A Washington woman followed a
Washington man to Selma, Ala, and
gave him an unmerciful horsewhip-
ping, because, as she alleged, he had
told lie. In December. 1864, wom-
an who had been prominent in Rich

the Confederate congress on the floor
OF the representatives chamber while
the house was in session. The same
congressman after the war became a

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1910.

The year now drawing to a close is
one of the most eventful in history,
because of a worldwide movement to
secure larger measure of political
and religious liberty for all the peo.
pies of the earth. Nations that have
slumbered for centuries are awaken
ing and breaking the bonds of super
stition with which their spiritual and
temporal rulers have so long and so
successfully shackled them. The teem-
ing millions of China, India, Persia,
Turkey and many lesser nations, held
down for ages by despotic religious
and political systems, are striving for
better things. in the more eniight-
ened nations The people are discard
ing effete institutions and outworn
customs which serve only to hinder
progress. They are demanding of their
public servants higher degree of
efficiency and, better still, higher
standard of morality. It is the ex-
