personal interests the government at
Washington, and the public machinery
of many OF the States. as well as of
innumerable counties and cities, is
now running practically without any

from Washington during the most Of

Aggregate cost to the people to 1907,
not less than 500, 900, 0oo, for which
payment has been and will be made by
taxation.
These are the figures In cold print,
and the totals are rather astonishing.
Yet the Republican party asks the peo-
pie for permission and authority to
keep this sort Of thing up indefinitely.
The old regular army of $4,000 men,
with It's comparatively insignificant ex-
penditure, was good enough for the
American people for the past genera
ton, and under a proper administra-
tive policy would be good enough for
many years to come. We no longer
need large garrisons in the Indian
country. Out of such an army, care
fully divided between the various
branches of the service, the coast de-
lenses could be properly manned and
cared for, adequate garrisons main
tanned at all important military posts,
and scores of millions of dollars saved
to the people. to say nothing Of more
important things.

A RAPIsT BROUGHT TO THE PEN.
Sheriff Johnson Thinks There Are Hard Times
Ahead of Farmers in Chatham.

Sheriff j. j. Johnston, of Chatham
county, was in the city yesterday. He
came to bring to the p~enitentiary
Haywood Council, a negro who was
convicted at the recent session OF
Chatham court Of an attempt to rape.
His victim was a young white girl, and
the crime was committed more than
eighteen months ago. 1t was a year
after the crime had been committed
before he was tried and the Fusion
magistrate before whom he was tried.
acquitted the negro on the ground
that the case was Outlawed, one year
having expired since the commission
Of the crime with which he was
charged.
The papers took up the matter and
gave publicity to the facts. Before
another magistrate the negro was
bound over to court. and at the last
term Of the Superior court Of Chatham
county. was convicted and sentenced
by Judge Hoke to fifteen years in the
p~enitentiary. He yesterday began
serving his term.
When asked about the condition of
crops in Chatham, Sheriff Johnston
said that not more than half a crop
Of corn or cotton had een made.
"They may talk about prosperity all
they please said he, 'Dut its pretty
slow out our way. True. the farmers
are getting 10 cents for their cotton.
but it cost them double as much as
usual to make it. They only made one
bale where they expected to make
two. and their expense for labor and
guano was dou.-e what it should be
to make the same number of bales.
There is not enough corn to last them
oye to the next aso and the most
of them are in debt. 1t looks pretty
blue for them. | think. Politics, sea
sons and everything else went wrong
this year, said he with a laugh.
