MOB LAW CONDEMNED.
Governor Atkinson, of Georgia, on
Lynching.

ATLANTA, GA, October 27.-Mob law
was severely condemned by Governor At
knson, In his message to the Georgia
Legislature, which convened here to-day.
The message contains a scorching and
sensational attack upon the lawless spirit
that fosters lynch law in this State. He
says that to exterminate the practice Of
lynching, the crime must be made odious
and shameful. He advocates stringent
legislation against mobs, and insists that
the Legislature pass a law laying every
county wherein such a crime is COM
mitted subject to q large indemnity to
the relatives of a mob's victims.
The northern lynchings are spoken of
by the Governor. On this subject he
says 1T is no excuse to say that the
northern people, who have less to provoke
them to il, lynch. Let us not take them
as q standard, but rather show higher
tyne OF civilization I'm our State, and
erect here a standard to which they may
aspire"
The Governor Is for arming the prison.
ers, and allowing them to protect them
selves from mobs. He says: THE arrest
ing officer is now clothed with authority
to take the life of the assailants when
resisting their efforts to take a prisoner
from his custody, and it is his duty to
take life, II necessary to protect the
prisoner and retain him in custody This
he should be required to do at the hazard
OF his own life, or the prisoner should
be lnshackled armed. and given an OPP
portunity to defend himself, The knowl-
edge on the part of mob that this would
be done would deter IL from pursuing its
lawless PURPOSE"

TO THE COURT OF APPEALS.
Cavalry Officers May Go There to
Test the Governors Order.

Major William III. Sands and the other
officers of the First Regiment of Cavalry,
the forfeiture of whose commissions are
involved In the order of the commander
in-chief disbanding their regiment, are
not content with accepting the provi-
sions of this order, and they purpose go
ing into the Supreme Court with view
to testing the validity Of the order.
Ii will be remembered that Major
Sands, In the beginning, questioned the
legality of the disbanding order, and in
the Supreme Court IL is understood that
the contention will be made that such
action as taken by the Governor, If legal,
would eventually have the effect OF
decimating the militia of the State, and
TO bear out this contention, II will pro-
badly be shown that by virtue of the
Interpretation Of the order disbanding
the cavalry regiment, the First Regi-
ment of Infantry might also be dis
banded, because II has not six companies
up to the standard required by law.
The First Regiment has seven compa-
MES, but at the last inspection two or
these fell below the minimum In men,
bership. No action looking to disband-
ment of this regiment has been taken,
and military authorities contend that the
regiment Is not disbanded by virtue OF
the mere fact OF being below the mini
mum in membership, but that this re-
suit can only be obtained after official
cognizance of this fact has been taken
by the commander-in-chief.
