SIT begins to look as if the Philippine
war will soon come to close" If
Brother Christopher was compelled to
subsist on such war news as come from
the beleagured islands he would soon
grow lean and lank unless his inner
man and the gas engine demand SINH
lar nutriment.
THE horrible tradegy at Maysvllle,
KY. Wednesday when negro was
burned at the stake and even more
brutally tortured than was Sam Hose
at Newman for a similar offense, is not
properly chargeable to the south. Ken
lucky is more of a western than
southern state, and this case IS another
evidence that human nature is the
same in every section. There is no
more willingness in the west,s north or
east to respect the law in cases OF
criminals who have committed certain
heinous 0ffenses than there is in the
south.
THE Wool and Cotton Reporter has
discovered that the small cotton mills
pay the highest divends in North Car
DINA, and men who are able to build
big mills prefer to put their money in
stead into two or three smaller ones.
This organ of the cotton and woo
goods industry advocates such policy
as the safest and best in the long run
for the south.
The Arkansas man who subscribed
for his local paper on credit, took it
for five years without paying for it
and then offered to sell the old papers
back to the editor for cash when the
Iatter's office had been destroyed by
fire is'almost as nervy as the fellow who
threatened TO stop his subscription to
The News while in arrears for six
years.
JUDGE LANG gave the obnoxious tax
bill solar pexus blow by the introduce
ton of his timely resolution bequeath
ing it to an unborn legislature. 1t is
to be hoped that this scheme TO create
more soft snaps for officeless politl
clans will never recover from the
shock. There are already too many
office holders for the good of the burs
dened taxpayers Of the state.

er troubles, domestic and otherwise,
has been denied his seat in the house of
representatives pending an invistiga-
ton. Bat be has the satisfaction of
knowing that his salary as a member
of that body is being paid, and that is
what most of the STATESMEN" go there
for.
THE farmers of Terrell county should
organize and pledge themselves not to
be gouged by the infamous gUanO trust
which has advanced fertilizers 81 90
per ton. Such action might reduce the
cotton yield but it VIII also reduce
the mortgage crop. 1t is shame for
the farmers to be robbed IN such a
manner.
AS PREDICTED by this paper last
week, the senate has killed the Will
ingham bill. After forceful argument
pro and con, the measure was put upon
ITS passage Friday afternoon and de-
feated by vote of 26 to Ia.
THERE will be little regret at the de-
feat If the tax commission bill. The
people of the state are noe willing to
be taxed 100000 year to catch an
Imaginary rascal.
Now let US all get together and con-
centrate our efforts towards building
that cotton factory.
MCKINLEY has done little flag way
