Mrs. w. II. FELTON,. IA gifted Georgia
lady, in speaking OF the matter that
has been OF such torture to the South
negro rapist-and the false synpa-
thy showercd upon such bya few East
ern people, says:
When abolition hatred OF the South
vents itself in abuse OF Southern men
who torture such Il beast. before the
vital spark is shot out Of his vile
body. do they ever think for an in
stant of the exceedingly greater suf-
fering that has been inflicted on The
victim? 1t is not possible to inflict
upon the black rapist any punishment
comparable 10 the suffering already
endured by innocence and virtue If
he was torn to pieces limb by limb,
and burnt with slow ire, or hung by
the thumbs until the buzzards swarm
ed over him, he would still lie saved
some Of the revolving torture already
inflicted on harmless victim. who
had committed no crime and inflicted
no injury upon him. 1t beggarS
to express her suffering or to put in
type the comparison between her fate
and his, when he is simply hung by
the decision Of the State law. and
given time to repent and receive the
good treatment in jail before the day
Of execution. Do not misunderstood
Iuc, for / am only stating facts. con-
ditions. | am not advocating mob
law, for | know it can become men
ace to human life; hut do say that
l have no patience and no respect for
any person whatsoever who INDUCES
in any sort of sympathy for the brutcs
which prOwl on the highways to de-
str0y the fair maidens and wives of
our own land This black beast on
the road tn McIvor's Station has de-
humanized himself; he was as great
an enemy to human kind as ~ dog
with hydroplobia; he was entitled to
no more consideration than the ami
NAL with rabies, II, indeed. he de-
served as much. Indealing with such
ravenous beasts as Sam Robinson or
Sam Hose there can be 90 dealing
with human SOILS, mnda Or manners,
for the human was sunk far lower
than the beast, and the best thing tn
do was to promptly rid<bcEearth of
such vile and dangerous cattle.

A CHAPTER.

The American mind is dOu0tlcSs
well impressed with the reiterated
statement that inestimable blessings
are to follow the tlag into the land Of
the Philippine heather; that the ex;.
pulsion of the minions of cffeteSpq
and the rcscuing Of the benighted M
tives from the misleading friars.@
would bring dowry of happiness and
IRrosperity and liberty nQkeven dream
of by the Filipincs. Now the god
ly work is being accomplished isspcca;
sionally made known to an AN
world. Thomas w. Jones, asprivdyc
in the Eleventh Cavalry, writes to bis
brother in Washington report Ut =
encounter in which he participated.
We borrow a narration Of the incident
from the New Orleans States
Sixty members of his regiment were
ordered out to kill or capture a famous
Filipino general known to b6livipg in
the neighborh0Od.
The generals house was located, and
the Americans crawled through the
underbrush until they secured posi-
tions but Il few yards distant. Then
they discovered that they had unwit-
tingly come upon wedding. The
Americans were ordered to Ia vol
ley from ambush and then Charge,
which they did with terrible results.
"rhe scene that rcsulted was horri-
ble," writes Private Jones. 'On the
ground near the house lay the body OF.
the bride, whose brains bad been
blown out. The bridegroom, who 'Iad
received bullet in the stomach, was
living near by id a dying condition
Twelve of the Filipinos had been XIII
cd and about the same number wound
ed An elderly woman was sllot
through the leg and little child had
her arm shot on
This merciless slaughter OF helpless
people. may, in the estimation OF the
CONSERVATIVES of the church militant
be n "holy war;" but IL will not I'm.
press either the FilipinOs or very
large majority Of the people In tins
country that way. In all, the record
of Spanish atrocities in Cuba there Is
nothing to equal In unmitigated bru-
tally and ,cruclty the occurrence de-
ribed by Private Jones Of the Elev.

WHY HE SHOULD VOTE FOR
BRYAN.

The London Truth is one 0f the
most influential newspapers published
In England. and its bri4fiant editor,
Henry Labeucherc, is Il man OF con-
vlctions and has the courage to pro.
claim them. In Il recent editorial on
American politics he said:
Were | an American | would vote
for Mr.. Bryan in the coming election.
| do not believe in bimetallism. hut
regard it as a proposition having
nothing to do with practical politics.
81 would vote for Bryan because
he is more Democratic than his oppo.
nent. Bryan's crusade against trusts
means that he objects to plntocrats
ruling the country in their own inter
ests. His opposition to the entering
on Il scramble for outside territory is
merely the doctrine which until
within few years was held by every
American. 1t is this doctrine which
has made the United States SO pros
porous.
"Captaiists and imperialistS are ac-
tuated by the same aim. They want
to divert attention from the mainten-
ance of democracy at home by Haunt
ing before their country the glory of
an increasing area of empire. Semi
civilized lands acquired by the sword
are the best hunting fields.
Never yet has people or nation
benefited by such acquisitions. In
perialsm has made the plutocrats our
masters for the noncc. They will re-
main the masters until Imperialism is
exploded.
"The Americans have an excellent
constitution, hut it won't stand the
strain of military adventure abroad. y

The hay crop is reported the best In
Mississippi for very many years. Will
a poor corn crop, caused by the heavy
and continued rains, hay will be q
good substitute for stock during the
long winter months.
More railroads mean better dirt
roads, because there will be fewer
dirt roads to work. Better dirt roads
mean better stock and less wear and
tear on vehicles and harness.
There is much talk in and out Of
the State press about holding cotton
by "a concert OF action among the Mis-
sissippi farmers. 1t seems to have
dawncd on a great many people at
last that supply and demand have
something to do with the price of cot
ton after all.
b II the Taxpayers allow poor officials
they are themselves to blame for it.
They can route anything or anybody
when they make up their minds to dQ
so. Ames and the latter-day politicaF
bosses have found this cut.
There is another fellow who Is
closely related to the demagogue and
the delinquent poll taxpayer. He is a
blind tiger, who seems to have a
strong pull in the primaries where
the poll tax delinquent is potential,
making nominations for the taxpaying
Democrats OF the State to elect at the
polls. The interest the blind tiger
has in the matter is to bel coin 0fii.

of the tiger. .u..

THAT FUTURE DAY.


When this warm body shall be dust,
Some ive-score years from now,
Still shall the reaper bind his sheaf,
Still shall the plowman plow.
On other ears than mine shall fall
The very's double trill,
Another's feet the sunset trail
Shall lure from hill to hill.
Though all forgotten then be I,
moss grown thing my name,
Though every chronicle forget
These hostages to fame.
Yet II above my iattened mound,
Where wild flowers greet the rain,
My children's chdrens chldren's child
Shall twist n daisy chain;
Though he have never heard Of me
Who shouts and leaps In play.
And In the marbles shadow laughs
The summer noon away.
In my white robe, Eternity
shall look down. perchance,
And my immortal years may be
More blissful for the glance

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought OF
using anything else for indigestion
or biliousness. Doctors were very
scarce and seldom heard of appen-
dicitis, nervous prostration or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation Of undigested
food, regulate the action OF the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
Iganic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few
doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you salts
