TO INVESTIGATE THE OUTRAGE,

AS was to have been expected, Coy.
Terrell has promptly ordered COM
plete investigation of the recent out
rage at the state prison farm wherein
delicate young woman was turned
across bed and inhumanly strapped
by the whipping boss. Not only has
the executive arm been raised in her
defense, but the Legislature has taken
the matter up and a committee from
both houses is to go to Milledgeville
and investigate the atrocious outrage
Senator T. G.. Hudson is a member of
this committee, and it is safe to assert
that the affair will be probed to the
bottom and not passed over as ''clos-
ed incident" as expressed recently.
The people of Georgia will not have it
a ''closed incident" while this damna-
bic stain rests upon the state, and

goods bull-whip this poor, friendless
woman will tell the whole story of the
outrage committed and which has
shocked the entire country. Georgia's
convict system, this barter and sale of
human flesh, is already as rotten and
putrid as the purlieus of hell and a
stencil in the nostrils of the nation,
but this later atrocity, committed
within it's precincts, oyershadows all
others. Let the investigation proceed
and the guilty be punished to the ex-
tent of the law. The prison commits
sion should have ordered this investi-
CATION long ago, but as they did not, it
is well that we have Governor who is
not afraid to stand for the right in the
discharge of duty.

Why DELAY AND NEW TRIALS.

Judge Emory Speer delivered an ex-
temporaneous address before the Geor-
gia State Agricultural Society at Ath-
ems. The address appears to have
been enjoyed by those who heard it
and there is no reason why it should
not have been. Judge Speer is one of
the men in Georgia who can speak
upon almost any subject on short no
tice and say something new and enter
tanning all the time.
On this occasion he laid special
stress upon the lack of provision in
Georgia for the detection and arrest of
criminals. The Judge, it would appear
from this address, is somewhat inclin-
ed to look with favor upon the bill in
troduced in the legislature for
mounted state constabulary. He said
that one sheriff to a county and an oc
casional bailiff constitutes a wholly
inadequate force for the upholding of
the states authority in many counties.
The judge thinks mounted force like
the Texas Rangers would make an ex-
cellent specimen of rural police.
These men could at once take the trail
of criminal, run him down and bring
him to trial in conformity with the
law.
Judge Speer also took occasion to
tell the farmers that the state court
judges are paid too little, and said that
it was a sign of hopefulness for the
senate to pass bill increasing the pay
of superior court jurors. The terms of
the judges should also be heightened,
in the opinion of Judge Speer.
Another point discussed was the de-
lay of the law. It would seem, said
Judge Speer, that the old system of
judicial trial is carefully designed to
occasion delay and new trials.
The judges of the superior courts
should be given the power to sum up
the evidence, to aid but not to control
the jury, as was the practice at COM
mon law, and is now the practices in
the courts of the United States. If
this were done it is probable that
nine -tenths of the new trials in crimi-
nal cases would be avoided. To illus
trate how easy it is for judge to COM
NIT an error or the bench that results
in mistr1al on new trial, Judge
Speer referred to the action of Judge
Barrow in Savannah, who declared a
mistrial because of remark he had
himself made on the bench. Savannah
