MOTHER ATTACKED;
INFANT MURDERED
Black Brute Demanded Monev
From Lady Which
SHE REFUSED TO GIVE HIM
After Refusal of Money, Woman's
Life Was Threatened and Black De-
mon Almost Severed Head of Babe.
500 Men Are In Pursuit OF Brute.

CdrCerSVlIlG, ia. MARCH ~. n
negro brute appeared at the home OF
Mrs. James Tolbert, the wife OF a
former mayor of Fairmont, Ga. ),
which is about 20 miles from this
city, and demanded that she give him
$50. The negro was refused and
then told the frightened woman that
he would have that amount or her
life.
Terribly frightened, she tried to go
into an adjoining room, where her
2-months-old baby was sleeping. The
brute seized her in an effort to de-
tain her, and tore off a portion OF
her clothing.
The distracted mother then fled
from the house, and gave the alarm.
The Tolbert house is only a short
distance from the business center of
the town, and in little while a
crowd had collected, and proceeded
to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Toll
bert, where they found that the brute
had almost severed the head Of the
sleeping infant with a knife.
Mr. Tolbert was at his business
house at the time. The Tolberts
are among the leading people of this
place.
The whole country is being secured
in an effort to apprehend the assail
ant, who is described as being a null
latto, with burnsides, weighing about
100 pounds, and about feet 10 inches
tall, wearing blue overalls.
1t is thought he was the negro
Johnson, who was released from the
changing at Sugar Hill Saturday last,
as he fills the description.
The negro has probably bS2n To-
Gated a few miles north of here, COM
ing in the direction of Gainesville.
He is being pursued by 500 deter
mined men, who are close upon his
heels with a pack of bloodhounds.
His tracks are plainly seen in the
fresh ground, and there seems no
doubt now of his capture.
A large number of people from this
place have left to meet the party and
to cut off the negro from possible es-
cape.
Four negroes have been captured,
suspected of the assault on Mrs. Jas.
Tolbert, at Paramount.
Two negroes were captured over the
state line in Tennessee. Another at
Marietta, Ca, and still another at
Etowah, so miles from Paramount.
They will be held for Identification.
1t may be that the assailant is an
ex-convict.
The Barlow county convict over
seer says he released a negro from
the gang some time ago that fills the
description.

The NEW York Herald" has been publishing letters n the
speeding of automobiles. As might be expected the contribu-
tons are more amusing than instructive. Several of the letter
writers have taken the discussion in all seriousness, but the
"Herald's' pet writer is one who signs himself .Speed Lover"
He is frankly against all laws restricting the speed of autos and
does not believe. in. the existence of a law-abiding autoist. ct
would as soon," he says, 'beieve in a law abiding saloon
keeper in Brooklyn. The only times a New York automobile
does not break the speed laws IRE when it is standing still or
being towed."
According to this person the prejudice against autos is not
caused by bad driving or speeding. To say that such is the
case is, in his opinion, only panderng to the low, the ignorant
and the unthnking. He is positive that the day is surely com
ing "when the streets will be- fenced off or the laws will be
amended SO that any one getting run over by an auto in the
street will be properly punished for obsructing the traffic"
That is a brilliant suggestion. Fine or imprison every per-
son knocked down by an auto and provide prizes or rewards
for the auto driver who has the largest number of victims tic
his credit each month. New York is a fine place to expert
ment with such a law. Here in New Jersey we are anhquatec
old fogies who cling to the ancient fallacy that pedestrians and
drivers of other vehicles have some rights in and on the public
highways. And the tendency is to reassert these rights and
enforce them by the strong arm of the law.

A RELIEVED SITUATION.

Secretary Cortelyou has acted with
promptness and great judgment in
coming forward to relieve the stress Of
the financial situation in New York.
Whatever the causes that produced
that situation, it was the paramount
duty of the secretary to adopt legal
and rational means for its relief. The
trouble was local, but it might spread
and reach the dimensions. of a disaster.
There were guilty men, whose reckless
ness of management brought about
these conditions, but the innocent must
be protected, and it was the highest
duty of national, State and local in
terests to afford that protection.
The crisis has been passed and con-
fdence must be restored. One good
thing, the financial atmosphere in New
York will be cleared and purified, some
vicious elements will be driven out of
New York banking, business men will
get the accommodations that have
been monopolized by speculative com-
bines, and the banks and trust COM
panies of New York will be stronger
than ever.

VIEWS OF EDITORS.
sirnhonrd Taxntion.

We observe with much satisfaction and
encouragement that the commendable
movement for ''equal taxation" which for
several years has been diligently pushed in
New Jersey has at last got as far as the
huge advertising signboards which so
grossly dishgure much Of the landscape OF
that State. especially along the lines of
railroads. The township Of South Bruins
wick is to be credited with taking the initi-
alive. and the State Board Of Equalization
of Taxes is to be cordially thanked for
supporting it's efforts in a NEST effective
way. We understand that other taxing
districts In the State are sitting up and
taking notice of what has been done in
South Brunswick, and that the levylng of
taxes against signboards is likely very soon
to be general throughout New Jersey. II
so. one Of two things will happen: Either
the State will get a handsome revenue
from a hitherto uncultivated source, or the
signboards which now make so much OF
its naturally beautiful scenery hideous will
be removed. In either case the State and
the public will be. greatly profted and an
example will be set worthy of emulation

THE 1-oNa-M1ss1Ne SQUIRE.

President George e. Squire, of the
board of managers of the Railway Re-
formatory, has not yet materialized.
Governor Stokes is anxious to hear
from the missing man, but has been
unable to get into communication with
him. The reformatory officers say they
have sought him in vain to secure his
signature to some official papers. The
sergeant-at-arms of the Hahn investi-'
eating committee has incurred a large
bill for travelling expenses in a vain
search for the fugitive. 1t does not APP
pear that the services of a detective
agency have been enlisted in the case.
And yet, it is reliably stated that
President George E. Squire has slept in
his own bed il his own home amid his
family nearly every night during the
long period of his disappearance.

LABOR IN LEGAL CONTRACTS.

The laws and usages of all countries
ing character of the contract. Under
our State and national laws the con-
tract is held to be inviolable. A man
who has the contract can always stand
upon his rights under the law. OF late
years the contract has figured in the
relations of capital and labor. 1t has
proved the solution of some serious
labor problems. In the main the con-
tract has been faithfully lived up to on
both sides. Obviously in an agreement
of this kind the employer is bound be-
cause he can be held to his obligations,
while, on the other hand, his employees
cannot be held to any civil respon-
sibility.
But a labor union hat violates a
contract can be enj6ined by the courts,
as has been lone in the Sc of the In
ternational Pressmen's Union at Gin
c~innati, where a Federal judge has is
sued an injunction restraining the
union from violating its contract agree
ment with the United Typothetae of
America. Organized labor wants to
stand on the same footing in business
matters with all other interests and be
held to the same obligations. Such men
- Tohn NHtfnl,ol1 urIn Ia1 Az rr,.oo -
strike four years ago, are %scrupulous
about fulfilling contracts when made,
and II will be by following the counsel
of such men that organized labor will
attain the position TO command fol
itself equal consideration with capital
and by capital and finally eliminate the
strike and the lockout as a feature OF
labor disputes.

THE OF IT.

President Dennan, of the Board Of
Works, Well says hat while the pres
ent departments of the city govern
ment, except the water supply, are an
expense without revenue, the city
would, by constructing docks and the
proposed canal, have the benefit of a
regular income. President Herold, of
the Board Of Health, points out the
sanitary benefits of reclamation of the
meadows by canal construction, The
great commercial and industrial adj
yantages that must accrue to our city
outweigh, however, all other considera-
TONS.
BY persistent effort the Board of
Trade procured from the Federal Gov
a sufficient appropriation to
deepen the channel of the river and
bay. That much is secure. And the
work thus to be done must be supple
mented by municipal enterprise. The
business men who warmly favor the
scheme embodied in the Lane law are
not visionary; they have nc ~extrava-
CANT ideas; they do not favor reckless

A MoRAL1sr PERSECUTION.

The same good people who prevailed
on Congress 10 abolish the army cam
teen, to the great detriment of the
army, physically and morally, are now
after the government to stop the SOL
diers and sailors from playing baseball
on Sundays at their reservations. A re-
ligious organization in Philadelphia is
getting up a strong protest against he
w~ickedness Of permitting the sailors be-
longing to the ships at League Island
naval station to play baseball oil Sum
day. If the government shall heed de-
mands of this kind and shut off it's sol
diers and sailors from physical recrea-
ton on Sunday we may be prepared for
a largely increased exodus of men from
the army and navy. But these de-
mands rave about reached their limit,
and it is not improbable that a decided
reaction will soon set in in Congress.
