death in our midst. The husband
and father of another family has beer
removed. Another home has beer
broken. Its support, love and com
partnership have forever been destroy
ed. The law of God has been disre
garded, thus bringing to our people
another cause for sorrow, shame and
humiliation.
What caused this death? Was |,
disease, which has recently and sud-
denly entered so many of our homes
and taken away our loved ones, and
which still tarries waiting for others
No. Was it by accident that this
strong man was suddenly numbered
among the deadp No. Was ii
storm, lightning or earthquake which
claimed another victim? No. What
and whence this Destroyer 1t was
man or men whose hearts are full OF
evil, whose lives are dominated by
passions displeasing to God and des-
tructive of the life, prosperity and
happiness of Others, The doer of this
deed is public enemy. Man was
not made for base, ignoble deeds. He
was made in the image of God and
endowed with such powers as will en-
able him TO live an upright, pure and
honorable life, dwelling in peace and
love with God AID man. Strange it
is that man would make that choice
which sewers such companionship,
brings such dishonor and reproach
and consigns him to torment in this
world and in the next, unless redeem
ed by the grace of God through faith
in the Christ.
The investigation of the killing of
of James Cockrom is now in progress.
from the confession made by
one who says he did the shooting, a
had been formed to muir
der Mr.. Cockrom. Five men are now
under arrest for completely in the
crime. If any of these men are inno-
cent we feel assured that their inno-
,ence can and will be established If
'uch conspiracy was formed and ex-
,cuted we claim and insist that their
rhine should and shall be avenged by
lue process of law, acting through
constituted officials who are the
Ivengers of our people. We believe
hat the guilty should be put to death.
The judgment of God has been
argely perverted by the DEGREES Of
men. The death of a murderer should
,e the only atonement for his crime.
We take no pleasure in the death of
my man. Our sympathy goes out to
he man who is so unfortunate as to
ave killed any human being. We
would have him repent Of his sin that
lis soul may be saved. There have
een so many killings in our county
nd State that the time has come for
ur people to seriously consider the
ituation. A public sentiment should
g created in harmony with the divine
7ill and which will lead to a proper
ppreciation of human life and the OBJ
cation imposed upon society to
venge murder. The plea of self-de- {
.nse has been made the scape-goat of !
lany killings, believed to be dark, /
aiming and murderous. We are I
isposed to think that the jugglery
nd craftiness and delay practiced in 9
ANY of our courts is largely respon- b
BILE for the murderous spirit which S
abroad in the land. n
We ask the citizens qualified to r
rye as jurors to remember that they

0are1e correspondent of the Enquirer,

eJVZn his reports than facts justify. For
instance in last weeks report of the
killing of James Cockrom he said,
sCockrom's friends were furious and
Haywood may be lynched." That
there we're any indications of lynch
ing we neve heard a sound and it
occurs to US the correspondent makes
play with sensational language to
the detr'ment of our city. We
have had quite enough of mobs here
and from the scare some, tynchers

fsshis kind will be resorted to again at
any early date.
Mt Sterling is as free from murd-
ers and lynchings as orr sister cities

strangers would be made to believe
our city is composed of unciVilized
marderous highwaymen rather than
as she is of the best and most tho
rough business men OF the South.

You may never have been, but if yon cross the Atlantic, no matter how smooth the watery expanse. without sea sickness you are-well, lucky yoyager, that is all. Old fars who have spent their lives on the ocean waves, rho were almost born, so to speak, with their .sea legs on, suffer now and then from sea sickness in very tempestuous weather. Sea captains. tourists, commercial travellers and yaehtmen say that there is no finer safeguard against nausea than Hostet- ters Stomach Bitters, and 1t has been equally reliable as a preventive by invaiids who travel by steamboat and railroad, and who sometimes suffer as much in these convey ances as ocean travellers do in steamships. BiIlionsness. constipation, sick headache and disorders of the stomach caused by oppressive climatic influences or uEwholesome or unac- oustomed food or water, always yield to the Bitters speedily. This popular medicine also remedies rheumatic. kidney and nervous disorders. and the inhrmities incident to in ereasing years.

Prescott is not especially a '.gay town," but occasionally some of its people can give cards and spades to the gayest of the Midway Plaisance and still win in the game. Yesterday, one of it's ''gay" ones, demure, petite little blonde, entered one of the lead ing banks, and, carefully filing out 8 check, presented it to the cashier, re- ceiving 2 handsome roll of notes in re- turn. After methodically counting the notes, the demure and petite little one daintily raised her neat-Atting skirt and deposited the cash in her stocking securely fastening the treasnre with in with neat gold-buckled garter
 before the startled cashier, who is a most modest young man, could even ejaculate his remonstrance. Whether it was the neatly filled stocking or the cool audacity of the act, the modest cashier was so completely hypnotized that it took the combined efforts of two waiting customers to awaken him from his apparent trance and recall him back to the prosaic things of earth again, while the blonde who was responsible for it all; tripped out as demurely as. if such things were of daily occurrence.-[Prescott Courier.
