r In Interesting Question. r;
Atlanta, Jan. 20. If a nian de
iberately spits in he plate ffom
whiohyon are eating, does -that
justify you in killing him? If
you ' onghn't to kill him, - what
ought you to do? And if you do
kill him what is a reajonabie
punishment for the homicide? -
These interesting questions are
being pondered most seriously by
Governor John M . Slaton, and
will have to be answered by him
shortly. , Not that anybody has
spit in his plate. Perish the idea.
If anybody v had, the governor
would probably have killed him
first and figured it out afterward,
at least he might have. But this
case relates to a poor negro whom
the governor met and talked to
on the State prison farm.
He seemed to be a cood ne-
. 1 11 j 3 i-
gro, wisn a Kinaiy iaoe aoa uon
est eves. Yet he was np for murx
der. and had already served
twenty years.
He sought out the governor to
ask him for clemency. He said
he had never committed any other
orime, and that he wouldn't have
killed the man if he hadn't been
jes' bleeged to do it."
Why did you kill him?" the
governor asked, and the negro
responded.
'Well, him an' me was working
on a job in Savannah, an' wheu
dinner time came he keep leanin'
over my plate. An1 I tole him
not to lean over it, that way, an'
do you know, governor, he spit
right in my rations, Dat's why I
killed him. I'm sorry I done it,
but I think twenty years is long
enough to serve."

Aboat Counting Chickens.
The Greensboro Record warns
Democrats not to count their
chickens before they are hatched,
and says : "there must be a change
of 600,000 votes fcr the Democ

sis of the 1908 presidential vote.
TheBe .600,000 voters have already
ohanged, as witness the 1010 elec
tion. They must change back to
the Republicans after leaving
themrfor the Republicans to win.
All the same, the admonition
of the Record is in seison. The
signs all point to a Democratic
victory, but it can only be won by
wise legislation by the present
Congress, a sound platform and

Breaks 25 Years' Silence. Drops Dead.
For twenty five years Louis Raser
and his wife lived in the same
house in Marvaville, Ky., without
speaking to each other.
Last Sanday, without any ap
parent reason, the' wife broke the
silenoe by asking her husband to
have a cup of coffee. He replied :
I believe I will."
Hardly .had he uttered the re
mark than he was attacked with
heart trouble and died.
The incident leadiDg to the
traglo climax was not disclosed
until his will was made public.
The dead man, who was a large
property owner, willed everything
to his wife. Hia body will be
cremated and his ashes cast to
