Yesterday, U. D. Benner, of Warren
ton, Va, was thrown from his mount
in an exhibition event and so badly in
jured that he expired shortly after he
had been brought to the University

WHERE JUSTICE FAILS.

In a editorial in the Gazette som
weeks ago we called attention to the
harsh sentence that was given to youn
Brownell Of Suffolk who was sent to
the penitentiary for four years ior
forging a telegram under peculiarly
lad circumstances. We are glad TO
,ote that other papers in the state
agree with our position. The Ledger
Dispatch OF Norfolk says:
So rapidly are criminal cases forgot
ten that it is no. often that people have
the opportunity to contrast the sent
.nces for similar crimes in different To-
calities, and especially to note to what
extent friends and influences help
Here are two cases that are worth
considering from the standpoints above
mentioned. In one case man gets
three years for embezzling S25, 900, and
in the other che man gets four years
for forging a telegram for $50. Both
r!ead extenua:ing circumstances.
In Richmond Freight Agent Gregory
embezzled S25 900 and fled to the west
under an assumed name. He was
caught, brought back, plead guilty with
"exteuuating circumstances, " and was
given three years in prison. The ex-
,.nuating circumstance" plea was that
his salary was too small for man
handling as much money rs he dId-ln
other words that he should have been
Maid more to be honest. This plea
alone ought to have added to the SEN
tence. ),
This man was at home, with friends
and connections, and got off easy.
In Suffolk, young man from Brook
lyn, N. Y, forged telegram Tor so.
He was in a strange town and without
funds. He expected remittance, and
anticipated it by the forgery: The re-
mittance came, but was stolen oy the
ianitor OF the postofice-the Jan'tor
who stole the money got Il months IN
Jail. ~
He only forged the telegram for the
sum he expected by mail, but evidently
was to make the S25 good, yet he got
four wears in the penitentlary' while
the ianitor who actually stole the re-
mittance got - months in jail.
Governor Mann should look into TINS
rase OF Brownell Of Suffolk.

Many men and women. and espe-

swollen and sweaty feet. Others suf-
fer much from cold feet, or corns
and callouses. This form of misery
can be readily banished by the
simple daily use of antiseptic vilane
powder, a specific of extraordinary
virtues.
Obtain two ounces of vilane pow
der from any leading druggist and
to a gallon of steaming water add
teaspoonful Immerse the feet
in this every night for a few weeks.

soothe, heal and remove all poisons

disappear and cold feet soon become
unknown. Any one suffering with
their feet should have this know
