1t Is beginning to be generally
recognized that what Is known as
the damage suit industry Is be-
coming a serious menace to the
welfare of well ordered society,
and thoughtful people everywhere
have begun to give more or less
earnest consideration to the neces-
sity ofapplying remedies. There
is no disruting the fact that when
one citizen suffers injury through
the carelessness Of another citizen
or of n corporation, by whom he
may have been injured, that the
person or corporation inhicting
the injury ought to be punished
for It's carelesssness. But it is
hardly to be denied that under
the existing system, the legal ad
justment of such matters is often
more damaging to society than
were the matters calling for ad-
Justment. The existing system is
calculated to encourage bogus
claims of all kinds, and is a mat :
ter of fact a bogus claim is estab-
lished about as easily as Just
one. There are lawyers who
make business of securing the
country for clients with claims
against corporations and lndivi-
duals, and who prosecute those
claims for percentage of the
proceeds. There are individuals,
both men and women who, after
having Informed themselves as to
the state of facts necessary TO es-
tablish damage suits, manage to
create just such facts for the pro-
fits to be had. They have no
genuine grievance; but that makes
no difference to them so long as
they are able to secure what ap-
pears to be a legal sanction OF
their fraud. Gases of this nature
take up much of the courts, and
cost the taxpayers both time
and money; but the evils refer.

In order that the public may

criticising the methods employed
10 the attempt recently made to
apprehend the supposed lynchel s
of John t. Morrison, and for the
purpose Of correcting the impress

nate affair. The statem ement con-
tanned in the recent issue of The
Stare that general indignation ex-
listed on account Of the arrest is

ion from any one of Indignation
because of the arrest, in itself,

So much for his part; now for
his connection with the Morrison
case and the methods he resorted
to. Sometime during the month
of Marcel 1905, Howie, with one
Austin, traced young Frank
Hough to Atlanta, Ga, where
they found him working for his
support and leading such life as
would indicate his resolve to re-
form and make a man of himself.
1t may be here stated that young
Hpugh lad some time previous
to his meeting with these men
and before he went to Atlanta,

but it is also true that when he
left home and undertook work IN
Atlanta he put aside his forgler
bad habits and no doubt, had he
not met his former acquaintances,
HOWE and Austin, would have
continued to refrain from drink
and evidentally made n man Of
himself. Hough was induced by
Howio while in Atlanta 10 take u
first drink, and here the circum-
stances warrant tho belief that
this first drink contained drug
OF some kind. After the first
drink it was easier to induce him
to take the second, the third and

slave of An unfortunate appetite.

and Austin induced young Hongh

After arranging Il game of poker

wero induced to take part, they
were carried to Chester, the homo

again carried in Pullman cars to
Charlotte, from Charlotte back to
Chester, from Chester to Atlanta,
aud here the crowning infamy was
resurted to. There and then these
young men were arrested and
placed IN Jail and confined in sep
arale cells. When this was done
the boy CroXton asked Howie the
privilege of communicating, by
wire or letter, with his father at
kershaw This request was re-
fused and he was told that he
would be kept in solitary confne-
ment in Atlanta and fed upon
bread ana water until he would
make statement charging GER
tain parties with the lynching of
Morrison. (Here 1t may be well
to say that CroxLon's name does
not, nor did it ever, appear in any

supposed lynchcrs, and we might

readers of the Madisonville Hus-
tier? Can Judge Given's refusal
to withdraw this baneful insinu-
alton before the election mean
anything than that the Judge
wilfullv chose to work this false
impression for all it was worth?
AS stated in our first editorial
on this subject, "THE BEE is not
interested in the political sug-
gestion contained in Judge Civ
ems paragraph" But THE BEE
resents the insult offered by in
situation in the above paragraph
to Darlington and other republl-
can "certain towns" in Hopkins
county.
Now that the election has pass
ed Judge Owens has preached a
two column editorial on purity
in politics. He finds fault with
"those who wilfully attempted
to perpetuate SANDER and mis-
represent" and hopes they "will
resolve henceforth to refrain
from villifying their fellow men,
even in the heat of a campaign,
and adds:
''And such as have not the decen.
cy and the manhood to do so, should
be discredited in the community
where we all have to live and deal
together and work for the common
upbuildIng of the city and county"
Neither The BEE nor the citi-
zens of "certain towns" need
formulate judgment against the
Judge, for the Judge has judged
himself and must remain under
the severe condemnation of his
own utterance until such time as
he chooses to make restitution
to these "certain towns" he has
slandered.
Will the Judge make restitu-
ton or will he rest under his
own condemnation?

KENTUCKY SHORT
ON EDUCATON

ON EDOCAIION.
The following article contri-
buted by the Educational I'M
provement Commission of Ken
lucky contains such vigorous eX-
hortation for higher education
al standard in Kentucky and bet
ter training for our children, that
we publish it in full and ask its
careful study by the readers of
THE BEE:
There are IN Kentucky today a
thousand schools without teachers !;
there are thousands of schools be-
ing taught by unframed teachers
and there are hundreds of thous-
ands of children growing up In ig-
norance and vice without attend
ing any school whatever. The cry
ing need of our state today is suf-
ficient corps of Normally Trained
teachers. At present, almost any
person of good moral character and
a certificate may be put IN charge
of the training of children, although
he would not be considered COM
petent to train bird-dog or colt.
To train these valuable animals re-
quires special training and prac-
teal knowledge of their nature and
characteristics, as we'll as Of the
methods best adapted to their de-
velopn.ent and training. Without
this knowledge upon the part of the
trainer, a valuable dog or colt may
be ruined. OF course the same
thing may happen to the child in
the hands OF an unframed teacher,
but it must be remembered that
there is vast difference between a
fine English Pointer or Thorough
bred Kentucky Roadster and a
mere child (?)
How long will the pride of Ken
tuckians remain dormant in the
matter of Education? How long
will we allow the mass of our grow
ing citizens to remain deaf, dumb
and blind to the best there is IN
life? How long will we withhold
the best educational advantages
from the the country people, just
because trained teachers cost more
than unframed teachers?

A WORD WITH ADVERTISERS
Xmas Advertising.

"Christmas comes but once a
year" and the wide awake ner-
chant is fully alive as to the bust
ness advantages this busy season
always brings in its train.
The retail advertiser in plan
ming and preparing his Christmas
advertising undergoes the years
most strenuous publicity exDer-
fence. For the advertising il
liberal--exceedingly so--and ev-
cry move before concluded and
every ad before written must be
duly considered.
Christmas advertising begins
the latest with the first of De-
cember- gaining in volume and
force until the 10th or 15th-re-
naming in the same degree OF
strength until the Goth or 22nd,
then easing off until the week
between Christmas and New
Years, when an advertising squirt
is taken TO instantly dispose of
the 'left overs" from the holiday
stocks. For there are any num-
Der of people who are willing to
make New Years gifts in prefer
ence to Christmas presents if they
can save money by SO doing or
can repay the social obligation
incurred by accepting the Christ
mas present of a few days before.
Christmas advertising, like
other seasons advertising, should
be well thought out and prepared
in advance. There are fortunes
lost in hastily prepared plans
and publicity and we wish to
urge that proper time and con-
sideration be gwen to all adver-
tIsing propositions.
During the first few days of
December impress upon your Gus
toners that NOW is the time to
do Christmas shopping while
stocks are newest, most complete
and at their best; when the in
evitable rush of the week or two
later can be avoided and selec-
tions made at leisure: 10th,
then Open the flood gates OF
Christmas advertising with vim
and vikor.
