The Technically Menace.
Charlotte News.

narlOtte News.
Criminal annals of Tennessee fail
to record a more outrageous, brutal
and coward v crime than the murder
of Capt Rankin in the Reelfoot Lake
section by a band of nocturnal ma
rauders notOriously known as Night
Riders Capt. Rankin was an hon
ored Civil War veteran. He was
lawyer of ability and broad note,
and his visit to Reelfoot was in pur-
suance of his duties as an attorney.
Details of the terrible assassination
are still fresh in the minds of every
one.
This murder was only the culmina-
ton of a series of the blacklist crimes
ever committed in that common
wealth. For a space it seemed that
the law existed only in name. Crime
stalked abroad unmolested.
The public became aroused. A
storm of protest went up. Officials
decreed, ''Thus far and no farther"
An investigation was instituted by
the Governor Several men were ar
raigned on the charge of numbering
Capt. Rankin, and of the commission
OF other crimes.
A fair trial was given the accused
parties, and a jury of their peers de-
clared them guilty of murder in the
first degree. The trial Judge, after
hearing the testimony evidently
agreed with the iury's verdict, for he
font ly j ,>ocrn1 80 -
guilty night riders were sentenced to
hang; two were given life terms in
the State penitentiary. This prompt
administration of justice had it's
good effects. There was u cessation
of the criminal rampage The law
| once more assumed it's supremacy.
And now comes the Supreme Court
with decision setting aside the &C
| ton of the Governor, setting aside
the mandate of Jury and trial Judge,
| and granting Il new trial to the
accused, on the puny ground that
there was some slight irregularity in
the method OF selecting the jury.
Thus, by the interference of a tech
nicality, the course of justice is block
ed, and eight pronounced murderers
are to be granted a new hearing.
Before there was law there was
justice. Law is merely the written
expression of that spirit of Justice
which has ever been recognized. BY
this decision, the parent spirit is set
at naught by puny defect in its writ
ten expression.
SO much for the power of the tech
nlcality. Again Justice loses.

D.A.Tompkins as Minister to China
Atlanta Constitution

Atlanta Constitution.
Prominent Southern business men
familiar with trade conditions in
China and the Orient generally, and
the OvershadOWing role this great
territory is to play in the future com
mercial welfare of the United States,
are putting the name of ID. A. Temp
kins, of Charlotte, \. g., forward as
the most logical selection President
Taft could make in his search for an
American minister to Pekin.
What America needs now in China
and the Orient is not q politician, so
much as a business man. Mr.. Temp
kins answers that definition, partic-
ularly as it applies to the peculiar
conditions in China.
Admittedly, the dominant CONNER
cial development in the Far East IS
to be along the line OF textile indus
tries. There will be subsidiary issues,
but the controlling trade battles OF
the next decades will be fought and
won in the commodities of winch the
South now has IL monopoly in the
crude sense, and an approaching con-
troll in the matter of finished goods.
More than any other Southerner or
American, Mr.. Tompkins is identified
with the marvellous development OF
the textile industries in America. He
knows the business i'll each one OF its
intricate phases. manufacturing and
marketing. For clear Judgment and
prophetic instinct in affairs of i'm
portance and magnitude, he has no
superior. He is as familiar with trade
conditions in the great producing
centers of New England as the more
embryonic field of the Southern States
His designation rs minister to
China would also harmonic ideally
with President Taft's policy of max
ing practical ability rather than
political strength or efficiency or mere
party allegiance the test for office
holding in high places.
The appointment would not only
be extremely popularin the Southern
States, but what is of greater i'm
portance, it would provide the coun-
try with Il pre-eminently capable rep
resentative i'll China, at a time when
the future international supremacy
of this nation i'll that part of the
world hangs more or less in the bal

Criticism Justifiable and Will not
be Retracted.
Statesville Landmark

Mr.. {. W. Hunt, OF Charlotte, a
former newspaper man, is very much
afraid the criticism of the courts as
a result of the Biggers case will work
damage. Mr. Hunt closes a column
article nthe Charlotte Observer with
this statement:
The idea of newspapers. teachers
and preachers TRADING against the
only safety, the courts, this land hasl
You ought to apologize to your
readers and hearers.
The Landmark has great respect
for Mr.. Hunt. but it is firmly of the
opinion that the critics in this case
will refuse to apologize. Not only
that. but they will continue, in in
creasing numbers and with increas-
ing force. to denounce travesties on
justice until there is change. The
defeat OF Justice in such cases as that
OF Biggers and many others has re-
suited in a realization of the fact that
the courts are no longer safety to
the people. 1t is to bring about a
change, to remedy an evil that all
thinking people admit exists, that
criticism is made will continue to be
made.

A failing tiny nerve-no larger than the
finest silken thread-takes from the Heart its
impulse. its power, its regularity. The
Stomach also has its hidden, or inside nerves
1t was DR.. Shoop who first told us it was
wrong to drug a weak failing Stomach,
Heart or Kidneys. His prescription-Dr
Shops Restorative-is directed straight for
the cause of these ailments-these weak and
faltering inside nerves. This, no doubt
clearly explains why the Restorative has OF
late grown SO rapidly in popularity Drug

CRIMINAL COURT.
Washington Park Granted = Barns-
bOrO held under adyisement.

Thursday last, and a portion of FRI
day was devoted to hearing testimony
in the, renoDstrances against the
above named applications for license.
In the Washington Park case David
w. Garrigues was the prosecutor with
Ernest Rediield as counsel while D..
o. Watkins, Esq, represented the appli
can't
A large number OF children were
called in an endeavor to prove that
liquors were sold in their presence,
but many of them evidently had not
noted the liquor feature at the. Park,
being so occupied with the /, usic and
amusements; others saw walters go
mig too and fro, but did note what they
were carrying. In granting the Ii
cense Judge Starr ruled that the Sec
tion of the Bishops law preventing
children from lounging around license
places was not intended to apply to
places under the Park act, and the
testimony did not disclose that the
proprietor of Washington Park al
lowed any particular boy or girl to
lounge around to constitute a mis-
demeanor. The Park act does not
contemplate that the proprietor must
prohibit children coming into the
park. Whether or not it is good in
morals to allow children in licensed
par ks is with the Legislature. He
then granted the application for four
bars, fixing the fee at $500 each, an
increase of $3.50 each, or $500 in all
The application of Mr.. Wilson for a
license at Barnsboro brought many
people from that section, who opposed
the application This case was before
the court on the afternoon of Thurs
day and Friday, and Judge Starr held
the case under advisement for one
week. A clause in the lease from the
owner to the lessee, showing the rent
al to be on per centage basis, is a
feature of the case made much of by
the remonstrants, showing only par
tial control by the applicant.

Cows Condemned and Killed.

DR.. Gray, of Newton, has been ex-
amining the mich COWS in upper
Warren and last week condemned
and had killed eight cows in the dairy
of J. Clark Lanterman, three for John
A. Messler and one for Jacob A.
Smith, all of Frelinhuyson township.
A postmortem proved the correstness
of DR.. Gray's diagnosis, all being
afflicted with tuberculosis. Franklin
Dye, representing the State Board of
Agriculture, allowed each of the own
ers fair valuation for the cows des-
troyed. The State pays three
fourths of the agreed value of the
cows destroyed.
All the dairies in upper Warren,
sending milk to creameries, are be-
ing subjected to a thorough examin-
alton.
