That band of 'sanctified'' free lovers
down at Chincoteague is not composed
of native Virginians, but is made up of
Delawareans. The ''sanctified'i are
very disgusting people, and if Gov.
O'Ferrall could use the state troops to
drive the Coxeyites out of our borders,
he would be amply justified in sending
a regiment to Chincoteague to expel
these dirty wretches from the State.

Mob YiNlancn.

We concur with the IndeG- appeal
that ''the South will have to put down
mob violence and to punish evil doors
primarily because it is right and just
that lawbreakers should suffer the pen
city of their crimes, and secondly be
cause every such disturbance does in
calculable harm to this section. 1t
matters not how many lynchings there
may be in Dakota, Ohio, New York or
Illinois, our responsibility and duty
are the same. We cannot extenuate
the frequency of such crimes in our
midst by pointing out that Western
and northern communities are similar
ly culpable at times. There is no
reason in such contention.
There is an adage as wise as it is
homely which teaches that dog that
is once given bad name will be always
under suspicion. We have an illustra-
ton of il ne tt~I day or two. Six
negroes were brutally murdered in
Tennessee by s. mob OF white despera-
does. The Northern press gave the
news with flaming headlines and
scorehing editorial comment. A day
or two afterwards, several negroes were
shot in Georgia-among them a
preacher who was acting as Liberian
promoter. The Northern newspapers
promptly credited the South with
another massacre and held up the
Georgia planters to execration. Yet
this was altogether a negro affair, and
white msn were in no way involved.
Every Southern Governor should
take. prompt action to punish such
violence as sternly as the law will per
init. Then the South will flourish as
it has never done before; a great
burden will be lifted from this section,
and it will no longer he handicapped,
as it is now. by the acts of lawless and
IRRESPONSIBLE men y

Democratic Prospects Encouraging.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg Iade1-Appeal, referring to
the meeting of the Democratic State
Committee, says that Chairman Ely
son and the other leaders are very much
pleased with the reports made. They
were more encouraging than was ex-
pected. With the exception of one or
two localities, the party is in better
fighting trim than it was this time last
year. The weak points have been dis
covered and particular attention will
be given to them. The revival of
business is having the effect of restor-
ing much of the confidence that was
lost in the Democratic party during
the year OF depression just passed.
Chairman Ellyson is now ready to
open the canvass in every part of the
state, and from now until election day
he will work day and night for the
success of his party.

FIRE LEAPED MILE.-A Pine City,
Mimi, special in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat says: A party o Hinckley
people, consisting of Mr.. NJ L. Else
more. of the Brennan Lumber compa-
ny; Professor Collins, of the Hinckley
schools. and others, were fishing at
Grindstone Lake. They were out in a
skiff, but were warned of the approach
of the fire by the noise, which was like
that of cyclone They ran into the
shore at the southwest end of the lake
and warned lot of settlers who were
back in the woods, getting together a
party of about eighteen down by the
lake. The fire struck the lake at their
end, ran along the shore about half a
mile and then jumped the lake in a
diagonal direction at point where it
was not less than mile across.
Mr.. Elsemore says the fire went
across that distance in two bursts of
flame, with lightning rapidity. This
illustrates as we'll as anything the way
in which the fire progressed. At the
other end of the lake was a lumber
camp, where the men had a batteau.
Between twenty and thirty settlers
were rescued in this boat.
