BITTER AND UNFAIR.

With persistency that is only
equalled by his oGliqulty of vision,
the editor of the Farmerville Ga.
zette continues to harp upon that
old charge against Judge w. Il.
Rutland. At the opening of this con
troyersy we knew but little about
the parties or the circumstances,
and had to depend on the state
ments and recollections of our cit
liens, ali of Our records having
been destroyed by fire. Within
the last few days, however, we
have been furnished with an au-
thentic copy Of the Indictment. as
well as other papers in the case. A
careful examination and compar-
ison cOnvinces us that all the state,
ments we have heretofore made On
the authority Of friends consulted
i'll the matter agree ,cith the record.
This being the case we shall con.
slider only a single sentence of the
two columns ofillogical and unrea.
soning constructions and deduc.
tons arrived at by the editor of the
Gazette. He says:
The assertion that the Chronicle
makes that Rutland was indicted
as tar collector is not true. We had
a copy of the original bill and thor
oughly investigated it in 1877. ~,
fore Hon. g. II. Ellis went to Grant
parish with Rutland.
The authentic copy of tue origi.
nal bill Of indictment now in our
possession reoites:

parish aforesaid, On the-day of

arms, in the parish, district and

4 OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ON
UEUOCKICY.

The advocates of whisky in their
tana,ical zeal in behalf ct the H.
quor traffic are trying to read out
Of the Democratic party every
man who favorS prohibition or To-
cal option. They claim the right
to sell whiSkcy an '';nalielabIe
ones and that the DemOcra tic
party has no mission on earth if it
cannot defend The liberty of the
citizen by combating prohibition.
Some have even gone so far as to
contend that prohibition is an at
tack upon personal liberty intcn-
ued to overthrow the Democratic
party"
If whiskey and Democracy are
Synonymous terms then these ap.
oStlcs of liberty 81 are undoubted-
ly correct. 1t is easy enough to
prove that all friends of temper
alice are un,lemocratic if they are
allowed to define Democracy.
But fortunately the friends of the
cause are intelligent enough to
understand Democratic principles
without the aid of these advocates
Of gazzling who seek by this course
to turn the tide which is destined
to overwhelm them.
The inalienablc rights mentioned
by jefferson and other illustrious
Democrats were not beer and
whiskev but ''life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" TO secure
these right II constitutional gov
eminent was instituted deriving
its just power "from the consent
of the governed" This consent
can be ascertained only by the
voice Of the people who are SOW
crign and it is clear that 'the SIT
preme will (of the people) never
can Intentionally enact a law which
is not required, or, in other words,
lay upon its OWN freedom any need
less restraint" Hence it is in
perfect accord with the true spirit
of Democracy, and no infraction of
popular rights, for the majority to
enact such laws against gambling,
polygamy, prostitution, the various
nuisances, immoralitics, etc, as
the public good may demand, and
to restrict or prohibit such evils a.
are detrimental to the general
welfare, including the sale and use
of such articles of food or drink
as cause disease, paupcriSn. crime
and misery and so endanger the
life, health or morals, and unduly
tax tue property Of the people in
their "pursuit of happiness" Such
laws are not sumptuary in their
character but have ever been coz
sidcred by Democratic statesmen
us both legitimate and wise, and
promotive rather than restrictive
of popular rights.

like wild beasts over the mountain. Last
week Talt Hall, desperadO, and one

to the selection of Claiborne Jones as
juryman. Jones resented this, and the
two got their friends and fought in an
open iield
TWO or THE HALL FACTION KILLED.
Two Of the Hall faction were killed and
several wounded. The gentleman reports
that in Letcher county during the session
of court June Lincoln Banks, q noted
desperado, was shot and killed by James
Frazier, merchant Of Whitesburg, Ky.
Banks with his drunken gang was trying
to take possession of FraZier's store
when he was killed. John and Dick
Gross waylaid and shot George Burkhart,
their brother-In-law, last October. The
intended victim recovered. and, meeting
John Gross last Wednesday, shot and
killed him. All of the above desperadoes
are still at large and ready and ambitious

Suit of Clothes the other day, so l just
overhauled the columns of the NEWS TO

visit 0lE. One man said he had to move
shorty and price was no object. / looked
at his clothes, and suit of them would
certainly have made no (presentable)
object of me. The next man felt very
sorry for the public, and offered to give
away clothes almost. l looked at his
suits. P1l give you my word that he 1oitl
haze 10 gt0e them dlodg if he expects TO get
rid of them. Last Of all, dropped in on
simon Mitchell, the man with the BIG
ARM, at 159 BrOughton street, ready for

Clothing nearer ''custom-made'' than
anything / ever saw in Savannah, and as
for fit, anything that doesn't fit will be
made to fit at his expense, and as for
price, his figures are away below those of
the so-called 'Sslaughtering prices' of
other houses.
Mr.. Mitchell told me that he does not

treats every customer as he treated me he

Is sanguine of the speedy resumption of

HARVARD BEATS YALE.
The Crimson Crew Is Lengths in Ad

The Crimson Grew 10 Lengths IN Al
vance of the Blues.
NEW LONDON, CONN, June pa
great deal Of money changed
hands on the result of to-
days boat race. Most of it was at even
money, but after the rumor got afloat that
Yale's Captain, Flanders, was sick odds
of 10 to In favor Of Harvard were given.
FLANDERS was in his place. Yale took
the water very quickly, and obtained q
lead of about two feet. Harvard
settled 10 her work, however, and at 80
yards from the start had drawn up even,
and was beginning to draw ahead. In
less than 300 yards Harvard showed clear
water between herself and Yale, and Yale
never again got near her. At the finish
the Harvard crew appeared fresh and in
fine condition, while in the Yale boat Pc
tiers and Parrott appeared TO be blown,
and St0rrs pulled in a rather hstless
style.
Harvard won the race by 10 lengths.
The official time was: Harvard 2j:15%,
Yale 2B 80.
'fhe FIRST mile was made by Harvard in
5i50 and BY Yale in 500. The second
mile Harvard made in 1914 and Yale in
12:8S. The third mile Harvard made in
1855 and Yale in l9:45.
YALE's EXPLANATION.
The Yale oarsmen after the race ex-
planned Yales disastrous defeat by saying
that Yale was outrowed, and that Yale
paid too much attention to the inside OF
the boat, while Harvard paid strict atten-
tion TO the stroke outside Of the boat.
Certain il is that the result
ise great surprise TO Yale, as
she considered her crew sure
winners. Many prominent Yale
fnt.
that the result Of this race will break up
the Robert Cook and LOUIS Hull regime.
The record OF the Yaie-Harvard series
now stands for Harvard and for Yale,
while the Yale crew Of 1884 holds the best
time record. The Harvard men imme-
diately commenced to celebrate and
paraded the town, headed by band OF

Andrew Carnegie Gives the Young Folks
Some Practical advice.
PITTsBURG, June 20.-The event at the
Curry Institute commencement tonight
was Andrew Carnegie's address to the
graduates. In speaking to the normal
graduates Of the high position Of their
chosen profession, ne said: "Some time
ago 1 addressed the medical students in
New York and called the medical profess
sion the highest and noblest. Some time
after l received a letter from young
lady who had taken the first prize in all
her classes, in which. she said, she had
marked out the doctor in my speech
aud substituted teacher I now take
this first opportunity Of expressing my
entire concurrence with the lady cor
respondent"
To the young men Of the graduating
class he said among other things: 81
used to sweep out the office, and some OF
the successful men Of this city swept the
Office with me. There was Robert Pitcairn,
of the Pennsylvania Railroad; Davie
McCargo, of the Allegheny Valley Rail
road, and Billy M0reland, the city
sweeping the Office, and we thought
Davie was putting on style when
be wore bandana handkerchief
over his white shirt. So he was, for none
Of the rest Of us had any silk handker-
chief. Here are a few rules to be
observed: Don't aim high. but aim at the
highest. Then there is another rule often
told young men, Obey orders you break
owners.' That is good rule for book
keepers. tellers and clerks. Break orders
if you can save money for your employ
ers. You must attract attention, Boss
your boss. II he is the right kind of
man he'll like it; if he don't like it, leave
him. That's the way the younger part
ners of Carnegie Bros. oame up. Some OF
them treat me to-day as il l were an airy
New Yorker, who knew nothing about my
own business
