THE soUrHHRN OUTRAGE MILL.

WASHINGTON, November IA -
The Hon. Emory Speer, United
States attorney for Georgia, has
been assigned by the attorney gen.
eral as special United States attor
ney to assist Mr.. Melton in South
Carolina politicel cases. Mr., Speer

Mr.. Speer had long conference
with Acknowledgement Brewster,
and it is to be the policy of the Adj
ministration, since the Mahooe fail
ure, to ran the Southero outrage

Ielegram.
From the above it seems that Mr..
Speer is willing to Islander his own
people to find favor in the eyes
of the Republican party. 1t is de-
MED that there was any politics in
the so, called kuklux outrage. The
Athens Banner and the Atlanta
Constitution both assert tina, the
whipping was done because the ne
groes had accused Mr.. Yarbrough OF
burning church. The law pre-
scribed that no whisky should be
sold within three miles Of the
church, and Mr.. Marlborough owned
grocery within the limit. The
church was burned, ard after the
negroes accused Mr.. Yarbrough of
it, they were whipped. Granting
that Mr.. Ysrbrough and bis friends
whipped the negroes, it was not for
political offensea, but for accusa>
tons of arson, aud therefore it could
not have been kukluZism. There is
not Northern State but what has
similar disorders, and it lie unjust in
Mr. Speer to hold his own State and
people up TO the gaze Of the North
as being political prosecutors and
desperadoes. Such is not the case
No people are more Law abiding and
liberal and respectful of the rights of
others, than the people Of Georgia.

a MEDIUM IN COURT.

John and Robert Tice, brothers,
and jewelers. in Fulton stree, New
York, sued the editor of M6M and
Mattcr, a paper published il Pniia-
dephia in the interest OF Spiritual
ism, for $4,000 for libel The tac,s
which led % he suit wcre that
wear or 80 ago Alfred r. james an
alleged medium, promised to materi
alizo at a aeance which be advertised
to give in Everett Hall As he was
about to enter his cabinet to begin
the performance, the Tice brothers
seized him. and took from under the
back of his coat elk gown, eight
silk scarfs of different coIors, false
mustacbe, silk stockings, two pairs
of slippers and a 10. Of other forgery.
The medium didn't materialize that
night, and the Tice brothers and
some others united in publicly pro-
claiming the fraudulent character of
James. The Mind and Matter came
to Jamea' rescue and attacked the
Tice brothers veuomously and Bit
terly. In the libel anit some funny
testimony was given. James admit
ted the finding Of the toggcry under
his coat, and by way of explanation
said that be only followed the in
structions OF the controlling spirit
"The spirit argued he said, that
il it had to make garments as well as
forms, the medium would be worn
out, The spirits use auy material
lying about to cIothe themselves" =
The jury didn't believe in spirits aud
mediums, and James story made no
impression en- them. They gave the
Tice brothers Judgment for 49,
GOO each.

SYNOD

The synod of South Carolina and
Georgia was formed by division of
the synod of the Carolinas 10 1913.
the synod of Georgia was erected by
division Of the synod of Ssuth

first meeting of the Georgia synod
was held in Macon 90 the 10Th of
November, 1915, the Rev. Thomas
Goulding, D. d, was chosen mod
orator, and preached the opening
sermon. In this connection it is
worthy of notice that the first con-
vention of the Protestant Episcop4l
Church of the diocese Of Georgia,
assembled 10 Macon on the oath Of
April, 1926, the exercises taking
place in a wooden room used for q
court house--the town having been
laid out only three years before and
10 January, 1881, the frat Georgia
conference of the. Methodist demons
ination was held in their church on

portion Of whom were gathered from
the surrounding country, were or
gained into a Presby terrain church

der the authority of Hopewell Pres
bytery. The Rev. Joseph Stiles
was present. He was then licen-

THE COLOR LINE AT THE NORTH

THE COLOR LINE AT THE NORTH.
The Chicago Times has some
pretty stiff notions for d journal of
its cline and political creed upon
the color question. Discussing the
recent civil rights decision, il says {:
The color line is a social river Of
blood between two distinct races
that cannot be obliterated From
social lifo it passes inevitably into
political life. and there, sIso, there
is no potency of human laws that
can erase it. Government power
can make negro and the white nan
equal before the law bat it cannot
open to the negro the white mans
favor nor the white mans political
trust
The negro is q member of the
political body recedes 10 the good
opinion of even the Northern white
men who few years ago, were
loudest in profession belief in his
political ftness Ten or fifteen
years ago a negro was here and
there elected by a Northern consti,
tuency to some petty office No
one hears of sach an occurrence
now. As factor in the political
life of this part of the country, the
negro has been at last dropped"

MAHONE'S Wall.

Malone has issued a circular to
bis mythical party, so called Read
justers in Virginia, which is flaming
with falsehoods, bloody-shirt waving,
malice, revenge end defiant despair.
1t is declaration to renew the fight
in 1884 under the patronage and
countensnce of the Republican party,
with a view to overthrow Democracy
and to give to the Republican patry,
both State and National, victory.
But, alas Malone is dead politi-
calIy. His cry is the last sad wall
of defeated man, and he will sink
into that infamy he deserves.

THE OLD CRY.

Certain Republican papers are try
ing very hard to inhame the North~
ern minds again by raising the old
hue end cry of intimidation Of the
negro voters, especially in Virginia
The Richmond Dispatch makea con,
elusive proof that tho charges are
untrue, and shows that hundreds Of
negroes who voted the Democratic
ticket in the recent election we're in
aulted and abused by the Mahonites.
One negro club in Richmond was
stoned while marching 10 the Demo,
cratic procession.
The late elections showed ten times
more bribery, fraud and intimidation
at the North than in the Southern
States. OF the scores who have been
arrested for violation of the election
laws in New York aud Massachu,
sets, nearly all belong to tho party
that ia raising the howl about the init
midation of negro voters in the South.
Keep this in your mind, Republican
papers, and quit throwing stones, lest
they rebound on your own brittle
mansions.

TORTURED By ROBBERS.

Denver, Col, Nov. 16,-At Pc.
tersburg Grove there resides an old
bachelor named Peter Oslen. Last
night four disguised men went to
bis house seized Osleu aud threw
him on the floor and holding him
there, demanded to know where his
money was. He replied that he
had none. After thorough search
ing of the house to no purpose, OSlen
still refusing to tell where the mon-
ey was hidden, the robbers got vii
low switches and whipped him on
the bare feet and legs until they
were covered with blood. This
treatment failed to make Oslen dis
close the hiding place Of his money,
the men built large fire in the
back yard, carried the old man out
and proceeded to execute their
threat of roasting him alive. They
placed his feet in the fire and liter-
ally roasted them, but even this did
not open Oslen's mouth He was
then compelled to walk back to the
house. where g scullle ensued, dur
idg which the stove was overturned
disclosing boxes containing 5000,
which the robbers took They then
lei. the house. There is no clue to
their identity. Oslen will probably
recover.
