was at this juncture that the wild

of allowing punishment to go as di-

thing, the soldiers had no other bust

fair warning of what would happen,
they disregarded it. while deplorable,
they, like the other violator of the
law, paid the penalty, and have only
themselves to blame. The attempt
TO mob the negro under all the cir

have succeeded through the over
towering of, or the surrendering OF
the protective arms Of the majesty OF

1t looks so natural and common
these days to see in the daily papers
that the Democrats in the Senate held
a causus to discuss certain questions,
but owing to the fact that President
Wilson had not been consulted, and
the Democrats not being advised as to
just what the President wished in
the matter, no agreement was reach
ed. The meeting adjourned to await
further action, pending the Presi-
dents orders, or wishes, which

1t was a sad and lamantable affair,
that men of ordinary intelligence,
and we feel sure that they were also
usually law-abiding, should lose their
bearings and for the moment give wav
to passion that smothered their finer
sense of duty to the community and
to the Commonwealth, making of
them akin to the ordinary savage for
the time being-tho the individual
sought, from 2 personal standpoint,
deserved the worst possible to be
brought upon him, yet from it all we
get the consoling thought that his
punishment is both near and certain
and it will be via the route laid down
by the agency which must protect me
and my family and you and your fam
lily in times of need, if protection is to
be had.

a score of others, the majority Of
whom we take it, were ordinarily de-
cent and law-abiding,. simply for the
protection of a worthless, self-confess-
ed, degenerate criminals life, is in
itself apparently inexcusable. We
fear that too many look upon the de-
plorable episode that transpired at
Lexington last Monday as being just
the state of case described above. But
ON the contrary, exactly the reverse
view should prevail among all right
thinking people. 1t was test and

was in the hands of the Court, in

perannuated list whose wont was to
go to the farm during crop seasons
and put in his time doing such work
as he could perform. The good Par
son, having a wide acquaintance and q
host of friends in this whole section
was much in demand for funerals,
marriages and that sort of ministerial
duties, so people formed the habit OF
calling a neighbor about a halfsmile
distant from the Minister'S farm, he
having the nearest telephone, thereby
working the esteemed neighbor as
ell as the pastor, to aid them in their
troubles. One day this neighbor Was
very busy, but on getting the S. o. s.,
after being called in from his work
by his wife, went for the Pastor, who
perceived that he was maybe a bit
tired of messenger boy calls when
busy, so he, the good Parson, told the
brother that he would have to ride
two miles to his home, take a bath,
put on his Sunday clothes, ride some
miles to, perform the services for the
parties in distress and then back
home again, but he was going to split
fifty-fifty with the neighbor, in what
ever he received for his services. At
ter the elapse of several days the two
met again, when the Preacher said,
well, Brother HUT, you remember
that l told you would give you hail
received out of that last trip, the
one where you came for me, and now
l am ready TO settle, even 10
more than the one half, am very
much Obliged, that was all | re-
ceived." 1t is not necessary to say
that the neighbor had no complaint
to make of the good mans division.
