 From the Athens Democrat. Indications and predictions are. now that we will have a hard winter.

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
 Ashville, Ala- has distinguished itself by its treatment of mob bent on lynch ing negro. Coming on the heels of the disgraceful affair in Pierce City, Mo-. the action of the sheriff's posse of Ashville in defending the negro prisoner whose life was sought can hardly fail to have a salutary lesson in the South. What is most needed in the lawless communities which give rein to their passions, is prac- tical demonstration that they will have to bear the responsibility for their con- duct at the hands of the law-abiding pub lie if their own authorities are unable or unwilling to enforce the law. This will be best done by discriminating in favor of places in which the seeds of civilization are seen to have borne fruit. No one can doubt, for example, that a business man contemplating an invest ment in the South would not hesitate for moment to choose Ashville rather than Pierce City. Wherever the law Is held in contempt capital and all property are unsafe.

ALABAMA HANDLING LYNcHERs

From the Jacksonville Times-Union.
 Alabama is making a record which we hope to soon see the other Southern States initiate A few days ago sheriff saved his prisoner from mob at the risk of his own life. Our dispatches publish ed yesterday chronicled battle of the officers In defense of prisoner against a mob attempting to lynch him, in which the mob was driven off and one of it's leaders was killed and another wounded, and this morning we publish the news that ten indictments have been found against participants in a lynching. If this should continue, lynch law will be- come of infrequent use in Alabama. Lynch law has failed to suppress crime If for no other reason the laws of the land should be given a chance.
 It is a fact worthy of note that in no contest between the officers of the law and mobs have the former been worsted, If experience up to date proves anything 1t proves that sheriffs can defend their prisoners If they will. They are sworn to discharge their duties and they should observe their oaths, however heinous the crime of the prisoners may be.
 A constitutional convention is now sit- ting In Alabama called principally for the purpose of decreasing the negro's in- fiuence in politics Measures were pro- posed before that convention looking to the suppression of lynching In discussing | these measures it was proposed that as the political power of the negro was to be reduced he should be given greater protection. The officials of the State seem to have caught the spirit of this proposition and to be acting on 1t.
 It Is very rare that men have been lynched who did not deserve death but cases have been known where mistakes have been discovered too late for their rectifcation. It Is getting to be not in frequent that men are lynched for offenses certainly not the most heinous and unless the officials do their duty lynchings for trivial offenses will become more common. We congratulate our neighbor on the progress she is making in her work for law and order and predict great results from what has already been done.

early next week. In that event much corn will be destroyed in the bottoms of Madison, Morgan, Limestone, Marshall and Lauderdale counties. Such rains have seldom occurred in the summer months and the planters of bottom lands are i'll prepared. It will require much activity to get the live stock out of the wood- lands along the Tennessee river and un- less they are removed the loss will be heavy. The high wind of Thursday night was very destructive to corn.

The man wrote his note and sealed II.
After telling the maid to be sure to see

ASTERS.

Walled in with fire on either hand
l walk the lonely wooi-road thro';
The naples flame above my head,
And spaces whence the wind has shed
About my feet the living red.
Are filed with broken blue.
And crowding close along the way
The purple asters blossom free;
In full profusion far and wide.
They I'LL the path on every side.
In loose confusion multiplied
To endless harmony.
The autumn wood the aster knows,
The empty nest. the wind that grieves,
The sunlight breaking thro the shade.
The squirrel chattering overhead,
The timid rabbits lighter tread
Among the rustling leaves
And stiIl beside the shadowy glen
She holds the color Of the skies;
Along the purpling wayside steep
She hangs her fringes passing deep.
And meadows drowned in happy sleep
Are lit by starry eyes.
