'Why, I'll tell you. Old Wright was
as hard a piece of cobblestone as you
ever saw. He treated his wife as
if she had been his niger, and he
never had pleasant word for any
body at home. He kicked his son out,
you know, and there's his daughter,
Miriam, a perfectly scrumptious girl,
that he didn't take any more notice
of than if she had been a mummy.
Che only decent thing he ever did
was to get himself killed, and he
couldn't help that

Frank?"
Nothing at all; but didn't 1 know
him? He used to drive up to this
office every day, never looking to
the right or left, or speaking to a
soul. All day long it was cotton re
ports, samp]ing cotton, thinking cot
ton, and, for all I know, eating cotton.
Every now and then he'd 60 off to
one of his plantations and spend a
few days cussin' out his manager and
niggers. In fact, he was perfect hog

At this point Col. Franklin came
in hurriedly and took Warde into
his private Office. "What can 1 do

off his cloak and dropping rather

Warde.

The speedy work Of the courts in
the trials OF criminals has had
much to do with cutting down this
undesirable plan of the people
taking the law into their own
hands.
The farmers and planters of
Leaore county met at Greenwood
the other day, and organized a
Farmers Association, the objects
of which is to promote the inter
ests of those who till the soil. A
large number Of the most impOr-
tant planters and farmers in the
county enrolled their names as
members, and it is predicted that
the organization will be made q
valuable as we'll as an enjoyable
association.
The man who figures that he
has a cinch on any Office In the

and rest on his laurels, for there
will be many anxious applicants

every Office to be filled, and when
politics become good and hot the
results which may follow a can

who would succeed should be alert
to every advantage to be scored in
satisfying the people that he is
the proper man for the place he
seeks.
Besides the fish found among
the foolish young women who are
dissatisfied with the work nature
has bestowed upon them and seek
refuge at the powder or lotion

women, whose compilations have
gone to seed, who spend more
time and labor upon the artificial

Of their living to deceive the eye
which sc~rutinizes them. How sad
that the younger ones do not real

would court the sunshine, and let

APPROVAL OF GOV. DURBIN.
His Course COntrasted with that of
Delaware Authorities.

Ph6adelph1a Ledger.
Governor Durbin has never been consid-
cred a remarkable parsonage. He is
plain business man, who never makes
speeches, not knowing how. and who has
given the State sensible administration.
phenomenal in no way. Always a strong
party man, he has developed into some
thing OF a politician. 1t is reassuring TO
find such a man, in an hour of crisis, rise
adequately to it, with promptness, nerve
and firrnness Even more significant than
his decisive stand while the mob was out
is his refusal TO let the negro's trial take
place Immediately, under military protec-
ton. He has two good reasons for this
refusal: First, because it would disgrace
the State of Indiana to confess to the world
that the orderly process of its justice
could not be carried on without the pres
ence of troops; and, second. because I'M
usual steps for a FASTENED trial would be
a concession TO mob spirit.
IL Is impossible to think of the Evans
vile affair without contrasting IL with that
at Wilmington. The copduct OF the Indiana
authorities shames than of the Delaware
officials at almoxt every point. The public
sentiment in the two cases is equally con-
trasted. In Wilmington. the judges decii-
for an extraordinary immediate session of
court to try him was popularity taken up
and used to Justify the burning OF the
criminal. The populace clamored for 4
speedy conviction-but the law owes an
accused person a fair trial. That could
not have been had for the Wilmington
negro at FASTENED session OF court. and
the Judges were right i'm refusing to ac-
celerate the natural course OF events. 1t
could not be had for the Evansville man
in session guarded by the military, and
Governor Durbin is right in declining 70
permit such an unusual proceeding. Hav-
ing used the military arm to make IT clear
that the State courts alone are TO Judge
accused criminals, the Governor Of Indiana
proposes further to show that the courts
may not be made instruments or popular
passion.
The country owes gratitude to Governor
Durbin of Indiana. In the presence Of
appalling disregard OF Law. nothing Is to-
day more vital for the nations welfare
than the upholding Of established authority,
the enforcement of the constitutional guar
| antees. the demonstration that this Is q
land in which law exists and must be re-
spected.
