SUBSCRIPTION PRICE Si.oo PER YEAR A peace agreement has been signed by agents of President Diaz and the insurgents, and it is to he hoped that this will end the little scrap across the Rio Grande. Probably Uncle Ham will call off hfe hull dogs that were no doubt sent to the Mexican border to in timidate a weak neighbor and to protect American citizens. Strange indeed that President Taft should I mobilize an army on the Western j frontier right in the shadow of a | friendly notion engaged in internec ine strife just for the purpose of drilling his soldiers. Is it possible I that our boundaries are so circum-1 scribed and our geographical pos sessions so limited that there was no other suitable spot? The pulpit is thundering its de nunciation; the best element of this country is arraying itself against lynching: but throughout the length and breadth of this land the crime is unabated. We have it more in the South; because we have the ne *groe here in larger numbers. We are firmly convinced that the cessa tion of that unmentionable crime would only lessen and not alle viate the trouble; and we further believe that this crime will never close so long as the black race is al- lowed to intermingle its destiny among the great Aryan or t'auca sian people. Education will not solve it, for the white man, feeling the inherent superiority of his race in the loftiness of his spirit and pride of his nature, erects the bars between him and the cultured nc‘ gro strong and enduring; for it is not a condition of culture or condi tion of life, but it is a race preju dice as deep as Hell and as strong as adamantine chains chains forged by the unerring and almighty hand of God, never to be broken until “the leopard can change his spots and the Ethiopian his skin.” REV- LEN G- BROUGHTON One of the most militant figures among the clergy of this country today, is the Itev. Leu G . Brough ton. Intellectual, courageous and forceful, he attacks sin where ever found. He seems to owe no spe cial allegiance to any man or set of men. He opens his batteries of de nunciation against wrong doing where ever found, in the palaces of the rich or tenements of the poor. Against those in authority or the dissolute wretch who seems to have no aim except to dam himself and his felknvman. We repeat that this reverend gen tleman is one of the most militant and unique figures that is filling the modern pulpit. Despite the sensa tional atmosphere that some claim this strong man is surrounded with, he is doing a great work and weld ing a great influence which will be felt long after he has departed this life. All hail to such heroic and Chris tian ministers as Rev. Len G. Broughton, regardless of denorar nation. Tom Watson’s latest attempted assassination proved to be a couple of sticks of dynamite hidden by two boys for the purpose of dyna miting a fish hole. However, Tommie, gained quite a bit of free advertising by the incident. —Moul- trie Journal. RESOLUTIONS j COCHRAN BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL DRAFT APPROPRIATE RESOLU TIONS ON THE DEATH OF A BELOVED MEMBER MR. R. H. H. COLEY. Brother R. H. H. Coley, a mem ber of our Sunday School, departed this earthly life and entered into the eternal life on May the 14, 1911. He was a firm believer in all of the principles and doctrines of our Sunday School, and by his continual practise of the same ex" emplified the fruits of a life lived for Christ. He was a hero in the battles of physical warfare as well as in the great battle against sin and satan. “His life was gentle and the elements so mixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world: “Thiswas a man.” Be it resolved, that : Ist.

DYNAMITING FISH STREAMS Informrtion has recently reached the Herald from several localities that parties having no regard for the fish and game laws of the state have been guilty of the diabolical crime of dynamiting the tish streams. There are now only a few perpet ual streams in this region in which fish can be propagated and while some of tin 1 more provident lovers of fish ami considerable lovers of Sir Izaae Walton are, at consider derable trouble and expense, trying to stock these streams with black bass, bream and other desirable spe cies of the tinny tribe, others are engaged in dynamiting the streams, killing at a single blast more fish and spawn than the effort of a real sportsman or provident citizen can replace in a season. A charge of dynamite in a choice pool or basin in a stream kills every living tish in it, and the destruction wrought by this mode of obtaining a “mess” of fish amounts to a diabolical crime which should be severely punished. The man who fishes with dynamite in a running stream in the fish supply of which others have equal — and perhaps superior rights, ought to he put in jail. It is a crime to he classed with that of poisoning the water of a running stream. We see that some of the good cit izen of Lee county have resolved to put a stop to the dynamiting of the fish streams in that county, and those of every other county blessed with a stream in which tish abound or can be successfully {propagated should do the same thing. A few vigorous prosecutions and the impo sitions of cliaingang sentences upon those convicted would put a stop to the dynamite mode of fishing, and that is the way to deal with this evil. —Albany Herald. COCHRAN PUBLIC SCHOOL CLOSE Our school closed its nine months session last Friday. This has been the most successful year in enroll ment and excellency of the work. THE COCHRAN JOURNAL. No one graduated this year as there was no 10th grade. Next year the school will again have 10 full grades. The teachers and pupils worked hard up to the last day and all have decided that a long commencement is in many respects a nuisance, while as an advertisement it is ben eficial. The medals won at the | District Contest were delivered, and l it was announced that Willie Tow | ler had won the prize for the best j nastertium, Delia Wilson raised the > best cabbage. School will open Sept. 11 with 8 teachers including music, exprecss-1 | ion and voice. Let us improve the average daily attendence next year.
