VINO, pleading for his servants
life, grandly detied the menaces
of the mob, only ceasing to fol>
low it in his mission when a
pledge was given that the man
would be placed under the pro-
lection of the law. That was
"southern chivalry' in truth,
and we are not ashamed of it.
But The Tribune tells truth and
touches the right note when it
says:
"For an Anglo. Saxon in Geor-
gia, with all his opportunities,
with his religion, his civilization,
his boasts as a member of
superior race, claiming a right to
rule and owing an example to in
feriors-for this white man to
make himself beast, to dance IN
wild JOY about a victim, whether
of punishment or persecution, to
dip fingers in his blood, to torture
him and gloat over his mutilated
body, is a crime against law,
against civilization, against hu-
manity, which surpasses even the
most horrible outbreaks of some
harbarous black mans brutal pas
sion. 1t is not the death of the
negro taat makes the picture SO
dark, nor its unlawfulness, nor
even his umeasured suffering. His
crime was terrible, and certain,
severe and swift punishment was
deserved. We are not pitying
him. 1t is the debasement of the
whole community by such an
orgy of blood, such a reversion
of civilized men, and women to
the delight in cruelty that marks
savages, which seems to us the
darkest and saddest feature of
this dark affair.
Great are the wrongs of the
Crawford family, greater will be
the wrongs of Georgia and our
whole country if such deeds are
! tolerated. What do the women
of Georgia think of the chivaIrous
men who went out to punish Il
crime against one of their num-
Der and came back with cooked
pieces of ii wSetched negro's heart
and liver in their pockets to an
nounce, not that they had done
the justice of God, but that thew
had given themselves to wallow-

fitting devilsl That is the ques q.
ton which this burned and mutilat-
ed negro S body raises. 1t is not
his fate, nor even the supremacy
of law, that is most at issue. The
important thing is the character
of our civilization and the future
of a race which sees the fit pun.

Savagery. Such passions do not
belong alone to those who indulge
them. They will course for
greater evil in the veins of the
next generation, Mankind cans
not make itself the beast with
lmpunity even to punish a beast.
That is it. That is the point
that all quasi-apologists for such
vengeances miss. Lynchings are
bad enough. They proclaim the
inpotency of law, they dethrone
it, they set up in it's stead the
rule of passion. They are full

Georgia's Blow to the South.

ir'HIinS In JuXtapOsitiOn the
Atlanta Constitutions account of
the crime for which Sam Hose
was INnched and the press account
OF the atrocities at his lynching,
the New York Tribune says:
"Horrible as was the scene at
tue farmhouse, was not the scene
by the roadside more horrible2
Great as was the crime Of the ne
gro, was not the crime of the
white men greater? Savage and
beastly as was the black man.
was he more the savage and the
beast than the hyenas who mutt
lated him when aliye and cut up
his carcass when dead, and then
In wantonness of blood -sheddino
went Oft and killed another negro
without the slightest proof that
he had any part in the murder of
the man or the slightest suspicion
that he vas concerned in the
crime against the womanl The
horror at the farmhouse was the
work of one ignorant, brutal
member of an inferior race, the
descendant of people kept for
generations as near the beast as q
superior race could keep them.
The horror of fngar-chopping and
beart-cutting was the work of the
flower of southern chivalry. 1t
was the revelation of the character
of the product of centuries of
education, self-government trains
ing lii respect for law and order. I"
There are two fragrant mis-
state nents in this. The negroes
in Hhierican slavery we're not
kept .''as near the beast as a
superior race could keep them. "
Neither in the south nor in the
north was this true. When the
negro was brought to this CONT
nent in slave ships he was to the
last degree degraded by his so,
called liberty in his own country.
Slavery lifted him up. In its
school he acquired civilization,
religion, the arts of industry and
TO some degree the knowledge of
books. Were The Tribune $
statements true what excuse could
1t and its party possibly have for
giving to millions of people "near
the beast" dominion over .sa
superior race" and attempting to
maintain that dominion by the
bayonets Of the United States
army! The negro as he emerged
from slavery was ignorant and
childish, and as ruler of States
was a grotesque failure; but he
was not "near the beast"
So also The Tribune says what
is not true when il declares that
"the horror of finger choppine
and heart-cuttins was the work
of the flower of southern chivalrv."
The men who did those deeds
represent southern chivaIry" as
little as the residents of New
Iork's slums represent the
"Christian civilization" of the
north. We have never known a
southern gentleman who did not
regard the negro with kindly,
helpful spirit. Ravening mobs
are not composed of gentlemen,
and it is utterly impossible that
any man coming up to the south.

CURE FOR LOCKJAW.
violent Precipitation Is successfully Used by an English Physician
 In Two Cases.

Lockiaw when caused by wound has long been considered incurable, and it is only of late years that q few in- stances of successful treatment have been recorded, the most striking being those effected by the Indian wooiali poison and by enormous doses of alec hol. Two cases are reported in which moved by yIoien1 perspiration. me first was that of young hf @2, who had the misfortune Of ,.",ing his hand caugh. in gearing of threshine machine. part of the skin was torn off but in the course oi a ior,nigni every thing seemed progressing coward a speedy cure, when one morning ..s ira- tient awoke with strange rigiuip 'n his jaws, violent pain all over ,nv stelil- nm, intermittent difficulty vr areathng and convulsive starts in the lower .mus. A doctor being called ia, nc immediate ly proceeded to throw the patient into a violent precipitation. For this pur- pose he had hoops put under the bed clothes in order 10 prevent their con- tact with the body, and then got four deep pots filled with quicklime, which he slightly moistencd with water.
 To prevent the skin from being scorched, each pot was wrapped in linen and placed on each sido of the pa- tient, orders being given to the family to moisten the quicl,lime from time to time and to change t when exhausted. The heat cngendered was so intense that on the first day the bedclothes caught fire, which, however, was speed fly extinguished. As for the perspira- ton, it was so immoderate as 10 pass all belief On the fifth day all tetanic symptoms had disappeared except q little stiffness in the jaws, the patient was in a state of complete prostration, which was, however, removed by good nourishmcnt, and in a few days after all traces of the dangerous affection had disappeared.
 The second case was that of a day la borer, who, when the doctor came, ap- peared in dying state. He at first de- nied having had any wound, but upon examination an injury caused by hob nail was discovered on one of his great toes-a circumstance the patient had forgotten. The treatment was the same and attended with the same re- sult.-London Glo' ?.

An accident occurred on the C.. w.. G. X N. railroad yesterday evening which caused the derailment of q locO- motive and two cars. The train was backing down the grade beyond the summit south of town and when at the last curve before reaching the fla1 |. about mile and a half north of Cut ter the cars left the track. James Boyd. the rear brakeman. who was on top of the forward car las the train was moving, was thrown to the ground receiving such bruises on the left side as to send him to the hospital where he now is. His injuries are not serious. A handcar crew in charge of Mr. T. A. Sunmerskill, master me- chanic. going tO assist the wrecked train. lost control of tine car by the brake giving away. The ear was sent down the grade and into another hand car standing on the track near the wreck with crash which wrecked both cars. The crew saved their lives only by jumping off. many of them to go tumbling end over end when they struck the ground. Fortunately none of the handcar crew were hurt. The derailcd engine and cars were soon put upon the track again. when the in- coming train in charge of Conductor II. w. Clark came along, and were brought in.
