Cant Keep Track of Murders.

Editor Hastings of the Milton
.Sfanaard has the following to say
concerning Northumberland coun-
tvs murder record;
Killings are occurring SO thick
and fast down in the coal regions OF
Northumberland county that it is
difficult to keep the records straight.
The beating to death of John Barit-
sky at Mt. Carmel and the shooting
of Nestico at Shamokin, came 30
close together that the Standard and
the Mt. Carmel Item got mixed up
in giving item the proper catalogue
numbers. The Standard made the
Baritsky killing number II3 and
Nestico the Hath victim, while the
Item had the numbers reversed. As
the Item is published nearer the
base of operations. the Standard
will yield to it and has reversed its
records accordingly. After the last
,erm Of criminal court, when red.
handed murderer was acquitted (by
the jury and two o her murder
cases were postponed until the next
term of court, the editor OF this pa
per offered to wager new hat with
one of the judges that there would
be at least two additional murder
cases before May criminal court
convened. Tie time has not yet
half elapsed and there are already
three-the brutal killing of the Sha-
mokin cobbler and the two noted
above. A similar epidemic of mur-
der and crime followed the miscar-
rage Of justice in the cases of Gu
lick and Gearhart several years ago.
Nothing will check this bloody rec
ord but few we'll regulated hang
ings."

Senator F. A. Godcharles, of
Northumberland county, has made
himself solid with the miners of his
district by the introduction of bill
appropriating $40, 900 for the con-
struction and maintenance of a
hospital car, to be under the direc-
ton of the State Health Depart
ment. Primarily the car is to be
used to transport injured miners to
the Miners Hospital, near Ashland.
The hospital car could be fitted up
with operating tables, cots, medi-
cine chests and all the appliances
necessary to the injured. In some
cases miners could be treated at the
car without the necessity of going
to the hospital.

Not Every Thing That Glitters is
Gold.

| Neither arc great possessions the
real riches. The chiet aim of most
men is to accumulate wealth, a.
though life consisted of great pos
sessions Property is essential tc
happiness and comfort; Int too of.
ten 1t proves to be a snare, instead
OF blessing.
But las it is not all of life to live
nor all of death to die" neither is
prosperity nor wealth tie chief es
sential that renders life happy.
Therefore, great possessions and
Golfers of gold, are not the standard
values by which happiness is mea
sured. ConteDtment, with or with
out great possessions, is the true
standard by which happiness is
measured.
Some men, yes, the ma orty of
them, value very highly, all thincs,
VIII sc commercial worth is measur.
ed by the unit value Of dollar, as
though all values consist of dollars
and cents, and that no life can be
successful without a full measure
OF this worlds goods. And TO this
end many sacrifice every principle
of honor and justice in order to be.
come wealthy.
But many prefer righteous prin
ciples, as the standard of values,
that measure the degrees OF happi-
ness, as the chief source of a sue.
cessful life. Following such
course affords more real happiness
and comfort than to deal, by sharp
practice, to gaiu advantageous
ground to beat every one they deal
with.
Yet many people value friend
ship, souvenirs and other objects
which have no commercial value
whatever, above all values of
commercial nature, which they hold
as dear as life itself.
These things are above all fnan-
cial consideration, and which they
would not dispense with, for mon.
ey, at any price.
A good character is Of greater
value than all the wealth the world
can bestow. Integrity is the gold
of character and which endureth,
when all the Standard oil and the
dross of the world have passed into
oblivion.

FAVOR COCHRAN BILL.

Mr.. Sheath has about concluded
that his committee cannot avoid re
porting out favorably to the house
Senator Cochran's pension bill for
Pennsylvania veterans. The ap.
preparations chairman says that this
measure would take out of the State
treasury in the ensuing two years
not less than 81 900, 900, and per,
haps close 10 $40, 900, 900. The
senate, in which body the Republi-
cans dreaded to oppose the bill, put
it upon the house, and now the
same fear of the consequences oi
killing it prevails among the house
majority. The indications being
that the house will send this bill tc
the governor, Mr.. Sheath throws u,
his hands and asks where provision
is to come from for an increased
school appropriation, heavy suns
for good roads, larger grants to in
sane hospitals. and the many othe
projected increases in expenditures

To the Voters of Columbia County

For years past it has been the un-
written ruleNof the Democratic Par
ty to accord to its various Office
holders second term. This is a
good rule, it is not only good rule
but a saving to the taxpayers of
the county. The unwrtten rue
was unanimously adopted at the
Democratic Convention held June
ID, 1901. DR.. A. H Catterall, of
Berwick, offered the following
resolution:
WHEREAS dissensions have here
tofore arisen in the ranks Of the
Democracy Of Columbia County by
reason of County Officers when
having served two terms in re.
spective Office according to the
custom of the rules of the party
seeking a third term. Therefore
be it resolved that it is the sense of
this convention this day assembled
that the Offices OF Prothonotary and
Clerk Of the Courts, Register and
Recorder, Commissioners. County
Auditors, District Attorney, Asso-
ciate Judge, and all others bereto-
fore considered as two term Offices
be and the same are hereby desig-
mated as two term Offices.
According to the rules of the
Democratic Party, by long estab-
lished usaaes, Judge Krickbaum is
entitled 20 denomination at the
hands OF the Democratic party.
This should be accorded to him,
without opposition.
He has been a good Judge and
by reason of his FIVE years exper-
ience on the bench he will be better
fitted to give the people of the
county good administration in a
second term.

so wealthy that It cannot he held to ac.

under the existing law and with the

Sts 6UWe@s Eufaula, Nov. 5.-(Special.) .)-The se- ries of religious services at St. James's Church are growing more and more in interest
 At the afternoon and evening ser vices yesterday Dr. Matthews delivered able sermons and the song service was especially beautiful.
 Last night the vested choir was out in full force and was augmented by G. D. Teat of Montgomery who is an ardent churchman. Mrs. Bertram Brown also favored the congregation with an exquisite solo that was sung with great sweetness. Dr. Matthews impressed his hearers with beautiful thoughts touching the Bible as being different in many re- spects from any other book. He said that while biographies and other books gave only one and the bright side of life, portraying the good deeds the Bi- ble gave both and cited St. Paul, St. Peter and other Biblical characters in proof of his assertion.
 Citizens of all denominations were again extended a most cordial invita- ton to attend the service. '-,

old question of "domestication" for railroads was discussed, and 1t was be- neved that the Governor will propose 70 have all common carriers refncor- porated. condition to which would promise that they would not take any legislation to the Federal Court.
 But the legislators seemed a bit weary of railroad Legislation. State prohibition was the uppermost subject Tn their interest. It Is known that the nght will begin as soon as the Leg islature meets Thursday at noon Two bills, according to preliminary an- nouncements, will be offered for State prohibition in the House, one by Speak, CT Carmichael and one by Representa- tive Ballard of Autauga. The Ballard bill, which will have the support of the Anti-Saloon League, will provide that the prohibition act shall go into effect on July 1st, 1908.
 The fight will be held in the Senate. Under the constitution a two-thirds vote will be required to take up a sub ject not named in the call. There will be no trouble on this score in the House. In the Senate there is likely to be scrap and the outcome can not be safely predicted until all Senators come to Montgomery.
 The crowd will be large tonight The lobby will be filled, for practically the entire membership or both the House and the Senate will be in the lobby Among the prominent men at the hotel tonight will in all probability be Pres ident Milton H. Smith of. the Louis- vile and Nashville. It was announced Monday that MT. Smith would return to Montgomery tonight. He will be present at the opening of the session to give any information to the law makers which he may have, hut 1t Is not thought that he will remain very long in Montgomery.

 PROHIBITION Gathering Lawmakers
 Discuss It. IS NOW UpPERMosT SUBJECT Governor Will Not Veto Bill fl
 Passed. Lively Scene at Exchange Hotel Lobby As Clans Begin to Gather--Govern- CTS supporters Predominate In
 Early Arrivals at Capital.
IS NOW UPPERMOST SUBJECT

Statutory prohibition was uppermost in the talk of the early corners to the { extra session of the Legislature last night in the Exchange lobby. The early corners were not as numerous as had been expected. but there were enough lawmakers, State officials and legis- lattve attendants to show any man who knows Alabama that the Legislature is about to assemble.
 The legislation affecting railroads, which Governor Conner will. propose, was discussed only in a speculative sense, for none of the early corners knew what he will propose. It was an unknown quantity and nobody in the crowd seemed especially interested in it, in comparison to the more absorb ing question of State prohibition.
 The lawmakers whos came in yester- day were Senators Fred L. Blackmon, O. Calhoun;s John ". Overton, of Ram dolph. and Henry F. Reese. of Dallas, and Representative J. s. Benson, of Jackson County. Senator Overton was accompanied by hls bride of week, who will remain with him during the extra session. They will be at the Ex- change Hotel. Senator Reese last night was only passing through Montgomery from Nashville to his home in Selma. He will return 10 Montgomery tonight. Captain w. B. Kemp, the veteran door keeper of the Senate, and Sam Carpen- ter, who has attended every session of the Legislature held in, recent years, were familiar figures in the lobby.
 Former Congressman Jesse F. Stali- ings was in the lobby. but he declared that he was there only by accident as he was on his way to his home In Bir- mingham after experimenting the har- vesting of his cotton crop on his Butler County plantation.
 Governor Present.
 Governor Conner was himself in the lobby for few moments, accompanied by his private secretary, William E. Fort. At o'clock ins the evening he came down from the Capitol, where he off the executive message to the Legis- up with either the temperance people Iature. After a few minutes converse ton with several friends fn the lobby the Governor left to get his supper.

 Patrolmen Jordan ran upon the ne- gro on South Union Street, and com manded the negro at the point of a pistol to halt. The negro did stop and was promptly taken to police bar racks. where he was locked ap on a charge of fast driving.
 In the recorders court yesterday af- ternoon, Lucas was fined $5 and costs.
