The "Way to Look at It.
Editors of newspapers published
in large cities can eifc in their offices
surrounded by a great population
and write editorials condemning the
lynching of black brutes who assault
white women, but as the Crowfordville
Democrat puts it, the fact is
they do not understand or appreciate
the condition in the rural districts of
W innp or-irl rtonoVitprfl
IliC DUUIJU> ?I 1TI7Q -IM.U
are forced daily to go about their
homes unprotected while fathers and
brothers are awsy in the fields toiling
for there daily bread. The trifling,
impude scoundrel steals up to
the unprotected home and with his
polluted touch despoils the sacredness
of a once happy home. And to
attempt to wipe out such a crime by
the life of the fiend by strong hands
is one of the first duties of southern
manhood. Yes, we say it with out
hesitation and with full knowledge
of the meaning of these words, that
? the brute should be given no quarter
?and when he has paid the penalty,
placard his dirty carcass with the
sworn face that Uthus shall the sacredness
of our homes be protected
against fiend3 incarnated." Preachers
* may preach and writers may waste till
the end of time, but the inevitable
truth remains that just so long as
tteoonlfc nrmfinrifi insfc SO lonpr will
HOeuutuw WM ?- w j ? ? CJ
lyncbings prevail. The virtue of one
pure white girl is worth more to human
kind than all the lives of the black
brutes who have lived since the world
began. In writing what we have about
this matter we want it distinfcly understood
that it is not through "race
prejudice." We have the utmost
respect for the law-abiding and energetic
colored man. We hope to be
of service to him in bettering his
condition. He is here through no
fault of his, and we would ever
assist him in being happier and more
contented with his lot.
. V.' A
Purgative Pleasure.
If you ever took DeWitt's Little
Early Risers for biliousness or constipation
you know what a purgative
pleasure is. These famous little
pills cleanse the liver and rid the
system of all bile without producing
unpleasant effects. They do not
gripe, sicken or weaken, but give
tone and strength to the tissues and
organs involved. W. H. Howell, of
Houston, Tex., says "No better pill
can be used than Little Early Risers
for constipation, sick headache, etc."

Some "Bill Arp" Stories.

Humorist.
In the "Kings of Platform and
Pulpit" Eli Perkins writes the following
breezy introduction, rehearsing
some interesting stories of Bill Arp
in presenting one of his lectures:
The whole life of Bill Arp has
been humorous and no man will stop
work quicker and more cheerfully
than he to hear a good joke. When
I asked him one day if he really ever
killed many Yankees, he said:
"Well, I don't want to boast about
myself, but I killed about as many
of them as they did of me."
Speaking of pensions one day, Mr.
Arp said every Yankee soldier ought
to have a pension.
"But they were not all injured in
the army, were they?" I asked.
"Yes, they all did so much hard
lying about us poor rebels that they
strained their consciences."
Bill Arp tells of an occurrence in
New York when he came here to
lecture in Chickering hall. He said
he was standing on the step9 of the
Astor House one afternoon with a
friend, when a man with a decidedly
military bearing hobbled up. He
greeted my friend as be passed.
"That's a fine soldierly looking
chap," I said.
"Yes; he's a veteran?Colonel
Jones, of the G. A. R."
"Did he lose his leg on the battle
field?"
4kYes; at Gettysburg."
44Ah! Repelling Pickett's charge,
I suppose.''
"Nc; a monument fell on it."
They tell this story in Rome, Ga.,
about the major. They say that in
the summer of 1863 Bill Arp was in
the Richmond hospital. The hospital
was crowded with sick and drjiDg
soldiers, and the Richmond ladies
visited it daily, carrying with them
delicacies of every kind, and did all
they could to cheer and comfort the
suffering. On one occasion a pretty
miss of sixteen was distributing
fbwersvand speaking gentle words of
encouragement to those around her,
when she overheard a soldier exclaim,
"Oh, my Lord !" It was JBili Arp.
Stepping to his bedside to rebuke
him for his profanity, she remarked:
"Didn't I hear you call upon the
name of the Lord? I am one of his
i
daughters. Is theie anything I can j
ask Him for yon?"
Looking up into her bright, sweet
face, Bill replied: "I don't know but
you could do something for me if I
wasn't married."
"Well," said she, "what is ilf
>
KaisiDg his eyes to hers and extending
his hand, be said: "As you
are a daughter of the Lord, if I
wasn't married, I'd get you to ask
Him if He wouldn't make me Hisson-in-law."
Major Andrews, a Yankee captain,
was telling some jolly rebs in Georgia
about his experience at Bull Run.
"The only time that I ever really
felt ashamed in my life was in that
Bull Run battle," said the major.
"My horse fell under me, and I was
obliged to ride an army mule during
the rest of the engagement, and he
finally carried me clear into the
rebel lines."
"Yes, I remember the incident
well," said Bill Arp, who was standing
by, "I found that mule, with a
XJ. S. brand on him the next day after
the battle."
"You did, reall}?" said the msjor,

bo promptly. "Where did you find
him?" asked the major.
Bill saw that there was no door
wide open ae he replied, "Stone dead
behind a rail fence."
"Shot?"
"Nc; mortification."

Texas, writes, May 31, 1901:

Has Entered Suit.
J. E. "White, a citizen of Columbia,
has entered suit against the county of
Lexington for $100 damages which
he claims to have received while riding
along a road in Lexington county.
"White in his complaint alleges that
he was riding in tlie rear of a wagon
with his feet haging over the back.
There was a Btump about 18 inches
' high which the wagon passed over all
right, but which caught Mr. White on
the ankle, breaking some of the
bones." If Lexington county has
stumps 18 inches high in the middle
of her roads, sue must have almost
as bad roads as are in Newberr^
r county. The suit is a very good argument
for good roads.?Newberry

of the colored boy who dusts his office.
"I tuck it to de post office, sah, and
put it in de hole."

Bubonic Plague in Mesico,
Washington, ^ug. 27 ?The marine

the appearance of three cases of
bubonic plague at Sequeros and
three cases at Bagio, Mexico. Both
these places are in the vicinity of
Mazatlan, where there was a scourge
of the disease last winter. The
plague infection is supposed to have
been carried to Mazatl&n from San
Francisco. The latest reported case
of bubonic plague at San Francisco
appeared on August 9.
Question of Negro Suffrage.
New York, Aug. 28?An inquiry
sent by the Evening Post asking the
views of leading Democrats North on
the question of negro suffrage remains
unanswered by Bryan, Hill,
Parker and all others excepting
Cleveland and Edward M. Shepherd.
Cleveland bluntly declined to discuss
the question. Mr. Shepherd stated
that he would regard it as calamitous
to the nation if the North undertook
through the federal government to
enforce on the South the right of the
negro to vote.

Tobacco Lien Despondent.
Richmond, Ya , Aug. 26 ?Tobacco
men here throughout the State are
predicting that the crop next year
will be smaller than any grown for
eome years past. Their opinion is
based on the ground that the farmers
have come to the conclusion that
prices will be poor, owing to the lack
of competition for the weed. They
see that the American company and
the companies allied with it will not
buy in competition with the Imperial
company because they use different
grades of tobacco, and therefore there
will be no competition to send the
prices up.

to the monopoly of the market
secured by the trusts, and it is probable
that more and more of them will
turn attention to other crops. In
some sections of Virginia, where in

farmers are paying all attention to
