Let the Law be Upheld.
Winchester (Na.) Star.

w Nf't-t 'boi'
When Peter c. Hams, .r, Il cap
tain in the United Stated Army, shot
and killed William E. Annis at the
Bay Side Yacht Club on Long Island,
he deliberately put himself above the
law and the courts and took the ad-
ministration of the law into his
own hands. The killing Of Annis
was cold blOoded, deliberately
planned murder Captain Hams
and his brother went to the club
house for the purpose of shooting
Annis The brother held the crowd
back at the point of a revolver, while
the Captain fired six shots from his
pistol into the helpless form OF An
mis- as the latter was seated IN his
boat.
Hams pleads justification on the
grounds that Annis ruined his wife
and wrecked his home. AS to this
point, however, there is grave doubt,
Annis having maintained with his
last breath that the wrong man had
been shot and the woman having de-
MED that her relations with the dead
man were improper.
1t seems to us there is too much
of this thing of men taking the law
into their own hands and going
about shooting other men in promis-
cuous fashion. Law is the foundation
of government and of society, and
those who disregard it and trample
it in the dust should be punished and
punished with ri@Or and severity.

New Uses for Cotton.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
The influence being exerted by
Southern papers and organizations
to increase the use of cotton goods,
is an influence we'll applied. The in
creased use i'll goods of cotton man
ufacture points the way to perma
nent basis of high price for the raw
staple. We are i'll entire accord with
the views of the New Orleans Plea
.VUne when it says that despite the
preaching of agitatOrs ard the opin-
ions ofmany reputable agriculturists,
the true prosperity o. the South is to
be found in raising as large crops OF
cotton as can be profitably handled,
and not in artificially curtailing the
production of that important staple.
The Southern part of these United
States can grow cotton more reason
ably and i'll greater quantities than
any other portion of the world. and
it is important that the market for
American cotton and therefore, the
consumption of that article, should
be as widely extended as possible.
While cotton is employed in many
lines of manufacturing, aside from
the ordinary one of conversion into
cloth, there is no doubt that the en-
ployment of cOtthn could be much
extended Cotton rope could be
used more extensively than it is, and
cotton could be substituted for iute
and burlaps in the manufacture or
containers of many articles OF
merchandise.
The plan suggested by the South
ern Wholesale Grocers' Association
at its Asheville meeting that the
Southern grocers give preference to
goods packed in cotton and cotton
sacks, is IL good one, but the farmers
themselves could make a great
stroke by having their bales covered
with cotton bagging. They would
not only save money over the price
of iute bagging. but would be en-
larging the market for the product OF
their OWN fields Some day, a cotton
mill in the South is going to turn
out an article in cotton Dagging
satisfactory in quality and price and
soon after that is done, We will see
no more iute bagging.

THE GOLD LEAF.
Racial Marriage a National Problem.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
1t is a significant fact that Don
nigan, the first negro lynched by the
frenzied mob at Springfield, ILL.,, IN
the shadow of the home of Lincoln,
was married to a white woman.
SsTwo other negro residents OF
Springfield with white wives would
in all probability have become vic
tins OF the mob had it not been for
the timely arrival OF the troops; they
were among the first to express fear
of consequences when the withdraw
OF the troops began.
We are not prepared to say to Just
exactly what extent this racial in
termarriage was responsible for mob
b murder and destruction in Springfield;
but that it was a frightful source OF
infammability cannot be questioned.
Why was Donnigan the first victim
of the mob's wrath? There can be
but one answer; it is found in the act,
whether Iegalized or not, which is
repugnant to the AnglO-Saxon idea OF
race standards-a thing deplored by
all and which, not unnaturally, eX-
cites to vengeance.
Recognizing the Importance and
necessity Of preserving the purity OF
the race, the States OF the South
have put ban upon lawful miscege-
nation. and the mulattO born OF we'd
lock is u thing unknown. He is the
product Of deplorable viciousness OF
which he bears the faint. But the law
constitutes an inpenetrable barrier
to the mixing of the blood Of the
races.
1t is true that even in the North
ern States which tolerate or legalize
such intcrmarriage, hybrid families
Of this sort are comparatively few;
yet in Springfield it is apparent that,
upon occasion, these conditions
arouse the same resentment as they
would in the South and upon former
occasions as they have, in North
ern communities.
1t is not a matter, it is true, in
which there is any immediate or
pressing danger of racial corruption;
let us hope that the instinct OF race
preservation will forever prevent it.
But we must look to the future,
and in the future the preservation OF
race purity and integrity is not by
any means one of the least impOr
tant functions of well-administered
government.
1t comes next III consequence to
the preservation of the home, and
there is no reason why racial inter
marriage should not be as much the
subject of national legislation as he
plural marriages of the Mormons.
Thus has Springfield presented in
striking aspect another national
problem; and congressional action
interdicting racial intermarriage be-
tween blacks and whites would. we
cannot doubt, prove an important
step i'll the solution of that other
national problem of racial harmony.
lntermarriage of the races will, if
unchecked, become no less a national
curse than was pOlygamy, confined
to restricted area III fact, the pos
Utilities of the evil are greater in pro-
portion to the extent of liberation
or recognition OF it.
1t is, besides, an ever present
source OF friction, IL smOuldering
torch which law must quench or
leave it free to light the powder can
of human passion from whose latest
deplorable explosion Springfield is
now SO severely suffering.

Northern Race Prejudice.
Atlanta journal.

aCianU3 JOuFnai.
Much has been said Of late of the
attitude of the North on the race
question. as indicated by the riots
in the home of Abraham Lincoln, in
which negroes were lynched under
circumstances quite as strocious as
ever prevailed in the South
A good many lessons have been
drawn from it, and it is hoped that
it will go a long way towards
silencing the sectional criticisms Of
the South.
But there has been an echo of that
race riot which is still more con-
vincing as to the intolerance of the
North towards the negro. In Spring
field a grave crime had been com
mitted-the same old crime which
stirs the South and the North alike
to frenzy The people were in high
state of excitement.
In Gage Park, a suburb of Chicago,
however, there was no such excite
ment, and yet it develops that up
there, even further towards the
North, that race prejudice is equally
upcompromising. A citizens as
ISOLATION has organized for the public
welfare and in the course of the de-
liberatiOns recently it was learned
that two ministers were raising
funds for the purpose of erecting a
church for the negroes, many OF
whom were expected to move into
Gage Park from Springfield, as II
sort of haven of refuge from the in
tolerant people of the latter city.
In an instant that citizens COM
mittee looked like an incipient riot.
One of the excited citizens exclaimed
that with q shotgun or revolver in
every house, and plentiful supply of
ropes and trees, the people of Gage
Park will rid themselves of the forty
two families of Springfield negroes
which two ministers propose to
bring here.
Is there any community in the
Southern States where sentiments
like that would find utterance?
But the citizens committee of
Gage Rark went further and decided
to blacklist any real estate agent
who agreed to sell Or rent houses to
negroes-with the result, no doubt,
that the negro refugees from Spring
field will not go to Gage Park, but,
in all probability, will come some
where South, where they have al
ways found their best friends.

The addition of this new de-
partment will in no wise interfere
with the production of stoneware,

an entire car load of stoneware
was too much for some of the

THE SIGHT of a mans household
goods, his lares and penates, be.
ing hauled along the street or toted
familiarly about, swathed in bur-
lap, is one calculated to impress
all with the vanity of human pos.
sessions and achievements. This
feeling deepens when the outlays
for breakage and repairs and re-
finishing are considered. To the
wonder why people move so often
must be added the other query,
why they move as much stuff as
they do. Time was when every
thing in the house, from cookstove
to clothes press, was movable.
Now the landlord commonly fur
nishes the range, closets, bookcases
and cupboards are being more
generally built in. Some of the
more progressive owners supply
screens and shades and host of
minor accessories that have moth
ing personal in their service and
yet which are indispensable.
There is no golden mean yet at
tanned, however, between the
house let "furnished" and that
one which needs much heavy
movables to make il habItable.
Perhaps the day will never come
when chairs and tables, dressers
and chiffOniers, and even pianos
are let with the house, when the
floors are so finished they can
be covered easily and in sanitary
way with rugs, but it would be
great gain all around if it were
more generally so. People who
move often can't have very much
affection for any one of their tenn
porary domiciles. Those who must
move should be able to go lightly.
