The trial of the night riders at

suited III the conviction Of eight
men. 1t is saidlthat the death pen
atty is to be PRONOUNCED against six
of them, and that two will be sent
to the penitentlary for twenty years.
These parties killed Captain Ran
kin, prominent citizen of Tonnes
see, by lynchinghim several months
ago, and the trial has heen mat
ter of national interest for the past
two or three weeks. The killing
was very brutal and high handed,
and it is a matter of great corgrat-
ulatiou to the country that Tennes-
see has been able to convict the
guilty. Other conspirators and
participants, in the crime will have
to stand trial.

Revis,rr AGAIN.

Under The new law enacted ut
the last session of the General As
sembly it will be necessary for II
new registration If voters to be
made throughout the State the
first of January next. The law in
question is Act SO of 1908. The
purpose Of the law is intended to
assure the politicians of this State
that none other than duly qualified
Democrats or Republicans shall
participate in the primaries of the
respective parties. 1t is only an
other move by trained politicians
to make impossible independent
movements or correction OF the
many evils that have obtained un-
der our present very unsatlstacto-
ry primary. As the law now
stands if an individual enters n
primary and he is cheated out of
the nomination, no matter in what
manner, nj matter how open and
fragrant the violation of the law is,
he mnst keep his mouth shut and
be- good. Whatever the ruling una
I
chine tells him he must take, what
ever is done to him is we'll done,
and he can only complain, hut re-
dress is next TO impossible. Thib-

to the people. to find that our
schools have all been improved, in
length of terms and the grade of
teachers employed, while the pub
lie, finances have kept pace with

Feat With a Lash.

Fred Lindsay of Melbourne, who
served through the recent Boer war
with the First Victorian Bushmen, was
trained on cattle stations in New
South Wales and Queensland, and in
the search for some means of amuse.
ment In the loneliness of camp life out
there he turned to the 18-inch whip
with 24-inch lash, used in controlling
the more or less wild cattle. Among
the feats he performs are the ex.
tinguishing Of lighted candle by a
flick of the whip: the use of the lash
as lasso in order to trip up a man;
the disarming of person, revolver in
hand, and the cutting in half of a
cigarette while actually being smoked.
In each case the trick Is performed
from distance of twenty-five feet, and
the lash of the whip used is made from
sixteen strands of tanned kangaroo
hide.-London Daily Mail.
