there is not as much likelihood tonight
of a lynching as there was last night
there is determination among the more
active spirits of the place that the guilty
negroes shall be speedily convicted and
hanged.
1t is stated tonight that James Para
way, one Of the prisoners, broke down un-
der a grilling by Detective Pumphrey, OF
Baltimore, and admitted that he had dealt
the blow that killed Coleman. He i'm
plicated Norman Mabel, another of the
negroes, who had made a previous con-
fession to the robbery, and who said that
the death blow had been dealt by Para
way. This confession clears up the case
as far as the preliminary work is con-
cerned.

be held tomorrow when, no doubt the
men will be speedily indicted. States At

he went into details, it is stated. He told
the detectives, it is said, how he had
followed the carriage along the dark
road and how Mabel had gone by another
road TO head of Coleman. He described
their meeting and is said to have related
how Mabel held the horse while he struck
the farmer over the head with an iron
bar. He then described how Mabel had
robbed him of $50 and Of their escape.
The detectives then left the Jail and
started a search for the weapon used by
the murderers. In a clump of bushes
leading off from the road near where
the crime was committed. near Melitota,
a hamlet about eight miles from here,
the weapon was found. 1t was stained
with blood, although most of this had
been washed away by the rain.
Gov. Goldsborough took a hand in the
case today by making a demand on the
marshal of police of Baltimore to send

the cure of cancer, by DR.. Howard
Kelly, in the latter's private hospital
Baltimore. Under the direction of DR..
c. Rucker, the government specialist
cancer experiments with radium are
ng made in the public health service
oratory.
Overnment officials are optimistic over
results Of the operation on Mr..
emner, and should a cure be effected
this case, it would be hailed with de-
mt in government circles. Advocates of
Ternment ownership of radium-bearing
mines are anXiously awaiting the
tcome Of the operation, for should it
0ve successful. they deem it their most
portant argument in urging Congress
make this scheme possible.
Or. Rucker, in commenting on the use
radium as a cure for cancer, said:
We are following experiments with
dunn all over the world. The question
the cure of cancer is of vital interest
erywhere, but nowhere more So than
the United States.
Increase Is Alarming.
Vital statistics for the years 1901 TO
II, inclusive, show that the number of
Incer cases has increased at the rate
y per cent. The death rate from this
lsease in this country is about % for
Ach 10000 of population.
I'm England and Wales the death rate
Or 100000 is ninety-seven. while in Spain
nd Hungary it is forty-five, so this
ountry may be said to compare well
nth other countries.
But the alarming thing to this coun-
ry is the rapid rate of its increase.
several theories for the cause of the
Increase have been advanced, but no
heory has been accepted generally. Most
IF the theories are based on the COM
nunicability of cancer, the effect of the
high tension of modern life and the rapid
rate of living. These things are under
Investigation as well as methods OF
treatment
DIR. Rucker would not discuss the ad-
Instability of government ownership of
radium- m-bearing ore mines so that radium,
II proven cancer cure. could be used
In treatment of the poor. or the question
pf the prohibition of radium expectation.
IT is probable Congressional committee,
investigating the subject, will ask his
expert testimony on these and other
subjects.
Some Doubtful OF "Cure."
That it will be number OF years before
enough results are obtained through ex-
periments with radium so that the coun-
try at large can receive any material
benefit from the treatments, IS the general
opinion Of prominent Washington sur
geons. Some go so far as to say that re-
ports regarding the benefits derived from
Tadium as Z cure for cancer have been
Exaggerated grossly. ano that the sub
|tance will never effect a cure of what is
Regarded as a hopeless" case.
DIR. Truman Able, Of 1919 NJ street, who
kas made numerous experiments with the
new radium treatment, is most emphatic
on this point.
We are just beginning to learn about
the curative powers of radium,' he said

The Herald and News dislikes to
make excuses and apologies for its
own failures, but sometimes it is best
to do it, so as to explain certain
things which some people may not
understand and, therefore, will cri-
ticize. For more than three weeks
now one of our most valuable men
has been sick and unable to work
Our linotype operator is not an ex-
pert, but we desire and intend that
he shall have the opportunity to be
one, and it only takes time. The ad-
vertising patronage for the last two
months has been pleasingly good, but
sometimes the copy is not received
in time to handle with the force that
we had as expeditiously as we would
like, and as a result of all these
things we have been late in printing
the paper and few times have miss
ed the evening mails which has
caused the paper to be late on some
op rO1JtoS
For the same reasons we have been
unable at times to handle all of the
local items that we would like. To
crowd out a local item touches on the
nerves of our very efficient local re-
porter, for he imagines taat some one
will be unkind enough to think, if
not to say, tnat he is not on to his
job and fails to get on to the local
happenings of the community. Not
so.
For all of the short comings of the
paper within the last two or three
weeks in the matters mentioned, the
editor assumes all resi- ,ility
and blame. The, force we have had
has been and is doing all that could
be expected, and sometimes more,
and the local reporter is always on
his lob. We will try to remedy these
things in the future and do our best
to that end.
Some people on our city list who
have the papers delivered have asked
in rather unkind tone of voice if we
had changed the paper to morning
paper, Well, it always has been
morning paper printed and delivered
the afternoon before When we are
late the carriers can't we'll make their
rounds in the night time and therefore
if has sometimes been the morning OF
publication when the paper was de-
livered.
We made it rule a long time ago
to do the best we could under the cir
cumstances at all times and not to
worry about the results. Of course,
it would be untrue to say that we did
not like the approval of our fellow
citizens but if they don't give it we
do not whine about it and worry over
it.
We have felt, however, that in JUS
tice to those who were laboring with
us that it was due them to make this
exclamation. The truth of the matter
is that the business of editing and pub
Iish.ng country newspaper is no bed
of roses al best, and if you worry and
fre about everything you will soon
worry and fret yourself out of exls-
tence.,
Let al Of US pull together and work
together for greater and better town
and tnen we will not have time to
criticize our neighbor.
