Congressman X. l.. Henry Of the
Waco district during an address de-
livered Monday before an audience
of at least 5000 people in his home
district, referring to Senator Bail
eys Hillsboro allusion concerning
confidence men," said: THE SEN
ator stated In the vicinity of Hills
Boro the other day that the great
er quantity of lumber you brought
into a certain limited territory the
higher the price would be, and that
when certain congressman contend
ed that the greater the supply of
lumber you had in limited terri
tory the cheaper the price of lum-
Der would be, such argument would
be suitable for the victims of the
confidence man. In 80 the senator
preached throughout Texas that
he doctrine of free silver was cor
rect because ii would increase the
Quantity of money and lower the
standard of value, thereby making
money cheaper and easier to get by
the people, 1t seems that the sena-
tor repudiates his free silver doe
trines of 90 in about the same ra-
to with which he handles the Den
.ve1 platform in 1909. If some sem
ators don't look out the confidence
inan will get them" AS before stat
ed, you can't fool all of the people
all of the time"

April seems to be a favorite month
for discovering North Poles. DR..
Cook says he found one April 81,
1908, Lieutenant Peary announces
the discovery of another April g.,
this year, and there are several 9TH
er explorers yet to hear from. We
are finding in our disposition, so far
as 1t applies to these discoveries,
more and more the condition of the
man from Missouri, but as we have
not lost any North Pole and as yet
have not been advised of Polar in
fluence on the tariff question as a
democratic issue or the price of
cotton and newspaper we do
not feel any Inclination to have our
doubts removed by being shown"
At any rate, both OF these discover
ers are Americans and that is
point in their favor whether they
are romancing or reporting real
facts. In the meantime, what is the
city council going TO do with the

Church Doors Locked.

AS sequel to the extraordinary
church and political feud which
has aroused Havre de Grace for
several months, St. Johns Protes-
tant Episcopal Church was closed
on Easter Sunday, by order OF
Bishop Paret. The rector, Rev. j.
M. Oakford, has resigned, and
preached on Easter day atSt. James
Episcopal Church. Many members
of st. Johns followed him there
and heard him preach.
The trouble began last fall, when
DR.. Oakford objected to the town
justice of the peace holding court
opposite the church on Sunday
mornings at the hour of the morn
ing church services. He requested
the magistrate to set an earlier OF
later hour for holding his court.
This the Justice did for awhile.
Later he resumed his sittings at the
Objectionable hours. DIR. Oakford
appealed to Governor Crothers for
relief and politicians took sides in
the fight. The vestrymen, some
of whom are offceholders, are
divided, but a majority oppose DR..

SPEEDY VENGEANCE.
Negro Attempts To Assault Miss
Mary Steel Ewing And Is
Quickly LYnChed.


An Associated press~dispatch in
Mondays papers gives an account
of an attempted assault by a negro
on Miss Mary Steel Ewing, near
Arcadia, Fla, and the prompt
lynching of the fiend.
Miss Ewing who owns an orange
grove five miles from Arcadia was
driving out to it last Saturday and
when about two miles from town
John Smith, a negro, sprang into
the buggy and dragged her into
the bushes along the road. The
young lady begged and fought the
negro, offering him $100 in cash if
he would accompany her home.
Miss Ewing's screams attracted
Will Knowles and his brother, who
rushed to her assistance, and the
negro beat a hasty retreat. After
taking Miss Ewing to her home the
men rushed to the city and spread
the news, and bloodhounds, follow.
ed by a posse of 800 men, were
soon on the blacks trail. The
negro was found at a turpentine
camp and taken before Miss Ewing,
who positively identified him.
Sheriff Freeman and his deputies
succeeded in placing Smith in jail,
but afraid of an attack, attempted
to spirit him out of Arcadia. They
were met by an automobile party,
held up and forced to give up their
prisoner.
The negro, seeing that he was
doomed to death, pleaded for
mercy, but there was none in the
hearts of the crowd, who carried
him to the edge of the city, where
they strung him up to a tree and
left his body hanging.
Miss Ewing is a native of Cecil
county, being the daughter of the
late Ambrose Ewing who resided
near West Nottingham. For sew.
eral years past she has spent a
portion of the summer here with
relatives and friends and her wide
circle of friends in this community
are thankful her screams summoned
timely assistance in her hour of
need, and the condemnation of
lynching is suspended when the at
tempted assault is made on an ac
quaintance.
