KILLS DESPERATE NEGRO.

Dr. r. E. Lewis shot and killed Jake
Glover, negro, at Alton Villa, Tuesday
night after the negro had been caught
in the act of stealing peas and had
inflicted several painful knife wounds
on DR.. Lewis young son, Robert.
DR.. Lewis home is equipped with an
automatic burglar alarm. On Tuesday
night the alarm sounded, and DR.. Lewis
and his son went out to locate the
trouble. Young Lewis saw the negro
in small building adjoining the
garage, and the negro was helping
himself to lot of peas The negro
made dash for the boy and carried
knife in his hand. The boy struck the
negro over the head with his lantern,
but the brute continued his rush and
grappled with him and commenced
cutting with his knife. In the mean
time DR.. Lewis came up with a shot
gun, but for some time was unable to
use it for fear of shooting his son.
Finally they became disengaged and
DR.. Lewis fired one shot, breaking one
of the negro's legs. Even while he was
thus wounded, the negro continued to
advance with his knife upon Dr. Lewis
and his son. Dr. Lewis then fired the
remaining charge in his gun, striking
the negro in the breast The negro
died shortly after.
Glover bore an unsavory reputation
and undoubtedly deserved his end,
though DR.. Lewis regrets the fact that
he was the means thereto. Parish
Coroner Taylor made an investigation
of the killing and returned a verdict of
iustifiable homicide.
Young Robert Lewis has several
painful, though not dangerous knife
wounds upon his neck, thigh and hands.

HELP THE BELGlANS.

Readers of this paper have read,
doubtless, the article calling for help
in clothing the Belgians, of whom there
are three millions destitute of any but
old and ragged clothing with which to
face their rigorous winter. Americans
everywhere are asked to send help in
this form. Owing to severe military
regulations, it is practicable to send
only new clothing or unmade material.
The latter is preferable, as the scraps
can be used for patching old garments
Miss Zellie Lawrason, through whose
efforts large quantity of clothing and
some money were sent to Belgium last
winter, has undertaken another collec-
ton, beginning at once. Small SUMS
of money are asked for, which win be

FREE PASSES.

Talk of free passes on railroads, for
editors, is absurd If there is an editor
in existence who did not pay in adver-
Using for every mile that he travelled
over that particular road, we should
like to know him. In many instances
the railroad companies are indebted to
the newspaper for the privileges and
business that they receive. Turn the
newspapers of the country against the
railroad, and what privileges would
the roads have that they now enjoy?
In many instances the newspapers
have made the railroads what they
are. When the Interstate Commerce
Commission prohibited railroads from
issuing passes in exchange for adver.
Using, they revoked the constitutional
right of an individual or corporation to
trade one thing for another. If the
railroad company comes to me and
says, 81 will give you 5000 mileage for
so much space in your paper" is it
anybodys business but the parties con-
cerned? Legislation against such priv
ileges is the work of those who haven't
sufficient sense to appreciate the rights
of the individual.

 That thc President resents the fail- ure of Germany to discuss the respon- sibiilty for the Lusitania affair and other phases Of the submarine war fare that the United States regards as vital is believed by those in diplomat ic circles who have been following the German negotiations closely

In their withdrawal before su- perior forces of the enemy the Rus sians have shortened the distance cy- CT which 1t Is necessary to trans port endorsements and ammunition. The Germans and Austrians have also heightened their line of communica- tions.
