He continued:
Your foreman tells me that you
can finish your work to-day, but l say
that you must stsy here until you go
60 the bottom of this business Stay

stay next week. il you can't finish dur

"See to it that some man is punish

Spalding county is not made the dump
ing ground for the criminals that other
counties " amt to lynch. See that 9TH
er counties no longer look upon this as
the shamble to which they lead brutes
for the butcher"
That he meant business is empha
sized when he said:
"And 1 charge you now to lay aside
all other work, stop all other business
and ferret out the murderers Indict

their inmates before you to testify
against the lynchers. The mob walked
these streets and were seen bring
here the men who saw them and let
them give the Names"
The above is a ringing indictment OF
the business men of the town. But
this fearless judge speaks even more
emphatic. He said:
"Send 60 Pike and Meri weather. conn
ties and bring witnesses. II any man
on the grand jury can't enter heartily
into this work. let him retire from the
jury and let his name come out of the
grand jury box
Yes, there are more men like Judge
BECKs in this southland They have
the nerve to do their duty. The time
will come when this blood stained Sec
tion will be aroused and lawlessness
will be held under the proper restraint
and the lawless elements made to pay
for their crimes in the prison and on
the gibbet.
But we must not fail TO append here
the following information:
Judge Becks' charge wss one of the
strongestNa jury ever listened to, and
it had great weight with that body.
"SubpwnRs have been issued to-day
by the scores and have gone TO our cit
liens in all walks of life, and have Gre
ated intense excitement. What the
outcome will be no one can say. but
that Judge Beck has determined to
stop lynching in this county none can
doubt who heard his charge this morn
