A DREADFUL. RECORD -OF CEIME.
There JLs one subject that will not
down. It Is too awful, too appallng to
humanity's interest, ;too Important to
society generally to be shoved. . aside.
It Is ithe homicidal manlia now prevail
ing In these United States. The Mes
senger has of ten pointed to the increase
of crime, to the cheapness of human life
in this country and lia Vast excess
over the crime record" in England. In
this country .the 'great sin and crime of
murders, of killing humanity is out
of all proportion with what It should
be to an enightened land free country.
Humiaai ltfe is takenj in our country
with a freedom and! a frequency that
are Tnot only alarming-, but are most
barbaric and Infernal. , The figures : of
homicides in the United' . States are
. really staggering, most ' startling. The
Mmphis (Tenn.) Commercial-Appeal re
cently published a table well worthy
of the attention, of lawmakers, execu
tors, philanthropists and people every
where. The record beats the cruel war
waging In the Philippines. It is posi
' tively appallng.
After noting that the record for 1890
was 4878, for '1891 more than. 6000, for
1892 more than 7000, for 1893 more than
6900, for 1894 (more than 10,000, for 189l
more than 11,000, 1896' for nearly 9000.
and for 1898 nearly 16,000, the Commw-ciaiet-Appeal
gives the following table

about the human sacrifices over in

"What are out courts alnd juries and

there any .aroused public sentiment
here in the premises?! Is the press do

"The people of Texas should awaken

Mr. J. E. Lilly, a . prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder
ful deliverance from a frightful death.
In telling of it he says: "I was taken
. with Typhoid Fever,; that ran into
Pneumonia. My lungs became, hard
ened. .1 was so weak I couldn't even
sit up. lis- bed. i Nothing helped me. I
expected to soon die of Consumption,
when I heard of Dr. King's New Dis-

I continued to use it, and now am well

its praise." This marvellous medicine

A STRIKING CONTRAST AT PEKING
The good name of the United States
in China has been well preserved when
compared with the looting1 and the aw

other foreign troops., The civilized
world has been greatly shocked at the
savagery of a part of the soldiers sent

a picture that served to bring out still

control. It seems that the ancient city

CURIOUS REPORT AS TO THE
"DOWSER."
From .boyhood until now - we have
heard of the witch-hazel twig, in con
nection with finding water. , It is not
coily believed in by many, .but 'the evi
dence to establish i ts ""genuineness is
qulte satisfactory. In the hill country j tQ Marh; and hIg gSitlg at an fearly day
of North Carolina the witeh-hazel ap- j The commission of navigation has pub
plication was very common when wells llshed in nla annual report some In-
wvre to e Tucr . The nroor nr Jt v-r-
viceableness was seen In the most cer
tain and! favorable results. We are re
minded 'of this by a report of recent in
vestigations made in Great Britain as
to thj genuineness and mature of the
phenomenon, for "such it is regarded by
men of practical sciences. The dnvestl
gatlona have been carried on and ex
tended through some three or four
years under the authority of the Royal
College for Science in Ireland Profes
sor W.-F." Barrett, who has also taken
an active part in the work of the So
ciety for Psychical Research, of Lon
don, and occupies the chair of experi
mental physics in the Dublin college
named, conducted the researches. He
has published an elaborate report. He
cites many experiments of the use of
the forked twig. He will publish fur
ther tests in another report. The twig
is called "rthe dowser." He says "that
the operator usually holds the Y by the
prongs so that the stem projects .in
front of him, and inclines upward
slightly. When the dowser passes a '
spot where water is supposed o exist
the twig .rises to a vertical position,
striking him on the breast. It short
enough to avoid1 hitting the man's
body, the twig will sometimes rotate,
though the operator appears to; resist
Its tendency ito,flo so. The dowser him
ser himself often appears exhausted by
his effort, even complaining of sick
ness or giddiness, and ' breaking into
perspiration. As a rule, though not al
ways, he declares that he experiences
queer sensations, resembling muscular
cramps. These are so marked In in
stances that he discards the twig alto
gether and is guided by his sensations
alone." ' V;
Eminent people as well as others, use
"the dowser" in England. Some distin
guished in public life, as Lords Salis
bury and Lansdowne, employ it. We
quote from an article in the New York
Tribune 'based upon the reports of SPro
fessOr Barrett. In 152 attempts there
were .140 successes. In 105 others there
were obtained 95 successful results.
One of the tests or experiments was
highly interesting. We copy the follow
ing: .
"Two sets of experiments have been
tried with a view to ascertain the gen
uineness of the phenomenon. lit one a
second-or third operator was taken
over the same ground as the first, and
the results of their divination were
compared. The scene of one of these
.testa was in county WickloW, Ireland,
near a hi called Carrigoona. 1 The
place was selected on the advice of a
trained peologist, so as to lack any in
dication of water that might be sug
gestive to a practised eye. A profes
sional dowser from England was im
ported', without any knowledge of the
spot chosen or any chance to obtain in
formation regarding it. First, the pro
fessional diviner was taken over two
fields, and then an amateur of note.
Pains were taken to conceal from the
latter the conclusions of the formeT.
Both, however, reported favorably on
one field and adversely on the other,
and they agreed as to the exact spot
where water should be found. A well
was dug there, and water gushed out
at less than the prescribed depth."
Other interesting facts and deduc
tions are given but we give but this:
"Hip. thinks that the successful opera
tor is self -hypnotized by fixing his at
tention, o nthe twig. He says: ."This
subconscious perceptive power, -1 com
monly called 'clairvoyance, may provi
sionally be taken as the explanation of
those -successes of the dowser which
are inexplicable on any grounds at
present known to science."

WETLER'S MRTnOD SPREADING
It lis not at all surprising that the
proposed Weylering of the Dutch re
publics in South Africa sends, a thrill
of horror through the United States,
and draws forth prompt and severe
condemnation. It' . is a monstrous
thought, and if worked out would be a
most satanic deed. We are glad to see
papers in the . north,' as well as in the
south, denouncing the intention to copy
the cruel ; Weyler's methods he appled
to Cuba so vigorously. Northern pa
pers of both parties join in the chorus
of censure If England attempts the
savage role proposed, and coupled with
Kitchener, it will leave atains that a
thousand years could not wash out
The thought -of such a deed of dark
ness is quite enough to shock all the
civilization of the, earth. The Detroit
(Mich.) Tribune says to its readers:
"The mere suggestion of such a
scheme to be undertaken by this civi
lized government marks the long stride
we haVe made in a certain direction not
to our credit, since the time not long
ago, when our papers, our pulpits, and
our orators were howling denunciaiton
of "Bloody Weyler."
But these outgivings that toe Wey?
ler methods will " not stop with the
Boers, but will be used by the United
States in its foreign wars. The Chicago
Record said recently, and it is an inde
pendent newspaper:
"Weyler in Cuba decided that there
were no Innocent in a land in insurrec
tion. He knew that every man, woman
and child was an insurgent at heart,
who might be depended upon to give all
the aids and comforts possible to any
force under arms whenever it could be
done. Therefore, instead of waiting for
evidences of action, he began his puni
tive and resrictive ceasures at once,
making them general and cruel as war
can be. Kitchener in South Africa is
beginning a course of action looking
towards a like result almost the same
as the reconcentration 6f Weyler. Mac
Arthur in the Philippines, learning that
there are no "amigos" except when
Americans are present, is under fresh
orders "to begin in earnest." How far
will it carry him?"

Prior to the election Hanna was hot
for subsidies for ships. In , some of
which he was of course very much In
terested. TThe congress may be expect
ed -to attend to rthis imported matter
structive figures. The boast in that
since 1861, the tonnage of this country
exceeds $5,000,000 gross tons of r the first
time. That! leaves . the Impression that
this shows great and satisfactory re
covery. But when analyzed by compe
tent experts the showing is not what it
seems. It is mileading. The Philadel
phia Record goes into an examination
and find that the greatest increase is
not on the high seas but upon .our
lakes. It . says that the "greatest in
crease in tonnage stands to the credit
-of the Great Lakes; the growth in ton
nage for the whole country during the
past decade was T40.342 tons, of which
502,523 tons was represented by addi
tions to the shipping by our fresh wa
ter navigators of the - northwest. . In
the ocean carrying trade the United
States are Irepresented by 97 steamers
aggregating $260,325 gross tons in ca
pacity; Japan has nearly as many,
and the Japanese registry exceeds our
total tonnage of the world's steamships
Is 22,369,000 gross tons, so that the Unit
ed States can boast of the registration
tender their flag of -about one per cent
of the steam-propelled commercial navy
of the globe." To humbug the people
seems to be the object of governmental
reports. You see what a fraud is the
Commissioner's report. But gq farther,
In ten years Great; Britain built '4,638
steamers for foreign trade, the United
States built a, very small number.
Look out for a renewed attempt of
the Hanna-Payner subsidy ship rob
bery scheme. That or something of the
kind will be pushed, if not this winter,
In the next congress to meet in Decemj
ber 1901. The robbers never sieep(
They keep; up "eternal Watching for
their own benefit." -
This whole business of subsidy rob
bery is wrbng, has always been wrong,
and will be forever wrong. It is but
another scheme like the high robber
tariff tax scheme to compel the people
to enrich the few already rich. There
is no reason based In honor which the
bread-winners and the farmers shall be
taxed for the benefit of the few thou
sand interested in the merchant ma
rine. It is not a right principle and it
does not by any means produce the re
sults sought or claimed lit so far as the
country at large is concerned. Sinqe
writing the above we find a paragraph
of use in the Atlanta Journal that dis
cusses "the ShlD Subsidy Fraud." It
says: j I
"There is no probability that a ship
subsidy will quicken and enlarge our
merchant ip.arine. The experience of
nations who have " tried subsidies as
stimulants of their commerce gives no
warrant to any such conclusion. In
France the! subsidy system has been
applied mote persisently and more lav
ishly than ! anywhere else and! in spite
of it French commerce has i steadily
declined. There are other striking in
stances in i point. The ship subsidy
scheme is an outgrowth of ouk" vicious
protective tariff system, an extension
of the practice of bestowing bounties
at the general expense upon favorite
interests. But the republican! party Is
committed j to it and the people may
expect to have this burden Of many
millions of dollars placed on their backs
as soon asi the second term McKinley
administration and a subservient con
gress can put it there."
We do not believe that any man is
to be trusted with the people's interests
who deliberately favors such ah immor
al unwise plan. Such plunderers are
to be severely watched.

TESTIMONY OF COBB'S WIFE.
Annie Cobb, being sworn, says: She
is the wife of John Cobb, i Last night.
(Saturday might) about 8 o'clock I was
in my house sitting down. ; My husband
was there. Jere Black came to the
door 'and bust it right open and came
in; (Ithe door was not locked,) and. call
ed to me and asked me did I have that
fifty centa I told him I did. not have
It. I owed him fifty cents which I had
borrowed from him. He went on curs
ing and swearing scandalously and
said I had at, and if I didn't, I had to
get it. I told him please molt start any
fuss, because I would pay it as soon as.
I got dt. He got to noising and John
told Mm please not (to go having any
fuss with his wife. He said he did't
care about any fuss, he. ; wanted that
fifty cents and he meant i to have it.
John told Mm if he didn't stop his fuss,
he.. wished ihe would go out the door.
He said he wias not going out because
he had gtiven me the fifty cents to pay
rent that week land he didn't intend to
go out until the week was out and he
would like to seje any body put him out,
John said if he was well he -would put
him out. He told John not to mess
with hBnv otr hie would put him where
he would not; waioe up any more. John
sat on ithe mattress and Jere struck
him with, a batitle and the! bottle broke
all to pieces. He reached on the mantle
pieoe and got a razor ; blade and -cut
him I don't know how many times. I
tried to stop him, and he cut at ma
once. John dald the policeman would
protect him. He said he didn't care for
all the damned policemen, there was.
John and Jere were scuffling, Jere had
him around the waist and fell out the
door. John called out and said: "Jere
has cut me to death. Tell somebody
to come here." He was bleeding free
ly.: Jere wenlt Off. Fannie Jones got
some water and towete and washed

him and Fannliet Jones-and some more

was dead wh!en the sdootor got there.
John has been Itivingf here off and on

here now three or four weeks. Came
here from Kinston, where he was taken
sick, and came here? where I could
nurse him. He was my husband. We
were married in Clayton four years
ago. I cook out fori a living. Jere
Black had been coniing to my house
pretty regularly since he tent me the

and triied to take it away from him, but
I couldn't do It. I ddOn't tell John he

after lie was cut and I looked for It
and couldnlt find .it. John said the bot
tle couadn't have done all that cutting
and then asked where the razor was. I
knew Jere before John came back.
Simon Ransom's testimony was that
he found the (razor in the yard near
the gate, in the grass, ; and it was
bloody. j
