EDITURIAL NOLES.

For the last few days the town of
Grechsboro has been considerably ex-
cited over a small pox scare. Saturday
night a drummer was. taken sick in one
ot the hotels and sent for a physiciaa.

He was broken out all over and
the diagnosis of the case pointed
su strongly to small pox. that a

conference ot physicians was held.
They devided that the man should be
removed to an -unocupied house four
miles from the city to await develop-
ments. Some thoaght that the drum-
mer’a trouble woalaprove only a bad
case. of chicken pox, but the physicians
were right in having the man removed
to a sate distance.

Early risers this mornieg found the
weather very cold and that it had beeu
sleeting througu the night, put we are
blessed in that respect, for at the north
wud west the void weather is awful.

The Courts to Blame.

' The readers of the aaily papers must
have observed during the past week
that a feature of the news was reports
ot lynchings all over the country, The
like of it has probably not; before been
experienced in this country. The
lynenings are not confined to any par:
ticular section, but they are reported

‘from almost every State. Time was
when the report of a lynching was read
with horror. It is now not uncommon
to find accounts of two or more illegal
executions ina single issue of a daily
paper, :

This increase in lynchings is due to
two causes—the increase in crime, and
the slowness and uncertainty of justice
in the courts. Bearing upon the first
cause named, it is maintained by Judge
Parker, of the United States District
Court for the western district of Kan-
gas, in the course of an article in the
North American Review, that there
have been 43,903 homicides committed
in the United States during the lact six

ars. In the same time there have

been 72% legal executions and 1,118

Tynchings. Last year the homicid s in

this country reached the awfel total ot

10,500, or 875 per month. By way of
- gomoarison it may be stated, on the au-

thority of the Eurl of Meath, that the

number of homicides during 1896 in the

United Kingdom was 269, or 24 per)

month. The nomicides comuitted in
this country by lynchers alone average

15 « month.

That this isa mest deplorable state
of affairs cannot be denied. It seems
elear that the remedy is to be found
alone in the courts. An immediate
and radical reform in the meihods of
the courts, ivsunng certain and just
punishment tor the guilty, would  re-
gult not only in checking the lawless
executions, but eventually in abclishing
them.—Charlotte Observer.

He “confessed the crime and was

Until. It Brought Him to
Death's Door.

Mr. James S. Harrison, a well-known
and highly respected citizen of Cleve-
land,.O., was for years a sufferer from
dyspepsia and general debility, and in
his weakened condition, resulting from
the above causes, he had the additional
ill-luck to fall a victim to malaria from
this complication of disorders. Mr.
Harrison's condition was becoming very
serious, when he commenced to take P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy. Its
effects were marked and immediate.
Read his letter to us. Its earnestness
is apparent:

GENTLEMEN: For the benefit of all
suffering from dyspepsia and general
debility I beg to submit my testimonial
as to the etlicacy of your P. P. P., Lipp-
man’s Great Remedy, as a_ positive
cure for all the distressing complaints
from which I suffered.

My system was also full of Malaria
and my condition was growing very
serious; I] had no appetite, was losing
strength and was completely broken
down in health, but now my health is
completely restored, and I can eat like
a field, laborer, without the. slightest
fear of any serious results.

.I take great pleasure in telling the
world that P. P. P. did the grand work
of restoring me to my accustomed

health. Yours truly,
