REPUBLICANS ON LYNCHING.

Ped Thomas, the Republican leader and
orator of Davidson county, Grated at the
Republican county convention on Satur-
day. Talking about lynching, Mr.. Thomas
endorsed Governor Aycock's deterimna-
tion to suppress lynching and exclaimed:
Il am eternally opposed to lynching.
The only crime which ought to be punish
ed by lynching is the crime of stealing
votes"
Think of it. Republican leader thinks
stealing votes worse crime than rape!
Lynching is always to be deplored.
There is no defense of it. but there is
palliation for it when indignant neigh
bors catch the brute before he is in the
hands of the officers of the law. To
compare stealing votes to the grossest
assault shows a greater love for office
than for the protection of the woman
hood of the State.
Suppose everybody who stole votes in
Thomas suggests-where would Quay get
his big fraudulent majorities? In that
State today, the opposition has to spend
most of it's time and most of its money
in trying to prevent illegal voting. In
the last election, according to the Re-
publican Philadelphia Press, the Quay
followers in Philadelphia cast $4,000
illegal votes. Wouldn't it be big lynch
ing bee if all should be lynched as Mr.
Thomas suggests,

NO LONGER A NUISANCE.

The 1900 census showed that the once
despised cotton seed gave a return to
the mill operators of over s42, All 900. In
1857 the Mississippi Legislature passed
a law imposing fine of twenty dollars
for every day that cotton seed was left
around a gin house to menace public
health" In 1870 the product of cotton
seed was worth $4,000. Within thirty
years the product had grown to be worth
,OOO and every year new uses are
found for the product.

DISAPPOINTING.

The Presidents anti trust speech in
Rhode Island was distinct disappoint-

The New York Evening Post, referring
to the passage of the Southern Railway
dividend and the perpetuation of the vot-
ing trust which denies stockholders any
will in the management of the property
says: There is presumption that this
stand is being taken to prevent placing
in control of the Southern Railway the
reckless Western Spectator who has just
met a humiliating reverse in an effort
to control a Western industrial property
although he is presumed to own or con-
troll two thirds of the outstanding capital
stock. The situation is none the less
interesting because this Spectator has
himself done% so much to hand over to
certain bankers a. number of other prop
critics whose control had beon bought up
in the open stock market from unsuspect-
ing arrangements.

A Sons DEvoTIoN.-The Atlanta
Constitution says that an anecdote
descriptive of a fine phase of the late
William A. Hemphill's character was,
strangely enough, related from the
pulpit last Sunday night by Rev. II. b
Cleveland, who at the time knew
nothing of Colonel Hemphill's illness.
In less than two hours afterwards
Colonel Hemphlll was dead. Mr..
Cleveland had chosen the duty of a
child TO his parent as the general theme
of his sermon, aud it was to illustrate
rare display of devotion that he told
OF the Hempbill incident.
"The most touching and dramatic
evidence of a sons devotion to his
mother that | ever saw happened at
the battle of Gettysburg" said Mr..
Cleveland. When the battle was
raging at its hottest, and men on the
Confederate side were falling by hun
dreds, saw stalwart young Southern
soldier reeling from the lines to the
rear, where the hospital was located.
He had been badly shot in the face, and
the blood was gushing forth IN streams.
AS he picked his way over the rough
ground IL was plain TO see that his con-
dition was serious, and that the loss of
blood had greatly weakened him. But
what attracted my attention most was
the position of his hands, which were
held upright over his head and con-
