A FAKE STORY.

few days ago a story was sent out
that mob at Devon, w. Va, had caught
a negro and skinned him alive 1t was
published in big-head lines and served as
text for many editorials denouncing the
South. The story was not sent out by the
careful Associated Press, and this paper
did not print it. 1t turns out to have
been fake for the Parkersburg, w. Va,
Sentinel says:
''The story from Bluefield that a negro
had been skinned by an Infatuated mob.
near there was not true, nor was there any
foundation for it. The entire story was
made out of the whole CLOTH
The smart Aleck" whose Munchausen
brain evolved that story probably had no
purpose to injure the South, but it will
do so. People will read it, and, not know
ing that it is false, will believe the people
of the South treat negroes as cruelty and
barbarously as do the people of Indiana
and Illinois.

TIE RIGHT STUFF.

We are gfatified to see that Mr.. w. T.
Blackwell, Jr., has been elected city engi-
neer by the board of aldermen of Dur
ham. When he was born young Mr..
Blackwell's father was the richest man in
Durham. Through misfortune and too
great generosity Col Blackwell lost his
property. The young man has recently
graduated at the Virginia Military Insti-
tute, having taken the engineering course.
He is said to be of the right stuff-a young
man of splendid capacity and character
1t is gratifying to see his home city open
the door of opportunity to the son Of the
foremost of the early founders and give
him the start to regain the fortune which
his father made and lost in that young
community.

while bribery poisons the very foundation
OF law"
1t is no wonder that the people of Mis-
souri, are talking about making this virile
and able young lawyer-he is only thirty
four-Governor of the State, and that he
is reckoned presidential possibility He
is the type of man who ought to be elected
to the highest official stations-men who
are both honest and courageous. The
chief trouble IN government today is that
there are too many men in high official
station who rattle around in the positions,
who are blind to crime and who are not
above taking graft" or who are too
cowardly to prosecute criminals who arc
high up. American public life needs more
men who talk like Folk and act like
Folk. There are plenty who talk finely,
la President Roosevelt, but whose fine
talk stops short of putting stripes OIL
corrupt public officials
Ambitious men ought TO profit by the
lesson of the rise of Mr.. Folk. If he had
followed the example of most officials, he
would have filled his position in the usual

charge of their official duties, ard to de
mand the election of such men to hign
and honorable official positions.

ruined. the complaint alleged. The jury
