POWER IN SCOTCH LAKES.
Il IL Proposed to Drain one Loeb Inta
Another One Thousand One Hun.
dreI Feet Below Il.

There have been numerous chimer-
ical schemes advanced from time to time
by land rcforlners for the practical
utilization of the deer forests and waste
lands OF the Scottish highlands. but,
curiously enough, one never heard Of
any practical plan to turn the water of
the Highland lochs to practical account
until scheme Of this nature IL within
measurable distance OF actual accom-
plishmsnt. Parliamentary powers
granting permission to utilize the water
of Loeb Ericht, in Perthshire, and con-
vey 1t to Loeb Leven, in Argyllshire, are
to b asked In the coming session, says
tho Sketch. The abundance Of water
power In America and Germany for
generating electricity at cheap rate
hes. " appears, adversely affected Brit
lsh chemical manufacturers, and the
proposed scheme, by which fall Of
1,10o feet atthe head Of Loeb Leven will
b obtained, will. 1t is expected, supply
power capable OF generating over 3d.
600 horse power. The scheme has,
moreover, occasioned, so it is asserted,
. postponement Of the project some
lsfrs chemical manufacturers had con.
esmplsted Of transferring their works
from this country to the United States.
Loeb Ericht covers nearly eight square
miles Of area, and contains very large
volume Of water. The diversion IL to Be
effected by means OF tunnels and open
aqueducts, and the power houses will
be situated near the head Of Loeb Leven,
which is nayigable at high tide by yes
sells drawing IA feet. When completed
new era may dawn for q district at
present sparsely inhabited, as it is pro-
posed to establish number Of factories
on the shores OF Loeb Lcven.

Lynching.

That every lover of the human race
deplores he remedy SO often employed
to avenge Il wrong is true, and all be-
lieve that every effort should he made
to lesson its nccurance, hut it ia also to
be deplored that legal remedy for
such conditions ls slow Of action, and
deserves tha serious consideration of
the legal minds; of this country.
There must ba % canse for this seem
ing disregard of law and human rights,
and one of the most potent reasons is
the sIowpess of law to bring the guilty
to Judgment.
Another misfortune is the fact that
we find in this country disposition on
the part of the public press to magnify
the lynchin0 Of negroes in the south.
That such disyracpful disregard of law
is too common IN the south is deplored
by every honorable man. hut is it not
a reliable fact That fur the same
CAUSES the same etf,art would he found
in the north? We must admit that
the general Grim" is the abuse of the
wives. sisters, or daughters of the
respectable white men Try negroes, and
the fact that 20 large 9 class in the
south are of tho color.d race who
v!OIat" both tho law of God and man
which accounts largely for tive number
of lynchlng in the sonth. We must
not forget that the wife, sister, daugh-
ter or mother of the southern man is
as dear to them as they are, fO the
nortlera man, that the same noble
aspiration of the human heart for
kindred ard friends is not confined
to sections or climate, hut is universal;
and further. that degroGation and dis
regard of christian training ia the mis-
fortune of circumstances, which &C
counts largely for the prep0nder hnce
of the criminal over the intellectual
in the negro in the south, which &C.
counts largely for the violation of law
in acts of awful import to the honor
and safety to the female portion of
that section, and would '5e the same in
the north under like circumstances.
It is not strange TO sind the mob
spirit rampant when one of these ter
rible outrayes have been committed,
nor is it strange that the atonement
for its pcrpertration is m eeted out to
the guilty in fire or rope or both
Let us, then, in spirit of fairness,
place ourselves in the Place of the
fathers, husbands and brothers of the
suffering ones i'm the south. and ask
ourselves if, under like circumstances,
we VIC uld not forget our duty as law
abiding citizens, and avenge the wrong
by fire and sword if necessary? Let
us forget that WIS are sometimes desi
grated by sections of north and south,
but remember we ara all members of
common country, governed by COM
mon law and resting under the same
flag from ocean TO ocean, and from the
cold and frigid north to the sunny
plains of the south, one country, one
flag and one destroy, and while deplOr-
ing the mob spirit every where, yet fair
enough to forget the imaginary Mason
and Dickson line and render unto all q
fair judgment.

We publish an advertisement of
kodol Dyspepsia Cure in our columns
this issue. AMI wish to say to our pa.
irons that we believe this preparation
is worthy of trial by any person suf-
fering from this agonizing complaint.
We honestly believe this preparation
will do for you all the manufacturers
claim for it.
Kodol Dyspepsia cure is prepared
by the we'll known and reliable firm of
E. Q. Dewitt & Co., Chicago, and from
our long experience in a business sense,
with this firm as advertisers, we feel
safe in saying that they would not
place OH the market q cure for dyspep-
STA unless they had remedy of the
highest merit, and conscientiously be-
lieved it would cure this we'll known
and almost universal complaint.
We fnrthur add that if this prepare
ton is equal to the other we'll known
remedies, which they make, viz:-
DeWitt's Little Early Risers, De-
Wits Witch Hazel salve, and One
Minute Cough cure, it will speedily
win its way into public favor.
We cheerfully and heartily give our
personal endorsement to this concern,
and the reliability of the goods they
manufacture, which have been largely
the means of their success, and in
writing this voluntary endorsement on
our part, we feel that we are simply
performing duty which we owe to
our patrons.

A GIGANTIC scheme is on foot to
buy up the vast timber and mineral
lands throughout West Virginia and
eastern Tennessee and build railroads
to all the principal points to open
them up to trade. There are millions
of dollars interested in the project.
There are thousands of acres of the
richest lands in the world lying idle
in that section because of the lack of
railroad facilities.

Among some of our mail TODAY,

never overlook an opportunity
like this to help advertise your

late now to send any contribution
of goods for display. We see the
association will meet in your city
in June, AID expect cssh dis
tribution now will still be in time,
and we take pleasure in enclosing
our check for $1,000. The writer
of this feels very badly about it
that this mistake should have oc-
Cured that the letter did not get
proper attentlOn, and this was not
found out until today, and he him
self having charge of the mail
that comes in and looking to see
that it is answered is altogether
the mistake of the boy (who
looks after the letters in handing
them to him). 1 have to apologize
for any apparent neglect, and will
further say that you never need

can do you any good in any way
