LYNcHINes ARE ALL WRONG.

From the Nashville Banner.
 There can be no doubt that the lynch ings are greatly detrimental to the south internally and externally. They cause de- morallzation and contempt of the law and produce a bad feeling between the races, and they advertise the south to the world as place to be summed because of the lawlessness and the supposed ter rible possibilities of its race problem. The south owes 1t to itself to suppress

WHAT A CONVENTION WILL DO. From the Tuscumbia Dispatch

The demand for a general primary, a white Democratic primary, Is gaining re- cruits every day. Even the candidates for primary. A primary election will solidify the Democratic party but con- vention will cause the greatest split ever known in the state.

This. however, is manifestly incorrect. Every man, woman and child within 15o miles of the Isthmus must work day and night and on legal holidays in order to supply the demand for hats. The world is crying for Panama hats and the Central Americans appear to be fully equal to the occasion.
