It has been said that 1t would be better that ninety-nine guilty men should escape than that one innocent man should be put to death. or something like that, but The Hartford Courant springs this ques- ton, In discussing lynchings and the crime for which negroes are lynched:
 As regards that class of crimes, is it really better that a hundred guilty men should escape than one innocent man suf- fer? How about the innocent men, wo- men and children among whom the hun. dred human wolves are turned loose
 This raises a question in both legal and moral ethics that might have some per picking features. Suppose. for example, that ninety-nine men have really com mitted brutal crimes. and that one hun dred men are arrested. one of them be- ing innocent, but that it is found impos- sible to tell which is the innocent man. The question is. would it be a greater in jury to society to turn loose the ninety nine human wolves" as The Courant calls them, or punish all of them, in- cluding the one who is not guilty?

Mules in Ancient Davs.

Union Springs, Aug. 9, 1903 Editor The Advertiser:
 In your editorial In last Sundays Advertiser on the negro and the mule you say that the first mention of the mule In the Bible Is that in connection with Absalom in time of King David.
 In this you are mistaken The first mention of the mule in the Bible Is found in Geneses xvi 24, something like 700 years before time of Absalom.
 Yours truly,
 A. w. Mckinney. CWell, we believe our correspondent Is correct, but the mules were evidently lost. for we read that they were found in the wilderness. All the same, we in- sist that Noah didn't have any in his ark, because they do not breed and were not needed for future use.-Advertiser)

 Frank s. Moody of Tuscaloosa. probably
 the most conspicuous factor in the dis
 pensary movement throughout the State, spoke in this city Friday night in the court house yard to a crowd of about 200 persons, a number of whom were ladies. He presented the dispensary side In a very forceful argument, and was heard with attention for nearly two hours. Hon. A. H. Carmichael introduced the speaker, hls remarks being prefaced by an appeal for dis2ensaries in Colbert. Mir. Moody spoke at Sheffield the night before and will visit Leighton and Cherokee tonight and tomorrow, speaking at the four points where 1t is desired to establish dis pensaries The bill drafted for action upon by the approaching session of the Legislature, which meets in Montgomery early next month, provides for an cleo ton by the people on the 17th day of No Vember. for the adoption or rejection of the proposed dispensaries. Interest in the matter Is becoming exceedingly lively
 The Sheffield Tuscumbia and Florence electric street car company began the work of grading in this city this morning with a large force of teams scrdpers, wagons, etc, having completed the grad ing from South Florence south via Shef- field to Tuscumba. All the steel rail nee essary for the building of the line has been received, as has also the wire and other material, with the exception of a sufficient number of cross ties and trolley poles, which, however, are being supplied rapidly. and the entire mater.aI IS said to be new and strictly up-to date. The power house is to be a steel building and its completion will be accomplished in a very short time after which work will be commenced and pushed on the water tow CT and filterer. The persons who doubted the building Gf the line when the fran chise was granted several months ago. are beginning to realize that the com pany means business, and the way the work is progressing leaves no further room for doubE.
