The Case of Morse.
Petitions asking for clemency on
behalf of 0 W Morse, ice king
and l>ank wrecker, are being sent
- -to all the banks in the South by
friends of the convicted man. It
is true that Southern people are softhearted
and easily taken in by
Yankee sharps, hut it is difficult
to imagine what excuse the." promoters
of the pardon scheme could
offer a fair-minded, law-respecting
citizen for signing the petition, if
he were at "all conversant with
the facts of the case, as we reeail
them.
One of the philanthropic feats
of the amiable Morse, if we re
member aright, was to send ships
up the Hudson river in winter to
destroy the ice, in order to force
i
prices up in the summer, causing
the poor fever-stricken children of
New York's "East Side" to perish
like Hits for lack of ice.
. This high-handed act caused some
adverse criticism at the time, hut
people have short memories.
Ice-king, bank wrecker and
l>oodIer, Morse, defiant to the last
in the face of justice, crawls and
whines and cries "persecution,"
now that he is getting some of
the punishment that has so well
earned.

Roads in Congress will incorporate
in the appropriation bill about
to l>e reported o clause prohibiting
the Postoffice department from
furnishing stamped envelopes with
the names and addresses of individuals
or firms printed on
them.
We hope that the report is
true. Long enough time the
Government has allowed the Postoffice
department to compete with
job printers throughout the coun
try, practically putting many
of them out of business so far as
printing envelopes is concerned.
It seems to us trtiat the Government
has no more right to print
stamped envelopes than it has to
sell hardware or hats or shoes or
any other article of merchandise
in competition with private individuals,
In this age of aviation the
hackneyed term "sky pilot" obtains
a new significance.
Already the politicians arc
wrangling over the spoils of office
in the baby county of Dillon.
A citizen v f the new county, in
a letter to Attorney General Lyon,
characterizes the recent primary
election as "one of thev dirtiest
ever held in the State," and alleges
that lx)th liquor and money were
freely used. These are serious
charges and if founded on fact
there may be a shaking up among
the politicians rivaling the Senatorial
inquisition in Mississippi.
You never can tell what the
"Atlanta spirit" will move denizens
of that progressive "burg"
to do next. Recently* two deacons
of a fashionable Atlanta
church advertised that a prize fght
would l>e pulled off in the pulpit
on a certain Sunday night. A
tremendous crowd gathered to witness
the l>out and sure enough
the two deacons took their positions
on the rostrum and sparred
several rounds in true Marquis of
Queensbury style, boxing gloves
and all. They then announced
from the pulpit that the contest
was an advertising scheme to attract
a crowd to the church!

all of his life, having voted
and stood by his party in the trying
days oiMS76. He was always looked
upon as hard working, honest and
upright in all his dealings. This old
negro left considerable property,
which shows that the colored race
can live hrere and be respected, as
their leader, Booker Washington,has
advised them in several of his addresses.
