Twelve men God mad them, so let us call them men went in to the jury box mid solemnly swore to do their duty by justice and society. Thi'io were ll.V names drawn and out of the veil i re t he deft use was able, by means of our obsolete and vi cious system of procedure, to eliminate ewcy one w ho showd the faintest 'park of intelligence, unless his mind was of a kind to suit their need. With a jury of that kind what tlid evidence am oi.nt to? Of what avail were the artiuments of the State? What weight did the sworn testimony of the best men in theconnlycar ry? No, the verdict was a sur prise. No on'.! needed to be t h e seventh son to have been able to predict the result from the be ginning. All that was necessary was a pair of ordinary eyes aud one look at the jury. Rut w hat a bitter commentary upon the state of affairs in the country it is to known that the administration ol justice is left in the hands of such men. Stop and ihink for a minute. Do you realize that such occuri nin es as this render less safe the life of ev ery man in thecounty? Have yon considered the appalling frequen cy with which the hau I of theas sassin has struck and the blow has been h vended? Can uuy man say who will be smitten down? Do you know lhat it will not be you? This is not a matter lor the lawyers and tiie newspapers to look to; it vitally effects every man who draws breath in the couunty. As long as a jury can bi' selected like the one that freed Hob Leonard, there is no assur ance that any crime will be aven ged. 'And the attorneys for the de feusi ! Each one ol them in his peronal relations is an honest aud honorable, gentleman. lint we canot se how they can ain any satisfaction from a victory won by such means. That they know the law 'twould be folly to deny; that they are keen tliink ers we cheei fuly admit; but nei ther their learning, nor their log ic, nor their eloquence won this case for them. It was their jury. Had Daniel Webster lor the State and Julian Foster, I he old blind negro, familiar on (he streets of Lexington, for the defense, l Ic result would still have been the same. It is not for you to plume yourself upon our victory, gen tletnen, but rather to regret, in your hearts, that your names have been entangled in a cause where Justice has ncehed so gn at hurt. The books that keep I he rec ord of the proceedings of the court of Davidson county to the eye of man are white, but in the sight of the Founder of .1 us'ice tlivy are blotted with deep, dark sioins the mark of innocent blood. Ghosts are gathering ar ound the old court house poor, I pitiful "hosts whose fleshhssj hands are lifted to High Heaven, j calling dowu vengence u p o n the friends of Caiu, who let their j blood cry from the ground aud tun. paiB tiymw.

There will, ol course, be many contributions from the masses, but that is Mow work, if we ate toiu lir-'bv ihe late of sevemi campaign funds now being rais ed in various sections of the conn try. Some fe.v individuals stirred up by party zeal, and perhap-i a lew federal oliice holders who ate shaking in their socks le-t tlHr jobs go glimmering, will swep the popular funds with widow's mites, but it will be the ' large wads, dusted out of the corpora tion coffers, that will tell the tale. The righteous spirit who tries to teach the meek and low ly that the man who contributes to cam paign funds in sunn of one thou sand dollars or more expects no favors in return has a very hard task. This class of evangelist, can not explain why some of the big concerns contnbute to the lands of both political jiarties. They feel a certain a mount of satisfac tion in the reflection that which ever way the election goes their interests will be carefully looked after. It will be admitted that there is entirely too much money spent on political campaigns in this country every four yen re, a n d that is one of the arguments in fayor of longer presidential terms. Tons of of alleged ' litera ture,"uiost of it misleading; are sent out broadcast over the land after being compiled by an army of w riters drawing fabulous pay. Regiments of public speakers are hired, and the average citizen, haying in mind the result ol the South Carolina election, will ask himself if spellbinders andcare 1 ull.y prepared "literature" am ount to a bill of beans. The Mvn Who Succeed ns heads of huge enterprises a r e men of great energy. Success today demands health. To ail is to fail. It is utter folly for a man to endure a wtvk. run down, half alive coiuli lion when E-ectrie Bitters will put him on his nht on his feet in short older.

The trail of Daniel Hoone isi blossoming as ths rose. A hand-1 some monument, of rock and marble is now being erected oai the spot where he had his humble cabin a few yards from the i ani ons oak tre-i, which, it is said, marks t' espot w here hi- fir-t I camped when he made his jour ney through this country. There isasingulnr incident con nected with the laving of tho foundation of the Hoone mon ument. Otdv the base has been completed. One day while the men were working on it one of. them found a pair of old-fashion bullet moulds. They had been Im bedded in the ground so long bat the wooden bandies had rotted off, btr the steel moulds were intact. It is now believnl that they were used by Daniel Boone himself, in early ''ays. and are highly prized with this senti meat attached to them. The people up here greatly revere the name aud memory of Daniel Uoone. The town ol Doone is highlv e luted over (he prospect ol a r-'il-road coining to then) soon. The depot site and the rights of way have been purchased, and t helium is tieadingits way along the sur veys made from Wilkesboro to ward this place. Some of the best peon's of this mountain coutry will then be linked with the outside world by hooks of steel, and a thrifty, prosperous and rich country in aprinulture and fruits of all kinds will be re vealed that the woild now knows li tile of.
