1t would perhaps be unfair to con.
denim the jury in the Chisholm case
without qualification, upon the meagel
abstracts of testimony which have been
telegraphed North, but at this distance
its verdict looks like gross and utterly
inexcusable perversion of the machinery
ofjustice. Cornelia Chisholm, the brave
girl who followed her father to prison
and interposed her body between him
and the shotguns of his pursuers, was
murdered beyond all doubt Her moth.
er was an eyewitness of the scene. She
swore few days ago that she saw Henry
J. Gully. one of the leaders of the mob,
fire through the grated door of the pris-
on, when COrnelia fell from the gunshot
wounds from which she died She
identified the murderer, and there was
ample proof that the poor girl died from
the wounds that he inflicted; vet the
man thus identified is acquitted by this
jury after so called deliberation of half
an hour. The idea that such verdict
is Just may prevail in Mississippi, but
will prevail nowhere else. 1t is impos.
sible to resist the conclusion that the
trial was farce, that the worst that has
been said about the depraved public sen.
timent Of Mississippi is true and that the
courts of that State are utterly inef.
ficient for the enforcement of the law
that makes murder a crime-Pkitadel

A Visit to ROcklOw.

EDITOR REGISTER We had the
pleasure of making the Rocklow neigh
borhood short visit last week. Found
every thing in a fourishing condition,
the people all in good spirits and evi
IDENTIFY enjoying the best of prosperity,
Rocklow is situated about twenty
miles east of lola in one of the most
fertile regions of Allen county. The
post Office is kept by Mr.. Lenard, he also
carries small stock of dry goods and
groceries which he sells and exchanges
for butter and eggs.
The people are enterprising, economical
and generous. The elements of prosper.
ity are everywhere apparent, and in the
near future this neighborhood will rank
second to none in the county for wealth
and refinement. The farmers at present
are busy at work putting up feed for
winter and hauling off their cane to be
manufactured into molasses.
During our visit we had the pleasure
of taking supper at Mr.. Harvey's in
company with quite a number of the
fair sex of Rocklow. The occasion was
one which We shall long remember with
pleasure. We also paid a visit to the
school in Dist. No. SO, taught by Miss
Libbie Ray, found the pupils all deeply
engaged with their studies. We list
ened to several Rotations and were
highly pleased with the thoroughness of
the work on the part of the teacher and
the pupils. This is Miss Rays third
term in the Rocklow school which is
certainly abundant proof of her popu.
larity as teacher.
DR.. Rannell still survives and has an
extensive practice, although it is reas-
onably healthy for this time of year.
Emigration is pouring in fast and .
considerable amount of property changes
hands every week.
The Rocklow people are rejoicing over
the fact that they will soon be rid of the
book agents.
Almost everybody in this section takes
The REGISTER which certainly speaks
well for their intelligence and good
judgment. On the whole we were de-
lighted with our visit and shall ever
keep fresh in our memory the generous
hospitality of her people. C.. W.
