THIRD EDITION.


Tho State yesterday began to pre-
sent in the Camden Court House, N.
T.. their star witnesses to prove that
Francis Lingo murdered Mrs. Annie
Miller. Tho counsel for Lingo com
fintied their method of defense. with
the endeavor to throw suspicion on
the husband OF the murdered woman,
and thus create doubt in the minds
OF the jury.
Miss Mary Collins, sister-in-law of
John Miller. was like the latter, as
called for over one hour with sharp
questioning by ex-Judge Westeott of
the defense. She related Mrs. Millers
departure for MooreStown on the
fatal day. and how she and her brother
in-law were uneasy over her failure to
return home on the evening of Sep
tender * Through NIrs. Cathai'ine
Miller, mother of the bereft husband,
+ the State produced evidence showing
that Mrs. Miller entered the blush
lot" about = o'clock in the afternoon
OF tho day OF the crime.
Then followed two ll-year-old school
children, Annie Carlin and Beulah
Clnntz, who testified they saw Mrs.
Miller and Lingo walking toward The
Matchtown track at about the same
time. The State Is confident that the
evidence or these school children will
have grent weight with the Jury. The
story OF the finding of the body was
told by John Milton Brown, n colored
man. During the cross-eXaminutiun
OF County Physician lsZlrd il was re
vealed that the defense will seek to
show that medical science combats
the testimony of tho experts The
State will present expert testimony
this morning.

For Governor

Col. w. A. McCorkle, of Charles
ton, is announced rs candidate,
for Governor. All indications at
present put him far in the lead
Colonel McCorkle is distinguished
lawyer and a gentleman of unblem-
ished reputation. Years ago he
came from his old home in Virginia
to this state and settled in Charles
ton. His family had been bankrupt
ed by the ravages of war and William
was thus early thrown upon his own
resources. With a clear head, a
vigorous body and plenty of deter
mination he set up for himself. OF
course he had the usual experience
young men have under such circnm-
stances, but he did not get discourage
ed. He worked away like Trojan
until he stood at the head of his pro-
fession and became one of the lead
ing citizens of the city of his adop-
ton.
Colonel McCorkle is a cultured,
genial gentleman and has a host of
friends scattered all over the state.
He will go into the next state con-
vention with great strength.
Should the democrats make him
their standard bearer a brilliant
canvass will be the result and an
old time democratic majority will
follow.

The Protectionists of this country
are just now endeavoring through
diplomacy to persuade the protection
countries of Germany and France to
lower their duties on certain Ameri-
can products.
The logic of this request is that
high duties are very good for this
country but very bad for foreign
nations.
Our Administration boasts of reci-
procity treaties which have secured
free admission or greatly reduced
duties on many American products
going into foreign lands, without
abating in return any tax upon i'm
ports into this country.
The logic of this policy is that it
is highly priseworthy to untax nee
essaries for foreign peoples, but
that it is patriotic duty to heap
still higher the taxes on the neces-
saries of our own people.
The Republican stumpers point
with pride to cheaper sugar as the
result of untaxing it, and then claim
that five hundred other articles have
been OF will be made cheaper by
taxing them.
The logic of this claim is that in
creasing burden generally makes
the load lighter.
Great are the paradoxes of Pro
tection.-N. Y. World.
