Crime is the Devil in Action, Says
Judge Cochran.

Judge R. F. Cochran, Of the
Tenth judicial Circuit district,
recently gave the grand jury Of
Clark county the following to
take with them and digest:
Crime is simply the devil in
action. The criminal law does
not touch a man until the devil is
manifested in the action.
tGod Almighty not only gave
man a form Of moral government,
but he also gave him a form Of
civil government. The criminal
law is taken bodily from the BIZ
BILE, and was designed to subju-
gate the devil in human conduct.
God Almighty never does any
thing for man that he can do for
himself, and if he will not use the
criminal law as designed and for
INFLATED by God Almighty to sub
jugate the devil, he simply stands

Senatobia, Miss, April 90
Perhaps the most startling report
in the terrible tragedy took place
this morning when John Pearson,
an influential merchant and PLAN
ter Of Strayhorn, attempted to
commit suicide BY taking NOR
phine. Some of his neighbors
had accused him of being impli-
Gated in the murder of Sheriff
Poag last week, and becoming
temporarily insane with remorse
he sought to end his life, and thus
escape the accusations made
against him. He is a brother-in-
law of j. III. Thomson and Tate
McC onneII, the former leader of
the mob and the latter one of the
members of it.
Buster Thomason, the young
man who was killed by James
Whit, was his nephew by mar
rage and first cousin to his boys.
There is no doubt that the man
sought to take his own life, be-
cause of the trouble he had expe-
|rienced since the murder of Sher-
if Poag. Saturday afternoon he
was in Senatobia and while there
went around to see Mr.. Gabbert,
and told his troubles.

aside and let's the devil run the
community. Your public officials
are responsible for the reign of
the devil. They are all sworn to
assist in the administration of the
law, but it is a shameful fact that
too many Of them, as soon as they
are elected, at once try to run
with the good people and the dew
IFS crowd; too many Of them are
what / term religious snollygos-
tiers, moral eunuchs, political
Siamese twins, one half Of them
God Almighty, the other half the
devil; one hand out trying to
catch the votes Of the good peo-
pie, and the other hand out trying
to catch the votes Of the devils
crowd. Endeavorlng all the time
to bring about dogfall between
God Almighty and the devil in
the enforcement of the criminal
laws resolves itself into contest
between God Almighty and the
devil. What ought to be done

and are quoted, as follows:
"The financial condition of the State
of New Jersey is well known. At the
close of the last fiscal year the balance
IN the treasury amounted to $2,94O,9l8
SO. The ordinary receipts for the same
year amounted to $4,3O2 $40 81, of
which nearly IS pei cent or $3,35l 543,
50 came from railroads and the busl-
ness companies domlciled in our State.
Of the entire income Of the government
not a penny was contributed directly
BY the people, yet all of it was exp nd
ed for their benefit and in their inter-
est. The interpretations in one State
for ten months of last year show an &C.
tive capital of $ll1 ,255 500; in another
State 1881 ,97l 500; in another 1886,
553, ZOO; in New Jersey 1918, $4,000.

has bsen paying $4,000 annuity ever
since. This same company could have
gone to another State, secured more
liberal charter, under lax laws, for less
expense, and have done business in New
Jersey by paying the sum of $40.
1t may be explained that on all the
capital stock of companies incorporated
in New Jersey tax is laid, and from
this source arises the immense revenue

answered in the affirmative in the past
ten years. With the added attractions
of the city the ranks of the wealthy,
pleasure-loving class who spend the
winters here have been increased by
millionaires from all sections of the
country. Many Of them have built
homes in the city and in the cases of
the Washes, Pattersons, Wadsworths,

been erected, that their owners might
entertain in style of magnifcence and
