 Court of Cherokee.
 1. Sheriff; duty and liability after levy of attachment.-While 1t is the duty of a Sheriff, who has the custody of property under the levy of an att taehment, to preserve 1t and keep 1t safely, he is not an insurer of the prop erty against fire; and it is incumbent upon him only to use that reasonable care and diligence in keeping such property, which a man of ordinary dis erection and Judgment might reasonably be expected to use in reference to his own property; and if while in the ex- ercise of such care, the property Is de- stroyed by fire. while in his custody, the Sheriff Is not liable for a breach of his official bond.
 2. Sheriff; breach of official bond; suficiency of complaint.--In an action against a Sheriff and the sureties on his official bond to recover damages for the breach of such bond by the sheriff's failure to execute a writ of venditioni exponas, it is necessary that the complaint should aver that the fail ure to execute such writ was wrongful, negligent and the like; and in the ab- sence of such averment the complaint is subject to demurrer.

 Just after the arrival of the German cruiser Bremen here today Mayor My CTS and others went to visit the ship. Captain Hoeh seemed to miss some one. He finally asked why the collector of the port was not with the party that greeted him. Mayor Myers tried to tell him. The collector is a mulatto and is thus cut out from social affairs.
 This has been the case for about eight years, and Captain Hoch Is the ,'the collector. He did not understand. apparently, what the real trouble was

Mr.. PARRY, AS USUAL,
is "AGlN" EVERYTHING

The Journal this morning publishes
the address of ID. NJ. Parry. President
of the National Manufacturers Asso-
citation, delivered before that body
in Atlanta yesterday. AS was TO have
been expected. Mr.. Parry is "agin"
nearly everything on the calendar.
Mr.. Parry vigorously assails govern
mental or municipal control of public
utilities and opposes the regulation of
railroad rates by the interstate COM
merce commission. He says that
that labor agitation during the past
year has resulted almost uniformly in
failures and by reason thereof fully
1900 concerns have been changed from
the closed to the open shop.
In opposing the movement to regu-
late railroad rates, Mr.. Parry takes
the position that the shippers of the
country do not desire lower rates, as
the charges are now lower than In
many other countries, but that they
do want equal treatment, and in the
next breath. says: Unjust discrimin,
atoms between localities and kinds of
traffic ought TO be susceptible to cor
rection through the application of the
police powers of the government, the
same as unjust determinations be-
tween individuals" Mr.. Parry evil
IDENTIFY does not realize that the pres
ent agitation against the railroads :s
principally to enforce the police
power" to which he refers, to prevent
the discrimination of which he COM
plains.
On the tariff question Mr.. Parry
takes the stand that reciprocity is
more to be desired than tariff revision.
but fails to explain how reciprocity
could be attained without a reduction
or revision Of the present high tariff.
The situation, he believes. calls for
conservative rather than radical
policy.
Taken as whole there is nothing
particularly brilliant or startling
about Mr.. Parry's address. On the
contrary it is simply the old song of
the capitalist, monopolist and foe If
organized labor.

Dirty Campaign Methods
Can't Win.

The city campaign may now be con-
sidered as fairly "on," certificates Of
nomination or properly signed petit
tons being flied for each candidate
yesterday so that the names of all
those who have announced will appear
on the ticket to be voted June 6.
So far as the nominees of the White
Democratic Primary are concerned the
general prospect for the election of
the entire ticket grows brighter every
day. There has really never been
much doubt of their election since the
magnificent vote of nearly 1000 was
rolled up in the primary of April 4, but
il there should have been doubts the
strength which the movement has been
gathering since then ought to dispel
all of them.
Certain of the opposition 10 the
White Primary candidates has reSorted
to such low and irresponsible tactics
for the, thus far, only visabIe feature
of its campaign that these tactics have
in themselves Disguised hundreds of
people
Rumors, of the most ofsreputable
sort and rejecting on personal charac-
ter, are put OUTPUT with no one to
stand responsible for them.
Anonymous communications, all
bearing the car marks of one writer,
but signed by different nom de plumes
are published-but no one has the
courage to stand responsible for them.
Anonymous publications are circu-
lated from hand to hand Throughout,
the city. Where they come from no
one knows, but this much is known
no one has yet been heard to say who
pays for them or who ia responsible
for them.
An opposition that bases its claims
for support on this kind of a cam
paign is not deserving of the conf
dence OF any one.
Such campaign shows in itself the
weakness and the worthlessness of all
its pretentions.
The vast majority of the White vot-
ers OF the city are opposed to such
tactics and they would for that rea-
son, if for no other, support the
White Democratic ticket which ap-
pears at the head Of this column.
The day of dirty politics has long
since gone by-it can't win among in
telligent men.
