ans was in the habit of signing

Sheriff Mooers was called here,
Wednesday, taking with him from
Athens Trial Justice J. F. Holman.
The three men, Charles Steele, Pat
Harrington and Wyatt Bunker. who
are employed in the building of the
new railroad TO Mainstream, were
given hearings. They were found
guilty of the charges. Steele and
Bunker were sentenced to pay fine
of s1355 each and Harrington was
given so days in Jail
AS soon as these cases had been
disposed of it became necessary to
reconvene the court. 1t developed that
steele lost 800 in money, Tuesday. His
story was, that he had been drunk
and, having the money with him,
sewed in his clothes, he woke up in
the afternoon and the money was
gone. a friend by the name of Nc
Donald testified that Steele had the
money and that he helped Harrington
sew it into Steeles clothes. Sheriff
alooers soon learned that the facts
told were easily proved and further
more. Harrington, the day previous.
was out Of funds anG had hired 81.
and the next day he had $40. The
evidence warranted Justice Holman in
holding Harrington for the action OF
the September grand jury and he was

putting Harrington into his cell, Sher-
if Mocers began to search him. As
he took off his left shoe, Sheriff Moo
ers examined it and was about to
throw that aside when he felt some
thing soft in the toe of the shoe. He
dug it out and found that ii was
about $40 in money The prisoner
looked at it meekly and said Guess
that fixes things" According to Sher-
inf M6oers, there will be some more IN
teresting things in Harmony.

In ex parte Jackson, a federal stat
ute which forbade the carriage by mail
of lottery matter was under considera
ton. The supreme court said:
1.-THE power possessed by Con-
gress embraces the regulation of
the entire postal system of the
country The right TO designate
that shall be carried necessarily
involves the right TO determine
what shall be excluded
Mr.. Justice Field, who spoke for the
court, however, went on to say:
"Nor can any regulations be
enforced against the transporta-
ton of printed matter in the
mail, which is open to examina-
ton, so as to interfere in any
manner with the freedom of the
press. Liberty of circulating is
as essential to that freedom as
liberty of publishins; indeed 3
without circulation the publ
action would be of little vaIue.'
:. The opinion of the court, which is
too long for quotation, restricted its
conclusion to the right of Congress to
exclude immoral matter. from the
mails
The question again came under con-
sideraton in re Rapier. 143 L. ., de-
cided in 1891, and the question was
very learnedly argued by James c.
Garter, then the leader of the bar. The
court, in the opinion of Chief Justice
Fuller, said in substance that while 1t
is true that the legitimate end of the
federal power over post roads was "tc
furnish mail facilities to the people of
the United States, it is also true that
mail facilities are not required to be
furnished for every purpose" The
chief Justice then shows that prior to
the Federal Constitution the states
could determine in the exercise of the
police power what matter was so de-
moralizing in its influence upon the
people as to Justify its exclusion from
the mails. The court refused To
recognize distinction, that was at
tempted To be made in argument, be-
tween things that were had only be-
cause they were prohibited and things
that were intrinsically bad. in other
words between the mala prohibita and
the nala in Sc. They held on the
contrary that it must be left to Con
gress in the exercise of a sound dis
cretion to determine in what manner
1t will exercise the power (of exclu-
sion) it undoubtedly possesses"
If this opinion were the last express
sion of the supreme court, il might be
fairly argued that that court left it %
the discretion of Congress to deter
mine what was so prejudicial to the
public welfare as To justify it's exclu-
sion from the mails, and that the
judiciary could not review such dis
erection. II that were true, it might
well be argued in the matter under
