SEVERE ON MOB LAW.
Governor Of Georgia Strongly Attacks
the Lynching Practice.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 27.--AIob law was
severely condemned by Governor A,kin-
son in his message 10 the Georgia Leg
stature. which convened here to-day
The message Dristlcs with n scorchiup
and sensational attack upon the lawlcss
spirit that fosters the lynch law In this
State.
He says that to cXtcrminate the prac-
tice OF lynchinS. the crime must be
made odious and shameful He advo-
Gates stringent Legislation against the
mob and insists that the Legislature
pass n law laying every county where
IN such crime Is committed suhJcc,

The Northern lynchers are spoken of
by the Governor. or this he saws. az;
is no excuse to say that the Northern
people. who have less TO provoke them

standard: bu: rather show a higher
type Of civilization in our State and
erect here n standard TO which they may
aspire"
The Governor is In favor OF ar,ning
L.1e prisoners and allowing them 10
protect themselves from mohs lie saws:
THE arrcstnS officer Is now clothed
with authority to take the life OF the
assailants when resisting their efforts
to take n prisoner from his custody
and 1t Is his duty to take life IL neces-
sary to protect the prisoner and retain
him In custody. This he should be re-
duired to do at the hazard of his own
life, or the prisoner should be unshack-
led. armed and given an opportunity TO
defend himself. The knowledge on the
part of the mob that this would be done
would deter II from pursuing It's lawless
purpose. and the law would he permit
ted TO protect the innocent and punish
the guilty.

THE RAINFALL.

1t Now Amounts to S.55 for the
Month.
The copious rainfall has been one Of
the blessings OF the storm, for It has
broken the greatest and most widely cx-
tended drought this section has known
for years. Yesterday the precipitation,
as reccsded at the Weather Bureau,
amounted to l.0l inches bringing the
total for the month up to S.s5 Inches.
AS the normal rainfall for October Is
3.ST inches, this !ndic1tes 4 departure
from the normal OF 4.6S inches excess.
The city's supply lakes have gained
largely by the storm. and the drainage
continuing to run into them, they will
show still further gains later on. In
Lake Lawson yesterday, the rise over
the 16-inch mark of the day before was
marked and at Lakes Taylor and Brad
ford the wafer rose several inches also.

THE STORM.

While the tempest besleges my door
And the wind and the mad waves nre
playing, ys5,'

Makes more fearful this terrible night.
Mad Boreas is up in his wrath,
From thick clouds he swoops down
DER the land, KS
Tornado comes fierce in his path.
Destruction he hurls from his hand,
"Euroclydon." ages long past,
He rules. the dread God Of the blast.
Tn his hand Is the thunder-bolt grasped,
He has frightened sweet Thetis away,
Her hand by soft zephyrs clasped,
They have fed to Aurora for play,
Heavens candles have snuffed out their
light;
And Luna's withdrawn from the night.
Affrighted, all nature Is stllled.
Save the wind and the clouds and
the waves,
The seas hungry nav Is untitled,
1t in cfamoring for watery graves
The shark, THAT dread wolf of the sea,
Hunts where foltndering vessels may be.
God pity "the poor devils" whose lips
Have been hushed In the surge of the
deep
For men will go down In their ships
And women and children must weep,
The good Lord, He knowcth the best

BAFFLED BY TIE WAVES.

The ocean tug Sampson. arrived yes
terday afternoon from the scene of the
wreck. her Captain having decided that
1t was best not to stand by longer on
account Of the high seas. She reports
that the Polaria Is lying on her star
board bllge. just inside the nook of the
cape and heading northwest.
The following telegram was sent by
the Captain Of the life-saving crew at
the Cape to superintendent of: the SER
vice at Washington. at o'clock las.
evening:
Have made nine efforts with guns 10
reach steamer Polara, but each shot
fell short. Surf too high 10 launch boat;

THE JONES GETS ALONGSIDE.

Meantime the rain was coming down
In torrents and THE wild roItheaster was
howli1g along at g. twenty four mile an
hour gait.
The Merritt's tug Jones at last sue
ceedl;d in getting a, line to the Polaria,
and She at once began to pull on trhe
stranded monster. but without any per-
cepittble Result. The big Snip refused
to bulge. The efforts of the tug were
continued throughout the day. and when
night came che lay alongside the ship
ready ito take her crew off In thc event
that she began to go to pieces,
The only communication held be-
tween ship and shore during the day
was a message TO her owners agents,
sisnaled to the vessel by Observer
Blundon. at Cape Henry. Therefore it
Is not known whether or not she has
many passengers aboard, but the i'm
preston of the Cape Henry observer
Is that there are few If any passengers
aboard her.
Her cargo of cotton will possibly have
to be removed before she can be float
ed. The vessel Is of 2.16S tons, and will
stand good deal OF pounding.
