the city court finished a number
of criminal cases yesterday and the

The last criminal case tried, and the
most Interesting of the day was that

resulted In a mistrial, ’ after the
Jury had been out from fire o’clock
until half past eight. At that hour,
there being no hope of agreement
the Jury was discharged.
Mr.'Shores was accused' by Mr.
Calvin Carroll of having taken sev
eral small articles a pair of leather
lines, horse collar, potatoes and seed
cotton, the' property of the latter.
The total value of the articles al
leged to have been taken amounts to
118. This Is the second mistrial
that,Judge Hansell has ever had in
his long official career as Judge of
the county and city courts.
The court cleared up a good batch
of business yesterday irat left many
cases untouched. These were car
ried over until the . next term. Some
of them were continued because of
the illness of the prosecutors or
their absence. Others went-over on
account of the absence, on leave of
Attorney Titus who was retained on
one side or the other of s number.
The first case called was that of
the state against A.

.A AND IT’S LESSON,
• me South Is appalled at the death
of Samuel Spencer, president of the
Southern railroad, who was killed
In a. wreck on his own road. Yet
from this untimely death some good
may come.
First a word about Mr. Spencer.
He 1 was a-Georglan, a graduate of
the University, and one of the
greatest railroad promoters In the
country. ' He did not forget his na
tive state when wealth and power
came to him, nor did he use those
gifts In the pursuit of lawless pleas
ure, but lived a clean fife. Hts bus
lness methods made him the target
of many radical Writers, but hts
place will be difficult to fill.
Now his death had , created.uni
rersal comment and sorrow. Yet
there Is scarcely a day passes but
that we read, of other wrecks where
people are killed, and these trage
dies carry Just as much woe In to
the homes of the dead, as Mr. Spen
eer’s. Many of the wrecks have
been on the Southern Railway, and
this road has jB black record as
Slaughterer. The/ unusual circum
stance* of a railroad executive be
ing killed brings the matter to pub
lic attention. But you or any other
citizen however humble,-Is as much
entitled to protection as any rail
road official. ' '
It la all very well for the Southern
railway officials to say' that It was
the fault of a telegraph operator,
that their president was killed.
There are hundreds of people who
hare been killed by the Southern on
account of faulty equipment, poor
road bpd and the like. Tkls toll of
human blood was exacted to pay
dividends. Now there Is not an of
ficial of the road but that wishes
the dividends had been less, the
protection better, and Mr. Spencer's
life spared.
There Is no machinery so perfect
that tbo human agent can be dis
pensed with. It is therefore the
plain duty of the railroads to hire
men of th^e best type obtainable, to
give them reasonable hours and
liberal compensation. Especially
should this be'the case with those
who are entrusted with the handling
of humun life. The telegraph oper
ators of the Southern Railroad are
overworked and underpaid. If this
particular one had not been perhaps
Mr. Spencer would be alive today.
Now these thlngk are facts. Any
one who knows railroad conditions
knows that they are facts. This
paper has long maintained that it is
tolly to tear hair and spout rhetoric
over rate reform and Ignore wreck
reform. The death of President
Spencer emphasls'es this fact. We
hope the officials of the Southern
will remedy the conditions that
made possible the murder of their
president, and that will cause the
murder of others If this remedy ie
not forthcoming.'
It they do not do it voluntarily
they should be made to do It, and
so-should other railroads. Rail
roads have no right to pay dividends
at the cost of human life.
