Selected"

In our issue of last week wal
an article headed "Selected". The
article was al extract from g
speech of Senator McLaurin in
reply to a speech of Senator
Spooner on the Indianola mnddle.
The writer was at home sick, when
the paper al made up and did
not read the proof-hence the
omission of credit for the articles
authorship.
The facts given by Senator Ne
LaRrin are we'll remembered by
all OF our people, who were old
enough at the close Of the war to
note current events. The stata.
ment made by him is by no means
an exasgeration. What a bless
ing it would be if the truths he
told could be lnstilled into the
minds Of every young person in
the broad southland.

JUDGE SYKES REM
MI. Foreman and G ntleman OF
the Grand Jury:
To that part Of your report
which refers to ne in such f1atter
ing and complimentary terms, |
cannot permit to 60 unnoticed.
l assure you 1t is profoundly ap-
precia;ed, and may be pardoned
for saying that if ha | served IN y
Maker with that degree of fidelity
and zeal with which | have en-
d-avored to discharge the duties
of my official position, l could
read my titles clearer to a brighter
and happier land. 1t is indeed
gratifying to II public officer to re-
ceI>e such commentator as you
have SO generously bestowed, for
the duties of this Office are highly
honorable aud responsible without
commensurate recompense for the
w,'rk, at least in this district, but
ruch Il compliment as you have
seen BIT to bestow, is far more
gratifying than gold or silver.
These are the words Of emf
dence from my fellow citizens and
co workers in the enforcement aud
vindication Of the laws of our
country. They cheer the heart
aud brighten the track of official
life. There can be no nobler or
higher calling unless 1t be that of
the ministry.
Again accept my thanks with
the hope that on your return home
you may find your respective fami-
lies we'll and happy.
10 which the Honorable O. L
Kennedy, Foreman of the Grand
Jury, replied:
"Judse, we assure you that

and each and all OF us endorse
every line. 1t is unanimous"

Roosevelt Elynching.

In another place, today I'VE print
extracts from a long letter written
by president Roosevelt to Clark
Howell, editor Of the Atlanta
CONSTITUTION" in which he makes
a disguised attempt to explain his
motives for pursuing his infa.
nous policy Of making appoint
ments in the South His effort to
distract attention from the real
question at issue in this matter is
glaringly heterogeneous aud mean
ly artful. 1t is entirely lacking
in candor and is beneath the calm
poise and dignity which should
be held as inseparable from the
exalted position which he holds.
He has, in this attempt, tried to
Sodge the real charges brought
against him by the southern peo-
pie and has laid himself liable to the
charge Of willful evasion and mis-
leading statement as to his motives
and actions. We will not now
enter into a discussion Of this
phase of the subject and will con-
tent ourselves with saying that the
real objections that our people
find against Roosevelt r his
views on the subject Of the socia,
equality of the races and his fla
grant usurpation of authority il
abolishing the post Office at In
dianola. We desire, though, t
point out to our readers the pain
full evidences Of unrest which his lei
ter discloses. He is evidently 'toucl
ed" and the tender spot is being
CALLED by the evere rubbing which
he is receiving at the hands of th'
southern people. He winces I'm
der it, and makes admission o
the pain which it gives him. II,
is running the gauntlet IN his rae
for the presidential nomination
and the enilading fire which i
being poured in upon him is ell
tirely too heavy for comfort.
We believe this is the first tim
that a president has stopped t.
notice public clamor against hi
conduct. The redoubtable rough.
rider with all his naughty vaunt
ing Of courage is whistling as hi
nears the political graveyard
which lies IN his way.

Report Of the Grand jury.
twenty Three Bills Found After Ex-
aiming Many Witnesses
Complimentary Repost In Which Judge Sykes Is
Thanked for Ills Learned and Comprehensive
Charles to the Grand Jury Since he has Served
on the Bench.

To +. O.Sykes, Judge of the Circuit
Court.
W. the Grand Jury, submit the
following report:
We have been in session five
days, have examined 145 witness
and have presented 90 bills Of IN
dictment. We feel conscious Of
the fact that the work Of the Grand
Jury has not beel as thorough as
it should have been; but we feel
that under the existing unfavor-
able circumstances that we have
done the best we could. AT the
same time we appreciate the charge
OF the Court, as to the disadvan-
tages, because of the bad roads
and the exposure to officers aud
witnesses.
Weare firmly of the opinion,
from the Investigations we have
made, that the heretofore repeated
violations of law have largely de
creased. and this we attribut.
largely to the able and surpres-
sive charges given to the Grand
Jurles by the Court, which have
been very instructive to the whole
people a we'll as to the GRAND
Juries and have been the means
of raising our people to a higher
moral standard, and cause tn EN- te
lend their help and influence to
the Court in the enforcement OF
law and order. We have examin
ed the county jail and find thu
same we'll kept, also the records i,
the Circuit and Chancery Clerk.
offices, Superintendent of Educa
tions and Treasurer's. We found
them all we'll and neatly kept and
we congratulate the whole peopl,
on being so fortunate as to have
all of the various county Offices fiji
led by nice, competent and atfable
&c ntlemen.
We extend our thanks 20 thu
District Attorney, the Sheriff ant
his deputies for their efficiency
and promptness.
Especially do we tender ou'
thanks to the Court for his abl
and instructive charge not only al
this term of the Court but a
former terms, which we believe
will be as good seed scattered
abroad that will be gathered NJ
many days hence.

The speculation in corn at Chi
cagO, the great grain ce inter- of the
country, continues notwithstand
ing the u%neqnalled product of that
cereal last year and prices con-
tinne TO rule at remarkably high
figures considering the large guam
TRY in sight. The crop of last
year was the greatest on record
and a heavy decline in prices was
confidently expected when the
movement of the crop was under
way. This expectation was disap.
pointed and corn remains high.
This is attributable to speculation.
The bulls Il I'd the bears in the
grain pits keep mp the constant
fight to which they are accustom-
ed and without which their occu,
patton would be gone. There is a
bull for every bear and vice versa.
If in their fighting nobody was
hurt except themselves probably
the country would not lose. As it
is the country would profit # every
bull would kill his bear aud every
bear would kill his bull.

Good Health

and pure blood are i~nseparable. If
your blood is bad, your health must suf-
fer. Poor blood allows the body to lose
vitality just as a poor fire under the
boiler allows the steam to run down.
From poor blood to impure blood is but
a step, and impure blood is mother to a
large percentage of human ills. DR..
Harter's Iron Tonic is an antidote for
both poor and impure blood, for it is
both a builder and purifier II food
and a medicine. 1t is the best combi-
nation of the kind known to medical
science, and its success for nearly half
a century has led to its endorsement by
thousands of medical men who have
been unable to find a substitute.
