sympathy for those of their race who
commit such crimes rs cause lynch

that direction and create and encou >

timent against the crime, but In the
meantime they ask that all such vio-
lators of law be tried In the regular
way. That IL OF course right and
proper and tho only lawful way to deal
with any criminal, for II you once en-
courage mob law it may lead to the OK
ercise of 1t on all occasions, and finally
to no law at all. But In the fuce OF
this tho man, be ho white or black,
who criminally assaults our wives and
daughters may expect speedy and con-
dign punishment, for he takes posi-
tlon below tho human scale and be-
cause we mean to lot it be known thut

crimes. Let the preachers remember
this and teach It TO their people. Let
them, rs they say they will, stop the
commission of tho crime which results
In mob violence, and mob violence will

Judge Simonton has decided the

seem that bottles Of whiskcy may be
packed In box car in saw dust, and
shipped and considered original pack

We may expect to SEQ these original

So Mr.. Mayficld has dropped out Of
the Senatorial contest. The wonder is
he did not drop out before this. He
makes fairly good speeches, and his
position is correct on the dispensary
question, but he can do moro good in
the State Senate where he now is, to
carry out those views than he can in
the United States Senate. Hc should
have taken this position and pushed it
before the courts knocked the dispen-
sury out.
