THE LAURENS TRAGEDY.

The killing of John NJ. Cannon, 9
prominent lawyer of Laurens coun'
ty, by Joseph G. Sullivan, a young
man of good standing and good fam
lily connection, as the outcome of
law suit in a Magistrates court,
brings up again, and most forcibly'
the offense Of earn ying concealed
weapons. Will this habit never be
entirely wiped out in the State? II
is true that a very small per cent Of
the citizens of South Carolina carry
concealed weapons, but from the
ranks of these few is made a record
of crime that has made the State q
"hissing and a byword" in the esti,
mation of the more orderly States Of
the Union.
We do not agree with the accepted
Theory that men carry pistols because
they are cowardly, as a general prop,
losition, but we do believe that the
habit of carrying concealed weapons
fosters a murderous. spirit And
why should a man cultivate the spir:
it of murder? Ask any man whose
misfortune has been that he has
Ieither through malice or in self-de.
tense been forced to kill his fellow
IMAM, and however iustifiable or un-
Unsuitable the homicide, he will tell
iyou the price paid is too dear. The
natural heart is as open to pity and
Iremorse as it is to passion, and the
face of the slain stays with the slayer
until the natural life is absorbed in
Ieternity. There is no doubling or
denying the fact that .homicides are
sometimes justifable in the sight OF
man, and even in the sight of |,
but-the slayer pays his penalty in re-
morse just the same. Passion flares
land fades, and even malice burns
out, but remorse fingers to the end.
The Laurens case brings up, Incl
mentally, another evil that is entirely
too common, and that is: the habit
|of some lawyers Of browbeating and
ridiculing witnesses on the stand. It
is doubtful if a lawyer strengthens
his case by such a course, and it is
certain that out of the practice has
grown many bitter quarrels.
The most trivial circumstance,
when held up to public gaze, either
in ridicule or sarcasm, may become
the cause of a deadly feud. In fact,
more than half the homicides that
burden the criminal Courts. of the
Estate may be traced to trivial circum-
|stances misunderstood or magnifed.

I had two reasons for such a con-

Of Mexican troubles, and he seems to
oe the only man in all that troubled
land who can and would establish
peace. Villa is a puzzle to the out
side world. AS a common bandit he
enlisted with Madero, was captured
after Madero's death and escaped
only to return with the new revolu-
tionists to avenge the death of his
erstwhile chief. Though in a large
degree illiterate, he speaks as a phi,
losopher and governs with the wis
dom and rigor of a Napolean.
English subject, by his direction citi-
Though the murderer of Benton, an
zens of the United States who were
threatened in Tampico by Huerta's
forces, were rescued and conveyed to
safety. When, his chief Carranza
would have resented interference by
the United States and the taking of
Vera Cruz, Villa smiled and said
that he had confidence in the United
States, and would not be drawn into
war with this country. Whatever
Ibis designs, he is showing decided
lfriendliness for the United States,
and expresses utmost confidence in
President Wilson. Then Villa, for
many reasons, is the logical instru-
ment through which this country
should seek to pacify Mexico. Villa
processes entire subordination to his
chief, Carranza. Then take him at
his word. Make Carranza president,
and Carranza will of caurse
be governed in all things by the
stronger arm of his lieutenant. Villa
will in effect be president, and the
man seems to be possessed of such
strong common sense, that in all
probability he will heartily agree to
this indirection, knowing that this
country can not and will not, recog-
lnize him directly.
The United States will make a Sc
rious mistake if it attempts to set up
las president any other man than
Villa, directly if this can not be
|avoided but indirectly if possible.
He is the man of the hour aqd the
idol of the Mexican people.

The English, French and erma

The English, French and German
governments ARE supporting the
United States in her demands on
Huerta, but the business interests OF
these, several countries look with sus-
4picient on5this eountry's course; and
especially 'isthis the case in France.
French papers do not look on
Huerta asa murderer, or:if they do,
they pass lightly over that part Of
his career marlborough him into the
provisional presidency. They pre-,
tend tothink that the United States
is supporting thesrevolutionary cause
because that cause is friendly to
American interests in Mexico,
whereas they allege that Huerta has
never, shown,a friendly front to citi-
zenssf the United States, or toward
United States interests. in Mexico.
The wisdom, then, of President
Wilson's course in showing the great:
est possible federation for Huerta in
his outrageous treatment of United
States citizens is beginning to dawn
on the. people of this country. While
he: may notenlist the support of for
jeignemerchants and corporations who
would compete with the United
States in Mexico, he has compelled
the support if not the friendship OF
the world powers.
Now, what should be the further
course of this government in Mexico?
1t is useless to, make any calculations
for pacifying Mexico that do not take
lin Villa, bandit though he was. He
is the idol of the common people OF
Mexico is the representative of that
. radical policy of cenfiscation and re-
distribution Of lands, SO repugnant to
civilized theories of government and
yet so necessary for final settlement

believe in the reality of ghosts, let me
say that there is nothing more false,
and that there never was an appari-
ton or so called ghosts that could not
be accounted for or explained away,
If only the effort were made.
I I remember some fifty or sixty
years ago there lived in the neighbor-
hood of the Buckstand which is about
half way between Abbeville and Due
West, a man known az little Billy
Henry.
Billy would occasionally come to
town and some times he would imbibe
a little too freely in strong drink and
would frequently stay in town until
after dark before leaving for home.
On n such occasion as he was
passing Long Cane cemetery then
called by everyone, Long Cane grave
yard. Billy saw two large white OBJ
jects in the midst of the tombs, one
of which was larger than the other;
teh smaller of the two objects was
moving slowly up and down, where
upon Billy put spurs to his horse and
passed by as rapidly as possible.
After going some distance he STOP
ped and not being naturally a coward
he resolved to go back and investigate
the matter, as he was not disposed to
believe in such things as ghosts.
On his return to the grave yard the
objects which he at first suspected as
being ghosts, had moved nearer to the
public road, wehn he discovered thai
they were a pair of old gray carriage
horses belonging to a gentleman by
1.-The name Of Watt, who lived nearby
a distant relation of Watt Leslie, who

quently do.
So boys if you should ever see any
thing which you think is a ghost, DC
as Billy, did, investigate the matter
and I'll venture that it will turn ou'
to be as harmless as was Billy's ghost

nothing but "a little boy"-but to my
great Joy on this occasion, Miss Jane,
who weighed about three hundred
pounds, selected me as her partner,
and that fact broke the ice for me,
and ever afterwards I took as big a
hand in the amusements as any of the
big boys and young men. This kindly
considerate action on the part Of Miss
Jane placed me under such an obliga-
ton to her as has never been forgot
ten. Miss Jane was not only Of a
kindly disposition but she "a withal
quite witty. I remember on one occa-
sion a boy asked her on what day OF
the month she was born-suspecting
he was after some trick, she replied

month, 1 was born in the night time"
Ghosts and Haunts.
I don't think that people of the
preesnt age are as prone to believe in
ghosts or haunts as they we're sixty
or seventy years ago. This may be at
tributed to two causes, n because
the people are more enlightened now
than they were and the other, be-
cause children for the last thirty or
forty years have not been entrusted
so exclusively to the control and man
agement of old black mammy's as
they were in former times-and these
old nurses were in the habit OF telling
the children all sorts of scarry tales
to coerce them into doing as they
wanted them, and so created within
their minds an indellible belief IN
ghosts.
So strongly were most grown up
people embued with the idea OF the
reality of ghosts, that a great many
could not be induced to pass a grave
yard after night under any circum-
stances-especially if on foot, while
nearly every one, if not all, felt a ILL.,
tie uncomfortable while passing such
a place.

read this and who may be disposed to

London. Aug. 10 Midnight. An
American military expert reviewing
the situation In Belgium, said tonight;
Il left Brussels today. There was a
good deal Of agitation there, as the
people thought the Germans very near
and there had been fighting at Tirle-
mont A good many refugees had
come from Tirlcmont and Louvain.
THE people kept very quiet. though
they were filled with suspense owing
TO the npineyous rumors. The impress
sion was that the Germans. after maxi
ing reconnaissance in force and
scouting the country TO the north of
Brussels with cavalry were about to
advance in force on Brussels. The
population had heen told by the bur-
gomaster that IL the Germans came,
they should remain indoors and go on
as far as possible with their daily vo-
cations.
Brussels is an undefcndod city.

every Important street leading out Of
the town has been harricaded. Trench
