rage to Miss Emily Case of the town

fairs and his advice often sought on
enterprises of various sorts. The de-
ceased is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Emily Case Harrington, four daughters

he Laws Failure.

Everywhere there is a frightful
exhibition of lawlessness. 1t be-
tokens Enthusiastically dreadful ap-
ostacy. The Southern Presbyterian
attributes it to the practical break
down of the judiciary. The respon-
sibility of the judiciary, it says, is
not a fiction, but an awful realism
and yet there seems to be the re-
fusal ON its part to meet the respon-
sibility for which it has been crea-
ted and for which it is continued in
existance. one frequently hears
it said, The cour; Is a farce. ut Is
easy to dodge the law; 1T makes
no difference what a man does. if he
pulls the string, he can get out all
right. and it would seem that
there is more fact than fiction,
more truth than poetry, in the as
serti0n that TO be a murderer is
safer than to be "A brakeman on a
railway tram because the death
rat, is lower.
The breakdown IN the criminal
law is 50 complete that friends,
money, social position, shrewd law
yers, trivial technicalities, do, very
readily, get one out. Accordingly
statistics show number of executions
for murder is one in seventy. 1t is
calculated that murderers have
multiplied five-fold during the
past twenty-five years, and that the
annual number of executions is five
hundred and twenty against nine
thousand murderers.
One may now strike down his
fellow in death, and NJ matter how
coldblooded and CHASTITY the deed.
the prime question is not that of
law and its just penalty, but the
defect of justice, the escape from
the penalty due such a transgress-
ion by every possible means, all the
way from unreasonable, lengthy
days in bringing the offender to
trial prejudicing witnesses, to Great
ing favorable sentiment, to employ
ing shrewd council, to influencing
the pardoning power of the State ex-
ecutive, which too fequently is not
difficult, since he is dependent upon
his popularity with the masses for
reelection, or election to some other
office This same easy way cbarac-
terizes the commission Of other
crime. The criminal law thus be-
comes refuge and the occasion Of
license, lawlessness and Hbertinism
in the masses. Clarion Ledger.

Census Bureau Report.

The government census report
shows 397 .924 bales, counting round
as half bales, ginned from growth
Of 1908 to September l, as compar-
ed with 200, 278 for 1907, 1,855
for 1906. and 476. $50 for 1905. The
mum Der of active ginneries this year
is 6,613. as compared with 1850
for 1907, 6,628 for 1906 and 1923
for 1905. Round bales included
this year are 20. 514. against II, SOB
for 1907, p. $50 for 1906 and p. 231
for 1905.
Below the summary of the situa-
ton Is reproduced from the columns
Of the New Orleans Times-Democrat
Of September 8:
Yesterdays cotton market acted
logically enough, and the absence Of
speculative support considered, re
sponded to the over-holiday bullish
influences in about the proper de-
gree. Trade demand is improving,
not in the ratio 10 be expected to
follow trade revival on the big scale,
but sufficiently rapid to indicate the
current tendency On the other
hand, the interior continues to offer
cotton sparingly, and in this the
producer Is being aided by delayed
maturity, proof Of which was sup
piled by the Census Bureau report
Of cotton ginned to Septem Der /.
On that date only 397 1914 bales
from the growth Of 1908 had passed
through the ginneries, as against an
expected showing Of 500. 900. These
figures, 50 early in the season, sup
ply valuable insight into the av-
erage date of maturity, but in no
sense Of the word are they a guide
to the size Of the yield. For in
stance, on September 1, 1905, AL
900 bales had been ginned and the
total crop was small, while on the
corresponding date in 1906 4O8, 900
bales were reported and the crop
turned out large.
Meanwhile crop reports continue
to vary widely, so widely in fact,
that the operator of extreme persua-
sion in either direction may find
ample justification for his views by
merely ignoring one-half the crop
data coming to hand However,
there appears to be no doubt what
ever that distinct deterioration has
taken place. that the possible out
turn has been reduced by adverse
conditions, and that the maximum
movement will be delayed some
time later than professionals antic-
ipated earlier IN the season.
Incidentally, while the volume Of
cotton ginned to Septem Der I has
fallen below expectations, the guam
tity of cotton exported since that
date has amounted to so 82 bales,
as compared with %, $50 last year
and IS, 564 in the year before last.

Charter for Prairie.

The Aberdeen Weekly joins citi-
zens of Aberdeen generally in well
coming Prairie into the sisterhood
of municipalities. The following
clipped from the Commercial APP
peal explains itself:
The governor. today issued a
proclamation for the charter of the
village of Prairie, Monroe county,
which application he has had under
consideration for some time, the
village being a hourishing station
on the Mobile and Ohio railroad.
The village contains 1877 inhabi-
tants, IS substantial dwellings of
white families, s stores, all occu-
pied, one Baptist church in use and
a Methodist church being built, and
has property valuation of SILL
1856. The corporation charter Is
asked for by more than two-thirds
Of the voters. -

The Black Fiend.

The assault Of the black fiend
Neb Patton, on Mrs. McMullen and
daughter, of Oxford, Miss, on
Tuesday, was among the most afro
cious crimes ever occurring in the
State. The negro was a trusty and
was sent on an errrand to the home
of Mrs. McMullen by her husband,
who was incarcerated in the Oxford
Jail After lettering about the place
for some time, the negro attacked
Mrs. McMullen, slashing her throat
with a razor and killing her almost
instantly. He then pursued the
daughter, but she being too fleet Of
foot, escaped him. As soon as the
news got abroad, of course an i'm
mense throng of angry citizens as
sem bled to wreak vengeance. Hon.
w. A. Roane, Judge of the circuit
district, and several preachers ad-
dressed the crowd in behalf of the
law taking its course. Such talk at
a time like that was like water
poured on a duck IS back. AS soon
as Ex-U. S. Senator w. V Sulli-
van intimated what the correct pro-
cedure In a case like that had been
in the South, the mob broke loose,
battered down the doors Of the Jail
and hung the fiend higher than
Hannah. 1t is useless to moralize
obedience to law-the
majesty of the law, divine or hu-
man in the face of such crimes
in our Southern coun-
try. There is but one penalty, quick
and sure but not terrible enough in
its vengeance, that will either satisfy
or abate the crime, and that sdeath
in the most terrifying
possible.

Rural Carriers Organize.

The rural route mail carriers Of
the First Congressional District
met here this week and organized
for purposes Of promoting the serv-
ice and other benefits. The meet
ing was fairly attended and the
organization was efficiently Off
cered for furtherance Of the work.
The efforts of the carriers will be
directed towards influencing legis-
lation in postal matters that viii
give better mail facilities to the
rural districts and at the same time
compensate the carrier better for
his work. One thing that they
are interested in just now, is to
secure enactment of the Parcel
Post law Another. though of
secondary Importance to them, is
the establishment Of Postal savings
banks. The carriers are not alone
interested in securing the above
measures. The Farmers Union and
various other labor organizations
have been clamoring for them quite
a while, and have made their, in
fuence felt to such an extent that
Congress has been seriously consid-
ering the enactment of both
into law.

The belief current for some time
that the sting of the honey bee is
beneficial to persons suffering from
rheumatism, has recently been
strengthened considerably by the
experience Of some rheumatics in
Philadelphia, who are getting stung
periodically accordingly to the fol-
lowing plan: The part affected is
washed first with an antiseptic sol
ution and a bee is placed thereon.
The insect sings, of course. with
the usual sequel; but it is found
that after the swelling and pain
from the puncture subside, much
of the pain from the rheumatism
goes with it. The theory Is said to
have originated thus: An old
farmer.m much crippled with rheuma-
tism, was attacked by swarm of
bees, and a. he could not run away,
he suffered severely. When he re-
covered from the insects sting his
had almost DISAPPEARED
and he felt twenty years younger.
This result is ascribed by the med
ical men to the formic acid in the
virusof the bee The acid may be Oh
tanned frnm other sources or manu-
featured commercially and can be
injected hypodermically bat the bee
happens to be natuerl svrange al
