except that once since then he has
been seen on Commercial avenue, try
ing to sell a load of wood.
When Mary Venir found out that her
boy husband had deserted her she
threw herself down on the floor and
screamed. The people gathered on the
pavement outside and wondered what
was the trouble. 1t required all Inc
strength and persuasion of Mrs. Baird
and her son to quiet the girl. But
finally they succeeded.
Then Mary Venir took to strange
tricks. She Uttered her room with
laboriously penned letters. purporting
to come to her from her husband, and
she put them in old envelopes and took
them to her parents and to Mrs. Baird,
saying they had come from the hus-
band who had deserted her. They were
very queer letters indeed.
Then she began telling many lies,
which were not found out till after
ward, together with other things.
But Mrs. Baird believes one thing
which the child wife told her. She
said: when Henry and me was mar
ried he said he'd be father to the
one baby, but he'd never stand fer
another
You will remember that when Mary
Venir was i'll with pneumonia she was
with child. That seems to explain the
desertion.
A little while ago several charitable
women heard of 1.-The Venir case" And
that is why Mary Venir is now in the
Home of the Good Shepherd in Helena,
where she is to remain until she be-
comes 21.

Thomas Fean's looks We're against

whole attitude carried plainly the mes
sage that he did not give a good =
| for any old man or any old court on
earth.
| Just before his appearance in court
| Mr. Fean had appropriated a pair of
! shoes that belonged to the Goodfriend
| Clothing company. They had been ex-
! posed to view in front of the store
and had looked good to Mr. Fean. He
| had gathered them to himself and
| started to run. Sig. Goodfriend is some
| what of a sprinter himself He, with
Fred Woodwork, pursued the shoe
swiper and caught him. They turned
| him over to Officer Sullivan who tap-
peared on the scene about that time.
Mr.. Fean announced that he was
ready for trial at once. Accordingly ne
was Immediately hailed before the po-
lice court, where he pleaded not guilty
to the charge of petit larceny. Mr..
Goodfriend and Mr. Woodwork told
their stories and the defendant cross
examined them in his own peculiar
fashion without doing his case any
good. When found guilty Fean de-
clined to take the statutory time for
the passing Of sentence. The face OF
Judge Kennedy became longer and
longer as the trial proceeded and at it's
termination was not a beautiful sight
to look upon. six months in the
county jail That was the sentence
that was passed, and within half an
hour of the commission of the offense
Fean entered upon the serving of the
sentence.

Retaliation In kind fs all the revengeful
can think of. Each lynching sets about
five per cent. of the black race-thorough-
~ brutalized and essentially eriminal-out-
laws every one-to devlsing revenges Of
one sort or another. A town may be burn
ed, citizen may be picked off as he rides
along lonely roads. but more probably
defenseless woman will be the VICTIM
Tho greater the degree of ignorance "a the
injured race. the more readily viii revenge
be sought. Crime begets crime, and in the
end condition is created that leads to
bloodshed on a wide and terrible scale.
The point of view need not, however, be
extended. Approximations realized in other
countries need not be pictured here, al
though history explains their possibility
The question before the south is just this,
does not lynching really increase, instead
of decreasing, the crime it is directed
against? If lynchings lead to revenges, as
indeed they may, then indeed every lynch
ing renders more precarious the safety OF
the women whom all desire to protect to
the utmost. If the brutality of ignorant
and brutalized and criminal blacks be
aroused by lynching, then indeed
lynchfng itself becomes crime against
the women of the SOUTH
The theory of lynching calls for the eX-
termination by violence, without trial, of
all criminal negroes. The theory cannot
be fully applied. It's application is partial,
and revenge comes in at each stopping
point. Palmetto, and all other districts in
which lynching has been practiced demon
strate this, and the freedom of the south
from crimes against women when lynch
ing was not applied as a remedy goes to
prove it. This grave matter needs grave
treatment. Tho intelligence of the south
should assert itself, and the mob spirit
should be made to see that law and law
full methods are after all the only preven-
tives of crime and if speedy trials in all
cases of crime against women could be
guaranteed In the new constitution of Ala
bama, there would not remain in this state
a single excuse for another lynching, and
perhaps there would never be another.

lYnchinas Invite Crime.

Volumes in point OF quantity have been
written during tho week just ended con-
corning the recent Georgia lynchings.
Their barbarity has been fully and keenly
pointed out-their dangers made manifest.
AL this notoriety is very natural and very
distressing; but to the people of the south
one phase of the problem outranks all the
rest-how best can the women of the south
be protected? That Is the essential ques-
ton. Before the civil war no crimes
against women where committed by me-
groes, and there were no lynchings. What
has brought the terrible change?
Perhaps many things have conspired to
change the situation; but ono thing seems
clear to every student, lynchings have not
in any locality. north or south, lessened
crime. The Palmetto district in Georgia
Is an illustration. Not long ago five or six
negroes were brutally murdered in the To-
cal lookup, and yet in the same locality
arises awful cases of other crimes. Saw
agery, In other words, invites savagery.

The Future BirmInqham.

The prosperity and prospects of Btf-
mingham may be said to be a national
matter. For thaht matter all the world is
interested in the cheap production of iron
,ad steel and sugar machinery, and nails,
and other goods that are closely connected
with the furnace, When a chunk of ore
is taken from the bowels OF Red Mountain
and converted into handful of steel nails,
and those nails are carried to a gulf or
South Atlantic port, and placed on board
O cotton ship almost as ballast-that is
in essence Birmingham. Those nails rep
resent Birmingham in tho future. They
stand for Birmingham in all countries and
in all lands; and if we can make and place
steel nails in Havre or Liverpool or Ham
burg cheaper than any other town can,
then Birmingham becomes one of the
worlds focal centers, one of the worlds
great entrepots.
True, we nave TlNdlS, it'll pOWSl lui,
but all their wealth and power will prove
navailing if we can make and barge to
tidewater a keg of nails or q bar of rail-
road iron at prices they cannot meet. The
test of supremacy in the long run is
cheapness of production and transporta-
ton to tidewater. The government Is CIV
ing us slackwater navigation; we have al
ready made plain the fact that we can
sell pig iron at prices that can not else
where be matched, and it remains now to
demonstrate that that pig iron can be
turned into steel and tho steel into, for
example, nails, in order to make Birming-
ham great and rich and powerful also.
All this is near at hand. All this will
soon be demonstrated. And when it Is,
Birmingham will be worlds town, touch
ing the arteries of trade at every point,
for iron and steel are of universal use, en-
tering into almost every industry and
every enterprise. Birmingham nails may
yet be driven in every new building and
every new fence and every new ship in
the whole world round. That is why we
say this town is not In the local class. The
Warrior canal and our own enterprise will
soon mako it worlds town.

e Talks About the Bright Side of
Birmingham, and the Pleasures of Next Week

Many thousand strangers will be in Bir-
mingham the latter part of this and thu
first of next week. Many of them have
been here before. Many of them will come
on their first visit. They will find limited
hotel facilities. Some of them may be I'M
comfortable But all who will take the
pains to see Birmingham will be pleased
with it and amazed at it's rapid recent
growth. I was first in Birmingham in 1889.
I didn't think much of it then. 1 came to
Birmingham to live just twenty-one months
ago today. I am twenty-one times more
glad today that l did it than 1 was then.
I am twenty-one times more impressed with
the fact that Birmingham Is destined TO
be the greatest city of the south. 1t has
its rough edges yet. 1t has not the polished
surface L would like to see upon 1t, and
there are some things here which are too
high. But 1t is getting down to a solid,
sensible, smooth and symmetrical basis
with more rapidlty than any city have
ever known. Everybody likes it better
every day and it is getting in better condi-
ton every hour.
Without exception, Birmingham is the
healthiest city in the south. 1t has every
requisite of health, and health and happi-
ness make riches.
I see more strong, healthy, happy-look-
ing, florid-complexioned people in Birming-
ham than are to be found in any other
southern city. One finds more manufactur-
ing enterprises here, more employment for
labor more opportunities for business,
more facilities for pleasure, more good air,
better transportation facilities, and, indeed,
more of everything, developed and unde-
veloped, than is to be found almost any
where.
like the town and everything in 1t and
about it. The cleverest, happiest, and most
progressive people in the world are to be
found right here. Everybody is good
natured, and when you find town filed
with good-natured and happy people, you
may be sure you are in a good town.
People can't spend money unless they
make it, and if one will look at the adver-
Using columns of The Age-Herald this
morning he will find a clever indication
that there are not few merchants in
