Johnson Gets One Year.

Jack Johnson, negro heavy
weight champion, has been SEN
fenced to one year and one day
IN the State penitentiary at
Joliet, ILL.,. and fined 81, 600 for
violation of the Mann white
slave" act.
Sentence was pronounced on
Johnson after Federal Judge
Carpenter had denied a motion
for a new trial. Johnson OBJ
tanned two weeks time in which
to prepare a writ of error and
the bond for $50. 600 on which he
has been at liberty since his
conviction was allowed to stand.
Half a dozen deputy United
States marshals, who had grouped
themselves about Johnson in
anticipation of his resistance,
when the prison sentence was
given, left the room when Judge
Carpenter announced that the
fighter would continue tempo
rarily at liberty.
The sentence to the State
penitentiary is owing to the
crowded condition of the Federal
prison at Leavenworth. John
son left the courtroom declaring
he would not give up his fight
for liberty.

there comes the information that
a dark horse" from the Pied
mont will be in the race for
governor in 1914 whose political
influence is considered great and
far-reaching. He is a man who
came into political life and promi-
nence during the Tillman up-

recognized figure in the public

His Influence and political align
ment is such that he will be a
formidable opponent.

A VISIT WITH THE CHILDREN.

During the last week or ten days,
the mail for the "Children' Corner
has been just pouring in" That is
good. We are glad to get it all, but
we are sorry that so many compost
tions were too late to be considered
in the first contest. Be sure to notice
just when each contest closes. Begin
early and have your work in on time.
We have quite goodly number of
papers in on "Our Spring Flowers,
but we want more. There will be
about two weeks yet before this con-
test closes, so you will all be able to
take walk through the woods to look
for spring flowers, or you can tell us
about the earliest flowers that bloom
in your own yard. However think
it is the wild flowers that will interest
you the most, for they vary so greatly
in the different localities.
The third contest closes July 1st,
the subjects are GA Picnic" or "My
Pets. ="
Rules for contest: Write with ink
on one side of the paper only. Write
your name, address and age in the
upper right hand corner. The age is
always considered in judging the
work submitted.

HOW THE BIRDS WE'RE HELPED.

Mable Brown GAGE 49,
When the snow came, the snow
birds would come and stay around
the house and nearby trees.
We would throw crumbs and wheat
out for them. At first they we're
rather frightened but after a while
they would come and eat up the
wheat and crumbs. We had to keep
the cats in or they would scare the
birds away.
We should try to keep the birds
around because they eat up harmful
insects.

Ing from Cn6 air. Il am mere now,
but 1 must be going, those poor
children must be very worried, Good
bye"
Goodbye, - answered the Queen.
The now invisible Prince hurried
through the palace and by a secret
passage, known only to fairies, reach
ed the damp cave of the witches.
Through an open door beyond could
be seen the meadow where the flower
children we're. In corner of the
cave sat one of the old witches,
muLl bling to herself. The other one
could be seen hopping around the wild
rose and the buttercups, shaking her
cane and screaming.
The Prince began a search of every
nook and corner for something-he
thought it was a charm book-that
would help him free the children. He
had been in the room scarcely a
minute when the old witch lifted her
head and shifted the air, like a dog.
She got up, looked about the room,
but finding nothing, returned to her
chair, grumbling, 'Thought smelled
fairy, but l guess I didn't"
Prince Tinkle- bell laughed softly to
himself, stood in front of the old
witch and waved his hand slowly six
times. The witch leaned back in her
chair and went fast asleep.
CHOW I can search in peace, he
said to himself. After half an hour
spent in hunting high and low he
found loose brick in the wall, close
to the fire place. Removing this
brick he saw leather bound book.
This he drew out and opened. 1t was
the witches book of charms. He
glanced quickly over the pages. Near
the end of the book was this note:
Changed Bertha and her playmates
into flowers. Guess Queen Kind
heart and Prince Tinkle-beu won't
find them"
The Prince was disappointed. He
had hoped to find how the spell could
be broken He knew, however, that
IL Actu w 10 oOuoWu0Io, lOT 0V0Ty
witch must write somewhere the way
to break any spell they place on any
one. So he started to push the book
back into the place when a folded
piece of paper fell from the cover.
The Prince opened the paper eagerly
and read: "The only way to break
the enchantment cast over Bertha and
her friends is to dance about them,
while the sun is setting, singing,
'Wip-me-kaw-ne!' all the time.''
Prince Tinkle-bell hurried to the
mouth of the cave and looked out.
The sun was about to set. Peering
about and not seeing the other witch,
he ran to the flowers and carried out
the instructions that were on the slip
of paper.
In second the ten little girls stood
before him; but of course as he was
invisible to them, they could not
know that it was he who had released
them. They were very frightened and
began to Cry. He spoke to them tell
ing them who he was and why he was
invisible. Following his voice they

On leaving the field he flew straigh

forest. Here, changing into the form
of the Prince again, he tapped on The

entered. Inside we're dozens of tiny
gnomes, who all jumped up ano

"Have you discovered anything?'

This powder caused fairies to be-

are to US. They would also be in
visible to old witches. But this
powder had been misplaced and coulC
not be found, with all the magic il

AFTER leaving the cave of the gnomes
the Prince hurried to his mother,
Queen Kind heart. He explained the
81 tuation to her and said that they
must put every fairy in Fairyland to
work, hunting for the powder, as thai
was their only hopes of ever finding
out how to relieve the children from
the old witches enchantment.
For many days Fairyland was very
busy place. Little fluffy fairies were
hurrying every where, peering into
hooks aud corners, looking under
stones and even standing on their tip

one of the fairies cried out "Oh,

THE INLOW VERDICT.

The Inflow verdict of murder in the
second degree is not easy TO under
stand If Inflow Is guilty of anything,
it is hard to see why his guilt is not
that of murder in the first degree; for
the young man, Thomas Z. White. was
lured to his death and was undoubted-
ly killed by premoditation, and Of a
guilty purpose most damnable. The
prima facie assumption that Mrs. In
low was the guilty accomplice in lur-
ing the young man to his death puts
her in a class of guilty accomplices so
shocking and desperately depravcd
that words would be weak to describe
the infamy of her ofrense.
The young man, being lured to the
place appointed, was killed. The one
who killed him was undoubtedly pre-.
pared to do the killing. The plot was
carefully planned and villainously
carried out, just what the motive was
may not be entirely clear, and just
what was wanted of the young man
as the price of his life may never be
known, But if Inflow killed him, as
the jury evidently agreed that he did,
it is impossible to comprehend the
reason for the verdict of murder in
the second degree. Evidently the
jurors had difficulty among themselves
at arriving at conclusion, for their
appearance in court on Sunday and the
questions that they asked indicated
clearly that there was a sharp division
OF opinion, with all the Jurors but one
In agreement; and the result indicates
that this difference resulted in a com
promise verdict. But n compromise
verdict is always an illogical verdict,
neither comprehensive nor explainabe
from any standpoint whatever. And
this appears TO be the fact as to the
Inlow verdict, 1t is absolutely illogi~
cal and unreasonable from any stand
point from which it may be viewed
And it looks like shameful betrayal
of Justice
