WHlskEY AND THE GALLoWs.

The legal execution Of a negro Tor
a crime against a white person is
comparatively rare in the Southern
States where lynchings for such Of
lenses are very common. But at Jack
son, Georgia, on Thursday the death
sentence pronounced after trial and
conviction in court, was carried out
in the case of a negro who killed a
white man and confessed before he
was hanged that he was guilty, and
that he started the riot that gave him
the opportunity to murder.
This legal execution will do more
20 discourage crime than half dozen
lynchings. Indeed, it is well recog-
nized fact that lynchings promote
crime. The negro who was executed

| There are now in the Dauphin coun-

death, and another, charged with
murder, who would not be there II
they had let whiskey alone. One OF
them is a white man. one of them a

some negro blood in his veins. The

DR.. HArFleLD's CANDIDACY.

The announcement Of the candi-
dacy for the nomination for governor
OF state Senator Fl. d. Hatfield Will
be gladly received by those IN this
section who know of his excellent
Qualities. DIR. Hatfield is not well
known in the Eastern Panhandle and
the following from the Wheeling In
tellgencer win serve to give al idea
OF the character OF the man who seeks
to re governor Of West Virginia:
DR.. Hatfield vas bora and educated
in West Virginia, and has spent the
years of an active profes ional life in
this state. Among the medical ira
ternity Of the state he is placed In
the first rank of physicians and sur
'peons. In the Norfolk and Western
region. where he has been engaged
fer many years in the active practice
of medicine and surgery, DR.. Hatfield $
name is household word. Politically,
rf. Hatfield belongs to the younger
school Of public men. He has taken
little or no part in the partisan quar-
rels which have disturbed the Darty
organization during the past eight or
ten years. His first public service
was as county commissioner of Nc
DowelI county. and in that position
he inaugurated number of sweeping
reforms. wiping out an odious COM
fination between county officials and
earties engaged in the liquor bust
ness. and institnting a large number
Of public improvements. Four years
later he was elected to the state SEN
ate. In that body he was regular
and consistent republican, generally
supporting progressive measures adj
yocated by Governor Glasscock and
other members of the party. In 1904
he was delegate to the Wheeling
convention in the interest of Charles
T.. Teter. Later he was one of the
comparatively few republican leaders
in the Norfolk and Western region
vention in good faith. and gave to
Governor Dawson sincere, loyal and
enthusiastic support
DR. Hatfield commands in a large
measure the confidence of the bust
, ness interests of his section. They
know him to be safe fair and honest.
He is big man physically, mentally
and politically; big man in business.
and in his profession. In advance of
the announcements that may be made
governorship. it would be unwise to
! pttempt to forecast the result of the
primary on June 3rd A number of
prominent republicans have been con-
sidered and some of them NAV enter
the race. In DR.. Hatfield, however,
the republican party will find a strong
candidate for governor.
