GIGANTIC RED MEN.

skeletons Fouud In Maryland Are
Proof OF Colonial Stories.
Captain John Smith. the famous
traveller and founder of Virginia, after
his voyage OF exploration In the Ches
apeake Bay. In 1905, told about having
seen on that memorable trip a tribe OF
Indians gigantic In stature. many OF
It's members being about eight feet
tall. Having led a highly romantic
life. Captain John has been considered
excusable for INDUCING In such a Wild
tale of eight foot Indians, but the story
was never taken seriously. Recent de
velopments tend TO prove, however.
that this late lamented member OF the
Smith family was neither lying nor
Jet rum. fuddled when he told Of see
4 z those red-skinned giants years ago
In the wilds OF what IL now the pros.
perous State Of Maryland.
Along the banks OF the Choptank
River In that delightful commonwealth
there were recently exhumed by EN-.
pioyes Of the Maryland Academy Of
Science skeletons OF prehistoric indi-
ans who were undoubtedly OF great
height. The remains are now being
articulated and restored. and Will be
placed on exhibition this fall.
The collection comprises eight skele.
tons. OF which some are women and
children. They are not all complete.
but all the larger bones have been
found and there II at least one com.
piete specimen OF an adult man. The
excavations were In progress for
months. and the discovery II consid-
cred one Of the most important from
the standpoint OF anthropology In Ma.
' land In a number Of years. The
,mains are believed 10 be at least
1000 years old. The formation OF the
ground above and the location OF the
graves give every evidence Of this.
During the excavations the remains
OF the camps OF later Indians were re-
vealed. These consisted 81 oyster shell
heaps, charred and burned earth and
fragments OF cooking utensils. These
discoveries were made fully 10 feet
above the graves which contained the
gigantic skeletons.
There have been other discoveries In
Maryland OF remains OF men OF ire
| mendous stature. A SHELTON was dis
covered AZ Ocean City several years
ago which measured a fraction over
seven feet six inches. This skeleton
was inferred in regular burying
| mound. and beads manufactured by
white men were found upon II. The
dead Indian was robably one Of the
tribes mentioned by Captain John
Smith. who In July. ZOOS. made q voy.
age Of exploration OF the Chesapeake
Bay.
At the point on the Choptank where
the remains were found there are steep
shelving cliffs OF sand and gravel that
extend To the waters edge. Beneath
the bank IL a layer Of mari. The
| graves are In the sand q few feet
above the hard mari. and have depos.
Its OF between 20 and 30 feet OF sand
and gravel above them. A peculiar
feature OF the discovery IL the charred
state Of the bones OF the women and
children. Those OF the men are nm.
touched by Are. This seems 10 indi.
cate that the ancient Indians cremated
the bodies Of all except their warriors.
The wet resting place Of the bones for
90 many centuries has made them very
soft and fragile. , nd Il was with the
greatest difficulty that they were re-
moved

which does not possess the confi- dence of it's readers in the accur- acy of it's statements and the fair ness of it's comments.
 For these reasons Jefferson be- lieved in the freedom of the press and deemed 1t an indispensable power for good. That the news paper press of the United States in these latter days comes up to Jetferson's ideal cannot we'll be de- nied. It is on the whole honest and truthful-if for no other reas- on than that dishonesty and un- truth don't pay.

BRAIN LEAKS.

(From Bryan's Commoner:1
 Parental example is better than parental precept.
 The best proof of the pudding is the druggists bill.
 A man without enemies is drift ing before the wind.
 The jingle of hard earned dol lars Is always sweet music.
 You can never earn an increase in wages by watching the clock.
 A man is stingy when he spends money only on pleasure for him self.
 The man who is easily pumped seldom contains anything worth having.
 If the world owes you living 1t IS up to you to hustle out and collect the bill.
 The men most ready to risk fail ure are usually the ones who achieve success first.

DECISIONS OF SUPREME COURT
Myers Case ffirmed-=-Motion for New Hearing in the Enos
 TomIinson' Case.

It is announced from Little Rock that no more sessions of the supreme court will be held on Sat urdays and that all the business of the court, including the handing down of opinions or the submiss- ion of cases and oral argument; in fact all the business of the court, will be transacted on Mondays. Chief Justice Hill has stated that the holding of session on Saturday, when opinions only were delivered, interfered with the consideration of cases, and by deyoting this time to the consider ation of cases the court could do a much larger amount of business than heretofore.
 It was also stated that the say ing of one day week in this way would in the course of seven years be the saving of a whole year in time, and that the court could do a vast amount of business in that 1 period.
 MYERS CASE AFFIRMED
 The case of the state against l Vernon Myers, convicted in the Lawrence circuit court and sen tenced to two years in the peniten- tiary on the charge of -sIaugh ter, was affirmed by the supreme court last Saturday. The case IS of interest because of the promi- hence of young Myers and on ac. unt of his age. He was 17 years 1 old when the act was committed. He Is son of Dr. ] H. Myers, former representative from Law renee county, and k we'll known in Newark. An effort Is being made to secure pardon for Myers.

JEFFERSON AND THE NEWSPAPERS
Opinions of the Founder of the Democratic Party on the
 Usefulness of the Press

nRHb tDI SOul Ol IlOiido Dth0A9Ou to know that the newspaper press has become one of the most potent factors in the government of the United States.
 The founder of the Democratic party had such faith in the hon. esty and good sense of the great body of the great body of the American people that he was sure the government could not long go wrong while they were fully in- formed of the doings of their ser wants in public office, Where the press is free and every man is able to read, all is safe, /" Is an aphorism in which he summed up the whole of his philosophy with respect to publicity.
 That the people should know all the time what their legislative and executive officers are doing, and why, was cardinal tenet of lief ferson's political faith His pre- ventative for the violent outbreaks which have shaken or oyerthrown European governments was to give the people full information of their affairs through the chan mel of the public papers and to contriye that those papers should penetrate the whole mass of the people.
 Therefore, ], fferson says in a letter to Edward Darlington: Were it left to me to decide whether we should have govern ment without newspapers, or news papers without government, l should not hesitate moment to prefer the latter. , And he would have the public school go along with the newspapers, for he adds: But 1 should mean that every snan receive those newspapers and be capable of reading them.
 Discussing the subject editorial fy the St. Louis Republic says that public men who smart under de- served criticism might read with advantage few words in which Jefferson declared himself for freedom of the press and against al oppressive measures Ito silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents. " This expression was called forth by the sedition law of John Adams ad- ministration, which imposed se- we're penalties of fine and impris onment for alleged harsh criticism ef legislative, executive or judi cial officers, written CT spoken.
 Seven years previously Jeffer son had written at Monticello that
 No government ought to be with out censors; and when the press is not free no one ever will be. If girtuous, it need not fear the fair operation of attack and defense. Nature has given to man no other means of sitting the truth either in religion. law or politics.
 Jefferson knew very we'll that the press, being a human institu- ton, could never be perfect. That At could be scurrilous at times, and st others unreliable, he knew from the attacks upon himself, printed ,n Fenno's Gazette and other sheets. And still he held that 1t would be better to get along with out government than without newspapers to let the people know what their government is doing.
 He knew, what every exper fenced newspaper man to- day knows, that such evils are cured

Each seasons beauty seems pre.enlin-

tenderness of one or the majesty of an.
other time Of year. Autumn perhaps

Like dusk. its charm is thoughtful and
reserved. 1t is the twilight Of the year,
following summer like sunset after an
unbroken day of blue. It is the time Of
wind and solitude, pitched in red aud

and regret. Each living thing means
more because II IL alone.

To fit among the treiiised vines.

There is glory in the time, not less glor-

Lamine Baptist Association.

The REPUBLICAN job rooms have
been busy this week getting out a
pamphlet of thirty pages and cover,
containing the complete minutes, the
reports, statistics, ETC., Of the 35th
annual meeting of the Lamine Baptist
Association, held with the Mt. Nebo
Baptist Church, in Cooper county,
October 3, 4 and 5, 1905.
The pamphlet was compiled and
the printing is being supervised by
Rev. l.. X. Kenney, of Glensted, the
present clerk of the Association, and
there is information and data enumer-
ated which will be of interest to the
church membership generally, as the
reports and statistics show that the
religious work is progressing and the
membership is increasing.
The report shows 26 churches in
the Association, three of which did
not report, while three new churches
were added. The % churches repre-
sented show 1867 members for last
year, the present year being 2215, an
increase of 1858, not including those
which failed to report. This is a
good showing for this one Associa-
ton. Judge Samuel Daniels, of this
city, was reelected Moderator for the
ensuing year, and Rev. G. N. White,
|of Smithton, Assistant Moderator.
The next annual meeting will be held
in Versailles, the first week in Octo-
Der, 1907.
