The Mafia.
On our second page is an ac
count , of , the terrible lynching , i • at L
New Orleans last Saturday. The
unhappy victims were members of
the Mafia, an ! talian brotherhood
much dreaded in that city. The
brotherhood is commonly looked
upon as a band of outlaws.
True Bills.
He understand that “true bills”
were found by the last grand jury
of this county against H. P. & D.
M. Almand, G. IT. H eaver, A. D.
Summers, and G. P. Elliott for
selling sewing machines without
nuvino- 1 Hi* nrnnnr - We
n
understand also that others . . have
dealt in sewing machines during
the last 12 modths, but no true
bills were found against them, be
canso they had not sold "any this
year. Why this partiality? It

must neeause
did not approve of the law and
were glad to get rid of all the
cases they could.
We also »i»h to say that, so far
as we can see, the law is not only
unnecessary, but absolutely incon
sistent. Why tax one who sells
sewing machines and not the man
who sells stoves? Why J a dealer
hi wvrmg machines , . and j not . a
dealer in wagons? And still more
appropriately it could be asked,
why tax at all a dealer in any noc
essary household article? How
can this benefit the homes of the
poor who would like to buy good
sewing machines cheap?
Liquor the Cause.
We understand that there are
fifteen prisoners in Newton coun¬
ty jail, two for murder outright
and tho others under very serious
charges. Besides these there are
sixty-five bonded criminals under
various charges.
Can it be that this state of
things is to a great extent the
work of “properly restricted” bar¬
rooms? A frieud of Newton coun¬
ty in describing it said, “Since
the return of barrooms in our
county everything has been de¬
moralized, and bad liquor has run
the negroes wild.
Prohibition may not prohibit,
but it undoubtedly lessons crime,

Instead of gloating so much
over recent , successes, the ., Demo- ta
cratic party had better be look
ing after unity of action in 1892.
Many strife efforts will be made to stir
up in the party; but we
hope that none will be successful
