II It Happen. to BE McGtnty Thee Is .
Great Deal in 1t.
'tIt's all right to say there is nothing
in name; that "a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet, and all that kind
of thing, but tell you there is afgood
deal in a cognomen," said friend Of
mine the other day. i.tr s ~
My friend rejoices in the popula:-or
overpopular name of McGinty. He
lives in Lake View, where he is we'll
known. A few days ago he went TO a
large toy house downtown and pur-
chased a fine hobby-horse for his little
boy for birthday present. Much to the
disappointment of both McGinty senior
and junior, the present did not arrive at
the appointed time.
So, the following day, my friend went
to the store, and, approaching a sales
man, he related the facts in the case
and demanded an explanation OF the az
fair. The salesman promised to lock
into the matter.
''By the way" he said to my friend,
+'what is you name?"
"McGinty," was the answer.
A look of unutterable anguish fitted
over the face of the clerk. He tried his
best not to laugh. but the effort was not
a complete success. Tie thought he was
being made the victim of orn-out
joke, but at the same limo he didn't like
to take the chances of making Gus.
toner angry. So he called boy and
told him to go to the shipping-o and
find out if there was an undeliverod
hobby-horse there.

''Mr. McGinty," was the answer.
The effect on the boy was electrical

1T WAS ONLY A BLUFF.
THOUGHT THEY WANTED
TO LYNCH HARRIS.
Officer Hunter was Informed Of
Il but he Didn't Scare-New
Theory Gaining Ground
No Arrests To-Day.

There was some talk among the negroes
of West Ashcvillc last night of organizing
mob and lynching Tom Harris, who is
in the county jail charged with the MUIR
der of Harriet Williams. A colored man
rushed up the street and told as much to
Officer Hunter, but he had no fear of such
a happening and did not report it to the
jailer.
Nothing unusual did occur and it is
hardly probable that the cnraGcd col
orcd citizens will attempt to step in
ahead of the law.
There were no more arrests made to-
day, but the theory that the woman was
murdered for her land and not the money
on her person is gaining ground, and it is
now thought that more implicated per-
sons than the murderer were on the
ground on Saturday night. Three tracks,
two made by men and one by woman,
were found in corn field adjoining the
house, and the owner is willing to swear
that they were made on Saturday night,
and not during the day. He was near and
would have seen the people when they
were crossing.
Harris now will have nothing to say
of his case. and il is claimed that Leah
Foreman has told two different stories
concerning her whereabouts on that
night. One was that she was at her
home and the other that she went to the
old depot with friends. The old depot
is on the road to the dead woman's
home. The officers are following every
clue and are doing their utmost to run
down the guilty persons.

The Mayors court was crowded with
negro men and women this morning.
Several of their number, all OF the weaker
sex, were charged with fighting and us

came along either as witnesses or to see
that it was all done right.
Lille Gambler was the first one whose
name was called. She was accused OF
saying naughty things to Jane Mills and
was found guilty. Millcv Wilson came
next and her guilt was also easily proved
and she was assessed So. Then came

one of the commandments and Jane
Mills was perfectly willing to admit that
they had done it. The result was tina,

WHATTHE SOUTH NEEDS.

Ex-Governor Robert Lowry, of Missis-
sippi, writing in the North American Re-
view, and speaking for his own State
and for the South generally, says that
three things are generally needed, namely:
systematizcd labor, less legislation, and
capital; and the greatest of these is capi-
tai.
From 1874, since the people of the
South took things into their own hands
and claimed for themselves home rule, the
section has grown rapidly in wealth and
prosperity. the Governor saws. AS an in
stance OF this he mentions that in 1889
Mississippi spent S1,000,O00 for public
schools. This is large sum certainly to
one who has not lived in nm atmosphere
of public schools but il must be rcmcm-
bcrcd that some large cities of the Union
spend each as much as that for education
every year.
Contrary to the opinion of many, Mr..
Lowry declares that negro labor is and
always will be the cheapest and best
that can be obtained for raising cotton,
1t might be mentioned that the negro has
been raising something else than cotton
in the South now for number of years
Both natural adaptability to the climnt,
and natural inclination fit the colorct
man for cotton culture, in the Judgment
of Governor Lowry.
Too much legislation has been the ban'
of the South. says the Governor. lie il
a wise man to have discovered that
Prophets and sagcs alike agree III th'
dictum that we have far too many law'
and that the higher the civilization tn
fewer laws will be needed. The Govcrno
longs to hear from one end of the iai
South to the other the busy hum u
factories, particularly cotton factories
Mississippi is especially adapted to them
with cheap labor, cheap fuel, cheap land
no end of water, aud the raw matcria
raised in proiusion.
Finally, 1890 finds the Southern State
more prosperous than they have bee,
any time in the last twenty-five years
Mines. factories, farming and all voc0
tons are reasonably yrcmunerativc. CaI
ital is greatly needed to develop the II
sources OF the country, and money il
vested in the South, we are to inic,
would pay handsomely.
