Delinted seed can be more evenly

THE LAW UPHELD

A negro man has been arrested
through the efforts of the peace Of
icers Of Abbeville County charged
with a most infamous ~offense, an Of
tense the very thought of which
causes the blood Of the white man to
boil. The culprit has been legally
tried in the courts of the county and
legally sentenced to labor for a term
which means life Imprisonment. The
law has been upheld
The law has been so upheld largely
on account of the fact that members
of the family and friends Of the fam
lily most affected by the attempted
ofense counselled a legal trial. They
have shown their faith and conf
dence in the courts of the state,
which after all furnish the only
guaranty that offenses of this and
other kinds will be adequately pun
ished. The result has been due in
good part too to the conduct of the
sheriff Of the county and his body of
deputies. Considering the offense
charged the sheriff of the county did
well to surround himself with men of
proved courage and GOODNESS. The
fact that there was absolutely no
evidence Of disorder, and the proba-
bility that there would have been
none in any event, does not in the
least justify the inference that the
sheriff should not have taken the Ut
most precautions to protect his pris-
oner, If he needed assistance. He did
what the careful officer in such cases
should always do, and the Press and
Banner bespeaks for him the com
mendstion Of the people of Abbeville
County for his wise precautions.
There was evidently a disagree.
ment amongst the members Of the
jury charged with the trial Of the
case as to the proper punishment to
be dealt out to the culprit who plan
ned 50 terrible an oRense. There was
q division on the outside Of the jury
box as to what was the proper pun
ishment for him. so far as his intent
was concerned, he was as guilty as if
be had accomplished his damnable
purpose, but q merciful Providence
saved tAe family affected from any
thing that will cause sorrow in the
years to come. No harm has come to
them. And We shall not be surprised,
If when the first feelings engendered
of the crime have had time to SUBJ
side, if they shall not be glad that
the jury extended to the lowly beast
at the bar of the court the same
iqta8fS If mercy which God showed
them On the occasion of the diaboli-
cal attack.
We doubt whether electrocution
in the state penttentiary would have
been Is great warning to others as
viii be q life of toll and confinement
in the state penitentiary. There is
something heroic in 8 negro going
to tie electric chair without finch
ing. In Q little time his life is shifted
out, and he Is forgotten; but the
eternal grind Of the life prisoner is
an awful warning to the race that the
law cannot be violated and that pun
ishmens IS sure and always severe.
Ahheville County has done well
this week. and we trust that the rec
ord viii always be as good.

BOXING AN AID TO ACTING

Franklin Haven Sargent, president of the Ameri-
Academy of Dramatic Arts, asked me some years
ago to suggest any additional course for his pupils
/ said Teach them to box"
Mr. Sargent then past 80. Before | offered
that advice had found in several years of profes
sional rehearsals that women self conscious
the stage principally on account of their
hands. There is the same embarras assment in some
public speakers,
The boxer is free from that; TO see his hands
in front Of him in instructive gesture does not fill
him with sudden fear, and if the hand as placed
stands for mental attitude he is at ease in eay
ing it there long he asks attention to that fact
The most graceful in the use OF his hands
the stage thirty years ago was Maurice Barrymore
who had been champion amateur boxer of England.
One Of the most graceful today is Eddie Foy another
boxer have never in many talks with William
Faversham mentioned the subject but / am confident
he was skillful boxer in his younger days-Augus-

Let II Come

We understand that tho long impending threat
to introduce into the legislature bill repeal the
act creating county highway commissions is about
to be executed: that IS that the bill is shortly be
brought in. Very well; that simple and easy act is
not in itself disastrous except to the impeding
effect it may have on other legislation. But there
are already many impending bills that will be only
bill and nothing at the hour Of adjournment
that another more will not be perceptbly felt
1t is not very consuming of public money to have
bill printed and there is not much consumption Of
time In motions to refer and commit.
Whatever dissatisfaction may exist with the
highway commission act in its original form
subsequently amended has been fully met in pend
ne bill which will probably be passed. 1t proposes
to relieve those counties which do not want COM
missions of the danger of having them thrust upon
them And a majority Of the counties do not at
present need the services Of commissions The bill
proposes to leave the act so amended that when con-
ditons arise in county to make commission de-
sirsble, it have one.
All this is fair enough to ALL board of super
vsors could not if disposed to do so, create
unnecessary jobs its pleasure. On the other hand
when highway project is Of such magnitude as to
require administration by commission, a commits
sion would be available
