with miscegenation have been made
public, and that some twenty others
have been returned, their publication
awaiting the service of warrants in
the hands of the sheriff. Naturally
there is objection in some quarters to
the publicity given this campaign,
and no doubt the members of the
grand jury are coming in for their
share of criticism because of the en-
ergy displayed in the investigation.
AS we see it, the grand jury de-
serves the thanks of the white South
for the courage and determination
with which it performed an unpleas-
ant duty-one of the most important,
by the way, devolving upon il. Mis-
cegenatiOn is a crime against both
races. It's practice menaces racial in
tegrity and dangerously complexities a

at the same time white men are per-
mitted to relax the color line at will
and to practice social equality on the
limited scale. federation of the evil
because of the standing of the Of
tenders or the inherent dislike of
scandal is both unWiSe and unsafe.
1t is sometimes fatuOusly argued
that vigorous campaign against the
offenSe brings discredit and unenvia-
bic notOriety upon the community in
which it is launched. On the con-
trary, the community that fearIessly
attacks this vicious abuse deserves
hearty congratulations. No one will
believe that Natchez, by reason of re-

Is concededly the gravest of abuses.
The TimeS-Democrat has before now
expressed the belief that the senti-
ment against miscegenation is stead
lily growing throughout the South.
Eventually the sheer force of public
opinion will compel the pTesentment
and punishment of offenders regard
less of their station in life or stand
ing in society. The time when this
menacing practice can be winked at
or eondoned by patrial conSealment
is rapidly passing.
Miscegenation is not a nice thing
to talk about, in open court or in The
columns of the public press. But
where gentle remedies fail, the en-
ployment of more drastic methods is
often necessary to the public good.
Before very long, we are encouraged
to believe, the splendid example set by
the Natchez grand jury will be fol-
lowed by similar bodies in many
communities where the evil exists |

the understanding is that if this kind
of an aFan cement cannot be made Mr..
Hartman has decided to extend his
road to the Florida city regardless
Of expense.
This is an item of news that is of
especial interest to Columbus. The
Central line from Columbus to Anda-
luSia is enc of the best that comes
TO this city. II penetrates into one of
the richest farming and timber sec
tons of Alabama, and is a splendid
business feeder for Columbus. The
schedules that are now in use are very
convenient, Aaying been arranged so
that one may come from Andalusia
TO Columbus and return the same day,
spending four hours in this city. This
is quite an inducement TO people Fesid-
ing in that section of Alabama, and
many of them take advantage of il.
The extension of the road to PEN
Sacoia would be of great benefit 10
the commercial interests of Columbus.
Ii would give this city another direct
line to deep water, and would do the
city a great deal of good. Columbus
would hail the extension of the road
to that point with a great deal of
pleasure.

seeing the criticism that this violation
OF the law has evoked, moved that
the sale be rescinded, and when Judge
Gary opposed the motion asked If the
transaction was not made merely fer
the purpose of sustaining the market,
and cited Mr. Roosevelt's statement.
Judge Gary said that Mr.. Roosevelt
was mistaken-that the URstel States
Steel Corporation had long desired
the control of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company
So the hypocrisy is stripped from
this transaction and the fact stands
that the law was violated with no
other motive than greed. More than
that, advantage was taken of the
panic to force the sale of a property
when stocks were at the bottom fig
ure. The stockholders of the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company were
sacrificed to the rapacity of the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation and Theo-
dore Roosevelt, then president of the
United States, took part in a Wall

thorizing a violation of the law and
