Tearing Down the Bridges.

Several farmers between this city and
Northumberland are tearing down the
bridges over the canal erected by the
Pennsylvania canal company on their
farms Many of these bridges are be.
coming much the worse for time and
wear and the canal company gave the
farmers permission 20 tear them down.
Offering them a. a compensation for
their labor the timber and stone in
the old structures. As the bridges are
necessarily high with a steep approach
at each end necessitating heavy pull IN
crossing, the farmers are glad enough
to get rid of them and are not much
disposed to reject the proposition Of the
canal company. Those who wish TO
cross the canal according 20 the com
panys terms. will of course be- obliged
to build culverts at their own expense.
which they may locate at any point the
most convenient. BY spring it l. thought
most Of the bridges will bp removed
The canal company offers the land
embraced by the canal and tow path
for sale, reserviug the right Of way for

The game of basket ball in the Ar

and Susquehanna University was GER
tainly hard fought if not closely con-
tested one. There was more than the
usual amount Of rough and tumble; sew
eral Of our boys sustained abrasions Of
the skin and blood was much in evid-
ence, although no one was seriously
hurt. The score, with its wide margin
in favor of Danville, shows, however,
that in point Of skill the visitors were
hardly in it with our boys. who as usual
distinguished themselves by their ex-
cellent team work, the passing of the
ball between Bedea, Klase and Gaskins
being an especially admirable feature
The visiting team with more practice
might have done better A long throw
made by Battersby evoked applause,
and showed that he was capable of good
work There was large crowd pres
ent with plenty Of enthusiasm. The
score at the end of the first half was %
to in favor of Danville; at the close of
the game, 81 to % in favor of the home

the Southern Governor resents as a SLAM
der on his state. and The New Bedford
(Mass.) Standard has this sensible View
of the case:
Until the Governor of North Caroliua
has demonstrated that he will not or that
he cannot keep his pledge. how can the
Governor OF Massachusetts assume that
the accused VIII be treated unjustly? But
IL the course Of events should prove that
the acusations of those who opposed the
requisition wore weff-founded or were
justified. then future cases Of similar re-
quest from North Carolina in all States
might well take the failure into consd-
GRAFTON. OF course such q result would
be terribly unfortunate for the prisoner:
but It would be thousand-fold more un-
fortunate for North Carolina. There are
worse things than death or torture; and
one Of them is the default of honor. That
Is the vital point in the Rogers case now.

tKE BE0INNINo OF rHE END.

The public announcement by Hon. S. M.
Adams. Probate Judge OF Chiffon County.
khat he has renewed his allegiance to the
Democratic Party. is matter of more
than ordinary significance. Judge Adams
has been one of the most jealous and
znfiuential leaders of the Populists for
several years. Now. however. when the
populite Party has practically ceased to
exist and the alternative is presented of
uniting with either the Democratic or
Republican Party, Judge Adams does not
hesitate to step back into the ranks of
the former. His action will be hailed
with pleasure by Democrats everywhere.
BE Is well known throughout the State
and his example and influence will be
beneficial to the Democratic Party
The Advertiser has assurances that
Judge Adams does not stand alone among
the Popuiists in his choice of future po-
lttical party Affiliations. Other Populite
headers. in fact the rank and file of the
party in every county in Alabama, are
re-uniting with the Democratic Party-the
white mans party of the State.
This Is as 1t should be. The ratification
OF the new Constitution has resulted in
the elimination of the negro as a po-
iitical factor in Alabama. There are now
10000 registered white voters In the
state and this number will be increased
until practically every worthy white man
an the State will be a registered voter.
The recent primary election has demon
strafed beyond doubt that a fair and
honest election is possible and hereafter
no man will dare to attempt fraud or
cheating in the conduct Of an election.
Therefore. why should not at least every
white man In Alabama WHO has ever been
Democrat be a Democrat today?

A member of the Wisconsin Legisla-
turs thinks he has plan to stop the fish
liar, but we doubt it. His bill provides
that any man who catches a fish weigh
ing over one pound shall have it weighed
and the weight certified. This fails in
q vital particular, because 1t does not
provide against the liar whose big fish
always get away. When a fisherman
hooks ten-pounder and lets it break
loose. he Is always alone. and he's the
kind Of sportsman who gets OF the big
geak stories. As there is no way to dis
prove what he says, the law can do no
good.

maries Monday last of Governor Jelks
to succeed himself, fulfills the proph ecy
Of his friends and was a surprise to the
supporters of Johnston who greatly over
estimated the strength of their candidate.
he Times congratulates Governor felix's
upon his victory. His administration and
campaign has been conducted from the
high plane of honor and he was both will
ing and safe to allow his records as man,
official, friend and ruler, to be his strong
arguments for the nomination. 1t is quite
evident that a gratifying majority of the
voters of Alabama were remembering just
these qualifications when they cast their
votes Monday last. The Times is proud
to be numbered among the personal
friends of Governor Jelks and delights
with the other members of the Alabama
State Press Association in the honor be-
slowed upon our former Vice. President.

IAN INSCRIPTIONS and disgraceful cam

to our county. The contest here was
close. and the Johnston followers de-
clared there never was fairer election
and they will not follow him outside the
party. Having participated in the Demo-
cratic primaries they. say they are in
honor bound to accept the result and to
vote for the nominees and they will do
30. The majority of the Democratic
Executive Committee, including the chair
man, Martin Hendon, were followers of
Johnston, hut they are now ardent sup
porters of telks, and will do all in their
power to secure the election in Novem-
Der of the full Democratic ticket. and
save our State from the disgrace of Re-
publican misrule which would ensua from
division in our ranks. Johnston would not
