an increased feeling on the part of all the people in the South that this government is their government, and that it's officers in their states are their officers.
 This is not the utterance of time-serving politician, dreaming of the votes which his conciliation and demagogy may bring to him. It Is rather the patriotic declaration of a statesman, worthy to rank with lofty words of the great men of the early days. In the splendid spirits in which 1t was made is has been accepted by the leading papers of the South. The Charleston News and Courier Is no .mugwump in national politics. and when such a paper writes of Re- publican president that his address was the fairest, cleanest, best and evidently sincerest statement that has ever been made on the negro question by a Republican president, the eulo- gium is more than noteworthy. The News and Courier concludes with the following tribute, which is probably the most significant of the ultimate approachment of all section of this great country ever penned by Southern editor:
 We think a great deal of him. We have the utmost confidence in h.s courage and in his good intentions. He has had large experience in ad ministrative work. He has thor oughly trained legal mind. He knows the law and he knows the people. He has, besides. highly developed sense of humor Gentleman and scholar. lawyer and patriot, a man of convic- tions, and with the courage of his convictions, soft as silk but hard as nails. he combines many of the quail ities of true greatness. and we shall be much disappointed If he does not fill his office not only with honor to himself but with advantage to the country.

Aaron Collins, a negro, was found guilty by a jury in the Jefferson cir cult court yesterday of burglary and grand larceny, and his punishment fixed at three years in the state pen itentiary. The jury was out only ' few minutes when 1t returned with the verdict Collins was defended by Attorney s. J. Hunt. Prosecuting Attorney W. D. Jones represented the state.
 Collins was arrested some months ago and indicted on a charge of hav- ing burglarized the store of Dan Nix at Swan Lake. He stole quantity of meat from the store and it was after ward found hidden under vacant house nea rhis home. Collins de- nied the charge and as there were no witnesses to the theft. he relied entirely upon the state to prove him guilty, which Judge Jones succeeded in doing.
 Four negroes, who had previously plead guilty to charges, were sen- fenced to the penitentiary by Judge Grace. They were: Charles Lewis. three years for grand larceny; Asa Williams, fourteen years for murder; Jim Rob Roy, one year for assault to kill. and one other.

TAFT AND THE SOUTH.

It is gratifying to observe that the Southern press, almost without ex- ception, is responding heartily to President Taft's no less cordial ex- pressions of good will and earnest desire to advance the interests of that section. If MT. Taft's absolute sincerity and independence were not \so thoroughly established these ex- bressions of his might almost be con- sNered overtures. but if they are in te1ded as such at all. 1t is only in theNproadest sense of statesman-like interest in all portions of the nation of which he Is the official head.
 In his inaugural addres 1t is signi- Acant that the president devoted more space to the questions especial ly affecting the South than to those concerning any other specific divi- ton of the country. His attitude to- ward the fine ambition to break up the so-called solid South." not mere H in political sense, but by the razing of all barriers between the South and material nr0GreSa In it's relations to other sections, Is eptom- ized in the following admirable sen- tences:
 l look forward with hope to in- creasing the already good feeling be- tween the South and the other sec lions of the country. My chief pur- pose is not to effect a change in the electoral vote of the Southern states. That Is a secondary consideration What I look forward to Is an increase h the tolerance of political views of all kinds and the'r advocacy through Out the South. and the existe nee of q esspectable political epposltion in -ssesy ststs; even more hsn thss, tc
