LOYALTY TO TAFT.

President-elect Taft made the right
remark at Hattiesburg when he said
he was elected President without the
vote of the people over in that neigh
borhood, and he can rest assured that
the people over there will be just as
loyal to him as they would be to any
President who does not believe in
forcing such things as Crum appoint
ments or dining Booker Washington
Natchez Democrat.
The enthusiastic welcome which
President-elect Taft received in Hat
tiesburg was largely due to his profess
sions of friendship for the South, and
The News confidently hopes that he
will do nothing during his term Of Of
fee to lessen the esteem of Hatties
burgans.
1t will be remembered, however
that Roosevelt went into office will
the same sort of promises, and tha
he was not long in bringing dowr
upon his head the wrath of self-re
specting white men.
Let us hope that NJ. Taft will pur
| sue a different policy.

Tazewell, Va, Sept. 24-(SpeciaD
There have been no sensational de-

murder mystery other than the re-
lease from custody this morning of
Silas Justls and his two soas who
were arrested yesterday charged with
the murder of Aunt Betsy Justis, "
not Blankenship. and her son-in-law
and family consisting OF wife and
three children Although the blood
hounds followed a trail directly 20
the Justis home in the mountain
fastness three miles FROM the scene
Of the murder the suspects were
able to prove an alibi and gain their
liberty. On account of heavy rain
fall yesterday afternoon and last
night no attempt Is said will be
made to get a fresh trail with the
hounds Despite the fact that
posse consisting of several hundred
men most OF whom arc familiar with
the mountain and hiding places OF
murderers In that immediate location
1t seems that the men who commit
ted the most horrible crime i'm the
history OF the southwest have made
their escape with the booty Of the
dead woman. Every possible effort
Is being made to catch the murder
ers OF the old woman and her son
and family and If they are caught
there IS no question as 20 what will
be their tragic end. The citizens Of
Buchanan are wrought to a pitch OF
excitement and wrath never before
known i'm the county. The murder
Of the family purely for the money
they had In the house IS said to be-
no surprise to those acquainted with
the people Of that section Of Buch-
anan as IL is wei known that a great
many Of the people living there have
sold coal lands and gotten together
a good deal Of money which never
being used 20 banking facilities and
having their own opinions about
banks have kept in the houses and
