Nenrnas Want Him Hahqed.

At the April term of the Superior
Court for Mitchell county, Ca, Jim
Kimberly, colored, was convicted of
the murder of his aunt and sentenced
to hang on May 16. Shortly before the
hour fixed for the execution on that
day the sheriff received notification
from the governor that Kimberly had
been respited for thirty days upon pc
tition of leading white citizens Of the
county. The petitioners alleged grave
doubts of tue responsibility OF the con
demnad nan, and asked for inquiry in
to his mental condition. Two mem
bers of the jury which convicted the
man signed the petition.
Today leaders of the coiored popula-
ton drew up and circulated petition
to the governor praying that the law
be permitted to take it's course III tile
case OF Kimberly, aud deploring that
he was not promptly hanged Oh the
date named by the trial court. Inc
colored petitioners direct atten fl,t' to
the allegation recently advanced by
the governor himself, and freq ienfiy
made by others, that the delays Ut The
law are largely responsible for lynch
iligs, and Call upon the governor 70 see
to it in the interest of law and order,
that justice is speedily melted out to
this murderer.

SHOULD NOT CONFLICT.

Parties interested in the Baldwin
District Fair started movement sew
eral weeks ago looking to the holding
of an exhibition this year at the fair
grounds. About the same time, or
possibly few days after the Baldwin
Fair people had taken final action an
other move was made by other parties
to hold street carnival. A citizens
league was organized and this organl-
cation has taken hold Of the street
carnival with the intention of making
it a success. We are glad to see oul
people thus interested. The two can
not and should not conflict and every
effort should be put forth to have the
two exhibitions and make them sue
cessful. The people of this city an6
county are capable o. carrying every
thing they undertake to success and
these two attractions should be no ex
ception to the rule Let everybody
work in harmony and with an ey'
single to the advancement of our beau
tiful county and noble people.

HARD TIMES IN THE SOUTH

Judge Robert Powell, of Mississippi.
is reported in the daily press as having
made speech at Vicksburg few days
ago in which he discussed the Poverty
of the South with these words:
1.-The reason of our poverty is not
hard to find. Take our average citizen.
He gets up in the morning and pulls
on a pair of socks from Lynn, Mass,
puts on a pair of shoes from Boston,
suit of clothes from Philadelphia; goes
into his breakfast, draws up a chair
made in Chicago, and eats from table
which came from Cincinnati; sweet
ems bis coffee from Rio with sugar from
Louisiana, takes slice of ham cured
in st. Louis, and buffers biscuit OF
Minnesota flour with oleomargarine
which came from the Lord knows
where: he eats South Carolina or
Louisiana rice; and even the very grits
upon his table were ground in some
Northern mill; he goes to his stable
and puts a set of harness from 81.
Louis on a mule from Kentucky;
bitches it to u wagon from Illinois and
rides over to his neighbors and COM
plains of hard times, OF course times
are hard when everything people eat,
drink, wear and drive came from
somewhere else. and only the atmos-
phere which he hresthes is home In
stitutiou.
While many may differ with Judge
Pow I'll none can doubt but that he
spoke the truth. The people as rule
in all Southern communities, have fol
lowed pretty much the course as
marked out by Judge Powell's Nieks
burg speech. They have never recog
niaed the Importance of dealing will
one another. but have chung to the ides
of buying elsewhere. In the future

Our Railroads, Crops and Phones

The Norfolk Public Ledger OF late
date contained the following article,
which is plimentary OF our people
and section. The writer, who signed
himself ''Medicus," says:
SIN a recent trip of the writer to the
Valley of Virginia there were several
things of striking interest which at
tracted his attention, two OIL three or
which he will mention.
First, the G. & 0. Ry. oyer which
the journey was made to Staunton.
The cars first ran from Hanover juno
ton to Gordonsville. After few years
they went to Charlottesville, then to
Staunton, from which point to Hunt
ington, w. Va. The work of construc
ton was generally very heavy, and
consequently slow, have never seen
the road in as good condition as it is
at present, nor the officials more polite
or attentive. The cars were crowded
with passengers in both directions
while fried chicken, as usual, was
plentiful at Gordonsville.
The crops this side of Albemarle
were generally very indifferent, but in
the Valley, especially south of Staun
ton, they are magnificent. There viii
be in this section fair crop of apple;
and an abundance of cherries,
Just now my phone rings, and it re
minds me of IA telephone system they
have in the Valley. From StauntOr
to Lexington, and to Clifton Forge
there are lines, and how far they g
beyond these points | know not, bu'
wires are run from the Central" a
Staunton to farm houses all thu Ougl
the country. A lady twelve mile
south OF Staunton telephoned to he
butcher in Staunton at night for fresl
meats, and they we're sent by B. y U
Il. r. in time for breakfast the mex
morning. The phones are furnishes
the first year at $3.50 and rental o

and it is yours, in fee, while the 5
lpays for keeping up the line. TIL
gentleman with whom 1 stopped toll
me that 40 cents had paid all expense
for keeping the phone in order for th
past year. The phonetic power
these valley phones surpass any l hay
ever seen. The idea of S6.40 per al
mum supplying one with splendi
phone throws our Long-Distance
the shade"

The Richmond Times appears to be
In a mood to compromise with the reg
ular Democrats. Our contemporary
declares it will join hands with the
party if any other platform than the
one of 1896 is adopted. In all serious
ness we will ask the Times ifNiG will be
one of us if we adopt the Chicago
platform of 1892 and nominate for
president the Hon. Wm. J. Bryan
The 1892 platform declared for the use
of both gold and silver without dis
elimination, and to be frank with our
Richmond neigh Dor we give it to un-
derstand that MIR. Bryan as president
will not constitute its meaning as did
Mr.. Cleveland-that is to hold on to
gold and let silver go. Bryan will hold
to both. What say you? Don't dodge
the issue?

Ex-senator Pfeffer. of Kansas, who
several years ago deserted the Republi'
can party and joined the Popullsts,
has now deserted his new love and re-
turned to his old. He had been a Re
publican all his life before joining the
Populists, but had never been honored
in any shape or form. The Populists
gave him seat in the Senate for. SIX
years and as long as he held this posi-
ton be made people believe he was
Populist all over, but now that he nc
longer holds an office he smites the
hand that made him what be is. This
shows plain case of ingratitude, bu
then Pfeffer has done no more than
score of Democrats il Virginia did il
1896.

The country joins the Military Court
of INQUIRY in hoping that the beef
question may now be considered a
closed Observation-Disclosures IL. ~
Gazette.
We concede to the Gazette the right
to speak for SO much of the country
as part of the Republican party oc-
cupies, but the beef incident is a mat
ter that will not stay closed. The
findings of the court has a far more
distasteful ordor than the embalmed
beef itself, and for this reason it will
be an open incident until the people
punish the guilty parties, it matters
little who they may be or the position
they occupy.
