The tariff shouters are telling the
farmer that he would be getting 1O
to Is cents bushel more for corn
if the tariff hadn't been wiped out.
My, my, what calamity, and corn
so cents bushel! However, we
recollect when the farmer was get
ting only Is and rs cents bushel
for his corn, and the tariff was on
the job and working overtime at
that.-Castina Times.
And such papers as the Times
were singing then and until the re-
cent tariff revision, parrot like, "the
tariff is a tax" "the tariff is a tax"
Now, however, they are saying the
removal of the tariff will make no
difference in prices.

Negro Struck Low Johnson, Jr.,
and Attacked Deputy
Herbert Johnson.
14-NCH CORN KNIFE IN HAND.
Was Plainly a Case of Self
Defense, Two Shots We're
Fired.

John Fox, a negro ex-convict, died
at his home, near town yesterday
morning at 500. His death was due
to pistol shot in one shoulder, fired
by Deputy Sheriff Herbert johnson.
Thursday night, about s o'clock
Mr.. johnson went to San Domingo,
a negro suburb southeast of the city,
to serve a capias on a man supposed
to be somewhere about. He asked
negro he met where the man could
be found and was told he was down
at the home of John Fox.
The deputy took Low johnson, Jr.,
in the buggy with him to hold the
horse and went into Fox's house to
serve the paper on his man should he
be there. Deputy Johnson also had
capias for Fox and told him he was
going to arrest him. 1t is said Fox
was somewhat under the influence Of
whisky and as soon as the officer en-
tered the door he became terribly
enraged and commenced cursing Mr..
johnson, calling him unspeakable
names, and said mo id white man
can arrest me-"
Young johnson, about II years of
age, hearing the loud swearing, got
out of the buggy and went to the
door to see what was going on. Fox
struck one blow with his fist, knock
ing him out Of the door. Herbert
johnson was by this time shut off
from the door as Fox reached up
and took fourteen-inch corn knife
from over the door and made at
johnson with it, telling him he was
going to ''cut his id head off"
The officer then drew his revolver
and fired two shots at the negro,
one of them taking effect in the left
shoulder. Fox fell to the floor.
After the shooting Mr.. johnson
reported the affair and Sheriff jew
ell Smith found DR.. Gather and ac-
companied by Deputy Sheriff Will
Hammack, soon arrived at Fox's
home. DR.. Gather dressed the ne
gro's wound, The negro died yes
terday morning.
Fox was one of the worst negroes
in the county. He had been sent to
the penitentiary three times. and
had the reputation of being a great
chicken thief and the Chief of Police
says that he could hardly tell how
many times he had resisted arrest.
He was one of the worst characters
generally that has been before the
city court in recent years.

electric flash lights were appropri-
ated. These two items led them to
believe that there were grown men
in the crowd. A few other articles
of but little value were also taken.
Chief Roper, who had been in tel
ephonic communication with many
places not far off, Thursday played a
sort of third degree game which,
ended in the Mabry boys confessing
that he was the one who forced the
two back doors and stole the money.
At first Mabry denied knowing any
thing about the Yost burglary but
Chief Roper made him believe that
he knew all about the robbery. Then
the youth broke down and confessed
that he was the one who broke open
the doors and entered the store, but
said he would stay in Jail the balance
of his life before he would tell on
the others.
We were told yesterday morning
that all the money stolen from the
+. A. Yost Co. excepting something
over dollar had been recovered.
Chief of Police Roper has his wires
still at work and further develop
ments are expected in a few days.

hood. 1t believes that economic as
sociations Of this sort have already
impe4iled war, and will soon end 1t;
and that more. complete cooperation
between man and man will end all
kinds of war, national or civil, ply
steal or economic. \
In the end, perhaps, the two, schools
are not so far apart. One puts the
emphasis upon liberty, the other upon
unity. We shall probably have both,
in the society Of the future. If either
is lacking now, in this iron economic
system, 1t is liberty. If either will
be sacrificed by cooperative organi-
zation of society it will not be lib
erty. Those who are dreaming of a
happier society, and fighting for their
dreams, are not fighting for less free
dom. Freedom is the breath of a
rebels nostrils. They are strugg Cling
for greater liberty for all men, lib
erty of self-eXpression. liberty Of self
development, liberty, natural and UNI
confined. The liberty of today is
bound about by economic chains; the
liberty of tomorrow will be circum-
scribed only by the rights Of others.
This is what DIR. Jordan wants, and
has been working for all his life. If
there is a flaw in his thinking it is
in the failure to see that for every
freedom we surrender in cooperation
We shall gain a greater freedom.
