may thunder against mob law and the
best sentiment Of the state may de-
nounce It, but the evil will not only
abide with us, but grow as long as the
more ignorant feel that the courts al
ford them small protection.
We repeat here what was said In
former article, that the laxity of justice
has reached such proportions that a
criminal feels safer in the thralls of the
court than he would feel If he were at
large endeavoring to evade arrest. The
people see this and resent it, and this
is one Of the reasons-indeed, the only
reason-why a certain class is so ready
to take the law into their own hands
This Is the situation in several states
to-day, and il constitutes a threatening
evil. And it rs an evil that must be
taken hold of and throttled. IL cannot
be left alone, else like the germ IN the
yeast, it will grow and spread and
swell until it overfiows the whole state
The remedy is prompt trials and
speedy justice. The time has long since
passed when there is any danger Of
hanging an innocent man after trial.
Indeed, as we have shown, the tendency
is the other way There is more dan
ger that a bloody murderer or assassin
will escape justice in the courts than
there Is that an innocent man will be
punished.
We referred some time ago to the fact
that Governor Johnston, of Alabama,
recommended in his message to the
Legislature that the governor be au-
thorized to call a special term of court
whenever "a crime has been committed
likely to arouse great Indignation. In
Georgia, if we are not mistaken, the
judges of the Superior Court have the
right to hold special terms of their
courts, and it has sometimes happened
that a special term has been convened
for the purpose of disposing of certain
cases. This would be a good thing to
do in all cases where the public has
been outraged by the commission of a
particularly fragrant crime
But in Georgia special terms Of court
are less important than the revival of
the belief in the minds of the people
that our courts have not become asy-
lums for the protection of murderers
and assassins, but are really and truly
what they purport to be, temples of
justice. If the courts themselves cannot
apply the proper remedy, then the Leg
islature should take the matter in hand,
simplify our criminal code and render
it impossible for murderers and assas-
sins TO employ the law as one of the
methods of cheating justice.
In the interest of peace and good or
der and the safety of society, there
must be a change.-Atlanta Constitu-
tion.

HIS HEAD BADLY CUT
ITALIANS FOUGHT AT HOLLY OAK
AND ANTONIO DONELLI WAS
BApLY BEATEN

There was a small war among the
Italians who are employed at Holly
Oak yesterday afternoon, and as a re-
suit Antonio Donelli is suffering from a
badly cut head, and his assailant, an
other Italian, whose name is unknown,
has disappeared.
1t seems that some time ago Donelli's
assailant was charged with selling liq-
uor without a license, and was fined $50
and costs. He charged Donelli with
having given the information which led
to his arrest, and the whole colony had
therefore held aloOf from the alleged
informer.
Donelli has all along been subjected
to petty annoyances, but matters
reached a crisis yesterday, when the
man whom he is alleged to have
"peached" on crept up behind him
while at work and struck DOnelli on the
shoulder and with with club, knock
ing him senseless.
Some Of Donelli's friends who OBJ
jected to such summary punishment
interfcred and a free fight seemed i'm
minent. Word was sent to the police
of this city to have the state detectives
sent 70 Holly Oak. Both of them were
out of town, however. and Detectives
Jones and Dillon and Special Officer
Smith went to the place.
They found Donelli still bleeding
from his wounds, while his assailant
had escaped. 1t required seven stitches
to close up the principal wound in Don
ellis head.

1t is an undeniable fact that the pub

largely to that fund, and should have
it's fair share of the benefits. The bill

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THE SPEEDY PUNISHMENT Oh
CRIMINALS.

Formerly it was thought necessary
by our law makers to throw additional
safeguards around those accused OF
crimes and high misdemeanors. These
safeguards still exist in the body of our
laws and in the practice of the courts,
but legal ingenuity has pushed them so
far beyond their original purpose that
II is now difficult to convict a criminal
and almost impossible to carry out the
sentence that, after long delays and
long trials. may be imposed upon him.
In short, the safeguards intended to
protect the innocent-the prisoner
falsely accused-are now employed to
defeat the ends of justice.
There is one fact that cannot possibly
escape the attention of thoughtful men
namely: that in proportion as the
courts have been lax in the administra-
tion of justice. in just that proportion
crime has increased; and, as one evil
breeds a swarm of evils, in proportion
as crime has multiplied, in just that
proportion the tendency of the people
to take the law into their own hands
has increased. The failure of justice
breeds lawlessness. The public press
