Black Wade Hampton Had Stealcd
Hut Allowcl Nobody to Call
Him Liar.
From uhc Atlanta journal.

-,
'"''' '''' ''''"I''' '"'I"'''
Onc Of The ioiiic,t raorta'~ in
Atlanta today is Wade Hampton,
the onc-|cgGcd Negro who is
sentenced to hang November 9th
FOR The murder of Georgc,Lofton,
Il fellow prisoner at the stockadc,
where he was IN custody at the
time of the tragedy.
Hampton is the coolest in.
dividual who ever occupied 4
murGcrcr's cell in the county Jail
expecting to he hanged. He
said thiS morning:
~ would like to get new trial
if can. but if | can't, let 'cr 90.
There's no use cry ing over some
thing you can't help. Hanging
me WON'T bring the other Negro
back to life. I'm glad ! done
him mp, and if meet him after
| die II cut him again
When asked if he cnjovcd cut
ting p9oplc and how he got the
knife with which he cut n fellow
prisoner while on trial for murder
he replied:
81 don t exactly like tocut peo-
pie, but III do it mighty quick If
they do me wrong. Now, that
niggcr in the court room called
me Il liar. | don't allow nobody
to do that. have stealed but |
never yet told no lie on nobody.
When that fellow called me liar
l asked a halIlf to lend me his
knife to sharpen pencil. When
got 1t L tried to sharpen that
nigger instead. | wouldn't mind
doing up another one before die,
but | wouldn't harm nobody un-
less they bothered me.
GA preacher named Stevens
was down here to see ME and left
me this little book. I believe he
said 1T was Bible. He was
kinder nice chap, but he tired me
with a talk. L can't read much,
and if | did this amt my style,
but rather than hurt his feelings
| took it OF course | amt
stuck on getting hung, but if they
think it's going make me feel bad
they're mistaken. Its one way of
| getting out, anyway
1t Is very apparent that Hamp-
ton talks the way he feels. He
does not appear to be talking just
for effect, but impresscs one that
he really does not care what hap
pens to him, and that death has
n" tcrrors.
Wade Hampton will be one of
the toughest Negroes that ever
swung. lie is 10 years old and
has been stealing ever since his
hands were large enough to grasp
things that belonged to Others.

PROHIBITION ~ CANADA.

Our Cousins across the border are within
measurable distance Of one of the greatest ex-
perlments ever made in sumptuary legislation
and are actually making gigantic experiment
in one of the fundamental doctrines OF Social
ism They ore to vote tomorrow all over the
Dominion on the question Of total prohibition
of the liGuor traffic. If they decide in favor OF
Prohibition. as nearly all observers believe they
will. il will be Prohibition in the uttermost
sense of the term. Not only will the whskey'
for the excellence and abundance OF which
Canada is noted be put under the ban. but so
will all wines and ales. and even cider and
perry. II will be unlawful to make them or
sell them or possess them, or even TO carry
flask across the border in your valise. II Will
be- in brief, an application Of the Maine law
in It's strlctest Interpretation, not only TO city
or to state, but TO n whole great nation. Inc
experiment has never been made on such "A
scale before.
We have said that It seems probable the vote
will be In favor of Prohibition. A particularly
vigorous campaign has been waged on that
side. while on the other there has been gen
cral apathy or a cynical resignation 10 the In
evItable Party lines have been ignored and
Liberals and Conservatives have worked side
ZIONIST organizations have been most active,
flooding the country with campaign literature
and making a house-tO-houSc canvass through
out great part of the Dominion. The frotes-
tant clergy with few noteworthy exceptions.
have earnestly espoused the same side. and
the Roman Catholic clergy have also largely
favored IT, though they have have left their
parishloncrs free 10 vote according 10 the die
tates OF their own conscences and Judgment.
Whatever the verdict AZ the polls. II Will be
n great experiment In practical Socialism. for
il will be an application Of that Initiative
system so dear 10 the Socialist heart. In voting
for Prohibition the people will not actually es-
tabliSh Prohibition. They VIII merely express
their desire for H. and give 10 the Government
of the day a popular mandate for It's enact
mcnt In principle. and according 10 la prom
ises the Government will be- bound NJ tho EARL.
est opportunity 10 enact and rgdy 10 enforce
such law as we have described. Practically.
however the Government may do no such
thing. and there are many shrewd observers
who confidently predict that It Will not. II will
not be difficult TO discover constitutional, or
administrative or other reasons for delay. and
for postponng action until after the next gen
eral election. In granting this plcbisc'um the
Liberal Government has ingratlnted itself with
the Prohlbltionists. II on any plausible pre-
text II can postpone action and yet keep them
convinced Of It's sincerity II may secure their
support at the next general election. and thus
greatly increase it's own chances OF being re-
tanned in power.
