 , i Your correspondent from Pickens county in regard to the resolution passed by the late congressional convention at Guin only takes up the howl that is now raised by the opponents of Captain Bankhead. They would misiead the voters if they could. They would have the brother in black come ,,insat this late day and play full hand in making nominations, something that has never been done. We can't afford to over- turn old established usage to further any fnan' cause. The plea that it is an at the black belt is not true. Your corre- spondent should know that representation is fixed on the basis of population. The Guin resolution is so fair and equitable that it meets the approval of fair minded men everywhere. Kicking won't do any good. FAIRNESS.

Are most competent to fully appreciate the purity, sweetness, and delicacy of CUTICURA SOAP, and to discover new uses for it daily.
 For annoying irritations, chafings and ex. coriations of the skin and mucous membrane or too free or offensive precipitation it has proved most grateful.
 In the preparation of curative washes, solu. tions, etc., it is most valuable; possessing, by means of its combination with CUTIcURA, pecu- liarly purifying, cleansing and soothing pro- perties. It Is thus enabled to heal mucous irrita- tions, the cause of many annoying and debilitat. ing weaknesses, while it imparts strength to the membrane.
 CUTICURA SOAP possesses antseptic pro- perties and is capable of destroying microscopic life in many forms.
 There is no difference between the skin and the mucous membrane except that one is dry the other moist. Hence CUTICURA SOAP exerts the same purifying, soothing, and healing inc fuence in one case as in the other.
 Like all others of the CUTIcURA REMEDIES the CUTIcURA SOAP appeals to the refined and cul- tivatcd everywhere as the most effective skin purifying and beautifying soap we'll as the purest and sweetest for toilet and nursery.
 Sale greater than the combined sales of all other skin and complexion soaps.

Trees are felled by electricity in
the great forests of Galicia. For
cutting comparatively soft wood the
tool IS in the form OF an auger,
which is mounted on a carriage and
is moved to and fro and revolved at
the same time by a small electric
motor. As the cut deepens wedges
are inserted to prevent the rift from
closing, and when the tree is nearly
cut through an ak or hand saw is
used to finish the work. In this
way trees are fclled very rapidly and
with very little labor.

Lynch law had ITS origin in Vir-

has been investigating the early his
tory of that state. II was not mob

orderly, methodical and fair in It's
processes, and was strongly opposed
TO violence or mob rule. Its dis.

New York Herald. was simply that
its DEGREES and findings we're exc
cuted sternly and swiftly upon the
spot OF their delivery.
Charles Lynch, whose name is as
sOciated with the summary proceed
ings now known as acts u lynch
law, was a revolutionary soldier,
and after the war ended took mp his
residence in Pennsylvania county
The region in which he lived be-
came at one period of the revelation
infested b. bands OF Tories and out
laws, whose depredations upon the
defenseless people extended from the
lower parts Of North Carolina and
Virginia TO the passes OF the Blue
Ridge and headwaters OF the James
and other mountain streams De-

d. that should at once strike such
terror to those miscreants as would
relieve a community already suffer
ing from the ELECTS of hostile inya-
sion. Colonel Lynch was the man TO
take the lead in such an emergency.
He succeeded in organizing a body OF
patriotic citizens, men OF known char
acter and standing. Having laid his
plans for them, and securing their
approval. he at once proceeded TO
put them into execution. At the
head OF his followers he promptly
got upon the track OF the unsuspect
ing enemy. captured many and caused
the others to leave the country.
When any OF these outlaws fell into
his hands they were not taken al
once TO tree and hanged or tied TO
stake and shot, as is now done un-
der the perverted system OF the pres
ent dav. This, was not according to
the code Of Colonel Lynch and his
followers. So far from such law
less procedure a jury was selected
from Lynch's men. over which he
presided as Judge; the captives were
tried separately. the accused allowed
to make his own defense. and TO
show cause. il he could, why he
should not be punished. II found
guilty the punishment was inflicted
on the spot. The general impression
was that in all cases OF Lynch law
the penalty was death This is
mistake. A writer who knew Col
onel Lynch we'll was assured by him
that he never willingly condemned a
criminal to capital punishment: that
prisoners were frequently let of with
a severe logging and then liberated
on condition that they would leave
the country.
