Overtaken by Law
After Lapse Of Years

Judge Davenport Of the county court
cited an instance this morning which
while 1t shows that justice even
though long delayed, will in the most
instances oyertake an evil doer, bears
the distinction Of carrying the heav-
fest penalty ever known to have been
given an offender after many years
had elapsed between the time OF the
commission of the crime and the trial
of the accused.
In Franklin county, Texas, Judge
Bayenport's old home, negro killed 8
white woman in 1892. He was apnre
hended but never brought to trial on
account Of !nsufficiency Of evidence
upon~wffch to convict This insuflic-
lency OF evidence was SO palpabe that
mob violence was not thought of.
However, officers of the law always
thought the negro guilty and during
all the time which has passed since
the murder was committed, down to
the present, cases have been held on
the negro while each succeeding set
Of officers have worked in an effort
to secure sufficient evidence to gain
verdict of guilty.
A short time ago this evidence was
obtamed, the negro was arrested and
put on trial and few days ago
jury brought In verdict of guilty andI
assessed his punishment at 30 years
in the penitentiary.

only Remedy for seIfishness.

ObtJ TIfitbJ W SCtHoHUIo1s
What Is most pitiful and at the
same time amusing about the people
who give themselves upto selfishness
Is their habit OF referring the whole
universe TO themselves. It is as II
they were at the center. with all life
radiating about them. Through their
false sense OF adjustment they find
themselves. continually subjected to
disappointing and irritating and dis.
piriting adventures. Attitude. re.
marks, behavior, perhaps not in the
least related to themselves, they cause
to assume an imaginary relation.
Their feelings are likely to be in a
continual state Of turmoil. They en-
courage it by persisting in the belief
that the trouble lies outside. And yet
the remedy is a'NAys waiting for them
in their consciousness. To make life
over they need only to make over
themselves.

that already changes of considerable
Importance have been announced on
the southern lines of the same COM
pGny, the expectation is that within
the next few days there will be de-
velopments of a local nature and
interest.
The rumors have been in circula-
ton a month or more that important
changes ara to be made among the
officials, high and low, of the road. SO
far nobody in authority has made
any statement relative to the rumors,
except insofar as concerns the orders
actually issued. The explanation has
been mace by high officers of the
road, however. that whatever changes
are being made OR are to be made,
will be with the view Of reducing the
expenses of the management and
operation Of the road.
Official announcement has already
been made that H. D. Earle. hereto
