eovernors Who Defy the Law.

The Boston Transcript INDUCES in

less declaration of Governor Blease of
south Carolina. Suppose the Tran
script now turn its attention to a
parallel case in Maine. The only diff
ference we can see is that no powerful
concern is financing Blease and no ad-
yertisers are to be disgruntled by de-
nunciation of Gov. Blease's defiance of
law. The Transcript says:
Governor Blease of South Carolina has
again got his name in the newspapers,
this time by refusing TO give sheriit
the military assistance the latter called
for to prevent a lynchius. Blease mas

victory did not altogether forget that
the governor of South Carolina is an

If anyone has captured a purple
grackle which he has no immediate
use for, it would be much appreciated
in South Thomaston, where brown
tail moth nests are so numerous that
the roadside is said to be covered
with them. With such an abundant
supply of food. the grackle ought to
be able to exist during the winter,
and be returned in fine condition to
its owner when it has satisfactorily
disposed of the moths.
Two Dover men returning, Sunday,
by carriage from Dexter, decided that
the quickest way. would be to return
via the railroad track, and entered it
at the dam above the Abbott wooden
mills near the lake. Events proved
that the longer way round would
have been the shorter way home, for
they reckoned without their horse.
Near the railroad bridge, at a point
midway across the company's lines
on the lower lake, the horse decided
reetion as he cared to- He therefore
plunged to one side to free himself
from the carriage and incidentally
threw his fellow travellers into the
chilly waters of Lake Wassookeag.
The horse reached home first, but the
men finally did likewise, fortunately,
practically uninjured.
