Shot Gun Morality-A Southern View
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta CONSTITUTION.
The esteemed Springfield Republican is hor-
rifod over the Southern custom which makes
it allowable for a wrongod husband to shoot
the man who has dishonored his household.
The Republican is very conservative
newspaper in its views, and makes an honest
effort TO treat the South fairly. but 1t is SO
strongly influenced by public sentiment in
its section that it cannot do full justice to a
phase Of civilization 10 which IL is unaccus-
toned. In the cases under discussion il sees
only a resort to murderous violence by men
who constitute themselves judges and execu-
toners This state of affairs it calls "bar-
barrie stage"
We deny two statements made, and most
newspaper readers will side with US when we
say that the home is not as well protected in
England and in the North as it is in the
South, except where ii is done in the same
way.
While ii Is true that millions of Godfearing
and moral people live in both old and new
England, IL is also a well-known fact that
since thoy ceased to avenge their domestic
wrongs in the old-fashioned way their news
papers teem with the record of divorces and
crimes against the honor OF women. This Is
fact known TO all the world, and no amount
.of fine writing or sentimental talk about the
sacredness of human life will cause it to be
forgotten.
In tho South, where tho unwritten but
binding law Of the land allows a husband to
slay the man who has invaded his family to
bring disgrace upon him and his wife and
children. we hear less Of seduction and adul-
tory than elsewhere.
The mon who are thus sent out of the world
are tho enemies OF civilization because they
attack and destroy its cornerstone. the home.
They would laugh at civil suits for damages,
and the lily-livered husband who would in
that way seek balm for his wounded honor Is
no better than tho defendant in the case.
IL is no use to try to bind our eyes. Every
body knows that when the pistol and shotgun
went out OF fashion for such crimes in Eng
land and in the North, there was an immedi-
ate increase in the volume of crime in the
class now under discussion. We know that
it is bad thing for one man to kill another.
but it is worse to permit mon to violate the
sancity of home and go free upon paying a
fine or damages.

A Sunday School Picnic,

A largely attended Sunday school
picnic was held at DeBerry's grove
Aug. 8. The day was beautiful
one for the occasion, but the
harvest field kept great many
from attending. Mr.. John Garrett
had charge of the affair and the
program was opened by singing,
which was selected for the occasion,
followed by prayer by Rev. Lloyd.
Mr.. John Shartzer, of Oakland,
made quite lengthy address to the
boys and girls. Rey. Butler was
next called to the stand and illus
trated beautiful story of our
Heavenly King, which seemed to
please the children.
Dinner was next, which they all
seemed to enjoy, judging from the
way the good things disappeared
from view. After dinner was over
the crowd was again called to order
by the presiding officer. Rev. Lloyd
delivered an excellent address, fol-
lowed by our genial school superln-
tendent, Mr.. Hinebaugn, who said
there was great many things he
could not do, and one of them was
he could not make speech, but we
think he surprised himself, for he
made quite lengthy and excellent
one. Rev. Wagner gave very
appropriate address, which was
followed by a beautiful selection by
the choir.
At last the day of pleasure drew
to a close, aud everybody seemed to
be oyerjoyed with their days pleas
