take any risk as to their pocket books
or hides in such a matter; but we
know also that there are newspaper
men who are willing to sacrifice their
lives and their fortunes rather than
try to dodge what they know to be
their sacred duty to their fellow citi-
Zens.
Of course this bill applies only to
false statements, published with intent
to defeat any candidate for office. AS
we have said, a man who publishes
such false statement, deserves to be
punished, and we say also that If the
, only object Of the publication be to de-
feat men for office, there should be
punishment whether the statement be
false or true.
But suppose the only object of a
statement be to let the public know
the facts-suppose as is the case nine
ty-nine times out of a hundred-the
position of the publisher is like this:
Here are the facts. We give them to
you not with any recommendations as
to what you should or should not do;
but leave you to act as you see proper
in the premises" Can there be any
law to prevent that? If there could
be such a law, would It he wise to have
it?
No, we have no objection to this bill
not the slightest objection; but as we
have remarked, we see no necessity
for II.

THE SUPREME COURT.
News and Courier Thinks Governor Is
Treadinq on Dangerous Ground.

Governor Blease's latest message-his
seventh in a period of less than two
weeks-appears to have been received
in the senate with scant respect and
even with a certain measure OF resent
ment. The governor is like boy with
his first slingshot; he is trying his
aim at everything in sight. First 1t
was the newspapers and the ministers,
then the dispensary constables and the
notaries public, next the winding-up
commission, and now it is the supreme
court and those public officials who
have also accepted appointments as
life trustees of Clemson college, in vio-
lation, as Governor Blease argues. Of
the mandate of the state constitution.
1t is not always the hunter who
fires the oftenest, however, who brings
down the most game; and an approv-
ed method of committing suicide is to
blister an elephant with bird shot. Mr.
Blease is perfectly safe in blazing
away at the newspapers; that is every
mans privilege, and Mr. Blease's in an
especial manner. The public has no
objection to seeing the disnensary
| winding-up commission investigated,
the public having a notoriously short
memory and it's sense of gratitude to
the men who undertook the disagree
able task of cleaning up the nasty mess
of the old whisky machine having long
since been dissipated. We think, how
ever, that Mr.. Blease will find, no mat
ter what the surface indications have
led him to believe, that there is still
an odor of sanctity about our courts.
and that, while the people do not hold
them as being above criticism, 1t is de-
manded that he who assails them shall
know what he is talking about and be
prepared to substantiate what he says.
AS worded, Governor Blease's mes
sage does not warrant the belief that
he gave due consideration to the effect
of that portion of it in which he sug
gests that the practices of the supreme
court be investigated. 1T is intimated
by some," he says, that our supreme
court extends one of it's sessions, or
| terms, into or up to the very days Of
the beginning of the next. in order that
they may hold their decisions and
hand them down when it is conven-
lent. without any interference from
constitutional or statutory provision"
What is this on it's face, but an at
tempt to pillory our highest court on
suspicion? Is 1t either just or seemly
for the head Of one branch of the state
government to suggest, upon such
foundation as is here alleged, that
members of one of the two other
branches are breaking the fundamen-
tai law Of the state? Do intimations
Justify tments?-Charlesto News
and Courier.

1t gives us pleasure to he able to
announce that at last Governor Blease
has sent 10 the general assembly a
message in which we can find no fault,
either as to the subject matter or
manner of handling. We refer to the
message of last Saturday with refer
ence to obedience to the constitution
and laws of the state.
The suggestion has been made that
the message referred to is purely polit-
al for h" purpose of evening up
with a political opponent in the gov
crnor's own county; hut with this we
have nothing to do. 1t is ours only to
consider the paper on its merits as a
message from the governor of South
Carolina to the general assembly Of

CHARGED WITH BURGLARY

Wylie and John Haffner, father and
son, and Jim Crosby, negro, who live
in Bulock's Creek township, some
miles south of Sharon, were arrested
last week and committed to Jail on the
charge of burglary.
The town of Sharon had been stirred
up for about a week on account of a
series of burglaries that had taken
place. Seven gallons of whisky had
been stolen from the depot, Mr.. Dan
Pratts dining room had been robbed
of butter, cakes and jelly, two hams
had been taken from Mrs. Jemima PlaX-
icos meat house, some tools had been

Buncombe.

ANY person who shall with mali
cious intent. originate and publish or
publish any false statement or matter
concerning another, the effect of which
shall tend to injure such person in his
or her character or reputation or which
shall be so published with the intent
to defeat any candidate for any public
office in this state, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon
conviction therefor, be subject to pun
ishment by fine not to exceed $4,000
or by imprisonment for term not ex-
ceeding one year or hv both fine and
imprisonment in the discretion of the
court"
The foregoing bill which has passed
the senate without opposition and
which will probably pass the house in
the same manner would he all right If
it were necessary; but as it stands we
regard it only as so much buncombe.
Any person who, with malicious in
tent, originates and publishes
any false statement or matter
concerning another, the effect of which
shall tend to injure such person in his
or her character or reputation" or who
shall publish such false statement
with the intent to defeat any candi-
date for public Office" is deserving of
the severest punishment the law can
devise.
We have not taken the trouble to
look the matter up; but as we under
stand it, there is nothing in the above
bill any more drastic than is to be
found in the common law. On the
contrary, the common law is even
more severe in that it fixes no limit
10 the punishment that can be meted
out.
The man who will deliberately lie
about another, or deliberately publish
lie about another is unspeakably
contemplate.
But we do not see anything in this
proposed bill that attempts to prevent
any person from publishing the truth
about anybody, and we confess that we
are unable to conceive how the general
assembly could prevent this even if it
should try to do so.
The simple fact that thing is true
is not justification for its public use
either by an ordinary gossip or news
paper. In addition to being sure of
the truth of a statement before giving
it publicity, it is necessary and proper
next to inquire whether publicity is
necessary.
For instance a man may be thief,
and the fact may not he generally
known. If some other man who is
aware of the fact gives publicity to it,
not for the public good, but Tor pure
personal malice against the other fcl-
low, then the man giving such pub
licity, whether he be only an ordinary
private gossip. or newspaper editor
or reporter, is as contemplate as the
thief, and should be punished accord
ingly
But suppose a man who is candi-
date for a public Office is known to he
guilty of having done things for which
decent public is unwilling to stand.
does anybody suppose that a ncwspa-
per having full knowledge Of the facts,
is going to he deferred from the pub
lication of those facts, because of a
possibility of fine or imprisonment?
We know very we'll that there are
newspaper men who are as contempt
ible as any other class of men who
