To older graduates of American col
leges, and to most adults who have
not been to college, the solemnity of
the undergraduate youngster is naive
ly funny. One college paper, in such
bitter style as might be appropriate to
some. mighty moral or political issue,
chastises the entire undergraduate
body for not turning out to cheer the
football team at practice. All other
practice. say at penmanship or the
piano, can be carried on by the prac-
TIGERS with the requisite tools. Foot
ball, apparently, cannot be learned ex-
cept in presence OF a mob. Another
college paper gravely protests against
the freshmen's increasing habit Of
walking on the prohibited side Of a
certain street, and declares college
customs to sacred tradition, to be
reverently observed by each young
batch Of collegians. t

About Beggars.

What should be done with helpless
and unfortunate beggars, Civic So
cieties consider some questions but
they fail to touch that. They tell the
people to pick up scraps OF paper in
public places and keep the front
yards attractive and provide public
parks for the weary and lazy. It is
we'll to beautify q town and keep It
clean and sweet and attractive. But
what about a dirty, half-clad beggar
sitting on the street in front Of q
beautiful house and begging every
one that passes by? Some days one
may meet two or three blind men led
by little boys as they 60 from place
to place begging. A few days ago a
deformed person. dwarfish in size,
was sliding along the streets begging.
He was pitiable and unfortunate. But
he had no business here. His county
should have taken care Of him. Let
all such unfortunates in the county
be sent to the parish home where they
will be taken care of. Let each coun-
ty take care Of its own poor. OF
course there are many unfortunates
who are unable to work and make
living. Send them to the county
home. II strange beggars come in
to work the town let them depart.
We have real sorrow for the afflicted
but let homefolks take care Of their
own unfortunates.-Caroli Spar

A WHOLESALE LYNCHING.
Nine Negroes Die at MObs Hands
For the Murder of Two White Men.

Houston, Tex, June 22.-Nine ne
groes met death last night at the
hands Of a mob in the vicinity Of
Hemphill, in Sabine county. Today
both races secured arms and the
tension Is such tonight that a race
clash appear imminent.
The dead: Jerry Evans, aged %;
Will Johnson. aged "a; Nose Spell
man, aged "a; Cleveland Williams,
aged 27; William Manuel, aged
rs; Frank Williams, aged %; two un-
known men; VIM. Coy.
The lynchings followed the killing
of two white men by negroes. Two
weeks ago Hugh Dean and several
other white men visited a negro
church and school house, where a
dance was in progress. presumably in
quest Of liquor.
During the evening Dan was
killed and six negroes were held for
the killing. At the preliminary exam
ination the evidence tended to show
that the plot was formed at the dance
to kill Dean.
Saturday night last Aaron M.
Johnson. a prominent farmer, was
assassinated while seated at the dim
ing table with his wife and child, the
bullet being fired through a window.
For this crime Perry Prince a negro,
was arrested and, it is stated, confess
ed, duplicating Robert Wright, a rel
ative Of one of the negroes held for
Deans murder. Prince declared he
was offered IS to kill johnson.
Then followed the forming Of the
mob last night. the overpowering Of
the jailer at Hemphill and the lynch
ing Of the six negroes held for the
murder Of Dean. Five were hanged
to the same tree, while another at
tempted to escape and was shot to
death. Later in the night VIM. Coy,
another negro, was shot and killed
while standing at the gate Of the
johnson home and this morning the
bodies OF two more negroes were
found in the creek bottom. Wright.
the negro who confessed to the kill
ing Of Johnson, and the man he i'm
plicated were taken to Beaumont for
safe keeping under guard Of the mil
itary company Of San Augustine.
Sabine county Is situated in the
most remote part Of the eastern Sec
tion Of the State with lack Of rail-
road and telegraph facilities.

Selecting Seed Corn.

There is more interest in the corn
crop than usual. Many farmers
know nothing about best varieties Of
corn. They will plant anything so It
Is called corn. An ideal ear of corn
has small cob, both ends almost
hidden by long grains. Seventy
pounds Of such corn will shell 60 to
81 pounds. The ear is almost the
same size all the way and the rows
are straight. Every farmer should
improve his seed if he has a good
kind. Begin on your seed lot when
the corn begins to tassel. Pull out
the tassels OF all imperfect stalks
After the ear forms select only those
that are we'll set and not too high
from the ground. Mark them in
some way. When corn is mature 20
through and gather the marked ears.
Then after taking OFF the shucks ex-
anime thoroughly and take only the
ears that are best. In that way you
"'oJ eSt cHouSH 10 pant anOtncr

selection will give you a uniform va
riety Of corn.

When the marines now under or

Isthmus Of Panama, there will be in
all a force Of DER 1900 officers and
men ready to intervene to prevent the
intimidation Of voters at the municip-
ell and provincial elections to be held
on Tune %. 1t IL understood that
detachment Of marines will be sta
toned at each polling place to pre-
serve order. 1t Il thought that this
force will be suficient for the pur-
pose, but In case more men should
be NEEDED arrangements have been
made for the sending Of additional
marines who are now on waiting or
ders. These dispositions have been
made. II seems. largely on the report
OF Commissioner Blackburn, who
says that the situation on the isthmus
Is more serious than was at first sup
posed. and that a revolution may be
attempted no matter which candidate
Is successful In the elections. Besides
the marines there will be several gun
boats stationed at each end of the
canal. 30 as to prevent any outbreak
which may threaten the security of
American property In the Canal zone.
1t may not be amiss to note that, ac-
coyding to Gov. Magoon's report, there
is little likelihood OF any serious dis.
order at the approaching elections IN

Islands after the election but no gen.

BOLD DASH FOR LIBERTY.

Two COnvicts Escape From the State
Farm-Albert Miller One of Them,
Later Found Drowned.
Hagood, June 22.-Last week Boisy
James and Albert Miller, convicts on
the State farm, made their escape.
The detail was being marched to the
stockade after the days work had
been done when these two men made
a desperate leap for liberty. The
guards fired at them several times,
but they were soon safe in the
swamps. Every effort was made to
recapture them, but without success.
1t was thought that both had made
good their escape. but today the dead
body Of Miller was found in Wateree
river. It is supposed that he was
drowned while attempting to swim
the river.
Nothing has been heard Of Boisy
James.
Miller was from Lancaster county
and was serving a sentence OF Is
