The victim was q northern man,
. stranger, in strange land, far
from home and friends. The
leader Of his slayers was a man of
notable influence, closely allied
with men and women of politica
and social prominence and the pos
SCISSORS OF wealth, But the facts
that Cookies friends were power
full and his victim an obscure
stranger had no effect on public
detestation of the crime or on its
explation. The murder provok-
ed the most intense public indig-
nation, yet, after the first burst Of
irresponsible threatening, the trial
was suffered to proceed through
all its details, every legal point
to the advantage of the ac-
cused being seized and fought or
by the strongest counsel pro-
curabIe while the public waited
patiently, ready to accept the fat
of law, but almost every man
holding himself in readiness to
support it against violence even
at the price of his life.
The entire conduct of the trial,
the behavior of the officers of the
law and the attitude of the people
through weeks of tensionIis worthy
of appreciation and emulation, not
only throughout the South, butain

PREVENTION BETTER THAN
CURE:

A year or two ago almost every
part of the country suffered an in
fiic ton of small pox of a virulent
character. In some sections there
was great and not unreasonable
alarm on the subject and the total
number of deaths from that dis
ease IN this county was the lar
largest that had been known for
years.
During the past winter small
pox was Widespread, but had such
a mild type that it caused no con-
siderable excitement except in few
states.
There is danger Of a too great
sense of security :and consequent
neglect of plain duty as a result of
this experience.
The New York Medical Journal.
a publication of high character,
gives this timely war ming.
Let us not be too sure that
there is the ordinary short lived
safety in lapsing for a time into
neglect of the only known pro-
phylactic measure. Realizing the
tho danger Of prophesying, we
nevertheless must express our
fear that the coming wirter will
witness a Troublesome of the cpl
demic, and that the disease, in the
event of such an occurrence, may
be shorn of its recent unaccustom-
ed mlldness. Small pox epidemics
that shoulder through the sum-
mer not infrequently take on a
greatly augmented severity with
the advent of cold weather. That
may not be exemplifed this year
but we believe it prudent to be
on the lookout for such a state of
things"
Many community has, to its
sorrow, neglected the duty the
strict performance of which it thus
lmpressively enjoined.
The able and reliable journal
rom which we have quoted says
further IN its earnest presentation
Of this very important matter:
Nothing but an epidemic seems
capable of roulsing in the public
mind any abiding appreciation of
The preventive value of vaccina-
ion, and it must be added nothing
Else appears to remind most ply

THE LESSONS TAUGHT

The drama of Tuesday last con
veyed lesson which will endure
for a generation to come. Indeed
it may considered the initial steI
in revolution in Mississippi; ant
to Washington county belongs the
honor of setting an example which
will do much to relieve the state
from odlum which, justly OIL
not, it has long borne.
Law, unsupported by public
sentiments is an empty form,
maintained by such sentiment as
IN the case under consideration, it
becomes an irresistible power.
For many years the reproach of
lawIessness has been directed
against this state and in many
instances it wonld be hard to offer
a defense.
The men who died on the scat
fold on Tuesday we're types Of an
all too numerous class-a class who
apparently think that law has for
its principal object the protection
of accused individuals rather than
that OF society. 1t is probable
that Ashley Cooke, the unquestion-
ed ledaer of his gang, after twenty
years of violence and successful
defiance Of legal and moral autho-
rity, had grown TO regard himself
as superior to 1t, or at least to des-
pise it as a weak and futile thing.
There are many like,him to whom
his fate will serve as an unforget-
able warning. s
When commonwealth CON
tains two distinct races, one OPEN
ly and avowedly, affirming andIbe-
leiving in its superiority and plac-
ing higher:value, morally, politi-
cally anil socially, on the members
of one class those of |
another. the situation is an ex-
tremely delicate and difficult one,
and the tendency Is naturally land
insensiblyto establish an oligarchy
not of money, birth, intellect or
worth, but simplyof race. In such |
a condition one of the gravest
perils is forgetfulness of the fun
damental republican axiom that
all men are equal before the law.
That Mississippi. has not escaped
this danger is showl by the crimi-
nal records of every county in it.
This county-its sheriff, its JUDI
ciary, and the public sentiment
which so steadfastly upheld them
has rendered an uncaIcuIable SER
vice TO the state at large in this
connection, and set a standard
which the entire South may well
ook to as worthy to be reached.
The influence of the trial and exc .
:ution beyond the State will be al
most as important to it's future

fleet at home.
1t confutes unanswerably certain
most damaging and fer the great

ANNISTON WANTS
 4 NEW RAILROAD
COMMITTEE WILL VISIT OFFICERS
 OF ALABAMA PYRITE MINING COMPANY AND SHOW THEM
 WHAT ANNISToN HAS TO OFFER

Anniston, April 3.-(Special.) "A commit tee from the Commercial Club of Annis- ton will in a few days visit the officials of the Alabama Pyrite Mining Company and lay the claim of this city before them for the purpose of securing if pos sible the railroad that is to be built from Clay county to either Annston or Talladega. The Alabama Pyrite Mining Company owns one of the most valuable deposits of pyrite in the South This company has assisted in the organization of a railroad corporation with a capital stock of S300,0O0 to build and equip railroad either from Anniston or Talla- dega for the purpose of developing their property. A large number of the citizens of Clay county prefer the Anniston route and say that the road can be brought to Anniston if the proper effort is made to secure it. The distance to Anniston from Ashland Is a few miles greater than it is from Ashland to Talladega. but cost of construction would be less to this city than it would be to Taladega owing to a fewer number of difficulties that will have to be passed. and a much richer section of the country would be tra- versed by the proposed line. Such prog ress has been made toward the early con struction of this road that the Louisville and Nashville Railroad has already agreed to equip and operate 1t for a period of years as soon as the rails are laid.
 Clay county is one of the richest in all the South in mineral wealth and this road would contribute wonderfully to the countys development
