JUDGE MILLER POINTS OUT THE
VNCIERG
LYNCHERS.

The October term of the Pike county
circuit court convened at Magnolia, Miss,
Monday, October TO- and according to
special to the New Orleans Item, Judge D.
NJ Miller, of Hazelhurst, who was presid-
ing, gave the county grand jury some
pretty clear points as to their duty.
"The most sensational part of Judge Mil
lers charge" says the special, "was that
devoted to the practice of unlawful relations
as it exists between Whites and Blacks.
First pausing to request all women to leave
the court room, Judge Miller proceeded to
severely castigate those white men who are
guilty of this offense against the very bed
rock of society He declared these were the
men who were always first to lynch Negro
for an attack on white woman when very
possibly their conduct was an incentive to
the Negro to commit outrageous crimes
He urged the grand jury to lay aside all
sentiment or feeling Of friendship and IND
Indictment against men who were notorious
1y guilty of this crime
Now this is clear enough for anybody to
understand. Judge Millers action is some
thing for everybody to remember. lie point
ed out to the grand jury "crimes" that were
notorious, crimes that melted other crimes
in which the Negro was always in the END
the sufferer Judge Miller was simply tell
ing the truth when he said that white men
who kept illicit relations with Colored wom-
en- were always the first to form mob to
lynch Negro accused of assault on white
women. What a shame it is that such
charge against the white mobs is true, true
in every sense! A white judge, speaking
to white grand jury about white men and
the low, debasing lives they live at time
when everything ugly is said against the
Blacl1-skinned people in the South under al
most every circumstances, is something re-
freshing indeed.

AMENDMENT TO CAME LAW.

Representative Hatch, of New Fair field, has entered bill in the legis- lature for the purpose of collecting statistics to show the aggregate amount of game killed in Connecticut during the year. It provides that There shall be attached to and made a part of every license issued after January 1, 1912, blank form showing the days of the month it is lawful to hunt, posses or pursue game and the kind of game that may legally be taken.
 Every calendar day or part of a day on which any one hunts or pur- sues game they shall check with a cross in the square at the right of the date under the column days hunted'' and if any game is taken or possess ed the number of each shall be in- serted in the proper column opposite the date.
 The town clerk shall, in addition to the regular license fee. require de- posit of one dollar the same to be re- turned when the expired license to- gether with the information required by this act has been returned to the town clerk.
 ''The penalties for violating any pro- vision of this act shall be the same as violation of the license act"
 This proposed and we'll intended law is likely to meet with considerable op- position from the hunters who are likely to magnify the time and care it will take to keep account, and those who are too unsystematic in all they do to make an accurate account of anything. It is valuable information which is sought for and there is no good reason why the state should not be provided with It.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

s.I have seen the Cuticura Remedies used with best results during the past twenty years. In my work as nurse. many skin disease cases came under my observation, and always recommended the Cuticura Rem- edies. One case was that of friend who. when a child. was afflicted with eczema which covered her face and hands entirely. She could not go to school as the disdEure- Tlent looked terrible. I told her to get g set of the Cuticura Remedies. After the use of only one set she was perfectly VI. vel; I; palms of her hands every fall, and the Cuti- cura Remedies cured het. I have also seen them cure children of ringworm. Tho children's faces would bs all circles snd treatment with ths Cuticura Soap and Ointment, they w,sp completely cured. My Mesband had rheunssism on his arm and used the Cuticura Ointment. It made his crm as Timber and nice, whereas it was quite stiff before.

He heard the birds sing, and when they would fly near and light he would look at them and his body would trennbie, his tail would switch. and his teeth gnash together, and he would give queer meouw, such as cats do when they want to catch birds to feed upon. He did not catch one, for the sparrow told the bluebird. and the bluebira told the robin that an enemy him by their nearby flights and con- stant chatter.
 When evening was approaching and all was still. Jerry started out again, ana III crossing a pasture surprised a mouse, cunning little creature with bluish silky fur and a very much long CT tail than Toots had; and he caught and ate one, never thinking of the baby mice in the home in the ground on the hillside; and then with a full stomach and p1easanter feelings Jerry proceeded to 8 highland pasture where he could see farther and take better care of himself.

Jerry never rode in a bag before, and he did not know that pet cats were in the habit of riding in them; and perhaps he would not have mind ed had his head been left out and he had been held in the rnilkman's lap. The millSman tossed Jerry under the seat and when he tried to walk he would stumble. and fearing something was going to happen to him he would give forth a, pitifu "meouwi"
 He could not forget Toots. or BoF' who had been put in his place and brought him to sorrow; and he rode over the rough road to the farm with a sad heart, and of. repeated. -e-o-u-ws!" When he felt himself picked up and being carried some where he became very scared and yelled and tried to scratch but he wes helpless. He was finally let out in a. small house full of bins which the farmer called his corncrfb, and there would appear. for Jerry thought Toots was having q good time at his old home. When night came and it was dark and still ths rats came to steal corn, and he began to watch for them, and he soon had caught and laid one lifeless by the door. There was work for Jerry ill the corncrib all night. and when morning came he had a row of fat rats by the side of the door for the farmer to see when he should come. By ana Dy LNS LOOT OpSHSu tlld the farmer with a. pan of milk in his hand at once spied the lifeless rats, and he exclaimed:

When the milkman went away he left the door open and Jerry was so anxious to get out that he did not eat with his usual appetite, but in a few minutes was out in the yard looking over the premises.

SELF DENIAL OFFERING SUNDAY.

The need of Missionaries in the work of evangelizing Korea has prompted the officials of the Methodist church to name January 29th, as Self Denial Offering Sunday, and in 17,000 Methodist Episcopal churches the con- gregations will bring the results of a self-denial and give ii for the sal vation of Korea. The Methodist Epis- copal church has a great opportunity and the Bishops and Missionaries are awakening the people to that fact
 Concerning the great work the mis- sionaries are doing, Corwin Taylor writes as follows from Kong Ju, Ko- req:
 After the Fall Quarterly Con ferences, the District Superintendent and myself planned to carry out the spirit if not the letter of the simul- taneous campaign that had just closed in Seoul The shortage of good, per sonal workers making a simultaneous effort all over the district being an impossibility, we brought the best workers together at a town some fifteen miles from Kong and began the campaign the second week in Novem- Der. The plan adopted and quite closely followed, was as follows: A meeting every morning for an hour of prayer and Bible study, then person. al work from home to home the balance of the day, the helpers going out by twos and threes. All of these workers carried tracts and most of them had had experience in doing per- sonal work, so that after the first night or so the efforts of these earnest workers began to yield results. In the evening a general meeting was held at which the seekers were enrolled and instructed
 The weather was cold and a part of the time snow and rain fell mak- ing the getting from house to house very difficult. but by the fourth night the church became too small, and the women had to meet in another build ing as the men alone filled the church. One young man who had been a Christian but had fallen into sin, came after a hard struggle. He is a fine Chinese student and one of the best Japanese linguists in this part of the country. His life alone will mean inn measurable influence on the side of right. During the meetings he was largely Instrumental in leading a num- Der of school boys and young men to take a stand for Christ. Before the week closed one hundred seekers had been enrolled, the attendance of the church more than doubled and the entire town thoroughly evangelized. Many who did not come said that they fully intended to become Christians, as there was nothing in heathenism and everything in Christianity.
 Three similar meetings have since been held with practically identical results, all classes being gathered in from the butchers. one of the low class, so considered, to the old off, cial and gentlemen class. From the boy and girl in the school to the old man and woman tottering to the grave, the people are turning to Christ.
 These meetings which are being held in hundreds of places all over this land, show by their results the power of united prayer and personal effort on the hearts of a people, who, in answer to the prayers of Gods people. are ready to receive the truth and live for Christ"
