PERSECUTION OF MR. HoRNER.

The rromptness with which Honorable Guy T.
Horner. member OF the house OF delegates from
Southampton was acquitted of the serious
charge of emhezzlement. would seem to bear out
the claim made by his friends that the charge
was largely inspired by malice and political OPP
position. Mr. Horner is recognized as a young
man Of ability and integrity. When tho charges
were preferred against him he denounced them
false and unjust and rightly demanded
prompt trial The result was his acanittaI. How
the matter is viewed by the people Of Mr.. Hor-
ner's community may be seen from an editorial
in the Southampton county paper. This says

by those who were familiar with the case and
who read the statements publish In this paper
by Mr.. Horner and his attorney, Honorable
John y. Sebrell, Jr., OF Norfolk but meets with
the approval Of county people who have
generally regretted the action taken against Mr..
Horner and the embarrassment to which the
'countys representative was, AZ it now seems
ineodlessly subjected
