KittreiI Post Office Changes Hands.

The kittrell post office matter
about which there has been so much
contention OF late, has finally been
settled, J. Ed Smith having received
his commission and taken charge of
the office When Mr.. Finch's reno
val was first mOOted strong efforts
were made to have him retained and
for awhile it looked as if he might
hold on. He gaveentire satisfaction
to the patrons of the office and there
seems to have been no reasonable
cause for his removal. But the place
was wanted for another. Politics

Death of O. w. BIacknaII. Jr,

A few days ago Mr. 0. W. Black
nall, of kittrell, received telegram
announcing the dying condition OF
his son, 0. W., Jr., in Arizona, with
er he had gone for his health. Mr..
BlacknaIl started for the West at
once Yesterday came tidings of the
young mans DEATH His companion,
Mr.. CawthOn, stated that he would
leave Immediately for home with the
body. Mr.. Blacknall had not reached
Arizona and efforts were made to in
terrept him.
The death of young Oscar Black
nall is peculiarly sad. He had been
in failing health for some time and
the latter part of December it was
decided that he should ito Arizona
in hopes of being benefited But his
case was too far advanced and the
change must have FASTENED the end.
He was a bright young man, with a
genius and aptitude for business and
was very popular. His death will be
deeply deplored by all who knew him.

THE DELAWARE CRIME

New light is thrown upon the Della
ware lynchlng, which is one Of the hor-
rors OF which our time has It's full
measure, by story told editorally In
the New York Evening sun Of June 20.
According to this story, clergyman Is,
to very large extent, held responsible
for that nendish violation Of law aud all
principles OF humanity. one Sunday
evening according to the sun, VIII
mlngton clergyman. exhibited In his
pulpit some leaves spattered with the
blood Of the Victim OF the negro White
and condemned the judges for refusing
to order an early trial Of the prisoner,
Should the murderer Of Miss Bishop be
lynched?' asked the Clergyman, Eyes"
he went on, but only under one con-
dtlon, and that is this II his trial
shall be delayed until September, and
then though he be proven guilty,
through some techneslty Of the law or
any undue Influence upon either judges
or jury, he be not given capital punish
ment. then the citizens OF the state
should arise In their might and execute
the criminal and thus uphold the maJes-
~ Of the law. Tonight the accused is
IN jail, with armed guards parading
about for his protection, waiting until
the middle of September. Is that speedy
lis that even constitutional? The at
torney general of the state, in response
to public demand, appealed to the judg-
es OF the court to convene the court and
to empanel the grand jury to lmmedl-
ately try the case, and their answer to
this just and righteous appeal was 10
say No
II is easy to imagine the effect Of this
eXhortatlon In the pulpit The clergy
man in this instance. instead OF acting
as the spokesman Of Reason and the sup
porter OF the lawful authorities, us
every clergyman should be, placed him
self among the traitors TO the govern
inent who encourage mob violence. and
Il is no wonder The mob got together
and acted on the broad suggestions.
But there is no prospect Of a saner fu-
ture In these matters, as long as the
pulpit allies Itself With the anarchlstic
elements to whom the regular processes
Of law are obnoxious But what are the
Christians" Of Delaware going to do
about this? Unless they protest, they
WIN be considered accomplices after the
fact In the crime committed. apparently
through the encouragement OF the pull
pit,
