"Might DON'T Make Right"

Because the editor of the Chronicle
is disposed to counsel his fellow-citi-
zens against infractions of law. the
editor Of the Peoples Demands, with
his usual avidity to distort our ut
terances, take the wrong side and
say the wrong thing. says we are
guilty of the ''d,imnable outrage" of
calling the good people of Pollock "a
set of bulldoozing g-lawbreakers, and
that our utterances are calculated to
''lend encouragement to the liquor
vendors" No such language or in
timation is contained in our article
which the Demands quotes and thus
reprobates, but that fact seems to
cut no figure. 1t is really useless for
us to answer such senseless twaddle,
because all of the intelligent people
Of Grant parish know our position
on the whisky question, know that
we are unalterably opposed to the
traffic, and would do and say moth
ing to encourage 1t. We have never
made any grand stand plays for ap-
planse from the mob, like our erratic
and imbecilic neighbor, but have al
ways tried to be right and just, and
criticise high and low, friend and foe,
with alike moderation and consider
alton. II any injustice is done, quick
and full reparation is our rule, when
ever the agrieved individuals point it
out. But we decidedly question the
Demands prerogative to constitute
itself censor and arbiter of the just
ness of our criticisms, until 1t shall
show less intemperance and prejudice
In its utterances. So. with or with
out our neighbOr's kind permission,
we shall continue what we believe to
be wholesome criticism and advice
against even the appearance of law
lessness i'm all quarters. 1t is true we
may have been guilty of taking part
or winking at little Outbursts of pop
ular Indignation similar to the late
Pollock "interview" with Holmberg,
land we don't blame them), but we
say the law should be supreme, and
it is decidedly best that it be strictly
observed always. Short but impru-
dent cuts outside of the law are fire.

meaning people, but it IS best to re-
member might don't make right, /"
and there is always great danger of
irreparable harm resulting from mob
methods, whether headed by preach
ers or laymen. At best it encourages
the lawless and gives them strength
and excuse for violence, when they
most need curbing and restraint.

CRISIS EXPECTED
 DURING THE DAY
sENsAfIoNAL TURN le TAKEN IN THE EFFcRTs OF TENNESSEE MINERs AND OPERATORS TO GET ToeETHRER.

Knoxville, August a-A sensatlonal turn in the efforts of the operators ana miners to agree upon wage scale oeyei- oped today when all operators or the Coal Creek district withdrew from the conference and refused to have anytmhs further to do with 1t. A few hours later the operators as body refused to aeoeoe to the proposition presented by the nlhe workers through National Secretary Wii- son.
 This proposition was that the men would continue work at a reduction equal to one-half of last years increase. That increase was 7Da per cent. Such scale would fix the wages of the men at 6lDs cents per ton compared with bS%4' the present rate. The operators announced that they would render an ultimatum to- day. The operators originally demand ed A reduction of 15 per cent, but 1t Is believed they would be willing to com promise on 10 per cent. The latter state ment is based on the fact that the Coal Creek operators who withdrew today are known to be firm for a 10 per cent cut. The Coal Creek men announced that they would hereafter operate their mines inde- pendent of. the organization.
 It was announced tonight that the crisis would be reached tomorrow. It will be either compromise or strike.

AWFUL WRECK IN

Nine. persons were killed outright, two of the injured died later of their hurts, and about fifty were injured, twenty-five of them seri- ously.

BIG PEACH CROP.
More Than Six Thousand Trees Bear
 Fruit at Tuskeeee.

Tuskegee, August 31.-(Special 1.-The orchard at Tuskegee institute contains pear trees, plum trees and peach trees, the number of peach trees being over 5000.
 Of the peach trees. some 33Oo bore fruit this season Three varities were repre- sented in these $500 trees-Early Craw- ford, Elberta and Emma; the Elberta led with 290O trees The seasons for rlpen- Ing were: Early Crawfords, June I-22; Elbertas, July 5-21, and Emmas, July 22- P6. This arrangement of varieties is ob- viously advantageous because the sea sons do not overlap, and minimum of labor is always sufficient, there being no rush periods
 The yield per tree was: Early Craw- lords 35 bushels Elbertas, .85 bushels, and Emmas, .31 bushels. The Emmas proved least satisfactory because the fruit though firm and lucious, was small The fruit of the other varieties was uni formly large, sweet and firm; indeed, ex- perts pronounced them as good as first class California fruit. The product of the orchard was, then, excellently adapt ed to shipping long distances at consid- erable profit.
 But the schools hame consumption ts so large and the freight rates were sc high that the management decided not tc ship a single bushel away. To put uI vegetables and fruit for winter a canning factory was erected on the grounds somC years ago, and before August 12 this year the factory had put up 975S gallons of peaches in tin cans.
 All the labor in the orchard and in the ranning factory is student labor.

SHELBY SPRINGS
 HAS BIG TRAGEDY
PROPRIETOR OF THE PLACE, ], w. M'MAHoN, Is KILLED BY 0. N. PORTER OF CALERA DURING A DISPUTE.

Shelby Springs, August 31-(Spe- cial.)-A tragedy occurred at this place today, resulting in the death of MT. J. W. McMahon, the proprietor of Shelby Springs hotel, about Il o'clock this morning.
 G. H. Porter, a bookkeeper, went into the hotel office for the purpose of settling for his family, who had been guests at the springs. The guests were startled by a pistol shot, MT. McMa- hon was seen to leap from the win dow of the office, and the second shot was fired. From casual examination it seems that only one shot took effect, that being presumably the first shot fired. which entered about two inches to the right of the median line and near the collar bone. MT. McMahon ran some three or four hundred yards and fell from exhaustion, dying in a few minutes.
 The assailant surrendered to the au- thorities upon hearing that his victim was dead
 The guests were greatly excited, and a number left on the monday trains.
 At this writing an inquest is in prog ress.
