Now wince the election in over and it

in doinff Home more mimimIjIo writing on
the HUhject of expaiinion, as a nample of
whic-h we quote the follow ing:
"The heMl wny to expand into make
better use of the opportunity which are
cIohh at hand, and to create others. The
south is practically an undeveloped coun
try. It lam forests, livers, fields and
mines which are waiting to be used. No

islands, lor there is plenty of work to be
done at home, and plenty of money in
doinu; it. What is needed w not more
territory away off where the sun t-ets,
but a more rurvful concentration of en

the man of vim."
There is unexplored field enough in the
south, und undeveloped resoiircesenough
for investment of till the capital that
could be found for the next twenty-five i
ye;.i s, at the end of which tinitt we would !
bo richer then if we had gobbled up four
or five gross more of islands like the
Philippines, and stronger, too, for the

How gigantic was the task left to the

from the fact that the burial and crema

Mr. Pritchard will have to use a long
pole to get Mr. Simmons out of the sen

members the manner of his election to
the senate by the fusion legislature. It
was by partly disrupting the Fopulist
caucus and mostly by corrupting several
individuals.
The total amount spent for public
schools in the State last year was f 973,

previous ear. This is an improvement,
but is still not enough to supply the
needs of the children. The legislature is
pledged to improve the public school
system.
Even at this date it is safe to predict
that the whole south will be a cotton
field next year, and it will not be out of
place to remark that, in all probability,
tbe price will be considerably less than
ten cents. Mt. Olive Advertiser.

steps were still audible. Being a fleet
runner, he wns soon in sight of the fugi
tive, on whom lie was gaining rapidly
when the latter threw away sonietliiug
which the prisoner stooped to pick up
and which, he alleged, was the packet
found upon him when arrested. This ile
luy had enabled the pursued to dart into
a thicket, whither the prisoner was fol
lowing him when overtaken by the sol
diers. j Such in substance was the narrative
given by Michael Tierney in very con
fused fashion when taken before the
magistrate. It had no weight at all with
; the coroner and his jury, and the prisoner
j was regularly committed to staud trial
for willful murder.
His heartbroken wife, once a favorite
! servant in my father's family, appealed
j to me to defend her husband's life.
"I hope you'll do what you can for
I him, sir," she pleaded, choking down her
sobs, "for I'm sure he's innocent."
Poor Mary could say no more, but her
few simple words were so earnest and
beseechiug that I could not refuse her
request. Adding what I could to comfort
her. I sent her away a little reassured.
It was not long till the case was called
for trial, for the authorities were deter
mined to make it the occasion of a swift
:iiid lerrihle example.
The jury, of course, only heard the cir
I'linistaiieeH attending the liuding of the
murdered man's body, the prisoner's cap
ture ami the finding of the packet on his
person. These, with the prisoner's pre
vious threats, made the case for the
crown, and a formidable one it was. The
prisoner's explanation, of course, was ex
cluded and would have gone for little
had it been received. I made what I
could of the few circumstances in his fa
vor, including the fact that no weapon
had ben found, and stated as a possible
hypothesis, sufficient at least to raise a
doubt, the prisoner's version of the facts
already given.
But the judge's summing up destroyed
the last hope. Before he had half con
cluded the prisoner's fate could be read
in the faces of the jury. At the end they
conferred briefly without leaving their
seats. Then the foreman rose, and in
answer to the usual question pronounced
the dreaded but expected word "Guilty!"
Poor Mary, who had hoped to the last,
uttered a heartrending shriek and was
carried out fainting.
The judge put on the black cap.
"Prisoner at the bar," he said slowly
and solemnly, "what have you to say
that the sentence of the law should not
now be pronounced?"
The prisoner stood like one dazed and
stupefied. The words seemed to fall on
his ears without meaning. The painful
silence which ensued was broken by a
gray haired man in priestly garb who
had pressed his way through the crowd
and stood facing his bench.
'My lord," he exclaimed earnestly.
"this man is innocent!"
Your evideuce comes rather late," re
plied the judge, with sternness. "If you
had aught to say, you should hare said
it sooner. Still, if you have any light to
throw on the case, I shall take care to
present your statement In the proper
quarter. , Proceed.
"I can only repeat." returned the other.
"that I know the man Is innocent."
But what facts can-you adduce?"
I am not at liberty to give them. The
obligations of my office forbid
