Oh! Shining Shoes,

in a democracy it is fitting that a
man should sit on a throne to have his
shoes polished or, to use a brighter,
gayer word, shined. We are all kings
and this happy conceit Of popular gov
ernment is nicely symbolized by be-
ing, for these shining moments, SO
many kings together, each on his sim.
liar throne and with slave at his
feet The democratic idea suffers a
little from the difficulty of realizing
that the slave is also king, yet gains
little from the fair custom of the
livelier monarchs to turn from left foot
to right and from right to left, SO
that, within human limbs, neither shoe
shall be undemocratically shined
first."-Ralph Bergengren, in the Gen.
tury.

Up THROUGH Difficulty.

Tell me the name Of one man who
has really made good without hard
ships, struggles and suffering. Any
time you make up your mind that there
Is no use in further trying, and that
you will wait for some opportunity to
come along, call out the reserves and
have the whole force club you into ac-
ton. If you have any idea that you
can make success sitting down, while
men of mental energy and great physi-
cal strength are working for all they
are worth, you have one more guess
coming. If you are not ready and
willing to fight, and fight hard, you are
in the middle of the stream, near the
falls. It's all easy with you now,
and will be-until you strike the rocks.

HOW BALFoUR MISSED THE
MAIDEN.

A LEXANDER BALFOUR was born
N at the seat of his father. Lord Bur-
leigh. near Kinross, in the year 1857,
and in all Scotland there was no infant
with fairer prospects. His father was a
great man, there were great people
among his uncles and cousins and
aunts. Among his distinguished and
powerful relatives were the duke of
Argyle and the earl of Stair. So AL
exander, as he grew up, Draw gal
liant, dreamed dreams of glory.
In the fullness of time he went to
the University of st. Andrew, where
he distinguished himself for intelli-
gence and zeal. His teachers admired
him so much they predicted great
things for him, and said he would
have been destined to greatness, even
had be been born a plebeian. Then
one day the university shut down for
brief season, and Aleck went home
for a vacation. And, having reached
his ancestral hall, the first thing he
did was to fall in love with Anne Rob-
ertson, the governess of his little sis
ters. The chroniclers say that Anne
was passing fair, and as wise as a SER
pent. She tried to discourage Alexis
infatuation. She handed him the Ice
tongs in every way she could, but the
young man was determined to marry
her.
Then his father, old Lord Burleigh,
got wise to what was going on and
put in his oar. He discharged Miss
Robertson and told his son to pack
up his traps and take tour abroad,
staying away until summoned home.
This was standard antidote for love-
sickness in those days. Foreign travel
was cure for many ills which now
are reached by patent medicines. Al
exander went away, imagining him
self broken-hearted. But he wrote a
The Elbert County tribune., 1916-12-22
"Very Calmly Alexander BaIfour
Aimed a Pistol and Fired"

letter to Miss Robertson, telling her
not to marry before his return. If she
did so, he would make it his business
to kill her husband. Then the young
man sailed away to foreign parts, and
the months rolled on, and eventually
Mr.. Syme came wooing Miss Robert
son, and found favor in her eyes.
She went with him to the altar, and
the twain settled down to live happy
ever after. Alexander's threat caused
no uneasiness in Anne's gentle bosom.
Doubtless the young man had forgot
ten her by this time. The threats of
lovelorn springalds are as idle as the
winds. So the months kept rolling
along, and 1t came to pass that one
day Anne was seated by a window
nursing her first-born, and a shadow
fell upon her. Looking up, she found
herself face to face with Alexander
Balfour. There was murder in his
eyes. She read his fell intention at
glance, and shrieked. Her husband
who was in back room, rushed to her
side to see what distressed her. Very
calmly, Alexander Balfour aimt d a
pistol and fired, and Syme fell DEAD
Then was Balfour taken to q jail,
and shortly afterwards he was tried,
and sentenced to death. All the pow-
er and pull of his influential relatives
could not avail him in this evil case,
There came an evening when he knew
that the next sunrise would be the
last he'd ever see. From the barred
window of his dungeon he could see
the instrument of death, the maiden,
which had been erected that afternoon
by whistling workmen. 1t stood upon
a knoll. SO that the plain people would
be able to see every detail of his exc
cution.

Harbor Of Rotterdam.

ROTTERDAM harbor in some ways is
more picturesque than the harbor OF
New York. There are no fringing
skyscrapers, but there is as much life
and movement, more color and con.
trast, finer sweep Of line and group
Ing of detail. The many canals that
surround 1t, the quaint craft that ply
up and down, the flying bridges that
close many of the distant vistas, all
these combine with the rich color OF
sky and water to make a whole that
smacks more of the seafaring of ro
nance and less of the seafaring Of
commerce that is the keynote of our
harbors today.

RAzE BOARD FENCE - =

HOUSTON CROWDS WITNESS Dou-
BILE EXECUTION OF
NEGROES.

Houston, Miss. May 13.-Several
thousand men, women and children
were spectators to the hanging OF
Fletcher and Chester Williams, ne
Igroes, who had murdered Marshal An
drew Easley, Of Houlka. a
The hanging was technically and le-
|gally planned as a private execution
and heavy board fence, 16 feet high,
had been erected about the corner of
the jail yard in which the scaffold had
been erected. Following up the con-
viction of the two blacks efforts were
made to persuade officials to conduct
the execution publicly. as, itwas point
ed out, the nature of the murder de-
manded that the penalty be made as
much of an object lesson as possible.
h Half dozen surrounding counties
Spilled hundreds of their residents
into this city this morning. ,Appar-
emily, it had been generally understood
that the double execution would be in

THAT the sheriff has failed in other
directions to properly perform his Of

is subject to the penalties imposed by

"That the books and records in the
sheriff's office as well as the records
in the county auditors office and cir
cult clerks office are badly kept and
incomplete. The condition of the rec
ords in the county auditors office es-
pecially, cannot be too severely criti-
eised.
1T will be seen, further, that the
county auditor, the clerk of the Circuit
Court as;well as the Board of Supervis-
ors, have been negligent in the OK
treme in the performance of their re.
Fspective duties and are subject to the
penalties imposed by law for such neg
Eligence.
II ut is evident that the tax collections
have never been properly audited by
the county auditor as required by sec

Accounts and claims against Goa

| The crowd, estimated at about 5000
persons, sprinkled here and there with
children. women and even with women
carrying babies, gathered about the
high fence and waited for the noon
hour when Sheriff Davies was sched-
uled to march his prisoners towards
the gallows.
Precisely upon the hour, a signal
Preached the throng that the sheriff
and his two condemned men were
crossing the jail courtyard, The crowd
about the fence converted itself into
a catapault. On unison it pressed for
ward and by sheer weight collapsed
"a section of the shielding fence. In
a moment more the remaining uprights
were torn down and, the scaffold ex.
posed to view from all Sides
This destruction was accomplished
in time to witness the execution.
The two negroes were led to the
stairs and mounted upon the gallows
trap. There was absolute silence from
the watching crowd. The sheriff al
lowed the spectators a second to take
in the full effect Of the scene and then
sprung the trap. Y
When death had been officially de-
clared in both cases the crowd dis.
banded. Except for the breaking down
of the heavy palisade, there was no
effort toward violence. Remarkable
quiet prevailed during the last mo-
ments when the execution was under
way.

Governor Russell has received de-

Baugh was recently removed fore

Bilbo, who was aetuated by certain
fumors in regard to Irregularities in
Sheriff Baugh's office. The affair ere.
ated much excitement at the time, but
finally an agreement was reached be

in allegiance until complete audi
Of the books could be made. In the
meantime Baugh was reelected to the
Office which he now holds.
The report Of the auditors is quite
