The Cordele Sentinel truly
aays: A newspaper is a business
enterprise, just, as any manufac¬
turing or other industry. It, des
pends upon the public for its sup¬
port, and the public depends up¬
on tbe newspaper for the news.
The paper which gives the news
and tills the proper held of jour¬
nalism, ought, to be taken and
paid for by every good they disagree citizen,
no matter how much
with its opinions.

of a large number of convicts
opens the way to the commission¬

the convicts can be made to pay

desperado shot and killed auoth-

for accusing him of stealing - JO j '
cents, and tho officers who pur-
sued the murderer were compelled ,
to shoot him three times before j
he was captured. It then turned
out that he was the party who
made the criminal assault upon i
Miss Sallie Chapman recently,
and 159 enraged citizens strung
the negro to tho limb of a persim 1
men tree and then tilled his car-
caas with lead. Hi* brutes, white

The insurance agents are
iug a mean, contemptible trick
on the farmers, says the Georgia
Planter. A house to house can-
vans is being made by the agents,
who insure the lives of the farm-
ers, taking their notes, payable
in thirty or sixty days. The
farmer generally manages to meet
the note and sometimes pays sev-
era 1 premiums and then allows
the policy to lapse because he
can’t meet the payments and all
is lost, while his family suffers
for clothes and probably the ac¬
tual necessaries of life. The slick
tongued agent then pockets the first
payment and hunts more vic¬
tims. It is nothing but a scheme
to swindle the farmers, and we
advise them to get a shotgun and
run the rascals out of the country.

Last Friday a scene was
rd at Latimer Pa that makes
the blood of every American
On that day about 159 Polanders
and Hungarians marched from
Hazleton to La timer for the pur-
pose of urging the miners there
to join the strikers. While en
route they were intercepted on
tho public highway by thieves Sheriff
Martin and 100 thugs,
and murderers called deputies.
The sheriff read tho riot act to
the foreigners, who rightfully
concluded that they had as much
right on that public road as had
the sheriff', governor, or the presi¬
dent of the United states, and
they hud. They had committed
no overt act, ami it. has been prov¬
en that the only arms carried by
them consisted of two pon-kmves
and perhaps one little old pistol,
though the latter is denied.
They attempted to proceed on
their journey past the deputies
when the sheriff ordered them to
fire, which jkhey did. The
ers fell like ten-pins, and those
„ 0 t struck with bullets turned and
ran in almost every direction,
Tho cowardly deputies poured
volley after volley into the ranks
of the fleeing men until about
twenty were killed and forty
wounded. It was a heartless
butchery, and the sheriff aud tho
last mother's son of the cowardly
Jogs of deputies should be hung
higher than Hainan for tt. We
admit that the Hungarians are
„ 0 t a desirable class ot eitizeus,
but they are far more preferable
than their cowardly assassins.
After the one-sided battle, in-
stead of calling for doctors and
nurses the sluriff wired the gov-
eruor for troops, and 8 999 were
once dispatched to the scene.

prevented from serving them bv

Spiritual Relation to God.” He
