AFR,cA's koLA NUT.

A weIl-known medical journal is re-
commenting the kola nut as asubstitute

contains little tannin and not much more
caffeine. 1t is claimed that it viii soon
take the place Of tea and coffee entirely.
Mr.. c. G. Lloyd, the botanist has
made q special study Of this nut, and
upon this point said to q reporter: ''ltis
a mistake to say that the nut will take
the place of tea and coffee. 1t has On

tries. The koIa nut is native OF the
coasts of Africa, but has been introduced
into and thrives wellin the West Indies

feet high, which produces pale yellow
flowers spotted with purple. The leaves
of the tree are six or eight inches long,
and are pointed at both ends The

What a fiction it Is to talk about the

royal family. There could not be

Princess Of Wales is slender almost 20

THE REIGN OF THE MOB.
A Ringing Editorial on the Subject
FrOm the Organ Of the Baptist
Church

Cnurcn.
Baptist and Reflector, June II: Fol
lowing the terrible tragedy at New
Orleans in which eleven men lost
their lives at the hands of mob,
there has been an epidemic all over
the country.
In Tennessee we have had one al
Franklin and another at Columbia,
the victim in each case being negro;
The NnshUiLLe american, we are glad
to say, has with the utmost Vlgor anu
ability condemned the actions OF
these mobs. AS cOnservatOr oil the
morals of the country, we want 10
ioin hands with the american in the
great fight which it has been making
for law and society.
As we have had occasion to remark
before, mob law il no law. 1t is the ao-
scence, the Overturning OF ali law. IL IL
anarchy, barba ism. 1t is going back
to primitive principles, when each
man took the law into his own hands
and did what was right in his own
eyes, WITHOUT fear or restraint.
Civilization means simply tha'
men have organized themselves into
what is called society, or have qsso:
ciated themselves together for mutua
protection. In doing so they have
agreed to surrender the right OF pun
ishment of those who may offenC
against society, or, what is the same
thing, against any individual member
in it, into the hands OF Oillceri
appointed by society for that purpose
This is done for two reasons: First
to insure the punishment OF th'
criminal; second, to be sure that th'
one punished is criminal. Fol
these reasons we have our police, GU
sherifTs, our judges and our JurIes
whose duty 1t is made to seize, Try
condemn, il found guilty, and acqult
if found innocent, those suspected
crime. We know that ottentllne
these fail in their duty. Judges ar
sometimes corrupt, lawers rascal.
and juries venal or soft-hearted, =
that the guilty will escape the pun
ishment due their crime
But the thing to be done in such
case ia not to Overturn aud reVolu
tionize the whole system, a. is don
by mob law, but to purify the system,
to get rid of the corrupt admlhlstra
tors of the law, not Of the law ltsell
The system of trial by jury wa
gained by our ancestors III Bingham
only after much struggle and blood
sheed, It may not be the best posi-
bile. but it is the best that has beef
devised and is dear to the heart q
every freeman in the English-speak
ing world.
IL it be desired to change the syt
tenn let IL at least be done by legt
process and not by reyOlutionar
methods. Every mob in Americ
murders liberty in the house OF he
own friends, stabs justice in her oW
temple, and turns back the CLOCK O
civilization into the Park Ages.
