Onyx Displacing Marble.

Onyx is coming into general use for
decorative purposes. With the forma-
ton Of syndicate to work the Mexican
mines and with the discovery of onyx in
other places its use has extended until it
is becoming one of the most fashionable
decorations in New York. Onyx is a
peculiar formation caused by drippings
mixed with mineral and earthly sub
stances under heat and pressure. This
is not an exact geological definition Of
it, but it tells what it is. Onyx is usu-
ally discovered in caves or other natural
openings and in mineral neighborhood.
The most beautiful kind Of onyx is
formed by various kinds Of minerals run

The Columbus Enguirer-Sun very
rightly says the record ofthe past few
weeks gives good ground for the con-
viction that something has broken
loose in Georgia. 1t has been a
bloody record. In nearly every Sec
ton OF the state homicides have been
reported, one following another, until
we are almost driven to doubt if this
is the good old state OF Geogia. More
recently, the stealthy assassin has
done his deadly and cowardly work
in the southern part of the state,
striking down his victim from the
covert or under the shelter of nj hit.
In Middle Georgia, we have among
our crimes. the brutal murder of a
highly respected citizen, and Western
Georgia of another, where the MUIR
derer, it is thought, under the press
ure of his deep guilt. ended his OWE
lite. North Georgia contributes the
case of murder by poison, the muir,
derer being lady moving in respect.

swell the list, but it is not our pur.
pose to specify them further. II
these and other cases the principals
are white. Among the colored
population, all over the State, there
seems to he marked increase of the
graver character. v hat is the mat

gage the serious thought of those

What are the courts doing for the sup.

May it not be that the laws DELAYS in
the administration Of justice are large
ly responsible for this unfortunate
condition of affairs? In how many
courts in Georgia do the dockets hold
cases involving the greatest crimes,
which have been carried over from
term to term, without trial or which
numerous trials have not settle /?
How stand the dockets of the Georgia
courts on this question?

ton that great reform in the ad-

WAS 1T LEGAL?

S"NsO @As AAippc hatseS Legal
Point on WOOlfOrk's Execution.
Was the execution of Tom Wool.
fork the legal execution of the court
that tried him?
This is question that is raised by
one Of Georgia's leading lawyers.
A reporter of the News AMI Adver.
tiser net Judge R. P Trippe yester.
day afternoon and the venerable iurist
began talking of the execution of the
notorious Tom Voolfolk. He
sprung technical legal point on the
execution of Woolfcrk as follows:
Does the law provide tol the exe>
cution ola criminal IN a different
county from the one in which the
crime was committed?
al was not trying to give an opin-
ion on the question, but had l been an
attorney in the case this is point
that | would have raised. You see
the law provides that if a crime of
capital nature is committed in a coun-
ty where Jury canuot be obtained tc
try the case then it can be tried in
some county in the circuit where a
jury can be obtained. In other words
tie law provides for a change of ven-
ne in such cases. But there i, no
provision for change of execution.
Up to the close of the war the law de.
manded that the criminal should be
tried in the county where the crime
was committed, in fact there was
constitutional provision to that effect,
but now the law is changed, aud a
change of venue can be taken when a
jury cannot be obtained. But the
law allows no provision for change
of execution"
"Do you think that would have
been a point to stay the execution"
cit could have been tried. You
see-I don't say that would have
taken advantage of this point to pro-
long the life of the prisoner-but in
order to test the legal point ] would
have fled writ of prohibition be.
fore the court to stay the execution.
and then hake had the technical
point decided, This is the first case
of the kind that ever occurred i'll
Georgia, and beings test case, a very
pretty one to decide"
1t viii be remembered that the
crime was committed in Bib county,
the trial on which Woolfork was
convicted was held in Houston coun-
ty, the sentence was passed in Bib
county by Judge Go5er and the exc
cution was held in Houston county.
Judge Frippe raises a very inter.
esting legal point and one that
might haved saved Tom Woolfork's
life long time.
But the execution is over, and Tom
Woolfork has gone to his final reward.
His life might have been spared
much longer it his attorneys had rails
ed this point.--Albany News aud
