That conditions such as are
disclosed by the Campbell-Gar-
rett tragedy, in Lee county, exist
among white people in South Caro-
lima is so shocking aS to be almost
incredible. But for the mercy
shown Garrett in imposing sentence
for his unnatural and revolving crime
in the first instance the Camp
bells would probably be alive today.
If two years Imprisonment is the
penalty for such a crime as that
committed by Garrett the law
should be amended. Such lenien-
cy but encourages a moral degener-
ate to continue his vicious course
and inspires in him a contempt
for the law.

We do not exactly understand the
logic of Governor Blease in remov-
ing the State constables. Under the
law as it is now and even was be-
fore the decision of the supreme
court in regard to the Webb law,
liquor could be shipped for personal
use, and this decision does not change
the status. If constables were need
ed and necessary before the decision
of the supreme court, it would ap-
pear to us that they are just as nee
essary since that decision.

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM SMITHS.
John BARLEYCORN' ACTIVE
OLD VETERAN ANSWERS THE
LONG ROLL.

Smiths, May 30:-lt appears tnaI
John Barleycorn is putting in some
of his biggest licks just now. Being
a devoted disciple of Bacchus and a
trusted page in King Alcohol's court,
he appears to be presuming beyond
his limit. Recently some three or
four of the young scions of some of
the proudest old aristocracy of Will
liamsburg county, being full of ami
nation, started out one dark night
"possum" hunting. They happened
to meet with this fellow Barleycorn,
who told them that he knew where
they could catch'possums by the ship
load and if they would follow him
he would see that they should have
the best time of their lives. But
alas for the best laid plans of mice
and men! They discovered to their
horror that they were deserted, lost,
left in the dark, and what was worse,
they found themselves in an old COL
ored woman's chickens and she was
raising quite a fuss, saying two of
her finest hens were absent. Boys,
let Barleycorn alone. he is unworthy
Of your patronage.
Another old veteran, Mr. j Lazurus
Mcknight, has fallen by the wayside.
He was member of Major Lands
company, but this writer knows nei-
ther the letter of the company nor
the number of the regiment. He
was with the regiment in all the
gallant fighting around Petersburg.
He came home after the surrender.
Mr. Mcknight was born in Williams
burg county in January, 1845. being
one of triplets. When four years of
age he was burned nearly to death,
and it was thought that he never
entirely recovered. For the last ten
or twelve years he had been living
with his nephew, Hon w ] Smiley.
He was stricken with paralysis on
the 9Th inst and suffered just one
week, the end coming with the Sec
ond stroke. He was laid to rest on
the 18th inst amid a large gathering
of relatives and friends. The floral
offerings were splendid. He leaves
two daughters. four brothers and
two sisters to mourn his loss.
Ye scribe is informed that the
school taught by Miss - Edwards
of Latta at the McGill school house
will close this week. Guess the little
folk are. glad that they will now have
at least few weeks rest and recre-
alton. There are but few better
teachers than Miss Edwards, and she
is deservedly popular. In addition
to preparing the minds of the young
to battle with the world, some
months since she organized -four
ishing Sunday-school, teaching her
scholars to prepare also for the
world to come, and when she leaves
us to return to her home she will
have the friendship. love and best
wishes of the whole community.

When the present law was reported
from the house committee. all but one
member favored equal tolls for Amer
lean ships. The exception was Frank

latter, from an important lake ship
ping district, offered an amendment
for free tolls for American ships. His

Democrats from ship-Owning or build

ported 1t. There were more Demo-
Gratis In the house opposed TO the
amendment than favoring 1t.
when the bill reached the senate
the same legislative condition was re-
peated. The free tolls proposition was
not passed as Democratic policy.

Some confusion has been created in
the public mind by mixing up with
this question the purely diplomatic
and ethical question as to whether the

not be carried to extremes. There are

coslwise trade. There Is no competl'
ton between coastwise vessels.
This combination Is what receives
the benefit Of free tolls through the
Panama canal under the present law.
Free tolls does not necessarily mean
lower freight rates. With a hard and
fast monopoly the free toll becomes

1t is a subsidy handed TO trust.
That is the way Mr.. Wilson views
the matter. He Is opposed to snip
subsidies. In many OF his speeches
during the pre-convention campaign
he declared himself on this subject.
He sees no reason for taxing the con-
sumner generally in order to put sub
sidy money in the pockets Of rich
proprietors Of the coastwise shipping
monopoly.
There Is a pleasant sound In the
phrase free tolls, for American ships
but In the opinion Of President Wilson
It is very misleading phrase. He Is

SO beneficial to the consumer as the
popular phrase free tolls for Amer

At least, this is the administration
point Of view.
The so-called Root bill for the re-
peal OF the free tolls law Is In reality
the Sims bill II was introduced first
by Thetus w. Sims. OF Tennessee, I'm

sired TO make speech on the diplo-
