The man who will confer the great
est blessing upon South Carolina will
be the one who will find us ways to
more nearly equalize the impost Of
taxes and yet preserve sufficient reve-
nue. to allow the state to keep abreast
Of it's neighbors in the development
Of educational facilities. But we are
afraid that such a man would be too
much of a statesman to be appre-
ciated. If by chance one of this kind
be elected in the next campaign it
will be a miracle that will surprise
us.
The prospects are now for the kind
Of campaign in which most people de-
light to revel-with lots of mud sling

and nothing DONE"

There was an old geezer and he
had a lot of sense. He started up q
business on dollar eighty cents. The
dollar for stock and the eighty cents
for an ad brought him three dollars
in a day, by dad.
Well, he bought more goods and I
little more space, and he played that
system with smile on his face.
The customers tiocked to his two
by-four and soon he had to hustle for
q regular store. Up on the square
where the people pass, he gobbled up
q corner that was all plate glass. He
fixed up the windows with the bes,
that he had and told them all about
it in q half~page ad.
Soon he had 'em coming and he
never, never Quit, and he wouldn't cut
down on his ads one jit. And he ;
kept things humming in the town
ever since and everybody calls him
the Merchant Prince.
Some say it's luck, but that S all
bunk--why he was doing business
when the times were punk!
People had to purchase and GeeZei
was wiSe--for he knew the way to
get 'em was to advertise. e. r.

If the courts insisted on speedy

that would strike terror to the hearts
of criminals, the people would have
less cause to complain, and there
would be less provocation for the
people to take the law into their own

But we have failed to answer the
namely, whether a sheriff owes it to
his state to sacrifice his life to an
angry mob when he is convinced it
would not save the life of a prisoner ?
We are not going to undertake to
answer it; but, as a practical propo-
sition, sheriffs with wives and chill
dren to care for are not going to do
it-and it does not show lack Of cour-
age either.

HOW TO STOP MOB LAW.

heads an editorial, Judge frlnce
Talks"
He surely does! Judge Prince is
noted for talking on the bench: His
orations not many years ago from the
bench on the duty of school trustees
will be recalled, no doubt.
For our part, we do not believe in
much talking by courts. 1t is too
much like the threatening parent Or
school teacher-the threatened ones
get so accustomed to it that they
laugh at it and lose respect for the eX-
ercise of that kind Of "authority,"
Judges are on the bench to con-
strue> the law, and that only-all their
other functions are immaterial, COM
pared to that. And the closer a
Judge sticks to that theory of his Of
flee the greater will be his influence
in behalf of law and order. When he
goes outside of that charmed circle
he is bound to awake in the minds Of
people some doubt as to the wisdom
of what he is saying, and thus lose
that feeling Of awe and reverence
that should attach to the bench. To
illustrate:
There are hundreds and hundreds
Of level-headed, well-meaning and
highly-respected citizens who, do not
believe that a sheriff is in duty bound
to sacrifice his life to the frenzy Of
mob-and they will say so! No
doubt in the discussions that followed
the Judges "charge' at Hampton
many such men felt it incumbent on
them to take a different view from
the extreme view uttered from the
bench and so the impression springs
up in the popular mind that judges
are not infalible; that they may be
mistaken as we'll as other men. No
sensible man really believes judge,
or anybody else, is infalible; but a
judge is presumed to know so much
more about the law than other men
that the people at large have, in the
course of generations, accepted the
judges decision on points of law as
sound as gospel-almost like the
oracles Of God That is why people
submit their controversies to the
courts and why they abide so quiet
ly by the decisions and judgments Of
the courts. If the judges begin to
discuss all sorts Of questions from the
bench they raise issues in the popu-
lar mind that will inevitably lead to
a lowering of the reverence and re-
spect and confidence that the common
people have for them-and for the
in the course of time,
will interfere seriously with the adj
ministration Of justice.
The constitutions Of most states
forbid the judge on the bench, in the
trial of a case, to comment on or dis
cuss the facts. That is q wise pro-
vision; and we believe it should be
supplemented by another that would
prevent his discussing extraneous
matters from the bench.
The old way is the best way, when
the presiding judge spread the docket
before him, saw what offenses Eere
to come before the grand jury; and
gave the jury a plain and simple ex-
planation of what constitutes each Of
fense appearing on the docket; that
and no more. He left the discussion
Of moral and social questions AMI
current events to the lecture plat
form. And it SENS to us the courts
got better and quicker results that
way.
