FOR 1879.

On the LIST of May, 1916. the owner
ship and control of THE WORLD passed
into the hands of the undersigned, I'M
der whose absolute and untrammelled
direction The WORLD has ever since re-
manned and now remains. }9fs
During the whole of this time The
WORLD has labored patiently and perse-
veringly for the accomplishment of two
great objects in politics of paramount in
terest to the Southern people. t''3'
l. The restoration of local self-gov-
eminent at the South. - + g4f
2. A real reform of the Civil Service.
in snch wise rs to destroy the politica
machines under the operation Of which
it has come to pass that the people are
taxed to support political parties, where
as political parties have no other reason
Of teing except to lessen the burdens of
government.
The first of these objects has been tn
umphantly accomplished. All intelli-
gent Northern men now admit that all
parts of the country We're AS deeply in
terested as the South in seeing it won.
A corrupt and ti-Democratic govern
ment in the South was a permanent peril
principles in the Federal Government
aud therefore to the peace and honor Of
the whole people. -
The second political object for which
The WORLD contends still remains to be
fully achieved. The actnal Administra-
ton began its career with excellent
promises in this direction Of which it 10
sufficient to say that they have been as
yet only in part redeemed. TIE WORLD
for its part will resolutely support any
honest effort to redeem these promises
fully, by whOms0ever made, and will
as resolutely denounce every obstacle
thrown in the way of redeeming them,
from whatever quarter. ~
1t seems to the undersigned eminent
~ proper that be should ask the CO.
operation OF the best men of the south
with TIE WORLD in its efforts to carry
ont the policy here outlined. He be-
lieves The WORLD to be q paper which
Southern citizens and Democrats can
recommend to Southern readers as an
influence worthy aud important to be
brought to bear with constantly increas-
ing power upon the conduct of our ma
ti0nal affairs, in the interest of truth, Of
justice and of harmony among our peo-
pie of all sections. el,a
1t is my desire to keep The WORLD in
q living relation with the best thought
OF the South, to the end that the best
ideas, wishes and feelings of the South
ern people may be clearly and fairly
made known to the North, the East and
the West. Alike in private and in pub
lie affairs, the Misunderstanding Of men
by one another lies at the root Of 80
much evil that the word itself has come
to be synonym with quarreling and
strife. 1t was a wise saying Of Lord
Elgin, at the time of one of our sharpest
disputes with Great Britain, that two
intelligent gentlemen alone on O raft in
the Atlantic with plenary powers could
adjust the whole matter honorably in
an hour.
TIE WORLD simply asks its friends at
the South to aid it in bringing about o
complete meeting of minds on all pub
lie questions between the intelligent
citizens of all parts of the Union.

The Sunday law agitation has
spread all over the State. There
can be no doubt that Sunday la w
is popular in the country, as very
nearly all o. the parish police juries

made by many of the country dele

who should see to enforcing them.

A SCARE.

| A little before 9 o'clock last evening, q
man breathlessly ran into the Sheriff
office, and scarcely being able to articuIate a
sound, said, spasmodlcally, Well, Nlgilan-
! ties have been talked of 80 long here, now
you We got EN- l saw an immense crowd of
men walking up in the direction of Treadway S
Park Just now, and believe they re on some
mysterious business.
The officers present when the man entered
the Office were, Sheriff Hill, Officer Duncan,
and District Attorney Driesbach. &" know
it p cried Sheriff Hill, " the tar bucket has
been agitated so much that the people have
been aroused, and are going to take some
desperate steps to rid the town Of bad charac
tiers. Well, boys, let's take drink, and
then We'll 60 and dispense the mob"
They fortified themselves with a soda cock
tail each.
- must run home first for my shot gun"
said Driesbach.
"Never mind" replied Duncan, we'll
get arms at the Carson Guard Armory."
With three or four more of the usual habitues
of the Sherifs office, the excited peace max
ers armed themselves with rifles and pro-
ceeded in the direction of where they ex-
pected to find the vigilantes, whom they
thought to encounter in the act of hanging a
half dozen desperadoes. They took the back
streets so not to attract attention, and
when they arrived at the designated spot, III
place of finding mob of determined men,
they found coterie of pleasant young ladies
and gentlemen who had gone to some house
in the vicinity Of Treadway's Park on a sur
prise party. They acknowledged themselves
fairly sold, but heaped blessings of a doubtful
nature upon the head of the practical joker
Sheriff Hill offered an APPEAL reporter a
good share of his months salary if he would |
not give publicity to these facts, bat the report
er's consideration for the readers of this Jour
nal would not permit himself to be subsidized. |
The sold officers will probably deny this story, |
however, their denial is not to be credited in
his particular instance.
