William Welch, aged 80, has been
released from prison at Columbus,
Ohio, a maniac, after serving five
years OF a life sentence for stealing
a piece of bacon, valued at $1.00
from a farmer at Greenyille, Ohio,
because he said he was hungry and
unable to obtain work. He plead
guilty to charge of burglary, ex-
pecting that leniency would be shown
him. The judge who passed such an
outrageous sentence as this will no
doubt have more to answer for to
Him who judges all men than the
petty thief, but if any newspaper
within the jurisdiction of that Judge
had ventured a criticism, it would
doubtless have incurred severe pun
ishment for contempt of court. Where
is our Wanted freedom of the press?

The bill to divide the town of At
lanta has been presented by Lady
smiths representative in the legisla-
ture, d. II. Richards We do not even
expect one per cent of the attention
we should have from Mr.. Richards,
but when interested parties write for
a copy of this bill, they should re-
ceiye it. For Mr. Richards to answer
q request for the same and say bill
is enclosed" and then fail to Ell
close it looks small, and why were
copies of the bill sent to Ladysmith
newspapers and interested parties in
that city and not to this paper and
interested parties here? Does Mr..
Richards think this thing can be
done in a corner?''-Bruce News
Letter
The News Letters attack upon
Mr.. Richards is entirely uncalled for
If Mr. Richards failed to enclose a
copy of the bill in acknowledging re-
ceipt for same it was obviously just
such an oversight as any busy man
will often have occur. The News-Let-
ter shouldn't be too quick at jump
ing at conclusions, for the Lady
smith newspapers did not receive
copies of the bill and the News-Bud-
set man had to search through the
hundreds of copies of bills on file
at the county clerks office to OBJ
tain the information exclusively pub
lished in this paper We think the
bill is a good one, but regardless of
its merits, because the bill was in
troduced by Mr.. Richards is no more
reason why he should be attacked
than is the fact that he was once
guilty of the heinous crime of being
resident of Ladysmith. We dare
say that any bill prepared Ivy any
citizen of the district and placed in
his hands in due time with the re-
quest that it be introduced would be-
