INDICATING THE ACTION Of THE
SOUTH IN RECENT STROTHER CASE,

The New York American. one OF
he w. r. Hearst papers. in defend
ing the ''Unwrltten Law" OF the
South. says:
ON the South a man shamefully be-
tayed a young girl. and her broth
ers-known to newspaper readers as
the Strother brothers Of Culpepper.
Virginia"-compelled the man to
marry their sister
The nature OF the cowardly dog
impelled the man to abandon the girl
after he had married her He married
her TO save his skin. Then he planned
to run away and leave her TO dis
grace.
The Strother brothers. however.
made different arrangements. and
the man who injured their sister has
ended HIS crimes and also his run
ming away.
A Southern jury acquitted the
Strother brothers. declaring that
they were under provocation that
might make cool reflection difficult.
4 The Southern judge remarked to the
q jury that, on the whole. he was
rather glad that they were free, and
that the gentleman I'm the graveyard
would not disturb any other mans
jsister
Shootings, lynchings, all violence
are regrettable-ex extremely so II
4 would have been more satisfactory II
the. Strother brothers could have re-
81 ceived adequate satisfaction from a
y jury without wasting good powder
Land shot on a poor specimen
But we can not accept the views
circulated by MIR. Willard OF the New
ID York Evening Post. In New York,
v OF course. those views are not weigh
4 ty. But in the South they might be
looked upon as representing North
4 Hrn opinion.
Mr.. Willard says, in his Evening
Post editorial. that the Southern
judge and jury disgraced themselves
He calls the act OF the Strother
brothers 'inexcusable murder" He
can see no good reason why a broth.
er should resent such treatment oi
sister. and he adds: 80 long az
the Southern press sympathizes with
lawbreakers and judges whose spirit
is that OF a lyncher, 1t is idle to ex-
pect that there will be genuine re-
spect for law"
We ask Southern editors and
judges, before they take Willard az
an expression OF Northern opinion
TO look up the case OF Wizards Sis
ter against Willard" They will readi-
ly see that Mr.. Willard, sued by his
! own sister and accused OF taking
from her money left to her by their
father. is not exactly the man to in
Nward a sister
1 terpret the average mans feelings
toward a sister.
We know nothing OF the Willard
case-except the charges that the sis
1 ter made and the defense which vii.
lard's friends offer for him-a pretty
sickly defense.
But we do know that Southern edi-
tors. judges and Juries have nc
right to take Willard as expressing
Northern opinion where sisters are
concerned. On other matters. such
as the propriety OF changing your
real name for another, etc. he may
be an authority.
But he is prejudiced when he
makes bimself the heroic distant de.
fender OF the man that made a mis-
take when he treated the sister oil
the Strother brothers lightly.
We deplore violence. as aforesaid
But on the whole, We congratulate
the South upon the fact that It's view
OF a mans proper attitude toward
sister differs from that OF tn,

Since came here week ago
have missed your paper very much
] guess YOU may as well change me

now here to stay awhile and will
bring my family here as soon as my
residence is completed
While writing | may as we'll add a
few words about this beautiful com
ing city on the banks OF Guyan.

timation. will rival the highly treas
ured and dearly beloved williamson.
II is not denied by any one here
that the city is a few years behind
time, but she is now in the hands OF
the alert Democratic party and we
will, 1t is to be hoped, be walking on
paved streets and enjoying other
decided improvements by the falling
of snow next fall
Logan people are very boastful OF
their fine water and they have a per
feet right to. for It is certainly fine
and plenty Of It. but I don't mean
TO say she will surpass Williamson
in the water If the good citizens will
only elect the entire Democratic tick
.et on April 4th (and that is almost
.assuredD to complete the good work
they have under way.
/ find the people Of Logan to be
the most kind and hospitabIe I ever
met, with the possible exception OF
Williamson.
We have some very fine buildings
now being constructed. Namely, the
Logan National Bank, the new court
house (Which is almost completed
and several fine residence buildings
There will be an enormous amount
of building done here this coming
summer, If It is possible to get men
to do the work. Carpenters are now
in great demand there not being
enough here to supply the needs.
One thing Logan surpasses Will
Hanson in. IS that she has more So
Der men all the time than william
son. The county is dry" and from
all indications Will remain so for
time and eternity. at least such Is to
be hoped. Sometimes some Of the
boys sends for n jug by express. but
our worthy Judge wilkinson sees to
it that 1t isn't collected for. as he
will have no G. o. D. business going
on here. I am not writing TO criti-
else the "wets" Of Logan. but will
say that during the week have
spent here my eyes have not fallen
on anyone intoxicated. Neither have
n seen any mother or wife searching
La saloon for her son or husband.
We have n great many Of the Min
go boys here, among them IS o. C.

the vulcan Mine. at Vulcan: Charley
Stafford formerly with the Lick
Fork Mine at Thacker. both being
prominently connected in coal busl.

Logan has two newspapers, the

eressive.
Hoping to see the Leader in the

EDITORIAL ITEMS.

WHEN the United States govern mcnt attempts to sift out "wild. eat" mining enterprises,and distin- guish them from those of real mer- it. it will embark in very uncer- tain and damaging policy. Very few mining properties show pay ore right at the grass roots, and some of the best ever known had to sink hundreds of feet upon ''in- dications" before they struck "pay rock" Any mine which is not in pay ore may be truthfully denom- mated "wildcat." And many a wildcat" mine has been tanned and made a dividend payer by those who had faith, kept to work, imparted their faith to others, who put into the enterprise their good money, until rich ore bodies were developed, and great success as- sured. Some of the greatest mines at Bisbee went down to thousand feet before they got pound of ore; aud there were croakers in plenty who predicted that they would never get ore. But the promoters saw below that thousand feet with the eye of faith, and they induced men to buy, at three dollars per share, stock which sells now at SlS6. Yet they were wildcat" mines.
