MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.

The Fort Mills Is. c. Times in
commenting on the recent acquittal
at Mecklenburg court of two men
charged with murder, when the facts
tended to show that one of them at
least was guilty OF first degree muir
der, says:
This particular petit jury had a
precedent for acquitting the Hartises
in the verdict which was returned in
the Hood murder case last year.
Then, as in the more recent trial, the
State made out strongcase against
the accused, but in both instances
the law has been ravished and men
have been loosed upon society who,
perhaps, only await another favor
able opportunity to precipitate into
eternity additional victims.
There is something wrong with the
administration OF justice in the Old
North State. Red-handed murderers
stalk abroad up there and no mans
life is safe. But the same deplorable
condition of affairs exists in South
Carolina and the citizens of this State
are not in position to decry the spirit
OF lawlessness among our neighbors
to the north. Population considered,
South Carolina probably has more
murderers than North Carolina,
though it can be said in truth that
in recent years there have been fire.

New Banks in the South.
Manufacturers Record, July IA.

Manufacturers Record, July IA.
During the first half OF this year
there were reported in the columns OF
the Manufacturers Record 445 new
banks and trust companies formed in
the South. Including Missouri and
Oklahoma, the total was 500 ofsuch
institutions from>the first OF the year
to July /. This is a graphic illustra-
tion OF the rapidity with which bank
ing accommodations are being ex-
tended to all parts of the South.
The greatest number OF these finan-
cial concerns reported in any one
State during these six months was
lit, in Texas. and the least number
was 10, in West Virginia. Several
States reported IA each, thus: Ala
bama, Florida, louisiana and Mis-
, sissippi, Maryland reported -; Mis-
souri, 16; Arkansas and Virginia,
20 each; Kentucky and North Caro-
lima, 30 each; South Carolina 40;
Tennessee Al, and Georgia 4G. Okla
homa's total was large-59.
In this compilation are included
both State and National banks and
trust companies, besides private
banks and a few savings institutions,
the object being to report all con.
Germs affording banking accommoda.
tions to the public. In several in
stances the new concerns represent
the conversion OF an existing institu.
tion or a consolidation. but these are
comparatively few.

THE war has been a long time end
ed but the pension roll OF the Federal
government does not seem to de-
crease with the passing years. A re-
cent statement gives the number now
carried as 94G, G,0O0-very nearly one
million. This Notwithstanding the
fact that during the past four years
127,573 names Of old soldiers have
been stricken from the rolls by death.
Yet, says the account, the ingenious
pension legislation and the special
acts OF Congress have combined to
make the number Of persons drawing
pensions now, 45 years after the Civil
War, eight times as large as the year
after the war ended. The records
show that it is still growing. The
lump sum allowed By Congress for
payment OF pensions during the fiscal
year which closed July 4th was 160,-
600 900.

Swanson Pays Tribute to Senator
Daniel.

From his home in Chatham, Va,
writing to the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch, Ex-Gov. Swanson pays this
brief but beautiful tribute to Senator
Daniel:
Senator Daniel was pre-eminently
the most distinguished Virginian of
his generation. None excelled him
in knowledge of law. His work on
Negotiable Instruments is the best
law book since Judge Storey's pro-
duction. No lawyer of this day has
argued and conducted successfully
more important cases. No orator OF
his generation surpasses him. His
urations are classic, both in beauty
of expression and force of thought.
For almost forty years he was the
wise, loved and successful leader of
the Virginia Democracy. For almost
twenty-five years he had represented
the State with his rare and distiR-
guished ability in the United States
Congress. He will be remembered as
one of Yirginia's great Senators. He
has previously rendered great service
in the counsel of the State. He was
beautiful writer and essaylst. He
attained to great distinction in the
Civil War for gallantry and superb
quality as a soldier, and in almost
every field OF human endeavor he sue
cessfully labored with distinction.
His character was as striking ly noble
as his genius was great. Kindly,
courteous. the soul of honor and in
tegrity, clean and pure, the State
never produced finer example OF a
Virginia cavalier. His pure life, pub
lie and private, has been an inspira.
tion to young men and has created
in Virginia lofty ideals. He has been
a bulwark of purity. Virginia never
had a son more loved or more ad-
mired. The memory of his eioquence,
his godlike face, his superb bearing,
his great public service, earnest his
patriotism, his great and varied
achievements will ever linger in this
State as precious heritage.
