We wish TO commend the letter of
-. p. s., to be found in another
column, N which the writer makes
some strong points in favor of small
er juries to try civil cases, which
proposition was considered by the
constitutional convention. We be-
heve the intlligent sentiment of the
State is IN favor of smaller juries,
and in miidemeanor cases of major
itY verdice. We are sorry to say,
but we believe some men who serve
on juries are often controlled by the
friendship for or prejudice against
lawyers retained in cases which they
are to dec.de,regardlsss of the merits
and evidence in the case. These two
new innovations would to large extern
remove the influence such Juror
exert in rendering verdicts, and we
hope our constitutional convention
Will eventually engraft them in the
new organic law.

A Woman's Question.

Do you know you have asked for the
costliest thing
Ever made by the hand above
A woman's heart and woman's life
And a woman's wonderful love?
Did you know you have asked for this
priceless thing
AS child might ask for a toy?
Demanding what others have died TO
win.
With reckless dash of boy.
You have written my lesson of duty out
Man like you have questioned me
Now stand at the bar of my women's soul
o.. Until i shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always
be hot,
Your socks and your shirts shall be
whole;
l require your heart TO be true as God
stars,
And as pure as heaven your soul.
You require cook for your mutton,
and beef;
require far better thing;
seamstress you're wanting for
stockings and shirts,
look for man and king.
A king for beautiful realm called home
And man that the maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did at first,
And say, at is good"
am fair and young, but the rose will
fade
From my soft, young cheek one day;
Will you love me then mid the falling
leaves,
AS you did mid the bloom of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and
deep
| may launch my ali on its tide?
A loving women finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made bride.
/ require all things that are good and
true,
All things that a man should be;
If you give this all, / would stake my
life
To be all you demand Of me.
If you can not do this-a laundress and
cook
You can hire with little to pay:
But women's heart and women's life
Are not TO be won that way.

Gov. Tyler, of Virginia, tells an
lnterestlngstory about the late Pres
ident Mckinley. The Governor was
standing by the side of the President
as the latter reviewed a procession of
Union Veterans. AS they passed the
President said tibet if there was s
Confederate veteran beside each
Union soldier he would be happy.
1t was his dearest wish, he added,
that the sectional line between
North and South should disappear.
This was a noble aspiration, and
the aspiration of a true patriot
No one has accomplished more to-
wardthe extinction of bitter sectional
ism than did Mr.. Mckinley. The
people of the South understood this,
and that is one of the reasons why
their grief over the "deep damnatior
of his taking off, is so profound.

HANGED HIMSELF
TO Tree While Enroute For
Wedding Suit.
Strange Action Of Young Man
on Morning of His We'd
ding Day.

Morganfeld, KY. Jan. s.
Timothy McCarty a young farmer
about p years of age, was found
hanging to a tree at the roadside
early this morning about four miles
above Uniontown. McCarty lived
in the Coon Flats, I'd about 4
o clock this morning started to
Uniontown to get his wedding suit,
as he had intended marrying a
Miss Sizemorc this afternoon.
Form Uniontown he was to come to
this city to get the necessary license.
An uncle of the young man says he
had 500 in his pocket when he
started from home, but when mis-
body was found there were only
three or four dollars in his pockets.
1t was first reported that Nc
Ca-ty had been murdered and rob-
bed, and then swung to limb to
AhohO IL AOOh 90 IL nC ndu COluulIlCu
suicide. Word was sent here and
the officers left imm .diately with
bloodhounds, but the services of the
dogs were not needed as an exami-
nation showed that McCarty had
committed suicide instead OF having
been murdered. He had started to
town on mule, and it was with the
rope bride that he hanged himself.
While all the evidence available
points to suicide there is a deep
mystery surrounding the tragedy,
McCartY, is is said, had no bad
habits, and it therefore seems
strange that he would take his lif,
Ion the morning of his wedding day
This missing money also adds t.
the mystery surrounding.the case
mccarthy expected to go to Louis
vile Immediately after his marriag,
to work in railroad shop there.

FREE DELIVERY
For Portion of Christian Lying
South Of City.
Service WIZ Begin AS Soon as
rIail Boxes Can be Put
Up.

Christian county, or at least a
portion of it, will certainly have
free rural delivery within the next
few days. Government Inspector
]. S. Rathbone, of Washington, d.
.C., was here Tuesday and went
over the proposed route for free ru-
raj delivery in a portion of South
east Christian. The length of the
route is 20 miles, and figuring on a
basis of five for each head of a fami-
ly, population of about 900 will be
served. The free delivery route
starts from Hopkinsville and ex-
tends down the Nashville pike to
the Bradshaw pike: then down that
pike to r. H. Kelly farm; from the
latter it runs back to the Bolivar
road, thence to Bolivar, and up the
Clarksville and Hopkinsville pike
back to the city.
The contract for carrying the
mail has been let to MIR. Elorldge
Bradshaw at $500 per annum. This
is the amount allowed by the Govern
ment tor the work and it is proba-
BILE that an additional sum will be
provided for the carrier. The sys-
tenn will be put in operation as
soon as the mail boxes to be used on
the rural route arrive. AS the order
was sent in to Washington City the
first of the week 1t is likely thai
that they will reach this city ano
be put up some time next week.

BUGGIES CLASH.
Both Vehicles Torn up But Occu-
pants Not Injured.

A runaway collision that came
near resulting fatally to Jack Wolf,
a young man residing near the CITY,
created quite a sensation on Main
street about seven o'clock Wednes-
day evening. a buggy and pair of
horses from Hammond's Livery
Stable at Gracey, managed to get
looee.from a negro left to hold hold
them in front OF a store on West
Seventh street, and coming down
Main at a terrible speed, came lin
contact with buggy driven by
Mr.. Wolfe. who had turned into
Main from East Ninth street at the
National Bank corner. The rum
away team came up behind Wolf
before he could get out of the way,
and overturned his buggy, the pole
striking it, while the horses were
pulled around it. Wolfe's horse
had gotten loose and he was thrown
out in front of his buggy, where he
would have been tramped to death
by the Hammond team, had not the
harness broken and let them Rose.
1t was a narrow escape, but no one
was hurt, though both buggies
were badly torn up.
