the faults of another section; it
should be busy trying to amend
it's own shortcomings. To deal
with the crime Of corruption it is
necessary to have an awakened
public conscience, and to supple
ment this by whatever legisla-
ton will add speed and certainty
in the execution of the law.
When we deal with lynching even
more is necessary. A great ma
ny white men are lynched, but
the crime is peculiarly frequent
in respect to black men. The
greatest existing cause Of lynch
ing is the preparation, especial
ly by black men of the heinous
crime of rape-the most abom-
Unable of all the category of
crimes, even worse than murder.
Mobs frequently avenge the COM
mission of this crime by them
selves torturing to death the man
committing it; thus avenging in
bestial fashion bestial deed,
and reducing themselves to a
level with the criminal.
Moreover, where any crime
committed by a member of one
race against a member Of anoth-
err race is avenged in such fash
ion that it seems as if not the in
dividual criminal, but the whole
race is attacked, the result is to
eXasperata to the highest degree
race feeling. There is but one
safe rule in dealing with black
men as with white men; it is the
same rule that must be applied
in dealing with rich men and
poor men; that is to treat each
man, whatever his color, his
creed, or his,social position, with
even handed justice on his real
worth as man.
White people owe it quite as
much to themselves as to the
colored race 60 treat well the
colored man who shows by his
life that ne deserves such treat
ment; for it is surely the highest
wisdom to encourage in the col
ored race all those individuals
who are honest, industrious, law
abiding, and who therefore make
good and safe neighbors and
citizens. -
Several factors must cooper
ate in the improvement of the
farmers condition. He must
have the chance to be educated
in the widest possible sense-in
the sense which keeps ever in
view the intimate relationship be-
tween the theory of education
and the facts of life. In all ed
ucation we should widen our aims.
It is a good thing to produce a
certain number OF trained schol-
ars and students; but the educa-
ton superintendent by the State
The Adair County news., 1906-12-12

must seek rather to produce
hundred good citizens than mere
ly one scholar, and it must be
turned now and then from the
class book to the study of the
great book of nature itself. This
is especially true Of the farmer,
as has been pointed out again and
again by all observers most COM
petant TO pass practical judgment
on the problems Of our country
life.
ga just war is in the long run
far better for a nations soul than
the most prosperous peace OBJ
tanned by acqoiescence in wrong
or injustice. Moreover, though
it is criminal for a nation not to
prepare for war, so that it may
escape the dreadful consequences
of being defeated in war, yet it
must always be remembered that
even to be defeated in war may
be far better than not to have
fought at all. AS has been well
and finely said, a beaten nation
is not necessarily a disgraced ma
ton; but the nation or man is dis
graced if the obligation to defend
right is shirked.
eve should as a nation do
everything in our power for the
cause Of honorable peace. 1t is
morally as indefensible for ma
ton to commit a wrong upon an
other nation, strong or weak, as
for an individual thus to wrong
his fellows. We should do all
in our power to hasten the day
when there shAl be peace among
the nations-a peace based upon
Justice and not upon cowardly
submission TO wrong.
81 most earnestly hope that

Deceiver Clark.

Mr.. Editor:
I would like 10 say a few words 10 the
people OF Lee County by way Of correc,-
ing some errors or misstatements Mr..
Clark Howell made in his speech al Lees
burg last Friday.
viii appeal to tile reason Of the peo-
pie ard no. 10 the predjudices as Mr.. How
ell did.
FRS; Mr. Howell quoted from his own
paper, the Constitution, paragraph pur
poting to be the lords Of senator Tillman
Of S. c, wherein he said that one third Of
the white voters Of S. {. had been dis
franchised BY the act Of DISTINGUISHING the
negro.
Senator Tiilmau's attention being cal
lea to the paragraph printed IN the Con
stitution he gave The Associated Press
This denial, "IF Any WHITE NAN
HAS BEEN DISFRANCHIsED IN 5. Z
II WAS BECAUSE HE TOO LAZY 10
WALK UP AND REGISTER.
This denial was sent to 10 The Atlanta
papers, but the Contribution would not
publish it. Clark Howell knew when he
miss quoted senator Tillman, that Ben
Tillman had never uttered any such words.
IS that fair, IS it just, is ii right voters Of
Lee7 lie must have taken Us for a LOT Of
ignormouses.
AGAIN Mr.. Howell said there mere more
educated negroes in Lee county than
white people, that The negroes would sac
ri6ce more to give their children an edu-
cation imam the white people. ,.et ME
bsg q VOW my friends TO Jhink upon these
words te& moments. DO you catch the

Every smoker has experienced this
peculiar condition of the stomach and
liver, the result usually of imper-
feet digestion of food. And the
blame is usually put on the cigar and
not where 1t belongs.
Such men are usually high livers,
hard workers mentally, living under
high pressure and high draught, and
1t doesn't take a great deal to dis
order the stomach and render the
liver torpid.
They should make II a practice to
use some tried and reliable remedy
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, that
will aid Nature and not force 1t and
will take care of the suddent attacks
of acute indigestion.
The use of these tablets is not to
be confunded with the patent med
icine habit. Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tab
lets are not patent medicine, but
are composed OF the very elements
which Nature provides the healthy
stomach to do the work Of digestion
--pepsin, diaestase, golden seal, etc.
There is no secret in their prepara-
tion;-they are absolutely pure and
therefore all the world uses them.
No matter how disordered the
stomach may be, 1t will right itself
II given the chance. Stuart's Dyspsp-
sla Tablets digest food where the
stomach can't, give the abused sto-
mach and intestines a rest and offer
renewed strength to the worn out
glands and muscles.
Brain workers can rely on Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. no matter how
tense the strain. All druggists carry
