SYMPATHY US. LAW.

WHEN court, with twelve ju.
rymen and a judge convict
man, after hearing the evidence,
if this not final, why not abolish
the courts and let the judges re-
tire, and save the expenses of the
courts. Col. Neal was tried and
convicted of violation of the laws
of this state and should serve his
just sentence. Because be was at
one time prominent in politics.
and because prominent citizens"
from all over the state "think 'he'
has been punished enough, ,"sign a
petition for executive clemeIcy, he
must be pardoned. If prominent
people are to overrule the COURTS
decisions, we say that politics and
influential citizens should take
the place of the courts. It does
not mean much to be convicted in
a court nowadays, for after being
sentenced, all that is necessary is
for "prominent citizens" to sign a
petition for pardon and, present
it,after having served a part of the
sentence. The more money and in
fuence you possess the easier it
is. If a man is guilty when on
trial, he is just as guilty after SER
wing half his sentence. Abide by
the courts decision or abolish the
courts. If it is right to have them,
it is right to respect their findings.
Justice should overrule sympathy.
There are others who are as guilty
as Neal, but Neal has been con-
victsd and they have not. The
"prominent citizens" do not favor
letting the law take it's course, but
put up their opinions as superior.
to that of the court.

BE NOT ETVIOUS.

"Edgefeld county is almost as
modest a county as Atlanta is q
city. Atlanta wants money and
advertising and Edgefeld has an
overpowering desire for office,
which desire has never been con-
cealed. Amputation did Lot cure
and the few red hills remaining
produce luxuriant crops of can
didates. DR.. w H Zimmerman,
who has been in office many years,
is said to be a candidate for gov
ernor and the county already has
three Or four. There are six men
in that county who are definitely
out for something the size of a
pubernatorial or congressional
prize, besides the rising young
| LAWYERS who want to be solicitor.
Edge6eld has more representatives
on the democratic executive COM
mittee than any other county and
it might be we'll for them to rule
the others out and have the next
campaign centered in Edgefeld,
where about half the candidates

The motive that prompted the
above article is not pure. The ar
ticle plainly shows the enyious
spirit of jealousy towards Edge
field because she has some of the
brainiest, ablest, and most compe-
tent citizens from which to select
officers. The fact that che has so
many representatives is conclu-
siye evidence that they have the
executive ability. Edgefeld has

ing young lawyers" who want to
be solicitor, and the ''six men who
are definitely out for something
the size of a gubernatorial or con-
gressional prize" Do like Edge
feld-have no desire to conceal"
facts There is plenty of good ma
tefial to select from in Edgefeld if
your suggestion should be carried
out and the campaign centered
in Edgefeld." We do not want
that done, but had rather 60 be-
fore the people and show Edge
fields ability. Once an employer
advertised for "a smart business
man" to take charge of his affairs,
and beardless youth applied at
the office to secure the position.
The employer said "what, a young
man like you want to take charge OF
my business; you have no beard on
your face ?" The youth replied:
:" If it is brains you want take me,
but if it's hair you want, get you a
billy goat" He was employed.
Some people are SO narrow-mind nded
that a county line is as far as they
can see. Moral If you want
men of ability go get them wherev-
or they be. Look at their ability,
and not where they reside.

VERY INDIFFERENT.

"The course of events has
shown itself to be extremely
indifferent as to the reputa-
ton of the prophets"
This same sentiment might
be aptly used in reference to
the relation of the public to
the newspaper. For instance.
a man about town will declare
to you that on-such a day he
most positively will leave
town and enjoy the glories OF
the Pan American exposition
in Buffalo. The paper so
states it, for the cdifcation of
the public and through COM
pliment to the individual, and
mayhap, if he be an Edgeield
man to give the exposition au-
thorities fair warning of his
coming, that suitabic prepa-
rations may be made in But
falo, against his arrival
when-lo, and behold, just as
the paper is being issued, that
same person is seen leisurely
walking around town, as if he
had never even so much as
heard of Buffalo, and worst
OF all, as. if he never cared a
straw about the reliability Of

Rev. 0sgOod II. Cook, Pastor of
Grace Church, Goes to Dawson.
The fact that all of the Methodist
ministers of Savannah, whose terms
had not expired by limitation, would
come back to Savannah, made public
yesterday when the South Georgia
Conference made known its assign
ments, was received with undoubted
satisfaction in Savannah. The rumor
that Rev. Ed F. Cook, pastor of Wes-
ley Monumental Church, was to be
transferred, had caused much uneasi-
ness among his congregation and other
friends and it was distinct relief to
them to find that the rumor was un-
founded.
Not only will Rev. Mr.. Cook return
to Wesley for another year, but Rev.
Bascom Anthony will be returned to
Trinity, and Rev. J. A. Smith to Ep-
worth Church. Rev. Osgood f. Cook,
pastor of Grace Church, whose term
has expired, has been assigned to
Dawson. The Grace Church pastorate
will be filed by Rev. Charles A. lack
son, Eden, L. e. Waters and Isle of
Hope, by Rev. II. p. Stubbs. The new
presiding elder of the Savannah dis
trict will be Rev. T. d. Ellis. He sue
ceedes Rev. John A. Thompson, whose
term has expired.
Rev. Mr.. Jackson, the new pastor of
Grace is young minister, who for the
past two years has been in charge of
the church at Fort Gaines. He has a
wife and children. 1t is expected that
all of the Savannah ministers will
reach the city to-day. Rev. Osgood F..
Cook will spend a week or so here be-
fore leaving for his new charge.
