Several days ago, in Augusta, Mr. C.
E. Staples committed suicide under a
bush near the river side in that city,
and the Savannah Press, speaking edi
torially of his sad end, says:
“Charles K. Staples was a worthy
man. lie fought gallantly In the War
as a member of the Clinch rifles in the
Fifth Georgia Regiment and sinoe the
war he had been a sober, steady, and
industrious man. He was not a man
of strong physique, but he seemed to
live loyal to all his interests and to
his family.
“Saturday morning he finds himself
alone on the river bank with B8 years
behind him nnd a cheerless life ahead.
He had worked hard all his life. He
had nothing to show for it. He wsb
behind a few hundred dollars in his
accounts. Like old “Tulliver” In “The
Mill on the IIosb,” “the world wns too
many for him.” In the remorseless
struggle for a living he had been left
behind. Preferring to be judged by
God than man, he fired the shot whloh
ends ills life.
“’J'hero is nothing but pity for such
n character. Here was a man who had
been devoted to the cause of Ills coun
try and to the interests of his family
He preferred to die rather than live on
in despair. The anguish of the man
will find an echo in the breast of many
people who seem to have been over
whelmed in the struggle of life.
“But desperate steps nre to be de
plored. The greatest difficulties are
overcome by being confronted boldly
and honestly. The part of courage
would be to fight it out to the end and
to follow the line of duty no matter
what may happen.”

South Carolina conies to the front
with r sensational lynohlng oase. A
Negro was arrested on suspicion of
having committed a most heinous
orime, but lie wns not identified by the
young lady. In tho face of this
howling mob took him from jail, bung
him to a tree and riddled his body
with bullets. Tills is an instance
where an innocent man is made to
suffer tbe orime of another, all on aC'
count «f an infuriated mob. When
tbe Negro was taken before the young
lady for identification, she not only
failed to reoognlze him, but stated pos,
itlvely that he was not the man
appears, however, that the mob was
bent on having tho life of some one,
and they did. Governor Tillman is
said to be tbe cause of the unfortunate
occurrence, as the Negro surrendered
to him when be thought the mob was
after him, going to that worthy official
for protection, but instead of giving it
to him tbe Governor sent the Negro
back to Denmark, where tbe mob was
oolleoted, for trial. If reports are true,
Governor Tillman deserves all the
severe criticism that is being heaped
upon him in that State. Hob violence
can never be suppressed when the
Governor of a State declines to con
demn it. -
