The news of the death of one of the notori-
Gus James brothers, OF Missouri, is almost
too good to be true. The James and Youn
ser brothers have been the terror of the
southwest for several years past, and have
robted and murdered almost without let or
hindrance. A number of unsuccessful at
fempts have been made to capture them.
and In an encounter year or two since be-
tween them and the officers of the law. one
Of their number was killei. Heavy rewards
Offered for their apprehension have induced
private parties To undertake their arrest
from time 10 time, but the outlaws have
always made their escape. The Missouri
Onclais urge In eXtenuatiOn of their failure
10 break up the gang the great danger of at
tempting their arrest. The outlaws have n
large number OF passive allies in the section
where they live, who, through fear of bodily
harm, keep them posted as 10 the move
ments OF officers. They ride the fieetest
horses In the country, and are, withal, un
erring marksmen, and, fighting after the In
dian fashion, can bring down their pursuers
at very long range. They never allow treach-
cry 10 go unavenged, and within the last
nve years have killed men enough to stock
a small sized cemetery. The fact that they
nave so long defied the auth Jrities is Ger
tainly disgrace to the state of Missouri.
WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED At LAST
ne eultor OF This paper has been connect
ga WIN journalism. directly and Indirectly
since 1913, and has learned a last what NOT
10 put IN Inc columns OF a news paper-Srn
BdTd n Ala. State JOa1H0L
Undoubtedly the great art of editing n
newspaper Is TO know what 20 keep ont of
Its columns; but IL strikes us 10 has taxen
our migratory brother a long time to and
out The secret And now there is another
thing for him to learn, and that is, namely. tn
wft;-tbat double and treble leahei editorials
arnt OF as much account as they used 10 be.
Tie announcement has been hera.oed that
tLS ,as' mail train 10 Chicago reached that
City eight minutes ahead OF time, and that
for some reason or other the engineer capped
The climax by fainting-a singularly unmas
culine performance. The Baltimore Ameri-
con sees nothing TO commend in this, and
says that where o train runs ahead OF time
All precautions are disregarted and disaster
Is Invited; that it is the highest possible
srime against the laws OF wise railroad man
agement, and that the engineer guilty of IL
should receive certain dismissal All rea-
sonabiy prudent persons win iuiorse this
view OF the case. There Is lust as n,ucb

for a bill prohibiting colOTei people from
going into Pennsylvania to make that state

He also, in that capacity, voted to denounce

1t is not surprising that the noble army of
smuggIers keeps on getting bigger and bigger
every year, when it is seen 10 wha: trouble

TO import into this country from foreign

enclosed, was forwarded, ria New York
freight prepaid to that city, by one of the
express companies running on the ocean
steamer lines. But as the cOnsignee was not
in New York on its arrival, and as the
package was not directed TO be forwarded in
bond TO Chicago, where he lived, it was en-
tered for clearance at New York, and was
subsequently, forwarded TO him by another
express line from that city. And at this
point the custom house broker appears on
the scene. Here, also, is the little bill that
the astonished Chicagon got with his little
package,-wOrth al most about two dollars

not include the cost of carriage either from

Editor Home Journal:

Editor Home Journal:
1t has been the privilege ofthc writer o.
this little paper to visit Carrick Academy,
Winchester, Tenn, frequently for the past
two years. II is under the conduct OF
Professors Clark and Bledsoc. gentlemen,
by mental constitution and education,
mos5 happily associated in the imperisla-
bic cause of educatiOn-in whom there is
no guile, having thorough knowledge of
the sciences, and interchangeable industry in
teaching them.
Their public examinations for lS7l-75
are splendid testimonials to the character
OF their school. We have no hcSitancy in
recommending this school to the patron
age Of any and all who wish their sons
thoroughly educated. The present is felt
to be the niche Df time, when the citizens
of Winchester, the county of Franklin,
and the country ut large, should conserve
their " interests by coming up molly to
the support of this institution.
Know this, citizens: SlIOald you even
withhold the support which You ought to
give, yet this school, with the amount OF
energy and ilithiulneSs displayed by its
teachers and pupils for the last two years
is compelled to succeed in the face of all
opposition. Labor Omnid UiRcit.
Carrick Academy should at once be
chartered and made to enjoy all the adj
vantagcs OF Il privileged school. Franklin
county needs such an institution to battle
in her pure mountain air.
