Next month the various county con-
ventions will meet to select candidates
for county offices. When it comes to
filing county Offices, politics should
cut but little figure, and the voters
should elect those candidates who they
know to be honest, competent and
trustworthy. Hide-bound PARTISAN
ship in filling county offices is not a
good thing for any community.

FIXING EASTER SUNDAY.
How the Date was Determined and Why II Is
Movabe-vernal Equinox.

After an obstinate controversy of moro
than q hundred years between the East
and the West as to the time of the cole
bration of Easter, the first General Coun-
oil of the Roman Catholic Church, held
In the year 1926, at tho City Of Nice, in
Bithynia, decreed that Easter should
every year be celebrated on the first Sun
day following the full moon after tho
vernal or spring equinox. In order, how
over, that this may be understood in all
latitudes and hemisphores, further OK
planation is necessary
BY tho vornal equinox is understoo cd
that day on which the sun crosses the
equator in spring, and which, by tho
most careful observation and computa.
tion, was found at tho time of tho coun-
oil of Nice to have fallen on the 21st of
March; hence if the full moon falls on
the 22d of March, and this 22d of March
is Saturday, the next day will be tho
first Sunday after the full moon, and it
will be Easter Sunday. But suppose the
full moon should fall on the goth of
March, this moon will not be considered
the Easter moon, but tho next full moon
twenty-nine days later, which will be the
Paschal moon. Now, should this 18th of
April be Sunday, Easter would be on
the following Sunday, or the 825th of
April. Easter, therefore, can be no earlier
than tho 23d of March nor later than tho
25th of April.
Tho vernal equinox this year took place
on tho 2lst of March. The first full moon
after this date is on the Sd of April.
Easter, therefore, is ON tho 7th.

Negro Preacher Killed.

Rcv. James Walker, a negro preacher,
was shot and almost instantly killed by
Dan Smith, negro rough, at Central
Sunday night at $50 o'clock.
Walker was standing in the street near
the Wesleyan Methodist church, of
which he was pastor, talking with a
clorcd friend. Dan Smith and some
negro women, who were related to
Walker, camo by the church and Smith
was cursing tho women with all sorts of
vile epithets.
Upon learning who the women were,
Walker stopped Smith and demanded an
explanation, reprimanding him severely
for his conduct. This greatly incenscd
Smith and he at once pulled his 38-
calibrc pistol from his rear pocket and
began firing at Walker. Ono shot took
effect just above the left eye. Walker
fell to tho ground. He died about
twenty minutes afterwards.
Immediately after tho shooting Smith
left for parts unknown. A crowd of
men was soon organized and started in
pursuit of the fleeing negro with pack
OF blood hounds, but SO far thcy have
not boon able to locate him.
The coroner of Pickons county held an
inquest over the dead body of Walker
yesterday morning. The verdict of tho
jury was that James Walker camo to his
death from pistol shot wound in the
hands of Dan Smith.
1t is said that Walker was a good
negro and highly respected by both tho
white and colorcd population of Central.
llc was pastor of the Wesleyan church
and quite popular with his congregation.
Smith, on the other hand, has tho
reputation of being n tough character,
wild and reckless. 1t is reported that
Smith was drunk when he did the shoot
ing. The friends of Walker are very
indignant over the occurrence and
should they be able to catch Smith it
would not be well with him.

COL. MosBY AS A POLITICIAN.
his Remarkahlo Ideas About the Negroes, the
South In GoneraI and Richmond In Particular.

y. sH
Now York, April LIN it's forthcoming
issue Leslie's Weekly will print a paper
by Col. John S. Mosby, the famous Con-
federate raider, on the "Dawn of the
Real South" in which he says
"The real South is just at its birth.
The growth Of this child of the nation
may be gradual, but in the end the South
Will be far richer and more powerful than
the North. In the days to come the
South will become the dominant section
of the country.
without the war of secession the
South could never have hoped to attain
the future that is now certain. Slavery
was great incubus, paralyzing natural
energy. BY abolishing this wrong our
war benefited every State south of the
Mason and Dixon line. The negroes arc
producing moro as freemen than they
over did as slaves, and the great mass of
tho people are better off to-day than
they were under the old ante -bellum sys-
tom.
Socially, as we'll as industrally, tho
abolition of slavery was highly beneficial
in its results to tho masses, for slavery
was great wrong, and no community
can exist in tho highest state of happi-
ness when it's systems are based on n
wrong.
"Thero are the soundest reasons for
asserting that tho negro's status is bound
to improve While they are as near to
equality to white people as they we're
under the system of slavery. thoy are
certain to be absorbed by immigration,
and in this engulfmont they will disap-
pear. This is the natural and wisost So
luton of what wo now call tho race
problem
"Richmond is the city most likoly to
become in time the banking centre and
commercial headquarters of this coun-
try, and therefore of tho world. Tho
days OF that famous old city as politi-
cal Capital arc past, but its career as tho
central point of manufacture for tho
whole South, and from thore for tho
world at large, is just beginning.
"Whilo great forces have been working
for tho change, industrially and socially,
tho political change is hardly less mark
cd. 1t is we'll nigh folly to-day to speak
of the Solid South That, by tho way,
was phrase of my own invention.
When Hayes became tho Republican can
didate for President urged in letter
august, 1S70,) that it was better for
somo Southern men to support him, be-
cause, if ho was elected, his administra-
ton must necessarily rest on whatever
supported it. 1t was better for tho
Southern people to divide between the
parties, so that, no matter which side
won, there would be mon friendly to
Southern people who would control it's
Southern policy. This contention is
fully realized to-day, and the Solid
south belongs wholly to tho political

John Hay Still Buying War.

Tho Spanish Minister, Duke d'Arcos,
received this week from Secretary OF
State John Hay a treasury warrant for
100000 for which the United States re-
ccivcd from Spain tho final ccssion of
"any and all islands of Philippine archi-
pelago lying outside of the line described
in Article of tho treaty of peace with
Spain.'
In plain English, this means that we
have bought more war from Spain. Not
satisfied with that which we already
have on hand and which has been keep
ing 5000 men under arms since 1898. we
are now in tho market for more islands
and more war. The transaction adds
the islands of Cagayan-Sulu and Sibitu
to the possessions of the United States.
which means moro troublesome savage
populations to keep subdued, more
polygamy and more soldiers under arms
to garrison them.-Atlanta News, March
