Editing newspaper is a nice
thing. If we publish jokes peo-
pie say we are rattle Drained. If
we don't we are an old fossil. If
we publish original matter they
say we don't give them enough
selections. If we give them Sc
lections they say we are too lazy
to write. If we don't 60 to
church we are o heather; if we do
we are . hypocrite. If we re-
main in the Office we ought to 90
out and hustle for locals. If we
go out we are not attending to
business. If we wear old clothes
they laugh at us. If we wear good
clothes they say we have pull.
Now, what are we to do! Just as
likely some one will say we stole

Lynchburg, Tenn, Sept, 25.-
Sheriff George Il. Davidson, IN
attempting to save the life of a
negro early this morning, fired
into n mob which was assniling
the Jail, wounding "a man whose
name Is unknown. The sheriff
summoned assistance, but he and
his aides we're overpowered, the
jail entered and the much wanted
negro, Allen Small, shot to death
IN tho corridor.
The sheriff and posse made
stout resistance, but were unable
to prevent the mob from breaking
in the iron door at the head of
the stairs and entering the cell
occupied by the negro, about
whose neck they placed Il rope.
AS soon as the men emerged
from the cell, it became apparent
that the negro could not be taken
from the Jail and hung for fear of
being fired on, and he was shot to
death. The mob tFcn made an
effort to escape, but the sheriff

cd at the sight of the bodies,
some of which were crushed to a
ghastly degree.
A MIRACLE THAT ANY ESCAPED.
1t seemed miraculous that any
one should have escaped, for each
car falling with the engine bound
ed from it and completely col,ap
sed at striking the rocks ut The
foot of the trestle. All the ex-
press in the express car was prac>
tically destroyed, except six crates
full of canary birds. None of
the birds were hurt, though the
crates were in the thickest of the
debris.
THE CAUSE OF THE WRECK.
All unofficial opinions that have
been ascertalned agree in giving
only one cause for the wreck-the
high speed of the train on the
sharp curve. No 81 was running
about an hour behind time and 1t
is thought that the engineer, be.
ing unfamiliar with the road, did
not take into consideration
coming on the curve with such
great velocity.
The mail bags in all the mail
cars were torn open and the let
ters and packages were scattered,
but it Is believed none is lost.
Fire which appeared in the wreck
age shortly after it occurred was
quickly eXtinguished by the Dan
vile fire department.

The engine had gone only about
fifty feet on the trestle when il
sprang from the track, carrying
with it four mail cars and an ex.
press car. The trestle, a wooden
structure, also gave way for q
space of fifty feet.
AT the foot of the trestle is a

conservative politicians would have
been tHat Mr. Roosevelt probably
would succeed himself. Tie answer
today is that he has not an even
chance to do SO.
Well Informed politicians from AZ
parts Of the country assert that the
opposition to Mr.. Roosevelt which OBJ
tains III New York C1ty=from the Wall
street clement, 50 called-has extend.
ed to financial centers in all parts of
TIE country.
1t is claimed now with the utmost
confidence that if the Democrats nom
mate conservative man he probably
will carry New York, New Jersey and
Indiana, while any man nominated by
9he Democrats will carry the solid
z9uth i y0nd question:
TIE Turkish incident has raised new
questions as to the safety of the
present executive. There is a divinity
which doth hedge about president
which makes it impossible to crit
else his actions, put the more the Turk
ish incident is considered, the more
the absurdity of the governments ac.
tion Is seen.
BY a clear bull in cipher dispatch
the president permits himself to be
hurried into heroic demonstration
of his defense of American citizenship
into a most decidedly sooner" and
previous demonstration. Without wait
ing moment to ascertain the facts
as President Mckinley would have
done, it is pointed out that President
Roos evelt for what IS thought to be
political effect, hurried the navy tG
make buster against the Sick Man
of Europe an impotent power, and
the sequel has put this country. il is
| said, into very questionable position
before the powers of the world.
1t is thought to have shown desire
on the part of candidate for reelec
ton to make gallery play in most
important international matters and
one far beneath the dignity of a gov.
eminent like that Of the United States
The politicians who are discussing
the matter point to the Turkish Incl
dent as one of the frothy performances
by the Roosevelt administration
which have caused distrust in financial
CIRCLES and which will add to the
very serious and growing doubt OF the
advisabilty of Mr. RooseveltS cleo
ton to the presidency.
