Storm In Marion Twp.

Last Friday evening this section
was visited by one of the hardes,
rains eyer known in this part OF
Marion Tp., causing all the little
streams to become roaring torrents
which swept everything before
them. Fences, cornfelds, wheat
and even live stock was swept
away, causing hundreds of dollars
IF damages to the farmers who
will be obliged to replant their
corn where the soil ia not washed
away. The storm appeared to come
from the south accompanied by
much thunder and lightning, 1t
seemed to be cloud burst and the
good people of North Marion sin,
cerely hope that they may not soon
again be visited by such disas-
trous rain. Luckily Rushcreek
did not get out of bank as 1T did
not reach the upper part of the
creek.
The people of this vicinity were
again called last Wednesday to at
tend the funeral of one Of our old
est citizens. Mr.. John Weidner,
who died. last Sunday at his home
on Rushcreek and was inferred,
Wednesday at the new Lutheran
church on Rushcreek at 10 O'Clock
n. m., Rev. Caller officiating. Mr.,
Weidner was resident OF Marion
TIP. all his life and was hard
working honest man, who believed
in doing right and being honest,
aud his life showed that he prac
tissd what he believed. He will
be miseed in this community. He
was about 8S years old and was IA
consistent faithful member of the
Evangelical Lutheran church the
greater part of his life. He leaves
a widow and three children to
mourn his departure to the spirit
world. Rev. Caller preached an
excellent sermon which was listen

Sham Fight Of Troops, Reproduced

Heidelberg, March PA terrify-

Gently alarmed the superstitious vii

O'Clock in the forenoon, there ap-

could be plainly seen q, landscape,
with fields, streams and woods,
among which two bodies of troops in
battle formation were advancing
toward each other, firing volleys.
The puffs of smoke were clearly visi-

Half an hour later the picture sud-
denly disappeared, but the excitement
and fear aroused among the villagers
lasted until next morning, when the
explanation appeared in the news
papers OF the district that a sham
fight had been held by the garrison
of Mergentheim, some twenty miles
distant and had caused the mirage.

judges Not Above Criticism.
Statesville Landmark.


Sometimes the newspapers and the
people who criticize Judges and the
conduct of the courts are rebuked by
those who hold that Judges are
above criticism. Some of the Judges
themselves appear to think they are
immune from the criticism which is
the lot of other public officials. No
right thinking citizen will encourage
a disrespect for the courts, but the
law is so often administered by the
courts in way calculated to bring
it's administration into contempt and
ridicule, that proper criticism is nee
essary to prevent the recurrence Of
these things; and it is to be remarked
in passing that it is more than Often
the case that men are elevated to
the bench who are utterly unfit for
judicial position, have no proper
conception of their duties, and only
the lash of public opinion prevents
them doing worse than some of them
dO-which is bad enough in some
cases. In New York few days ago
Judge William J. Gaynor, an able
jurist, in public address touched on
this subject and his remarks are to
the point. He said:
IF there be shortcomings in municipal
administration, | can assure you that
there are also very grave shortcomings
in judicial administration. Do not allow
yourself to be deluded into the belief
that everything is perfect there. Per-
lection does not belong to any Of the
sons of men, and your Judges are only
human. AS the Spanish proverb says,
we are all just as God made US. and
some of US a good deal worse. | would
feel much more free to speak of the Jude
ial than of the executive branch of gov
eminent, and to speak freely. | am not
of those who believe that the courts
should not be criticised That is a
strange and evil notion. They should be
watched and criticised the same as the
other branches of government, and eau
be kept up to proper standard in no
other way. The ludicrous thing is for
! Judges themselves here and there to be
| proclaiming that the courts should not
| be criticized in their work. There has
| been an epidemic of such nonsense OF late.
| These same Judges, SO delicate about
criticism and yet indicate enough to
claim that they should be free from it,
are probably sadly in need OF public at
| tention and criticism.
The laws delay in this country, not
to mention anything else, is scandalous,
1t is as great an evil as when Shake
speare enumerated it among the five
great evils of his day in the famous So
liloquy. / am not speaking
OF abuses. That is not criticism. Would
that libel and abuse could be lessened
and criticism increased. Criticism up
holds and approves as well as con-
dennis"

Some Great Fallacies and What
Thew Have Cost Us.

From an address by Clarence Fl. Poe. editor
of the Progressive Farmer, before the
Southern Commercial Congress, Wash
ington, u. t.
''The farmer, the common labOrer
OF any sort, needs no training. Ed
ucate him and you spoil him. The
poorer you keep him, the richer will
be the upper class" These have been
our great pet faIlacies. And a long
time have they been preached.
Hugging this vampire delusion, the
Southern plantation owner has seen
vast abandoned to broom
sedge b ,gullies, in spite OF the fact
that intelligent handling would have
kept them productive a thousand
years.
Preaching this fatal doctrine. the
merchant has sold western meat and
scoOtes tobacco, when with prosper
Gus patrons he might have quadru-
pied his profits by selling sulky plows
and harvesters and carriages and
pianos.
Deluded by this fallacy, the states
man has struggled against fate only
to die and be forgotten by people too
poorly educated to read his biogra-
ply and too poor in property to
build a monument to his memory,
while smarter and meaner men. in
sections unshackled by these ancient
errors, are famed in song and story.
Writing editorials in support OF
aristocratic instead of the democrat
ic theory of industory, the editor has
seen his patent-outside weekly fail OF
support, when aproperly trained and
educated people would have brought
him wealth as the head of prosper
Gus daily.
Fighting public taxation for brtter
schools and other methods of train
ing and enriching the average man.
your manufacturer has struggled
along with a small business when a
prosperous average man would have
given us great industries Ii ke those
in the North and West.
Still arguing that education and
training would spoil the working
man. and that "cheap labor" is what
we need, your banker has concluded
that the South offers no OppOrtuni-
ties for the great financier. forgetting
that cheap. unprOsperOus la Dor
means small, upprosperOus banks.
Opposing taxation for better
schools. the railroad, hauling cotton
in the fall. and low-grade fertilizer in
the the spring. have fought passen-
ger rate reduction as life and death
matter when a we'll trained people
would supply the various traffic and
the heavy dividends of the other Sec
tiOns.
Your lawyer, doctor, preacher,
teacher-each falling in line with the
ancient heresy, has paid the penalty
in diminished fees. diminished sala.
ries. diminished influence.
Victims of the vicious teaching ]
am pointing out, your men OF talent
artist. sculpture. poet, orator, have
too often fed to other sections. OF

these things you might see statues

city, the work of the Southern artists

thought OF the Southern poet, the
common heritage of mankind. 1t is
not that we have had no mighty
