Housebreaking Versus Murder.

The essentials of dispatch from
Laurens, published in The State yes
terduy, are again printed:
Win Goodman, white man, today
pleaded guilty OF manslaughter and
was sentenced to four years in the
penitentiarY or on the county works.
John Woody, negro, pleaded guilty
OF housebreaking and larceny and was
sentenced to seven years in the peni-
tentiary or on the county works.
We are not informed OF the degree
OF aggravation in the housebreaking
and larceny case, but ii is difficult to
conceive OF its being 50 great as to
ishment as that imposed for the awful
crime OF .an-slaying.
And here we have Goodman, the
white man, breaking down social bar
riers, seeking social equality. consort-
ing with negroes and killing one in a
dispute incident to the crap game.
He committed an offense against his
race, which was an aggravation of
the crime of man-killing.
A couple of days ago The state com
mented upon the fact that Laurens
white man. who pleaded guilty to
manslaughtcr for killing a negro In
crap game, was sentenced to four
years Imprisonment. while a negro,
who, at the same time, pleaded guilty
to housebreaking and larceny, was
sentenced 10 seven years. Although
we had not the particulars of the ne
gro's crime the disparity in the pun
ishments appeared inconsistent with
Justice.
Since then The state has got more
light, and +. aggravates the incon-
gruity. ~ white man consOrted
with nC )es, and gambled with them.
He was .rmed, and he was after their
money In gambling row, he killed
one. The case was of such character
that the white gambler did not even
plead self-defense, and was satisfied
to get plea OF manslaughter accept
ed by the solicitor. lie, gambler with
negroes and man-slayer, was SEN
fenced to four years in prison.
On the same day, John Woody, ne
gro, pleaded guilty to the charge OF
breaking into the store OF II. Terry,
and stealing about $2l worth OF
goods" He was sentenced to seven
years Imprisonment.
Fave not the aw-loving, life-re-
specting people OF South Carolina the

lives that are yearly sacrificed in this

On Answering Letters.

From the Providence Tribune.
'-Apropos OF the lost art of letter writ
ing. owing To the advent of the typewriter
and the picture post card" said the man
who sometimes demonstrates mildly, ave
been reproaching myself for several years
for negiecting my personal correspond
ence. On occasions il really got on my
nerves. I'd wake up In the night and
promise myself that I'd not only answer
all the letters that I'd ignored. but that
Id write 10 people to whom I knew I
should write. But when daylight came
and things looked different Id put IL all
off again.
Finally I did make a desperate effort
and kept my word to myself or partly
kept it, ] wrote To a lot of people expect
ing to receive prompt replies. but I'll be
blessed II I've had single line from any
OF those acquaintance and friends, and
that was months ago. They were every
one of them bad as | had been or
worse. perhaps. II there's anything
hate it's To go around abusing myself for
sins Of commission or omission-convinced
that I'm far more cilpable than the rest
of the world--and then suddenly discover
that I'll measure up To the standard OF
the average man or woman. that I've
been suffering inwardly for no cause"

About the only military news for the
week seems to be that Of guessing where
Massachusetts is going to be attacked
during the week of August IA TO 81 in
elusive" the Boston News says. Several
weeks ago the News guessed that the at
tack would be made somewhere about
this section
mains to be seen The military author
tiles al the state house made haste 10 is
sue statements that while they didn
know. and nobody outside of Gen. Wood
knew where the attack was going TO be
made. it wasn't going to be made in this
vicinity.
This rather ambiguous statement has
been regarded by some local millttantea
as somewhat significant. Ii tho News
guess wasn't a pretty fair one, WHY
should these military folks in Boston
hasten to come out and deny TIE ac-
curacy Of the guess and III the same para
graph say that nobody knows except Cen.
Wood where the attack will take place?
How do they know II isn't" IS asked.
THE latest guess is the South shore
or the cape, somewhere between Province
town and Scituatc. This guess is founded
on the fact that that section IS weakly
defended, there being no forrihcationS be-
tween Hull and New Bedford. On this ac-
count some Boston suesSers have 'doped
out a feint on the North shore with the
real attack on the South shore. Wher-
ever the attack comes, one thing i GER
tain and that is that the I'd Corps Cadets
and Company III of the Sth Infantry Will
be Johnnie the spot to so wherever
they are ordered"
