what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to pills?"
Our answer is: They are easier and
more pleasant to take, more mild and
gentle in effect and more reliable as
they a always be depended upon.

within tie shadow of the gallows,'
he said.
as the voice of Thome rang through
the hall like a trumpet.
1T isn't what o expected, is it Mr..
Lawyer Howard? You thought because
she told the truth about me you'd get
me here to maybe swear her life away.
And you thought your brides would
make me do it. Why. Judge, this mar
offered me my life to go back on her.
He told me he could handle the gov
ernor like a child and that he'd make
him sign a pardon If I'd say she put
me up to it. AS If twenty lives and
pardons could ever make me do that"
Then he turned toward the jail Of
ficials. 81 am DONE he said, I'VE
might as well go back"
The assemblage was quiet for a mo-
ment, and then someone with a finer
appreciation of dramatic effect than
decorum proposed three cheers and the
hall rang with instant clamor. 1t was
an uproar too vast for the efforts CT
the court officials to suppress. 1t wns
the glorifcation OF what was regarded
as u%ndoubted perjury and OF a convi.,-
ed murderer-but Of one who had bs-
come a hero because, despite all bribes.
he had shielded and screened the
woman who had betrayed him.
She did not ever give him a glance
as he was led out. Her whole soul
was concentrated in the expression Of
smiling ~insolence with which she ia
vored the outraged prosecutor. 1t was
q smile that later became a badge OF
triumph as the twelve good men and
true delivered the verdict Of acquittal
hat enabled her to leave the court
room-an Innocent Proclaimed. 1t
should be added. however, that there
was a disposition to enlarge upon the
theme Of ingratitude among the groups
that delayed to gossip in the court
house yard, and that in the evening
the gentlemen Of the jury called upon
the indicated widow and suggested
the advisability of her prompt depart
ure from st. Anne's.
And two weeks later the county seat
again became a Mecca. 1t was the
day set for expiation, and the natives
had begun to jog into town hours be-
fore sunrise. There was something
than merely morbid curiosity in
the throng that clustered about the lit
tie Jail yard, and swarmed over the
hillside at its rear. and the belief that
Thome in this last scene would prove
worthy Of the prestige he had earned
was fully realized. 1t was a crowd
that fingered thoughtfully long after
justice had been done and that nodded
approvingly at an observation of the
sherifs.

paused an instant. and there was a
slight smile upon his face as he met
the gaze OF the prosecutor. "Nobody's
guilty for the murder of Jim Haskell
but me. and she-she's as innocent-as

The crowc was fairly stunned by this
unexpected declaration. That anything
less than an discriminating disclosure

SUBSTITUTE FOR LYNCHlNG.

The South Carolina legislature re-
Gently passed a law which may go far
towards reducing the number Of lynch
ings in the south, should other states
where lynchings mostly occu, enact
the same legislation. Under this law
the circuit courts are authorized to
hold special sessions for the trial Of
persons charged with criminal assault.
The first Isl under the law was tried
in Florence county on March 81.
A negro was arrested for the crime
above mentioned and taken to the
county jail. The crowd was clamor-
Jus for lynching him, but the authori-
ties convened a special session of the
court on Monday morning, the 31st ult.
In a half hours time a special grand
jury had returned an indictment. All
without delay. The prisoner had com
petent counsel appointed for him and
every benefit Of court. He was clearly
proved guilty and sentenced to be
hanged on April rs.
The usual excuse for lynching is the
uncertainty and delay Of justice in the
courts. No such charge could apply to
this case. In a few hours the wretch
was tried, proved guilty, and sentenced
to be hanged. He had every privilege
the law comedies to a man charged
with crime and every detail of his trial
was in compliance with law. The
swiftness and certainty Of justice in
this case were apparent even to those
who had been most in favor Of lynch
ing the prisoner. They expressed
their entire satisfaction with the pro-
ceedings. 1t is now safe to assume
that there will be few lynchings in
South Carolina after such an object
lesson in the operation Of justice un-
der the new Law as that in Florence
county, and If in Florence county, s.
c., why not in every other county Of
every other southern state? Perhaps
a little %expediting Of the process Of
Justice might have a similar effect in
some of the northern states. It would
be worth trying in any event. There
are many signs in the south that pub
lie sentiment as to this matter of mob
murders is changing and that the dis
position to look to the courts for the
punishment of crime is gaining ground.
Such an occasion as that in Florence
county will still further strengthen
public sentiment and may perhaps
suggest the general adoption of this
excellent substitute for the folly and
brutality Of mob law.-Chicago Tri.
