NOT MUCH INSANITY.
Edward Flanagan, a pris
oner in Atlanta . jail and con
demned to be hanged for murder,
made a bold dash for liberty last
Saturday morning as the guar4
was giving him his breakfast.
He had gotten hold of a knife,
and jerking up a little child
of the sheriff's, held it to his
bosom with one hand while he
flourished the knife with ; the
other. He had to pass the room
of the sheriff and his wife, who,
hearing the screams of their
child, ran out not standing, in
awe of the knife under parental
solicitude. They held Flanagan
who wj s then driven to his cell at
the poi.rt of the sheriff's pistol. ;
He has been respited and; his
execution delayed on account. Of
a plea of insanity. This rather
spoils the insanity plea. ;-.
0UR SOLDIERS NOT SAVAGES.
Gen. Fredrick Funston, who is
"by the way going back to the
Philippines on a commission as
Brigf.ji or General, said in a lec
ture recently in Chicago:
"Some people , returning have
spoken of the brutality of our
soldiers in the Philippines, X say
to them that they are unmitigated
liars. Our soldiers never
touched the wounded , igiemy
excent to dras: thenTout of the
fire into the shelter. " ' . -WOjhave,
never Vbejieyed that
our soldiers would, urn savage.
so quickly as some would have
it. Brave fighters are . usually
humane, truthful and honorable.
pur iriend, , the?Salisbury Sun,
qotes what the Standard said
about no opportunity to see; ad
miral Dewey tomorrow. It heads
the squib "Poor Concord" and
adds "Our little neighbor should
move about twenty; miles.v north
of its present location." Now as
"we understand; .it, . Salisbury
-would do as ....well to move 22
miles south so far as getting to
see Dewey tomorrow goes and
infinitely better on other ac
counts. We commend our stal
wart sister, however, to whatever
comfort there is m . "something
just as, good." -
