The Use of Books.
From the Providence Journ al ]

doubt, that we Americans are a
reading people. We have been
told so a great many times, and the
fact that we buy few books surley
offers no reason for discrediting Il e
statement. Most ofus bh,.t other
uses for our money tban pending
it in the accumulated u libraries.
We get our intellec'DG.t food as we
do any other kind md throw it
away when we Y &c extracted a
sufficient amour- of nourishment
from it. In other words, our
patronage of literature, which we
are sometimes disposed to regard as
munifcent, consists mainly in buy
ing newspapers and magazines, and
illustrated ,gift-books, and paper
covered novels.
Perhaps we also have for an
ornament a case of those volumes
which no gentleman's library
should be without. But even the
well-to-do among us are, collective
1y speaking, poor in this world S
intellectual goods. We look at a
dollar a long time before we pass it
over a booksellers counter,
although. we bestow dimes with
lavish hand upon the ephemeral
stuff which passes for reading"
Explain or defend our attitude to-
ward literature as we may, we are
obliged to admit the melancholy
fact. We are nation of readers,
and we do not love docks. This is
paradox which some of the oppo-
nents of the law of copyright
might exercise their wits in trying
to explain. The suggestion that
Americans have ceased to value
books because the absence of
copyright permitted the theft of
them for so many years is all OBJ
vious one, and worth considering;
but it hardly seems to cover the
whole ground after all. The prac-
tice of piracy unquestionably tended
to reduce prices far below normal
standard and to inplant in the
minds of buyers feeling thai almost
any book ought to be purchasable
in terms of our silver coinage.
And it further demoralized the
public by multiplying cheap and
nasty books and also cheap and
nasty editions of good books. Men
who thought they ought to own
Macaulay's history, for example,
would get it at bargrin in 5 vols.
for $2.25. The outside of such an
edition might be reasonably fair to

The stream shows signs of drying

grown carless of the appearance of
books and accustomed to maltreat-

learned to dislike uncut edges and
have forgotten how to WELD the
paper cutter; so that if a volume
comes forth credit to its publisher
it does not long remain credit to
its owner.

that every reader should be a

BOWIE COUNTY KILLING.
The Gist of the Testimony in the Mozier
Oase-The Vines Killing.


Case-The Vines Killing.
Special TO the Gazette.
New Boston, TEX, March 19.-This
evening at 3 O'Clock the jury in the William
MoZier murder case after being out eigh-
teen hours returned verdict of not guilty.
The evidence In the case showed that Mozier
and VIII Nettles had been in the Inger-
soil part of the day, that William
Nettles and Mozier had been bringing
freely and that Mozier had put Nettles on
a bench to sleep. That after Nettles had
lain down Mozier fired off his shotgun in
the saloon. Nettles, being an officer, sprang
up, took Mozier's gun away from him, and
taking out the shells handed the gun back
Mozier walked out of the saloon, off of the
sidewalk, and put new shells in his gun.
-Nettles picking up Winchester,
went out to Mozier, and tried to
take his gun again, and Mozier held
Nettles' gun. So Nettles fired his
gun off by Mozier's side and the two
turned each others gun loose and stepped
off five or six feet; both raised guns, but
Mozier fired first, striking Netties in the
arm and side, making hole. He fired
the second shot, which filed Nettles
from the neck down to the nipples with
squirrel shot. Mozier has been good citizen
while in our county and it is the first time
we have heard of him being in trouble since
he has been in our county.
Your reporter from Texarkana has got
the Morgan and Shields killing mixed.
The killing occurred on the Pax
ton plantation, which was as
follows: Morgan being deputy sheriff,
papers were placed in his hands authoriz-
ing him to take into his possession horse
that Charley Vines (the murderer) had
given mortgage on to Bioxham & De-
morse; that when Morgan rode up to the
cotton pen that William Vines, Pauline
Tiller and two daughters of John Thompson,
colored, were standing near; that Nor
gan asked where Charley was;
that as Morgan sat on his horse
Charles Vines fired on him from the cotton
pen, shooting HIM in the head, killing him
Charles Vines made the two
girls leave. de then took Norgan's pistol
of the scabbard and dragged him to Red
River, tied something to him and threw
him in. The string broke or came loose
from what Morgan was tied to, and on the
third or fourth day his body arose.
