Ther will be more county fairs this fall khan any fall before. Thews also help. Let us all with one mind push all good movements along. In this connection the letter 'of President Finley.

He has given the matter careful thought and presents his subject In an inter estlng and suggestive way and as one who has intelligent view of the Im portance of good- highways. "PENNY POSTAGE" TO EXGIAND, Yesterday the postodlce authorities at New York were almost swamped1 by a monster mail for England. The opening of the fall season in th com mercial world wa one cause, but com paratively unimportant It was the going into effect of two-cent postage between the United States and the United Kingdom which brought about th deluge. That is, two-cent letter postage, for the agreement affect no other class of mail not even post cards. Bo people who up to midnight of September 30th would have had to pay five cents on letters destined for the British Isles got a rate three cent lees by waiting until later. Doubtle withheld letters for America similarly swamped th marl on th other side of the pond. Letter post age between the United States and England, Wales, Scotland and Ire land now stands on the same footing a letter postage between the United States and Canada. Mexico, Cuba and the outlying American possessions, Panama Included. It has become what In British currency and parlance Is termed "penny postage." That the American publlo appreciates it and would approve Its extension to other countries, yesterday's experience of the New York poatofflce leaves no room for doubt. nOW TO GET KID OF OANNOX.

Along th lin between North Caro lina and South Carolina and In many other parts of th south, cotton night riders ar similarly threatening.

One man. Invoking "unwritten laW or com other title to private reveng for In juries of whose reaUty and extent ha Is the sols Judgemurders under ths sanction of lynch law s if he weri a dosen. So light an offence doe much of the population esteem mur der, one of the minor offences, fa- deed, that almost any pretext suffices to avert punishment. In South Care Una a few day ago a white man who could show four men to his record and wss fresh from acquittal for th murdor of a negro whom he had la sheer deviltry driven out of that negro's own home and shot ia the back fleeing was happily1 killed while seeking to increase his string by a negro or two more otherwise he would still be pursuing his favorite diversion? The proportion of homi cide cases in which punishment- of any sort is inflicted, disgracefully bad for th country at large, Is for som Southern States fairly appalling and would be much worse still if only the cases of white man-slayers were con sidered. But among all the dteds. mob or individual, which have re cently Illustrated this growing law lessness none has advertised the South before the world worse than a recent affair near Albany, Ga. The story of that affair needs a moment's atten tion. In the southwestern Georgia out break the negro was not assailed .be cause of any crime charged against a member of his race; there was no pretext whatever for that crudely sav age demonstration against all negroes ordinarily meant by, a lynching. He was assailed on account of his thrift, his industry, his good oitisenshlp, his success in life. The wholesale de struction of negro churches and school houses was the work of men who saw with hate evidences of progress In negroes snd gave their lawless in stinct full rein accordingly. Read a partial list of the buildings destroy ed: Mount Zlon church and school house, Pleasant Hill church and school house, Christ church and school house, Little Zlon church and school bouse, Belmont Church, Mount LJetna church and school house. New Salem church and school house. "The membership of ' the last-named church," says a news ntory In The Albany, Ga., Herald, which makes plain the origin of the whole affair in sheer race hat leagued with law lessness, "is made up of the most prominent negroes residing in this section. Thejr own their own 'homes, and enjoy a reputation for sobriety, reliability and Industry. Tbey are, al most to a man, law-abiding cltlsens, and it Is difficult to discover a mo tive for burning their church and school. , All classes, of negroes in this vicinity appear to be very much dis turbed e-ver ihi latest outrage, and they naturally entertain grave appre hensions for ths safety of their homes and other property." ;- ,, Editorially our Georgia contempo rary strikes right out from th shoul der. "Night riding- torch bearers," It declares, "will not b tolerated by th law-abiding people of1 southwest ern Georgia. It IS a specie of anar chy that" is without excuse ; ?,ln any civilised country. This diabolical ex pedition of night riders has every ap pearance: of having been a demonstra tion against negroes, and the raot that the devastating blow "was aimed at theJf churches snd school houses. In stitutions of civilisation, - makes . the outrage' all the- more'gravating, A We ; ar glad t , read,1 f urthetr the statement thst ther fir ho enmity between th better class- of . negroes sad the better class of whites In this section, and 'such demonstrations as this Saturday night affair against the negroes will h condemned by all law- abiding whit cltlsens." ; I; V -.f.-- W gather, however, (rota all thai Tho Herald , fays or doeaot say, that there 1s no earthly, prospect vof any of th criminals being placed ia ny danger of punishment 1. vv.'
