there was a rough bench, which had been

into the air. 1 woke TO find myself on the
ground, where l had rolled from the

right hip and, looking QUA into The open
space beyond the tents, I saw that the

like a whole menagerie had broke loose

Blanks folks made bouts much fuss

THE SOUTH AND HER INTERESTS,

In his speech at the second days session
of the Southern Industrial League Mr.. 5.
G. McLendon of Townsville gave the peo-
pie of the South something to think about.
The subject of his address was, Are We
euqal to our burden?" The conclusion
which he reached, If we understood him
correctly, was that we are, provided we do
our own thinking and cease following po-
litical adventurers, dreamers and theo-
rists who are constantly aiming TO pull
the South along lines which are contrary
to her interests.
In the course of his address he said:
Can we afford to harbor all the wild theo-
rles, sub-treasury bills and the like which
have been proposed for our enrichment by
act Of Congress? Have not our material
interests suffered by loss of time and ener-
gy on our part in chasing these small
rainbows of nluslve hope that rise ever
and anon above the political horizon? Is
it not time that we should take our lat-
tude and longitude, and ascertain where
we are on the high seas?'
The time has come for the South to do
her own thinking. Her people are as in
tellgcnt as those OF any olneF section ol
the country. She knows what she needs
for the development of her resources, the
promotion of her prosperity and the ad-
vancement of the happiness OF her people.
Let her go forward therefore feariessly
and persistently along the lines which she
believes will bring her the best results.
If she listens to outsiders who seek to use
her influence and power to promote their
political schemes or to the impracticable
| counsel of a few theorists among her own
people. the question as to whether she is
equal to her burden will often suggest il
self. The speeches which were delivered at
| the sessions of the Southern Industrial
League Will have a very beneficial effect
because they will set the people TO think

stammered something about a new road:

TIE TALLrLAH LYNCHINGs.

Gov. Foster of Louisiana has notified
the state department that three Of The
five slcilians Iynched al TaIulah in that
state were nauralzed citizens. He also
saws that the grand jury of the parish is
going to make a very thorough investiga-
ton Of the lyuchuss. and that the per
Detrators of the crimes VIII he vigorously
prosecuted.
We have no doubt that Gov. Foster is
very sincere in what ne says in respect to
a vigorous prosecution, but it will be
rather remarkable If indictments are
found against any Of those who particl-
pared in the lynchings. There is no doubt
that all of those who were active in lynch
ing the Sicilians are wen known to hun
dreds Of people. II will be difficult mat
ter however. to get anybody to go be
fore the grand jury and give evidence
against them.
It wouldn't be popular to be a witness
against the lynchers. The sicilians were
greatly disliked and the community was
glad TO be rid OF them. Some of them. ac-
cordng to their published records had
been guilty of crimes of one sort and an
other. and the man they shot in Tallulah,
DR. Hodge, was a popular and highly re-
spected citizen. The attack on DR.. Hodge
showed them 10 be desperadoes, who only
needed an opportunity TO take human life
Il is probable, however, that our gov
eminent will have to pay a small indem
nifty 10 the families Of the two who were
not citizens. That is what was done in
the case of the Sicilians who were shot to
death in the New Orleans jail at the time
Of the Malta troubles in that city. The
amount paid at that time was $4,000.
1t seems that the Italian government de
mands that the lynchers shall he vigor-
ousIy prosecuted. That demand is made
on the United States. The Italian govern
meut seems 10 have forgotten, since the
New Orleans cases, that the general gov
eminent Is just about as powerless 10
prosecute the Tallulah Iynchers as the au-
thorities of Italy are. The United States
viii Of course use their influence TO have
the lynchers brought to trial, but their in
huence VIII not avail much.
1t does seem as If the general govern
ment should be clothed with authority to
prosecute their citizens charged with com
hitting crimes against the citizens Of 9TH
er countries. They have to pay whatever
indemnity is awarded against this coun-
try for such crimes. Although they make
themselves responsible for The safety and
good treatment of foreigners on American
soil, they are without authority to arrest
| and prosecute their own citizens for Of
| lenses against foreigners.
Very little more will be heard of the
TalIulah case The lynchers will not be
molested and the United States following
precedent, will pay an indemnity to the
families of the two of the mob's victims
who were Italian citizens, unless it be
shown that they were guilty of a criminal
| act just before they were lynched,

WILL CORBIN's SERVICES BE NEED
Tsns


There is already considerable speeula-
ton as to whether Adjt Gen. C0rbin VIII
be- allowed TO cut as wide swath in the
war department under Secretary Root as
he did under Secretary A.ger. If reports
are to Doe relied upon he ran the war de-
partmont pretty much to suit himself
while Gen. Alger was az the head Of it and
it Is hinted that he has minated, through
friends. that if Secretary Root Will devote
himself to the law questions arising in the
department. he will answer for the mill
tary features.
We don't believe, of course, that he has
had any such message conveyed 20 secre-
tary Root, but we nave no doubt that he is
ready to take charge of all army matters,
and carry on the Philippine war along
lines which TO him seem to promise the
best results.
The country will be very much sur
prised however, If Secretary Root doesn't
take entire charge Of every phase of the
war departments affairs. He is man OF
ability and very self reliant. The chances
are therefore that instead of being pushed
into further prominence Cen Corbin will
be invited into the background. We are
not prepared to say that he is responsible
for many of the blunders and consequent
scandals of the war department since the
beginning Of the war with Spain, but it is
certain there are people who think the
war department would have got along bet
ter without his assistance

An Atlanta special in the New York
Herald Of Thursday, after raking through
Georgia and Alabama for crimes of .vio-
lence, the most Of which are attributed to
Georgia, closes with this sentence: PLY
sicians think the HOT weather has unbal-
anced the minds of people, and that il is
partially responsible for the outbreaks of
violence" The correspondent is evidently
one of the worst affected of the victims
of the heat. He has not Intelligence
enough left to distinguish between truth
and falsehood, and between justice and in
justice to his state. He doubles the num-
Der of persons lynched for the Safold out
rage, and records as facts lynchings
which never occurred. He takes two
weeks criminal record of two states, one
of which is the largest east of the Mis-
sissippi river, and arranges 1t so as to
create the impression that there is a car
nival of riot, murder, raplne and blood
shed raging throughout Georgia-which is
false. And why does he do this? 10 Sc
cure the space rates of five or six dollars
a column which the Herald pays for news
matter? Is it to be wondered at that the
Northern papers and people think US I'M
civilized barbarous, not far short OF
heather people when such stories are sent
out by correspondents who live among us
and are presumably of us? Atlanta CORE
spondents are VIGOROUSLY among the very
worst offenders against truth and justice
in dispatches to the North. Their whole
purpose seems to be 10 crab dollar, at
whatever cost to the good name Of The
state and its people There are rea-
sons for believing that the outrageous sto-
ries of the haying alive Of the negroes
Sammin and Mack, which never occurred,
originated in the brains of Atlanta CORE
spondents and were sent out from that
city under Bainbridge dates.
