NOT A CONVICT, BUT A GUEST.

We note az item in last Mon
days State to the effect that
John J. Jones the Branchville
lawyer that killed Abe Pearlstine
a long time ago. and who was
convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for ten years, has
not served a day of thatsentence
but instead he has been kept at
the penitentiary as ';a detention
prisoner" Jones was convicted
and sentenced but his lawyers by
some hocus pocus arrangement
gave notice of appeal, in the
meantime they applied to the
governor for pardon. this was
refused, and still Jones is not a
prisoner at the penitentlary.
Why this special privilege for
Lawyer Jones we cannot under.
stand. It's our opinion that the
Jones conviction will be a farce
on justice If the authorities per
nit him to be a guest instead OF
a convict. If Jones is guilty Of
the crime and jury of his coun-
trymen say be is then either
pardon him that he may go free
or respect the law by putting
the convicts stripes upon him
lust as would be done to some
unfortunate wretch who has no
influential friends. The peni.
tertiary is no place TO entertain
company.

The CRY OF STOP, THIEF.

They are going to have the
time of their lives in Charleston
next month ii the municipal elec
ten. The registration books
have been padded so have the
club rolls, aud each side accuses
the other Of attempting to win
the election by fraud. Strange
to say in accusing one another Of
wanting to cheat, bothssides are
telling the truth. If Charleston
has had a fair election since the
city came into Democratic con-
troi it was When there was no
opposition, OF the weather con.
ditions did not permit going to
Magnolia for a voting list, not
only so, those Who are now cry
ing out against fraud. are the
benefciaries Of the frauds that
have been committed in the years
past. The fight being waged by
the opposition to the ring" or
perhaps it IS best to say the ad-
ministration, is from an element
that has been endeavorIng to tell
the people all along OF the fraud
ulent methods employed by those
in control of the machine. But
the question with those wanting
honest methods, and an honest
government is, will the "Outs"
be any better than the "Ins:"
The Rhett-Hydc forces represent
the machine. while the Grace
Hughes forces are endeavorlng
to build up another machine, it is
a row that is of interest to the
State at: large because, the con-
troll Of the election machinery in
Charleston means considerable IN
the election for State officers. We
take no stock in the effort Of one
side to decry the other oy crying
fraud, for we believe both sides
are corrupts so far as the methods
employed to win are concerned.
1t is a case OF the pot calling the
kettle black. and it will always
be so until the citizenship Of the
city take the control OF the city
out Of the hands Of the profes-
sional politicians.

RED HAIR WAS NEW TO THEM
Indians for = Long Time Insisted
That White Mans Scalp Must
Have Been Painted.

Forty years ago the Indians IN
Colorado knew but little OF the white
man, and nothing hardly of his ways
or habits except from tradition
Among the people who went to set
tie in Colorado at that time was q
man with very red hair. He and his
party were thrown among the In
dians, who thought at first that his
hair was painted. just as they paint
ed their own bodies and faces.
Ar old chief came up to him one
day and looked at his hair very care
fully.
Ugh" said he.
And then, turning to the interpreter
who had the party in charge, he
wanted him to ask the man where he
got the kind OF paint that would color.
and yet not be greasy or look dabby.
He was told that the mans hair was
not painted, but he would not believe
it. He once more walked up to the
man and scrutinized his locks. run
ming his hand through them and look.
ing at his fingers.
The red-haired man became little
nervous, and half fancied that the
chief was calculating how nice red
scalp would look hung to his belt.
The interpreter, however. laughingly
told the man what the chief had said.
Two or three more of the Indians
then gathered around the party. and
they and the interpreter had pow.
WOW. Finally the interpreter asked
the man If he would object to putting
water on his hair
He saw the Indians would not be.
lieve but that 1t was painted, until
they saw that the water would not
wash the color out. The man took
some water, rubbed 1t on his hair,
and then showed his hands to them.
But it took four or FIVE days Of won
dering examination to convince them
that he had not found some peculiar
paint, and got himself up In bright
red suit of hair.
