COUNT Pardon Dead Man"
Clinton News-Dispatch.1


About the biggest fool thing that
we have heard Of since Cook and
Peary discovered the North Pole is,
that the next Legislature will be ask
ed to pass a special act relieving the
bondsmen of dead man because he,
the said dead man did not appear at
court. They even asked the Governor
to pardon the dead man, but the At
torney General held that this could
not be done as he was out of the
Jurisdiction Of the Governor-didn't
know where he'd gone. This is not
knotty Quextion at all, 1t is simply
fool question. Any justice of the
peace that's got sense enough to take
down his almanac and tell when the
moon will change ought to have more
sense than to hold that bondsmen
are liable when the poor fellow had
turned up his toes and couldn't be
present when called out, but IL court
had continued until after dark on
that same day and the dead defend
ant had appeared In court and stated
| to his honor that he was detained by
death the court would have disap.
peared and the defendant discharged
without bond. But Just because be
hadn't put In his appearance, some
little ten-cent lawyers are trying Il
raise legal point. Such rot makes

this country the administration of

cute a criminal when you have evi-

Western Carolina Enterprise.l
The Western North Carolina Times
is putting up splendid ght for local
self-government in Henderson Coun-
ty. That county is Republican by a
substantial majority. In order to
thwart the wishes of the majority a
Democratic Legislature has appoint
ed a sufficient number of partisan
magistrates to give the Henderson
County Democracy control. 1t then
gave these magistrates the right to
elect the country treasurer and the
tax collector.
The consequence Of such unfair
and unwise manipulation Is that the
tax payers and voters of Henderson
County do not control the expendi-
ture of more than IL per cent of the
public money. Since the beinnine
of such tactics Henderson has stead
lily increased her Republican major

Have Ignored the Good.

In his address in the Salt Lake
City Tabernacle Mr.. Taft said In

less relation to what follows, l am
going to give you the words from

sci upon my mind during the last ten
years with especial vigor because I
have come into contact with Oriental
peoples and with those descended
from the Latin races of Europe.
1--WE Anglo-Saxons are, we admit,
a great race. We have accomplished
wonders in hammering out against
odds that seemed dinsurmountable the
principle of civil liberty and popular
government and making them prac-
tical and showing to the world their
benefits. But in so doing, it seems
to me, we have ignored some things
that our fellows of southern climes

methods of everyday treatment be-
tween themselves and others. At
first that seems superficial to US, who
prefer mo- and yes and abrupt
methods and communication in the
shortest and curtest sentences, but
we have much to learn from people
of that kind of courtesy and polite
ness.
'The truth is, that mans life in
his family, with his wife, with his
children, with his mother, with his
neighbor, is not made up of grand
stand plays and all that sort of thing.
It is made up by series of little acts
and those little acts and those little
self-restraints are what go to make
up the mans character.
"And so I say that our friends OF
the Southern climes and our Oriental
friends have touched a point in phi
losophy, the philosophy Of life, that

introduce into our lives more cour-

| genuine desire to make everybody

which affect all and constitute nearly
all there is in life.

text which I would like to draw i:
| that we ought to ascribe to oul
neighbors, and to those with whom
we come in contact, as high mo
tives as We can. We ought to avoii

Reference to Political Questions.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 26.-
In the pulpit of the famous Mormon
Tabernacle in the city where four
years ago Theodore Roosevelt, then
President, preached a long sermon on
right living and the duties of good
citizenship, President Taft to-day fac
ed an audience which he said inspir-
ed him to try to follow in the foot
steps of his predecessor.
The Presidents sermon was an ap-
peal for amity between the people for
attributing the best rather than the
worst motives to the action of others
when possible to do so, and not to
harbor hatred or animosity.
GA soft answer turneth away
wrath, but grievous words stir up an
GER" was the text Mr.. Taft selected
from the book of Proverbs. The ser
mon was largely made up of rela-
tion Of stories to give emphasis to the
points.
From the Tabernacle the Presi-
dent was driven to review about
tweny thousand school children. At
one point along the line thousand
or more children had been arranged
in living flag, red, white and blue
caps and capes serving to outline the
national emblem.
Thence the President proceeded to
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, where he made a brief address
to men. Lastly the President attend
ed services especially arranged for
him at the Unitarian Church. After
this unusually busy Sunday morning
he left Salt Lake City at noon for
Ogden, where he enjoyed an 1S-mile
ride through Ogden Canon and made

As soon as the fire was under con-

scoped by the shock, but the caboose

The scene was a horrifying one.
By the light OF the flames which al

being caught between the walls OF
