That the killing of Senator
Cur muck jot Teuuessoe was a
jjreujedituUd murder goes with
x>ujt s*yjug. T these Coopers

the deatb of Mr, Carmaolr, goes
without say iug. fli^t old ?!olouel
Cooper was Uie lender of the
saluon element oftlwa kitate of
Tennessee goes without saying.

Oh, tbe pity of it. On the oflo
fiand we tfnd Garitiaclc, stalwart
and undismayed. fighting for the
right as be saw it; and on the
other, Uolouel hooper espousing
the .cause o X blue ruin and alco
hol iu sgpreiDtuay.
This uilling, this murdor we
might more properly say, points
a warning linger to every self
respecting editor in t|ie South
who honestly desires to do his
duty Ijy his people during
runuoufe times. It should teach
lii'n that to carry out. the re
forms he advocates, when these
reforms come in conflict with the
scheme* of the interested par
ties, lie must go out armed and
? ?quipped for auy thing that way
lir.p pen.
Wo most sincerely hope that
merited justice will bo united out
to these two murderers. We do
nol crave their life in expiation
of their crime, for death is of
but a moments duration, con
)' veying no punishment mid ex
tending to others no lesson or
warning. Wliat is wanted in
) tl;ls case, as. iu a majority of
/ other cases, is imprisonment at
jiard labor for a period, more or
jess extended, Put these fel
lows to cracking rocks; let others
jieo them at it, and a greater moral
lessons will be taught than will
bo taught by cracking their
jiecks.
As a native born Southerner,
jwo deplore the spirit of lawless
ness displayed by the two
^Coopers, father, and son, tho
pile the assassiu, tho other the
accessory to one of the foulest
crimes of the century.
Farm Telephones.
In a previous editorial, we
palled the attention of the farm

tance of having telephones ex

.communities. We want to give

{ROME, Ga., TRIBUNE HER
ALU. J
'The question of rural tele
phonic communication' has as
sumed large proportions. The|
lime has come for- fanners to
realize the great benelits that|
would result to them by the es?
tublishiuciit of rural telephone
lines that would put each in
direct communication not only
with Ins ueighbors, but with the
nearest towns and villages in his
section. Rural telephonic com
munication and the honey comb
ing of the rural districts with
trolley liues, will do a great deal
towards relieving the isolation |
that now exists iu an agricul
tural life and a great deal to
wards making the lives of the
farmers more pleasant, and satis
factory. Iu uddition to this, by
keeping iu close touch with the
outside world, the agricultural
classes will be able to enjoy
many of the benelits of city life,
and at the same time preserve
to themselves the manifold ad
vantages of country life.
The matter of rural telephones
is being widely exploited, and
its advantages are no longer ex
perimental; actual practice has
proved that a trial in rural com
munities soon renders it ?? ne
cessity. We are glad touotoj
that a movement is on foot to
establish more rural telephone]
systems in this section, it is a
most admirable movement and
can hardly fail to succeed if be
gun and operated along proper
lines. "
Time to Call a Halt.
Supremo Justice David J.
Brewer recently iiKlced the chair
man of the appropriation com
mittee iu the house of congress ]
why it was that this nation had
not paid off any of its billion dot
l<tr debt in I he last ten years.
Ho received this reply:
"In the last ton years the total
appropriations for thoarwy jvecw1
eight hundred and nineteen million
dollar*. Of coiyso, I omitted
giving anything but round
ligures. This in ejtclusivc of pen
lions. For the prior ten years
the appropriations wore only
two hundred and forty-five mil
lion dollars. During the last ten
years the appropriation for the l
navy wero eight hundred and I
ninety seven million dollars, the
ten years prior two hundred and
sixty two million dollars, or no
excess in the appropriations for
the army and navy during the last
ten years over the prior ten
years of one billion, one hundred
and nineteen million dollars That
is why wo have uot paid the
national debt. "
Tlio bugbear of war, and the
war spirit and the army aud
navy aristooracy are yoarly
plunging this nation more and
Qjore. inter the .class of army
ridden Europe. It is- tune to I
oatl a halt and to stop the ex
travagance. The only way to do I
it is to elect poace loving and
peace believing men to the
highest oflloe*. ? Trawler (Iowa)

Yet, after all, as Christmas
daw us a change does eo.ne over
men. It. steals upon t hem gradu
ally, taking them us it were, by
surprise. Their steps grow light,
they wallf briskly, laugh even,
and have a cheery word for each
other. Somehow the streets for
that one daj; seem suddenly'to
swarm with happy people.
Everybody has become tolerant,
sympathetic, the grouchiest man
in town has become agreeable,
the hardest creditor lenient, the
severest judge merciful. There
is tune for reconciliation; for
forgiveness and kiudly feeling
toward all the world. It is seen,
indeed, that a miracle has taken
place, a miracle of great mys
tery and beauty. The hearts of
men are full oT love, and in their
unrestrained mirth tied luuirhior
they have become somewhat like
the little children.
Why is this? What has hap
pened? Can the mere printing
of a calendar with a certain day
in red figures do it? Can any
mere superstition have lasted so
long, display such remarkable
vitality? Can any sentiment,
ev?u though it be universal, ac
complish so much? No, it is not
that; it is because, for whatever
reason, men have . suddenly con
centrated their thought on the
great idea that Jesus brought
into the world; whether they
think He brouirht it from heaven
or found it on I he plains of Juried
does not matter; men everywhere
are dwelling on it, and from their
united hearts have sent lorth a
wave of lovo that rolls around
the world, and, for jMlay; at
least, , the brotherhood of man
bus come to pass. Who needs
an introduction to spoirlc to a
stranger on Chr:stiiias eve?
What (I i Iterance does it make on
Christinas morning if the man
doos belong to another party or
to another economic class? Who
cares whether ho is in society?
Wiio looks down upon him be
cause he is poor? Suppose he
is a criminal, in or out of jail,
what of it? lie is seon to oo a
man, a human being, just like
the rest of us, though perhaps
with greater sorrows and greater
temptations than our own. Men
have risen above such things;
they havo heard for an instant
the angels' song; for an instant!
their faces havo glowed with a
new and wonderful light, and
they have turned to each other
with brotherly greeting's on their
lips.? Brand WlnUock, in j)e

The mass meeting of citizens,
called by Representatives Smith
and Richards for November 17lh
to discuss the matter of jrood
roads, was held as advertised.
It was very slimly attended,
which perils: ps accounts for the
fact that practically nothing was
accomplished.
The meeting was presided
over by- Supervisor West, who
called up one after the other the
members of the several hoards
of township commissioners for
an expression of opinion as to
the proper way by the adoption
of which we .could secure ?;ood
roads. Much difference of opitt
ion was evidenced, all however
seeming to think that our roads
should bo worked on ti:e con
tract system. Supervisor West
declared the regular business oT
the meeting closed after ?.rivtnir

gathered during his incomhency.
Messrs. Smith and Richards
made brief addresses, and we
are informed that the meeting
was adjourned, the citizens leav"

legislators to tind a wa v tint, of
the present tangle. We will
have more to say on this subject
