Disorderly Conduct.

On Friday evening after s
O'Clock the report Of pistol was
heard on n. Maysville street near
Exchange Bank, and crowd
gathered The report was circu-
lated that Bob Shuliz, saloonist,
had shot at Jesse Hainline, sa-
loonist, whose back was to Shultz
There was talk about registration
certificates and other affairs as
connected with the shooting.
Again it was said that Shultz did
not shoot at Hainline, but was
only clubbing him over the head
with pistol, and the pistol was
discharged. If there was any ar
rest we did not hear Of it, On
saturday morning Shuliz appeared
fbefore City Judge Groves and con-
fessed his guilt on the charge of
disorderly conduct" and paid into
he city Golfers In fines and cost
about Sl4, and went his way for
other diversions from the arduous
duties of daily life. There APP
peared to be no disposition on the
part of those who saw the Difficult
~, or any one elee, to ascertain
definitely whether there was an eff
fort to kill man, or only club him
oycr the head with a loaded pistol,
or merely to disturb the peace and
dignity of this great and glorious
commonwealth,
That is nearly as reproachful as
fping wood-be murderer $3.50

An ordinary good natured, jolly
drunk frequently is worth that
much.

THE BIG DIANOND.

Robinson CrusOe, I'VE believe 1t was,
moralized' pathetically over the use
lessness of certain gold he found in
his wrecked ship and reflected how
much more useful to him would be. a
few pounds of bread or even some
needles or powder and ball. Some
thoughts of the same kind, thinks the
Richmond News, must suggest them
selves to the owners of the 1925, 00O,-
600 diamond, said to have been found
in South Africa. Because it is the
largest and finest diamond in the
world nobody wants to have it cut up
and sold in fragments. But what can
anybody do with it?
Its possession would involve the
employment of small army to defenc
il. The woman who went abroad with
a Sl25, 600, 600 stone, large as goose
egg and flashing like a sun, might
have some thrills of pride in the con
seriousness of adornment impossible
TO all the other women in the world
but even this enormous feminine per-
sonal consolation and comfort woulC
be destroyed by the constant anxiety
for it's safety and the knowledge OF
suspicion Of ceaseless plots to secure
it even at the cost of her life.
The stone could not be used to buy
food or clothes or even to get a mar
out of "a strange town in a pinch, be
cause no pawn shop could handle it
and no bank would wish to number
among it's assets a thing which could
be picked up, carried away and los
by child while representing more
than the total assets Of the institu
ton.
What will be done with the find
how it will be utilized and who will b'
its ultimate owner are subjects of curl
Gus speculation. No monarch in the
world is rich enough to buy it to veal
in his crown, and no individual in the
world can afford to become its pos
SCISSOR: and certainly it would be use
less to a syndicate except to be de
StrOved and divided.

A STATES BIG PICKINGs.

In his inaugural address Governor
Stokes of New Jersey gave the eoun-

garding the profits within the reach of
y state which licenses big trusts and
corporations to violate the laws and
prey upon the people of other states.
At the close of the last fiscal year
New Jersey had balance of 81, $40, =

4 single cent by direct taxation: yet

usual expenses of state government,

Stokes calls warning attention to the

SURPRISING NARROwNEss.

Some little fellow Chats the only
kind who do not write their names un.
der such communications) who signs
himself 'Non-Partisan Farmer" has
criticised the Southern Interstate
Cotton Growers Convention for max
ing Hon. Thomas f. Watson, who
was a delegate at large from this
state, a member of the national eXecu-
tive committee, and asks where were
uhe democrats that they should have
allowed this to- be done.
Fearful that there might be others
like this 'non-partisan, and the
GREAT movement that has been in
augurated to secure for the farmers
OF the south better price for their
cotton would be injured if he remained
an official of the organization, Mr.
Watson has magnanimOusly rendered
his resignation of the position with
which the convention honored him. His
action is to be regretted, for he was
naturally looked upon as one OF the
most useful leaders in this fight for
the south's agricultural prosperity.
1t would be interesting to know what
mans political belief has to do with
a movement to get better prices for
cotton. The communication of this al
legged ''non-partisan" was as untime-
~ and uncalled for as his narrow
ness and petty spite are surprising
Democrats, populists and repubH-
cans are all wanted and needed in this
great contest
