transmitted to the secretary of the

GAMBLERS MESSAGE.
GeOrgia's Governor Devotes His Document
to the Legislature to the Subject of
Crime and Mob Violence.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 26.-The Georgia
legislature met in regular session yes
terday. Gov. Gambler devoted several
paragraphs of his message to the twin
subjects of crime and mob violence.
He takes the position that the unusual
amount of crime by lawless negroes
and the consequent unprecedented
amount of mob violence can be laid at
the door of intermeddling and ire
sponsible fanatics and fools who do
not know anything of the situation in
the south. He believes that almost if
not all these acts on the part of lawless
negroes can be traced to the people
whose utterances, in their newspapers
and their incendiary letters sent to the
negroes in the south, have greatly ag-
gravated a situation which they pro-
fess to deplore.

FIRST WALKING MATCH.
Resolved Itself Into a Running
Match, and It Was for
Territory.

In I706 William Penn bought from the
Indians a tract of land bounded on the east
by the Delaware, on the west by the Mesh
aminy, and running as far north as a man
:an go'' in II days. After his death his son,
Thomas Penn, thought it would be a good
idea to survey the boundary. On August %,
1877, this was done.
Three men lined up for the start, James
Yeates, a lean Yankee; Solomon Jennings
and Edward Marshall, an old hunter. The
sheriff, the surveyors and a number of In
dams who wanted to see fair play accom-
panied them on horseback.
The three men ran.
). You are not walking, protested the In
dams; you are running"
:. They are going" replied the sheriff;
man can go in day and half"
50 the Indians went home.
Yeates collapsed on the second days run
and died two days later. Jennings lived in
shattered health but a few years longer.
Marshall was tougher-in better training,
we would say nowadays. He kept on,
reached the end of the blazed trail, seized
the surveyors compass and still kept going
in the same direction. When Sheriff Smith
at noon said Haiti Marshall had covered
68 miles through rough forest, or twice as
far as the Indians had expected.
The sellers were ''only Indians you see.

young man, who skipped off in the crowd
