Chiof Justice Lore, of the Dela ware Supreme Court, delivered a strong charge to a grand jury, which was considering tho criminal work of tho county courts. After reciting tho details of the murder on June 15, of Helen Bishop by George White and the subsequent lynching of White by a mob, Justice Lore said : "Wo have heard of lynching as a punishment for horse stealing in tire South and West, and for homicides, rapes and other crimes elsewhere ; but wo flattered ourselves that such scenes could not occur in our com munity, composed as it is, largely of that good old English stock whoso obedience to law has been ono of tho secrets of our civilization and of the safety of our people. "Wo are now confronted, however, with this crime and must meet it. Shall we invite its visitation in the futuro by acquiescence in its perpe tration, or make such crime hereafter improbable, if not impossible, by dealing out adequate punishment ? No good citizens, we are persuaded, oan regard the lynching of George White in any other light than as a brutal crime, and ns a flagrant viola tion of tho law. "Gentlemen, in this country, we mako the laws ; they aro our will formally expressed. It is tho duty of every good man to obey tho law himself and to seo to it that it is obeyed by others as far as ho may. Lynching is a crime against tho law of both God and man. Every wilful participant in such an act is a murderer. No man has a right to commit that crime because he be lieves or fears that some other per son who is intrusted with the execu tion of the law will fail, or has failed in the performance of his ditty. Lynching and mob law, their pro moters and encouragera, whether they ho of high or low degree, should receive no favor at the hand of thoughtful and patriotic men. There must be government or no govern ment. The line of cleavage is clear. All history teaches that the preva lence of mob law is the end of free government. Obedience to tho law is the life-breath of our republic "In obedience to tho oath you have taken and to your duty to your State, we ask you to so act that thc crime of lynching may be suppressed in this State so far as by your action that end may bo attained and that tho perpetrators of this crime and thc authors of the disgrace that has come upon us through their crime, shall be dealt with according to their merits." -?* . a* " ^ Used for Pneumonia.

In the larger cities there has been a marked increase in diseases affecting the organs of respiration, which increase is attributed to thc prevalence of influ enza. Persons who are recovering from grip or influenza are in a weak condition and pectdiarly liable to pulmonary dis ease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures coughs, bronchitis, lung "trouble" and other diseases of the organs of res piration. It i? the best tonic medicine For those whose strength and vitality have l>een exhausted by an attack of grip. It purifies the blood, cleansing it of the poisonous accumulations which breed and feed disease. It gives increased ac tivity to the blood-making glands, and so increases the snpply of pure blood, rich with the red corpuscles of health. "A w ;rd for your 'Golden Medical Discov ery,'" writes Mrs. R. A. Bender, of Keene, Coihoctou Co., Ohio. "We have been using it ?s ? family medicine for more than four years. As a cough remedy and blood . purifier there ls m.Olm? better, and after having- the grip Dr. Pierce's Oolden Medical Discovery ls just th? right medicine for a complete bracing up."

After a trial, lasting eight days, the jury in the case of Curtis Jett, charged with the murder of Town Marshal Thomas Cookrill, at Jack son, Ky., July 21, 1902, Tuesday evening, rendered a vordiot of guilty and fixed the punishment at deatli. When the jury entered the court room, after agreeing on a verdict, quiet reigned for a few moments. Jott s mother had gono away earlier, undor the impression that no verdict would bo reached. The reading of tho verdict did not affect Jett, but his brother was very much distressed. Elijah McKinney served as foreman of the jury, and, after the delivering of the verdict to the Court, the jury was polled. The death sentence was then read to Jett, after which he was given over to tho custody of the deputy sheriffs. Tim has been the second trial of Curtis Jett on the charge of murder. In the first trial for the murder of J. 13. Marcum, Jctt and Thomas White wero sen tenced to lifo imprisonment. The jurors agreed among them selves not to divulge the proceed ings in tho jury room. One juror, however, stated that for four ballots eleven jurors voted for the death penalty and ono for a lifo sentence All agreed on the fifth ballot. A New Jersey Editor's Testimoney. M. T.

Here is what he said about the local news paper in a recent issue and wo agree with him : lt is to the interest of every town to support a good newspaper, not through local pride alone, but for thorough practical business reasons. A newspaper ia constantly doing ten times aa much for its town as it could over hopo to get pay for-more than it could charge for, if it would.

A debato on compulsory oduoation was the next foature. J. R. Lyles took the affirmative side of tho question and Mr. Huff, of tho Tabor school, the negative. Both handled tho subjoot admirably.' Address of Col. IV?. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen : The pleasure of mooting this largo con course of peoplo,. assembled to further the cause of education, is groatly en hanced by the invitation extended to me to present the flag of our re united, but not very unanimous country I This flag is to wave over your school, soon to commence its prosent term hero. Ono is vory much struok with the int crest, mani fested in the succeis of our froo schools now, from that whioh formerly existed. Tho population of the country has groatly increased, and with an active, industrious population, wealth is also coming. You have better school facilities, and gone rally moro acooptablo and useful teachers. Teaching ia now ono of the regular em ployments of the country, and a highly creditable and honorable occupation it is! Uuder tho formor system, teachers wore examined one time by tho Board of School Commissioners, and then they would teach as long as they could Qnd employment. I remember an occurrenco that touk place at Pickens Court House a good many years ago, and it impressed me vory much at tho timo. Rev. J. L. Ken nedy, a distinguished teacher, had boon examined by the Board of Commissioners of Freo Schools. Afterwards, at another i examination. Mr. Kennedy reappeared again for examination. The board in formed him that he need not appear an nually for the samo purpose. Ile re plied, with a bland smile, that ho would oboy tho law; and on ovory proper oc casion presented himself before the board. This was a raro example of tho discharge of duty, and we commond it to thc earnest consideration of teachers of tho present day. Teachers should be prompt aud manly in the diBchnrgo of their various duties. This course will favorably im press pur s and tho public at largo. There is norning Uko example In this connection I may mention that this board, five in number, have been fortunate in preserving a quorum until tho present time. .Samuel ll.

At tho suggestion of Miss Marye Sho lor, we now havo tho pleasure of pre senting this flag to tho school at Block not as an ornament morely, but as a pro tection to your school proporty; and also to the protection of teachers and pupils, and tho gonoral welfare Miss she bu has taken great interest in furthering the cause of education.

Joseph Singleton is tho toaohor of the Blook sohool and deserves great oredit (or the manner iu which he has managed lt. Of all the schools we have visited the Blook sohool is kept the neatest at ! ?ll times. The Youth's Companion pio turos are beautifully framed by Mr. Sin ?(let?n, eaoh in a different wood. This \ is the first school to frame the Compan ion pictures. The Blook school, it is remembered, scoured the third honor (lag last fall and is just now celebrating Flag Day. The Block Behool is the oldest in Ooo nee. Governor B. F. Porry is numbered among tho honor pupils of the sohool. The late E. P. Yerner taught here over I Bovonty yoars ago. Miss Tildy Hughs, mm of his pupils, was present Saturday. She oan tell of the old log house by the branch, and with pride pointe to the beautiful house on the hill, with neat desks, charts and handsome pictures, and^'OM Glory" floating over the build ing and beautiful flowers in tho yard. We wore glad to seo so many poople present aud to count Ave or six teachers. Several requests have boon made for tho publication of Col. Thompson's ad dress. We give lt in full. M. it. s. :>bt. A. Thompson. poor scholar takes his placo in the rogu lar educational line and is no longer to be pointed at as the "poorest of tho poor." Thero is uo discrimination now. Since tho war Mr. Peabody has given millions for the eduoation of tho youth of the South, without regard to race or oolor. Mr. Slater gavo a million or more for the education of the colored youth. Then comes the "Ogden Movement" with a very largo sum for both races, as wo mulei stand lt. But, so far as we know, none of these funds are given directly for tho education of tho pooplo. They bavo boen usod for educating teachers, etc., and for putting education on its feet generally. The "Ogdon Movemeut," or fund, hos not, on all occa sions, given unanimous satisfaction. Wo notioo that Hov. Mr. Pell, President of Converse College, favors it and Prof. Morrisou, of Clemson College, looks upon it with suspicion. Wo presume our friend, Miss Shelor, can oxplain this matter to tho satisfaction of all. Tho press, as usual, favors education all along the lino I The Stato assorts that tho slogan should be "improved roads, improved lands, improved schools." That tho most important is "improved schools," and that these eventually will bring us "improved lands" and "improved roads." Thoso three issues aro importaut to our wel fare, aud should rocolvo our earnest sup port. Wo may have to go slow, but wo must got thero all tho samo. Recently some discussion has arisen in regard to using the dispensary tax in aid of education. Excited persons call this tax "blood money," and say thoy will have nono of it. Under tho law, as it now exists, "local option" may oon trol. Tho voters oan voto the disponsary oat or in, as tho case may be, and we favor this disposition of tho mattor. In our opinion tho dispensary system is bot tor for tho Stato at large than bar rooms. Prohibition is tho end of tho law, but it cannot always bo enforced. Your neighbors at Wostminstor aro get ting along nicely with prohibition, and they have our best wishes for their futuro prosperity and happiness. When tho patriotic citizens of that town want bettor schools they run thoir hands into thoir pocket s and put up tho cash to run thom successfully. Aud now comes a rumblo from Missis sippi. Tho recent primary in that Stato for Governor turned on tho question of tho negro educating himself. Tho white pooplo to do tho samo. Tho majority for this plan in tho second primary was about 0,000, hut it is stated that tho Leg islature is not of tho samo mind. Bo that as it may, wo regard it as an unfor tunate issue. Tho negro has already cost us rivers of blood, and also a great loss of property. Lot us relogato him to tho rear, as he now is, and put forth all our energies to hotter our condition.

Fine Showing Made at ?he Sovereign Grand Lodge-An Orphanage Plan Suggested. Tho annual convention of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fel lows met in Baltimore last week. Over 26,000 representatives of the| order were in attendanoe. The annual report of Grand Sire and Commander-in-Chief John B. Goodwin, of Atlanta, which waa read, shows the order to be in a? flourishing condition. The total membership of the order, which includes the subordinate lodge membership and the sisters only of the Rebekah lodge membership, is 1,329,956. The total revenues of the order in 1902 were $11,658,905, of whioh $8,898,220 were expended in relief. At a meeting of the Patriarchs | Militant ? resolution was adopted to permit the militant branch of the| order to reoruit its forces from sub ordinate lodges. Gen. M. A. Raney, of Marengo, | Iowa, was eleoted Commanding General of the Patriarchs Militant for a term of four years. The grand parade of the Sover eign Grand Lodge on Wednesday afternoon was witnessed by vast crowds of people. It is estimated that 8,000 Odd Fellows were in line. The meeting of the Sovereign Grand Lodge next year will be held in San Franoiso. The Odd Fellows' Orphanage. The committee appointed by the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of South Carolina, whioh met in Colum bia last May, to seleot a site for the Odd Follows' orphanage, has held in formal meetings and members of the committee have visited several towns, but without reaching any definite re sult except to make it known that the orphanage will bo looated in the town making the best offer. So far as we can ascertain there is only a limited amount of enthusiasm with reference to this proposition in any of the towns making bids for the orphanage, and it would be well to consider tho suggestion of Rev. W. P. Jacobs, which carries with it all that is necessary for the Odd Fel lows or any other fraternal organiza tion. Ile suggested that a building be erected by the fraternity on the grounds of the orphanage either at Columbia, Greenwood or Clinton, iu which would be received the orphans of deceased members under the usual restrictions, and thus save a large expenditure in the object aimed at, while ample provision would be made for all needy orphans. Such a build ing would be indicative of their inter est in this kind of work, and center tho benevolence of the order fully as well as a large plant. STATU OF OHIO, CITY OF TOLEDO, ?

They bought 4,850 barrels of liquors. From one firm they bought 1,800 barrels. In tho list are two names side by side, from ono they bought 520 barrels and from tho other three barrels. The latter must not have been pre pared to make a good showing. He will likely know hereafter that we cannot buy his liquor if he does not make a pood showing. They also bought 9,7? 10 cases of liquors of all kinds and ten oarloads ot beer. It is expected that the above will be enough to go around for awhile. In order that it might bo fixed conven iently for carrying they bought six ear loads of one-gallon demijohns and that nono of it might spill out they bought 2,000 pounds of tin foil and about a quarter of a million corks. 1 With high priced cotton business is expected to be very fine.

"Fighting Chane?." A man who had risen from ex treme poverty to make for himself a great name as a scholar, was one day talking with a friend of bis early straggles. "While still a young boy," said he, "1 was foroed to give up school. This was a severe trial to me, as 1 had been eager to learn. As I grew somewhat older, there mingled with my regret a distinot sense of injury. It seemed to me nothing short of in justice that others, who, perhaps, oared muoh less for knowledge than I, should enjoy the advantages whioh were denied me. "1 went, one evening, after a hard day's work, to attend a prize oratori cal contest between student* of our village academy. The various speak ers acquitted themselves excellently well, and one, later announced to be the prize winner, elioited enthusi astic applause. "An envious spirit took possession of me as I listened. While the oheers were still ringing through the hall, an old gentleman who sat next me, and whom I knew very well, turned to me with a glowing face. "Fine boy that I" said he. "He'll make his mark in the world ?" "Bitter words sprang involuntarily to my lips. "?It's easy enough-for himl' I whispered hoareely. '1 might have done something, too, but I have no chance !' "I shall never forget tho look ol the keen eyes under the shaggy brows, which the old man fixed upon me for a moment. " 'No chance ?' he repeated. 'Nc chance ? You have a fighting chance at least 1 Are you a coward ?' "The words seemed to smite mc through and through. All my re sentment melted away! Througl the remainder of the evening I sal almost as in a dream, saying to my solf over and over; 'A fighting ohanco! I am no coward-I wil win 1' "From that time I began to stud] by myself.

COLONY OF FRENCH PEOPLE Select Location Near Summerville, on the Southern Railway? Press mention has been made from time to time regarding the efforts of the Southern Railway Company to induue French Canadians to looato in a colony at some available point in the South. A large and free traot of arable and timber land, well watered, and susceptible of orop production, fruit culture, dairy and stook farming, etc., near Summer ville, S. C., twenty-four miles north west from Charleston, was the prop erty finally selected as a point of beginning. The land and industrial agent of the Southern Railway visited these people in their New England home towns on Beveral occasions, and ad dressed large meetings of them, gathered for the purpose of hearing his exposition of thc Southern con ditions and opportunities. In July last a large delegation of these peo ple visited South Carolina and were afforded evory means of informing themselves by personal investigation and inquiry, aa to the real induce ments to be found in the historio and hospitable region of old Charles ton. Other plaoes, too, were shown to the delegation ; but so extensive a tract of land, peouliarly well situated and adapted to colony purposes ap pealed very strongly to them, and they returned to the North with im pressions most favorable. Several meetings have sinoo been held in New England, and many French Canadian farmers, business men and expert artisans have sig nified their intention or their hope of locating in the South. A Catho lic ohuroh, to be presided over by a most estimable and indefatigable rector; a parochial sohool, super vised by tho rector and his assistants ; a store for tho convenience of the colony, and various structural fea tures, will in due time rise upon land vaoant and unpopulated, but waiting only upon just suoh an 6nterpriso as the Southern Railway representativos have long since contemplated. The people who ore to make thoir homes on the broad acres thus held in reserve aro practioal, sturdy and worthy, not only as a class, but indi vidually. They deserve the kind in terest of all our people, and without doubt they will prove themselves val uable oitizens and desirable neigh bors. An advance party of these home seekers left Washington on Septem ber 17. They will bo followed from time to timo by other parties or families, and as they arrive at Sum merville they will proceed to erect thoir homes and clear up, plant and stock their .farms. With the advent of spring it is believed that quite a settlement will have been formed, and it ?B not improbable that it will rapidly grow and expand into a ham lot, and a populous surrounding com munity of progressive and prosper ous farmers.
