dogs and the dogs have exterminated

ought to change the constitution and
elect lawmakers for four or six years
and after that they should be ineligi-
bic. Then they wouldent talk and
vote for buncombe.
Some of the symposium writer's
thought that the laws delay and the
lawyers We're to blame for these lynch
iugs. Not SO. A lynching for that
crime is but the outburst of human in
dignation. The laws delay is not in

BILL ARP'S WEEKLY LETTER
MAKES A STRONG TALK IN RE.
GARD TO LYNCHINGs.
He WADES INTO The CRITICS.
Bill Declares That No Good Man Has Rea-
son to Fear For the Results OF
Mob Law.

The lynching of Sam Holt is over.
The press and the preachers have ex-
pressed their horror or their approval
and the world moves on-not a stay
nor a stop nor jolt is felt either So
cially, religiously, financially or COM
mercially. The fulminations of the
of editors nearer home amount to any.
thing. History is just repeating it
self. Every few years something like
this happens and the press and the
preachers explode in about the same
language until they get tired and then
subside and wait quietly for some
other narrowing thing to happen.
We remember well what the press
said about the burning of the brute at
Dallas few years ago and the same
adjectives were used and the same
anathemas hurled upon our people.
The brute who ravished child of six
years and then killed her and threw her
mutilated body into the bushes actu.
ally found friends among our enemies.
They said it was brutal to burn him.
We remember when the negro as
saulted little girl near Madison as
she was going home from school alone
and then cut her throat and threw her
body IN gnlly and covered it with
brush. When vengeance overlook
him thc} northern press howled as
usual.
/. is their business to howl. They
like it, and do doubt are glad this
thing has happened. 1t feeds their
appetite and nurses their wrath and
will last them week, perhaps longer.
In the language of Governor Oates, l
would rise to a pint or order and ask,
"What are You goiag to do about it?"
Nothing, Of course, nothing. Such
things will happen sometimes every
where at long intervals, but they do
not affect single item of civilization.
Who is afraid to move to Georgia or
Texas because of lynchings? Nobody,
save. perhaps, few bad men who
think OF coming because they are in
bad repute at home. Fitzgerald was
not afra SQme, nor afraid to stay,

A dispatch from Havana say s: Gov.

the matter of the payment of the Gu

Saturday he sent n request to General

no man pursueth. No good man is in
danger of the lynchers. No lawabid-
ing citizen has any fear for himself or
his household.
1t takes terrible crime to arouse a
whole community into such remedy,
and SO I feel no personal alarm.
Reader, do you?
The truth is that lynchings are not
rs frequent in the south as they have
been, but are getting quite common
over the line. We read that they tried
to lynch n man in New York the other
day for stealing n horse. Why they
have long since quit that in Texas.
Mr.. Inman is right or nearly so. He
says in his answer to the symposium
of opinions that ''there is no Just
cause for alarm among the country
people-no greater cause than there
has been. That % per cent of the
people, both white and black, are
harmless and lawabiding and we will
have to watch and punish the other )
per cent just as We have been doing
for many years. The per cent of
bad negroes is greater than he thinks
The number in the chaingangs prove
this, hut their crimes are generally
misdemcanors, larceny and burglary,
and education does not correct this.
Booker Washington says it does, but
observation and statistics of the prison
commission prove the reverse.
We old men who owned slaves he
fore the war are established in our
opinions that education does not les
sen crime. neither among whites nor
blacks. Mr. Stetson, the chairman
Of the school commission of Massa-
chusetts, declared this in \ pamphlet
several years ago, andpl owed that educa-
ton increased crime not n little, but
to an alarming extent. | have great
respect for Booker Washington. and
believe that the kind of educatlsn he
is giving will lessen crime AMONG the
pupils he ls educating. Our dawes
were educated by fear Of the lash or
the whipping post, and you can pick
them ont today. 1t is their children,
born since the war, or their grand
children who are in the chaingang.
Why should there be 4 900 negroes
in these state and county chaingangs
Of Georgia when there are only 2iO
white convicts? 1t will not do to say
the negro is punished and the white
man escapes. That is a lie and every
observing man knows it. My own oh.
servation is that the courts lean to the
negro rather than against him. No
small per cent of the colored convicte
are now serving a second term and
some third term, which proves that
Imprisonment. does not reform the ne
gro. When he comes ont his last con

whipping post would so thoroughly

not repeat the Otfense. Confinement
in Jail nearly crushes the soul ont of {

LIBRARY ron THE POLICE.
Mayor Myers Plan for a Reading
Room,

Room,
Mayor Myers will be thanked by the
police force for concelving plan by
which the department. win get a neatly
furnished room for a library. His idea is
that the court room in the new building,
which is to be given up after April /, when
the sessions of the Police Court win prob
ably be held in the old barracks building,
shall be converted into. a library; and sup
piled with books and periodicals for the
men. 1t is believed this can be done at
slight cost, the books being furnished
mostly by contributions from the force.
The fire department has a library made
up by the energetic efforts of the men
and Mayor Myers sees no reason why the
police should not have the same thing.
After the court room is vacated, il will be
fitted up with tables chairs and such other
furnishings as are needed to make It tily
and comfortable. An advantages In using
the court room for library is that the
police off duty who visit Il or who are on
tile reserve detachment, will be within a
few steps Of the sergeants office. and NAV
be called without delay in case thew are
needed.
Manifold advantages VIII come from this
innovation, which promises TO be a source
OF inestimabIe benefit to the men. Under
the present arrangement the fire detail
and other members of the force who visit
the station when not on duty have no Fay
TO pass the time except to lounge around
in their rooms. The library viii give them
the chance OF acquiring information
however. and Of reading up on matters
that will always make them proficient In
the discharge of their duties
