GRAzED
STOMACH OF A
FLEEING MAN
DEPUTY SHERIFF NICHOLS, cHAS.
ING MUcH-WANTED NEGRO,
USED HIS REVOLVER WITH
RATHER UNCOMFORTABLE EFF.
Feet FOR THE DARKEY.

Several shots in rapid succession in
the vicinity of the union depot at
11:20 o'clock yesterday morning,
created much excitement for the time
being. Deputy Sheriff Nichols, catch
ing sight of Edgar Williams, a negro
who is alleged 70 have tried to kill
Deputy Henderson at Muscogee some
days ago, and started to arrest him
The deputy held warrant for him.
Williams saw Nichols coming and
started to run. The deputy gave
chase, and on Belmont street near
Tarragona street, one shot was fired
The bullet graZed the darkeys stom-
ach, tearing away the waistband of
his overalls. Another and a third shot
were fired before the negro was final
ly captured. When caught, he was
found to have opened a knife in his
rapid movements to get out of the
way of the officer and as he was
pronounced a rather dangerous black
man, the officer believed that he
would have used it in his own de-
tense.
Williams was locked up at the
county jail. There will be four and
possible seven charges filed against
him. He was last night formally
charged with carrying concealed
weapons.

AS a matter of fact, he says, there

field, were at all times free from

Pig Iron Production

Although there was a net loss ol eight active furnaces in October, and a daily production that fell to 67,- 335 tons, the lowest daily rate since July. 1909. yet the production of this district was handsomely increased. The production of coke pig iron in this district was increased In October to 16o.o77 tons as compared with 14s,755 tons in September.
 The district is now producing more pig iron than New York and 1t has regained fourth place in the lists It Is outranked by Pittsburg, Mahoning Val ley and Chicago only. The 23 stacks in blast in this district were turning out on November pig iron at the rate of 5274 tons daily. The production of this district this year bids fair to ex- ceed 1,S00,0O0 tons, a very handsome aggregate in a year of light demand and low prices

Mob Law Disturbs Two Repuhlics

The Mexican incident will blow over without impairing the good relations that have long existed between the United States and Mexico. The burning of Rod riguez at Rock Springs, Tex, was a de- plorable event. He was killed by a mob because he had murdered an American woman because she had spoken mean, to him. Rodriguez was farm laborer on the farm of the woman he had shot down. The mob in Texas aroused similar mobs in Mexican cities, and for a while it was all the Mexican government could do to keep down mob demonstrations
 The mob action at Rock Springs was unexcusable, whether Rodriguez was a native of New Mexico or Old Mexico. He was a Mexican at any rate. He should not have been burned at stake or harmed in any manner by a mob, no matter where he was born or what his national Stv was. and it is to be hoped this par ticular mob will be hunted down and

X New lsSue-"Gullt Is Personal"

The election of Woodrow Wilson as governor of New Jersey by the remark able majority of 5000 is tribute to a strong personality and it is also an en- dowment of a great issue presented by him at every stage of the campaign. This issue is the first real promise we have had that the monopolies can be con- trolled. Heretofore the offending corpor- alton has been fined and it has proceeded to collect the fine from the public. This was done because a corporation is an artificial person and an artificial person cannot be imprisoned.
 woodrow Wilson stands as high among lawyers as he does among scholars, and as a lawyer he says guilt Is personal" These three words constitute a new issue which may become a new and important departure. Society" he says, "cannot afford to have individuals wield the power of thousands without responsibility. It cannot afford to let its strongest men be the only men who are inaccessible to particular cannot afford to constitute it's economic undertakings upon the mon- archial or aristocratic principle, and adopt the fiction that the kings and great men thus set up can do no wrong which will make them personally amenable to the law which restrains smaller men; that their kingdoms, not themselves, must suffer for their blunders, their follies, and their transgressions of rights"
 Dr. Wilson proposes to hold the of- lending individual responsible, rather than the corporation, and if there are dam ages to be paid-they should be paid out of the private means of the persons who are guilty. This proposition opens a way to the punishment of the guilty in any trust or monopoly, and according to Woodrow Wilson it discoses the only eff cient way by which such concerns can be regulated and controlled. These three words, guilt Is personal" will become a slogan for 1912.

ITALIAN HUMOR

From the November Bookman,
 While this perhaps has nothing to do with current literature, we jot it down because 1t impressed us as being partic- uierly good. and because 1t illustrates as well as any story that we have ever heard the peculiar quality of Italian humor. Fasolacci is a youth of much ele- gance and little discretion. He has been spending right and left, and one day he finds himself unable to pay his hotel bill. Owing to the avarice of his father he appears to his uncle:
 Dear Uncle: If you could see my shame while I write, you would pity me. Do you know why? Because I have to ask you press my humble gratitude.
 No, 1t is impossible to tell you! I pre- fer to die.
 I send you this by a messenger, who awaits an answer.
 Believe me, dear upcle, your most obed- tent and affectionate> nephew,
 FASOLACCI. P. S.-Overcome with shame for what I have written, have been running after the messenger in order to take the let ter from him; but I coud not catch up with him. Heaven grant that something may happen to stop him or that this let ter may be lost. F. The uncle receives the letter, is touched by it's contents, considers, and replies: My Beloved Nephew: Console yourself and blush no longer. Providence heard your prayer. The messenger lost your letter. Good-by. Your affectionate uncle,

D ioiii tuc rAdHsdS Olly star.
 Swindle story from Chicago that has to do with Missouri woman: Carving carefully wrapped bundle with both arms and mumbling excitedly to herself I've got it, a little old woman stepped nervously into the violin department of music house here. Five minutes later she was carried to a car moaning hvs terically. What she believed to be genuine Hopf violin, an almost priceless instrument, proved to be a fiddle not worth three dollars. She had been swim dled, she said, out of her home, a farm worth 5000, bought with her life's say- ings. The woman was Mrs. J. M. Light her of Paris, Mo. She told a pathetic story to the men of the piano house. Early in June. she said, she was ap- preached by man giving the name of N. M. Ewing, representing himself as an agent of the music house. He said he was searching for rare Hopf violin for which he asserted the company would pay 5000. A confederate, giving the name of Price then appeared in Monroe City, Mo, with the instrument, and Mrs. Lghtner hunted him up and bought the violin. I had to go 24 miles to find MT. Price wrote Mrs. Lightner He had heard that the violin was very valuable and I had to pay him s2o00 for 1t. I didn't have that much money, and deeded owed my farm to him."

every person engaged in it punished for murder.
 Some believe that the retaliatory mobs in Mexico were really of revolutionary nature. President Diaz has plenty of enemies. and the mobs in MexIee may have been efforts to discredit him at home and abroad. He Is denounced in Mexico as a tryant and his rurales are deeply disliked. The whole affair in Mex leo may easily have been of a revolution ary nature.
 On account of our double system of government the hunting down of the mob of Rock Springs must be conducted by the state of Texas, and President Taft can do nothing beyond extending an apology for what occurred there. Gov ernor Campbell of Texas is, however, act Ing vigorously, and the chances are very good that the facts will be brought out and justice done. If so, the incident Will soon be forgotten.

THE LITTLE ROOM

By Julia Nicely Finch. Within the silence of my heart There is a chamber set apart; A little room all full of bloom And 1ncensed with rare perfume or lifes most precious memories. When life seems hardest, love seems cold And thorny ways stretch on before I enter in shut the door And there find peace and sweet content. Upon the hearthstone wide warm A little blaze most blithely plays And leaps as tho in joy to find Itself in this familiar place; The-lowly walls come close and hold Me as in loves enfolding arm And all about me murmurs rise In voices may hear no more Save in this little room I love. Tho stormy winds may rage and roar And lightning flash in dun clouds pent, Tho rain beat on my window pane And rambling thunder overhead Be-speak the storm kings rugged tread; Secure I sit and bask and bless My little rooms sweet tenderness. My thought runs back thro' all the years. l, see myself again child
 Within my mothers soft embrace; ( see the heaven of her face,
 Her loving eyes, so warm, so wise; hear the voice.. benignant, mild And lean at rest upon her breast have no cares, know no fears, No bonds of duty bar or bind;
 There are no wild and weary ways Der which my feet unwilling must Bo borne that they be bent, aboves simply lie there Tapped in love And rest, as rests a wandering dove Wh6se way is won in loving trust Unto the haven of her nest. Oh, little room love so welll Oh, mem'rys warm and welcome spelll would that all who suffer knew The peace and joy find in youl

Population Table

"An excellent feature of Nelson's En- cyclopedia is its method of using cut leaves and thus keeping up to date by replacing old articles with fresh articles" said a professional man.
 "The cut leaves just issued to be insert ed in the Encyclopedia include the article on Portugal, rewritten and brought up to date, and the census population of all cities announced up to October 23. This table Is alphabetically arranged. The poplation figures for 1900 and 1910 and the per centage of increase are given. The table is printed in large type and one sees at a glance that Birmingham leads all the cities sof upward of 100000 population in the rate of percentage growth-245.4.

AVIATION DIALECT

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 We have been awaiting the time when the sporting writers would take up avi- oting, and dignify 1t with a dialect that is all it's own.
 For instance. how is this for a mild example:
 .'The premier sky pilot to negotiate the upshoot was Le Branc, the pretty boy from gay Farce. sFoggie made a good ketaway and split the ozone smartly cn the first grade. hitting up the pace to a mile per on the side swirl over tho bunch of briny water along the east shore.
 with his chugger tuned up to D sharp the parlyvoo put rings around the high tower and did the swift swallow swoop along the ragged edge of a chunky clcudlet. Then he moseyed earthward and tolting old gravitation in the short ribs gently settled down two hops and a skiplet from the happy little hanger where his birdie makes its nest"

What the People Want

President Barrett of the Farmers union demands at the hands of all congressman, insurgents or regulars, democrats or republicans, populist or socialist, a parcels post. He tells them it is up to them "to come across and to give the people something the en- tire country wants and that no man can logically or honestly oppose" He does not mention the express compan- les, for logic is not part of their melon-cutting equipment
 President Barrett says 1t should not much longer be cheaper to mail pack age for foreign delivery thousands of miles away than for domestic delivery In the next town. A domestic par cels post is even better than an in ternational parcels post, and if we can have but one it should be the former
 If every popular organization would take hold of this matter as President Barrett has done Congress could per haps be induced to listen to the peo- pie instead of the express companies A domestic parcels post with max imum of, say, Il pounds and req sonable rate, Is the demand of the times, and it cannot much longer be disreg garded by Congress.

AMBROSE BIERCE HAT.

Ambrose Bierce "A Dissertation on
 Dogs"
 Of all anachronisms and survivals the love of the dog is the most reason less. Because, some thousands of years ago, when we wore other skins than our own and sat enthroned upon our launches, tearing, tangles of tendons from raw bones with our teeth. the dog ministered purveyorwise to our savage needs, we go on cherishing him to this day, when his only function Is to lie- sun we pass in and out, enamored of his fat superfuity. One dog in 1000 earns his bread-and takes beefsteak, the other 5ss we maintain by cheating the poor, in the style suitable to their state.
 The trouble with the modern dog is that he Is the same old dog. Not an inch has the rascal advanced along the line of evolution. We have ceased to squat on our naked launches and gnaw raw bones, but this companion of the childhood of the race, this vestigial rem- nant of juventus mundi, this dismal an- achronism this veteran inharmony of the scheme of things the dog, has abated no jot nor little of his unthink- able objectionabless since the morning stars sang together and he had sat up all night to deflate lung at the per- formance. Possibly he may some time be improved otherwise than by efface- ment, but at present he is still in that early state of reform that Is not in- compatible with a mouthful of reformer The dog Is detestable quadruped. He knows more ways to be uncomfortable than can be suppressed in seven lam guages. The word "dog" is a term of con- tempt the world over. Poets have sung and prosaists have prosed of the virtues of individual dogs, but nobody has had the hardihood to eulogize the species. No man loves the dog; he loves his own dog or dogs, and there he stops; the force of perverted affection can no further go He loves his own dog party because that thrifty creature, ever cadging when not marauding, tickles his vanity by of steaks and bones, and partly because the graceless beast insults everybody else, ha1ming as many as he dares.
 He has no discrimination; his loyalty Is given to the person that feeds him, be the same a backguard or a mur- derer's mother. He fights for his mas- ter without regard to the justice of the quarrel-wherein he Is no better than Q patriot or a paid soldier.
