OF the Attorney-G General Who took
them there? Parties who may have
been interested in manufacturing evi-
dence against the negro in order to
shield another. We do not say, of
course. who is guilty. In fact, we ad-
wise the people of Laurel not to assume
the guilt Of anyone. That is the func-
ton Of the authorities. and with them
it should be used only as a working
hypothesis.
Mr. Smith shows his partisanship in
his insulting letter But he probably
knows that the Evening Journal has
made a more thorough investigation Of
this case than any other agency or
person. unless It be the State detec-
tivas. If our news is food for fools" 3"
then Mr.. Smith is guilty of a slander
of a majority Of his fellow-townsmen.
since hundreds OF copies of the jour
nal containing exclusive news of the
case, are daily sold under his eyes.
Today we print another story from
Smyrna, and incontestible proof is Of
fered to show that the negro suspect
was in THAT town ON the day of the
murder. In the face Of Mr.. Smiths adj
vice ito print the TRUTH" we call his
attention to the particulars in his let
ter in which he virtually asks us to
believe in the guilt of the demented
negro. We shall be glad to hear from
Mr.. Smith again.

there was a great crowd in attendance.
The King drove up in a carriage
drawn by a pair Of magnificent black
stations.
The new rule of procedure at these
levees is giving the greatest satisfac-
ton to the officers and those attend
ing 1t was the rule in the early part
.of Queen Victorias reign that all who
ATTENDED the levees should kneel and
kiss her hand The new rule requires
that officers in attendance or present
ed are expected to pass by the King
in the usual manner, unless his
majesty should hold out his hand, in
which case the officers should bend
over and kiss his hand without kneel-
ing"
OF course, we mean to say that this
is important chiefly to loyal Ameii-
cans here and in England-tlhe Lon
don Society,"" for example, and the
devOut thousands who make their an
nual pilgrimages from Calicotown and
Sausageville to the only throne worth
mentioning. We do not say that the
announcement is welcome. Far from
nc What We do say is that it is be-
wildering if not disconcerting. For
hoil9 di WHO dllehued the leNeeS were
sure Of an opportunity to kiss the
Royal Hand Anybody who could get
in was free to teeter uD to the Pres
ence, kneel, and osculate. Now it ap-
pears you cannot do this unless King
Edward invites you to do it by extend
ing his august fin. Otherwise you have
to pass on with hungry lips.
Speaking for a certain class Of our
fellow-Americans-if they will pardon
the rude reminder-we respectfully
protest against this exclusiveness on
THE part of Edward VII.

THE MAYORS VETO

Mayor Fisher has returned the modi-
fed Welsbach lighting contract with
out his signature He has taken ample
time 10 make up his mind, and We be-
lieve that he has made a serious mis-
take. We do not know what course
will be taken now. and we confess to
a WEAKNESS in taking up the matter
anew. We feel that those who have
had no other concern than the city's
interest. and who have given their
time and efforts TO settle this matter
in a way to avoid litigation, have been
misinterpreted and rebuked without
cause.
We do not propose to question the
Mayors motive, but we do think his
Judgment is wrong. There has been
too great tendency to assail individ-
ual character. because this amended
contract did not meet the wishes Of
certain persons. There is one thing
that strikes us as peculiar. In the
midst of this controversy over the
Welsbaoh contract when all attention
was directed to it, two Of the Street
and Sewer Commissioners resigned.
The Mayor before appointing the pres
ent incumbents had several confer
ences with Meesrs. johnson and Mel
win. and the presumption was that he
knew their views on this most impor-
tant matter before he appointed them.
But instead OF united action the
Mayors appointees take one course,
and he takes another. Thus he vetoes
the work of his own appointees.
What next-endless newspaper con-
troversy? We trust not The people
are tired of it. Presumably the case
viii now begin to drag its weary way
through the courts, and somebody
must pay counsel fees. There has been
a demand in certain quarters for a
new bidding. How shall bids be
asked? A certain kind of light must
be specifed,a and all lights differ in their
nature. Welsbach and electric light
ing concerns cannot bid under the
same specifications. since the lights
are totally different We have not for
gotten the great storm of last winter
when the city was saved from total
darkness by the Welsbach lamps. Now
we are all at sea again. IL is our de-
liberate judgment that a good light
under favorable contrac
has been turned down, and If the re
suits are unsatisfactory, the blame mus
be placed where it belongs.

There seems TO be an impression
among certain persons in Sussex that
someone must be hanged for the muir
der of Mrs. Collins, and that the de-
mented negro locked up in the George
town jail will do as well as anyone.
According to the experience of our re-
porter in interviewing the suspect, un-
der a proper application of the Sweat
ing process this poor half-witted crea-
ture could be made to confess to any
crime THAT might be put upon him.

TERRA del Fuego is full Of minerals,
among which is no small proportion

in minerals down in that part of the

dict. but there are movement Oper-
ations which at any time may result

The Mayor makes a point in his OBJ
lection to signing the Welsbach con-
tract that the City Solicitor refuses TO
assure him that the contract would be
legal If we are not mistaken, Mr.
Reinhardt has expressed the opinion
that the contract would hold but when
asked for positive assurance, refuses.
OF course he docs. No lawyer with
the possibility Of a case being taken
TO court is willing to assure his client
of the soundness Of his contention. He
can only give his opinion. and this
the City Solicitor has done If ne
shall be compelled TO give opinions
that amount to assurances, we imag
inc there will be a vacancy in his
office II attorneys were always Ger
tain OF the law. we should have n,

One day more is left for the Regulars
to accept the Addicks ultimatum, and
what are they doing? Idling away
their time at business or playing ping

their affairs while Nero was preparing
to apply the torch. Poor Nero! He
didn't want to do it, but he had to
have entertainment to dlssipate the
horrible ennui. Why will not men
heed the warning in time and fee the
wrath to come? The people of Pom
peii applauded the contestants in the

Interesting Letter From a Former Citizen
of the Valley.

Globe, Arizona, June 20, 1902
Dear Editor:
We are having real hot dry weather
We haven't had any rain since the first
of May. Cattlemen are uneasy. Wells
going dry. The thermometer stands
from 100 to ITO during the day and from
s5 to 100 in the night.
Quite lot of sickness among child
rem from one year down. The weather
is so hot they almost burn up. We
have one little fellow very low with
bowel trouble.
Our town is little dull. Some talk
of the mines and smelter mines shut
ting down. We only have one railroad
into the camp and the freight is so
high that the mining company has al
most decided to buy the railroad or
build one OF their own We have four
large mining companies here and they
are paying too much freight SO they
have asked the President of the road to
come to their prices o. they will build.
Noticed the account Of the wreck Of
the Jasper train which was very sad In
deed. It's horribleto think Of men be
ing plunged to death in an instant
hated to hear of the death Of Rollins
and Thatch who were old friends,
am always glad to get the News
With best wishes to the editor and sue
cess TO the News.

Then with these two aristocratic

coin such campaign expressions as
'full dinner pail-the advance agent
of prosperity" "restoration of conf
dence," "sound money" "let well-e.

this crafty means, the common people
who have been told this and who

to get fat.

tanOOga.

The Gustafson Bros. Mfg. Co d,
have leased the property OF the
Chicamauga Foundry Co., on Boyce
St., Chattanooga, and will remove
a portion of their plant here to
that city within thirty days. Their
foundry and machine shop here will
be sold or leased to responsible par
ties who may apply, advertisement
Of which appears in thir issue.
This is a severe blow to the inter-
ests of Sequachee as the Gustafson
Bros. Mfg. Co. has been one of the
leading industries of the place for
the past seven years. The firm has
been doing a good business in furn-
ace and mining equipment, and the
move is made to extend the possi-
bilities Of the business and be in clos
er touch with business centres
While they regret to leave Sequa-
chez they feel that they are held by
no business inducements as the town
is not in progressive stage. If il
were so, the firm would continue il
l business here.
With one of the three enterprises
OF the town about to abandon it, and
another endeavoring to find loca-
ton elsewhere, the future of the place
d not at all encouraging. Gustafsor
Bros. have done considerable during
the seven years they have been here
and we had hoped the business was
one of the permanent enterprises o.
the place.
Sequachee maintains its record al
remarkable disappointment, an(
Chattanooga gains an enterprise.

TWO MEN MEET DEATH,
James GraysOn Killed by Falling Tree

Buzz Saw.

Near Fairmount, on Walden's ridge,
two men were killed in the storm that
occurred Saturday afternoon while en-
gagged in their daily labor. Both men
were working at portable saw mill
that has been operated in that section
for some months. James Grayson, own
er and proprietor of the mill, and Jesse
May, one of the Employees, we're just pre-
pairing to close down for the day when
the storm came upon them. The circu-
lar saw was busily buzzing away cutting
the last tree of the day and the two
men we're standing near it. Suddenly
the terrible force of the frst blast of
the storm snapped a giant limb from a
nearby tree and hurled it with great
force against the two workmen. May
was thrown backwards directly across
the rapidly revolving saw and his body
was almost cut in twain. One side Of
his body was separated from the trunk
