ABOUT TERlTONT.

1t is rumored in Bennington that
contract which now exists between
the Boston d Maine and Rutland
roads, and which expires in tew
weeks, will not be renewed. The
Rutland road has no line of it's own
extending to Troy or Albany, its near
est approach to those cities being at
White Greek, seven miles from Ben
nington where the Boston e. Maine
tracks join the Rutland. For the
past year all through trains on the
Rutland road, manned by Rutland
crews, have been run over the Boston
q Maine tracks into Troy, and from
there to Albany over the tracks of the
New York Central. 1t is now stated
that the Bo ,ton q Maine will not
renew the contract and has notified
the Rutland officials that they will
have to find some way to get their
trains into Albany. To do this trains
will have to be run from North Ben
nington to Chatham over the Chatham
division, and thence over the tracks of
the Boston and Albany road to Albany
if the latter road would consent to
such an arrangement. 1t would in
crease the distance between Rutland
and Albany some thirty miles

George @. Shaw of the firm of
George g. Shaw q Co., of Portland,

his death.

education and Its
Bearing on LynChing
Ignorance That Prompts the Com
mission of Lawless Deeds
Education the Keynote
of the Situation.
Gafney Ledger.

Gaffney Ledger.
There was lynching in Or
angeburg county Wednesday
morning, and white caps killed an
old negro and severely beat three
women in Anderson county Tues
day. Gov. Hayward expresses
regret at this lawlessness and all
good citizens deplore it, but what
more is to be expected of peo-
pie who rest at the bottom of the
list in ignorance and whose lieu
tenant governor shoots down a
man in cold blood for a fancied
wrong! Some people will say,
"Well, if you don't like it, why
don't you go elsewhere." Be-
cause we don't want to. We
would rather stay at home and
tell you face to face of your mean
ness and shortcomings than to
shoot you from ambush or long
range. It's time, men and wo-
men, that we begin to think Of
our condition and try to do some
thing to better it. Education Is
the keynote. The ignorance that
now hangs over our blighted
State is appalling and the only
remedy lies in education. Hang
some of these murderous demons
by process of law, ostracise those
unscrupulous lawyers who try to
save the necks of their criminal
clients and rise up to II higher de-
gree of manhood. We have the
opportunity if we will but grasy

Iynched, was concluded yesterday
afternoon.
Long distance telephone com

lynched, but it was found that

The Utter Futility
OF Mob Violence
Experience Has Shown That
Lypching Does Not Decrease
Crimes-The Irrespon-
sibility of Mob.
Birmingham News.

Birmingham News.
The Selma Times is the only
Alabama newspaper, so far as
The News is aware, that approves
of lynching. In an editorial on
the Scottsboro Iynching it declar,
ed that the mob did right. The
Times seems to think that there is
"too much sympathy wasted on
the brute who is lynched and not
enough on the innocent victim. !"
So far as southern opposition
to lynchIng Is concerned The
Times is entirely wrong in its SUI ?
gestion.
There is no sympathy wasted
on the brute who commits the
crime except by northern fana-
tics. No one IN the south feels
sorry for him or deplores his
death except that his punishment
was effected outside of the pale of
the law. Crime is inst as detest.
able and guilt as odious to those
who stand for the supremacy of
the law as it is to those who be.
lieve in mob violence.
Experience has proven that
lynching does not reduce crime.
No one hes respect for the verdict
OF the mob. The brute with
depraved instincts feels that the
mob, if he commits a crime, is
Just about as likely in the passion
of the moment to select an limos
cent victim as it is the culprit
Manifestations of mob violence
are incentives to crime by the
hope OF immunity which they
hold out. Since lynching does
not decrease the crime 1T has no
prop to support it. Again law
lessness breeds rapidly. One
form of law violation unrebuked
begets a contempt for the law IN
general. 10 fact the history of
mankind teaches us that license
means barbarism and law is the
mark of civilization. The utter
irresponsibility of the mob is not
more strikingly shown than in the
increase of cause of lynching.
Criminal assault is now in the
minority. The causes range from
that heinous crime down to the
most trivial offense.
There is little room for argu,
ment, however, on the subject of
lynching- 1t is u question that
does not admit of a discussion on
its merits. To defend lynchipg
is tantamount to admitting that
society is failure and that it
were better for man to return to
his primitive state.
1t is not the intention of The
News to debate, therefore, the
subject of lynching, but to as
sure The Times and all advocates
of lynching that love of the law
and respect and obedience to the
courts DO not entail conformation
of crime.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers ana
grandmothers' never thought OF using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard Of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostitution or Heart failure.
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fcrmen-
tation of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver. stimulate the
nervous and organize action of the
system, and that is all they TOOK
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only need
a few doses of Green's August Flower
in LIQUID form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter

remedy at DR.. II. Wenz drug store.
