CHAPTER Xxx.

For moment as they drew under shell

was nothing the defense could do but
dodge. Then. leaving him at the edge of
the pool and kicking before them the one
cowed and covering shirker of the little
band. Blakely and the single trooper still
unhit, crept back to the rocky parapet. Sc
cured carbine each and knelt, staring up
the opposite wall in search of the foe. And
not a sign of Apache could they see.
Yet the very slant of the arrow it
pierced the young soldier the new angle
at which the bullets bounded from the
stony crest, the lower, fatter fight of the
barbed missiles that struck the fire from
the fiinty rampant, all told the same story.
The Indians during the hours of darkness.
even while dreading to charge, had man

along the cliff and to creep closer up the
stream bed. and with stealthy. noiseless
hands to rear little shelters of stone, be-

absolutely stop lynchings for rape, but
speedy trials tend to lessen the number
and practically serve as a preventive of
lynchinRs for other offenses.
'It is interesting in this connection to
note that the numerous lynohings in the
north and northwest Of late have brought
forth such an expression from the Presi-
dent. while the number Of them in the
south has been SO few within the same
period as to- attract little or no attention.
Gov. Heard's Views.
In discussing the letter of President
Roosevelt to Gov. Durbin of Indiana, Gov.
Heard of Louisiana. in an interview at
Baton Rouge last night said:
II think the remedy for lynch law Is
prompt and speedy trial. The law should
be relieved of its technicalities by which
criminals are able to get long and repeated
delays. There is one point on which
strongly dissent from the Presidents view.
He seems to think that the punishment
meted out to negroes for certain nameless
crimes Is punishment especially aimed at
them by reason of their color. His mlscon.
ception arises doubtless from the fact that
this crime is limited almost exclusively to
the colored race. The punishment knows
of no distinction of color. White men rare
ly commit this crime, but when they do the
record shows that it matters little In what
section 1t occurs the same punishment uSu-
ally follows.
Think Negroes Should Speak.
A special to the New York World from
Richmond Va, says: Gov. Montague. when
asked for an expression on President
Roosevelt's letter, said:
1T is very appropriate. It Is an earnest
plea for order and worthy of the highest
commendation. His appeal to the negroes
to denounce the crime for which lynching
is most frequent is timely, for the failure
to denounce often amounts to condona
ton"
The governor said that there had been
four attacks of the kind in Virginia on
white women by negroes within a few
weeks. yet there had been no expression of
condemnation of the crime by negroes.
There has been no lynching," said he,
and 1t has only been necessary to call out
the militia in one case. Lynchers have
been convicted in this state and confined
to long terms in the penitentiary.'
Texas Governor Silent.
A dispatch from Austin, Tex, says: The
governor has nothing to say on President
Roosevelt's letter to Gov. Durbin.

VIEWS ON LYNCHING
GOVERNORS REPLY TO PRESI-
.JENT'S LETTER.
Gov. Durbin's Formal Acknowledge
ment of Its Receipt-What Others
Have to Say.

A dispatch from Indianapolis, Ind, yes
terday says: Gov. Durbin today sent
formal reply to the letter he received yes
terday from President Roosevelt concern
ing the recent mob at Evansville.
Gov. Durbin says:
Dear Mr.. President: Acting in accord
ance with the suggestion made by the secre-
tary to the President, l yesterday tele-
graphed you my approval of the communi-
cation you have seen fit to indorse to me
under date of August 6.
In doing this 1 proceeded on the we'll
warranted belief that the commentator
you have generously accorded to my
official acts was not only incidental to the
broader purpose of your admirable letter,
which Is a moving appeal to the con-
science and the patriotism destined, In my
opinion, to profoundly affect public sentl-
ment on vitality important national PROB
lem.
The effect of such an appeal from such
source is certain to be salutary in Its wide-
spread influences In this instance. as IN
other emergencies, you have spoken with
the courage of conviction. with the eio-
quence of earnestness and under the IN
spira ton of the clear understanding of and
devotion to the duties and responsibilities
of American citizenship.
II feel that you nave struck the keynote
of a national necessity when you say that
all public men, all writers of the press. all
clergymen, all teachers all who in any way
have a right to address the people. should
with every energy unite to denounce such
crimes and to support those engaged in
putting them down and declare the cor
related doctrine that we must show that
the law is inadequate to deal with crime by
freeing 1t from every vestige of technicality
and delay
Your stirring words will serve to press
home upon the people a responsibility
which, reaching beyond all those in author
ity Is, after all. essentially their own. To
arouse the realization of that responsibility
and all that it implies will be to eradicate
conditions which otherwise may soon be-
come, you point out cleverly, i'm
minent menace to every life of the repub-
lie
Gov. TerrelPs Views.
= dispatch from Atlanta, Ga, yesterday
says: Gov. Terrell today Endorsed the con-
tents of President Roosevelt's letter to
Gov. Durbin of Indiana in regard to the
recent action of Gov. Durbin to prevent
lynchings in that state.
Gov. Terrell gave the following signed
statement to the Associated Press this
morning:
Il think President Roosevelt Is on the
right line. and l am in hearty accord with
the views he expresses. The majesty of
the law should be upheld, but at the same
time there should be prompt and speedy
trial of The offenders in the case of that
crime which most frequently excites the
anger of the mobs and leads to lynchings,
and the punishment should not be delayed
by technicalites

laws in Georgia as to have speedy trials

cial term of the court to try criminals.

PURCHASE OPERA
HOUSE BLOCK
Floersheim Mercantile Company te
Re.Establish at Springer as
Result of Big Fire.

To build upon the ashes of it's past
success
This is the stand taken by the
F1oersheim Mercantile Company,
which month ago saw it's big general
store and warehouses at Springer, go
up in smoke, nothing being saved
from the flames Nothing daunted by
the heavy loss suffered, and still be-
lieving in the business possibilities OBJ
tainable by maintaining general
store and warehouses in the town, the
company has purchased the H. M. Por-
ter Opera House block, and on the
ashes of its recent losses, will re-es-
tablish in the town of Springer even
a larger business than 1t heretofore
conducted. Thus as consequence the
loss sustained will result in great good
to the town.
The Floersheim Mercantile Com
pany paid $4,000 in cash for the opera
house block, and already has large
force of men at work converting the
structure into a modern general store
room and warehouses. Business will
be carried on during the time taken to
make the necessary renovations, and
the firm expects to be open and ready
for business in its new quarters by
