TIE COUNTRY EDITOR.

The country editor must be un.
ceasing in his efforts to secure news
and extend the circulation of his
paper; and he will find that he will
be the more successful if in public
matters he voices only the senti~
ment of the people, and keeps his
own opinion to himself. In small
towns, where much jealousy exists
and his constituency is limited it is
not safe for him to take side in per.
sonal matters, as can the editors of
the city papers. He should en-,
deavOr to give all the news and, at
the same time, speak as well of all
persons as possible; and when it IS
impossible to speak we'll of one, it
is better to say nothing but give
the bare facts in the case. 1t is
much better to make a friend than
an enemy. Every man, no matter
how degraded, has some friends;
and if he offends person, the in-
fuence of that person and his
friends will be against his paper
to the injury of his business. If
people have battles to fight, let
them fight them out themselves.
Every statement made in the paper
must be well weighed, aud the ed
itor should know that it is positive.
ly correct, but having made state
ment, he should be willing at all
times to stand by it.-Perry Co.

PROMPT ENFORCEMENT OF
THE LAW.

As Hon. T. Dabney Marshall, OF
Vieksburg, has a number of friends
and acquaintances In Poplaryille,
We copy the following comments
from his home paper, the Vicks-
burg Post of the 18th:
On last Friday, August 8, T.
Dabney Marshall, Robert Fox and
Harry Coleman, of this city, killed
r. T. Dinklns at the depot station
one mile this side of Brandon, un-
der circumstances that rendered the
deed one of the most terrible in
the annals of crime. The particu'
lars sent out in regard to the kill
ing were of a nature that awaken
ed sympathy for the victim, and
aroused a feeling of hostility toward
the perpetrators. This was espec'
tally the condition outside of Vicks-
burg. In this city, where the aca
cused resided and we're greatly ese
teemed, the public were waiting for
the developments of the trial, be-
fore expressing approval or con-
demnation.
1t so happened that the Circuit
Court of Rankin county, where the
killing occurred, began its regular
term on the Monday following the
killing. The grand jury promptly
found indictments Of murder
against .Messrs. Marshall, Fox and
Coleman, and it was expected that
a loug and sensational trial would
ensue, The defense bad employs
ed an array of the leading lawyers
of the State, and the prosecution
was strengthened by the addition
of eminent paid counsel.
To the surprise of this commun-
ity the accused young men this
morning plead guilty to the indict.
ment, and the trial was ended by
the jury sentencing each of them
to Imprisonment IN the Penitens
tiary for life. The terrible killing,
the indictment, the plea, and the
sentence, all occurred within six
days.
The accused had the benefit of
the ablest counsel, perhaps, in the
South, and the plea of guilty was
made on the advice of their coun~
sci. The friends of the untortun-
ate young men, can only conclude,
that the circumstances connected
with the killing, rendered a trial
unwise, and the plea of guilty with
the understanding that the punish
ment should be imprisonment for
life) was the best thing that could
be done for them.
It has been the custom in some
quarters. to deride law in Mississ
sippl, and to claim that it is not en-
forced against persons of wealth or
influence. The case just ended
these assertions. 1t is a
fact that in Mississippi, whenever a
thorough prosecution is made, no
man gets immunity from punish
ment unless the law and the evil
deuce justifes it.
There is great regret and pros
found sorrow for the young men,
whom Fate has 80 harshly dealt
with. But the law has been vindi-
Gated, and they have received the
lightest sentence which their own
pleas allowed the jury to impose.

SPOKANE ESCAPES FOILED.
Intellectual Attempt. of Five
Prisoners to Break
From Jail.
Held at Bay by the Jaller After
Having Cut Through
the Bars.

SPOKANE, WASH, Aug. 12.-Five des-
perate criminals made well-planned but
Intellectual attempt to escape from the new
County Jail last night.
The new jail has just been completed at
great cost and was supposed to be extra
strong. 1t is only about two weeks since
the prisoners were moved in there, and
last night with an improvised saw made
from an old caseknife they easily sawed
through three OF the bars and gained adj
mission to the outer corridor. Here they
expected to take the jaiier unawares and
bind him, secure his keys and escape. He
was called to the further end OF the cor
rldor bv prisoner who claimed to be sick.
He noticed the shadow of some one NOV.
ing afdgrDok shot at it. He then discoV-
cred that five of the men were in the cor
ridor, but held them at bay with his gun
until help arrived.
The caseknife with which the prisoners
cut through the bars proves that the new
cages are of no account. The prisoners
claim that if the County Commissioners
will give them permission, in their pres
ence, they will walk through two iron
doors in two hours.
