NATIONAL, NOT sEcTloNAn

according to the Chicago Chronicle
ten murders have been committed in
Vermillon county, I'll during the past
twelve months.

Northern points last summer.
have no wish to say you're an
other?" when Northern papers and
Northern people charge that crime of
all kinds fourlshes In the South to a
greater extent than elsewhere. We
merely call attention to the interesting
fact cited by our Chicago contemporary
in order to convince doubters that there
are places worse than the South. There
is too much crime below Mason and
Dixon's line, undoubtedly. But there
is just as much, or more, above that
line. In other words, crime is not Sec
tional, but national.
We have no means of knowing
whether or not Vermillion county is
worse than the others in Illinois, OF
other Northern States, but we think il
obvious that if such a condition of af
fairs exists in one place there is 6
strong likelihood of its existing in an
other So heavy was the criminal bus
mess in Vermillion, according to the
Chronicle, that special term of the
criminal court was necessary in orde,
that the overflow from the spring tern
might be taken care of, and ninety
nine indictments were returned by tht
court at the regular October session
The special term consumed eighty-si:
days, from which it is safe to infer tha
it had very considerable amount O
business before it.
Is there single county in the Soutl
which can show such record as this
There may be, but we doubt it.

GREAT DECREASE IN LICENSES.
Few Negroes Are Hunting Trouble
This Year.

There has been heavy falling off
this'yea: in the number of marriage
licenses issued IN Americus as compar-
ed with last year and Judge Aller,
who issues these trouble blanks, is at a
loss to account for this shying at the
matrimonial yoke. The decrease, he
says, is wholly among the negroes, the
licenses issued them to date being
fully 33 per cent under last years de-
mand. Usually at this season when
the cotton crop has been sold and the
years work ended, the first idea of the

She was arrested for vagrancy sew

prohibit the use of such stimulants
the deprivation of them made her al

Thursday night she suddenly stopped

cited for this rapid national decay of
population. One is the working OF
the famous "Code Napoleon" which
makes the children both the legal
and natural heirs Of their parents.
That, is the fathers will is the sons,
and disinheritance is unknown.
The parents are desirous that the
children stand we'll financially,
therefore fewer children mean q
better Inheritance. The other reason
cited is the national spirit Of thrift
and parsimony. More children
mean greater outlay for their sup
port by the parents before the child

business Of money making-a cold
