THE BATSON VERDICT.

The jury at Lake Charles have
done their duty in bringing IN a
verdict against the accused, Batson,
for the murder of the Earl family.
In accordance with their oath to
find true verdict according to the
evidence, they could have done
nothing else. The evidence, while
circumstantial, was conclusive. 1T
shut out all possibility that any one
but the accused had done the deed.
He was employed with the Earls
down to the day of the murders.
He had made threats against them.
On the day preceding the murders
he had purchased shot that cor
responded with those which were
found in the bodies of the mur-
dered. The notice upon the door
of the house where the murders
were committed, saying that the
Earls would be absent several days,
was in Batson's handwriting. He
was seen driving the mules and
horses of Earl to Lake Charles.
He was recognized as the man who
sought to sell the animals at Lake
Charles. Property Of the muir
dered man was found on his person.
He neither established an alibi or
sought to account for his presence
on the day of the murders or sub
sequently. The attorneys for the
defense brought in evidence as to
his innocence, and sought simply
to confuse the witnesses as to dates
and as to the appearance of the
animals he sought to sell. The
testimony was conclusive as to his
guilt. There was only one clrcum-
stance that could arouse a doubt
and that was the fact that there
were other animals upon the farm
that had disappeared and Of which
all trace was lost. What became
Of the other animalsi Who car
ried them away, and why has no
trace of them been discoveredi
Was there a fellow-conspirator and
did the associate commit the mur-
dersi While there might have
been a confederate, the guilt Of
Batson is not lessened. He must
have known of the murders and
connived with the other assassin
and participated in the deed as an
accessory. There is no escaping
the conclusion that he was either
an accessory or principal and the
verdict is correct. The jury
merits the thanks of the law
abiding people of Louisiana for
their prompt decision.

THE HOPE OF THE SOUTH.

1t is no use to hide the fact that
the hope of the South lies in the
white boy who is determined to be
useful and is willing to work hard
that he may be, says the Ten
nessee Mountain Herald. There
are many who are studying Latin
and Greek and fitting to be law
yers, doctors and ministers, but
there is no great demand for them.
There is never ending demand
for young men why can do some
thing and superintend common
labor while this labor does what
clear brains plan and oversee. The
day has passed when man with a
diploma from some small college
can win his way carte blanche. 1t
has been found that there is cul-
ture in gardening as we'll as in
Greek, in a lathe as we'll as in lit
erature, in the handling of a plow
as we'll as in the handling of pen.

The people of the United State

The people of the United States
eat about So, 200, 900 worth of beef
day. Now why should there be
a national fasting so far as this
article of food is concerned for
forty days, let us sayi There are
a good many people who do not eat
meat of any kind for forty days
every year; so there would be no
special hardship in beef fast for
this period. This would mean a
dead loss to the meat trust Of $780,
600. If the trust is not broken up
by the law, the people can institute
a national boycott against trust
beef, and they can very soon kill
the combine.
