IN nice African brine, were IN New York
and that they should reach this city
within the next five or six days.

on the brow of a hill overlooking Bry-

field pieces, a fire that sent the Blue

were in too heavy force. however, to

capture, Colonel Simms ordered three
pieces TO cover the Blue front while the
District infantrymen withdrew

NIGHT RIDERS GET NEW TRIAL,

Foot Lake, October 19 I9:--, Wer: re-
Aversed by the State supreme court
IT oday and were remanded for new
pials.
|# The six men who were under the
cath sentence are Garrett johnson,
1leged leader Of the night riders or
anization in Obin county; Arthur
eloar, Fred Pinion, Sam Applewhite,
lid Burton and Roy Ransom. The
# ther two, Bud Morris and Bob Huff
enan, were convicted of murder in the
second degree.
The opinion in the case was deliv-
Rered by Special Justice Henry A.
#Craft, Of Memphis, appointed in the
Fsfead Of Justice NJ. N. Neil.
In reversing the case, he assigned
two principal reasons. The first was
that the grand jury, which found the
&ndictments against the night riders
was not selected in proper manner.
The grand jury was selected out OF a
kpanel named by Judge j. E. Jones,
the trial Judge, whereas the law pro-
vides the panel must be chosen by at
least three members Of the county
court. The second error on which the
reversal was based is that the State
did not allow the defendants sut1l-
cient number Of challenges. The eight
we're tried on an Indictment, and the
trial court upheld the States conten-
ton that the eight defendants we're
only entitled to the legal number OF
challenges, tventy-four, which would
apply if one man was on trial.
When Justice Craft concluded his
opinion a storm Of applause broke
out in the court room, but was quick
ly stopped by the marshal and MS
deputies. The prisoners will be taken
back to Union City, and an effort Will
be made to secure their release on bail
pending a second trial Of their cases.
Union City, Tenn, July 3.-Tnose
most active in the prosecution Of the
alleged night riders, Of Reel Foot
Lake, consider the situation now SUCH
as may again assume serious phase.
That it will be difficult to secure a
Jury to again hear the cases is con-
eeded, and as yet no decision has been
reached by the representatives OF the
State as to their future plans. An
immediate trial Of other pending cas-
es of similar nature, however, IS not
looked for.

good newspaper to the well being of
any city is a subject SO old that TO
enlarge on it would be TO convey no
new idea. But no better illustration
Of the fact could be gained from any
other source.
In these ten busy years The Journal
did business of more than 100000;
il increased its circulation from 600
daily in 1888 to 5.SSS in 1908. It
added to the tangible wealth Of the
city, outside the Unreasonable bene-
fits il conferred, more than $4,000
Its payroll the first year was about
$4.100. Last year it was more than
$4,000, and in the ten years the pay
rolls aggregated 100000.
In the same decade the assessed
values of Pensacola increased from
S5,963,592 to S13.440.947. It's exports
increased from $S,211,4 29 to $4,000,
600. It's postofice receipts grew from
$20.593 to mGCe than three times as
much It's wholesale trade increased
from three and half millions to four

grew from 1900 to 10000.

The announcement that the Illinois
Central railroad, which has purchased
the Central of Georgia railway sys-
TEN, has reached a traffic agreement
with the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, whereby the former may get
into Pensacola, means, if it is true,
that Columbus will soon be sending
trains direct from this city TO the
gulf port, and that will mean a good
deal for Columbus. g.
The Mobile and Girard branch OF
the Central of Georgia already runs
to Andalusia, Ala, which is seventy
miles from Pensacola, and the extern
sion Of the run to Pensacola under
the arrangement stated, would be a
good thing for both cities.
The Mobile and Girard railroad is
one of the best lines Of the Central
OF Georgia. It brings as much or
more business TO Columbus than any
other road coming to this city. 1t
goes into one of the richest and most
prosperous sections Of Alabama, and
having convenient schedules. brings
a great volume Of business to this
city. It's extension to Pensacola, put
ting Columbus in direct touch with
the gulf, will naturally be OF great
benefit to this city.
While the TumoT has not been con-
firmed officially, there is reason to be-
lieve that it is true, and 1t is to be
hoped that it is.

Destroy Illiteracy,
Preserve the State.

The future of our state" declares
Governor Hoke Smith in his final
message to the legislature of Georgia,
requires that there shall be no Hit
eracy among our white children" A
sweeping statement, but none the less
absolutely true. The great renuire-
ment OF every southern state-of
every state-is that iIliteracy shall
be altogether abolished among the
ruling class who, by this means alone,
can be made truly fit to rule.
Governor Smith explains that in his
declaration he means mo unkindness
to the negro child by this discrimina-
ton" and he makes it clear that so
far as his understanding Of the stu
alton and opinion Of the manner of
meeting it are concerned he recos-
nizes that two races of different color
and calibre cannot live together on a
footing Of social equality and that
therefore, it is folly to educate the
lower race to a degree that wouId
awaken ambitions never to be real
lied and unfit it for the place it is
bound to occupy in the body polite.
But apart from any argument with
regard to this stand OF Georgia's re-
firing governor whose conspicuous in
tellectuality and fealty to his state
can be disputed by no one, let us
heartily applaud the sentiment first
quoted. Let us apply it to Florida as
well as to Georgia. The future of
the state requires that there shall be

CONNECT ANDALUSIA
WITH PENSACOLA.
%%%~%~%@~ ~0AA =
Andalusia (AIa.) Star.

Andalusia and Pensacola ought to
be connected by an automobile line
If the business men Of Pensacola
would interest themselves in an auto
mobile line or q throuSh-Car service
on the L. & n. road they would help
their town materially. The present
schedules provide two changes one
way and an aIl-day ride. Going by
way of FloTala an all-night stop at
FIoraIa With present train schedules,
it is a trip that is dreaded and con-
demned by everyone compelled to
make II. The Pensacola business
men should get together and induce
the L. & n. road to put on a through
train from GeOTgiana to Pensacola via
ADdaIusia, Opp, FIorala and Crest
view, arriving at the latter town in
time to connect with the Pensacola
train. Returning, the train should
leave Crestview upon the arrival Of
the Pensacola train, about 1880 o'clock
in the evening. This would provide
present accommodations for FIOrala,
Opp, AndaIusia, River Falls, Red
Level, and GeOrgiana, to say nothing
about the new trade that would be
attracted to Pensacola. The Star
learns that the "FlOTala special was
abandoned because it was UnpFofita-
BILE If the "FlOTala special had been
extended to include Opp and Anda-
lusia it would have become one Of
the most profitable trains on any Of
the L. & y. branches. Pensacola
business men are sleeping on their
rights when they fail to go after the
trade of this territory. If the l. &
n. officials would provide the service
mentioned it would Immediately be-
come profitable. Pensacola and An
dalusia should be connected in some
more satisfactory manner than now
arranged. If the L. & n. road ever
gets a competitor in the Pensacola
field some Andalusia people are going
to become big boosters for the COM
petitiYe line.
