EVER and anon the county court is
presented with the question of build
ing new court. house, and invari-
ably the result is the same. Some
magistrate moves that committee
be appointed to investigate the cost
of building, etc., then discussion
ensues, vote is taken, the motion
is downed, and thus the matter ends.
The same old court. house upon which
our sires were wont to gaze in their
youthful days still rears its ancient
head to-day, a mockery to the thrift
and progress of the fifth to the
wealthiest county in the State, and
the richest agricultural county. If
ever county needed new court
house, Maury is certainly that cOun-
ty; and it seems that the finances of
the county are in better shape now
than they have been in years to bear
the expense necessary to building
one. Let us hope that the magis-
trates will think over the matter
earnestly, consult the opinions OF
their constituents, and bring the
matter up again at the next term OF
court.

THOSE of our Northern brethren
who are so free in their denuncia ion
of Southern lynchings, should not
overlook the act of an Illinois mob
last week, which fred upon train
load Of dtfenseless negroes, killing
one regro woman and wounding a
number Of others. The HERALD
does not point to this fact in order to
vindicate the Southern lynchers; for
lawlessness is lawlessness, no matter
who commits it nor where 1t Is COM
mitted, and we have always con-
demned lynch law wherever it was
practiced. But our Northern breth-
rem sometime become so wrought up
over Southern lynchings and pulled
up in their self esteem that they
seem to think that all bad people
have been imported to the South,
and that an act of lawlessness would
be next to an impossibility within
their own domain. 1t does not often
occur that Southern mob is wrought
up to such an intense heat as to take
the law into its own hands, unless
some grave and shocking crime has
been committed to arouse its feel
ings. 1t does occur sometimes, how
ever, but there are few instances on
record where the act of the mob de-
served severer condemnation than
the act of the Illinois mob last week
and the act of another mob in the
same State more than a year ago.
In each instance the negroes had
committed no crime, but were only
seeking employment, and the act of
the mob was nothing less than cold
blooded murder. II the same con-
ditions that exist in the South
existed in the North, there would be
just as many lynching there as in
the South; and If these regular
attendants upon Northern anti.
lynching bees and indignation meet
ings would take more time to look
around themselves, they would soon
find that the North is not inhabited
alone by angels.

pleased with the result of the recent
Kentucky state convention that it is
running the full ticket at its mast
head, with a full-fledged Democratic
rooster at the top. At the same time
its editorial columns are filled with
articles against Bryan and free silver
and supporting the policy of the
present administration in the Phil

main planks Of the platform adopted
by the convention. Henri cuts a
