limited at, but they are there only to
emphasize by contrast the sanity and
decency of the dominant characters

DEDICATION OF NEW FLAG.
Anniversary Of Division
No. q, A. o. n.

Tuesday last being the nineteenth
anniversary of the organization Of Di-
vision No. 4. A. o. H., as we'll as tho
birthday OF Abraham Lincoln, the
event was 1ittingly observed at the
hall on Tenth avenue north, where a.
large audience gathered and greatly
enjoyed a. splendid program. The new
green flag of Ireland is the finest i'll
the state, and No. 4 is proud of the
fact. President ]. r. Rice introduced
the various numbers as follows: Ad-
dress, James McConville, responded to
by President Rice; songs, John Gehan,
Jr. st. Paul; address, Lincoln and En1
met, NJ. J. Brahney; recitations, Mrs.
M. j. Kelly; address, National Vice
President J. j. Regain; songs, Miss
Gleason; recitation, "Erins Flag Je-
rome Rice; address, State President

dent T. j. Doyle Of the insurance fund;
recitation, S. r. Shannon; addresses,
State Secretary Thos. Connolly, Insur-
ance Secretary John Mahoney and
County President J. J. Fitzgerald. 1t
was an enthusiastic meeting and each
and every one on the program added
to tho enjoyment Of the evenings ex-
ercises. 1t is evident that No. has
it's weather eye on the pennant, and
State President Kenny, as well as all
others in close touch with the situa-
tion, are no doubt being impressed
with the belief that there is an even
chance for that 500 membership in that
Organization by May, 1907. The North
Minneapolis division is certainly a
hustler, and judging it's future by its
past there seems to be no possibility
but what it can meet and crown with
success when it sets out ito do things"

time by his actions immediately fol-
lowing the shooting, they believed he
was sane at the time. There was
nothing to do then but to find the de-
gree Of murder, and they decided upon
the second degree because in their
opinion he had not dsliberated the
murder, but that it was rather an i'm
pulse of the moment, intentional, but
not premeditated.

de Is, as follows:

March was a record-breaker in both exports and imports, but "the saving fact" says the Springfield Republican, 'in the country's export trade at pres ent Is cotton. The great crop grown in the United States last year contin- ues to move out of the country in un- exampled volume. All other staple exports during March show a decrease as compared with year ago, but cot ton exports were $16,529,S00 larger, which sufflced to overcome the loss in other lines of staple shipments and leave a net gain of over $12,700,000. But for cotton we should now probably be running behind in payment of cur rent foreign obligations in merchan- disc and might be shipping some gold. The great cotton crop of last year was thus another stroke of American luck, operating to continue the foreign ex- changes in our favor during time when general tendencies have been working to establish opposite condi- tions."
 So long as we grow great crops of cotton, wheat and corn Wall-street bears cannot create a reaction in gen. eral trade, no matter how much they may desire one in their business They may desire to gather in this or that stock at low prices, but the reactions they create among themselves will not extend to the rest of the country while crops continue to be abundant

Civil Preliminary Trials.

"A few weeks ago l was summoned as a juror in one of our courts" said a bus mess man, "and heard lawyer state case to the jury. It was a damage suit for large amount of money for per sonal injuries. which the plaintiff said he received on account of the negligence of the defendant. According to the lawyers statement to the Jury the occurrence hap pened in 1904, about three years ago.
 Now, it appears to me that something should be done in cases of this nature to relieve both parties to the suit. Either there Is or there Is not merit in the case, and that l presume is the first consider ton. If preliminary trial were held be- fore a judge who would act somewhat in the nature of coroner, only without jury. and he were just to make an in- vestigation of the case and say whether there was any apparent cause of action, 1t would prevent lot of these big law suits in which plaintiffs claim ten or thousands of dollars damages and eventu- ally get nothing at all, or only few hundreds.
 No doubt it sounds fine, to claim big sum or money us uduldSeS, yet SNSlyohc knows that such claims are not made in real earnest. If the amounts claimed were to be awarded some of the big gest corporations would go out of business in year. But a person who has been in- jured through the negligence of another is entitled to adequate compensation for his injuries, the only questions being has he been injured and to what extent
 Many of these big damage suits could be settled speedily and without much cost by arbitration. It is not to be sup posed that any man purposely puts him self in the way of being injured, neither Is it to be supposed that one person pur- posely injuries another. If the contrary of this is shown jury would soon set tie the question, but in ordinary cases a preliminary investigation into the facts would let the parties know where they stand and compromise would be almost sure to follow"

News of Greensboro.

Greensboro, April 1S.-(Special.) )-Ar- arrangements are being made whereby the Greensboro volunteer fire company will be greatly improved. The reels will be kept at one of the livery stables and when the alarm of fire is sounded horses will be used to pull them to the scene of the fire. Heretofore the men them selves have dragged the reels to tn fire arriving greatly exhausted with scarce ly strength enough to fight the fire. It has been suggested that series of alarms be devised so that the company can tell at once the locality of any fire.
 Yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the home of the bride, occurred the wedding of Miss Bessie Lavender and Mir Lemuel Thomas Lavender of Birmingham. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Henry Trawicl in the presence of few friends and relatives. Miss Lavender Is the oldest daughter of Mir. and Mrs. William Lavender and has many friends in Greensboro who regret her departure.
 The Episcopal council will convene in Greensboro May 15, in St. Paul's church. Owing to the death of Dr. Bannster it was deemed best not to meet at Hunts vile, the place selected at the last meet ing of the council. When Greensboro re- newed her invitation it was accepted and Bishop Beckwth has notified Dr. Cobbs that the meeting will be held In Greens boro.
 An agent sent to Greensboro by the Southern railroad has settled all of the cotton claims arising from the burning of Blunt x Wards warehouse last fall Eleven cents was the price paid for the cotton burned.
 Editor Benners of the Greensboro Bea- con is offering to lease his paper for sev- eral months. for almost nominal terms His duties in the legislature call him to Montgomery for the summer.

BILL RRITToN ON STAND.
Prisoner Swears He Didn't Kill James
 Cockrill.

Lexington, April 1S.-The prosecu- ton, after examining three witnesses in the case of Bill Britton, charged with assassination of James Cocllrill today rested The defense will begin this afternoon, and it is understood that Judge James Hargis will be one of the first witnesses examined. Curt Jett and Tom White, who are already serving life sentences for this murder, will testify, as also will Britton. Nose Feltner, Riley Goldiron and other wit nesses were not examined, and the announcement that the prosecution rested caused sensation.
 Bill brltton went on the stand in his own behalf this afternoon. He swore he was friendly with Coclxrill. and de- nied he was connected with the Cock Till assassination. He said that at the time of the murder he was in the court house, and walked behind Curtis Jett, who told him that he did not know where the shooting was. He. asked Jett if he shot Cockrill, and the latter answered that he did not.

Crime in America

Individual disarmament is much more important matter in this country than national disarmament Instead of looking to The Hague we should look to Montgomery for proper stat utes, and then to public sentiment for their enforcement, for a law with no public sentiment behind it is farcical.
 Pistol toting and chaotic and ineffi- cient systems of criminal law render this country the least safe of civilized nations. In this country there are 129 homicides a year to each million of inhabitants, as against three homicides a million inhabitants in Germany, and five in Canada. In 1906 there were 10,662 murders in this country, while in England there were SIS; in France, SAT; in Germany. 5e7. and in Austria, 689.
 Germany has 6o,OOO,Ooo, and this country S0,000,000, and yet there were last year 10,662 homicides in the United States and 567 in Germany The figures for France and England are not dissimilar. In these oldworld countries a person would be vastly safer against being stabbed or shot to death than he would be in this coun- try. His chances of dying in bed in peace are perhaps ten times better in any one of them than they are in the United States.
 The toting of the tools for murder in this country leads to vast number of murders, and the lack of efficient systems of criminal law under which

Immiurants as Share Partners

Leroy Percy of Greenville, Miss, is confident a revival of the old-time share-crop system is the best means that can be adopted to induce immi- grants to settle on southern farms. It is reported that Secretary Straus holds that share partnerships formed in European countries would not trans gress the immigration law If this be so, bureaus of the different states would have to explain to prospective immigrants the scope and meaning of share partnership.
 The negro did not and does not pros- per under that system, simply because he lacks thrift and frugality and at times industry. He would not prosper under any system that calls for indi- vidual responsibility.
 But there Is no reason why white men seeking new homes would not piOSptI uluST d 5ybtSuu ludI ohci D them from the outset, says the Mem phis Commercial-Appeal, "a house to live in, land to work, implements and team to work 1t with, food to eat, clothes to wear and every other essen- tial of frugal farm life. For his part he is called on for honest labor, that's all, and upon the sale of the crop he shares the proceeds with the planter, of course paying for his personal ex- penses contracted during the year, but not for land, nor for use of house, inn plements and team"
 Possibly some landowners would not care to have numerous partners whom they do not know we'll The partner ship idea Is not at all essential, for the andlord-and-tenant plan is equally feasible, and 1t would no doubt be equally acceptable to the department of commerce and labor A landowner surely has a right to rent his lands to men in Europe, and those men would. have a right to come here and occupy those lands. Either plan fully ex- plained to expectant immigrants in the home country would solve the immi- grafton problem.

Trans for the UnWary

"The interests" here and there in northern cities are inspiring first one newspaper and then another to suggest that the time has come for the nomina- ton of a southern man for President. For example, the New York Times says:
 "There is a tradition. long respected, out of which the vitality has completely gone. We mean the tradition that can didates for the presidency must be chosen from the northern states. The events from which that tradition took its rise are now viewed with the calmness that comes of the historical perspective. The tradition is without substance; there is no justification for its continued observ- ance. If the democratic party is wise, if 1t is disposed to turn its face to the future, it will look to the south for It's candidate in 19oS.''
 The Cincinnati Enquirer and the Philadelphia Record are ready to sec and the motion, and doubtless there are UT WILL Dt CtuSl tO uO ilhS- wise.
 And yet all this stuff coming from northern money centers simply means that northern democrats do not want William Jennings Bryan nominated. These northern demands for a south. ern nominee at this particular period are indirect assaults upon MT. Bryan from those who do not care to come out into the open. They prefer to fight the Nebraskan from behind a southern barricade. It is best to under stand things as they are, not as they appear on the face to be. The south cannot be honeytongued in an indirect manner into a trap set by the north. When a southern man is nominated for President he will be elected, but when that time will come it is not easy to foretell.

TIED, HE SEES WIFE
 AND GIRL ATTACKED

Bristol, Tenn, April 1S.-At Kingsport, Sullivan county, in the presence of her husband and 14-year-oId daughter, Mrs Frank Belcher was assaulted at an early hour this morning by two masked white men. With drawn weapons the men en- tered the Belcher home and compelled Beleher to get out of bed and be tied. One man then assaulted Mrs. Belcher while the other made an attempt on the girl. The latter went into convul- slons from terror and was abandoned by the assailant who turned his attention to the older woman just released by her first captor.
 Belcher's frantic efforts to get at the men were stopped by blow on the head which rendered him unconscious, and Mrs Belcher was badly beaten and choked. Her condition is critical that of the girl being also serious. The men, after making threats, left, and the crime was not discovered until daylight. Citi- zens are wildly excited over the outrage and there is open talk of lynching the guilty ones if they can be caught.
 Mrs. Belcher says she could identify the men. Posses are securing the country and several suspects have been taken into custody, but in each instance have established their innocence.
