ROOSEVELT ANDLYNCH LAW
Senator Bailey Arraigps President
For his Views on Mob Violence.

In his recent speech In Brooklyn,
Senator Bailey says:
If there are among us men who
justify the lawless spirit which some
times expresses itself in a public lynch
ing, they could not find IN all the range
of English literature more pointed
and completed defence of such conduct
than has been furnished by the Repub-
lican candidate for the Presidency.
Long before the dream of chief magis-
tracy of this country ever entered his
brain he devoted himself TO the more
pleasant but less pletentious task of
writing books, and in work which he
calls Ranch Life and Hunting Trail
he thus records his approval of the
mob -
During the last two or three
years the stockmen have united to
put down all these dangerous chaTac-
ters. often by the most summary exer-
else of lynch law. Bands of horse
and cattle thieves have been regularly
hunted down and destroyed in pitched
fight by parties OF armed cowboys. and
as consequence most of our territory
is perfectly law abiding.
1T is one of the interesting oddities
of the Presidents mind that he can
contemplate with equanimity, a coun-
try made perfectly law abiding by
the unauthorized and unlawful waI-
fare of the mob against the outlaws.
The President then adds, as il relating
to a commonplace incident, this mild
statement: "A little over two years
ago one committee of vigIlantes in
Montana shot OF hung nearly sixty
not, however, with the best judgment
in all cases.
In his work, entitled Winning of
the West, the President asserts that
good men in such cases. and themselves
together to put down with ruthless
severity by the exercise of lynch law
the worst offenders. In many cases of
lynch law which have come to my
knowledge the effect has been healthful
to the community.
And in another place the President |
rather defends the people of the border |
for lynching horse thieves. |
Il rejoice to know that whatever |
may have been done and said in the |
Southern states which thoughtless |
men cannot indoIse, it has never hap
pened among us that any man with
intelligence enough to write a book
IL with character enough to command
IN election to an important Office has
ever justified lynching as a punish
nent for theft.

Mr.. WILLIAMS
Says GaIIatIn FAIR is Great Success
And Many Horses Coming
Here.

Secretary R. M. Williams, OF the
Fair Association, was In Gallatin
Friday III the interest of the Maury
County Fair. He reports the Sumner
County Fair as being a great success.
This is the first fair held in Gallatin
for 80 years. Many of our citizens
will recall the big Sumner county fairs
of years ago, as that county was one
of the first to breed and exhibit fine
stock.
Mr.. A. N. Akin was in reminiscent
mood few days ago and was telling OF
the great interest shown by the Sum
ner county people around the Cos, and
wondered why they should cease hold
ing the annual fairs fol- a period OF
yer 30 years.
The Fair & Sale Association was
only organized this year, but has an
extensive arena and sale stable.
The people turned out in great num-
be1s, the attendance being three and
four thousand each day, the ladies
especially attending in large numbers
and every family spreading an old
fashioned dinner, with their character
lstlc hospitality. Nh. Williams says
he was greatly surprised in seeing so
many tne horses shown there. The
rings were all we'll filled with high
class animals, proving the stock raisers
of that community were alive to the
fact that it pays 10 breed and raise
the best.
They have no races at Gallatin-
simply an old -fashonied fail with show
rings in circular arena.
While in Gallatin, Mr.. Williams
secured the PROMISE of several very
fine stables of both race and show
horse to attend and compete at our
own big fair.
Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan F. Kenney,
Mr.. Noel, Nh. Stokes and many other
have signitied their inten-
tion of coming and exhibiting their
horses and tu1nouts at the Horse
Snow. Mr.. and Mrs. Kenney are
noted cross country riders and Will
bring their string of jumpers and thor
oughbreds. Both are finished eques-
trians and will be remembered as
being the leaders of the equestrian CO.
tillion at the Nashville Horse Show last
year.
The Maury county girls and boys |
must practice up mad not let the prizes
and trophies offered go to other coun-
ties.
Everything now points to the big
2est fair Maury county ever held.

JUDGE LOONEY
Says the Cotton Crop i'm Bissis-
sippi will be Nhorter
Than Expected.

Judge E. d. Loouey was in the civ
Ioi a day or two last week tom
DIew. Miss. tie said TO a Herald
reporter.
The cotton crop IN Mississippi IS
not turning out as was expected. The
picking has been going on for ten DAYS
now and ii is easy to be seen that we
shall not have the enormous crop that
was expected. In many of the best cot
ton growing sections of Mississippi the
continued hard rains greatly injured
the crop. and the dropping of the bolls
VIII greatly decrease the Weld. In
some places there will not be more
imam quarter of crop and through
out the entire Delta country the WELD
is going to he much shorter than was
expected The observation is, how
ever, that this will make little differ
ence to the growers. for any falling off
IN the crop is always made up for by
the increase IN price.

THE TIDE
HAS TURNED
After Desperate Battle, Japa.
nese Drive the Russians
From Lao Yang.

Gen. Kuropatkin has evacuated Lilac
Yang and has withdrawn his entire
army to the north bank Of the Tai Use
river. The tide Of battle turned after
desperate attack by the Japanese
forces, which began yesterday at day
break. 1t is stated at st. Petersburg
that Gen. Kuropatkin' movement is
not retreat, but is merely the carry
ing out of one OF his weli-defined ulans
and that having the Japanese army di-
Vided by the river he feels better able
to make stand than ty remaining at
Lao Yang. Dispatches from Toxic do
not say that the japanese have occu-
pied Liao Yang, though this report
seems to be accepted at ST. eteIsburg.
Toxic is celebrating the japanese vic
tory. A report that is regarded as pos
sibiy having an important bearing on
the campaign comes 10 the shape Of
brief dispatch from Mukden that train
service on the railroad Is interrupted.
TINS may mean cutting of the rail
road, which would preclude the Rus
SLAMS from making retreat to Muk-
den. The losses on both sides have
been heavy, and the battle has been one
of the most desperate and long-con-
tinued in the worlds history

MYSTERIOUS Deaths OF Two Pe0-
pie at Chanute.
Natural Gas Supposed to Be
Cause of Deaths.
FOUND UNCONSCIOUS.
Two Others of Rupert Family
Near Deaths Door.
One of These May Help Solve
the Mystery.

Chanute. Kan, Dec. S0.-Jesse Rupert
and his sister, Cecil Rupert, are dead,
while Mrs. Rupert, the wife, and Ethel
Rupert. another sister, are in a dying
condition as the result of being asphyX-
lated with gas. The bodies of Rupert
and his sister, together with his wife
and the other sister, were discovered
by neighbors at o'clock last evening.
Some mystery is attached to the case,
for the reason that natural gas, used
by the Ruperts, is not considered as
deadly as artificial gas
Two neighbor women went to call on
the Ruperts about the dinner hour. Re
ceiving no response to their knocks.
and feeling sure the family was at
home the women opened the door:
They saw something was wrong and
secured help in the neighborhood. Sew

The husband was found lying face

with his fingers clutehed and his face
covered with foam. The dead sister
was sitting in the kitchen facing the

HOW OLD is THE BUNT?
Cincinnati Paper Says It Was Invented
In 1876.

The Cincinnati CommerciaI-Tribu
says:
How old is the bunt?'' said an old
timer the other day, asking the ques-
ton as if he knew. No one was ready
to answer. and the man who has fol-
lowed baseball for forty years said
that he believed that he saw the player
who invented the bunt perform.
At least, to his memory it was the
first instance of such batting. Tommy
Barlow was his name. and he played
with one of the Brooklyn professional
clubs. He was a catcher and the bunt,
according to this fan, was first done
by him in 1876 In those days the
catcher wore but a small glove and
stood back to receive the delivery of
his pitcher.
Barlow was the first man to dump
the ball in front of the plate and beat
it out Pitching was slow with the en-
forced underhand motion. and his IA
vorite way was to chop the ball from
the top and beat it down on the plate,
and then dig OUT for first.
His style of batting caused conster-
nation for time until the pitchers
learned to field it. At that it was hard,
for he always dumped them just a few
feet from the home plate, which took
tall hustling to get the ball down
ahead of him.
This style would not be effective now
with the catcher up. but it worked
then.
Some one asked the other day what
the longest straight list of defeats was
that club ever received. Toledo last
year suffered seventeen straight, which
was the longest string of bitter beads
ever strung on an association dope
string.
Pittsburg, however-and it now
looks almost impossible with the team
the Pirates now support-in 1890 lost
twenty-three straight games. No club,
it is believed, has ever equaled this
record. There is balm in these figures,
just the same. Toledo took the BOBBY
prize in the "a. A. and she may some
day come to the front like Pittsburg.
