NJ 81,
DIED. Mr.. Richard Sanderson was
found dead in his chair Saturday
morning, death having come without
struggle. Mrs. Sanderson had lett
him only few moments, and al
though he had been in bad health tor
some time it was not thought that he
would be taken so suddenly. Funer-
al services were held at the residence
Sunday afternoon and the remains
laid to rest in Mt Hope cemetery.
Mr. Sanderson came to Southern
Pines about a year ago from New
York and with his wife conducted
very successfully boarding house in
the Newhall cottage, corner Bennett
street and New Hampshire avenue.
His wife has the sympathy of many
friends in her distress.
We are pleased to have with us
again Prof. j. G. Shulz, who comes
as principal of our public school, and
who, with his wife and baby, arrived
last Saturday night Prof. Shulz was
with the school two years ago, COM
ing here from North Collins, N. Y.
He comes now from Southport, N. G.,
where he has been spending the sum-
mer. Prof. Shulz is very fond Of his
baby girl, who is just II weeks old,
and IS looking for cottage for KEEP
ing house through the season.
w. D. Bruhn has gone to Texes-
much to the regret of his many friends
in this section. He was for long
time proprietor of the Southern Pines
Bakery, and has been prominent as a
K. P, and was one of our most wor-
thy citizens. The boys gave him a
good send off at the train, and would
be glad to see him return soon with
three oil wells and nine gold mines in
his possession.

Doe Embarrassed Mr. Dockstader

Manager Dockstader, of Docksta-
ders Theatre. is lover OF cunning,
and has one of the finest and most
sensible bird dogs in Wilmington.
The animal loves the field and will
not miss a cunning trip If he can help
it. When going on a cunning trip
MI Dockstader usually leaves his
home in a carriage, and the dog usu-
ally is the first in the vehicle. This
wac always considered a smart caper
until a few days ago when this little
carriage jumping trick caused Mr.
Dcckstader and a bridal party some
embarrassment
There was a wedding in st. An
drew's Church. at Eighth and Shipley
streets. and Mr.. Dockstader followed
by his dog sauntored up the street to
the church to see the party come out.
Doggie was watching matters and
evidently concluded that there was a
big hunting trip on foot, and kept on
the alert.
When the bride and groom came
from the church amid the showers OF
rice they hastily got into a cab. The
dog. before the carriage door could
be closed, hoped in, too The bride
became excited. but the groom took it
as an omen of good luck, and patted
the dog on the head Mr.. Dockstader
had some trouble in getting his dog
out of the carriage. He never takes
the animal TO weddings now.

Indigestion and Lying
rom uhe chicago Record-Herald.

From The Chicago Record Herald.
DR.. Max Groszman, Of New York.
has, after much study and research,
discovered that Indigestion makes peo-
pie tell lies. Furthermore, he declares
that truUhfulness may return when the
indigestion is cured. Dr. Groszman's
discovery is destined to be OF the
greatest Importance to mankind. Who
can estimate what the world may have
lost because of mistaken notions OF
lying and its causes in past ages? II
is frightful TO think of the trunk STRAPS
and birch rods that have been laid over
the backs of boys who needed pills OF
powders, or perhaps just open air and
exercise. Another interesting feature
of DR.. Groszman's discovery is the eff
feet it may have upon our future po
liucal campaigns Spellbinders ma,
be undone by villains who surrepti
tioHsly put medicine into their coffee
or their oatmeal, thus compelling thei
digestive organs TO operate so wei
that the truth alone will be dear Il

derful prospect that Dr. Groszman ha

A CASE OF MERCY

Much advice has recently beer
given the Board of Pardons which we
believe is good and disinterested.
There seems to be an impression that
the decision Of the courts may be
lightly set aside and clemency secured
by Aaking the proper appeal. We have
said that the board should not exer-
else its powers of pardon save in ex-
traordinary cases, and apparently one
of such cases was presented to It yes
terday, when counsel for Nehemiah
Harmon, Jr., asked that the sen
tence against the man be com
muted to life Imprisonment AS the
case has been reported il lacks several
important features to make It murder
in the first degree, for there is little to
show premeditation, and there is ev-
dence on which to base the theory Of
self-defence. Besides the youth of
the negro should be taken into CON
sideration. his age being less than
eighteen.
Mercy could be granted in this case
solely on its merits, and not because
OF pressure from friends and other in
terested persons. The board must show
that it is as eager to protect the inter
csts Of the poor and friendless as to
protect those who have back OF them
influential friends to plead their case.
We believe that a vast majority Of the
people of Sussex county would be sat
isfied that justice had been done
should the board interpose to save
Harmon's life. We care little how
many or how few cases of clemency
are recorded. 50 that in each instance
substantial justice is done If the jury
in the Harmon case had brought in
another verdict there would have been
no surprise, and II is not too late for
the Board of Pardons to rectify their
possible mistake.

her on the couch is certainly a mis-
take. as | was witness TO the re-
moval of the body from the stable,
myself. and Collins had nothing to do
with it.
| must also lay some stress upon
the way the stories of the suspects are
treated The Every Evening regards
the case against Collins as resting on
mere suspicion, while the negro pris-
oner is called a Confessed murderer. 3"
Why should not both be treated fair
ly? / would say that ! think that the
statement of responsible parties of
Smyrna should be respected far above
any confession that could be Sweat
ed out Of a half-wittod negro. ! can
not imagine what motive so many Of
the reputable citizens of Smyrna can
have for lying about it.
Another little matter that should be
touched upon Is this: The Every Even
ing says that so deeD-set is the preju-
dice of the people of this section that
they discount the confession of the
negro ] can speak for myself, and /
think for a great part of the people
who do not believe in the guilt of the
negro that there is no prejudice
against Mr.. Collins. and we think it
would be better for the paper and the
reporter to be careful how they apply
that word, prejudice" for we can
claim innocence for the negro without
the slightest prejudice against Mr. Col
Inns.
Our motive in claiming his inno-
cence we refer to the responsible per-
sons of Smyrna. and we would say
with the editor Of the Evening Jour
nal: mo one has the right to assume
the guilt of anyone, save the officers of
the law. and they must make such as
sumption only as a working hypO-
thesis"
For myself, and many other persons
here. ! thank the Journal for its inn
partial news. and its fear treatment of
this case. L. c.

NEW SpAPER OPINION
The Boers aud America


From the New York sun.
John Hays Hammond well-known
as an American of great distinction in
tho profession Of mining, made a sur
prising speech in London on the occa-
sion OF a dinner given in his honor on
Tuesday night. He described the pre-
vailing sentiment in America as SYM
pathetic with the Beers, and this cir
.cumstance he attributed to England's
failure to counteract It through "expla-
nation"
Mr.. Hammond is mistaken The de-
bate upon the Boer question has been
well night as exhaustive I'm this coun-
try as it has been in England, and there
has been no lack of British sympa-
thizers. But Mr. Hammond has for
gotten that there is embodied in the
American sentiment a principle which
would not have been shaken had the
British case been ten times stronger
and the Boer case ten times weaker
than they are.
The Beers are OF a wild stock, rude.
arbitrary, jealous of their nationality
and perhaps penurlous. They may not
be essentially more democratic
than the honOred head OF
our sister Republic of Mexico,
Poriirio Diaz. But upon these peo-
pie we have seen England march with
deliberate intent to destroy them as a
nation. for the sake of increased en-
pire. For that the American people at
large can have not evmnafhv but oon-
demnation.
OF coure we dismiss as childish the
'pretense that the Beers, caused the
war by the ultimatum regarding the
|massing of British troops on their
frontier
The tragedy in South Africa seems
drawing to a close. The obligations
Of neutrality have been unfailingly,
and well, observed by the American
Administration. But America must
look upon the episode with profound
sorrow.

speech on the Philippine bill made a
complete answer TO the horde of OBJ

Introductory remarks Mr.. Lodge said
u think. Mr.. President, l am not toC
optimistic when I express the hop'

before long, when we shall discuss
measures in regard TO the Philippines
as we discussed the Chinese Exclusion

legislation possible in the interests o.

people Of the United States. and whei
we shall cease to make the affairs o

investment Of political capital by
