THE TWO vERDlcTs.

The verdict of the jury in the Lyons
case, which was concluded at Jesur
Saturday night following so closely
upon the heels of the one in The Coop
er case terminating the same day, is
certainly very good evidence of an
improved condition of affairs in the
two states. These two cases are sim
liar in some respects. While the Coop
ers We're men probably better off in
the worlds goods and occupying a
more prominent position in their COM
munity the essential facts are almost
identical. In each case father and
son sought out and assass.nated, the
object Of their hatred; in each case
the victim was not given the slightest
opportunity to defend themselves, and
were murdered cold blooded and de-
liberately,
Then again in each case the men
were Of sufficient prominence and Of
sufficient wealth to insure able de-
Tense and 10 work upon the basis that
prominence gives tc every man. And
these two juries, twenty four eoun-
trymen in separate states, have had
the manhood to bring in verdicts car
rying with them the penitenuary fer
the offenders. This indeed is the
dawning of a better day in both Geor-
gia and Tennessee. 1t does away with
the old sophistry anl with the old
makeshift that prominence and wealth
can give men carte blanche to com
nit murder in the south and escape
the punishment prescribed by the law.
In both of these cases the punishment
metea out ives justice indeed temper
ed with mercy. showing after all the
natural sympathies Of the human
heart
The punishment Of these four men
as prescribed by the jury and the
trial Judges is not severe and if they
would save time and additional odium
they would at once accept their YER
diets, which ought to have pleased
this section OF the country. AT any
rate the two verdicts coming 50 soon
together is an indication of better
condition; they ought tc SO long
way to stopping the crime of murder
and ii ought to stamp the average SOU
thern Jury as men of character and
manhood and integrity.

MORE EXPLANATIONS.


Two more Of the so-calIed boiling
democratic members Of congress who
refused to follow the lead Of Champ
Clark in congress on last Monday have
made explanations to their people.
These are Francis Burton Harrison, OF
New York, and E. T. Kehler. of Bos-
ton. These democratic members have
endeavored 70 show that the Fitzge9-
aid amendment for which they voted
was more in keeping with democratic
policy and democratic principle than
was the measure for which one hun
dred and forty-fye Of their colleagues
voted.
This to our mind is not the issue.
If democratic members of congress
ever hope TO obtain any recognition
in that body and if they ever hope TO
impress the country with their SINGER
ity and with their devotion to demo-
cratic principles, then to our mind
they ought to vote as unit upon
such proposition as was the one in
question. There are times when
statesmen even in greater bodies than
the lower house Of congress are com
PEELED to lose their identities for the
sake OF the party which places then'
in power, and this to our mind seems
to have been the case presented to
the country when the sixty-frst con-
gress assembled on March 18th. We
are slow to condemn those twenty
three democrats who have gained the
title of boilers. AS we have said be-
fore We think the expression harsh
one and should not be applied save
in actual cases where the crime Of
boiling is established. But as we sta
ted in these columns yesterday morn
ing the great mass Of democrats all
over the country viii probably feel
.hat some explanation is forthcoming
from the "sNddoo" members who tore
away from the democratic
in congress when an oppor
unity was presented to do away With
the Cannon machine in congress. We
are aware OF the fact that these six
Georgia democrats included in this
list may have the very best Of rea-
sons for their conduct, but to the ord.
nary democratic mind their attitude
and their conduct viii not appeal very
strongly
We noticed in one Sunday morning
paper an explanation from the Geor
gians. but we were not much impress
ed with the facts set forth therein
Too much was said in generality and
100 little in specific. In the meantime
the democrats OF Georgia perhaps hko
are waiting to hear some
thing more definite and something
more conclusive from their immediate
representatives in congress before ar-
irving at any definite conclusion e4

O'Clock and was struck by the very pale
color Of their lips.
A closer look disclosed powdered sugar.
and reasoning that powdered sugar al s
O'Clock in the morning could come from
pies and buns. he became suspicious.
His suspicious was confirmed when he
questioned the men and little later
he found some OF the purloined pies and
buns under steps near the pool room. he

BLACK-ROT
INJURIES GRAPES
Government Tells Growers
How TO Prevent the
Damage

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Aug. BIN the
eastern half OF the United States black
rot has proven serious drawback to
grape culture. Humidity is favorable 10
this disease More than twenty years
ago spraying was introduced as means
Of combating this and other fungous dis
eases Of vines and fruit treets and Bor-
deaux mixture has been the standard
fungicide from the first.
As, during recent years, a good deal OF
encouragement among commercial grape
growers has resulted from the spread OF
black-rot and their failure to control Il
satisfactorily the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture about three years
ago began a series of experiments to
demonstrate the best methods Of COM
batting this disease. These experiments
have been conducted IN Pennsylvania.
New Jersey. New York. and Michigan.
and have extended over three seasons.
The Department has just published a re-
port on these experiments CBui 1856, Bur
eau Of Plant Industry.
Several different fungicides were tried.
but none was found 10 be as satisfac-
tory as Bordeaux mixture. II was DEM
onstrated. however. that 1850 mix
ture a pounds of bluestone. pounds OF
lime. and 30 gallons of water) gives fully
as good results as stronger mixtures It
was found TO be unwise 20 use more lime
than absolutely necessary, as. when used
TO excess. IL tends TO hinder the action
of the "copper" sulphate. II was also
, found that ive sprayings will usually
produce as good results as a greater
number
Among other mixtures tried, that
known as the neutral copper acetate
solution promises to be very satisfactory
for the last application because of its
nonstaining effect.
On the whole. the experiments have
been quite successful. In 1907 where un-
sprayed grapes were a total loss. spray.
ing reduced the loss 10 2s per cent. Tn,
next season. when the rot was almost as
bad on unsprayed vineyards, on the sams
sprayed plats the loss was reduced tg
less than 1 per cent. The good effect ap-
pears TO be cumulative. The greatly in
creased spraying avtivity Of growers, es
pecially in Michigan. shows that thes'
demonstrations have produced a good ef
