Mr. Bowden has made the people >f Homer an excellent teacher, and it is a mis take with them that they do not have tlie academy repaired and continue their>school throughout the winter season. Mr. Bales, who was charged with stealing one of Mr. J. K. Thompson’s oxen last fall, and :oimnitted to jail to await the ac tion of superior court, but gave bond for his appearance, with Mr. J. E. Strange as security, was brought back from Alabama, Sun day, where he had gono to escape the iasv. Some seem to tliiuk a good deal of sectarianism exists in Homer, but the .Journal sums it up to be more of a '•bread and meat sectaiiaubm,” than anything elm with some of them. Le' a stranger coma to h h 'll soon see that the whole concjin will skin him' Jor the last nickel he’s got. Do they road the Bible? oh, yes' Th v go to church, too. If an one doubts this, come and test it; he’ll find where tbe sectarianism lies. John Morris. It is the opinion of a number with reference to the killing of Ben Willis, that John Morris has acted unwisely in not giving himselfup. There is no testimony in the case that can convict hirn as a conspira tor in the killing of Willis. While ho may have had Bob’s pistol at the time Bob took it away from him, this, within itself, show noth ing mors than that he held it as a peace-maker. After Willis and Bob Morris had had a fair fight and John Morris, Jim Willis, Charlie Wilson and Crenshaw sepjr-, ated them, why did Bob Morris call his brother John out ot ihe cro.vd to get a pistol that belong to him (Bob?) Why did Bob not demand his pistol there arid then, from John? Because he knew John wouldn’t give, it to him without a scuffle with him (John,) and was afraid, that, in ibis scuffle, his vic tim, Bon Willis, would take hold of him again. So he called John aside, and si brother’s love for a brother, is ready at any calling— what may the circumstances or sur rounding, and John went with him. Who knows Ihe pleading that may have fell from John’s lips in behalf of Bet) Willis, or a brother’s be trayal that Bob may have play&d, before John gave up ibe pistol ut il was snatched fro in him? The fact that, after the kiiliug, Bob threat i ened to shoot the whole crowd, and | the whole crowd with John Morris I with them, ran, and John pleading b tek to Bob as he ran, “-don’t shoot, don’t shoot, Bob!” sho .vs that John Morris was, h i mself, afraid of bei tig shot, auji did not approve ot the killing. The 'act, that John Mor ris was (he last to leave the dead man and go with the dead man's brother, Jim Wiilis, to Mr. ltay mond Emmett's and report, the killing, i'lustra es his innocence more clearly. The grand jury did John Morris a great injustice, when 1 bey recuni mended that. Gov. Gordon “offer a suitable reward for the arrest of John and Bob Morris for the mur der of Ben F. Willis.” The Journal would have publish ed this article the same weak, but, af er reading the actio a of the grand jury, it awaited further investiga tiou, and until now, it gives public sentiment and feeling toward John Morris, and tbe best tiling he can do is to give himself up. Because ihere is going to be a reward offer ed soon fur bis at rest, and it wi i put him in a very uncalled f r anl danger ons portidon. Hie ilea f>.r hiding ont can be prompted thr ugh nothing more than a feeling of snare: “My brother did the killing tdJ I w is with him A Th* Journal has no sides in the mat ter, but it is ready at any all times to represent justice to any and all, with "a leeling lor justice, and only justice. Castes of India. Caste prejudice enters in*o ev erything in India, Writes Frank G. Carpenter. It forces the foreign ers 1o keep a dozen servants lo do Ihe work of tbe household, and I am told that it isalmost impossible for a family to get along with less than 13 servants. I met last week vn English preacher, who had an income of $1,500 a year, and ho told me that it was absolutely im possible for him lo live in lndi without tiiicteen servants. Said lie: “TLey are paid low wages, but Ihere are so many of them that tho sum total is large. You have to have a man for everything you want done, and lie will do nothing else than that one thing. The man who washes dishes will Hot make up the beds, and the cook will not attend to the washing of the dishes. Il you keep horses you must have a groom for every horse, and for ev ery two horses you have to keep a man to cut grass for them. The woman servant, who waits upon your wife, does not consider il her business to wait upon you, and the servants who do the other work abeut the house, expect you to have a body servant to run your own er rand?. If you ask a man to do any thing out of his regular business,, be says it is contrary to hi? caste, and you then know that yea *have to sub mit. Theie are hundreds of castes in India. They are based on religions differences, on sraae armngeuienls, and on social distiuc ions. There are a caste of barbers, of beggirs, of thieves mid of water carriers. There are the Baa mine, the Sudras, ths cow-skinners, the rorpse-bearois and dozens of others divided and sub divided, until only the Hiudoo ean tell you their nnnrp-ei anl dilierei-oe?.
