Look Out for the Boys.

One would be surprised to see
the number of boys under fifteen
years of age, who are running about
on the streets of the city after
night. Why their parents will
permit them to be out after dark,
we are unable to understand, for
it is then that the boys are more
liable to get into serious trouble.
The snares that young boys are
led into by unscrupulous men at
night are many and they need
protection. Around the hearth
of a true Christian home, or snugly
tucked in bed, is the only place
where this protection is assured.
A curfew bell would dive them
into this harbor of safety, for if
they are caught on the street after
curfew hour by a policeman, he
will carry them home, or take
them to the station till morning.
Such an ordinance in all the cities
of the State would save many a
boy from ruin and the State peni-
tentiary. Greenville Times.

Aaeee For Senator,

Mr.. 6. Wood Magee announces
in today's paper as candidate
for the office Of State Senator for
the district composed of the coun-
ties of Lincoln and Lawrence. In
deciding to make the race for the
Senate, Mr.. Magee is impelled
largely in his decision By virtue
Of the fact that Lawrence county
lis entitled to the Senatorship this
time, and furthermore, by the
very earnest solicitations that have
come to him from both counties
to offer for the place. 1t is need
legs to say anything by way of
introducing Mfr. Magee to the peo-
pie of Lawrence county, to whom
he is already so we'll and faver-
ably known, but to the voters of
our sister county of Lincoln we
want to say in his behalf that
should you see fit to confer upon
him the ditinguished honor to
which he aspires, the trust will
be returned to you at the end of
four years unsullied, having been
discharged faithfully and efficient
ly, with credit both to himself and
his constituency = Lawrence

OUR SPECIAL OFFER.
TIME EXTENDED TO MARCH 18TH.

During the nearly two months
our special offer to subscribers has
been in effect, there has been SO
much rainy weather and the coun-
try roads have been so extreme
ly bad, we have heard of a number
of persons who wished to avail
themselves of it, who have not
been able to get to Brookhaven,
or even to a country postoffice to

convenience and difficulty. For
this reason we have decided to ex-

Notes from Johnson Academy.
Clear, cold weather.
Roads some better.


Clear, cold weather.
| Roads some better.
Farmers are getting ready for
spring work.
The day for which all other days
were made, to the good people of
johnson, came last Saturday.
Despite the mud, rain, delays
and bad roads, a good audience
gathered Saturday to participate
in the formal opening of the new
school building. State Superin-
tendent Whitfield, and Prof. Haw-
kins, of Whitworth College, Rev.
G. T. Chandler, Presbyterian
minister of Brookhaven, Miss.
Miss Vivion, teacher of stringed
instruments, and Miss johnson,
one of her pupils, favored us with
their presence and gave several
numbers, which pleasure afforded
to all present.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Chandler, and
music by the school, followed by
a vocal solo, by Miss Hickman;
subject, 'Ten Thousand Miles
Away" Also an instrumental
piece by Miss Vivian and Miss
johnson.
To say that the State Superin-
tendent did justice to himself, the
educational interest of the State,
and the occasion is to put it mild
| ly. His address was pointed,
practical, patriotic; in fine, superb.
Following this came the address
of Prof. Hawkins on the demands
of the young men of the day.
The professor did himself, the sub
ject and the occasion great credit.
The two addresses we're an in
spiration to the people of John
son. The regretable feature of
the whole matter was, owing to the
lateness of the beginning, the entire
school program, with the excep-
ton of the essays by H. d. Alder
man and Miss Lucy Edwards, had
to be omitted, as we'll as the ad-
dress by Rev. Chandler, to the pa
irons and pupils of the school.
Rev. Chandler kindly consented
in the near future to return and
deliver the address. All were
satisfied with both the quality
and quantity of the dinner, which
cleared the young ladies twenty
dollars; with the thirty-five taken
in in the morning, they made in
all $50, the net result of the days
work in money.
Thus, under favorable auspices,
and on Washington's birth day;
was johnson academy launched; to
this community an epoch-making
day. All had helped, and all re
joiced. May we live long and
prosper.

DIRTY POLITICS.

In the investigation of charges of misconduct in office against Governor Davis, State Auditor Monroe testified that Governor Davis approached him before the parimary was held last year and compelled him to sign an agree ment pledging himself to join the governor in purchasing the AL theimer plantation Ut price of S90, 1000 for q state convict farm and pledging his support to Davis as q candidate for governor. The agreement, which was received as evidence, states that if Monroe would sign the agreement he (Goyernor Davis) would not bring out a candidate against Monroe for a second term as auditor. Col. Monroe stated on the stand that he signed the agreement because he was not financially or physically able to make q canvass of the state and the governor told him he would bring out opposition if he refused to sign it.
 And this old ex- Confederate vet eran who had faced the enemy on a score of battlefelds, whose body had been perforated time and again by bullets from their guns, but now grown old and feeble in health and having no means with which to defend himself, must humiliate himself by signing this agreement.

QUAY SHOCKED HANNA.

Senator Quay gave some of his colleagues in congress rude shock by an unusual display of honesty when Senator Blackburn, just q day or two before adjourn mcnt, made q motion to take up the Littleiield antitrust bill. T have an explanation to make said the Pennsylvania senator, and, of course, every member of the sen ate craned his neck to listen, think ing that some new phase of the statehood fight was about to de velop. But the willy old cuss fool ed everybody for once. "I want to say continued Senator Quay, that 1t is my purpose to vote up on this motion, because it k q mere question of order, and does not touch upon the merits of the trust question. Should the bill be taken up l shall ask to be excused from voting, because l happen to own stock in some of the corporations generally regarded as trusts, and l believe 1t would be improper, on account of my ownership of trust stock, to vote upon the bill o The spectacle of d republican senator publicly acknowledging that he owned trust stock is enough to paralyze the people. It is said that Senator Hanna, who vigor- ously denies that there are any trusts, almost fell out of his seat. After the excitement was all oyeI and Senator Hanna was restored l to consciousness, one of the demo cratic senators who Is of a sympa- thetie nature, tried to find out who else owned trust stock, so that he might persuade them not to men. tion the fact in the presence o1 Senator Hanna. But he found nc one else with trust stock and tht senate resumed it's deliberations.

An Awful Wind.
Editor of The Journal

To the Editor of The Journal.
 One of the worst hurricanes passed through the mails on the 18th of February 1 ever heard of, and done the least damage. It never hurt any one; not even the fellow that started it, the Honery Bare Footed Cash, for he has everything grabbed in that beauti- full city of Syringa, a city of 6, GOO inhabitants. If he had said 175, ,000 he wouldn't have lied, for they are there, but mostly mosquitoes.
 This young man was driven from white settlement not long ago and went to Syringa, where, he says, he is the center of attrac- ton. l don't doubt that, for there is only S3 people in that God-for- saken place, and 65 of them are black. Why, he is even teaching school in a blacksmith shop and it's roof is all one way, like a cotton pen. He says every man and woman has his portrait. Yes, all the gardeners and hardware stores have one; they make good scare crows, and are also used for hard ware signs.
 1 heard him ask one of his best scholars if his father had a tele- phone in his house, and the boy said no, he thought his mamma cooked the last one they had for supper. How is that for greenl He has 13 just such scholars. They are good children, but they hayn't got any teacher.
 He accuses me of drinking, but if l lived where he does l would drink up what 1 had and then com. init suicide.
 1 will tell some time why he SC dislikes hunting. He told al these Texas folks one of his Ark ansas hunting yarns and that up set his prospects here. Poor boy, l pity his wife and nine little help less children.
 He says he is getting salary ot $S50 month. If he is maybe ht will come over and pay for those overalls and the blue jumper ht got here last spring. If he does, wish he would bring my meal anC molases home that he borrowed.
 Yours very truly,
