The sentiment of the people of Hyatts-
Vile. Nd, is thoroughly aroused by the
manner In which the Smallwood murder
mystery is being conducted.
Some contend that the coroner has
erred by the manner in which he is con-
ducting the inquest into the death OF
Emma Smallwood.
Others contend that the course he Is
pursuing IS In strict compliance with
the law.
There is one feature OF the case
where the coroner himself admits ne
has been at fault. The jury should have
viewed the body in the room in which
Il is reported Miss Smailwood died. Had
this been done. IL is universally con-
tended that 4 better plan OF action
would have been outlined. Coroner Carr
knows that this move was wrong, and.
II is claimed, he is now trying to re-
trieve lost ground.
A great many OF Hyattsville's people
are satisfied that the case is in good
hands. and that In the end definite facts
will have been established to show
when. how. and where this woman died.
Garrison's Good Work.
The efforts of Constable Thomas H.
Garrison supplemented by newspaper
reporters, have resulted in accomplish
ing the arrest OF Winfield Scott Han
cock on the charge OF murder, and
Joshua Braxton as an accessory after
the fact The people now claim that
IL evidence warranting the arrest Of
Hancock on the charge of murder has
been gathered, the case should have
been cleared up several days ago.

AN EPITOME OF THE NEWS
Oulled From the Important Happen
ings Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed in
Brief.

The Metropolitan Investment Co.,
with headquarters at Charleston, S. G.
reports ten times as many inquiries for
southern investments as at his time
last year. The attention Of the world
is being attracted to the south and
we may confidently expect to see IN
the future greater wave of pros
perity than ever before. When the
world knows that investments here
will pay largely increased dividends
over those in other sections Of the
country, it is but natural that monied
men will seek them. When it is gem
orally known that farming pays bet
.er here than in any other section Of
the country, farmers will buy our
lands and locate on them. When it
is told abroad that stock qsaiging will
pay better here than where the win
ters are long and more severe, then
will the sensible stockman seek our
ranges for his future operations.
There is an unusually bright future
before the STATE and it is the duty
Of every loyal citizen to help spread
he desired information.
