ANARCHIST FRANCH GUILLoTINED
Jose Salvador Franch, probably the
most desperate anarchist of the age
the man who, on November 7, 1898
threw dynamite bomb into the Lycec
Theatre in Paris, killing twenty people
and wounding fifty others, was execut.
ed this morning at S o'clock in BARGE
Iona.
Franch yesterday morning was taken
to the prison chapel, there to pass the
last twenty-four hours of his life. The
chapel was heavily draped with black
and lighted yellow candles were dis
played on the altar, which produced a
gruesome effect. Franch refused tc
sign his death warrant as the law re-
quires, exclaiming:
"Long live anarchy"
Upon entering the chapel he refused
to receive the priests, and to Jesuit
father who sought to administer reli
gious consolation, the anarchist ex-
claimed fiercely:
sect out was only acting-only
pretending to be religious-in order to
live well and hoping to get pardon.
The crime I committed was an expia-
ton due from the bourgeoise."
The prisoner throughout the last day
and night of his life showed no fear
His meals were eaten with good ap-
petite and were apparently heartily
relished. At eight o'clock last evening
his wife and daughter were admitted
to his presence and spent considerable
time in an endeavor to induce him to
confess his crimes and accept the con-
ISOLATION of religion, saying: IF you
don't you will ruin u.s." Franch an,
grily and with greatest excitement re
fused to pay any heed to their appeals.
1t was several times found necessary
for the military to charge upon and dis
perse the crowds which had collected
about the prison in the hope of seeing
the execution.
Franch cried: "Long live anarchy"
as he was being led to the place Of his
execution, and scoffed at religion to
to the last. A few minutes before he
was put to death he began singing, and
continued his song until he was no
longer able 10 utter sound.
Franch's daughter is to be rebaptized
and cnristened Libertad.

THE RIGHT RING.

In democratic caucus in Washing
ton few nights ago, speaker Crisp Off
cred the following resolution, which
gives the ring that the laboring people
of the country like to hear:
"REsOLvED, That it is the sense OF
this caucus that it is the duty Of every
Democratic member of the House to
vote for the pending resolution prov;d-
ing for the consideration OF the tariff bill
in order that the house may have an
opportunity to redeem the pledges OF
the party respecting tarih reform.
"REsoLvED further, That It Is the du-
ty of every Democratic member OF the
House to attend it's daily sissions; and
we hereby express the opinion that those
members who are absent owe it to the
party and to those of US who are here
to Immediately return, in order that
pressing public business may be attend
ed to-"

IN THIS WE REJOICE.

Six wears ago, the 23rd of last De-
cember, the present editor assumed
control of The DEMOCRAT. Almost
with the first issue we began to advise
and urge the farmers to raise their own
supplies. At that time they were get
ting fair prices for their cotton and
many were making cotton to the al
most entire exclusion of other crops.
From an experience in farm life from
Infancy to majority, as we'll as from
logical conclusions, we knew that the
farmers were making mistake to tax
their lands with the production of cot
ton every year and buy their meat and
corn from other markets. And we have
persistently advised against such a
course.
The answers gathered from a large
number of farmers-nOt the least nor
the smallest, but representative farmers
and sprinted in this issue, bear out
the wisdom of the system for which
THE DEEOCRAT has been pleading. The
farmers of Halifax county, and we pre-
sumo of all the other counties-we
know of many of them-are in better
condition than they have been in
many years and it is so from the sim
pie fact that their cribs and barns and
smOke-hOuses are better filled.
In this THE DEMOCRAT rejoices. Let
us all be glad and take courage and
continue this wise policy.

point a committee TO protect their interests.
The new company. tired of the competition,
is willing to sell out to the old company, if
a certain amount of cash can be paid at
certain date. The committee consider va IS
and means for raising this large amount,
and their first step is to call on all the
bondholders of the old company to deposit
with them, their bonds, as security, for
the amount to be raised. Suppose three
fourths of the whole number of bondholders
respond and deposit their bombs, then the
COMMITTEES proceed TO form plan to raise
the required %anount. They offer for sale
TO each bondholder, a certain amount of
stock (of greater or less value, provided
reorganization is effected) ana say, in
