pose thoroughly, as shown In the Illus
tration In connection with the ordi-
nary derby hat. Between the brim and
crown of the hat, encircling the latter
entirely, is a band (about the size OF a
regulation hat band) composed OF mar
row openings extending from top to
bottom. The band Is made or nara
rubber or celluloid, to give the neces-
sary stiffness or elasticity. 1t would
undoubtedly afford much comfort to the
wearer. 1t would be impossible TO
make similar Sits in the felt or the

farmer brought it forward, and the
barrel was bent as Spaugh had
said, whether it was bent over the
sheriff's head or not.
The Spaugh's did not pretend to
deny the killing at first-and
jointly, too. But after a visit from
their lawyers they began toNtalk
different.
That the sheriff went to the
Spaugh home considerably out of
town, is a mistake. All the testi-
mony shows that the house is not
over seventy-ive yards from
Rasche's restaurant, where the
assault on Edgar was made, and
within the city limits.
"Mrs. Spaugh tried after Arthur
and gets ten years in the peni-
tentiary." This is mistake. Mrs.
Spaugh was tried jointly with Bill
Spaugh, and for murder in the
first deegree, as was Bill. She was
given a lighter sentence because
Judge Williams refused to give
the jury instructions for murder in
the first degree in her case. lam
told that six of the jury wanted to
give in a first degree verdict for
her anyway. She was acquitted
in her second trial because Judge
Williams gave nothing but first
degree instructions. Arthur had
already been sentenced to the
penitentiary.
There was some bowling about
Arnett testifying in Mrs. Spaugh's 8
trial that Bill Spaugh shot at him,
and not testifying this when Bill
was tried. Arnett did testify this
when Bill was tried, but Judge
Williams had it cut out of the
record.
I will not pursue this subject any
further. John Polk was only a
poor sheriff, sworn to discharge
his duty. The Supreme Court
says it was his right and duty to
be there and make the arrest. But
Notwithstanding, there seems to be
no protection for him, for his wife,
made a widow, and four children,
Who must 60 through life without
a fathers love and guidance.
If one of those men or women
who have been working SO hard
to save Spaugh had been ASSAULT
ed, as was VIM. Edgar, and the
sheriff had not gone to take charge
of the offender, they would have
been bowling like a wolf in the
wild woods calling his mates to
GUST sheepfold. But in this case
they howl that the offender of the
law has been willfully and unfairly
prosecuted. | could write much
more on this subject, but there is
no use. G. X. POLK.

could learn, was about six bits in
money and eighteen poor little
orphan kids.
In order that we may not be
misunderstood, let US say that Mr..
Long holds his Office as president
of the orphans home at Arcadia
under a charter granted by the
State, and as puhs;e ifaa;Ridual
he subjects himselfa'so public crit
icism when he conducts his BUSH
ness affairs as he did in Piedmont.
Under the existing order of
things the State has no place for
orphans except in the poorhouse.
Thus it happens thRt any private
person of presumably good char
acter can get a charter and start
an orphanage. This business can
be made remunerative if only
children of working age are taken
into the home.
Organized society acts toward
it's little human waits exactly as
wild animal do toward the young
of other animals whose mothers
have been killed. Society regards
the orphans as pests and is glad
when even wolves come along and
suckle the little unfortunates-
anything to get rid of them. Pri-
vate orphans homes are the result
of this policy.
We do not like the private or
phans' homes. BY this we do not
mean to criticize Mr.. Longs in
stitution alone, but all of the same
kind wherever found. The State
should directly care for orphans
that cannot be found places in re-
ligious or fraternal orphanges.
The duty should never be dele
gated to private persons who too
often are apt to have selfish in
terests in view.
| We hope the Long orphanage at
Arcadia is run for the glory of
God and for the good of the chill
dren therein; but we would prefer
to see those children the wards of
the State rather than of private
association which does not even
claim to act under authority from
any recognized religious or fra
ternal organization.
All of which reflections kinder
have the effect of drying our tears
over Mr.. Longs decision not to
move here. We feel sure that if
he should come we would feel it
our duty to keep the public posted
as to how long and how hard he
worked the children at gardening
or making flavoring extracts, how
much of their time was devoted to
study and moral training, and how
they were fed and treated by the
officers of the home.
These things would doubtless
cause Mr.. Long to think that we
were meddling with something
that did not concern us, and there
fore we are resigned to his not
coming. Meantime let us indulge
the hope that Mr.. Long has "took
his pen in hand" and written a
special delivery letter to all his
friends in Piedmont who received
checks from him. m.--Piedmont Ban

From the above we Judge that
Mr.. Long is offended at the Be nner.
The letter indicates another thing
to us too: that is that we have dis
couraged Mr.. Long from coming
here. Woe is us, if this be true.
We shall forthwith HE away to
the sequestration of the chimney
corner, back Of the house, there to
sprinkle ashes on our head and
bewail the fate which our iniudic-
iousness has brought on the town
of Piedmont.
Great will be the grief among
our readers, when they learn that
the canning factory and orphans
home is not coming here. From
Clark's Mountain to Carter's Bay,
from Peachtree Fork to Pucky-
huddle, from Dan to Bersheba,
from hell to breafast, wall of dis
appointment will go up. There
will be sound Of lamentation in
the wilderness, Rachael crying for
that orphans home and refusing
to be comforted because tits not.
Specifically, the thing which
caused US to write to Mr.. Long
telling him what we intended to
do in this issue of the Bonner, was
his loose manner Of transacting
business. He and his wife stopped
at the best hotel in town while
here, which looked bad for people
engaged in getting money for an
orphans home. Then when it
came time to pay various bills in
town he did so by drawing checks
on banks in which he had no
money, in some cases making the
checks for more than his bills
amounted to and receiving cash
change in the deal. He bought d
farm near here on time, and sold
the timber on it for money enough
to make the first payment and S25
over, which last mentioned amount
we presume he turned over to the
orphans.
He spoke In large, suave man
ner about moving his orphans
home from Arcadia here, and also
starting canning factory In Pied
