There is a mingled and undetina

There is a mingled and undefinable
feeling of pleasure and pain in the
hearts of a majority Of the cotton
planters of the south - pleasure to
know that cotton is worth nine and a
half cents per pound, and pain to re-
member that most OF the crop was dis
posed of at much lower figure. Taken
as q whole, however, it may be truth
fully said that the cotton raising Sec
ton of the s)uth is in better financial
condition today than at any period
since the late unpleasantness, which,
as dob" Taylor faoetiously says,
placed the north on the pension list and
the south on crutches. Not only this,
but the prospects for the coming year
are indicative of better price for the
great product of the south than that OF
the present time There were hundreds
OF cotton men in the south who had re-
liable reports as to the effect of tbs
weather on the cotton in various sec
tions, ard all the probabilities were
against big crop. If Neill did moi
possess this inform alton, he must be
set down as mere gnesser. If be
did possess it, he stands convicted of
distorting the facts to suit certain pur-
poses of his own.

Port TAMPA City Fla, has adopted
a Curfew law that recognizes the color
line. After 10 o'clock p. m , all male
negroes must be at home and in bed, or
at least out of the streets, unless they
can show pass from Mayor Dempsey.
IF they are not the paterole will gather
them in. The pass of the mayor cor
responds to the pass Of the master in
the old days, but is rarely used The
object of the law is not race oppression
but it was designed in order to put an
end to the offenses and crimes that
darkness promotes and renders feasible.
AS all good negroes and all negroes
who have night employment can read
lily procure passes from the mayor, nc
real oppression exists, but as ii matter
Of fact, few passes are needed. Thus
far the ordinance has given satisfaction
IN Port Tama City. Fewer arrests are
made. fewer offenses are committed.
1t is conceded that the law is desirable.
Its constltutionality has not, however,
been atestted.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

A Train Robber Who Uses Person to Shield Him May Be Guilty of Mur- der.
 If band of robbers in an attempt to rob traip seize persons and use them as a shield in an attack on the express car, they are individually liable for murder if one of those persons is killed in fight which ensues, no matter by whom the shot that kills him is fred The court of criminal appeals of Tex as so held in the case of Taylor vs. the state. The appellant was convicted of
 murder in the first degree. The evil dence showed he and a number of others had united in an attempt to rob train
 on the Gulf, Colorado X Santa Fe rail-
 way. When the train was stopped one
 of the other members of the band of
 robbers took the fireman off the engine and placed him near the express car
 Just then one of the passengers on the
 train came out of coech and began
 firing. The robbers returned the fire, and in the progress of the fight the fireman was shot and killed
 Taylor had already been convicted of an assault with intent to rob the ex-
 press messenger on the train, and he pleaded that conviction as a bar to prosecution for the murder of the fire man. He also insisted that the fireman was killed by a shot fired by the pas senger who was resisting the robbers, and therefore he ought not to be held liable for causing his death.
 The supreme court decided against him on both contentious. In doing si it said that if the defendant and his com panions in an attempt to commit a fel- ony, chose to put the deceased in a dangerous place in order to consum- mate their purpose, regardless of wheth- CT he was killed or not, and his life was taken on account of their direc and law less act, they were severally responsi- ble for his murder, whether 1t was oc-

R4ILRO1D POOLING.

And now 1t is argued that this coun-
 pooling as a preventive of consolida-
 ton. It is pointed out that the anti trust law and the interstate law togeth- CT are driving the railroads into uniting in order to prevent ruinous rate cutting river, south of the Great Lakes and
 cast of the Mississippi are passing un-
 der the control of two large trunk line
 companies for the reason that the ac- 1 quisition of control is the only way
 while the laws mentioned are in force Of preventing disastrous rate competi-
 ticn. Congress, in short, by it's rail- road legislation, blunders into the crea- tior of the huge consultations which 1t nrofesses to dislike. "The time has conlL," says Commissioner Knapp, s'when we must choose between these 1 two alternatives-a railroad con- | solidation under the present laws or I railroad cooperation under new law | Consolidation, which means all that un- restricted pooling can mean and all that the strongest combination can sig nifty, is fast becoming an accomplished fact. Cooperation, with all requisite safeguards against it's abuse, and url- der the efficient supervision of the com mssiCn, is still feasible and a most desirable recourse" MT. Knapp sces that the railroads are acting under compr'sion Agreements to maintain rates" he says, ''have been held unlaw- ful under the antitrust law, railroad pooling is forbidden under the inter- state commerce law, and the only re- naaining legal means of exerting effect i've control is through the requirement of stock in competing corporations.
 In other words, it doesn't seem to be possible to beat the railroads.

SENSTBEE SCHLEY.

Some who have followed, or tried to follow, the great Sampson-schley con- troversy may have got the impression that Schley's head isn't altogether level. If any such there be they will perhaps have better opinion when they read his latest declaration of independence. His name has been repeatedly suggest ed as in the list from which the Demo- crats would be likely to choose their candidate for President, and now 1 he is again mentioned" But this is the way he has written to the editor of the Philadelphia Times: Your editorials touching the talk of placing me in nom- ination with MT. Bryan reflect precisely what my views are. I know nothing of politics nor of political life, and un- der no circumstances would I allow the use of my name before any convention for any office whatever. I have passed the age when Presidential or any other kind of bees worry me. I know nothing of the duty of any political office, and am fully content to live the years yet left me in quiet retirement from the turmoil of office l am resolved ire vocably not to accept any nomination if it were rendered and, if in my absence I should be elected, I would not serve.
 Sensible Schley. If all our great sea- men were as sensible it would be en- couraging.

SHE WAS DRUM MAJOR.

A Hull Girl Kept Her Word and Marched with the Brass Band.
 The most unique feature of the Me- | morial day parade at Hull was the ap- friends, of the popular Miss Maud Syl- vester of Allerton, Hull, acting as
 drum major for the band. Several days | ago, half in jest, she and another Hull lady declared they would march with the band. The latter, not having the courage to do so, backed out but Miss Sylvester was game, especially after
 the band unanimously voted to allow her to go
 Accordingly, when the band met at headquarters Miss Sylvester was promptly on hand, with gayly be- decked baton or staff, and attired in a natty suit of dark material, with the in- itials of the band, worked in gold, on the lapels of her jacket and the name of the post on her cap.
 Miss Sylvester is stylish young wo- man, of good form, with a profusion of rich auburn hair, veritable 'strawber- ry blonde" as she would facetiously put it in her characteristic way. She became the exposure of all eyes as she marched with perfect and graceful step through the dusty streets of Hull. Nan tucket, North Cohasset, Beechwood and Cohasset Harbor, for she kept with the band during the livelong day, and not a whimper of weariness-whicb could not be said of the majority of the men--es- capped her lips.
 She was game from start to finish, a vertable daughter of the regiment" The worst gantlet she ran was the com mnts, sometimes adversely, expressed, from her own sex, at her "boldness." But Miss Sylvester is girl of her word, and would have kept it under all cir cumstances. Some of the younger men of the procession were very attentive and solicitous for her to ride in their barge, and not few of the older ones showed more or less gallantry At any rate, she was highly pleased at the courtesy she received from every one of the eighty men in the parade.--Hull Beacon.
