Should Not Be Allowed.

Should the Legislature which
meets in January fail to take steps
to protect the good name of the State
J prohibiting the betting on horse
racing as will be done when the
track in Charleston and Columbia is
established, the matter should be
made an issue in the next campaign
and Legislature that will protect
the good name Of the State be sent
to Columbia as soon as possible. No
one objects to horse racing of itself,
but to the base use to which it has
been put.
This noble and harmless sport has
been prostituted to the basest pur-
poses, and the race track Is now
made the gathering place of the most
notorious gamblers and the habitants
and scum Of the tenderloin districts
Of the large cities Of the country.
The coming Of the race track means
the coming of the very lowest ele-
ments of men and women. We do
not want any sort Of enterprise to get
foothold in this State that will
bring such people to her borders.
State after State has driven out
horse racing, and it only comes to
South Carolina because it has no.
where else to go. Even New York rid
itself Of the peril OF horse race gam
bling. So has several other States,
inclujing Florida and Louisiana in
the South. Shall We allow it to find
resting place in South Carolina?
1t will do the cities in which it is
allowed to- establish itself great
harm. That is what it did for other
places where it was allowed.
Jacksonville, for instance, found
that the desirable class Of tourists
stunned that town when the races
were on. The coming OF the race
track to any city means the coming
Of the lowest element of men and
women, who pollute everything they
touch: Horse racing was not driven
out Of New York and Florida and
those other States by statutes for
bidding horse racing-there are NO
such statutes-but by statutes for
bidding gambling on the race tracks
and that took all interest out Of horse
racing.
When such laws were passed, horse
racing sought an asylum elsewhere,
demonstrating conclusirely that horse
racing as conducted in this country
at this time cannot exist without
gambling; and it il gambling OF the
worst sort. Mea and women of South
Carolina, remember that-espccially
when it IS urged that there is no
harm in good horse race. Of course
there is not, and horse racing is not
outlawed anywhere, but horse racing
Vaaishes when gambling is outlawei.
The Legislature should pass such a
law at its next meeting.

Most Disgraceful Affair.

-Four Of the brutes who confessed
10 participation in the turriAg 2t
a young lady school teacher at Lin
coin fentre, Han;as, has |een seu
tenced to one year in Jail, which is
the worst punishment that could be
inflicted by the courts Of Kansas for
such a crime. 1t is hard to believe
that such a disgraceful crime could
be committed in Il civilized country,
and it is pity that the brutes who
committed it escaped with such light
punishment. Some Of the men who
have confessed to being guilty of this
horrible crime are rich and leaders
in the community, but that did not
save them.
The young lady teacher who was
tarred was very pretty and popular,
and some of the young women in the
town in which she was teaching be-
came insanely jealous OF her and be-
gan to make plans to kill her popu-
larity. They told certain young mar
ried women that the young teacher
that she had been taking on" with
them, this OF course aroused their
anger. The girls also told their
sweethearts that the teacher had
been boasting that she had them "at
her feet" so to speak, and urged
them to resent it.
The result was that the little town
was stirred from center to circum-
ference. The young husbands and
single young men held meeting aud
determined to punish the young pref
ty school teacher they had been told
was doing so much talking about her
conquests over them. After some
deliberation they determined that she
should be punished, and they de-
cided upon the most cruel torture
they could think Of, which was to
apply hot tar to her person. The
young teacher was invited to dance,
and on her way in a buggy with a
man in the plot, she was taken from
the buggy and carried into some
nearby woods. There her clothes
were torn from her body and hot tar
poured on her.
The cowardly brute, who had de-
coyed the young woman from her
home on the pretense Of taking her
to a dance, was first arrested, and
coward like, he told on the others,
who, he said, had paid him for acting
his part in the horrible drama. Sew
eral arrests were made, including
some prominent men, socalled, OF the
town. When they were brought to
trial four of them confessed and two
more have been convicted. Men com.
mitting such a crime as this on q
defenceless woman are brutes Of Z
low order, and no punishment would
be too severe for them. To star,
with they should have been tarred as
they tarred the young woman and
then sent to prison.

Sell Property for Taxes.

Upon inquiry from M. E. ziegler,
Esq, County Attorney, Comptroller
General A. W. Jones has given the
ruling that under the law the sheriff
of county has the right to sell per-
sonal property belonging to tax
payer for delinquent taxes on real es-
tate. According to the code of 1902
the comptroller general says the
sheriff is directed to sell the per-
sonal property Of the taxpayer If suf-
fcient can be found before levying
upon real estate' The comptroller
general also rules that under an exc
cution for collection of delinquent
taxes due on any real estate of tax
payer in his county, the sheriff may
levy upon any personal property
found anywhere in the county, wheth-
er the taxes have been paid in the
county or not.

The South Carolina Way.

In a few days over four months af-
ter he brutally murdered his young
wife Henry Clay Peattie. Jr., was
arrested, tried, convicted, appealed
to the higher court and executed for
his horrible crime, after he had
made a cor9 9?ssion. Had he COM
mitted his crime in South Carolina, "
says the Spartanbu"g Journal, there
would have been one or E.ore con-
t:1rances Of TIE trial on account OF
absence of material witnesses, or to
allow excitement to die down. or for
some other of the many fake reasons
tnat are advanced fo1 tiis purpose
frequently with success
after conviction an appeal would
be taken to the supreme court on
the ground that the indictment was
defective in that somewhere in it a
"the" was omitted, or that it was
drawn with a fountain instead OF a
common steel pen, Or that the clerk
of the court stopped to blow his nose
while reading it, or that the trial
Judge refused to admit evidence
showing that the defendant had a
corn on the little toe of his left foot
or that the solicitor was too ve-
hement in his demands for convic-
ton. Regardless OF its merits the
appeal would without any order from
anybody automatically stay the exc
cution Of the sentence.
"If these grounds did not sufficient
ly impress the supreme court to Sc
cure q reversal and an order for a
new trial, when the decision was an
nounced request would be filed for
q "stay of the relnittitur" and after
some weeks there would be argued an
appeal for a "rehearing." Several
months more would be necessary to
get 8 decision on this. Then, If a
new trial was still refused, there
would be petitions circulated asking
the governor for pardon or at least
"parole," with excellent chance

The Journal draws a faithful pic
ture Of the procedure in the trial Of
most serious criminal cases In South
Carolina, which as the Journal says,
makes our criminal procedure a. joke
and the many delays permitted ira
vestry on justice. It would have been
almost an impossibility to have con-
victed and executed Beattie in South
Carolina. With his high social and
financial standing, and with circum-
stantial evidence only on which to
convict him, it Is doubtful if his
case would have gone before the
courts at all in this State. But the
swift justice that overlook Beattie
shows that it is quite different in Vir-
ginia.

AS a city We have much to be
thankful for. Our churches and
schools come first. All OF these in
stitutions are doing good works, anl
are as free as air. Let us be thank
full for them. We have able, conse-
Grated ministers in our churches and
our schools are in charge of thor
oughly efficient and conscientious
corps of teachers. The fraternal Or
ders f.lso have enjoyed unprecedented
acquisitions to their membership. In
the administration of our city govern
ment we have OCCASION for pride and
gratitude. Efficiency, honesty and
progressiveness have marked the con-
duct Of our municipal servants. In
manifold regards We have been
blessed abundantly.

withdrawing more and more into the
little circle of self. AS we become
more and more Independent of each
other, we become more and more
selfish, exact:ng and ungrateful, not
cnly toward the Lord but toward each
other.
But let Thanksgiving Day remind
us that we should be grateful; and
gratitude, like every other human
principles, comes to us by cultivation;
cultivation either from pressure of
circumstances or from self-imposed
discipline. But in these prosperous
times, few of US take the trouble to
impose much self discipline, or to
cultivate the noble principle of
thankfulness, but give full rein to
all the selfish instincts of the animal
nature, and especially to the greed
for money getting, and out OF this
state of affairs grow all the strifes of
the home and country.
1t causes all the strikes and con-
vulsions arising from the contentious
between capital and labor, and all the
anarchy, which attempts to extort
that which is not freely given, and
the only remedy that We see for this
fostering state of affairs is some aw-
full calamity, which shall wiring from
US the fragrance of human sympathy,
or some tremendous impulse that
will cause the people to put check
upon the selfish propeDsities and COM
pei us to acknowledge our mutual ce-
pendence upon each other as well as
upon the Lord Of Heaven. SO, well
come to Thanksgiving Day, and let
US learn lesson Of gratitude which
shall bring us, instead OF curse, q
blessing from our universal pros
perity
