These are wise words from the
great orator, Henry Grady:
when will the black cast n free
ballot? When ignorance anywhere
is not dominated by the will of the
intelligent. When the laborer any.
where casts vote unhindered by
his boss. When the vote of the
poor anywhereIs not influenced by
the power of the rich. When the
strong and s.eadfast do not every.
where control the suffrage of the
weak and shiltless-then and not
till tbs Is vi the ballot of the ne
gro be n The white people OF
the south are banded, Mr., Presi-
dent, not in prejudice against the
blacks, not in sectional estrange-
ment, not in the hope of political
dominion-but in deep and abid
ng necessity. The negro vote can
never control In the south, and it
would be we'll If partisans at the
north would understand this, |
have seen the white people of the
state set about by black hosts un-
til their fate seemed sealed. But
sir, some brave man, banding them
together would rise, as Elisha rose
In beleaguered Samaria, and touch
ing their eyes with faith, bid them
look abroad to see the air filed
with tho chariots of Isrsel and
horsemen thereof"

The Famous Croni7s Case Ended.

Il rec 0HeV0o CfOfeese CNSc A&f1ttcUs
The jury in the Cronin trial re-
turned a verdict Monday after hav-
ing been out nearly four days with
out arriving at any conclusion.
A hush fell over the vast audi
ence in the court room as the jury
filed into the court room headed by
foreman Clark.
"The Clerk will call the roll of
jurorsp'
Every person in the audience
gave convulsive start as the sound
of the Jldge's voice broke the ST.
lence only to add q deeper awe to
the solemnity of the occasion.
Slowly the jurors answered to
their names, and the twelve men
were announced to be present.
"Gen tlemen," said the court. 81
understand you have reached a
conclusion in this case"
With a bow Foreman Clarke,
took from his pocket huge envel-
ope, and handed it to the Judge,
who in turn handed it to the clerk.
"The Clerk will read the verdict
said the court.
A profound hnsh fell upon the
audience instantly and as the clerk
tore open the envelope the sound
fell discordantly upon anxious ears
A moment later this anxiety be-
came painful in its intensity as the
sonorous voice of the clerk began
the reading of the verdict.
eve the jury, find the defendant
John f. Beggs not guilty. We,
the jury, find the defendant John
Kunze guilty Of manslaughter, as
charged in the indictment, and fix
his punishment at Imprisonment in
the peniteutiary for term of three
years. We, the jury find the de-
PENDANTS Dan Coughlin, Patrick
O'Sullivan and Martin Burke guilty
of murder in the manner and form
as charged in the indictment, and
fix the penalty at Imprisonment in
the penitentiary for the term of
their natural lives"
Mr.. Forrest, of the defense, at
once requested that the jury be
polled, and this was ordered by the
court. To each of the jurors the
question was put by the clerk of
the court: "Was this and Is this
now your verdict"
Foreman Clark was the first man
to rise and answer firmly in the at
firmative. The eleven men followed
in turn and gave the same answer.
Simultaneous with tie announce
ment Of the verdict, Coughlin,
O'Sullivan and Burke turned
deathly pale, while Kunze started
suddenly from his seat, and. mo.
ment later dropped his head upon
his breast and burst into tears.
Beggs' face was luminous with
joy and he walked over to the jury
oox..and thanked the jury for their
decision in his favor. The only
sound which broke the stiffness was
the sobs of of the little German,
Kunze.
Tears rolled down 0'Sulhvan's
cheek for moment but his black
eyes flashed defiance a moment
later. Burke was the least affected
OF the trio. Mr.. Forrest, counsel
for the defense made motion for
new trial, and argument therefor
was set for Jan. 18th.

Good Country Roads

The country press of Tennessee
is treading the path worn smoosh
by THE CITIZEN ten years ago.
Giles county then had worse rosds
and more material for their con-
struction than any county in the
state, perhaps. The reader remem-
bers with what persistancy and
never-let loose.ti.l-it thunders per-
tinacity THE CITIZEN dinged,
donged and deviled until it wok e
, the people up. What was the re-
suit! We got several new turn
pixies leading from Pulaski, several
others across the country and a
general rebuilding of country roads,
until to day Giles county is in good
condition in respect of roads. They
might be better and more general
and numerous, and they are con.
tinrally becoming SO.
THE CITIZEN does not arrogate in
saying now that it did the work
The people needed only 10 be
aroused and coached to concerted
effort; and now that they have seer
how UNNECESSARILY beneficial, ant

easily and eheaply they can b.

The Repastnc in DANGER.


1t is not unusual to heir it az
serted during heated poll tical cam
paigns that the country is in dan
ger, that the liberties of the peo-
pie are being encroached upon, ana
the assurt ion has the
of reality. That there
has been a gradual encroachment
upon and entailmen OF the con-
stitutlonal rights OF the people oil
the states and a continual masslng
of power in the central government
is indisputably patent to all think
ing men, and the movement has
been so SIN oothly and deity car
ried on and with such affectation
and protestation of atriotic motive
that the people have been deceived
into passive acquiescence.
Now there is real danger! The
alarm is not sounded now for po-
litical effect. There are no elec-
tions at hand and no voters to be
Influenced or frightened at the cry
of "wolf." The republicans, taking
courage from the passiveness Of
the people, covering their tracks al

from extreme to extremity unit
now they are upon the eve OF
more serious and diabolical at

people and the autonomy of the
states than was ever before con-
cocted.
