An Appalling Record.

A we'll informed citizen. residing in SSSa SSSSnty has, has list 1,rd of the ',SG,; 9S@
 he fdes last hat s2y days wSn radnt Th thirty miles of his home, and that list shows eleven. The thirty mile limit takes in portion of Monroe County. but nine of the eleven have taken place within the boundaries of Wilcox. In nearly every instance 1t was a negro against negro. and the concealed pistol instance the participants were young persons. The old Confederate soldier. the ante-bellum white and the old-tine darky seem not to be in it-they serve as balance wheel to the suppression of all crime.
 We shudder- when we contemplate what will happen when these restrain ing elements are asleep in death. and the young of the two races are left without their influence for good. With smattering of education the negro sity live by theft: he refuses to fulfill the duties of good citizenship. to keep the place assigned him by nature, and armed with six-shoeter and infiamed by brutal passion and strong drink. he comes in contact with or runs counter to the will of q superior race. who far less conservative than were their fore fathers, yet have the same love of coun- try and home. Having been born un- der different political conditions they arc less tolerant, and being wrought to q lItH69 dN NIlt bt h hCW so frequent-snd heretofore almost un- known--we fear the awfhl conse- qucnces of lynch law instead of legal executions.
 While that elder and conservative element ahides with us. let it he their duty to see that our courts dispense that thev do not claim exemption on ac- count of age and to keep from sitting on juries--that they condemn the attor- ney who resorts to trickery and dis honest methods to shield the guilty, but see that they conduct their cases as Judge Miller so stated in his able charge to our last grand jury, when he said, "an attorney's duty to his client per formed wheM he labored to see that his client was not convicted illegally, and .it was not his duty. to defend a man man must oe pronouneed guilty except by due process @ law"

 The Augusta Chronicle rather unfair iy. we think. cannot see any reason why the English people should be asked or expected to take an interest in the proposed Pocahontas monument As, The Petersburg Index-Appeal says:
 This is a very strange view of the case. Whatever services Pocahontas rendered the Jamestown settlers, the benefits were enjoyed by the English government and by. its subjects, who founded a colony in the new world which Great Britain governed for nearly one hundred and seventy years. or more than one h' Sdred and fifty years aftepS the death of the Indian Princess. It will probably not be nee essary to solicit or accept contributions from the British people to provide a testimonial to the memory of the hu- Hiane and benevolent young princess, under whose protecting care the Eng fish colony at Jamestown survived and prospered, but as to the propriety of such contributions. nothing could be more appropriate as a mark of national gratitude and as testimonial to one that had done a great work in the cause Of humanity and civilization. Such contributions are not not only a duty but a right which the British people should insist upon exercising.

Springfield Republican.
 The Department of Justice has de- cided that United States Circuit Judge Francis E. Baker of Indiana can not Do prosecuted for violating the civil ser vice law prohibiting the solicitation of political contributions from Federal employees. Judge Baker is guilty of that ofrense. which was committed within the next year after his ap- pointment by the President to his pres ent high Judicial position. The De- partment of Justice finds that tho hon orable judge escapes legal punishment because of the statute of limitations. But the case is now before the Presi- dent himself, and It is hoped that he will not let the statute of limitations prevent him from expressing himself forcibly in public concerning the dis tihgulshSd Jurists course. Ills honor can not be removed from the bench eN- cept through impeachment by Con gress; If Mir.

Interested in Indsan Papoose.

Do You. know what lhas most in. terested mo in this Street Far! asked an out of town visitor yesterday of Montgomery friend. Tt is the iit- tie Indian papoose. This matter oI Tact, self-satisfied little creature mas given mo more entertainment than ahy thing else l have come across Tn ail o. he Tor she, I really can't tell which ls Is. is more than years old. And looking at 1t, I have wondered II Tn dian children ever cried >like white children. have been 10 two per formances of the cowboys and the Tn dians and I have watched this child 2 number of times on the street ana have never yet seen. 1t wrinkle US race or attempt to cry in any way. . everything that goes on ana us littF black bead-like eyes glistens with ex-' citement when anything out of the ordi- nary is on. When the war dance and the wild Indian music starts, the papoose gives comic imitation or the braves and squaws in the ghost dance or the war dance and it manifests at all times desire to get Tn whatever goes on.
 T saw the father. mother and papoose take a sightseeing stroll yes- terday and followed them four blocks. Suuaw and brave were as considerate of the child and as much interested In its impressions as any American mother and father could have been.
 'After all. however, there is only thin difference between the savage mother and father and the civilized mother and father when it comes to the offices of a parent.
 The Indian papoose is the cutest toy I have seen at the Fair.

here is advised that meeting between
Emperor William and Emperor Mich

informed quarters it is learned that
the kaiser at his meeting with the
czar expressed his views on absolute
monarchies and the proper relation of
the socialistic interest as a sovereign
ruling by divine right to the only other
emperor whose authority is similarly
derived. In the matter of external pol
icy the kaiser's purpose was to dis
suade Russia from abandoning definite
ly her policy of expansion in the ex-
treme orient, and especially to discour-
age her from turning towards Asia

PRESIDENT OBJECTS.
Asks Withdrawal from Circulation
Of Booklet Containing
His Portrait.

Spokane, Wash, July 27. President
Roosevelt has objected to Spokane's
literature bearing his portrait on the
title page. Secretary Monroe, of the
chamber of commerce, received letter
requesting the withdrawal of the bro.
chure on the Lewis and Clark Trail
from publication. The letter is dated
from the white house, Washington,
July 10, addressed to the chamber OF
commerce at Spokane, and declares that
President Roosevelt is very much op-
posed to the appearance of his portraits
in advertisements of any character, AMI
requests that the booklet of which the
cover was inclosed be Immediately re.
called from circulation and .notice be
given when this is done. The letter was
signed by A. S. Barnes, acting secre.
tary. President Goodell, of the chamber
Of commerce, is of the opinion that the
request should be complied with, al
though there is no law compelling the
recall of the booklet, or it's further cir
culation. The chamber of commerce at
a special meeting Tuesday cancelled an
order for $4,000 of the pamphlets and
took steps to call in, as far as possible,
those distributed.
