practically everybody stirring saw
Thomas jefferson and took a shot
at him.
Now we venture 10 say that this
performance could not possibly be
reproduced under similar circum-
stances in Charleston, Atlanta,
Mobile, Galveston, or New Orleans.
In the first place, an equal number
of citizens would not have been
carrying guns. In the next place,
Southern men of even the smallest
pretension to responsibility do not
shoot at every colored person who
passes in run. When they COM
NIT that kind of violence, they must
have mighty good reason for it.
We say nothing of the mob of whites
who finally captured the poor devil,
and who, by a common impulse,
proceeded to hang him. That has
never occurred in any Southern
community-could not possibly
occur unless the whole nature of
the population were absolutely
transformed. Our point is that in
New York City, where they are so
ready to condemn and execrate the
South and to vaunt themselves on
their alleged civilization, almost
every white man in the streets at
the time had a pistol in his pocket
and instinctively sought the death
ola miserable fugitive as to whose
offence they knew literally nothing
save that his skin was black
We pass over the gun play.
Apparently, New Workers carry
revolverS without in the least
knowing how to use them. What
impresses us is the superior civil
lizatiOn" which prompts It's expo
netsto shoot at a hunted negro with
out asking a question as to his
crime, or even caring whether he
had committed Washington
Post.

HEARST AND BRYAN.

1T will be Bryan by acclama-
ton, reiterated Norman +. Mack,
of Buffalo, when asked as to the
political outlook for 1905 recently.
And | should not be surprised to
see Roosevelt his opponent, Mr..
Mack added.
Hearst will be nominated for
governor of New York State. "
continued Mr.. Mack, 'and he will
be elected. He will carry the
States by 100000 plurality. The
possibility of his having to serve
a term as mayor of New York City
will not be a factor in the guberna-
torial campaign, l think, for there
seems TO be little likelihood of the
ballot boxes being reopened.
DO / think Tammany will be
in line, for Hearst? Tammany al
ways is in line, and there will be
no dropping of Hearst's majority
for governor because of the mayor
atty fight last fail and the bitterness
then engendered.
Altogether conditions never
were more propitious for Demo-
cratic success than they are now.
In our State all the factions are
fusing fast and there is not ripple
of discOrd to mar the harmony
that pervades the party. RooSe-
velt's rate bill Juggling has hurt
the Republican cause and made
proportionate capital for the Dem
ocrats, and last weeks episode will
not be without its effect in all the
nearing elections. l look for a
Democratic sweep"

He organized the young women
into st. Agnes" guild.
He organized and carried on per-
sonally night school in the Cotton
Mill village. This school had forty

portunity for learning and knowl-

And thus | might mention many
other fruits of this good tree"
but that which | have said is sufii-
cient to show why the people of
the Episcopal church regret his
going and look forward with dis
may to the task of replacing him.
This slight and inadequate testi-
monial would be sadly incomplete
without tribute offered to that
able co-worker and noble woman
Mrs. Allan.
1t Is rare indeed to find a minis
ter's wife so congenial, so sympa-
thetic and so energetic in cooper
ating with her husband in his work.
She is a splendid teacher in the
Sunday School. She is a gentle
woman in the truest sense Of the
word. She is tacted and generous
minded and well beloved both by
her many friends in the church
and those outside of it. The fact
that we must give up Mrs. Allan
accentuates our regret in losing
Mr.. Allan.
While the church will suffer
from Mr.. Allan's loss, they can
but congratulate him upon the fact
that in accepting this importunate
and oft repeated call to Jackson
vile, Ala, that he is lettering his
position both financially and for
the reason that he is returning to
an old parish that he served for
quite a number of years, thirteen
years ago.
We regret their going but we
are grateful for the benefits of
having them here.
Mr.. Allan found this little mis-
sion church in a depressed condition
and he leaves it a Furnishing parish.
To quote the words of Bishop
Bratton in speaking of him. He
has done a wonderful work."

A CORRECTION.

In Captain Grifith's card last
week relative to Pedler's License,
the COURIER made an error in the
amount Of license required of these
dealers, as well as the fine imposed
for violation of the law.
The license required of pedlers
on foot Is $3.50 per annum; the
license required ofpedlers by wagon
is $500 per annum.
The fine for violation of the law
is not less than 500 normore than
$500.
All interested parties should take
notice of this correction.

Estimating a Horse,s Heirht.

The Arabs have two methods of esti.
mating the height to which a colt will
grow, the first being to stretch a cord
from the nostril over the ears and
down along the neck and compare this
measurement with that from the with.
ers to the feet, and the other method
being to compare the distance between
the knee and the withers with that
from the knee to the coronet In the
first method 1t IS considered that G
colt will grow as much taller as the
first measurement exceeds that OF the
second, and IN the second method, II
the proportion is as two to one, the
horse will grow no taller.

CIVILIZATION AND GUN PLAY.

We have had frequent occasion
in the past to comment upon the
noisy claims Of superior civilization
set up by communities like New
York when condemning what they
are pleased to describe as the bar
Darism" of the South. 1t has al
ways seemed to us that everything
depends upon the standard of civ
iliZation, its fruits, as expressed
in the general welfare; the public
and private behavior of the people
and the nature of the protection to
life and property guaranteed by
the diffent systems. In our phil
OsOphy, the perfectly civilized
community Is that in which the in
dividual Is made secune in his per-
sonal privileges; where he can pur-
sue his call without molestation or
interference; where the rights of the
humblest are respected, and where
order Is maintained at any cost.
And, after a great deal of studious
observation, we have reached the
firm belief that the everage South
ern town is infinitely more civiliz-
ed than the metropolis.
Take, for example, the Thomas
Jefferson case, on Broadway, last
Monday morning. This is the case
of colored person pursued by
policeman in one of the most thickly
populated localities of Americas
specimen metropolis. As the man
and brother turned into Broadway
from Sixty-eighth street, a repre-
sentative of New York civilization.
accompanied by a lady friend.
alighted from a street car. The
man knew nothing except the fact
that a negro was running rapidly,
but he pulled a revolver, without
asking questions, and tried to shoot
the fugitive. The latter sped along
down Broadway, and, about the
the middle of the block, ran close
to an automobile carrying four
persons. The auto put on a squirt.
and, when it got within a few feet
of Thomas Jefferson, one of the
occupants drew his gun and let fly
twice at the hunted wretch. In
SiXty-seventh street, just off Broad
way, the chase passed the Hotel
Boulevard. Anoter highly cult
waited New Yorker happened to be
standing around, and, as soon as he
saw the flying darkey, out came
another repeater, and more lead
was flung at Thomas jefferson.
All this took place at about 1:3O a.
m. time when very few people
were abroad. 1t is entirely rea-
Sonable to assume that at such an
hour and in such a neighborhood

Christmau opposed him in the first
game and Holycr-ss in the second
game
In The first game the visitor lost
their only chance 10 score in the
fourth inning. Henline led off with a
clean double. but the next two men
up flew out. Johnson drew a base and
Craig famed
The locals used Christman to fatten
their batting averages. every man on
the team securing one or more hits.
They started the ball going in the
third inning. Roland lived on Claire's
error, Blauser hit safe and Dithridge
sacrificed. Quiesser singled scoring
Roland and Blauser. Bissel and
Powers few out.
In the fourth after two men were
down Long and Roland singled scor
ing on Blauser's double. Dithridge
went out from short to first. After this
Chrfstman settled down and the locals
were not able 70 register any more
scores.
