The Gainesville, Pa, lynchers
have been indicted on a charge of
manslaughter The lynching and
burning Of the negro victim was one
of the most atrocious murders in
the criminal history of the country.
And the indictment is for man
slaughter! The Savannah News
thinks there is some satisfaction in
knowing that any kind of an indict-
ment has been returned. The coun-
try will now wait to see whether
there will be a conviction.

AN IMPORTANT PARSONAGE.

This is the season of the year
when the negro who can and will
pick cotton is in his glory. The ne
gro revels in his status, for farmers
fairly beg him to help gather the
feecy staple. He is getting a good
price, and the price is liable to go
higher. The farmer who has cotton
to pick gets nervous sometimes as he
looks at his white fields, ready for
the picker, and he pays more than
he feels able for the work. Then
the sable harvester grows more in
dependent, and wants more money
Thousands of negroes are thus en-
gagged today in Southwest Georgia
And what is more interesting thous-
ands of white farmers are busy try
ing to pick their own cotton, because
they cannot get extra labor Busy
days, these, in the cotton fields.

WET OR DRY?

Did Maine go wet or dry? You
can search me-" answers the gov
ernor of Maine, for after canvassing
the vote and finding apparently
&c wet" majority he has decided to
take until October 9Th to find out
whether the count is correct. 1t is
sure a queer situation.
1t seems, however, from the fig
ures that are at hand the vote was
adverse to further retention of pro-
hibition, and if the result goes I'M
challenged as an honest and unham-
pered expression of public sentiment
in the Pine Tree state it may be as
sumed that Maine has actually de-
cided to abandon the system that has
been in force there So years, or
more than half century, and is
ready to try some other means of
dealing with the evils of the liquor
traffic.
It was in 1916 that Maine first
turned to prohibition. The law pass
ed in that year by the state legisia-
ture proved defective, however, and
in 1851, under the leadership of
Brigadier General Neal Dow, the first
effective prohibition law was passed.
This was repealed in 1856 and re-
enacted two years later. In 1884
the people endorsed by a majority Of
1898 votes a referendum proposal
to place a prohibitory clause in the
constitution, and it was this inhibito-
ny provision that has been voted out.
The apparent victory Of the an
tbs, after a campaign of intense
earnestness and dramatic canyassing,
does not place Maine in the license
column The state is still prohibit
tion under a law passed in 1858 and
never repealed, but the recent YER
dict will undoubtedly lead to a re-
vision of the sumptuary legislation
enacted SO years ago and introduce
a system, most likely, of local OPP
tion-if the people want to- go fur
Their.

A SULPHUR TRUST.

From the Savannah News.
Many Georgia farmers will be in
clined to draw an incredulous smile
upon being told that there is such a
thing in this country as a trust in
kindling splinters. Any Georgia far
mer can take his axe and go down
back of the new-ground field and cut
kindlngs enough to last a month;
but the people who dwell in cities
cannot do that sort of thing, and that
is where the opportunity of the kind
ling wood trust comes in. Kindlings
are put up in bundles and sold at re-
tail in cities at five and ten cents
One corporation, it seems, controls
the supply Of about all the large cit
les. Our dispatches report that the
government has brought suit to dis
solve the kindIings trust. Nothing
is too small for the trusts to grab

Jail sentences for persistent viola

First offenses should be punished by
fines, but in cases where there has
been continuous defiance of the law
prison sentences imposed by the

EXPRESS RATES
Get A REDUCTION
New Schedule of Charges on
Intra- State Business Goes
Into Effect Tomorrow.
COMMISSION IN RULING
Illinois Railway and Warehouse Body
Issues Order Following In
yestigation.

Commencing tomorrow q new SEIZED
ule of express rates on shipments out
OF the tri-cities goes into effect under
a ruling of the state railway and ware
house commission. The new rate
will effect a reduction of nearly % per-
cent on all shipments. 1t is applica-
bic, however. only on the stations of
the roads which run into and out of
Rock Island, namely, the Rock Island
road, the Burlington, Milwaukee, and
the Rock Island Southern. II ship
ments are sent TO cities not on these
lines, the old schedule will apply.
BASED ON MILEAGE.
The new rates are based on mileage
1t is especially acceptable to people
who express less than 100 pounds at
a time as that class of express gets
the larger reduction. For instance I'M
der the old rate a package weighing
80 pounds could be sent to Chicago for
81 Under the new rate it will go for
20 cents, a decrease of 80 percent. On
100 pounds and less than 200 the rate
TO Chicago Is now 81 where formerly
it was SIPS.
The ruling applies to each of the ex-
press companies in the city. These are
the Wells Fargo; Adams, United
