THE GREENWOOD MURDER

The Register does Greenwood grave injus

In one editorial paragraph IT says:

Here the Register is In error again. We do

Don't Trim Postal Cards.

II Is ruled by the postal authorities that
any reduction of the size of postal card by
clipping rounding off the corners, or other
wise, will subject the receiver Of the card 10 a
charge Of one cent on delivery, This makes
the cost of postal card equivalent to letter
postage. Many persons Enclose postal cards 70
correspond den Is In envelopes too small, and
imagine that little clipping will not make
any difference. Others round off the corners
for ornamental purposes or convenience IN
handling.

A Lawyer Who Foolishly Gave the Snal
 Away.

From the Indianapolis Sentinel: MT. James Hyde. once a lawyer in a small town on Long Island tells a good story about himself. He says:
 Ut was when fused to practice law in n little town near the center of the state 4 farmer had one of his neigbors arrest ed for stealing ducks. and I was en- ployed by the accused to endeavor to convince the court that such was not the case. The plaintiff was positive that his neighbor was guilty, because he had seen the ducks in the defendants yard
 '" How do you know they are your ducks? I asked.
 |" Oh, ] should know my own ducks anywhere! replied the farmer, and he gave a description of their various pecu- liarities whereby he could readily dis tingush them from others.
 |" Why said I, those ducks cant be of such rare breedr I have seen some just like them in my own yard.
 That's not at all unlikely replied the farmer, for they are not the only ducks I have had stolen lately.

 Little did we think years ago when Dr. Holloway, our great southern specialist, located in BirmiDgh ham and modestly an- nounced through the columns of the Her ald that he would treat only special class Of diseases that he would ever achieve an international reputation. To our personal knowledge from across the ocean, in far away England, they have learned of his skill and fame and consult him. We be- lieye with the doctor that truth, merit and honor always win. He stands at the head "a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author ity in the treatment of all private diseases. Birmingham may well be proud of him.
 Birmingham Daily News.l No specialist in the south is more fa- miliar with the treatment of private troubles than Dr. Y. E. Holloway. Dur ing his long residence in this city he, has successfully treated many thousands of pa- tients suffering with private troubles of every conceivable form. Thie great expe- rience, together with his skill and ability, not only places the doctor at the head of his profession in such matters, but is @ guarantee to all that place themselves un- der his care that they will receive the best treatment possible to be obtained.

 We have a great specialist in Alabama. In point of ability he is second to none, and has been longer In Birmingham than any specialist there. t'Truth, merit and honor always win,' and in that line Dr. Holloway stands in the front rank.

 Brethren: The object of our meeting this morning is to each and all of us most solemn The approach of death is at any time sad and solemn, but when he comes so very near to us and takes one from our profession. then indeed is the occasion one of solemnity. Our city had been chartered not many months when one of our number was taken, as death invaded our ranks and took Robert Henley from among us. He was lawyer of considerable note and the first mayor of our city. In few short years, in 1874, w. W. Moore fell a victim to that fell disease. consumption. They were both young men, and seemingly had a long life ahead of them; but He who doeth all things we'll had decreed other wise These young members of our bar, the vanguard across the dark and silent river, were soon joined by the, at the time, oldest member of our bar, the Hon. William S. Earnest. who had passed his three score and ten years.

AN IMPORTANT STEP.
A Southern Association Being Formed at Chi cago-The Object Is to Attract Cap
 ital and Immigration.

Chicago. May 2S.-The Chicago Southl ern association is being formed at a meeting in progress at the Auditorium hotel today. The meeting is the out growth of a call issued some time ago by number of men interested in south ern immigration The object of the pro- posed association, as stated in the call is to develop the resources of the south The members of the new association are to be railroad officials of southern lines. or slines leading south from Chicago land owners in the south and represent atiyes of companies from the business in the south. It's object shall be to in terest capitalists and immigrants to look southward. It is proposed that central offices shall be maintained at Chicago where complete library concerning every state, railroad and industry of the south shall be established, with care fully compiled official reports of the va rlouS counties of each state, cuts of everything pertaining to southern in- dustry, industrial papers, magazines, etc.
 The meeting was called to order by c. l.. Stone. general passenger agent of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad. MT Stone said the meeting was open to suggestions from any one present. Rev John Rusk, president of the Socciety for the Preventing of Crime, made a speech in which he painted the advantages of the south in glowing terms. Other speakers followed. Among the promi- nent men present were the following: c. c. Walton of the Central Railroad of Georgia; E. B. Sabin, Florida immigra- tion commissioner; Briard B. Hill, north ern passenger agent of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway: ]. A. Anders. general western passenger agent of the South Carolina and Geor- gia; G. E.

bitrary and compulsory issues of notes and afford the people an opportunity to supply their own currency based upon their own means and credit, thus ena- bling every community to utilize its own resources when necessary and adJuSt the circulation from time to time to the act ual demands of legitimate commerce. In what way this shall be accomplished is a question which has already engaged the serious attention of the people and public authorities, and it will no doubt continue to be investigated and discussed until a plan is formulated which, if not perfect, will at least have the merit of being a great improvement upon the ex- isting system
 In the meantime our highest duty is td preserve the present standard of value, maintain the parity of the two metals, and keep all the money in circulation among the people, whether it be gold and silver coins, or paper based upon them, equal in purchasing power, so that no discrimination will or can be made be- tween those who receive silver or paper and those who receive gold. A great government should do nothing to dis credit its own obligations or diminish the value of the money in the hands of it's citizens, nor should the people of great country ever consent to the adop tion of a policy, through experimental financial legislation or otherwise, which would vitiate the obligations of their contracts, interrupt the regular course of their business and destroy the foun- dations upon which their industrial and commercial systems have been con structed. The spirit of conservatism is still strong among our people, and, not withstanding the delusive promises and selfish appeals that are now largely in- fluencing their opinions in some parts of the country, the truth will ultimately pre- vail and I have no doubt of the result when the time for final action comes.
 Gentlemen, thank you for your po- lite attention and the opportunity you have given me to say something upon this great subject to an audience of southern men. We are all Americans, all citizens of the same great republic, and while it endures the fortunes of the north south east and west will be bound indissolubly together. There can be no antagonistic interest, no prosperity in one section at the expehse of another, but we must all stand or fall together. So believing, l have spoken to you to- day without reservation or exaggeration in behalf of that policy which, in my Judgment, will most certainly promote the welfare and preserve the honor and the credit of our whole country
