Reflections OF a Bachelor.

Women are probably so much hap
pier than men because they have no
wives.
The look on the average married
woman's face ought to teach most peo-
pie better.
When woman marries a man be-
cause she pities him. other folks are
apt to pity him because she marries
him.
When a girl says that a man looks
so distinguished" she generally
means that his clothes fiji him. only she
doesn't know what is the matter
The men always enjoy hearing two
women talk about fashions. but the
women never like to hear the men talk
politics. because they know there is
something in it that they can't under
stand.
Probably Lucretia Borgia never
poisoned friend without crying up
three new lace handkerchiefs at the
funeral.
Silence doesn't necessarily mean con-
sent in woman: it may only mean
that she is waiting to see if you will
take it that way.
If an angel We're to fly down in the
street any day, half the men who saw
it would feel of it to find the hooks the

Marriage is such a success because
it saves a woman from herself.

A Lynchinq Convention.

The state of Georgia is not proud of
the distinction it has won by the re-
cent revolving lynching episodes, and
in common with the whole South it is
eager to find some remedy for existing
conditions. So it is that call is to be
issued from Atlanta for one of the
most unusual conventions in all his
tory. The meeting is to be held for the
purpose of discussing the question of
criminal assaults and lynchings, and
for the purpose of finding a remedy, if
possible for existing conditions. No
special time has yet been set. but the
different counties have been asked to
appoint delegates. and as sooa as they
report the date for the convention will

saws that lit is not the intention to
condone the recent lynchings or to
censure the deeds of outraged citizens
who dealt out summary punishment to
brutal assaiants, but the aim will be
to suggest such changes in the present
law as to make 1t possible for the in
dictment, trial and execution of the
guilty to follow so quickly the COM
mission of the crime as TO make it i'm
possible for delays 10 swell the indig-
nation of the people to that point of
frenzy which generates violence.
For the sake of our boosted advance
ment and civilization. it is to be hoped
that this proposed convention will be
held, that there will be a large repre-
sentation present, and that something
will be accomplished. The plan to 50
change the laws that justice will BE-
swift and sure when the guilt is GER
tain, ana that the law will measure
out the punishment quickly, is most
excellent. for it is certain that Judge
Lynch thrives on unjust laws and
slow plodding courts that permit tech
nicaltes and almost any sort of an
excuse to delay justice, and too often
permit the culprit to escape. Laws
and courts should not discriminate
against the color of criminals, nor
condone crime. Lynching is a national
shame and a national problem. Let Us
hope the South is great enough and
strong enough to deal with it alone.
