LET Law. NOT PREJUDICE RULE.

An editorial in the Columbia
State last Friday referring to the
graft cases mas the sound Of try
ing to wake the county newspa-
perS up to scheme to build a
sentiment that will force & con-
viction at Chester. We do not
think it is the duty OF newspa-
per to persecute men charged
with offences against the State,
and if the newspapers are going
to try the accused there is no use
for jury. There is no disposi.
ton on the part o. any Of the
newspapers to defend the graft
tiers, as The State seems to i'm
agine, but while this is so, we do
not think the newspapers should
undertake to manufacture q SEN
timent to CONVICT or acquit
for the violations Of law
in the graft cases any more
than in any other cases Of
law violation. Il is the duty Of
the press generally to urge the
enforcement OF all Of the laws of
the State, and not confne itself
to any one particular violation.
The parties charged with br;5,
cry and conspiracy in the dis
pensary affairs. are TO face jury

Of school trustees Of the rural

Now we should like to ask the

The trial and acquital o
Madame Steinheilin Paris should
be splendid text for a red hot
denunciation of the jury by our
morning contemporary in the city
on the banks of the Congaree.
Why: that French jury must have
had no regard for their oaths,
they broughtabouta a miscarriage
Of justice. They had woman
before them charged with most
gruesome murder. and the jury
set her free. It is about time for
France to revolutionize her jury
system so that an accused once
charged, will be convicted, espec-
tally if there is any politics be-
hind the prosecution.

Liquor can no longer be legal

and with the sale Of this article
removeditis hoped that consump-
ton in Clarendon will be more
greatly decreased. In our opin,
ion much of the drinking in this
county since the Manning dispen-
sary closed. was due the nearness
Of the two towns on either side
Of US and while we believe :he

bring in large quantity, there
will be a falling OF among class
that will not take the trouble to

Prohibition in this county has
not had a fair test because the

that we are no longer surrounded

less difficulty in making the

TIE EXPLANATIONS CLEANS THINGS UP.

The letter OF Captain W. E
Gonzales replying to Senate:
Ti!lman's criticism OF the invita-
ton to the Taft luncheon makes
out a good case going to show
that the function given to the
president was IN reality State
affair, and we arc sure that had
it been SO understood at the time
several who declined the invita-.
ton would have accepted. The
impression made on the minds
of many was that the Columbia
Chamber of Commerce was be-
hind the scheme to entertain the
president, and therefore that
organization could not give a
function III the name of the State,
it being purely q local institu-
tion. Having Governor Ansel 70
act with the Mayor Of Columbia,
and the president of the Cham
Der of Commerce, and. Of the
State Bar Association does not
necessarily authorize State
junction, and our understand
ing of the matter was, that Colum
bia was to entertain the president,
and when those who assumed
charge discovered that it Was
a huge undertaking, and the
finances would be hard to COL
lect, then it was that they con
ceive6 tie idea Of raising the
money from those invited. But
Captain Gonzales letter, while
IN some respects does not show
by what authority a few men
could get together and giy an
entertainment in the name Of the
State, yet, according to his yer
sion things do not look so bad
and could have been explained in
private letters, and avoided a j
whole lot Of unpleasant misun-
derstanding.
As one who declined the CO
lumbia invitation we accept in
good faith the statement of Cap
tain Gonzales and have no hesi-
fancy in saying that had we un-
derstco6 the matter as it is ex>
planned we should have gone 20 I!
