After rccting the Indiana license law
the Free Press and Times says
This is pretty stringent license law !;
and it will doubtless share the fate of all
strict license laws, in prevailing non-en-
forcement If it does not become practi-
cally a dead letter on every large town In
Indiana-broken a hundred times for every
one time that it is obeyed or enforced-it
will be an exception in the history of all
license laws which require anything more
than a moderate fee for license, or really
undertakes to restrict the traffic in liquor.
Wouldn't the above be very fair de-
scriplion of the prohibitory law which is
becoming practically dead letter III
every large town, broken q hundred times
for every one time that it is obeyed or en-
forced. ST. Abans Advertiser.

The Centennial.

President Grant has agreed to be at Lex
ington in the forenoon and at Concord in
the afternoon, on the day of the centennial
celebration, and having expressed desire
to travel over the same road from Boston
that the British did on the morning of
April 10, 1915, the national Lancers of
Boston have been detailed to act as escort
over the entire route, and after dining at
Lexington, the Ancient and honorable ar
tillery will escort him to Concord.

TIE DEBATING HE'LL.

s.. Paul once told the Corinthians that
1.-THE fashion of tins world passeth away"
This self-eYident fact enforced his argu-
mcnt although the Corinthians have not
been handed down TO us as particular de-
voices of fashionable folly, and history has
failed to record the use or abuse Of church
bells at that far Off day and among that
particular people. The fashion of bell
ringing could not, therefore, pass away,
although they might die ard thus exemplify
the passing away of the fashione of the
world. The Corinthians never knew how
much they lost Their blissful ignorance
spared them the pang of parting with their
church bells. They knew soon enough
when death occurred without being told
of it by the toll of bell. When they went
to church, which was rare enough, they

Escape of n Convict.

A negro convict employed in the
stone quarry near White Rock, about
five miles from the city, made his
escape from the guards, Saturday morn
ing, and so far has succeeded in elud-
ing the vigilance of those in pursuit,
Notwithstanding the enormous reward
of twenty-five dollars has been offered
for his recapture.
There has evidently been gross ne
glect of duty or discipline, If the cir
cumstances are as related to THE
HERALD's reporter The negro was
under sentence for term of forty
years, for committing rape upon a
white child, yet he was allowed to
move around beyond gun shot of the
guard, and, in fact, at the time of his
escape, was sent upon an GRAND be-
yond the guard lines.
This penitentiary business will GER
tainly have to be inquired into, and
that, too, by no kid-glove committee.
This everyday escape of convicts,
added TO the recent story of horrors,
published in the New Orleans Times,
looks as II an investigating committee
might possibly find matter to work
upon. To say the least, some restraint
should be put upon prisoners convicted
Of such heinous offences as the one
alluded 10 in this article.

Particulars of the Death of Jesse ID.
White.
RumOrs OF u Man Hanged Last Friday
UnfOunded.


A rumor prevailed in the city Sun
day evening to the effect that u man,
supposed to be the individual who
made the complaint against certain
citizens of Scyene, some months since,
OH charge of kukluxing, had been
found hanging to tree u short dis
lance from Scyene.
The HERALD promptly dispatched a
reporter to the scene, who, upon in
quiry and investigation found the re-
port to be utterly without foundat ion.
What could have given rise to the ru-
NOR is beyond conjecture, as there has
been no trouble of any kind to give
the slightest Justification for such re-
port.
The reporter met and was introduced
to several intelligent gentlemen, who
assured him that there was no founda-
ton whatever in the rumors that pre-
vail of lawlessness and crime III their
section. They state that they are, and
ever have been, ready and willing to
assist the officers in executing the laws.
Every man found carrying a weapon is
arrested; and as an evidence, young
gentleman well known in the neigh
borhood put in an appearance before
Squire Coates, while the reporter was
present, to answer three several COM
plants of carrying deadly weapons.
A great deal of capital has been at
tempted to be made against Scyene by
the murder of Jesse ID. White, which
occurred on the evening of the 10th
ultimo. From Esquire Thomas ID.
Coates we gather the following synop-
sis of the testimony adduced before the
eoroner's inquest.

Another RniIrona Accident.

The HERALD is again called upon
to chronicle another terrible and most
probably fatal railroad accident. Sun
day night, about halfpast nine o'clock,
brakeman named Scott Manning,
while endeavoring to couple the front
engine of the locomotive to some cars
ut Terrell, was unfortunately jammed
in between them, and received such
injuries as will in all probability result
in his death. He received a terrible
cut in his left side, through which
his heart and lungs were plainly
visible, besides having his right foot
terribly mangled. The railroad en-
ployes did all in their power for him.
He was transferred to comfortable
quarters, and two skillful physicians
summoned to attend him. Strange as
it may appear, his physicians feel con-
lldent of saving his life, if they can
succeed in keeping down inflammation.

A bet of five hundred dollars was

merchant that Judge Kerfoot would
be the next mayor of Dallas. The
man of pine planks backed "Old Tige."
If any enthusiastic supporter wants to
bet thousand dollars on the election
of any particular candidate, we would
like to hold the stake, but it would
take locomotive and about twenty
yoke of oxen to hold us.
