--e@----------------- THE GADSDEN LYNCHlNG.

From the Gadsden Journal
 The action of the mob Saturday night in taking from the county jail and hang ing defenseless negro against whom no legal indictment had been found and who in all probability was in no way responsible for the crime with which it was sought to connect him. does not in any sense reflect the sentiment of this community. The severest strictures are heard on every hand. There was abso- lutely nothing to justify the lynching and the participants are guilty of com mitting cold-blooded murder without one extenuating circumstance. The good people of the community were not only surprised and shocked, but they thorough ly resent this outrage against our fair name. The action of the mob was so un- called for so unjustifiable and so devoid of all human principle that no words can fully convey the reproach which the members of it have brought upon them selves Every effort should be made to ferret out those who engaged in carrying out the nefarious plot and bring them to justice. They should be made te feel the power of the law for which they have shown so little respect. Their action was cold premeditated murder and their pres ence in the community is a constant men, ace to the maintenance of law and or der There is but one thing for the com munity to do and that is to find these men and no matter who they be, punish them in a way that will forever stamp out in Etowah county the spirit of law lessness which lends itself to the com mission of such acts as the taking of hu- man life on mere pretext. A lynching under any circumstance is a cowardly unjustfable procedure and, in case like this, where merely a shadow of sus- picion rested, on the victim, 1t is brutality and degradation itself.

From the Savannah News.
 The topical and much derided song, Everybody Works But Father" seems to have had it's illustration in the case of Mormon who ded in Utah the other day leaving seven widows and as many families. It seems that each fam fly was settled upon separate farm, and that each farm was tiled and harvested by the family upon 1t. "Fath- er" therefore, had nothing to do except move around from one farm to another and sell the products from it.

GROSS DECEIT.

GROSS DECEIT.
 When wifey's away
 Then hubby will play
 And write that he's sad
 When really he's bad. A college graduate who died the other day summed the society of women be- cause he said they could not be trusted. He was a drunkard and an outcast. His mistake lay in not discriminating be- tween good women and bad women. The boil weevil is marching to the sea and he may do more damage than Sher- man did.
 Despite the fact that some of us haven't paid our winter clothing bills yet, spring styles are being trotted out
 THE TOUGH.
 It's easy to lend
 Your cash, alack,
 But devilish hard
 To get it back. Since adulterated communion wine has been discovered we insist that the egg only is still pure food. PAUL COOK.

RELIGION IN KANSAS.

From the Kansas City Star
 In Wichita a few nights ago a man "got" religion. He ran up the aisle of the church and shouted: "Glory, glory; I want to get rid of this bad habit!' Talk ing piece of tobacco from his mouth, he threw 1t high in the air, and it came down on a pew occupied by some woman up in front. There was great applause over the demonstration which proved that another sinner had been saved.

CONTENT.

 They talk about the glories of
 The lands across the sea; The sun that shines In Italy
 The life in Germany. They talk about the grandeur of
 The cities over there, The charm of old-world atmosphere,
 The grace of women fair. The scenes that wake a poet to song And stir a painters heart, The mountains and the villages,
 The hum of busy mart; The lakes that mirror sunshine, and
 The valleys sweet and still The winding of the rivers and
 The notes that songbirds trilI; The wealth of pretty flowers there,
 The azure of the skies, The ba1my breezes blowing there
 In haunts where pleasure lies. They talk about the glories of
 The lands across the sea, But here in Alabama life
 Is good enough for me.

N PRETTY girl apparently a mem WD1 Der of a theatrical company, was
 reading letter in the lobby of the postoffiee. Her face was lighted up with a smile that was wonderful to see and one would judge from her sparkling eyes that the letter contained good news. Perhaps some other woman, few feet away was reading a letter whose con tents made the tears start to her eyes and brought look of sadness to her face.

Spelling Names.

Tt is a remarkable thing to find many people In Birmingham who cannot spell a proper name correctly" said a city of- ficfal yesterday. "The new city code of Birmingham contains an error in the name of one of the principal city off, cials. and the mistake is not the result of a typographical slip,
 "The name of Chief of Police Wier is spelled in the city code Weir I dare say that two-thirds of the city officials could not spell his name correctly.
 Another error which occurs frequently is in the spelling of the name of former Chief Mullin of the fireman. Everyone wanted to put an e instead of an T in his name.
 "I have watched this matter of spelling proper names in Birmingham. It does seem to me that in getting out an off, cial book like the city code the name could have been spelled properly"

The Carnival Season.

'Mardi Gras comes this year on the Hth of February, but already several thousand visitors have arrived in New Orleans and the crowd there next week promises to be much larger than usual" said a Louisiana man. Mobile and Pen sacola will also be crowded during the carnival season. Many cities in the mid dle south have tried to get up Mardi Gras shows but without much success. The genuine carnival atmosphere was notably lacking. A large Latin popula- tion is one of the prerequisites for Mardi Gras and New Orleans Is the only city that measures up well in this respect
 Cities north of the gulf should have flower shows in May. Birmingham has had several beautiful flower parades, I understand, and something of this kind should become regular annual event"

Thousands of American women, how. ever, have found relief from all monthly suffering by taking Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it is the most thorough female regulator known to medical science. It cures the condition which causes so much discomfort and robs these periods of their terrors.
