Gov. Northen and Lynch Law.

The firm stand which Gov Northcn has
taken againss lynch iaw is being very
I genera nv commended. His announcement
of his purpose 10 use his power TO the
utmost to put a stop to lynchinrs i'm this
state will be one Of the noablo features
Of his administration and win have Il
powerful influence in checking mob VIC
lence and making people understand the
Importance Of looking to the courts for
the punishment of criminals.
The effect Of mob Law is demorai zing
and brutalizing One lynchine in a com
munity is generally followed by another.
Investigation would show, probably, that
lynchings do not check crime. There
fore, in all communities in which there
are courts and officers to administer and
execute the laws, lynchings are discour-
aged by the best element Of the people.
Gov. Northen has seen the evil effects
of mob violence, and has reached the con
clusion that he can render the state no
greater service than to do what he can to
make it unknown in Georgia. With
judges ready to administer the laws i'm
partially and officers willing to arrest
criminals there is absolutely no excuse
for it. There is here and there a man
who defends it, but he does so because he
considers his feelings rather than the
good of society.
1t is gratifying that very few lynchinCs
occur in Georgia, and as q result her
reputation as a law-abiding and peace
loving commonwealth is of the best
Capitalists and home-seekers regard her
with favor, and she is steadily increasing
in wealth and population. Her bonds
and the bonds of her towns are above par
and are eagerly sought by investors. She
is the home of peace-loving and order
loving people, who depend upon the
courts TO punish criminals and who get
more satisfaction from the erection of a
church or a school house than from a
lynching bee.
The day is close at hand when the tide
of immigration will run strongly toward
the south, and of the immigrants Geor-
gia will get the larger share. Home
seekers will go where mob law is dis
couraged rather than where it is excused
and defended.
Gov Northen's determination that
lynchers shall be shown no favor but
shall be prosecuted brings him closer to
those who love the state and feel a pride
in her greatness and prosperity, and they
will honor him as often as the opportunity
presents itself because he shows he has
the purpose and courage to do what is
best for the states interests.

Emigrating Millionalres.

Fears are expressed in some quarters
that good many of our millionaircs will
follow the example of William Waldorf
Aston, who has decided to make London
his permanent place of residence. This
country, it is said is good place in which
to accumulate millions, but it offers few
opportunities tomillionares to spend their
money so as to get great amount of sat
isfaction out of it. Millionaires here are
not held in any higher esteem than many
who have very little wealth, and not
few of them are unable to get the social
standing their wealth would secure for
them abroad
It cannot be said. of course, that Mr.
Astor was not admitted to the highest
social circles in New York He was one
of the social leaders of that city, but
somehow or other he was not particularly
successful in his undertakings. It is true
he was sent as minister to Italy, but his
appointment was not a popular one, and
when he sought an election to congress he
was defeated He wrote two or three
books and they possessed merit, but it
was insinuated that he hired some one to
write them for him He finally got tired
of the United States and is now spending
his income lavishly in London. He has
purchased a country residence, a town
house and a newspaper. The cost of these
things was several millions of dollars. 1t
seems to be the impression that he aims
to be one of the leaders of Lon
don society and to get a place
/ in parliament. Anyway, the
I income of his vast New York estate, csti-
mated at $3.50, 600, will be spent il
England.
If many of our millionaires follow Mr.
/ Astor's example it may become a ques-
tion whether it wouldn't be good policy
to tax more heavily their property in this
country than that of millionaires who re-
main citizens and spend their money al
home. Such a policy, if it were practica-
BILE, would have "A tendency to keep at
home great deal of money that is now
spent abroad. Mr. Astor certainly is not
entitled to much consideration from
the people of this country. His vas
estate is here, but the income from il
doesn't seem to benefit the people here
and he seems to think this country ism
good enough for him.

/ accompanied a friend to the capitol and
heard him make his most eloquent speech,
and afterward, taking me INTO his private

RECALLED, not only with oysters on the half
shell ana other tOOthsOme accessories, solid
and liquid, but with some OF the drOlleSt
stories that l ever heard, Senator Bayard
being, next to William Maxwell Evarts and
Chauncey Depew, about the best teller of
funny stories I ever heard
To Mr.. Evarts belongs the anecdote of the
bereaved widow whose husband had such a
large circle of friends that the company
which she received on the evening of his in
terment crowded her drawing room almost to
suhocatiOn. lady friend of the widow
edged her way up to her and. pointing to
something very bright and shining visible
above the heads of the assembly in "A remote
corner of the apartment, whispered in her

sOhhed the disconsolate widow, it's the dear

for more company The supposed eight-day
clock was indeed the ''casket," richly orna-
mented with silver nails bosses and handles,
TO which the dear departed had been con-
signed.
But in Senator Bayard is vested the copy
right of the story Of the two western COW
boys who had been to hear the lecture on
JunluS, and one Of them subsequently, i'm

into the lachrymOse state of inebriety and,
sitting up in bed, passiOnately besought his
companion to tell him who writ them letters
to Junius.' Nor would he be pacified till the
other cowboy assured him that he knew
Junlus very well and that he had made him a
present Of the letters in question, which had
been securely locked up in the hotel safe by
the clerk in the office below.
Likewise does there pertain to Senator
Bayard the terse little story of well-known
New York humorist who occasionally in
dulged too freely in the vintages of Epernay,
and who. being asker to dinner by Mr.. Bay
ard at his house in WASHINGTON was OBJ

home with him. to he attentively counting the
number of steps in the high ''stOop." or flight

asked the senator. Got to come down
again was the reply of the president humor-
list and admirer of Extra Dry.

The rabbit shook out few reefs and quick

The MORNING News will begin the pub
location Of new story on Sunday, May
IA, by Mrs. Baseley, entitled "Her
Fathers Idol" 1t is a sensational do
nestle novelof the most enthralling char
acter. Mrs. Baseley has the faculty of at
once interesting her readers in her char
acters. They are life-like, human-often
weak and passionate-but vet they secure
sympathy and arouse lively feelings in the
breasts of those who are following their
fortunes.
The interest of the reader in the fore
going story will be chiefly concentrated
upon Nelly Henstock, the heroine, and
consummate villain, named Mark Boyd.
The young lady is Is years of age, and is
the only daughter of DIR. Henstock The
villain of the piece is an idle dandified
scamp, the son of a rival practitioner
From first to last the proceedings of Mark
Boyd are of an extraordinary char
acter. He shoots a rival from a spirit
of jealousy He misleads the heroine,
appropriates her correspondence; she is
watched by a spa nihilist, who secretly
cherishes a scheme of revenge against
Mark Nelly, cast off by her father, as
she wrongfully supposes, and threatened
by Mark consents to marriage Suhse-
quently she discovers the impostue that
has been carried on, and after a series of
exciting adventures, aided by other per-
sons who have been deceived by Mark
Boyd she is restored to home and friends.
The story is of a decidedly moral tone
throughout, and the crimes which are de
scribed hold the perpetrators up to
universal eNecration. One remarkably
powerful chapter tells of the heroine S
narrow escape from death. Whilst i'll she
is given sleeping draught Her keepers
thrust her into coffin, while still alive
and attempt to bury her in a neighborinc
shrubbery. This story win also appear
IN the WEEKLY News

GOV. riIlman as Lawyer.

Gov. Tillman doesn't seem to have a
profound knowledge of the law, and those
who advise him on law points are not
much better informed apparently on that
subject than he He came to grief in
his attempt to make the railroads pay
taxes which were in dispute, and he does
not appear to be more fortunate in his
tilt with Solicitor Jervey relative to the
Denmark lynching
Solicitor Jervey, it will be remembered,
at 4 mass meeting in Columbia, immedi-
atcly after the lynching of Peterson at
Denmark, criticised the lynchers severely
for their unlawful act, and also the gov
ernOr for sending Peterson to Denmark
to be identified. In his remarks MIR. Jer-
vey said pretty plainly that if he were
solicitor of the county in which the lynch
ing occurred he would have the lynchers
indicted and he declared that the gov
ernor was largely responsible for the
tragic affair
The governor. with the view, appar-
emily, of making Mr.. Jervey retreat from
the position he had taken, ordered him to
proceed to Denmark and investigate the
lynching, with the view of Furnishing the
lynchers. Mr.. Jervey announces in a let
ter to the governor that he is ready to
obey orders, but he prefers to do so in ac-
cordance with the law, and he points out
that he can only be associated with the
attorney general or the solicitor of Barn
well county in prosecuting the lynchers;
he cannot supersede either of them, and
any action he might take without their
direction would be invalid.
Clearly Mr. Jervey has the best of the
governor in the correspondence thus far.
The governor evidently thought to put
Mr.. Jervey Gin hole' as it were, and he
must feel greatly chagrined to find that
Mr.. Jervey has put him in hole
If Mr.. Jervey's view of the law is cor
rect the governor ordered him to do
what would be unlawful for him to do.
Solicitor Jervey is of the opinion that as
the lynching was a violation of law it
wouldn't help matters to ignore the law
in prosecuting the lynchers. The governor
should study the statutes of his state be-
fore attempting to instruct the officers of
the law who are subject to his orders.

that he declined on the ground that the pri, e
