Fayors Capltal Punishment,

BALTIMORE, October 16.-Cardinal
Gibbons sees in The tssdiness with which
iustice Is iieted out to criminals seri.
ohs menace to good order and good gov.
ernmeut. He fayors and is q believer in
the efficiency Of capital punishment, and
is of the opinion that the.s are too mai1y
loopholes thfough which guilty persons
may escape punishment for crime. In
bis new work, "0ur Christian Heritage" !"
soon to be published. the Cardinal
says: ;. =;
so 5ften interposes between criminal
conviction and the execution cf the sen
tence, and the FREQUENT defeat of justice
by the delay. Human life il indeed ga
cred. but the lahdable effort 10 guard it
has gone beyond bounds. Of late years
the difficulty to convict, in murder trials
especially, has greatly increased from
the widened application Of the pleas in
bar--no.ably that of insanity. When q
conviction has been reached innumera-
BILE delays generally stay the execution.
The many grounds of exception allowed
to the counsel, the appeals from one
court to another, with final application to
the Governor, and the facility with which
signatures for pardon are obtained have
combined to throw around ..culprits an
extravagant protective system, and gone
far to rob jury trial of Its substance and
efficacy. A prompt execution of the
laws sentence after a fair trial is that
which strikes terror into evil doers aud
satisfies the public conscience. The
reverse of this among us has brought
reproach upon the ADMINISTRATION OF
Justice, and given plausible grounds for
the application of lynch law"

seed are all the 20. Our merchants are
selling goods very low.
The Alliance Store is in full blast with
accommodating salesmen. They seem to
be doing well. Be it said to the honor OF
our merchants that they have all treated
the Alliance Store with much respect.
Messrs. Shirley, Finley & Shirley have
employed our popular young friend, Mr..

About twenty bales Of cotton caught on
fire at the gin of Mr.. G. e. Harper, but
by the timely assistance of many friends
the fire was extinguished before much
damage was dohe.
Messrs. e. M. Greer and G. e. Harper
have been very sick, but are on the street
again. Mrs. T. H. Brock and Johnnie

A good many of our citizens went up to
Anderson Tuesday. We suppose they
went to see the show. We have been
wondering how much money Church
members will spend to see the show
We expect they will give-that Is some Of
them-as much to see the show as they
have given during the year for missions.
But of course they, 9. 6. Church members,
just 60 to let the children see the animals,
nothing more.
Our people will give an entertainment
or hot supper on Friday night, the 8th OF
November next, for the benefit of the
school house. The people of Honea Path
never make failure in anything of the
kind, so let everybody who can save lit
tie money and como to the hot supper.
It is thought that some of our bachelors
will get off soon. We heard the other
day that one of our merchant bachelors
was so attentive to certain young lady
that wheE she came into the store that he
would not let the clerks wait on her, but
he would wait on her himself.

decided to study Dentistry; under the pop

Let my friend make a showing fol-
cotton baggiDgS like this. In using Jute
bagging use the heaviest you eau get,
and put on nine yards to the bale. Use
heaviest ties and put six to the bale, and
thus put on mere than the Liverpool
men stare" of.
However, We must no: lose sight of
the fact there is no such thing as stare"
in the United States. Here all cotton
is sold at gross weight. and the cotton
| planter almost inyari ably parts with bis
interest in the cotton he raises before it
is exported, consequently he is not affect
ed by the tare, except so far as it affects
the price of cotton.
What I am trying to do is to aid the
"horney. handed" sons of toll in getting at
the best solution of the bagging
question. Anybody who will only stop
and calmly think will see that tits not to
the interest of, the cotton farmer to cover
his cotton in cotton bagging. For as
stated in my first suggestion, it will al
ways be q loss to buy manufactured goods
and sell it again at the price of lint cot
ton. The consumer must sustain as loss
the difference in the price of manufac-
tured and manufactured cotton. This
is too plain to need demonstration. It is
an automatic proposition. Let us not
fuss over these questions, but calmly and
carefully consider them from all sides,
and finding the truth, cling to it like
"grim death to dead niger" Very
respectfully, FARMERS Son.
