The Anderson Lynclling.

Lynching is not to be tolerated at Il
great distance from the critic. 1t is
very materially different when the
ground for the lynching is at your door
and among your neigiibors, or per-
chance nearer still. In Anderson ne
gro ex-convict passing country house
and finding only young married wo-
man in charge, demanded something to
eat. Being given baked potatoes. the
only cooked food IN the house, he cursed
her .and then as she fled deliberately
shot her. Whcrcupon neighbors hunt
ed him down and took his life. Now if
tho death penalty is sound this fellow
deserved it and deserved it quick. The
objection to lynchiDg is in the possi-
bility Of mistake, in the facility of the
operation. In this case it appears that
the identity of the assailant was we'll
ascertained. The Anderson people
made no mistake. If the incident had
happened up in Maine we might criti-
else it. But the circumstances make
the monstrOhs differcncc.-Ln Lnurcms

In Chicago any boy over 10 years
old who is spanked by teacher or
parent has remedy at law in the form
Of an injunction. In decision few
de;s ago Judge Tuthill said boys over
10 years should not be spanked. "It
does not do q boy any good after that"
said the Court, "and, I fear, does him
much HARM" These remarks did not
escape the notice Of some thousands
Of small boys. They bought news
papers, and with the words of the
Court heavily underscored, gave the
papers to teachers and parents.

1t is to be hoped that the General
Assembly, at it's next session, will re-
district the State, and do away with
che Informed and ill-advised districts
as they stand at present. The rights
Of the franchise are now so secure
that there is no longer any necessity
for keeping up the present lines.
When the State was redistricted be
fore, the cry was made that it was me-
cessary because it was the only way to
retain white Representatives. This
bugaboo no longer exists, and there
can be no good reason to continue the
present arrangement.

In the latest figures of the census it
appears that there arc in this country
10000 more men than women. In
Europe the difference is the other
way. 1t would seem, therefore, that
the disposition in international mar
riages should be modified. Instead
of Europeans seeking American brides
duo regard for census statistics should
change the search to one for American
husbands.

a hundred things happen every

sees. He does the best he can, keeps
his eyes and ears open, but he is only
human being and neither omniscient

why this or that was not published,
aud maybe you say newspapers have
their favorites. A local newspaper
does its best to give all the news and
will gladly publish any item Of general
