KING WANTS A PARDON.

A petition is being circulated here
this week for the pardon of James
King, one of the murderers of Joseph
Bufkin at Caseyville in 1897, and We
regret to say it is being quite freely
signed. Certainly every man who calls
himself a good citizen ought to think
the matter over soberly, before he signs
a petition of this character. King was
first convicted and sentenced to be
hung, and after the case was reversed
by the Supreme Court and he was ar
raigned second time, was given
penitentiary sentence of ten years,
which was a trivial punishment for his
crime. Now it is proposed to ask the
Governor to shorten this, because some
other criminals have not received what
they deserved at the hands of the law.
Judge Powell made the alarming
statement in his charge to the grand
jury Monday that Lincoln county has
the largest number Of homicides COM
mitted in her borders. in proportion to
her population, of any other county in
his district. This is startling, though
we believe just arraignment, but 1t is
not to be wondered at when so many
people make haste to assist murderers
in escaping the just penalty of their
crimes after the courts convict them.
The predicate is also laid in this way
for lynch law.
Judge Powell and District Attorney
Greaves both inform The LEADER that
they have refused to recommend exec
utive clemency in Kings case, be-
cause they see no just reason for SO
doing. Let all good citizens stand BY
their law officers in trying to yindicate
the law, and Lincoln county's reputa-
ton will improve accordingly. We ex-
pect to refer to this subject again.

Mr.. John McGrath, whose familiar
visage greets the public from THE
LEADERS columns today, was born in
Limerick county, Ireland, in 1922. He
landed in New York in 1851, and went
first to Waterbury, Connecticut, then
to Savannah, Ga, where he remained
from 1853 to 1858. He came to Missis-
sippi with the well-known Col. Wadley
in the latter year, and served the Hi
nois Central railroad, first as section
foreman, next as construction loss and
later as supervisor. In 1853, at Sa-
vannah, he married Miss Ellen Flood.
of county Wexford, Ireland, and to
them -sieht children we're. born. Their
eldest, the lamented T. J. S. McGrath,
has passed beyond the bourne whence
no traveller returns. They have thirty
six grand children and one great
grandchild Twenty-Five years ago,
Mr.. McGrath founded the large mer
camille establishment of John Nc
Grath & Sons, with the small capital of
$500. His two eldest sons, Tom and
Will, were at once associated with
their father in the business. Since
that time two other sons, Martin and
James, have grown to manhood's estate
and are now members of the firm, that
is we'll known as the great one price
store throughout the borders of Lin
coin county and beyond. Mr.. Nc
Grath is greatly beloved by his chill
dren and grandchildren; and is "the
dearest old man in the world" He is
one of the most benevolent of our cit
izens and of kindly, generous nature.
Devoted to his family and friends, still
active beyond his years, a prominent
factor in Brookhaven's commercial
world, we hope that his strength may
be as his days and that his days may
be heightened through many years to

MCKINLEY REFLECTED.
His Majority Probably Greater
Than Four Years Ago.


The election news, from a Demo
cratic stand point, is almost too bad to
publish. The full returns are not in
as The LEADER goes to press, but
enough is known to show that McKin-
ley has been reelected by probably
more decisive majority than four years
ago. The following telegram received
here this morning indicates that in
stead of a Bryan there has been Nc
Kiuley landslide in the North and
West:
New ORLEANS, Nov. Z, o a. m.-The
New York Journal claims Indiana for
Bryan by 1900 and Kentucky by 5000.
Ohio has gone for Mckinley by about
$4,000. Mckinley carried Massachusetts,
by about $4,000, Maine 5000, Illinois
5000, Michigan $1,000, West Virginia
5000, Maryland 1900, New York, IL
linois, New Jersey, Maryland, Ohio,
Indiana, Kentucky and South Dakota,
are for Mckinley. Nebraska is'close.
The House of Representatives is Re
publican.
Mckinley seems to have carried all
the states that he had in 1895, and has
captured several carried by Bryan.
Mississippi and Lincoln county, of
course, gave Bryan overwhelming ma
jorities. Hooker and McLain, the only
Democratic Congressional candidates
who had opposition, won hands down.
A very light vote was polled in Missis-
sippi.

Decision Based on Case Carried
Up From Tennessee.
THE STATE COURT UPHELD.
Tho Tennessee Law Regulating tho Sale of
Cigarettes as an Article of Commerce is
ms constitutional as tho Law Regulating

Decision of tho State Court Controvert-

CBy Telegraph to Virginian- Pilot.)
Washington, d. c.. Nov. 1s.-The
United States Supreme Court to-day
rendered an opinion in the case of VIII
nam Is. Austin VS.. the State OF Ten
nessee. involving the question as to
recognition to which cigarettes are en-
titled under the law. The case origi-
mated in the State of Tennessee and it
called into question the validity of the
State law regulating the sale of this
article OF commerce on the ground that
IT was an infringement of the right of
Congress to regulate interstate COM
merce.
TENNESSEE COURT UPHELD.
The Tennessee Supreme Court up-
held the law and to-dayS decision sus-
tanned that verdict, though not with
out disapproval of some of the posi-
tons taken, and then upon n very mar
row margin, four out of nine members
Joining In n dissenting opinion. and an
other member of the court (Judge
Whitc) placing his assent upon grounds
different from those announced by JUS
tice Brown, who handed down the opin-
ion.
THE CASE
Inc case grew out of the importation
OF cigarettes into Tennessee from North
Carolina. They were taken into the
State in ordinary sized cigarette pack
ages, about 2 by inches. and these
packages were loosely thrown into
baskets which We're uncovered. The
claim was made that these cigarette
packages. We're what is known to the
law as original packages; but without
clearly defining an original package.
the court held that 1t was clear that
such packages could not be so regard
ed Justice Brown. in passing upon

obviously made up with view of
evading the law. and as he spoke he

HOW IT HAPPENED.

erick l.. LeMosey, rector of st. Ste
phens Episcopal Church. near Forest
Depot. and Trinity Church. near
Boonsboro, both in Bedford county,
was fatally hurt Sunday by n vicious
horse and died a short time after
wards.
The minister was on his way from
the rectory near Forest to Trinity
Church in top buggy to hold services,
and when in n short distance of the
church his horse ran away and was
observed to be kicking in the widest
manner. Members of his congregation
walking along the road saw him fall
from the buggy. then rise and stagger
in Ga2ed way. lie was able to tell
those who went to his assistance that
he had been kicked in the head, but al

held one of the little cigarette cases
up to the view of his auditors. On this
point the decision of the State court
to the effect that the packages were
not original, was fully confirmed.
ANOTHER PHASE.
On another phase of the case the
State court was not so fully endorsed.
The Tennessee court has held that Gig
aretteS are not an article of commerce.
With this view Justice Brown took Is
sue, and he delivered quite disserta-
ton upon the subject. Whatever is
an object OF barter and sale is, he said,
an article of commerce, and must be so
recognized. Tobacco had been such an
article for four hundred years. 1t had
been made the subject of taxation, and,
indeed. had become more widely scat
tered than any other vegetable. Pro-
badly, he added. no other vegetable
has contributed so much to the COM
fort and solace of the human race.
This being the case. it was entirely be-
yond bounds to say that tobacco was
not an article of commerce.
THE STATE HAS CONTROL.
He then took notice of the claim that
cigarettes are an especially harmful
form of tobacco, and while he conceded
that this might be the case he re-
marked that this claim was of COM
paratively recent origin. Still. he held
that cigarettes are as much n subject
ofsState legislation as is liquor, and he
further held that, while no State law
could prohibit importation in original
packages, 1t was entirely competent for
Legislature to regulate the sale, be-
cause of the original belief in the dele
ferrous effect of the article.
DISSENTING OPINION.
There was a dissenting opinion of
Justice Shiras, in which the Chief Jus
tice and Justices Brewer and Peckham
Joined. They based their dissent upon
the theory that Congress has exclusive
control OF Interstate commerce,
