In former times when anything was
desired to be extracted from a wit
ness. the latter was racked or pinch
ed with hot irons. but even the re-
fined cruelty of those dark ages drew
the line. Their lawyers never asked
hypothetical questions.

The Central American War.

Washington.-Deve in the
war in Central America. with the In
dications that at least four of the re-
publics may become involved, have
led the state and navy department Of
ficials to consider the expediency OF
increasing the American force in those
waters. 1t is probable that within
a few days several ships will be or
dered to reinforce the Marietta snd
Chicago.

Navy a Business Proposition.

The navy to-day is strictly a bust
ness proposition-in fact. it might be
termed scientific, and ! venture to
say there are more good mathemati-
clans among the men than can be
found among any similar lot of men
gathered from all sections of the coun-
try, as these boys are. A few figures
in reference to target practice might
be of interest in this connection, says
Admiral Robley d. Evans in National
Magazine. showing how economical
all this perfection is. and how much
better it Is to maintain this regular
practice. AS one old tar remarked:
''Blowed II grain of powder in prac-
tice does not save a ton in service;
for when 1t comes to straight shoot
Ing, the men put every grain where 1t
counts" Thus the ravages and waste
of war are lessened in the actual out
lay, If target practice is regularly
held. The building Of the Panama
canal means an impetus to the trad
ing interests of this country, and If
the people could take the power Of the
floats on the masthead of modern
cruiser or battleship, they would un-
derstand that the navy is business
proposition, aside from the spirit Of
national pride and patriotism and the
necessity for preparedness"

There must have been consid
cradle stfiibustering'' at the Noel
Brewer joint debate in Jackson
Saturday night. According to
the published accounts, MIR. Noel
spoke 40 minutes, then Brewer
claimed the attentiono of the aud
fence for one hour; but when
Mr.. Noel arosesfor rejoinder the
hoodlum element became go hois
ferrous that the speaker had to
give up in disgust. Each side
blaims, the other for the fiasco,
but as Mr.. Noel was to speak at
the time, in our opinion the onus
for the trouble rests with the
supporters of Brewer.

Newspaper Rulings.
eoME INTERESTING DECISIONS Az UNITED
TATEs SUPREME COURT AZ TO THE
LIABILITY OF SUBSCRIBERS.

1. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue ia send same until
all arrearages are paid.
2. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the p~ostofice to
which they are addressed, they are re-
sponsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered the paper Ter other
periodically discontinued.
3 If subscribers move to other
PAGES without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
4 The Court has decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals. from the
postofice, or removing and having
them uncalled for, is prima facie evi-
dence of intentional fraud.
s.. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until an cypress notice, with pay
ment of all arrearages, is sent to the
publisher.
6 The latest postal laws are such
that a newspaper man can arrest any
one for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under the law,
the man who allows his subscription to
run along Tor some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused and
has a postal card sent notifying the
publisher Of such fact, renders himself
liable to prosecution, arrest and fine,
the same as for theft.

gentleman, who stood at all times
for the. moral interest of TIL e
country; and while we reverent-
ly bow to the will OF Him who
doeth all things well (even tho
to mortal men it may seem an
atfliction), we feel that his death
is a distinct loss to this Lodge OF

where eternal bliss is the reward
OF the faithful here.
Be it further resolved, That
we tender the family OF our de-
deceased brother our. sin c ere.

bereavement, trusting that the
Loving Father, who tempereth
the wind to the shorn lamb, will
temper their great a~ffilction with
blessings both temporal and spir
ituai.
Be it further resolved, That a
copy Of these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes OF this
