Tennessee Vindicates.
Comments of Senator Car
mack's Paper on the Cooper
Trial Verdict.
Nashville Tennesseean.

Nashville Tennesseean.
Because of this verdict and the
ReplfOot Lake verdict. vindicating
the law of the land, Tennessee will
once again take its old proud place
among the States. T4nnesseeans
abroad willnot be compelled to hang
their heads in shame at the jeers and
sneers and SCOTS and ridicule heaped
upon their State because of it's law
l-ssness. Life will not be cheap in
Tennessee as it has been. Law en-
fOrcement will be easier in Tennessee
than it has been. Men whose hearts
are afire with hate for their fellow
man, whose beings are surcharged
with malice, aud whose minds are
fatally bent on mischief. though they
may even doubt there is a God or
despise His mandates, if there be one,
will yet hold some respect for law
they fear when they come to know
that neither ancestral Nh me- nOrpOlit-
iral pull nor Vaccinations of any
kind can shield them from an honest
verdict of an honest jury, any more
than is meted ont to common
rlass' of law-breakers of whatsoever
kind.

Support of Hcme Paper.
Merchants Urged to Back the
Local Advertising Medium
to the Limit.
Chelsea Mass Record.

Chelsea (Mass.l Record.
An appreciative view OF the home
newspaper il given in the Office Out
filter, of Chicago, from which we
make the following extract:
MANY a good town isn't worth q
cent because the local newspaper is neg
lected. Many good merchandising
center is dead berause the men in busi-
ness treat the editor of the newspaper as
an object of charity. This ia wrong. The
local paper is the greatest thing in the
community. 1t should he supported. 1t
should be read and patronized. The
merchants who think they are clever and
smarter when they slip one over on the
local paper make a big mistake. Every
dollar you take away from the local
newspaper in schemes and knocks hurts
the town. 1t hurts the merchants who
indulge in it.
Whatever else you merchants do pat
ronize your home paper. Don't tell me
that it has O small circulation. Don't
tell me that you reach ten times az many
people using circulars. Don't spring any
of those time worn gags on me at all.
Stop standing in your own light. Get
behind the local paper and push it for
all you are worth. | don't mean push
it to the wall. Push it up grade to po-
sition where it ought to be, and as sure
as you are alive you will push your own
business up with it to a point you never
dreamed of before.
when q man tells me that he reaches
more people and gets better results from
his circulars know that he is deceiving
himself and telling me what can prove
to be untrue. 4 newspaper in the com
munity is read by the people. They
learn to watch for it. and when they get
it every member of the family wants his
turn to see what it says. Ads. and all
are read II the merchants OF a cOmmu-
nifty will educate the people to look in
the newspaper for their announcements
the people will read the paper more and
greater will be the returns.
There is no alley so long but that
it has it's ash barrels, and there is no
knock SO powerful or subtle but that it
reacts. Do yourself favor and keep up
your end by supporting the local news
paper, and support it for all You are
worth"
1t can be added that whatever the
local papers do to help their city or
town is of benefit TO every business
man therein.

Crime North and South.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
To a very considerable degree time
has ameliorated the bitterness once
existing between North and South.
One OF the best proofs is the tone of
the press OF the country. To-day very
few Northern newspapers and maga-
zines find delight in picturing the bar
barism Of the South. On the race
question broader and more COM
prehensive view is taken.
Nor is the South any longer looked
upon as a section overridden with
lawlessness. Cowardly and base
crimes have been committed in the
North. The South deplores them.
Equally lamentable acts of violence
have occurred in the South. The
North hears of them with regret.
At length we have learned that as
reunited people it were a wise
policy to join hands in the eradica
ton Of evil wherever found Together
we may study the race problem with
profit. Together we may strive for
the suppression OF crime with mutual
benefit.
When the murder of Carmark was
perpetrated there were few Northern
papers-very few we are thankful to
say-that lapsed back into the old
'holier than thou" tone of deploring
the barbarity Of what they fancied to
be n crime-ridden section.
The New York World is not of this
class.
Commenting on the findings of the
jury in the Cooper-Sharp trial the
, World makes this observations:
! "New York could not convict Thaw
or Hains. but Tennessee has con-
victed Col. Cooper and his son. Robin,
for the murder of former Senator
Carmack, and the jury imposed a
sentence of twenty years imprison-
ment.
"Obviously the verdict of the jury
was compromise, in which full con-
sideration was given to the heat and
passion of a bitter political campaign
in determining the degree of guilt,
but the outcome of the case is dis
tinctlv creditable not only to Tennes-
see, but to the entire South. The
time has come when the North-and
New York in particular could profit
ably devote less time to deploring the
chpapness with which human life is
held in Southern States and more
time to protecting the lives of its
own citizens"
