THE SKINLESSGIRL WILL LIVE
Home Remedies Bring Back Health
After Doctors Called the
Case Homeless

Case Hopeless.
A Port Huron dispatch to The New
York Press says:
Given up by physicians as hopeless
after her remarkable case had been
pronounced incurable by several of
the best surgeons in this state, Miss
Grace Crane, daughter of Van E.
Crane, has almost completely recOv-
cred from strange skin ailment, and
was able to be out Saturday for the
first time in about one year.
Miss Crane was suffering from a
peculiar infection. One day she &C
cidentally dropped carbOlic acid on
her wrist. 1t burned her slightly,
but she gave the wound little at
tention, until in few days her skin
began to peel at the affected spot.
When the injury grew worse a physi-
clan was summoned. He could give
no relief Other doctors came, but
her skin continued to peel, until her
arm, breast, and face were raw
Then she was sent to other cities
for treatment. However, one physi-
clan after another gave up the case,
and finally Miss Crane was brought
home to die. The skin had peeled
from most of her body.
The girls father decided to take
charge of the case himself. He pre-
scribed home remedies, and attended
her day and night, with the result
she is fast regaining her normal
health, Friends of the young girl
volunteered to part with their skin
in hope of saving her lift, but Miss
Crane bravely refused their offers,
being willing to die, if necessary,
rather than to permit them to make
the sacrifices when there was such a
| forlorn hope of saving her.

We have brOadened the base of
popular contact until at last it
is evident that we must go back
to the very apex. The chief
magistrate of the state, with an
eye single to the integrity and
fitness of the proposed incum-
bent, must appoint the judges
and solicitors, and thus breathe
into them anew the spirit of
absolute independence which
would not fatter Neptune for
his trident nor Jupiter for the
power to thunder"
Good. Very Good! 1t was a mis-
take, in the first place, to make the
judges and solicitors elective by the
people, and, no doubt, half or more,
of the members Of the Legislature
who voted to SO change the system
knew it was a mistake at the time.
But somebody started it as a popu-
lar cry, reform movement, and the
people took it up and went wild over
it. 1t is so easy to lead the mass
of the people into almost any folly
that masQuerades under the name of
reform. Though, to their credit
it must be said they don't stay
fooled. Already the people see the
mistake of the present system, and,
no doubt, would welcome a change.
But let us not make the mistake
of supposing that we will remedy
the evil by placing the appointment
of judges and solicitors solely in the
hands of the governor. We have had
opportunity to observe the
evil of that system in the appoint
ment of city and county court judges
and solicitors. Here again politics
comes in. Indeed, such a system
merely means to build up a lot of
patronage for the states chief exec
Utiye; and we have never seen many
who would not use such patronage,
in an attempt, at least, to pave the
way to United States senatorship
or a second term.

Rear of the Grand Army.
John S. Mosby, who has been i'll
in Washington, but whose recovery
is now predicted, hold a unique place
in history. While he bears a strong
resemblance to the famous cavalry
raiders of revolutionary times and Of
the civil war the fact that instead
OF raiding into the enemy's country
he operated nearly always in the
northern neck of Virginia, within
sight of Washington and in the rear
of his enemies grand army, and often
in the midst of it, distinguishes him
from the merely dashing and cOur-
ageOus cavalry leaders.
He has recently finished a labor Of

Tending J. E. b. Stuart from the

SEEING THE MISTAKE OF
ANOTHER POPULAR "REFORM"
From the Augusta Chronicle.

Hark form the tomb "a dolefuI
sound. Here is the Atlanta Journal,
the very rams horn" of the re
formers proclaiming aloud that the
day is already at hand when we must
put an end to the election of judges
and solicitors by the people, and re-
turn to the old-time system of direct
appointment by the governor, 1t
says:
In short, our judicial system
has inevitably become literally
permeated with politics.
Perhaps it is true that in no
given instance is the judicial
view biased or prejudiced. This
subtle influence of dependence
upon politics may extend no
further than to secure easy post
pOnements of cases which should
be pushed with vigor to their
conclusion.
Such is the origin and
growth of this increasing ten
dency towards lawlessness.
What is the remedy?
I'VE must go back to the sys-
tenn of executive appointment of
our judges and solicitors.
THAT system itself is not per-
feet, but no one except dreamy
doctrinaires can expect perfec-
ton in any system of govern
ment. We have experimental
with three systems.
Election by the legislature
throws the judges in the very
maelstrom of politics-the clear
ing house of political favors-
and while decreasing the num-
Der of benefactors makes the
obligation more definite.
Election by the body of the
people places the judiciary, as
we have said, under obligations
to every man who can vote. x

Man Aged Eighty Is Taken From
the Earthquake Ruins.

A Rome dispatch says a man so
years old was discovered alive in the
ruins at Messina Sunday. His cries
were casually heard by a soldier,
who together with a number of his
comrades, worked for an hour to res
cue him. When ultimately he was
rescued and saw the ruin city he
wept, unmindful Of his almost mi
raculous escape. He had to be
forced to take nOurishment. He had
lived on vegetables and herbs he
found in the cellar where he was en-

THE DITCH ALWAYS IN DANGER.
The Panama Canal is Situated in
an Earthauake Zone.

an Eaftilquahc ZONE.
A thought not altogether comfort
ing to American taxpayers, and
which must give considerable con-
Germ to certain engineers, is that the
Panama canal is situated in an
earthquake zone. Quakes on the
isthmus have occurred from time
to time since it was first discovered.
1t is one of the most powerful argu-
ments of the advocates of a sea-leVel
canal that no dam can be construct
ed at Gatum that would be proof
against earthquakes. To put many
millions of dollars into a dam at
Gatum and then have it shaken to
pieces in a few seconds by a seis-
mic disturbance would be a catastro-
phe, and might involve not only great
loss of money but many human lives

A LITTLE DAMP IN SAVANNAH.
a Hundred and Ninety Nigh Beer
Dealers Have Paid the Tax There.

Ordinary McAlphin of Chatham
county has notified Controller Gener-
al w. A Wright that 1870 near beer
dealers of Savannah have paid the
state license tax. About $4,000 has
been collected there to be placed in
the convict farm.
The number of near beer saloons
so far recorded is not far below that
of regular whisky saloons in the pre-
prohibition days. Then there were
from 225 to $50 barrooms in Sayan-
nah, and about $4,000 was annually
collected there by the state in license
taxes.

In China You are WhaCked On the
Head II You Don't Mourn.
In Pekin, it seems, mourning for
the recently deceased emperor and
empress dowager is being enforced
with a club. If the citizens do not
show a proper degree of sorrow for
the death of the celebrities they are
whacked over the head or put in jail.
Several hundred persons have al
ready been arrested and jailed for
failing to mourn as they should, and
one of them has been condemned to
imprisonment for life. We can i'm
prove upon Tennyson by saying, bet
ter ten minutes of America than a

be sorry here unless we want to.

MULE STIRS JUDICIAL MUSE
DICK RUSSELL HANDS
DOWN A POETIC DECISION.
Case Was That of the State vs.. Nell
son Talley, Who Is Charged With
Mule Murder in Sumter County.

Case Was That of the State VS.. Nell
son Talley, Who Is Charged With
Mule Murder in Sumter County.
Even though he has spent many
hot day in the cotton bottoms pull
ing the bell cord across the spinal
column of ''hay burner" and even
though he confesses that on certain
occasions he has used considerable
force and some violence in attempt
ing to correct the hayward inclina-
tons of the Georgia mule, Judge
Dick Russell of the state court of
appeals still has a heart full of SYM
pathy for the animal and thinks it
is better to pity than censure him.
In decision sustaining the con-
Viction of Nelson Tally, negro who
was tried in the city court of Ameri-
Gus on the charge of so cruelty beat
ing mule that was loaned him that
it died, Judge Russell declares that
| the high civilization of this country
demands that the dumb animals shall
be protected against cruelty and suf-
fering, and then, overcome by the
pathos OF the subject, he wanders
into rhyme
The judges rhyme is in reply to
the verse with which the defendants
attorney expressed his indignation
that his client should have been con-
victed. The lawyer wrote:
NO matter how hot is the bottom
And the mule is beset by the flies,
Let the negro at work in the cotton
Never slap with the lines, if he's
wise;
Tho the lines may be tight on the
niger
And the contract enslaves, he's a
If he slaps and then thinks he is bet
ter
In the eyes of the law than a mule.
Then, stating that he replies in
perhaps no poorer poesy, but perhaps
better law, Judge Russell sings:
When the sun shines hot in the bot
And the mule is beset with the
flies,
The hand and the head which guides
the poor beast
Should be at once gentle and wise.
The man who trusts his beast to a.
| plow hand
For negroes and whites the law is
the same
! Is assured that the statutes and laws
of the land
Forbid that his brute shall be
manned.
So, where a mules in sole charge
of a driver
He Ono matter what color his skim
Must show if that mule should be in
jured
That the hurt was not due to his
sin.
True, the law holds the driver far
bigger
Than constituencies mule to be;
Yet, the law should avenge with all
vigor
All the drivers wanton acts of
cruelty.
Judge, you never plowed mean
mule" some one said to the writer
of judicial verse, cor you would
have decided different"
Yes, l have" answered Judge
Russell, "and l have some mules ne
groes have to plow, and 1 don't want
| them beaten to death"
