The Georgia whipping case turns
out quite different from the
first reports sent out from the prs
on. The investigation showsthas the
warden did not exceed his authority
in the punishment administered AND
that it was inflicted for insubordina'
ton instead OF for the reason the CIR
gave, which the inspectors declare
was a Islander. This case has DeeI
needlessly magnified into a horrible
crime, and a lasting stain upon the

THE EFFECT OF A TYPOGRAPHICAL
ERROR.

1t isnot often that Autographed
error amounts to anything oris even
noticed in our daily reading. Some
times such errors are found in i'm
portant documents, and serious
losses occur. For instance, not
many years since one of the depart
ments in Washington lost a large
congressional appropriation because
OF the omission OF comma. But
the public nor the amateur critic,
aspires to such scientific hair-split-
ting exactness in such matters as
the high salaried government official
does, who analyses these things
through gold trimmed glasses that
give us such a Solomonic appear
ance to those who are not the happy
possessors OF this much important
eye apparatus, and who stand amazed
at our extensive knowledge. And so
small errors OF the printer, or PROOF
reader, are passed by almost With
ont notice by the common reader.
Yet. down in Georgia, and especi-
ally among some of the colored
people. anything found in print, and
particularly II 1t is found In an alma
nae. stands as the unalterable truth,
whether it contains what the alma
nae maker meant to write or not
In that State they print Grier's al
manac-it is a home institution with
them-and is the oracle for all nat
ural events and happenings, and No
one dares to dispute what it con-
tains. A week or so ago Rev. Love-
ioy. q colored pastor at Gainesville,
was studying the almanac and found
that on the 25th OF November, ac-
cording to the Seer, the sun was to
90 down at one minute after one
o'clock in the day. Turning to
Amos, sth chapter and 9th verse, he
read-"Aud it shall come to pass on
that day, saith the Lord, that | will
cause the sun to go down at noon,
and | will darken the earth In the
clear day." Putting the two to-
gether that great and noble day
passed before his vision and be saw
the end of time on the 10Th OF No
yember, when the sun was Ito go
down at noon," according to Proi.
Grier.
Taking the above quoted verse from
Amos as the text the next Sunday
he preached a world-ending sermon
to his congregation, producing the
two iniallible authorities, which
agree one with the other. As hepro-
crossed in his sermon he became eio-
ouent and convincing, and the con-
gregation became alarmed and the
excitement was intense. As the
preacher warmed up in his descrip-
ton Of the passing away OF theearth'
with its great noise amidst the black
ness OF darkness that should accom-
pany it, the congregation, overcome
with fright, began to scream and
make all kinds OF unearthly noises,
the women tainted and the utmost
confusion followed, which was kept
I'D for several hours. And all on ac-
count of typographical error.

THE LAWS DELAYS.

Justice Brewer, OF the L. 5.
Supreme Court, in an article just pub
l.shed In Leshe's Weekly, advocates
a change In criminal procedure which
xill doubtless be met by a wide dit
ference OF opinion as to it advisable
ity. Discussing the prevalent epe-
demic Of lynching Justice Brewer
points out the only remedy in sure,
spsedy Justice for evil doors, and TO
bring about the desired end he advo-
Gates the abolition OF the right OF
appeal in criminal cases. Despite the
fact that the right OF appeal has al
WAYS been an established institution
in this county, IT can hardly be de-
MED that our present system ofcrim-
inal procedure Is cumbersome
slow and altogether too technical one
Criminals guilty OF the worst crimes,
and OF whom the world should be rid
at short notice, live for months and
months and at times for years OH the
fat Of the land while their case slow
ly winds It's way through q maze oil
legal technicalities from one court to
another, while justice stands with
dropping head victim OF the law 8
delays. All of this, so far as crimi-
nal cases are concerned, Justice
Brewer would put an end to by abol-
ishing the right Of appeal. 1t can
hardly be doubted that each and
every wrong doer would have no
cause to complain OF lack OF justice,
since, thanks to the honesty and In
tegrity Of our judges and iuries, there
IL no chance OF Intentional injustice,
and while there are instances and
many OF them, as Justice Brewer
points out, where appeals are granted
ON some technicality, at the same
time the appellate court is ofteniully
convinced OF the guilt of the accused.
In England there does not exist the
right to appeal In these cases, and
yet the English system OF justice has
been the bulwark OF liberty and law
In that country for 10 these many
years. We do not know that Justice
Brewers suggestion would put an
end to lynching, but we believe that
were his idea carried out there would
be much less danger OF mob violence
than there is at present. For the
one crime, from the commission OF
which lynchings usually emanate,
there seems no penalty Satisfactory
but the immediate death OF the brute
who commits it. When the law is
ready to do immediate justice then
lynchings may terminate.

Il was a subject OF remark by
many that at the reunion Of Mosby's

shat the national colors were to be
seen in all the decorations and pa

conspucious at all gathering OF Con-
fedsrate veterans? II IL our flag
the ensign OF our country-and
should be reyered as such and dis
played on all proper occasions. The
fact Is, everything that made the
country, and tho flag that represents
It, are Southern productions and
should be loved and respected by
Southern people especially. The
Declaration OF Independence was the
product OF a yirginian, the Constitu-
ton OF the United States was the
work Of a virginian, and the flag

with and was made by a Maryland
matron. Therefore, wehave a right
to claim them all as the contribu-
tions Of the South. OF which we are
proud today, and pronounce them
grand and glorious when they are
properly construed, operated and
used. We can do this and teach our
children to reverence them, without
forgetting our comrades who stood
side by side with us and the memory
OF those who fell at our sides In the

must enrich the pages Of our history
