Bride Shoots Woman For Slanderous Remarks Elizabeth Lang, a bride of one day, of Logansport, Ind., shot and killed Mrs. Eary Copple, who at her wedding supper last week is alleged to have told other guests that the groom had selected an ugly ani worthless woman for a life partner. Mrs. Lang wue arrested shortly after the shooting and the police say she made a confession. She expressed pleasure at having stopped slanderotts remarks. This was an other case of too much mouth, and it brought fatal results to the one who seemed not to know how to use it.

The award last week, to the White Furniture Company of Mebane for iH^uipping the Grove Park Inn, at Asheville, will serve to remove the mpression which seems to prevail, that the South doas not turn out the finer grades of furniture. This award was made on sample contest in which |the makers of the highest grade fur- iture in the entire country were rep resented. The North Carolina samples were submitted in spite of the ad vance opinion of the hotel manager that it w^uld be of no uae, but his eyes were opened to the fact the North Carolina furniture factories can compe the best in the land. It was this Mebane factory that got the United States Army contract, out of which the South had so much good advertising. The Grove Park Inn con tract called for $22,000 worth of Mor- s pattern furniture, with hard-ham mered handles, some of the pieces stained silver gray.

For the The Kaiser’s sharp note of warning to the czar to k^p hands off in the Balgans and the renewal of the triple alliance in warlike fashion put an end to the hollow pretense that all of the great powers were working hand in hand to stop hostilities and restore southern Europe to a peace footing. The challenge to Russia is open and direct: Lift a hand in actual cham pionship of Servia's claims, and Ger many, Austria, and Italy will move immediately upon your works. Evi dently the kaiser has some assurance that Great Britain and France are not in sympathy with the plans of their ally in territory where tiiey them selves have no vital concern, else the mailed fist would still be suspended in the air in wholesome fear of rousing the bear.—Washington Post. Declares Tnat After Half Century ot Corruption and Misrule The State Tolerates Blease. The New York World says editorially; “Poor South Carolina! To be repre sented at the conference of governors at Richmond by a vulgar demagogue like Cole Blease! “If any other state after one experi ence had reelected as governor such a type of vicious, blatant politician it would Cuuse surprise. But South Cgro- lina is only fulfilling its fate. “After half a century of corruption and lawle '.sness, after 50 years of mis rule by carpet baggers, by ignorant ne groes, by crooked corporation interests, by political feudists and professional inciters of race hatred, it has descended so low as to put the mark of its appro val on Cole Blease for a second time. A governor who preaches mob murder and publicly provokes passionate men to open crime; a governor who appeals to the criminal instincts of men who need to be restrained and courts the support of criminals in and out of jail: a governor who flouts the law, scoffs at the courts, defies decency; a gov ernor who gives public notice that mobs and murderers can always look to him for official protection; a governor so depraved as to proclaim himself the adocate of wholesale lynching, who parades as the friend of men who act like wild beasts—this is the kind of governor South Carolina has made its spokesman. “For 50 years South Carolina has been prostrate By chjice it remains prostrate, and Cole Blease is its gov ernor. “Poor South Carolina!” A Fearful Indictment “Rome, in her worst days, neyer investigation on the part of Harvard I maintenance of the museum at the Univ^Hy and the Massachusetts , Harhis home “Snap Beans farm” near ” Board of Health, on the common sta-1 Atlanta a fund is now being raised and fa our highest social circles ble fly.

Hon. Chas. R, Thomas in commenting at Washington a few days past upon Mjr. Tafts civil service ruling says: “In one respect I think the recent order of President Taft was ill-timed and unfair. Since March 1897 the Re publican party has been in control of the executive branch of the Federa government. During ail this period, successive Republican administrations have been diligent in appointing Re publicans where they could be found to fill the office. These Republican encumbents ought not to be permitted to claim the benefits of the Civil I Service without having been subjected tx» competitive examination in the same manner as tlieir successors. “Assuming that President- elect Wil son has the power to do so, I think it would be entirely fair and just upon his part to declare vacant the term of all the ^ourth class postmasters and to direct the civil service to fill the va cancies through the civil service, and thereby give an equal opportunity to Democrats in the various communities to secure the appointments for these positions. In my humble opinion united effort along this line would impress the president-elect and would afford the most probable opportnmty to secure the modification of the present law regulating the appcintment of fourth class postmasters.*^^ THE~HELL HAG Jack Johnson, negro pugilist, last week married Lucile Cameron the 19-year-old wliite girl, of Minneapolis, who recently ap peared as a witness ap^ainst him before the federal grand iurv which returned indictments charfifing him with violation of the Mann act. Lucile has gone the limit, but it is jrst such a limit as black abolitionist has sought to incul cate in the North West for the past half a century. It is the ligitimate fruits of that darned infamous idea born in the minds of John Brown, and Harriett Beacher Stowe that lace distinc tion was a useless and frivilous pretext of superiorty of the haughty South. Old Mrs. Stowe should have had a dose of the medicine that Lucile has taken in her flippant desire to do something out of the ordinary and which will some day ripen into a desire to fill a suicide grave. Revenue Commissioner Royal E. Cabell seems to have set down hard on Judge Boyd, Judge Bynum, and N. Glenn Williams. He does not think well of these triplets, and no doubt like other people has wondered why it was that Mr. Williams social and family connection was of such an exalted character that he was not given the medicine a many a poorer been compelled to take for a like offence.
