When not even Hoke Smith's

as well give it up that it was a foregone

Mr. Hlsgen says he is “pleased by the

According to the Jacksonville Times-

The Birmingham News suggests
that the poor little word, “if,” should

“Tell General Lee 1 have fought my

sent by General Gordon to the Confed

at Appomattox. It’s an old, old
phrase, cries the Boston Globe.
Some times the most consoling

The New Orleans States pleads fur
cotton bagging as covering for raw cot

“Cotton I Its price can go up ! Its

The clubwomen of Cleveland are up
in arms against Professor Ehler for
opposing the employment of women
as teachers of lx»ys, on the ground that
their pupils were rendered sissy lied
and effeminate, savs the Montgomery
Journal. Besides many other argu
ments and examples, they point to the
wet I -authenticated fact that Lucy
Ntone as a teacher in early life was at
one time placed iu charge of a school
so disorderly that the two previous
male teachers were thrown out of the
window. She found no difficulty in
maintaining discipline and the same
pupils who had led the riot against
their teachers proved to '>e her most
loyal and orderly pupils. One of the
most incensed of the women has de
manded Professor Ehler if there is
any line of work aside from keeping
house and bearing children that he
would admit to be within the province
of women.
THE TRUE REPUBLICAN FARABI. <
Ohio went for Taft by g hundred <
thousand or more. The negro voters i
apparently forgot al! about Browns- I
vine,-Foraker and his troubles, and <
any and all other grievances, and
lined up to a man behind the banner i
of Republicanism.
» Naturally the negro voters wanted
to participate In the celebration and
get in line for the distribution of the
small jobs that are always more or
less scattered after a national victory.
But the color line was drawn on
them at Steubenville. When the
night of the demonstration came, the
white voters who had yelled them
selves boaroe lor Taft during the
campaign, and stormed the polls on
election day in his behalf, insisted
that If the negroes wanted to parade
they must get to the rear and stay
there.
The managers, remembering how
awfully sensitive the Ohio negroes
have become, decided that the brother
in black was entitled to the place of
honor in front. When they so or
dered the white voters disbanded and
Steubenville was treated to a Repub
lican demonstration with no white
trimmings.
“Something is going to happen up
In Ohio one of these days,” says the
Americus Times-Recarder, referring
to the incident. “Something” is
always happening in Ohio, including
an occasional race riot. But if onr
Americus contemporary refers to
any change in the colored vote, that
is one of the things that is only
“going to happen” and never hap
pens.
GROWTH OF SOCIALISM.
That the clergy of the Episcopal
church is becoming infatuated with
socialism, was the statement made
by Bishop Webb, of the diocese of
Milwaukee, in an address Itefore the
Loyal Legion. He said that the
theories of socialism were undoubted
ly attractive.
“There has been much agitation of
late regarding the theories of the
socialist party,” said Bishop Webb.
“Many of my young clergymen
have been carried away by certain
theories advanced at the present
time only by socialists. Because of
these attractive ideas the party can
no longer be considered unimportant,
yet they are far from being entirely
in the right
“What is the remedy? Reform in
the two lar e parties along these lines
is the only thing that can save them.
It can no longer be considered unim
portant, for it is the most important
factor before the people.”
These statements are significant.
An Episcopal clergyman in Savan
nah, according to the Press, called
attention to the growth of socialism
as a theory in the rights of the Epis
copal clergy in the North, and stated
that books upon socialism should be
distributed among Southern clergy
so as to enable the ministers to com
bat the growing doctrine more thor
oughly.
THE REEL FOOT LAKE LYNCHING.
The Augusta Herald publishes the
tollowing thoughtiul editorial ou what
was more than an ordinary tragedy:
Immediately following the Reel
Foot Lake lynching the most ener
getic measures were taken to appre
hend the lynchers that were ever
taken after such a tragisly. The gov
ernor Os the State ottered an immense
reward; he ordered out a large body
ol the State militia ; he laid aside all
other business to go into the back
woods and take charge of the situa
tion in person; he placed the entire
section under martial law—and he
captured the lynchers.
Os course be did. With the meas
ures taken it was certain that they
would l>e captured. To discover the
| identity of lynchers is very rarely a
', difficult matter, when the officials
really desire toestablisn this identity.
| And their identity known it is always
, an easy matter to arrest lynchers,
• since they rarely try to escape. Much
less spectacular measures, and much
, less expensive, than those takenTy
Governor Patterson would have re
sulted in the arrest of the Reel Foot
Like lynchers.
i The parties arrested are now to be
tried. What success the courts will
have in convicting them is prob
lematic. Although it may be safely
assured that the guilty parties are
among those who have been anested,
the courts have never been very suc
cessful in convicting lynchers. No
lyncher has ever suffered the extreme
penalty of the law. It may be, how
ever, that the same extraordinary
energy that was displayed by the
executive department will be dupli
cated by the judiciary department,
and that these Reel Foot Lake lynch-
ers will stretch hemp. They certainly
committed a crime for which they |
should be punished. And the pun
ishment prescribed by the law for this
crime is death on the gallows.
But, as the Anderson Mall ob
serves, “After they get through con
victing the Tennessee lynchers, we
hope somebody will explain what
Lawyer Randall did that caused them
to lynch him.”
VVhy did the mob at Reel Foot Lake
kill one man, and try to kill his com
panion and partner? This lynching
was different from ordinary lynch
ings. Almost every other lynching
was the execution by a mob of some
person who had committed or was
believed to have committed a crime
which under the law was punished
by death. The victim of this Ten
nessee lynching was not of this class.
He was not killed because the mob
that lynched him bore such enmity
to him that nothing but his life
would satisfy them, for in that case
they would have killed both prison
ers on the spot, instead of carrying
them for a parley to the lake.
These men who committed this
crime were not ordinary lynchers nor
ordinary murderers, and justice re
quires that the cause which led them
to the commission of this great crime
should be made fully public.
If it be true, as intimated, that Reel
Foot which is a large body of
water that had always been open to
public fishing, was acquired by pri
vateowners by means which, il legal,
are yet in spirit opposed to to the
principles of our government founded
on the bill of rights, then u new face
is put upon this lynching. It would
not justify the crime which has been
committed, but it would boa bloody
commentary on the way special priv
ileges are being extended without
regard to the rights of others.
Is it true that access to a large body
of navigable water was denied to a
large number of people, whose means
of livelihood it had been iu whole or
in part since time immemorial? Is
it true that the rights of these people
would not have been taken from them
had they been able to contest for
them in the courts? Is it true that
these rights were takeu from them
ecause those who acquired a monop
oly of them were rich and powerful?
These questions should be answered,
not to justify the crime of murder
which has been committed, buttoex
plain and justfy, if the facts will do
this, the extraordinary course adop
ted in bringing to punishment these
criminals. And if it b 3 true that the
causes which led to this horrible
crime were such as has been sugges
ted, it should serve as a warning in
future legislation.
The masses of the people may be
deprived of rights they have enjoyed,
by the granting ol special privileges,
until, ignorant of the way or wanting
the means to resist these encroach
ments they will resort to lawlessness
and crime in resistance, and the re
cent experience of Russia will be du
plicated in our country.
NEEDLESSLY EXCITED.
The Bainbridge Democrat, in
noting that most of the newspapers
of the State are calling on Counsel
Jim Hines to the railroad commission
to resign l>eeause he supported the
Populist candidate for president while
holding a job given him by the Dem
ocratic governor of < ieorgia, savs:
“The thought recurs that perhaps
these papers have some old booze
soaked political hack tied out who
they purpose grooming for the job.
Perish the thought! and herein lies a
danger which the next incoming dy
nasty had best guard—or the people’s
and the State’s interests shall suffer—
for their name is legion, their maws
are capacious and their appetites insa
tiable.”
To all of which the imperturable
Dawson News rejoin.-:
•‘Our perturbed contemporary should
calm itself. The job Mr. Hines holds
is a ‘sinecure’ that will be abolished by
the incoming administration.”
Deafness Cannot be Cored
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the eus
tachian tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inhumation can l>e taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine eases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which Is nothing but an

A NATURE FAKE] |
The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Times-Star Ls respon
sible for the following: ‘
| “Dr. H. W. Wiley, guardian of the ,
American stomach, has been hoist by .
his own petard. The good doctor’s
worthy effort to prevent the sale of in- I
jurious foodstuffs in the United States
is one of the greatest achievements of ,
the present administration. The pure
food law, which prevents the use of any
kind of preservatives jn foods, is also a
great safeguard on the health of the
population. But the doctor, it seems,
hrs gone one better than nature to his
effort and he frankly admits it in a
recent bulletin from the Bureau of
Chemistry. His admission is that no
other than the whole bee family is
guilty of the rankest kind of adulters-j
tion of food. It seems that the busy I
little bee as he flits from flower to j
flower and gathers honey also gathers I
a natural preservative which he puts
in his honey to keep it from souring I
and spoiling. Analysis of this bee.
preservative shows it to be nothing {
less than formalin. The very sugges
tion that a dairyman puts formalin to
his milk is enough to bring the min
ions of the law down on the luckless
milkman, but the little bee, held for
years as a model of industry, can put
all theformalinlt wants in its product
and the good people smack their lips
in pleasure as they eat the food which,
according to the pure food law, is im
pure. In addition to the formalin, to
quote Dr. Wiley’s own words in the
bulletin: ‘Bees often fill their cells
with other substanoes than the nectar
of flowers, such as molasses, honey
dew, or the juices of fruits, but the
product is not pure honey.”
Now the question remains will Dr.
Wiley foibld the sale of honey, now
that he has discovered that the bee is
not producing pure honey? Or will
the Department of Justice get out an
injunction against the bet?
NEED ACTUAL CONTACT ON SOUTH
ERN SOIL.
The Philadelphia Record makes
this proper and refreshing comment
on the movements of Mr. Tait:
“President-elect Taft alter bis
strenuous campaign work has de
termined to go in the enemy’s coun
try to recuperate. On his physician's
recommendation he will spend the
winter in Georgia, where he can get
the benefit of outdoor exercise and
gather strength for the buffeting
which he must encounter when he
begins business in the White House.
Entirely apart Ironi atmospheric ad
vantages, the farther South Mr. Taft
goes and the longer be tarries he will
find himself the better equipped for
weeding the last vestige of sectional
ism out of the practice of Federal ad
ministration. The habit of selecting
Northern presidents which the coun
try has acquired may be made more
tolerable by actual contact and hand
touch of the Southern people and foot
touch of the Southern soil.”
Incident to these just remarks of
the Record, it may be added that it
is well that Mr. Tait should go to
Augusta, where he will meet real
Southern people, Southern ways and
Southern climate, and not to Atlanta,
where all of these things are more
mixed and less typical.

Two caterpillars crawling on a leaf,
Bjrsoms strange accident in contact came, t
Their conversation, praising all belief,
Wm the Mine argument, the very same
That has been “proed and conned” from
Yea, ever since thin wondrous world began. ,
The ugly creatures, deaf aud dumb and blind,
Devoid ot features that adorn mankind,
Were vain enough in dull and wordy strife, I
To speculate upon a future life.
The first was optimistic. full of hope;
■ The second quite dyapeptic, seemed to mope.
Said Number One, “I’m sure of our salva
tion.”
Said Number Two, “I’m sure of our dainna-
| Hon;
Our ugly forrus alone would seal our fates
| And bar our entrance through the golden
gates.
“Suppose that death should take us una
wares.
How could we elimb the golden stair* ?
If maidens shun ua as they pass us by,
Would angels bid us welcome in the sky ?
I wonder what great crimes we ha re com.
m it ted
That Dave us so forlorn and so unpilied ?
Perhaps ae’ve been ungrateful, unforgiving?
'Tis plain to me that life’s not worth living ”
“Couic, cheer up," the jovial worm replied,
“Let’s take a look upon the other side.
Suppose we cannot fly like moths and millers,
Are we to blame for being caterpillars'!
Will that same God that bid us crawl the

A prey to every .bird that's givenjbirth,
Forgive our captor as he eats and sings.
And damn poor us because we have no
wings?
“If we can’t skim the air like owl or bat,
The worm is sure to t urn for all of that.”
They argued thus the summer through, aud
uutumn nigh,
The ugly things composed themselves to die
And so to make their funeral quite complete,
Each wrapped him in his little winding
sheet.
The tangled web encompassed them full soon
And for bis coffin each made him a cocoon.
All through the chilling blast they lay,
Dead to the world—aye, dead as human clay.
Lo, Spring comes forth with all her warmth
and love,
And brings sweet justice from the realm
above.
She breaks the chrysalis, she resurrects the
dead,
Two butterflies ascend, encircling her head.
Aud so this emblem ahull forever be
A sign of immortality.
