accounted for the punctured tires A three
minutes search within a radius of FIVE wards

TO indicate deliberate attempt to wreck the

Long distance automobile racing really began in
1895. with the Parls-BOrdeaux contest. This was
followed In 1886 by the race from Paris to Mar

racing began TO demand general attention. with
the running Of the second Parish Bordeaux

JELks HEALTH IMPROVING.
Governor Will Return to Alabama In
 November,

From the Selma Journal.
 Deputy Insurance Commissioner H. R. Shorter has received long letter from his sister, Mrs W. D. Jelks, the wife of Governor Jelks, from Las Vegas, N. M, stating that the governor is in fine health, and that during the month of November he will leave there for Alabama.
 The governor has moved from the "Jelks cottage" back to the sanitarium. preparatory to Mrs Jelks leaving for Alabama. She Is expected to leave there at any time. MT. Shorter stated that he was expecting a telegram almost every day from her stating that she was on the way and to meet her in Birmingham. A picture of the governor has been received here and he looks splendid. In fact, he looks so much improved that his friends hope to see him back here before No vember. The governor recently sat upon his porch for two hours listening to a speech of William Jennings Bryan. After the speaking MT. Bryan raid Governor and Mrs. Jelks a visit.

HUNTSVILLE AFFAIR,
Aualnst Mob Rule

From the Boston Post.
 As corrective of the sentiment which approyes or condones the lynching of men accused of crime, such action as tnat taken by the grand jury at Huntsville Alabama, ought to have effect. This jury was specially summoned to inves0s gate the recent lynching of Horace Ma ples. and as a result of its inquiry the impeachment of the mayor, the sheriff and tl.e chief of police is recommended. These officials are charged with neg feet of duty, and in the case of the sheriff and the chief of police connivance with the mob is alleged.
 In this case as in that of the inquiry into the conduct of the Georgia militia at the tim of the Statesboro lynching A few weeks ago, 1t may be that nothing will come of 1t directly, that the indict- ments of the offending officers will not be pressed. But at least something has been ga ned when such a clear condemnation of mob rule is made by a representative body of citizens.
 If 1t is nothing more than the be- ginning of that education of public opin- ion which is sorely needed in those com munities, 1t is surely step forward. The people of Huntsville and of other southern municipalities are not so desl- t,te of American ideas of self-government as to take it lightly that their chosen representatives of authority should De pilloried before the country as recreant to their duty and as the tools or mob

LIFE's TRAGEDIES.

Gerald Gould in the Spectator Thou are not to be pitied, who hast known The threat of midnight when tho forelands moan
 And all the winds are out; Dread and despair and anguish-the great things That sit like crowns upon the brows of kings
 Or that queens weep about III by these only thou hast been &C., cursed, Grieve not too much; for these are not the It is the slow and softly dropping tears That bring the furrows to mans face; the years,
 Falling and fall'n in vain. That turn the gold to gray upon his head; And the dull days to disappointment wed,
 And pain that follows pain That make life bitter in the mouth and strew The dead with roses, but the quick with yew. Better wide and windy world, and scope For rise and downfall of mighty hope,
 Than many little ills; Better the sudden horror the swift wrong. Than doubts and cares that die not, and the long
 Monotony that kills; The empty dawns, pale stars and narrow skies. Mean hopes. mean fears, mean sorrows. and mean signs
