100 Million Dollars
Worth OF Shoes

These stupendous figures, yet this is the yearly
amount that the South spends for shoes AS curiosity
these figures may attract you for minute but the most
curious thing about them is that three quarters of this
money is regularly sent away from the South and the
South is that much poorer for it.
You trade at Southern shoe store You give the
dealer your money. You probably buy western
northern made shoe When the dealer pays his BILL this
money! less small per cent to the dealer goes north
west and the South is that much poorer
Keep your money at home Let it work for better
times, better wages, more factories, more work for
Southern people,
Ask your dealer for The Craddock Shoe Made in
the South, by white labor for Southern gentlemen The
best shoe value offered by any maker in the land for
in the South and pays Southern labor Southern grocers,
bakers and butchers.

Olfactory Evidence.

A typical old-time Circuit rider
died recently in Alabama-a man
whose godly, unselflsh life will long
be remembered. Many were the &C.
centricities of this rugged old man,
and many anecdotes are curreL t
among the Methodist ministers of the
State concerning him. He was noted
for two things-his denunciation Of
sin in no uncertain tones, and the
familiarity with which he addressed
the Lord in prayer.
On one occasion he had been
preaching In log meeting house in
the piny woods Of North Alabama.
There were several young fellows on
hand who had been celebrating by
patronizing a still hard by. After a
long, fiery sermon, the preacher made
call for mourners, and soon the
rude altar was filled mostly by the
aforementioned young fellows. The
old man looked them over for mo-
ment, and with keen intuition felt
that it was perhaps a lark" on the
boys parts, but he knelt to pray.
20 Lord" he began, heres a
crowd OF young fellows kneeling
round Your altar. They've been
cussin and swearin' and drinkin' and
spendin' their time in riotous livin',
but they've come up here seemingly
penitent. They look like penitents,
Lord, and hope they are. They weep
like penitents, Lord, and hone You'll
forgive EN- If they are; but, 0 Bord
declare they don't smell like peni-
tentsi"

Some idea of the magnitude of the
live stock business IN this county may
be gathered from tn. fact that dur
Ing the month of January one rail-
road alone transported 735 carloads
Of mules and horses from st. Louis
to the South. During the present
season Lancaster concern, the Greg
ory-Hood Company, has shipped into
this State from st. Louis over 40 car
loads of mules and horses, the ship
ments being made to Lancaster and
other points where the company Is
operating branch stables. When 1t
is realized that the average number
Of animals in q car is about &c, it can
readily be seen what these many ship
ments mean In the way of introduce
ton Of new stock into this country.
or course, there is a demand for all
these mules and horses, else they
would not be brought here. But isn't
1t about time for the farmers gene
rally to begin raising their own stock
and thereby keep at home the many
thousands Of dollars annually sent by
them to the Western dealers?

London County Council presented a
report at meeting Of that body TO-

for the Liverpool and London libra

Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin and
George Washington and the book
"From Log Cabin to White House."
Asked to explain the reason for this
elimination John Dennison Pender
one Of the committee, said that the
books were regarded as Objectionable
on account Of "their extreme lack of
refinement and also because they
were written in American, and en-
tremely vulgar American at that"
The report was referred back to the

HITS At MODS AND COURTS
Colonel Roosevelt Attacks Lynch
Ings In unmeasured
Terms.

New York.-Declaring that legal
delays often result in exhibitions OF
lynch law and demanding that Grim
inal assault upon women be made q
capital crime for which there must
be an immediate trial, Theodore
Roosevelt, in the Outlook, attacked
lynching in unmeasured terms.
1.-THE repeated race riots and lynch
ings that have occurred In the North
ern States during the last decade must
have convinced the least observant
that neither race feeling nor the tend
ency to lynching is in sense peculiar
to the South. 1t is horrible thing
for which the whole country must
bear responsibility.
Lesser OF Two Evils.
"But mere denunciation of the
crime of mob amounts to little or
nothing. We must recognize what
the facts are that excite the mob to
act Dreadful though it is for the mob
spirit to be reused in community
by such crime, it would be an even
worse calamity if the community did
not feel the fury OF Indignation which
produces the mob spirit.
Courts Largely To Blame.
There is no question that there are
serious breakdowns in the admins
tration of justice in America. Slow
ness in deciding cases, readiness to
admit appeals, the subordination OF
justice to legal technicalities, the ir-
ritating delays in getting the machine
of the law into motion and the utter
~ improper attention paid by the
courts to the sharpness of lawyers in
invoking technicalities -all of these
result in frequent miscarriages of jus
tice and in delays which, If long
enough, amount, especially in their
effect upon the public, to an absolute
miscarriage of Justice

Richmond, ya.-Henry Clay Beattie
Friday morning paid in the electric
chair the death penalty fer the muir
der OF his WIFE
The electrocution, in accordance
with the rigid .slaw of Virginia, was
shrouded in secrecy, only the officials
and States witnesses being admitted
to the death chamber.
Every effort was made by the au-
thorities to keep for time the details
OF the execution from becoming pub
lie, but within few minutes of the
time that Beattie breathed his last the
word was passed among the throng
outside the penitentiary walls tina. 1t
was all over.
Long before the hour set for the
execution crowds began to assemble,
eager to hear the least word of what
was taking place within the cold grim
prison-house where Virginia puts to
death her murderers. -
There appeared to be an undercur-
rent Of hysteria in the throng, and not
a few appeared to expect up to the
last moment that something would
intervene to save the prisoner Rom
the death chair. For the pr:S,ner
there appeared to be very Mttl sym
patty, as the brutality Of his Grime
was such as to leave him, save .oF his
family, almost without friendh.
Every person who entered the peni-
Tertiary was carefully scrutin:zed by
those outside, and when one was
recognized his identity was passed
from one to another throush the
crowd.
Beattie's spiritual advisers were
known to be with him long before the
execution, and that they accompanied
him to the death chamber.
Virginia law does not permit the
presence of newspaper reporters when
the death penalty is imposed, or the
publication by Virginia newspapers of
the gruesome details of electrot utions.
But instead of shilling, tn s fact
seemed to whet only the more the
curiosity of the people of Richmond,
to whom Beattie's execution was al
most the sole topic of conversation for
days.
The crowd outside was orderly, and,
generally speaking, silent one. And
when the information was had that
tBeattie had died under the electric
current, there was virtually no demon
stration, grim visaged men in the
main contenting themselves by walk
ing silently away.
