Condemnation Proceedings.

The suit in which the Chicago,

Burks were impaneled a jury of

sent to Flippin to view and asses
the damages to the said Savage prop

returned and made their report, al

the case will be further complicat-

that the sheriff had no right to act
without first serving a personal no

Lynchers Go Free.

The impossibility of convicting
alleged lynchers in this State was
again shown last week, when Attor-
Faulkner moved in the
Circuit Court to quash indictments
against several citizens charged with
participating in lynching a negro
named Davis some time ago. One
of the indicted men was tried and
acquitted several days ago, and to-
day Jeff Sanders was also acquitted.
Judge Houston granted the attor-
ney-general's motion, and thus ends
a vigorous effort on the part of
Judge Houston and his attorney
general to bring the alleged lynch
ers to justice. Several men have
been tried in DeKalb county on a
lynching charge, but none have ever
been convicted. In fact, it has been
found impossible to get juries to
try most of them.

Cotton MAKING Prourass.

According to the United States
weather bureaus weekly report, late
corn is very promising. Cotton is
making progress, but the plants are
still small and about two weeks late;
it is beginning to put on some forms.
Tobacco is doing well, some fine
crops being reported. The oat crop
is fairly good, and the hay crop
fine. Sweet potatoes, peas and mil
let promise good crops. The out
look for grapes continues good, for
apples fair, for peaches poor. Gar
dens and minor crops are generally
doing well, but beginning to need
rain. Crops generally have been
well cultivated, and most Of the
corn has been laid by in good con-
ditiOh.

BASE NEGLECT OF DUTY.
Some of the Things That Arc Ex-
pected of Men Who Aspire to
Political leadership.

To become political leader" and to re-
tain the post successfully, requires eternal
vigilance. One politician, quoted by the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, says that in the
tenement districts the leader becomes a
sort of unofficial mayor, guardian and IA
Their of his people. He can never ignore a
request. To do so is to offend not only
the individual who makes it, but all mis-
relations.
One woman asked district leader TO take
her baby into his family while the mother
went out of town for a weeks visit. Again,
he was called up at two o'clock in the morn
ing by a couple of men who had got into a
dispute, and wanted him to arbitrate. He
was expected to see that the poor had coal;
to bail out those who were arrested; to Sc
cure work for those who were out of employ
ment; to have police fines RENTED; to at
tend marriages, picnics and funerals.
One family of voters renowned him perma-
nently because he did not call when seven
year-old Thomas broke leg.
But l didn't know he had broken his
Leg" the leader demonstrated.
Sure, and you should have known it.
"But | didn't even know you had a son
named Thomas"
That settles it," and the father took
up his hat. Tim Sullivan would have
known it. Niver a meal have you ate in me
hcr5e."

What WaH It9

brs.irpoint, Miss, Aug. 3rd.-One of the
strangest cases ever reported occurred here
recently. The son of Mr.. G. l.. Butler was
very iii. The doctor said he had some dis
ease of the spinal cord, and treated him for
two months, but he grew worse all the time,
and finally the doctor told Mr.. Butler that
he did not know what was the trouble.
The boy would wake up in the night and
say that he was dying. He would be nerv-
Gus and trembling and want to run out OF
the house, saying he saw ugly things which
frightened him.
His father was very much discouraged till
one day he saw a new remedy called Dodd's
Kidney Pills advertised, and he at once
bought some and began to give them to his
boy.
He used altogether eight boxes before he
was entirely cured. He has not been
troubled since. Mr.. Butler says:
81 feel it my duty to tell what Dodd' Kid
ney Pills have done for my boy. All this
remedy needs. is fair chance and it will
speak for itself"

Contrary TO the general belief the
young king of Spain is quite a muscu-
lar fellow. He proved that to Profess
sor Lorenz during a recent visit of the
famous specialist ut Madrid. The king
received the surgeon. The queen

during which Professor Lorenz hap
pened to remark on the wonderful
muscular development of her son.

king, and he proceeded to pick his
mother up. Then lie carried her around
the room three times. much to the
amazement of DR.. LorenZ, and the en-
