The remarkable increase in the
criminal propensities of the negro is
not without cause. A portion of it
may be attributed to the low grade
whisky which is finding it's way to
this section through the express
companies-and particularly the C..
0. ID. stuff dispensed from the Of
flee OF the American Express Com
pany at Greenwood. The sale of
cocaine is also serving as wonder
full stimulant to crime, and there is
every reason to believe that the sale
of this pernicious drugi is being prac-
ticed in defiance of law by the un-
principled white man, who is lower
in the estimation of all good citi-
zens than the negro fiend whom he
transforms into an irresponsible
maniac.

stopped its presses half an hour re-
Gently to remove a tabooed report
from its columns, under penalty of
refusal to give the issue use of the
mails. The Objectionable piece was
in the society notes, and related
that at Mrs. Johnson's card party
Mrs, Jones had won a chatting dish
and Mrs. Smith a glass pitcher.
The postmaster ruled that this came
under the law prohibiting the trans
mission through the mails of re-
ports of lotteries, raffles or other
gambling devices The ruling was
sustained as correct by the depart
ment, but that it was not enforced
against society card games. A bet
ter plan would be to amend the law
so as not to apply to such games

If the cod fish became extinct
it would be a worldwide calam-
ity, because the oil that comes
from its liver surpasses all other
fats in nourishing and life-giving
properties. Thirty years ago
the proprietors of Scott's Emul-
sion found a way of preparing
cod liver oil so that everyone can
take it and get the full value of
the oil without the Objectionable
taste. Scott's Emulsion is the
best thing in the world for weak,

people, and all conditions of
wasting and lost strength.

Eanged-Jury Cut More Than
Five Hours.

sequence Of the deed a jury Of twelve
citizens of the county say thai he must
pay the penalty Of death.
The last murder trial in this coun-
ty in which the defendants We're found

ton Nelson, who were tried and con-
victed at the March term of the
Court of General Sessions in 1891.
They were executed on the 10th day
Of April, 1891, in the yard of the
county jail. These defendants were
found guilty Of the murder Of Cap
tain John Maxey, of the Bradford
Springs section, and the cause Of the
deed was attributed to robbery.
John Henderson was charged with
having murdered his wife by infllct-
ing upon her two mortal wounds with
a butcher knife.
On last Friday night the foreman
Of the jury announced that it was I'M
possible for an agreement to be
reached. The judge had deputies
sworn, had the jury locked up and
adjourned court until 10 o'clock. At
II O'Clock. after having been out for
more than five hours, a verdict OF
guilty was rendered. A motion for a
new trial on Saturday was overruled,
and the prisoner was then sentenced
to be hanged on Friday, the I'd day
of June. The defendant, through his
