THE MOB SPIRIT,

A man who works for wages is free American citizen, with the same rights aud the same privileges and the same obli- gations with every other citizen. To sep arate himself from the great body of citi- zenship and declare that he constitutes one caste, and a down trodden caste at that, is to voluntarily lower himself from the place which is his by right. He has as much right in public meetings as anybody. He has as much right to work or not to work, to go and come, as anybody. He has as much right to run for office, to vote, 10 sit on juries, to impress himself on public af- fairs nis a citizes~uaaymore I->sa-, less.
 -cg what proce5s Of reasoning, IS 1t then concluded that the wage earner who ceases work in body acquires the peculiar right to violate law, to menace peace, to destroy property, to interfere with the business of other people? clerk in a dry goods store has just as much right to cut a Pullman car loose or turn freight car over as any other citizen. Yet he would be, promptly punished for it and ought to be and would get no sympathy. No merchant claims the privilege of doing a thing like that, or lawyer or farmer. No self respecting wage earner as an individual claims it. On WHdG prluCipie IS iG tudL bO larBo puDllC sympathy excuses it in men who work for wages and as mass commit such depreda- tions under the spur of a grievance agai nst employers? Is it on the ground that wage earners are ignorant men O. degraded men |, and therefore irresponsible? That would be an insult to them. As a matter of fact they are not. They are intelligent men who know the law and it's obligations.
 The explanation lies in the fact that we still lack a good deal of having progressed beyond the mob in this country. We have frequent mobs in Alabama, in all the States, which are composed of what we call good citizens, who take the law in their own hands and execute revenges on the plea of society's self-defense. And the public does not rise in condemnation as it should. There is a wide approval of Governor Till man. declaration that he would himself lead mob to hang rapist.
 The mob spirit is the same, whatever be the special occasion. It is the people over riding the law, defying the law, violating the law, trampling the law under foot. After all, ths mob that destroys property is less guilty than the mob which destroys human life. We need healthier senti- ment in Alabama, in Maine, in Oregon, in Texas, in all the States, on this subject, sentiment that will frown down and con- demn all mobs, whether of employers or workingmen, of farmers or townspeople, whether against property or life. Free dom is assaulted every time the law is overridden.

AGNES SCOTT INSTITUTE.
One of the South's Most Popular Schools Work It
 Is Doing.

The next session of this noted boarding and day school for young ladies commences on September 5, next.
 The past year has been one of widespread financial depression, but notwithstanding this fact the institute has had prosperous year.
 No school in the south has enjoyed more constant and brilliant success than the Agnes Scott, and the causes of this success are evident:
 rivaled; the local surroundings are ideal, Decatur having long been noted for it's refined, educated and religious society.
 2. A large and accomplished corps of trained and experienced teachers, each member of the faculty having been selected for his or her character and special qualif- cations for the chair occupied.
 8. Thorough work. The utmost effort is made to do thorough teaching, and no care less or antiquated methods are used. Noue of the officers or teachers have any>fnancial interest n the mapagemento of the institute, and each teacher is able to give his or her entire lime and undivided and disin terested attention to the work of instructing. Pupils not making satisfactory progress or not improving their time are not allowed to waste the money of parents by further at tendance.
 The cirriculum is already high. It is riGidly pursued and Is being steadily ad- vanced as the school grows in years. It is the desire and aim of the trustees and faculty to place the Agnes Scott as the leader in elevating the standard of female education in the south.
 The special departments, as music and art, are well equipped and under charge of skilled specialists, are fully abreast of the times and the best shools. 1. The low scale of fees, these having been fixed not with the view of money making, but simply to cover current ex. pc nses, repairs and equipment.
 5. The superb buildings were constructed especially for school purposes after the best approved plans. They are aii Of brick, scientifically ventilated and supplied throughout with hot and cold water and fire hose.
