GOVERNOR CHANDLER of Georgia,
deserves much credit for the stand he
has taken against mob law. He
urges the people to uphold the courts
and aid them in bringing speedy
Justice 10 all lawbreakers. Officers
and grand juries are admoni he'd to
do their duty toward lynchers the
same as against other lawlessness
The purity of the fair mothers and
daughters Of Georgia, says the Gov
ernor, must and shall be preserved,
and at the same time the lives and
liberties of all lawabiding negroes in
Georgia must and shall be protected.
Such suggestions should be acted
upon by people of every state. The
work that has been meted out to
some of Georgia's people the past
few months, belong to the barberous
ages rather than the present enlight-
ened generation. Lynch law some
times makes mistakes. but it never
furthers civilization. We have no in
clinatiOn to uphold, worse than
brutishness in any one regardless of
color, but contend that if the law is
strictly and speedily enforced, the
good name of states and people will
be maintained.

THE Is to 25 per cent. advance in

timber, so local dealers CLAIM, hut be
cause the mills are unable to fill their
heavy orders. Prices of hard wood
have advanced much more than on
soft lumber, quarter oak being now
worth S15 per thousand feet more
than it was six months ago. We can
see where prices of this kind means
much to the lumber men, but it
means the opposite to the users OF

COMING his WAY.

DESPITE the season of the year the
number Of white. covered wagons
headed towards southwest Missouri
and northern Arkansas is marvellous
While large numbers pass through
Springfield thew are uuobserved by
the average citizen. Those living in
the country, however, along the main
travelled highways represent that the
number of homeseekers to be seen
passing daily is simply wonderful
The United States land Office located
at this place is flooded with inc u1ries
for government lands still subject to
homestead or entry. Never perhaps,
in the history of the country were
the indications for a heavy influx OF
| those seeking new homes for Them
selves so marked. Northern Arkan-
sas especially is receiving immigrants
| i'll such numbers and of such class
as to very early place that state in
the very van of commonwealth.
All of this means much for Spring
field to those who will pause long
enough to reflect and to put two and

! must have a headquarters as base
of supplies. If it is not Springfield
it will be some city to.the south of
us. Its location will be determined
by the people OF the city itself That
munity that goes after it and effects

and size, Springfield is now and has
been for Years the jobting supply
point for the region referred 10. This
trade has come to us without any
special effort, because there were no
competitors in the field. But it had
as we'll be understood 10y those in

we now have rivals-active. ener-

PARADOXICAL as 1t sounds, some
of the poorest men in existence are
men with bouudless wealth. No man
can use more clothes than will pro-
tect his body, more house than will
shelter him, or more food than his
stomach will digest. Whatever he
has more than these, if it be not ex-
pended for the good Of others, tends
to care and to poverty of enjoyment.
