Northern Brutality.

New Orleans Times Democrat: What.
ever suffering or loss of life occurred at
Andersonville was the unavoidable result
of civil war, and caused in considerable
part by the action of Mr.. Lincoln and his
Cabinet. The South, unwilling to stir up
the bitter questions of the civil war, has
had little to say of that cruel order, into
which Mr.. Lincoln was persuaded, which
declared medicines scontraband of war;"
and shut out of the Confederacy quinine,
anesthetics of all kinds, and hundred
other needed medicines. It can be justified
only on the Sherman theory to make the
losses so heavy, the suffering SO great that
the enemy will sooner ask for peace. If
the order was intended to deplete the Con-
federate Army by depriving it of medicines
it had that effect. Thousands of soldiers
died in the field or at the hospitals whose
lives could have been saved if medicines
had been handy. But if the order killed
off nearly as many Of the Confederate
soldiers as did the Union guns, it had the
same effect on the prisoners at Anderson
vile and elsewhere. If the Confederate
troops in the field got small rations and no
medicine, the prisoners Jared no better !;
and, as far at least as the lack of medicine
is concerned, the responsibility for the
deaths at Andersonville from preventable
disease that could have been cured with
medicine must rest, not with Capt. Wirz,
but with those who prevented medicines
from reaching the prison camp-Mr. Lin
coin and his Cabinet.
Again, if the number of prisoners at
Andersonville grew so large that the Con-
federacy with its poorly supplied commits
sariat could not properly care for all of
them, some of the blame must rest on the
determination reached by Mr.. Lincoln and
Gen. Grant during the latter years of the
civil war to refuse an exchange of priso-
ners. Gen. Grant frankly assumed that
responsibility. 6 1t is hard on our men in
Southern prisons, !" he said, not to exchange
them, but it is humanity to those left in our
ranks to fight our battles. Every man re-
leased on parole, or otherwise, becomes an
active soldier against us at once, either
directly or indirectly. If we begin sys-
tenn OF exchange which liberates all priso-
ners taken, we will have to fight on until
the whole South is exterminated.' And
thus it was that tens Of thousands of Union
prisoners held at Andersonville were de-
tanned there for months and years, when
Mr.. Davis and Gen. Lee were doing all in
their power to exchange and release them.

Concerning Pardons.
Biloxi Heral.l

There has recently been great increase
in the number of pardons applied for in
Mississippi and our exalted Governor will
do we'll to go little slow before he opens
the doors of the penitentiary to those men.
Trouble enough the people of the State
have in getting twelve good men and true
to convict man when he is guilty without
having him pardoned out before his term
is half served. The man in Jail who wants
to get out and who believes there is a.
chance for pardon, will promise any
thing, assume any attitude no matter how
humble, to gain his ends. Every man
who wants pardon, has reformed, ac-
cording to his own allegations has become
model citizen. We don't believe in
turning them loose on the community when
jury after great expense and in spite
of hundred legal bubbles has done so
remarkable a thing as to find one of them
guilty and made it stick.

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Houston Chronicle: Let the child s first
lesson be to show kindness and the second
what you like.
Louisville Courier journal: Notwith-
standing the fact that thousands of war
veterans die every year the pension ex-
penditures go on increasing. In 1890 the
pension appropriation was not quite $780,
100000; ten years later, in 1900, it was a
little more than S142, 100000; while ten
years after that, in 1910, it is more than
$3.50, 10000
Sunflower Miss Tocsin: The tendency
in this country is to forget crime too read
lily. When a horrible murder is committed
we are aroused to the highest pitch of ex-
element and horror and are ready to go
the limit to bring the guilty to justice.
But after few months we forget, and, to
some extent, even condone the offense, or
lose interest in the case altogether. This
should not be. Too many criminals 60
unwhipped of justice because of this con-
dition of affairs.
Raymond (Miss.) Gazette: This pro-
miscuous manner in which criminals have
been pardoned out Of the penitentiary
during the past makes our statutes dead
letter and our courts farce. Why should
we spend millions of dollars every year
holding courts to bring obstreperous and
refractory persons to justice, then fail to
satisfy justice by Withholding or remitting
punishment? Only the fear of punish
ment-and oftentimes that fails-can ef-
feotually hold in check those Of criminal
tendencies.
Houston Chronicle: Of all nuisances
the human hog is the most exasperating.
His enormous conceit, shallowness, super
cilliousness, dogmatic and overbearing
attitude towards those over whom he may
have the authority Of place, or superiority
of strength marks him as beast in clothes.
When not brutal, his condescending civil
ity is often harder to bear than open insult.
The lowest order of this human hog makes
himself conspicuous by loud talking,
crowding and incivility to the weak in
street cars and other public places. His
conversation takes no heed of the religious
or political convictions Of his fellow man !;
this staggering bully does not know that
one mans liberty ends at the point where
that of his neighbor begins, and that
summed up. good manners are only and
always, consideration Of, and respect for,
the rights Of Others.

FACTS ABOUT THE FLY.

The common house-fly is a car
rler OF disease. Typhoid fever,
diarrhea, dysentery and tubercu-
losis are carried by flies.
Flies feed on food and also on
filth. They go fran the one to the
other. In this way they carry dis
ease germs to the table. One fly
may convey six million bacteria.
Flies breed in manure heaps,
outhouses, refuse, ash-pits and all
decomposing animal or vegetable
matter, and unclean places. Do
not allow decaying material of any
sort to accumulate on or near your
premises. Ii such exist, cover
with lime or kerosene oil, and re-
move as early as possible.
See that your sewerage system
is in good order.
Screen all food; cover food after
a meal; burn all scraps and refuse.
Screen all windows and doors.
Burn pyrethrum powder in the
house if flies should gain entrance.
If there is no filth there will be
no flies. Hdrper's Weekly.

The Lucy P. Holcomb was named for a
Young lady of that name who lived at
Marshall, Texas, and later married Gov.
Pickens, of South Carolina. For short
time the steamer was commanded by Enoch
Mason, formerly one Of the editors of the
Shreveport Democrat. The Texas was
commanded by Capt. Charles W. Stinde.
The Hope run all along the river pulling
up snags. She was Government "snag
boat and the only dry steamer on the
river. She had no bar, and it was difficult
to get crew.
During the low water season of 1855 a
boat was built at Shreveport flat-boat
with cabin on top, and boilers from a
saw-mill. She was named the ''Sodo.'
What it meant, we never knew. We went
on the "trial trip from the foot of Texas
Street to T. W. Jones' saw-mill, on Cross
Bayou. 1t took nearly all afternoon. AS
we were in hurry for supper we walked
back.
These are only a few of the steamers and
captains of those days thatwe can remem'
Der. And we remember those gentlemen
with the kindliest feelings. They were
whole souled, courteous and kind, even to
boys. Perhaps all of them have answered
the last hail and passed over the river to
eternity. With the coming of the railroads,
the steamers sought other rivers and also
have disappeared.
With the passing of the river trade the
railroads have a monopoly. Should it be
revived the plantations and villages on the
river, and not on the railroad line, will
be greatly benefited. But, perhaps, the
"river trade" will never be SO picturesque
and full of life as in those 'good old days" -
when "Cotton was King" hospitality was
Queen, and it was a pleasure to travel.

AN ANCIENT DEED.-There is on file as
an exhibit in an old lawsuit in Circuit Clerk
Goodman's office deed that is real curl
osity nowadays. 1t bears date of May 13,
1898, and is therefore III years old. 1t is
from "John Brown, one of the Senators
OF the United States from Kentucky, of the
one part, to David Bard, one of the Repre-
sentatives in Congress from the State Of
Pennsylvania, of the other part.' It is
written on genuine sheepskin, with quill
pen, and is splendid specimen of PEN
manship. The instrument, in considera-
ton of $1,000, conveys 1000 acres of land
in the district set apart for officers and
soldiers of the Virginia State Line,'' and
situated on Reins' Lick Creek, on a branch
of the West fork of Red River. The deed
was acknowledged before Hilary Baker,
then Mayor of Philadelphia Ekton( Ia. }

TO UTILIZE STRAW MATING.
Material is Well Adapted for Many
Purposes Besides That of
Covering Floors.

Straw mating may be put to many
uses beside the conventional one of
covering floors.
1t is particularly effective in sum-
mer cottage and piazza furnishings.
Table covers may be made OF the
fine, closely woven Japanese mating,
hemmed at each end.
AS a finish to the lower part OF a
wall mating which is not too heavy
serves quite as well as burlap and is a
change from the more usual covering.
Settee cushions may be made, or at
least covered. with the fine, pliable
kind of mating to match the strip on
the porch floor.
Wondow shades and awning to keep
the sun off, which are tied back or
rolled up when not in use, are also
practical made of mating.
They are hemmed top and bottom
and hung upon rings at the top, which
in turn are hung on little brass hooks
screwed into the window frame or
porch beam.
The new era., 1909-07-22
Medieval Modes.

The figure that harmonizes with the
medieval gowns is one that is rather
full busted, if anything, and round
embroidered bust ornaments are an
effective trimming on the long-waisted
bodice. Even muslin gowns are guilt
less of fluff and frothiness, and are
given elegant fiat masses of trimming
il: the way of stoles, hip girdles, bust
ornaments, etc. Coarse simple gold
embroidery in gold-colored wash silk
lavished on gown of soft white
cheesecloth, the design purely By
zantine, and thick gold cord outlin-
Ing panels and motifs. Some gold
fringe finishes the front and back
stoles. The gown is simply hem
stitched and lies over slip of soft
white China silk.-Vogue.
The new era., 1909-07-22
Fine Embroidery.

Now that sartorial success depends
so much on the mixing Of colors, the
experts in hand-embroideries are max
ing exact copies of the old trimmings
and tapestries of the past; and most
successful many of them are. A few
years ago we had somewhat forgotten
the art of making beautiful trim
mings, and cheap machine-made edg-
ings, known as passementeries, spoilt
any remaining faith we had in this
kind of adornment. But for the past
few seasons the leading influences
that control the world of dress have
given forth the edict that embroider-
les. if used at all, must be only the
best. Therefore in some cases where
economy has to be studied we must
use our embroideries very sparingly,
and it is easy enough to introduce
a handsome piece of embroidery on a
corsage that can be used with more
than one frOck.
The new era., 1909-07-22
Cushions Lend Distinction.

Every woman has been proud to
own one or more sofa and bed cush-
ions made from the handkerchief
linen and squares of filet lace Moth
ing gives more distinction to a bed
room couch or the bed itself than the
addition of one of these cushions.
These are now initiated in covers
for pincushions. If you are looking
for dainty present for another girl
you cannot go far wrong in choosing
one.
1t is about six inches long and three
wide and is made of the finest mate
rials. The squares of filet lace have
the classic designs on them. The
edg0s of the linen are finely hem
stitched. Tiny round pearl buttons
are used, which do not button through
the material, but fasten into tiny silk
loops. They are slipped over colored
silk Innings.

Mother Bird Drove Boy Away.

People on Main street. Dallastown,
Pa, witnessed an amusing sight the
other morning, when a curious small
boy who climbed into a maple tree for
q closer inspection of a nest of young
robins was put to flight by an angry
mother bird. Discovered by the old
bird after he had clambered into the
tree the youngster was savagely at
tackled. The bird pecked viciously at
his bare hands and face, causing him
to retreat to the ground, and then
driving him home.
