there alone. That evening a white male
prisoner was removed from the upper
floor of the Jail. leaving only Johnson
and a white woman on that floor. The
court pointed out that this same man
had been removed in the same way at the
time of the first attempt to lynch john
son, which had been frustrated by the
removal Of the negro
Shipp lived only a few blocks from the
jan and when he was notified by the
trial Judge and the prosecuting attorney
that a mob was at the Jail, went there
alone. Although for an hour, in the
midst of, or near the mob, the court held
he did not seek to obtain information so
that he could identify any of its mem-
bers.
The Ship Interview.
The court in finding Shipp guilty COM
mented on a published interview alleged
to have been had with Shipp: 1.-The peo-
pie of Hamilton county were willing to
let the law take it's course until 1t be-
came known that the case would not
probably be disposed of for four or five
years by the supreme court of the United
States" it quoted Shipp as saying: But
the people would not subr1it to this, and
/ do not wonder at it,
Chief Justice Fuller in pyonouncing
Shipp guilty said that this reference to
people was significant "for he was a
candidate for reelection and had been
told that his saving the prisoner from
the first attempt to mob him would cost
him his place, and he had answered that
he wished the mob had got him before
he did
The court held that Gibson must have
believed a mob would attack the jail the
night Johnson was lynched. but although
he was in charge of the jail more than
two hours before its arrival, he made no
effort to summon assistance to repel the
attack The testimony of Mrs. Baker, a
white prisoner, to the effect that Gibson
told her before the mob arrived that II
was coming, and for her to go to her
cell was referred to.
Williams and Nolan participated in the
lynching, the court held upon the strength
of direct testimony to that effect. State
ments made by Padgett and Mayes were
held as evidence of their guilt.

liquor outlaws of Alabama.
The people of Alabama will resent
this insult to their highest court by a
earpetbagger- gitator who has stolen
the livery of heaven to serve the devil
of personal gain. A man who failed in
the vaudeville business, but found a
richer field for his craftiness and talent
as a political parson. A vote against
the amendment is a vote against this
political parasite!
The saloon is not an issue in this
electionl Temperance is not an issue
in this contest The question Is: Shall
the people of Alabama permit Conner
cratic, or any other legislature, to pass
laws which will invade the present
"Bin of Rights" which protects the
homes of the people from unlawful
search?

Is constitutional prohibition good fbr

THE DEBTS WE OWE.

The attitude man maintains to-
wards his financial liabilities as
sure indication of his charactr, per-
tinently says an exchange. If he is
worried and anxious about how and
when he can meet his bills, it is
safe to set him down as one who
will make strenuous efforts and per-
sonal sacrifices to cancel obligations,
financial or other wise. If he is COM
placently Indifferent to the rights of
his creditors, and unmindful of their
convenience or inconvenience, you
may set down in the doubtful, long
pay column and avoid him as the lep-
sy,if you desire peace Of mind from
business standpoint.
If a man Is cheerful and jolly over
his debts, and impudent to his un-
fortunate creditors, place him in the
column of irresponsibIes, for his con-
science has been entombed with his
honor and nothing short of miracle
will resurrect it.
Financial obligations, however, are
not theonly problems of Indebtedness
to puzzle humanity. Our ancestors
who struggled and fought for the
blessings we now enjoy, as we'll as
posterity, ; have each a due bill
against us, which we meet and set
tie according to our attitude toward
the debts we owe We owe to our
forefathers the benefit we enjoy of
a high state of civilization and ad
vantages, educational, commercial
and industrial, which they never ens
joy, but which they strove and strug-
gled. These heroes of the past have
passed into the great beyond, where
due bills are forever cancelled, but
what we owe them is due to poster
ity with compound interest.
If you see imperfections in the ad
of our laws, rest assur-
ed that someone is Indifferent to this
hereditary debt or what Is worse,
has repudiated it altogether. No one
bears this burden alone, SO you and
| are justly responsible for it's pay
ment in good sound coin of model
as our friends and neigh
bors. Too often we are willing to let
our neighbors meet these debts, and
are contented to pay our share in
chips and whetstones or ignore them
entirely.
If you really desire to be honest in
every sense Of the word give your
best efforts to not only living a
blameless life yourself, but to lending
a helpful hand to weaker brothers
and the rising generation, and thus
In a measure cancel your debt to hu.
manity.
