death. Its available
ity for this purpose, however, is con-
tingent on the Wesleyan Methodists
raising a like sum during the next
five years. The fund is to be III the
hands of a body of total abstainers,
and is to be used in numerous ways
specified by the testator. A number
Of ministers and women workers are
to be paid salaries for urging the
cause Of temperance in the pulpit, on
the lecture platform, and in relief
work, ard a certain sum is set aside
for "opposing in any part Of Eng
land the grant of licenses to public
houses, theatres, music halls, and 9TH
er places of entertainment

greatly missed by those who knew
and appreciated hin.. His kindness
Of heart, his generosity and his many
other admirable traits made him a

full outward manifestation Of the
high esteem in which Mr.. Barre was
held, for he sleeps beneath white
and fragrant mound. The funeral
services at Mrs. Werts' were con-
Quoted by his pastor, Rev. Mr.. Kreps.
The services at the grave were under
the charge of the local Masonic Or
der, assisted by Masons from New
berry.

MERCHANT STATE BANK TO

Several business houses in the city
will have changed their location
within month according to the
present arrangements lately made by
them. The store room until recently
occupied by the H. B. futile
stationery and confectionery store,
which business has just moved into
the Kerich & Moeglein building
across the street, as also the basement
of that part of the building, will be
occupied by the Chas w. Willing
drug store. Mr.. Willing will move
there from his present location in the
Realty Improvement company block in
about two or three weeks, and besides
his present fine line of drugs, cigars
and stationery and ice cream parlor,
he will have an excellent line of
candies. He may put in other lines of
goods also, if he finds he has room for
them. The St. Paul Dry Godds store
