public printing was ss7. .e5. 1t was a
fair inference, It seems to U.s. that uae
increase of nearly $1,000 was due TO inc
SESSION of the Legislature Captain oBan-
non admits that there were ''incidentais,
but he does not think that they amounted
TO anything like $4,000. He says that the
charge for printing was relatively much
higher in 1899 than IN 1900
AS for the cost of printing for the extra
session, that is, OF course. largely guess
work Captain O,Bannon thinks that the
actual cost, not including ;ncidentals, will
not exceed $4,000, and he is Of opinion that
the entire cost Of the session viii be about
$4,000, provided the session does not !.ast
more than thirty days. Other state cheers
think that the session will last forty-five
days and that the cost will be nearer
$50, 600. The Auditor estimates that the
cost, all told, to the State OF regular
session of the General Assembly is slVV,oso

OF the earnest men who gathered here, the
impetus that their example has given the
spiritual life of the community will re-
main.
The organization that has been holding
Its sessions here. since Wednesday last, is
a very human body of men. who have a
perfectly definite object In view and have
chosen a simple method to accomplish it.
The object is TO quicken the spiritual
nature of mankind, both individually and
collectively The method is organization.
The fight between things of the earth.
earthly, and those that are OF Heaven IS
as old as human nature 1t has been
waged with varying success by all nations
lin all ages. And out of the battle there
have emerged two schools of thought and
action. The one says Whatever is, is
right; If you are hungry. eat; If you are
thirsty, drink, for the laws of life, growth
and death are the same for men or mush-
rooms
cardinal principle that. men must follow
their natural promptings and are no more
to be blamed for so doing than the tides
for following the moon, or the compass
for seeking the north pole.
Adam accepted these teachings as his
guide and lost Eden. By adherence to
these precepts Satan fell from Heaven "A
mans duty to himself, his fellowman and
his God is not contained in living accord
ing to his station in life. and faring sump-
last lifted up his eyes in hell, being in
torment.
The warfare between the .carnal man
and the spiritual man is the fact on which
the Brotherhood of ST Andrew is based
It's school of thought says: I'VE are yet in
the days of our pilgrimage. It; is not
enough to feed the body which perisheth.
we must also nourish our spiritual nature.
For to neglect the spiritual SIDE TO smother
its struggles, TO heed only the promptinss
of the flesh and to walk only in the line
of least resistance is to follow the broad
way whose end is destruction
1t seems to US that in this day of ma
terialism there could be no healthier sign
than the ardent cooperation of such a
body Of young men to spread Christs
Kingdom. which is founded on the eternal
truth that man came out from God the
Father and to Him will return.
But to do SO, each one must take up
his cross daily and deny the flesh in no
spirit of unreasoning asceticism, but that
the spirit may come into a. larger room;
that each one may feel for himself the
dual nature whose growth in the widest
and best sense it is the object OF st.
Andrews Brotherhood to encourage

THE soUTH,s MENACE.

a prominent Southern man addresses a
communication to the Charleston News
and Courier on the subject OF lynching,
which ought to be read and prayerfully
considered by every Southerner who has
the interest of his State at heart. The
correspondent says that formerly the
wretch who committed an assault upon
woman when apprehended was put to
death by shooting or hanging, but of late
there is growing tendency to torture He
calls attention TO the fact that within few
days the papers report the aggravated as
sault by negro upon Caucasian woman;
the man was caught and identified, after
which pine wood was piled about him and
he was roasted alive, the act being unani-
mously approved by all present. The as
sauit,' comments the correspondent, was
the brutal crime of an individual; the act
of burning was the crime of community
The civilized world condemns and forgets
the original crime as it contempiates the
torture of the guilty wretch, and thus our
civiza ton is endangered and our standard
lowered" In conclusion he makes the
startling statement that with the increased
brutality of treatment there has been a
steady increase of assaults. being the work
ing of a natural law.
That is the truth, as every observant
man knows. and as we have more than
once pointed ont in discussing this subject.
Lawlessness begets lawlessness. brutality
begets brutality, torture begets torture. Is
II aaC
these terrible crimes are committed by the
black hrrtes, but we must make the thing
worse and injure ourselves and southern
society by resort to barbarous torture or
the victim? Are we going to permit these
brutes to make Us brutal? Are we SoinG
10 hermit these sarasrs 10 make us savage?
Are We going to tlc, more brutal and more
savage than the brutal savage who COM
,nits the crime? Because brutal negro
commits nameless offense are We gong
to trample our laws under foot and over
throw our institutions and undermine our
society? These are questions. We say, that
the Southern people must consider serious
" and prayerfullS. Our institutions are III
danger from ourselves. We cannot expect
to maintain law and order and to ralse up
orr bows 10 respect the law if we ruth
lessly trample the law under 1907 ana ceis
+.,e officers of the law, and not only deprive
a man uniawfuily Of life, but by methods
that would put savage to the blush we
cannot he law-abiding and yet tranaple the
law under our feet. We cannot Do civil
ized and YET initiate the ways OF the
savage.
