The County Paper.

The Atlanta Constitution says:
eff any man in Georgia is taking
the Constitution and not taking
his own county paper on the plea
that he cannot afford to take both,
we say to him frankly he should
cut out the Constitution and give
his patronage to his home paper. =
This is good as far as it goes,
but the Constitution might very
properly have added that every
one should patronize home enter
prises of every kind. The mer-
chant or manufacturers, in fact,
all business or professional men,
who have their work done or who
buy their goods, be they shoes or
stationary, from foreign concerns
are not entitled to the support of
their home people. People in
every walk cf life should realize
the fact that nothing succeeds like
success, and that the way to be
successful in life is to show a
proper appreciation of those upon
whom we are dependent for sup

Editor Gonzales murderer, Jim
Tillman, goes Scott free, accord
ing to the law (?). The only les
son we can draw out of the verdict
is that gentlemen who are unarmed
should not carry their hands in
their overcoat pockets. Gonzales
was weaponless, when shot down
like a dog on the streets by Till
man. The following is from the
Memphis Commercial-Appeal:-
1.-The country will look upon
the verdict as an apotheosis of
crime. 1t means that an unarmed
and harmless citizen can be shot
down in cold blood upon public
streets and that his slayer shall 60
unwhipped of justice. 1t is an
invitation to evil-disposed people
to take life, and it will be many a
year before the stain of this mis-
carriage Of justice shall be wiped
from the escutcheon of the Pal
metto State. South Carolina must
hang her head in shame. She has
gone on record as condoning crime
and must pay the penalty in hui

New York Politicians Puzzled.

W. S. Devery, his own candi-
date for Mayor of New York, has
adopted the Bible for his platform.
Mr.. Devery will have his oppo-
nents at a great disadvantage,
whether he understands the Great
Book himself or not, for he
couldn't have pitched on some
thing that the average politician
knows less about, and especially
the New York species. The more
enlightened Tammany braves have
probably heard of the Bible at
some remote period in their career,
but too shadowy and far away to
form distinct recollection, while
the ward bosses and ''heelers''
think it's new brand of liquor.

given two months grace during which ne Is
expected to again bring the mines under
Chinese control.
The yiceroy's order says that although
merchants invested capital in the mining
company it was founded by the govern

therefore, is the property of the govern
ment. Ching Wan Tao. 1t is further point
ed out. likewise belongs to China and can
not be sold to others at the discretion Of

sHREwD swINDLER.
Relieves Several Colored Men of Hard.
Earned Cash.

The police were informed last night of the
presence in this city of swindler who had
relieved three colored men of total Of S273
The first complaint came from Harrison
Stevenson of 1921 New Hampshire avenue,
who said that he met colored man in a
clothing store, where they became engaged
in conversation. and found that they were
both from North Carolina, or at least the
stranger represented to be from that state
The stranger claimed he was employed at
the Capitol, but was going to give up his
position to accept another paying a larger
salary. He offered to secure the place for
Stevenson, and incidentally inquired If
Stevenson had any ready cash. The latter
said he had. and produced his savings of
several years, $219. The money was placed
in an envelope and handed back to Steven
son, as he thought.
The stranger agreed to meet Stevenson at
the Peace monument later in the, day. but
failed to keep his appointment. and the
Washingtonian opened the envelope to find
that several pieces OF blank paper had been
substituted for his money.
The other complaint came from Jefferson
Davis Wheeler of Altoona. Pa, who arrived
here yesterday looking for work. During
the day he met a man who promised to Sc
cure a position for him, and parted with
$24 in much the same manner as Stevenson,
and was left waiting at the city post office.
