THE WEATHER.

SHOWERS AND COOLER SUNDAY; MONDAY PARTLY CLOUDY; FRESH SOUTHWESTERN WINDS.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1901-09-13

The Elks Carnival Company we
think should establish rule and insist
upon its observance, that no man must
throw confettie in the face of lady
with whom he is not acquainted. A
lady may endure such rudeness, but she
does not enjoy it. No gentleman will
be guilty of it, and the Elks should
protect their lady visitors from the
rude behavior of uncouth men. AS
between acquaintance, those who like
the confettie folly may play it; but it is
asking too much of lady to invite her
to place and then submit her to such
rudeness as these confettie fiends are
sometimes guilty of. The management
should do their best to regulate the
confettie throwing, and the police should
take special pains to assist them; and
we submit to Judge Erwin that proper
ruling for him to make by way of in
structions to the police would be that
the throwing of confettie will be con.
sidered as the first lick, if any one
chooses to resent it.

Senator Platt of New York advocates
lynch law in dealing with the would be
assassin of President Mckinley. Sena-
tor Platt has lived great many years
meyer to have learned that two wrongs
do not make right. Anarchism can
not thrive In this country. Its revolt
ing crimes so shock the people that every
time it raises its hideous head they
strike it to the earth. But that form of
murder which Senator Platt advocates
has found fruitful soil in this country,
and is constant and growing menace
to our government. 1t is cancer upon
our body polite which, left to run its
course will Undermine our constitution
and leave us prey to anarchism and
all other isms of the lawless. The an
archist is not so deadly or dangerous an
enemy to law and order and good gov
eminent, as is Judge Lynch and his de-
graded or deluded followers.

He of the unpronounceable name-the

dive. He is the product of the saloon
Not an unnatural product, either. The
boy who from his earliest infancy has
been used to ribald oaths, and by the
precept and example of his father and
his fathers chums is taught to disobey
all law and hate law makers, naturally
enough grows to be an anarchist in faith
ana murderer at heart. The way to
rid this country of their dangerous pres
ence, is to stop their breeding places. If
there we're no saloons, there would be nc

pathetic picture the correspondent

been made. This is the same man
who attempted only few months ago
to steal laurels which belonged to

A hardware trust is soliciting option
on the Nashville hardware houses
Not long ago they tried to enfold
all the department stores of all the
cities into one big trust; and but for
John Wannamaker would have sue
ceeded. 1t is this way: With all man.
ner of hardware belonging to one trust
and another, and all those trusts of kin;
and then all hardware houses in trust,
they can fix the prices just right, don't
you see. And when the Trust has made
success of the hardware business, will
its promoters be content? Is it their
nature TO be content? Or will they
seek the dry goods business, or the
grocery business, or some other business
to devour. And when they have en-
compassed the towns and cities in their
deadly coil, is it any stretch of the
imagination to conclude that they will
reach cut after cheap farming lands and
seek to raise their own hay and corn
ard wheat and cotton? Anarchy
Why anarchy is but a bug, bear com
pared to the real danger the Trust evil
threatens. There can be no free re-
public, no independence among the peo-
pie. and but little patriotism if the
wealth of the country belongs to few,
and the business thereof is managed by
hired agents of soulless corporations.

GOD SAVE THE PRESIDENT.
From Fridays Daily Herald.I

From Fridays Daily Hernldl
In such an hour as this political lines
are entirely obliterated and all the peo-
pie pray God save the President"
We hope the would be assassin will
prove to be a man demented. That
would relieve the deed of much of its
horror Sad at best, but let us hope
that no man possessed of his right mind
could be so totally depraved, so fatally
bent on mischief, so cruel, merciless
and bloodthrsty as to commit so wicked
and unprovoked a crime.
When Booth killed Lincoln, not alone
the condition of his mind but the excit-
ed, turbulent condition of the times
had much to do with 1T. We had just
waded through bloody fratracidal war,
and human life was cheap Prejudice
and hate and passion inf1amed the pub
lie mind. Influenced by those unhappy
conditions, the morbid mind of the &C
tor took hold of tragic part he was to
play upon the stage of history, and his
cruel bullet brought to most untime-
ly end the life of a truly great man.
The assassination of President Gar
field was the act of crazy man, and
unless the attempt upon President Nc
Kinley's life shows some such palliation,
it has nothing at all to rob it of it's
horror. The country is united, peace
prevails, and the chief magistrate is a
man no less renowned for his tender,
kind and affectionate nature than for
his intellectual strength and stateman-
ship.
While we deplore the deed, let us
hope that it was the mad act of an in
sane mind. Let us think as long as we
may that this country does not contain
a creature in his right mind, SO vile and
mean, cruel and wicked, degenerate and
low, as to commit 30 objectionable and
unproyoked a crime.
Let us hope as long as we may. Blu

under the law be meted out to ever.

HWe truSt in Cod and haliave Mr.

"We trust in God and believe Mr.
Mckinley is going to recover speedily"
says Mrs. Mckinley. That is an ex-
preston to be admired. First, for it's
trust in God; second that it speaks of
"Mr," Mckinley. A woman of less
faith would have given all the credit to
the learned surgeons; and woman of
less delicacy would have prated about
the president" But Mrs. Mckinley
displays her simple trust in God, and a
modest and altogether proper apprecia
ton of her position, by the words she
chooses. Others may rely upon the skill
of surgeons; but she gives the glory to
God. Others may pray and tremble for
their Chief Executives; but to her he is
plain Mr.. Mckinley, the patient, de-
voted husband and life time companion.

THE HERALD's NEWS SERVICE

That the Columbia Daily Herald is
somewhat of newspaper was proven
Friday evening by the full and COM
plete manner in which it handled the
attempted assassination of President
Mckinley at Buffalo.
According to Eastern time the Presi
dent was shot at 4 o'clock p. m. and at
4:30 o'clock by Columbia time the
Daily Herald gave the news in its
regular edition. At $50 in an extra,
we gave full and complete account of
the assassination, eclipslng any of the
afternoon papers of Nashville, which in
their second editions, contained only the
meagre report which the Herald had
published an hour and half previous.
The Herald's extra edition contained a
perfect account, complete in every
detail, of the calamity; and practically
the same news as was contained in the
larger dailies the next morning.
The Herald is highly gratified at the
expressions of appreciation which were
spoken of its handling of this great
news item. Columbia needs just such a
paper as the Daily Herald, and we are
glad our efforts are appreciated. We are
proud to feel that the Herald meets a
necessity in Columbia, and that the PEG
pie realize and appreciate it, and are
sustaining it with their good will and
liberal support.

Mr.. Davis has opened the vein and
though still practically undeveloped it

the full extent of the vein has not been
ascertained. Since that time he has

The mining interests Of Williamson
