Are Hiding In the Woods.
Pierce City, Mo-, Aug. 21.-For near
ly Is hours, ending about noon yester-
day, this town of 5000 people has been
in the hands of mob of armed whites,
determined to drive every negro from
its precincts. In addition to the lynch
ing on Monday night of William God
ley, accused of the wantOn murder of
Miss Gazelle Wild, and the shooting to
death of his grandfather, French God
ley, the mob yesterday cremated Peter
Hampton, an aged negro, in his home,
set the torch to the houses of five
blacks, and with the aid of state mill
tia rifles, stolen from the local COM
pany's arsenal, drove dozens Of ne
groes from town. After noon the ex-
element died down, the mob gradually
dispensing, more from lack of negroes
upon whom to wreak their hatresyIhan
from any other cause.a many of the
negroes who fed the city are hiding
in the surrounding woods, while 9TH
ers have gone greater distances in
seeking safety
Every negro has left the town except
few railway pOrters known to be re-
spectacle, but these must also leave.
The citizens of Pierce City say that as
negroes have committed several crimes
in the last ten years none shall live
there in the future. The same feeling
already exists at Monet, four miles
east of Pierce City, and the end of the
/ Frisco passenger division. It may be-
necessary for the road to change all
porters in Springfield hereafter.
New elements in the killing on sun
day afternoon of Miss Wild have de-
veloped today. 1t appears that she
started for home alone, her brother
lingering behind About one mile from
town the brother found her with her
throat cut, lying lifeless near a culvert
under which her assailant had attempt
ed to drag her. Evidence Of a terrible
struggle was shown. A cOpper-colOred
negro was seen sitting on the bridge a
short time before the tragedy occurred.
1t is supposed that the negro sprang
upon her when she was passing and
attempted to force her beneath the
bridge. She probably fought with such
desperation that he could not accom-
plish his purpose, and cut her throat
in the struggle.

Constitutional Convention.

The Constitutional Convention de
voted much time to discussion OF a
resolution offered by Mr.. Quarles pro-
viding that section s of the judiciary
report, providing "a court circuits, be
recommitted.
The feature was discussion between
Messrs. Quarles and Braxton over the
question of retaining a city court in
Staunton. Mr.. Quarles said be did not
think Staunton needed corporation
court; that no business man of Staun-
ton wanted it, and the court was kept
up to give the judge an office. He de-
clared that the committee had forced
a court on Staunton that the people did
not want. He then criticized the eigh
tenth circuit, composed of Rocking
ham. Augusta and Rockbridge coun
ties. and commended that no one judg'
could transact the business of that cir
cult.
Mr.. Quarles insisted that wha
Stanton and other cities of her siz
needed and wanted was circuit cour
which could transact all the bushes
and would not require the cities to pa.
the salaries.
Mr.. Braxton opposed the propositio
advocated by Judge Quarles. He sal
| the people of his city wanted the pres
ent city court retained, and read, l
support of his position, a memoirs
from members of the bar, the cit
council of StauntOn and others.
The motion made by Judge Quarlt
to recommit this section was ovel

HiqhIand News Notes

Mr.. Robert IRVINE, who, for ten or
twelve years has driven the four-horse
team run by V. B. Bishop between
Monterey and Stanton, had what he
terms ''close call'' last week on Shen-
audoah mountain. While coming down
the mountain with heavy load, and
when rounding the horseshoe turn, one
of the horses in Mr.. Ervine's team fell
on the ice and broke off the tongue OF
the wagon. Mr.. Ervine's long expert
ence as a wagner, and his presence OF
mind, enabled him to do the right thing
promptly and thus avert a serious dis
aster. With the aid of his we'll trained
saddle horse, he succeeded in heading
the fore wheels toward the bank
where he anchored until a new tongue
could be improVised.

milan canal to get rich. 1t will posi-
lively be the best paying institution
the government ever invested in. Ii
we only had two or three more OF those
canals that we could build, our entire
burden of taxation would be lifted.
The reason Mr.. J. P. Morgan does not
build this canal himself is, that he Will

FRIDAY. DEC. ID.
THE ELECTION OF JUDGES.

With all due regard for the foresight
and wisdom of the majority OF 1he
Virginia Convention, the determine
tion to let the Legislature elect Tue
indees. seems to us the gravest depar-
ture from Republican principles YET
announced by that body.
No argument has been advanced III
favor of such an election that does not
apply with equal force to every other
officer in the State. One advocate OF
the Legislatures electlng the Judiciary
said that be did not want to see
Judge compelled to pass sentence on a
man who by his vote might probably
throw that very Judge out of office.
The pictue drawn was sad one. He
seemed to see the judge quall1ng before
his electorate.
The idea never has seemed to dawn
on the convention that such an election
ia reflection upon the men to be Sc
lected as Judges. Are they weaker than
other people2 Will judge quail be-
fore his electorate any sooner than
any other officer? Why must such
safeguards be placed about this pecu'
liar officer? They say they do mol
want a Judge to be shaking hands with
the people and going about election
eering. II a judge cannot do this nc
man cana sheriff nor a justice OF the
peace. Certainly governor cannot
and 80 cannot many other high func
tionaries. 1t is argued that the Leg
islature Is not fit to elect a U. 3. Sena
tor, and yet in the same breath we ar
told that this is the very body to cleo
all of our judges.
1t has long betn doubted whether tn
Legislature ought to possess any cleo
tive franchise, whether this rlgn
should not be placed in the people en-
tirely. We do know one thing-an
this is meant for no reflection on an
Legislator-that the average Leglsls
tor is no more fit to choose a Judg
than the average voter, ana TO entrus
him with such function seems to r.
fleet not on the people, but on the PEI
son to be chosen. The cry has bee
that the PEOPLE should not be give
this power because of their likelihoo
