he Wanted TO start Right

On one of the South Halstead street
cars when it left the ~neighborhood Of
the stock yards the other evening, was
a man with a brand new valise that
had splashes of mud on it and gave
other evidence of having just arrived
in Chicago, says the Chicago Tribune.
The man wore a black felt hat and
a large checked suit, and there was
mud enough on his heavy boots to
show he had just traversed a portion
of the stock yards. He boarded the
car at Thirty-ninth street, put his va
lise on the eat beside him, n when
the conductor stopped to take his fare
he pulled out a roll of bills.
The conductor extracted a nickel
from a one dollar bill and handed over
the change. The man with the valise
extracted a silver quarter dollar from
the change and handed it back to the
conductor.
Here" he said, SO loudly that every
one in the car looked to See what was
going on, here's a quarter for your
self"
I've taken out a Nickel said the
conductor, Il don't want any more"
Now, don't say another word,
friend" replied the passenger. MY
wife told me before I left Kansas City
I'd get along a good deal better in
Chicago if 1 tipped everybody, and I'm
going to start with you. You AXE the
quarter like a little man and do the
best you can by me on this trip, and
don't say anything more or I'll make il

Race for the Diamond Stakes.

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 22.-MacIver
won the diamond stakes at Oakley to-
day after a most exciting struggle with
Ed Farrell. This pair fought head and
head for the last eighth Of a mile to
the Wire, which they crossed noses
apart, the judges decision going to
MacIver, who was the favorite at even
money. Murphy, the jockey on Ed
Farrell, in attempting to get through
at the head of the stretch caused the
field to be messed about and nearly
every horse in the race was fouled. Ed
Farrell ran into Bannack Burn, who
was fast overtaking the others and
knocked him off his stride. He then
caught MacIver and a the latter to
a nose on the post but the judges dis
qualified Farrell and placed Bannack
Burn second. Murphy's ride on Far
rell was more like a western cowboy
tina anything else and he was warned
not to give another exhibition of the
sort under penalty of being set down
for life. MacIver's race today with 11S
pounds up shows him to be one of the
best -2-year old's in the west. He al
ready has three stakes to his credit.
The weather was fine and the track
fast.

They Do Good

(From the Madison Madisonian.)
But to our mind these frequent hang
ings in Georgia Of late suggest a more
healthy state of things. It suggests
very boldly that the law has been
tri1ed with, especially in criminal
cases so long that the time has come
for a reaction to set in in the minds of
the people and the judges on the bench.
Crime unpublished means a repetition
of crime. The time has been in Geor-
gia when the most fiendish criminals
were allowed to deter trial by some tri-
vial excuse or some slight tenchnicality
Of the wording of the aw. Now we hope
the time has come for this to stop. We
believe the recent hangings in Georgia
will have a wholesale effect upon the
morals of the state and tend to remove
the idea so many a " that any GRIM
inal may evade the law and punish
ment by procuring a sharp lawyer.
Technicalities are not to be condoned
in frustrating justice. If a man COM
mits crime. let him be justly and
promptly punished. Let justice be
lone though h heavens fall" Geor-
gia has had no undeserved hangings
lately, but there still linger in some Of
her jails UNPUBLISHED several fiendish
murderers who deserve the gallows. So
long as hanging crimes are committed,
so long should there be ~hangings. Raise
the regard for law by enforcement of
the law, and crime will be reduced.
Murder would become an obsolete
crime if men were made to NOW that
they were sure to receive prompt and
adequate punishment therefor.

act is unconstitutional the state might
be saved the Expense Of the election
1t was decided. however, that nothing
could be done. and State S~uperintend-
ent Mebane says the campaign will be
pushed and the election held just as If
no doubt had been expressed as to the
constitutiOnality of the act. The oun
ty commissioners of n county Ia

ed the call. Mr.. Mebane says he will

The board Of education Of Richmond
county, composed Of two white men and
one negro, has elected two egroe as
school committeeman in each of the
townships of the county. These negro
committeeman will have jurisdiction
over white schools and will have power
to say who shall, and who shall not,
teach in them. Doubtless, in many in
stances, it will be necessary for white
ladies to either apply to these men for
employment, or enlgrdte TO a county
whose politics are not controlled by
such men as the DOckeryS, Longs and
Smiths. 1t is truly a sad commentary
upon the d~egeneracy of the Anglo-Sax-
on race hat white men can so far for
get their mothers, wives, sisters and
children as to put negroes in authority
over them, and hat makes the matter
infinitely worse, this ~disgraceful thing
has been done simply to strengthen the
hold of the men who are responsible
for it p the negro vote of the coun-

Since coming to North Carolina DIR.
Kilgo has never lost an opportunity to
oppose state aid to higher education.
Ills attacks upon the university and

given his entire time and energies to
promoting n advancing the interests
of Trinity instead of waging a cease
less war pom the state institutions,
the college of which he is the honored
head would be more prosperous today.
1t is our humble opinion that the uni
versity has more friends in the state
today than it has had at any time in

strated by the last legislature, for in
stead of Withdrawing or killing the

fer with him must admire him for his
