WE'D, APRIL Is. 1908.

Last Thursday afternoon Mr..
Matthews and Mr.. Smith, OF
Barbourville, the former a candi-
date for the Republican nominal
ton for Congress, and Hon. u.
C. Edwal DIS addressed a fair siz-
ed audience in the courthouse,
this city. Mr.. Smith directed
his remarks toward the welfare
of the G.. O. P. and to the adj
vancement of his associate seek
ing Congressional honors. After
his thirty minutes address. Mr..
Matthews took the floor and used
full one and one half hours, main
ly in trying to place Congress
man Edwards in bad light when
measured by Republican senti-
ment founded on the charges and
trials of Caleb Powers and an eff
fort made for Powers pardon.
His speech, so far as we heard,
failed to measure up to that high
ideal of public addresses, so bad
ly needed at this particular time
in every part of this State, and
by every man who seeks position
Of honor and trust. Congress-
man Edwards, whatever his
faults may be, met the charges
in a manner beftting a gentle
man, and his speech, largely ex-
planatory of his position, showed
him to be a person who believes
in a fair, square deal. In other
words, judging from the speeches
made, Mr.. Matthews is seeking
advantage of his competitor by
an effort to keep alive the fires
of political passion and ride the
wave of sentiment thus created
into Congress. This may prove
a happy hit, a winning hand with
the voters of his party, but we
can not see any good to come
either to his district, his State
or his party. He may make a
good Congressman, if elected,
but we are not in sympathy with
such methods to become the NOM
inee The fact is, that the cam
paign, wholly in Their party,

to leave the past, look to the fu-
ture and respect the present. 1t
is their fight, not ours, their re-
sponsibility, but the common
good of all in this district is in
volved. If Mr.. Matthews wants
to represent this district in Con-
gress, and a Republican has to
be selected, we have no stronger
objections to him than for any
other man holding his views.
But it will take prudence to win
the nomination, and in our judg-
ment, it would be better for him
to change his manner toward his
opponent.

Squire w. E. Hancock, of
Cane Valley, informed us last
Wednesday that on that day for
ty-fve years ago, he was in the
firing line at Shiloh and at that
time it appeared to him that he
was facing the whole Confeder-
ate army. Time flies is an old
saying, and probably no one
more fully realizes the truth of
this than the soldiers of that
memorable struggle. The en-
counters of those times, the hard
ships of marches, the facing Of
their equals, in line of battle,
seem almost as vivid now as
when the wind waited the smoke
from the field Of battle, and yet
it has been nearly a half a centu-
ry. But while time flies. equally
true, prejudice and sectional an

with no wars without, malice
and hatred buried by time, the
old soldiers Of each side bear love
and good will for each other.
Squire Hancock, a true soldier,
a good citizen, is also an official
whose purpose is to best serve
his district and his county as he
sees and understands its necessl-
ties and resources.

Congressman Edwards,

Congressman Edwards, who
seeks to succeed himself, is up
against a live wire. Mr.. Mat
thews, his opponent, is a lawyer
of good ability, a man of affairs,
forceful speaker and aggressive
in policy. He is evidently in the
race to win and is cutting a broad
swarth in this part of the district.
Just at this time, to an unbiased
outsider, it looks like an uncer-
tain quantity for Mr.. Edwards
and the future full of doubts.
The manner of the two men as
evidenced in Their public address
es leaves the impression that the
Congressman is on the defensive,
and that. position rarely ever
brings victory.

WOMEN OF HIGH RANK.

In the eighteenth century there were
quite number of instances of women
of high rank being put TO death, some
of them by means of public knouting
on charges of eonspiring against the
crown. But if the authoress of the out
rage perpetrated against the governor
general of Moscow shortly before Christ
mas turns out to be the missing Prin-
cess Metchersli, as would appear (the
story having received Photographic cor
roboration), it would be the first instance
in a century of a princess of one of the
great houses of the Muscovte aristoeraoy
suffering on the .scaffold.
In this connection it is recalled that a
few months ago Prince Paul Miehaelo-
witch Metcherslxi, who had been visiting
in st. Petersburg his son, an officer of
one of the cavalry regiments.of the guard,
was found in a first-class compartment
of the express train from the capital on
his arrival at Moscow dead, with bull
let in his brain, while on a card lying
on the seat of the railroad carriage were
found the following words inscribed in
his handwriting in pencil:

escape. It's useless to dodge fate"

SHERIFF RETURNS
WITH PRISONERS
JOHN AND CHARLES HlNE, WHITE
BROTHERS, WANTED FOR AS.
SAuLT TO MURDER AT FLOR
ENcE, CAPTURED IN MISSOURI

Florence, February 3-(Special. )-Sheriff
c. w. Young returned this morning from
a trip to Missoari and Illinois, bringing
with him three prisoners, John and
Charles Iine, white men, charged with
assault to murder, and Dave Seawright,
colored, under indictment for murder
Sheriff Young left Florence a week ago
armed with eXtradition papers for the
three men. The Hine brothers were cap
tured in Cardwell, Mo-, where they were
working as section hands on a railroad.
The crime with which they are charged
was committed about IS months ago, and
was particularly atrocious one.
They were invited into the yard of
farmer at Green Hill one Sunday after
noon to eat waternielons and commenced
swearing in the presence of the women
of the family. The father and husband
| demonstrated, when the Hines, one with
the carving knife and the other with an
axe, attacked their hosts, cutting the girl
and seriously wounding the man. After
getting his wife and daughter in the house
the farmer returned to the yard and the
fight continued until neighbors came to
the rescue.
Dave Seawright, the negro, is the al
legged slayer of Will Cole, who was killed
in craps game four years ago at Stew
arts Spring. The prisoners were placed
in the Lauderdale county Jail to await
the action of the grand jury, which meets
next month
Miss Lucy Myers. eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. c. A. Myers, died last night
at the family residence on Hawthorne

moro than two months with typhoid fever,
and her death had been expected for sew
eral days. The deceased was just 81
years of age, and was young woman OF
lovely character and her death after so
long an illness was a peculiarly sad one.
She is survived by her parents and a sis
ter y years of age. The remains were
taken this morning to their former home,
killen, for interment.

"kinq Casey.s

John and Emma Ray returned to the
Bijou theatre last night in a new musical
show entitled liking Casey" 1t is an
assortment of nonsense, set off with
pretty girls and tuheful music, and en-
livened with fun in generous quanti-
ties. Johnny Ray is still the eomieal Irish
man, with his inimitable laugh and his
leer OF establishment that invariably sets
everybody to laughing. Mrs. Ray has Il
congenial part as Mrs. Golde Mine,
lady of wealth from the west, who mar
ries the real King Casey while he is
masqueradng in New York. and while his
twin brother, played by Johnny Ray, the
real fireman, is posing as king in the
island of Lalla Pa zaza. There are many
absurd complications as a result of con-
fused identities. and Johnny Ray loses
no opportunity to set the house in d
guffaw. There are two acts and each
one is diverting in all its particulars.
In addition to the Rays, who are in
themselves able to carry a performance
on their shoulders and furnish an even
ing of abundant entertainment, there are
several able assistants in the comedy and
the best drilled and best lokng set of
chorus girls seen in Birmingham in long
while. They number 16, and in addition to
their personal attractions they have plenty
of the necessary nerve that goes to make
the success of a musical comedy. The
girls figured in several novel and ex-
tremely pretty ensembles that won re-
peated eneores. Two or three of the song
numbers made. decided hits. MY Dixie
Girl in the first act. "Strongheart." IN
Teach You How" "Uncle Sam Land and
prairie Mary" won rounds of applause
in the second act. The sprightly work
of the chorus was a feature of prairie
Mary"
Mr. Ray is supported by a large conf
pany, in addition to Mrs. Ray. Dan Cole
man, who is familiar to Birmingham the
atre-goers as Caseys double again has
that part, while Ford Sterling is decidedly
funny as the German prime minister, Or
phin Noodle. Miss June May is pretty
and dainty as the Kings daughter. She
also sings in a pleasing fashion. Miss
Julia Sweeney as the court physician GER
tainly makes an ideal doctor, and one that
almost any sick person would be glad
to have about.

At the Gayety.

"Crackerjacks They're crackeria cks all
right" said one of the audience as that
large assemblage poured out of the
Gayety last night And right he was.
Bob Manchester's Crackerjacks is the
name of show that is good because
every one of its many different parts is
entertaining.
Bob Van Osten is a comedian out OF
the ordinary. 1t is true he adopts the
usual burlesque rough makeup, but he
exudes comedy in his every action. His
wit is natural and he can create. a laugh
with almost every word he utters. He is
we'll supported by the feminine members
of the cast. Ruby Leoni has a handsome
appearance and plays her part well. Lille
vedder as "Sesette,' gay nanicurlst,
couldn't help pleasing even if she didn't
want to. With her good looks, lively
dancing and evident desire to please, she
is all that could be asked for.
Saratoga Bellies is the name of the
first act and Mature In Marble Hail. is
the title of the last act, while the olio
is brimful of pleasing things. There are
four different things on the vaudeville bill
and 1t would require an excellent judge
to tell just which sketch was the best.

girls, were more than pleasing in their
acrobatic dancing. Whether they came
