beauteous senorita and babbling
drunkard were the undoing of a
desperate gang of horse and cattle
thieves which for year has been
terrorizing the Mexican border.
The name Sinaco Terrones has
long been an effective bugaboo
used by Mexican rancher mothers
below the line in correcting
naughty children. a source of dread
and hatred for the ranchers and n

For Sinaco Torrenos and his

Then came the babbling drunk

The policeman arrested the
Mexican. The fellow let fall u
few maudlin words that disclosed
his identity as a member of the
rustler gang. He was "sweated"
and confessed that he had stolen
away from his fellows after a quar-
rel, but would not tell the location
of their hiding place. He mad
vertently let slip the name of the
Mexican senorita, however, and
the posse hurried to the little
house at the head of Mission val

valley, up the range to wild van
yon in the Cuyamacas, where he
joined his four comrades. Taken
by surprise. the four bandits rushed
with drawn knives. Sinaco and his
pals were overpowered after a des-
perate struggle and tied round and
round with lariats. No one was
killed.
The robbers were taken to the
San Diego Jail. Ysabel was broken
hearted. 1t was feared she would
attempt to smuggle in files or other
Jail breaking instruments, and she
was allowed to speak to Sinaco
only In the presence of the jailer.
The farewell was pathetic. The
girl wanted to be allowed to go to

forbade.

The Arm-Bome of Ann: or Mira
cLeS Plentiful NO0V

New York is all in a futter, and the excite
ment is spreading through ''the Provinces >
as New Workers call the Southern and West
ern States.
What is it all about? Why, an arm-bone
of a worthy woman, who departed this life
some nineteen hundred years ago, is said to
be in possession of certain church in New
York, and it is working miracles
What The bone?
Yes,-the BONE
[ know it because I see it in the newspapers.
Had my doubts till it got into the Atlanta pa
pers-then knew it was so.
The deceased lady was named Anne. The
church canonized her, or something long ago,
and she is now called St. Anne. What be-
came of her other bones, [ don't know, but
the arm-bone is in New York, sure, for it is
working miracles there
Old Mistress Brown of New York. was
blind, but now she sees; and she says that the
arm-bone of Anne did the business.
How came the bone of the Saint to single
out old Mrs. Brown, from among all the blind
people, for the precious boon of restored eye
sight?
Really couldn't tell you The priests who
manage the bone could easily explain, but we
couldn't expect them to let us into their pious
little devices, stratagems and tricks,-common
enough in the Dark Ages, but only recently
lrted up in this country.

al independence, was outrageously vilifed,
mlsrepresented and condemned
While the excitement in the circles of the
faithful was at its height, Bishop Kelly, of
Savannah, Ga, Illuminated a clerical defiance
OF the state. He not only endorsed raptu-
ously the Pope's attempts to infame French
Catholics to forclble resistance to the separa-
ton law, but he declared it to be the duty of
Catholics IN this country to make forcible re-
s1stance to state laws, when those laws in
frlnged upon the prerogative of the church.
In France, that doctrine is now being put
IN practice, Archbishop Andrien having VIC
lated the law by publicly melting the Cath
ollcs to defy the laws of the land, and having
been fined for the offense, declares that he will
not pay the fine, and that he will continue to
resist the law 'even unto bloodshed"
That brings up the question:
From what source of authority shall Cath
ollcs take the law,-from Papa and his satel-
htes, or from the constituted legislature of
the nation?
If such fanatics as Bishop Kelly and Arch
bishop Andrien are right, the arbiter of ma
tlonal laws and policies holds sway in Rome
From thence, Papa issues the final words, as
to the binding force of laws Therefore, all
Christian nations are subject to Rome, and
must look to the Vatican to find their ulti-
mate ruler.
So it was in the Dark Ages. So it will be
again, if the Pope and the Vatican politicians
can have their way.

Capricornus, the William goat, holds con-

Do YOu Call This Honest?

V. B. Cheshire, of Anderson, S. c., pub
fishes a semi-weekly paper called The Amder-
son IntetI9ge1ocer. The methods of Mr..
Cheshire are extraordinary.
In his issue of July -, 1909, he makes a
leading editorial out Of a clipping from the
first page of the JEFFERsoNIAN of July 9Th.
''Shall the Negro Run Our Trains?" was the
headline of an excellent editorial in the
Ph0en5w- G5rard Journal We used it as a
clipping, and gave due credit. Mr., Cheshire
took it, made 1t his leading editorial, and gave
nobody credit.
In the same issue of our paper, we had a
Watson editorial, under the captain, "a So
cialists Attack on the White Firemen'
Mr.. Cheshire took this editorial, used 1t as
his editorial, and gave no credit.
It is very unusual to place clippings from
other papers upon ones editorial page, and
when the editorial from the JEFFERsoNIAN, or
some other paper, appears as an editorial in
The anderson h1tozzigencer, without credit, it
is up to Mr. Cheshire to justify himself
The appearance of ONE editorial in that very
peculiar way would be bad enough but here
we have the out and out appropriation of two
editorials from other papers in the same is
sue of The anderson InteZzige9ocer.
And they don't appear in Mr.. Cheshire's
paper as clippings, at all.
They appear on has editorial page as has
editorials!
How about it, Mr.. Cheshire?
P Sin the August0 (Ga.) Herald of
July 10, the article "Shall the Negro Run
Our Trains?" is used as clipping, and credit
ed to The anderson Zntezzigencer!
Thus the editor of the Phoeni1- Girard
Journal is doubly wronged.

Government Money for City Bonds
GA correspondent asks:

A correspondent asks:
will you give us some good reason why the Gov
eminent should not issue money direct to counties
cities and towns having to sell the bonds to bank
trust company who get from the Government mon
ey to the face value?'
Say Roanoke issues $4,000 in bonds running 80
years at per cent, and sells them for $4,000 to
some company: dollar been added to the
amount in circulation? Now this company can take
these bonds to the United States Government and re-
ceive $4,000 for per cent If Roanoke could take
the bonds to the Treasury at Washington and get
$4,000 In Government notes at per cent interest
there would be added to the volume of money the sum
of $4,000, and the city would four per cent
'The premises laid down by our correspondent are
not correct When the city of Roanoke sells it's bonds
to the amount of fifty thousand dollars to bank or
trust company this of money is put into circua
ton just it would be if obtained from the Treasury
of the United States. This sum, locked UP in the
vaults of bank, is just dead to circulation as it
would be if locked up in the United States Treasury
and until equivalent is offered to withdraw it for
circulation, it will stay there
1.-The best that give why the Govern
ment should not issue money direct to counties cities
and towns is that the Government does buy bonds
and there many good why it should not do
When bank takes such bonds to the Treasury
Department. they merely hypothecated collateral
security and if mistake not, the banker does not
obtain full face value At any rate, should the Gov
eminent of the United States attempt to directly deal
in matters of finance with the counties, cities, and
towns, rather than through the national banks it
would lead to financial complications that sooner or
later would seriously involve the Governments finan-
cial status. Roanoke (Va.) E0ening Nems
The correspondent of the Roanoke Neoos in
quires, in substance, ''Why could not the Gov
eminent, dealing directly with the city, accept
it's bonds as collateral and lend the city
$4,000 900 per cent of the par value), in
stead of compelling the city to have recourse
to the banks which use the bonds as collateral,
obtain the $4,000 from the Government and
then lend it to the people at high rate Of
compound INTEREST,""
To man up a tree, it would seem that
Roanoke bonds are just as good collateral to
the Government when the city of Roanoke
offers them as when some banker offers them.
The Government does not let the banker have
the $4,000 on his own credit. The loan is
made on the strength Of the bonds. Why,
then, shouldn't the Government deal directly
with the city? S
