Mr. Rodgers had the courage and manhood to sign his name to an ar ticle when dealing in personalities, and did not seek to hide behind such non deplumes as "Jim Crow."

Several attempts was made by calling meet, ings at the court house for the pur pose of taking action in regard to the matter, but they all failed for lack of interest and we suppose Butler, if she celebrates at all, it will be away from home. This is too bad, with our beautiful lake and park we were in hopes that we would witness a big time this year.

The little boy, Eddie Curd, who killed his father, Cass Card, in this city several weeks ago by striking him in the forehead with a rock, and who was indicted for manslaughter, had his trial Saturday. The jury after being out a short time brought in a verdict of not guilty. The case against Louisa Sampson as access ory was nolle prossed. Judge Box ley prosecuted and W. O. Jackson defended. The plea was made that the boy threw the rock in defense of his mother. So far as public sen timent was concerned it was decid edly in favor of boy. Cass Card bore the reputation of not being a very reputable citizen, and of being very quarrelsome and abusive toward his family and the facts bear out the statement that the boy was as good as the father and the father was no better than the son, and so long as parents raise their children as Card tutored his they may expect no better treatment. However, whether Eddie was guilty or not guilty of the charge, society demands that such cases shall receive the fullest investigation from the prosecuting attorney, and in failing to do his duty on behalf of the state Judge Boxley would be recreant to his oath. In this case as in all others since he took charge of the office of prosecuting attorney, he has tried to the best of his abil ity to perform bis duty without fear, favor or partiality, and by so doing has gained the confidence and es teem ot the public. Since his ten ure in office he has had a number of important cases to contend with, and while he may not have been suc cessful in bringing to justice ail of the offenders he has certainly clear ed bis skirts, as he has prosecated with all the vim and energy he pos sessed. We take pleasure ia calling the attention of the readers of the Tms to the advertisement of the Smith Mercantile Co.
