CHIEF JUSTICE LORE
CONDEMNS MOB SPIRIT
In Address at Chautauqua, ~ " He Argued That
the Only Safety Was in Obedience to the Law.
He Showed That Mob Violence Does
Not Lessen Crime But Breeds 1t
FEW MISCARRLAGES OF JUSTICE HERE

Chief Justice Charles b. Lore, OF this
city spoke before the Chautauqua AS
sociation at Chautauqua today on THE
Relation of Law to the Manifestation
Of the Mob Spirit"
1t was an able address. showing much
thought on the part OF the esteemed
jurist.
His address was listened to with great
interest by his hearers because Judge
Lore was from the seat OF recent
tragedy and spoke with authority.
knowing all the circumstances and facts
leading up to and following the burning
of the negro White at the stake.
While he admitted that the govern
ment is of and blythe people. the people
as body cannot enforce the law. He
further said that the origin of the mob
spirit is not always founded in evil. and
that free governments are more sub
ject to the mob spirits than despotism
or monarchies. Another point he made
was that lawlessness breeds crime and
does not check IT, Whenever it happens
the State is disgraced.
The remedy is not in hasty or fever
ish action of courts of justice, he said
In referring to the celebrated Neale
case which some used as an argument
in lynching White, he said that to call
that a failure Of Justice would be to
impeach the Supreme Court
The safety Of the people, he said, lies
in obedience to the. law.
In conclusion he praised the press
and pulpit, but condemned the Rev. r.
A. Elwood for his fiery sermon. Finally
he said there should be no words OF
encouragement for those arrested for
taking part in mob violence.
Address in Full.
The address in full follows:
In discussing our subject, "The Rela
tlon of Law TO This Manifestation OF IN,
Mob Spirit" We are brought in touch witt
one OF The evls. perhaps ehe evll. mos
dangerous TO Republican forms OF govern
ment
Cor government Is based upon writer
constitutions national and State, and
upon statute law, which define or lmi
the powers Of government and the right.
and privileges of the people. Its whols
frame work is written law Under this
law each citizen covenants with every
other citizen. what shall be the rights and
duties of each one toward the other and
to the government. Individual liberty
within such limits is given up to the
government for the public veal. This gov
ernmental power has three divisions
Evening journal., 1903-08-14

Legislative. executive and judicial, with
constituted agency for its efficient admin
istration. To these agencies within their
respective limits the people have given up
all their authority. BY these agencies
such authority must be administered from
the very nature Of the case.
The government being of and by the
people, where each individual voter Is
the interger of government and tho source
of all the power. It would be manfestly
impossible for the eighty millions Of our
people to get together and act as body
on all and every occasion ia legislative
executive or judicial function. while this
Is true Of our general government, it IS
equally true OF the people OF each State
constituting the United States.
Cannot Execute as Body.
Under we'll devised law this power has
been delegated by The people. and may
be recalled or modified only m pursuance
OF the written covenant. The people as a
body cannot execute. They must act
through agents. These agents however,
are at all times amenable TO the people
acting IN lawful channels and may be
changed at the peoples pleasure.
This being so, we are simply and pure
ly government Of law. Take away the
law and society dlssolves into its original
elements; each man following his own ar
bitrary will. so far as other more domi-
nant win or brute force permits. With as
therefore. government means obedience "a
law. Bawlessness means anarchy. Mol
law IS anarchy pure and simple. Anarchy
Is the rock upon which all ancient re-
publics have ultimately been wrecked
and IS today one Of the most threatening
evils for our republic.
Strangely enough, just at this period o
our national development, when by miqu
victories over oppression the Unite,
States has taken a dominant place amoni
the nations OF the earth, and az a tim
when our government seemed TO be mos
firmly rooted in public confidence, WI

revolving ard brutal exhibitions OF mol
violence recorded I'm history. our subiec
IS therefore one Of intense gravity.
Consideration Of Mob Spirit
Let us consider the mob spirit. with re-
spect to its origin it's effects. and its rem
edy.

TO call themselves the respectable element
of society, and are in the main well mean.

Subject to Mob Rule.

Free governments where the people are
the sources of power. are much more
subject TO the mob spirit. than dospotism
or monarchies. In the latter a standing
army is ever az the command of the des-
pot, 20 crush the mob. In the former the
army Is a part Of the people ordinarily
and often In sympathy with the mob, 30
that our very freedom subjects us 10
this form Of evil. The people in the mad
frenzy OF the moment, lawlessly take
back delegated power even though liberty
regulated by law receives thereby dead
ly wound. 1t is "a painful thought, that
this great government Of ours has this
elemental structural weakness with all Its
good. The mob spirit, will continue TO
exist In free countries, until all men
learn that our only safety Is In obedience
to law.

Special River Bulletin.

Washington, March 1.-THE wealth
er bureau this afternoon issued the
following special river bulletin:
From Cairo to Helena conditions
have become siigtly more threatening
since Tuesday. The rise is progress
ing at an increased rate and 3s feet
of water are expected at Memphis by
Sunday or Monady. A stage Of 80 feet
IS not improbable and precautions
should be made for that stage. The
White River has continued to rise
zapidIy, while the Arkansas is also
near high water stage, and the effects
OF these waters win be felt IN the main
river within short time.
Below Helena the rise will continue
steadily and maximum stages will
probably be reached as follows: Kans-
as City, 81 feet; Greenyille, 46 feet /;
Eicksburg, 80 feet.
The Mississippi below Vicksburg and
the Atchafalaya will continue to
rise for the next three or four weeks,
while the Red, below Shreveport, and
the Ouachita will continue to rise for
several days.

ALLIANGEMEN WANT RECEIVER.
Application for a Receiver for the
Farmers Alliance Fund,
Consisting of Deposit of $4,000 Now
in the Hands of the Alliance Exchange.

Columbia, March 10.-The Farmers
Alliance fund has gotten into the
Courts. The Alliance Exchange has
about SIC, 200 on deposit and suit has
now been brought asking for the ap-
pointment Of receiver and the dis
tribution of the fund among the in
dividaul members entitled to it. The
suit is brought in the name of II. E.
Brookshire, on behalf of himself, on
behalf of the stockholders of the Cash
Mill Sub-Alliance, and on behalf of all
other stockholders of the Farmers
Alliance Exchange of South Carolina,

and all other creditors of said Farm
ers' Alliance Exchange. defendant.
The plaintiff is represented by
Lawyers James Werner and Bellinger,
Townsend an Haskell. Application
has been made to Judge Ernest Gary
for the appointment of receiver, and
he has fixed the 21st of March as the
time for hearing arguments, if there
be oppoition to the appointment Of a
receiver, who is to marshal the assets
and distribute the fund, according to
the direction of the Court.
The complaint alleges that the AL
lance Exchange is not using the money
for the purposes for which the fund
was collected, and on that account the
money should be returned to those who
paid it for fear of its being dissipated.
The order is brief, but the complaint
corvers a great deal Of ground and
gives the history of the fund.
The Court will also be asked to hold
the fund in its entirety, as the direct
ors of the Alliance, it is stated, are
not now using the fund for the origin
al purposes.
1t is further ralleged that there are
debts or claims against the fund,
which ought to be met, and that some
decision should be had as to the validi-
ty of these claims.
The case is Likely to be interesting.

Mr.. Simpson, the Apiarian.

Mr.. H. G. Simpson, the we'll ll-known
apiarian at Catawba Junction, was
IN town Monday and remembered to
call and renew his subscription to The
Herald.
Mr.. Simpson has been in the bee
business since 1880 and has had great
deal of experience in that very inter
esting industry. He related as a
peculiar circumstance the fact that
last year he took from his 145 hives an
average Of II pounds from the stands,
while the year before the average was
% pounds, and in 1900 the average was
So pounds. Last year was the lowest
yield IN ten, though not as small as
he has known. The yield one season
Number of years ago was only four
pounds to the hive, while in another
year he has received return OF as
much as an average of 90.
Mr. Simpson thinks the conditions
in winter has much to do with the
yield of honey-he believes that a
winter with long continued rains will
affect vegetation so as to warrant a
rich supply, and dry winter the
reverse effect. Though the weather
conditions at time of flow of nectar
has the greater influence, provided
the winter weather has been favorable.
Mr.. Simpson sells nine-tenths Of his
honey IN Rock Hill His greatest re-
turn was in 1900, when he received
4,OO pounds land that was nearly all
sold in Rock Hill at an average of
about liz cents per pound. He is an
enthsuiast on the subject of bee cul-
ture and in this country is an author

CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles joints, and tissues, is ca;,sed i'y
uric acid which gathers in the blood. 10 set
rid of this poisonous acid which produces the
irritations, pains, agonies, inaan1malions, and
swellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine. falne,s
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt
cheering, and happy results. 1t is the only
medicine that prevents return OF the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared OF all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up. and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use OF Palne's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr.. S. D. Conway,

FLOOD SITUATION
STILL SERIOUS.
The Lower Mississippi RiVsr Con-
tinues TO Rise.
The Levees Are Still Holding But
the Government Report Predicts
a Further Rise in Rivers.

Memhis, Tenn. March 12.-There
is little change in the river siuation
tonight and although the rise today
has been slight the Southern situation
is still considered grave and stage of
more than 3S feet is still expected.
The gauge tonight shows g35.S and ris-
ing, an advance of two-tenths since
midnight last night.
DISPATCHES from Caruthersville say
that the situation here is practically
unchanged and that the embankments
will hold stage Of water three feet
greater than at present. These dis
patches are from private individuals
and if the government engineers have
received advices from Gainesville TO-
day they have not made them public.
Capt. Lucas, u. S. engineer in charge
of the first and second districts, left
today for Helena, Ark, to personally
inspect conditions in the White river
district. The government steamer
Mercury left today for Helena with sup
plies and men for Assistant Engineer
Levasseur, who is IA charge Of the
levee strengthening work at that point.
The Robert E. Lee left today for the
south carrying supplies and men for
the levee engineers at Cat Island,
where the rush of the waters through
the II mile gap in the levees is causing
uneasiness. The James Lee left for
the north with men and supplies for
the engineers az Pecan Point, where
strengthening work is in progress on
the embankment No news has been
received from the area in Mississippi
county, Ark. which was reported
flooded yesterday by water having
percolated through the embankments.
The engineers here say that the crest
of the rise will probably reach Memphis
Sunday unless there are further heavy
rains generally over the area drained
by tho tributaries of the Mississippi
in the meantime. They predict re-
cord breaking stage of water on account
of the fact that the levees are all hold
ing against the food. During the
high water of 1897 the river at Mem
phis was 407miles broad and there
were no embankments On the Arkans
as shore to back up the waters and
narrow the channel of the river. Should
the emhankments hold the crest of
the rise will pass Memphis quicker
than otherwise would be she case and
the danger of breaks in the levees be-
low this city will be greatly increased.
For this reason the situation below
Memphis is now that which is develop
ing most concern.
