A, Timely Confession

JEFFERSON, GA, Sept. 4.-The ex-
ecution of Grady Reynolds and Bud
Brooks, murderers of McHunt in Jack
son County, was interrupted today by
the Governor, respiting Brooks for four
weeks upon the confession of Reynolds
that he, single-handed, committed the

shared in the proceeds. AS the brothers
of the murdered man asked that both
hang together, Reynolds execution was
also deferred.

MARCH RECEIPTS.

The United States Treasury did well last
month. The expenditures were far below
the receipts, or, rather, the receipts were
far above the expenditures. The foolish
theory has been raised that this has some
thing to do with the ethics of the tariff
question, one way or another. We cannot
see it In that light. The sudden increase
in receipts was due, rather, to the fear felt
by importers that higher rate Of duty
would soon have to be paid by them. So
they made il point to hustle their goods
out of the bonded warehouses. This in
creased, of course, the revenue receipts,
and made an apparent change in trade
conditions. These merchants had given
orders for goods that would require con-
siderable alteration under new tariff law,
hence they sought to withdraw the goods
from bond as soon as possible. The ques-
tion was rather OF choice than Of guam
tity.
The March receipts amounted to s9,GO0,-
900 more than those Of March, 1896. Next
month the receipts will probably resume
thier normal condition.

CONGRESS TO THE RESCUE.

Congress did the best thing under the
circumstances when 1t voted to assist the
Mississippi food sufferers. There has
been no season in our history since the
Johnstown food when sympathy and aid
were 90 much needed. The rise of the
river has been remarkable one, the most
disastrous in the history OF the valley.
Houses by the hundred have been swept
.way, stock exterminated, land cut away
and demolished and lives lost. It Is hardly
humane to say, as did q Providence paper
recently, that the victims have only them
selves TO blame, inasmuch ~ They have
iocated on the banks Of Q river known to
no subject TO ovcrfiows. Providence has
not provided all of us with comfortable
and safe homes. The settlers along the
hanks OF the Mississippi are there, most
of them, from necessity rather than from
choice. They arc obliged to make the best
of their environment and when disaster
comes upon them they should not be held
up to ridicule and contempt. This Is poor
humanity and worse charity. 1t docs not
abate q jot Of their suffering nor lessen
one pang Of starvation.
Congress has shown public spirit. In
rushing through the Cstchings resolu.
tiop II evinced a spirit of charity and a
vein Of humanitarianism that must do
much TO soften the amenities stirred up by
political and social differences. Presiden,
Mckinley, in promptly and earnestly ap.
pealing to Congress for aid for the suffer.
ers, hes also shown himself TO be a man o.
public instinct. On the whole we ar
proud Of our public men and the one silve

nifty TO learn what our public men woul'
do In Q calamitous emergency.

OLD MONITORS FOX COAST DE.
FENSE.

TIE old monitors that have done good
servic3 in this country-eight OF them-are
now hsing considered as coast defenders.
They lie at present at the League Island
Navy Yard in Philadelphia. The PROPOSE
tior mas been made to equip each Of them
with t5-inch dynamite guns, like those
now ia use in Sandy Hook and San Fran
cisco.
IT, navy department has conducted
thee negotiations In the quietest possible
manner and the scheme has but recently
beccie known. 1t will be pushed forward
As fast as the department is able.
In brief, it is planned to establish these
old but still useful monitors at the exposed
port along our coast where, In the event
Of naval conflict with a foreign enemy,
they could be used with effect. Unlike the
Hon. John l.. Sullivan, these old vessels
have more than one good fight left in
them, and. in an emergency, could dc
efficient and terrible duty. 1t Is planned
to plt one 15-inch gun In each Of these
MOI tors.
TIE old vessels are still In fairly good
cond ition, although thirty-one years have
elapsed since they displayed their terrors
TO the Southern confederacy. We think
this IS the best use that can be made OF
them, and we hope the navy department
will push the matter.

tion to the amount of work performed the
mill operatives in the south, are as well
paid as are the textile employees of the
north. The weavers In some mills are paid
s1.20 per loom, which is a higher wage than
is paid in New England. The hours of
labor in the southern mills run from GO to
are closed because of dull times, and one
mill has $4,000 worth of cloth on hand.
He stated also that the north need not fear
