The public is sick and tired of these scandals and
charges which never materiaze, which are made
solely for the purposes of creating campaign mater
al." Mr.. Berry had hinted at frauds in regard to
the construction of the state capitol and Mr.. Car
son, forgetting the experiences OF one Payne and
the postoffice frauds, in more polite style, ac-
cused the state treasurer of throwing hot air. Mr..
Berry had been elected in opposition to the ring
that dominated politics in his state.

Quite different thing from calling the state

critic. Probably in the whole history of graft there
never was more successful thing than the build
ing of this state building The committee in charge
had carved throughout the building and on its

NOW WANT THE
UNWR|TTEN LAW
IN THE CODE

Richmond. July 3.--Virginia newspapers
almost unanimously condemn the Hall
fax county jury for acauittng William
G. Loving OF the murder OF Theodore
Estes, and Judge Barksdale for, not ad-
hitting testimony to show that no as
sault had been committed upon Miss
Loving.
The Newport News Press says II Is a
Shame TO Virginia that a jury has been
found within Its limits which by a unani-
nous vote has freed man without even
a reprimand who had killed fellow
mortal In the coldest kind OF way and in
the most deliberate manner.
The majority of the papers are again
gravely discussing the advisability of in
cooperating in the statutes the so-called
"unwritten law" thereby specifying un-
der precisely what circumstances man
shall be justified in taking a human life.
The Roanoke World says that IL the
"unwrtten law is TO have so strong a
place in Virginia Jurisprudence IL is high
time that the rights claimed under 1t arr
specifically defined.
The Danville Register says that IL the
jury had been allowed to view the evil
dence which was declared inadmissible by
the court, they would have seen the case
in an entirely different light.

THE DAY OF DAYS.

Tomorrow the small boy and girl, and many of
the elderly boys and girls too will be in their ele
ment, for it's the nations birhday-that day Of
days that stands out foremost in the life of every
true American. There is many young boy or girl
who have today their due number Of arms, legs,
fingers and eyes, that will be minus some of the
above necessities before midnight of the Fourth.
1t has always been So and this year will probably
be no exception to the rule
Comparisons are in many odious but it
is interesting and instructive to know that on July
5, 1905, the columns reported as killed and
injured 1913, while on July 5, 1906 it had increased
to 2827 If the casualties increase proportonately,
this years manned and dead as the result of the
celebration should number in the neighborhood of
1000.
It's hard to deny the small boy the right to
make noise" free and undisturbed, at least once
every year, but at the time there are many
others to be considered The average youngster
is prone to begin his Fourth of July celebration
about the second third and continue it until the
fifth sixth, if his ammunition or money holds out
About all the grown-ups are grateful for free
dom, and in city, there are in others, many
invalids whose right to what quiet and JOY they
can get out of life is quite as great as the young

may possibly court the presence of large number

THE AWFUL KISS.

The Rev. l. ID. Bass, pastor of the Calvary
Baptist church in Cairo H., in most unusual
mon recently is quoted as declaring and most en-
phatcaly too, that more evil turks in poor little
kiss than in all the other vices put together"
My! That's awful reputation to give to
that entcing, fascinating and allabsorbing act that
has been the nucleus of love and affection long,
long before the Reverend Bass was ever contem-
plated.
And he goes on to say, right out in meeting,
too, that the kiss was the devils most cherished
and fruitful weapon and did more to populate He'll
than whiskey, drugs and all evils rolled into one
Still more awfully awful, isn't It?
And then he says some more, too, which we
must quote just to show that evidently this man
of the cloth has literary aspirations and has Mary
MacLane and her devil" beaten to a FRAGILE He
says:
There is something wonderfully magnetic and
thrilling in kiss. When two sets Of lips come to-
gether it is like two clouds charged with electricity
the one positive and the other negative. And the
result is emotional explosion and cloudburst of
excessive passion and ecstasy. Nothing has more
of heavens fire the fire OF hell than kiss. The
things perverted are the worst nstrumentalties
for deadly evil. And know nothing as subtle and
as damning burning, thrilling kiss. Great God,
deliver us from the kissing devil"
Can you beat it?
Get out of the ministry, Mr.. Bass Take up
Jour pen and begin writing specials for some
of the Sunday newspapers. There would be money
in it for you and you would make hit

HARD TO DECIDE.

The simple action of eating isn't much of
trick with anybody, but to know how to eat prop
erly is an entirely different proposition One
authority not long ago said bolt your meat and
upheld his theory by the argument that the ami
mails do this and in most cases are healthy. Others
advocate thorough chewing of both meat and
other food, and one Horace Fletcher has under
gone series of endurance tests under the director
ship OF the man in charge of the Yale gymnasium.
Just what sort of stunts the subject put through
isn't reported but the Yale director appears salts
fed.
DR.. Wiley denies that he said we ought to bolt
our meat and chew the other things--namely,
cereals-but did give the animal theory. It's GER
tainly knotty question to decide and as one Prof
Fisher asks, IF we humans who live on mixed
diet must chew bread and bolt our ham, what
are we to do with ham sandwich"
Well, figure it out for yourself any old way,
gentle reader-unquestionably you will once in a
while get touch of dyspepsia in either case.

Boss Brayton denies that he favored the en-
dorsement of George Peabody Wetmore for United
States senator, and says that he did not speak in
his favor at the meeting of the state central COM
mittee and that positively he did not vote for him.
The boss might be compared, in action, to the
proverbial hea--you can't tell just Where to put
your finger on him. Several of the members of the
committee have made the statement that the trend
of Brayton's speeches were decidedly in favor of
Mr.. Wetmore and inasmuch as the boss favored
immediate action upon some candidate, and that
Wetmore held the majority and Brayton knew it,
don't this locate the feeling of the boss in the mat
ter, He may deny, and then some more, but the
people won't be fooled all the time.

Big Copper Purchase,

Last Week London syndicate pur. chased one of the biggest lots of cop. per ever sold in one lump, the price being fifteen cents per pound and the amount being 15,0O0, ,0OO$. It is under. stood that the same parties are willing to take over as much more at the same price for March and April de. livery, but it is improbable that it can be had. While there is large stock of copper in this country it is held in small lots and the holders are so easy financially that they will not let go un- til profitable price has been agreed upon. Fifteen cents will net any ot the big mines profit, but it is small considering the immense investments of the operating companies. While it is said that the Clark mines can pro- duce copper for six cents the Copper Queen, Shannon and Green mines can- not get the price below twelve cents. Green copper costs fourteen cents, Shannon thirteen cents and Copper Queen twelve cents, and these are among the greatest producers of the world
