order and for every white convict fol
felony in Georgia I will show ten in
Massachusetts, and twelve ia New
York in an equal number Of population.
Those are the tables from the last cen.
sus. We have but two white female
convicts in Georgia. There are hun
dreds in New York. And the state
board of charities Of Massachusetts, in
summing up their report uses this Ian.
/ guage, ,"And now we find that there is
hardly q country in the civilized world
where atrocious and fragrant crime is
| so common as in Massachusetts,"
Now I am not arraigning any north
ern State for its sad condition, but am
defending the South from slanderous
assertions concerning its morals-not
only its morals but its good, industrious
citizenship. For every pauper and
every tramp that can be found in
Georgia I will show you fifty in New
York and nearly as many IN any
northern State. Ifidleness is the pa
! rent of vice as Ben Franklin said, then
our people are not idle, nor is ''over the
hills to the poorhouse" any song Of
ours.
No, the red-handed staggering bull
lies are not domiciled among our peo-
pie, but woe be to the negro or the
white man WHO violates the sanctity
of the household. How low down this
sanctity caE fall know not, but Mr..
Stetson, the statesman of Massachu-
setts, says in his report, "Within the
last ten years divorces have Increased
three times as fast as marriages, not
counting the separations that do not
get into the courts and now it is stated
that not more than eight families in
ten have preserved the honor and puri-
ty of the marriage relation"
This is enough on the subject Of that
myth called the southern bully. AS
to the lynchings for outrage and the
murder of child, DR.. Haygood tender
Iy says, "It is an emotional insanity,
and if it was my child who had been
thus dismem bered I, too, might have
gone into insanity that would have
never ended"
There it is ina nutshell. Does any
one think that father would say,
"No, let US wait; let the law take its
course" Could he say it while look
ing upon the violated and nutilated
corpse of a darling child? I confess
that I could not and would not. Let
me be classed with the bullies for this,
but this only. In all other things let
the law reign supreme. Outrage and
murder com bined removes the brute at
once from the human code and places
him along with the wild beasts, with
mad dogs and hyenas. If a burglar
enters my room in the night I may
shoot him before be takes my watch or
while he is taking it, or as ne jumps
from the window to make his escape.
I may continue to shoot at him and to
kill him if I can, even though do not
know whether be has my watch or
not. What is that but lynching--
lynching by oue-and execution with
out trial by jury. But for crime in
fnitely more horrible it is said that we
must await the laws dalay, even
though caught in the act. l have no
patience with such theories, nor would
I trust MI. Page nor Judge B!eckley
nor Governor Northen to carry them
out in case that came home to his
house and bis heart. BILL ARP.

Just full OF Improvements DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. To begin
with, they're the smallest, and easiest
to take. They're tiny, sugar coated
anti-billious granules, scarcely larger
than mustard seeds. Every child is
ready for them.
Then, after they're taken, instead of
disturbing and shocking the system,
they act in a mild, easy, and natural
way. There's no chance for any reac-
ton afterward. Their help lasts. Con-
stipatiop, indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
Sick or Bilious Headaches, and all de-
rangements of the liver, stomach and
bowels, are promptly relieved and per-
manestly cured.
They're put up in glass vials, which
keep them always fresh and reliable,
unlike the ordinary pills in wooden or
pasteboard boxes.
And they're the cheapest pill you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give sat-
isfaction, or your money is returned.
You pay only for the good you get.

The Pleasureville team and the
Frankforts crossed bats at Lake Park
Tuesday. The game was very inter
esting from start to finish, and pretty
plays and hard hits were numerous.
Both teams were BANKED in the first
three innings. In the fourth the
home team made two runs, and were
never headed, though in the seventh
inning it looked like the visitors
would win. They struck one of their
famous batting streaks, and ham
mered out eight runs. In the eighth
and ninth neither side scored, and the
game closed as follows:

Smarting under the defeat given
their nine by the Frankforts, on their
own grounds, week before last, the
managers of the Lexington club went
to work to get together a nine which
would down our boys. They employ
ed the best amateurs and ex-profes-
sional players in Cincinnati and Louis
vile, and succeeded in organizing
first rate team. They came down
here on Friday afternoon Of last
week, thirsting for revenge and they
got it, for they caught the home team
on an off day. The game had hardly
started before the Frankforts went to
pieces and piled up long string of
errors. Our best players seemed to
have lost their cunning and, try as
they might, they did not seem to be
able to hit the side of house or stop
q hog in a lane, much less bat or
catch ball. 1t looked like dead
cinch for Lexington until the eighth
inning, when the Frankforts pulled
themselves together and made five
runs, but it was too late and the game
ended with a record of 10 to made
against us.
Saturday the managers very un-
wisely gathered together weaker

day before, went to Lexington and
were almost anihilated by the base
ball aggregation of that city-the

situated to each other have formed
themselves into a union, and are meet
ing every three months with some one
of the Alliances; and we think tits pro-
ductive of great good to the Order, az
we are getting better acquainted with
each other and the plans Of each, and
we feel more encouraged at every
meeting. Our programme is first to
have an address by some oGe Of our re-

valuable lessons of information. After
feasting our minds on the good doc
trine, we then spread the table and
partake of wholesome food that our
good wives and daughters 60 willingly

faith and order to join us. We then
have a private meeting where the
brethren make reports of the condition
