ORIGIN OF LYNCH LAW.
1t Began In Virginia and Was Neither Vic.
lent Nor Mobilize

LII began In virginia ana W as Neither tlO-
lent Nor Noblille.
Lynch law had its origin in Virginia,
according to the conclusions of a gen.
tlaman who has been investigating the
early history of that state. It was not
mob law, as it is now-understood. 1t
was orderly, methodical and fair in it's
processes and was strongly opposed te
violence or mob rule. It's distinctive
feature was simply that its DEGREES and
findings were executed sternly and
swiftly upon the spot OF their delivery.
Charles Lynch, whose name is asso-
ciated with the summary proceedings
now known as acts of Lynch law, y
was a Revolutionary soldier and after
the war ended took up bis residence in
Pittsylvania county. The region in
which he lived became at one period Of
the Revolution infested by bands of
Tories and outlaws, whose depredations
upon the defenseiess people extended
from the lower parts Of North Carolina
and Virginia to the passes Of the Blue
Ridge and the headwaters of the
James and other mountain streams.
Deserters from both armies added
strength and semblance of organization
to their operations. Wherever they ap-
peared the terror stricken inhabitants
were plundered, harassed and merci-
lessly subjected to. every variety of in
suit and outrage. A remedy was need
ed f. +',is insufferable state of things,
rene ay that should at once strike
such terror to these miscreants as
would relieve community already suf-
fering from the effects of hostile inva-
sion. Colonel Lynch was the man to
! take the lead in such an emergency.
| He succeeded in organizing body of
| patriotic citizens, men of known char
| acter and standing.
Having laid his plans before them
and securing their approval, he at once
proceeded to put them into execution.
At the head of his followers he prompt
| ly got upon the track Of the unsuspect-
ing enemy, captured many and caused
the others to flee from the country.
When any of these outlaws fell into
his hands, they were not taken at once
to tree and hanged Or tied to stake
and shot, as is now done under the per-
verified system of the present day. This.
was not according to the code of Colo
mel Lynch and his followers.
So far from such a lawless procedure
jury was selected from Lynch men,
over which he presided as judge. The
captives were tried separately, the ac-
cused allowed to make his own defense
and to show cause, if he could, why he
Should not be punished. It found
guilty, the punishment was inflicted on
the spot. The general impression has
been that in all cases of lynch law the
penalty was death. This is mistake.

was assured by him that he never will

DON'T Blame the Girls.

There has been a deal of worrying
about the fact that the young women
of this country prefer single to married
life, but perhaps the dear girls are not
SO much to blame after all. There are
3, 900, 600 men over 80 years of age in the
United States who have never married.
and, as man proposes, the preference Of
so many men for bachelor life has much
10 do with the number Of single women.

A number of men paid their money

Those who were acquainted with the
indolent habits of the bear said moth

He was covered with blood, and it was

"Symmes, Hole"

Probably the oldest idea ever for a
moment entertained by scientist was
that Of John Cleves Symmes concerning
globe. Symmes was a jurist, a scien-
tist--or, as the French would say, a
"savant' of international reputation,
an explorer ION his own hook" and an
all round man of letters, yet one would
think that some Of his ideas must have
originated with the king of Bedlam.
He believed, and lectured before learned
college'societies in support Of his views,
that the earth consists of from five to
seven hollow concentric spheres, and
that at the poles there is a round open
ing entirely through each of the several
spheres.
According to this queer theory these
spheres are placed one inside the other,
like a nest of crockery ware, with an
open space Of few hundred miles be-
tween each. Furthermore, he believed
that both the outside and the inside of
each of these bubbIelike spheres are in
habited, which would give not less than
10 and probably IA 'theaters of action
instead of the one habitable surface
with which we are all acquainted to
greater or lesser degree. Symmes lived
for many years near Newport, Ky.-St.

Women as Farmers.
California boasts of number of wom-
en- farmers who manage large estates,
make money and keep healthy and hap
py. The comforts of farm life here are
greater than they are in the east, and
there is possibility of gaining more
than mere living. Some of the wom-
en- farmers have won more than mere
local fame. Mrs. Theodosia Shepherd
of Ventura is known in the east as a
cultivator Of California flower seeds and
bulbs. Mrs. Strong is known far and
wide as the woman who makes good
income by raising and selling pampas
grass. Mrs. E. P. Buckingham of Va
caville is an orchardist whose fruit
commands the highest price in eastern
markets.
Another successful agriculturist is
Mrs. Georgia Mcbride. A dozen years
ago she was an invalid, a widow, poor,
with four boys to bring up. She knew
nothing of fruit raising, but with fem
mime recklessness she purchased IS acres
of land near San Jose and set it out as
an orchard. Now she is prosperous,
healthy and wealthy. as the wage earn
ers 20, and an enthusiastic advocate OF
farming for women.-San Francisco
