to kill human being. This
slaughterer of human beings by
laying in wait for his victims, then
deliberately shooting them down
without warning and then cover
ing up his revolving crime with his
official cloak, it seems, fixed him
self last Friday evening and went
out for human game and he was
not long in finding an excuse IN
using his gun. He, however, did
not exactly kill his man, but he did
his best. In the meele Lee got bad
ly used and as a result he IS now
nursing a fractured jaw and other
bruises about his body. If there is
an unprincipled whelp in all the
world it is Lee Barbee and it is to
be regretted that, it was not his
neck instead Of his jaw that was
broken.

While the mob was at white heat
threats were made against the jap
anese Iaborers of the town, but the
dirty towards remembering the
Japanese government had men of
war ready to sail for the United
States and so they let their better
Judgment prevail and the Japs
were not disturbed

It has been very generally con-
ceded that a cat has nine lives
and from the number of times
Charles E. Coon hobs up after he
has been put to sleep the Coon,
from life standpoint, should be
classed along with the cat.

Cuba for Cubans is a slogan on
that island just now. If Uncle
Sam had not interferred it would
still be Cuba for Spanish grafters.
Some folk so soon forget from
whence they came.

THE PASSING THRoNG.

Before another issue of The Sc
attic Republican will have reached
its readers the United States gov
eminent will have undergone It's
quadrenial change in rulers and
the most strenuous president the
United States has ever had will
have retired to private life. Teddy
the terrible will have been sue
ceeded by Taft, the toiler. Presl-
dent Roosevelt is to truly retire to
private life and in order to COM
pletely do so he proposes to spend
the first year of his retirement IN
Africa hunting big game and
studying conditions in that coun-
try and the second year in visiting
other governments. Few men in
the world as much absorbed in
statecraft as has been President
Theodore Roosevelt for the past
eight years could so completely alb
solve themselves as he will do and
lose himself in the jungles OF
Africa where the daily paper and
its press dispatches can not be
seen. There is not the slightest
doubt but that President Roosevelt
nominated and elected William
Howard Taft as his successor, but.
he seems to think that completes
his mission and Mr.. Taft will have
to take care Of himself after he has
been inaugurated. In closing his
two terms as president Theodore
Roosevelt has won for himself the
plaudits Of the civilized world. Of
course the Rockefellers, Harrimans
and other government looters re-
buke him and their only reason for
doing so is because he stopped
them from actually appropriating
the United States government to
their private and personal use.
Taft After Solid South.
Already President-elect Taft has
made two selections for his cabinet
from the South, thus showing very
conclusively that, he proposes to
make greater inroads on the Solid
South, politically speaking, than
the mere eating Of all her "pos-
sum and taters up" Mr.. Taft
may find even another man from
the South for his cabinet and thus
break the record since the admin
stration of President Buchanan.
There is a disposition among the
leading men Of the North to break
down the section lines between the
North and the South, the results
Of the Great Civil War, but the
South is obdurate and seems in
ciined to cling to her idols, and as
an example, but few days ago
the damphools of Mississippi, Ok
lahoma and other states of the
South refused to honor Lincoln s

Uncle Sans Fleet Home.

The great nations of the world
have all seen Uncle Sans navy
and Judging from what the Amer
lean newspapers have to say about
it, all Of the nations were greatly
impressed with them, yea not only
impressed, but in many instances
were even overawed at the sight
of the great human destroyers.
After encircling the globe the men
Of war are all safe and sound again
in Hampton roads from whence
they started something over year
ago. In the course Of the trip these
men of war were called upon to
render some assistance to the
earthquake sufferers in Italy and
they did it so well that, the italian
government through its king and
queen personally thanked the off
GERS for the service rendered.
Aside from that nothing has been
gained or accomplished by this
long cruise. Nations who had
never seen the fighting contriv-
! ances of Uncle Sam are perhaps
willing to join with those who had
not only seen them, but likewise
felt them is now of a like opinion
that, Uncle Sam is a fighting little
cuss, but what does that prove or
gain for Uncle Sam as a civilized
gentleman?

accepted teepathy and claimed to have
written down the thoughts of living men

If the Fnglish-speaking public was sur

this far into the spiritualist camp, it was
startled to learn few months ago that
