Georgians Ratify Amendment Provid,

ing Local Taxes for Schools.
Georgia ratified the amendment to
the constitution providing a method
Of securing local taxation for public
schools, by majority Of more than
10000 votes.
This is the official result as finally
arrived at by Secretary Of State Phil
Cook, after the consolidation of the
vote from 100 counties, and which re.
quired two days hard work. Secretary
Cook completed first the consolidation
OF the vote on the constitutional
amendments because he knew that
was the matter Of greatest interest,
and the people Of the state were anx.
ious to know the result.
OF course, the three other amend.
ments to the constitution, one limit
ing the tax rate to s mills, another
providing for eight additional counties
and the third providing for eight more
representatives in order to give one
to each Of the rev counties created
were passed by good major!ues.

Among the numerous superstitions
OF The Cossacks there is none stronger
than the belief that they will enter
heaven in better state il they are
personally clean at the time they are
killed. Consequently, before an ex.
pected battle they perform their toilets
with scrupulous care, dress Themselves
in clean garments and put on the best
they have. This superstition is not
confined to the Cossacks alone, but is
widely prevalent, 1t is said, in all
branches OF the Russian Army.

rial:
Governor Hayward deserves the
commentator not of South Carolin.
ians alone, but of all southerners. for
the prompt and effective methods he
has employed to bring TO trial the men
charged with being implicated in the
recent lynching in Berkeley county.
As told in The CONSTITUTIONS dis.
patches from Columbia, the governor,
not being satisfied with the efforts of
the local officials to run down the al.
legged lynchers, sent detectives into
the county with the result that five
men must now face trial.
The governor has taken steps 20 in
sure not only the arrest but the trial,
free from intimidation, of the men
who, according to the testimony ad-
duced, are under suspicion of having
committed the crime in question. In
his efforts he has had the hearty sup.
port of the leading newspapers of
South Carolina, who have been most
earnest in their protest against mob
law.
In that state, as in every other
state Of the south, the sentiment is
overwhelmingly against lynching, and
if the authorities are all as determined
as Governor Hayward In their efforts
TO find and bring to punishment the
men charged with this crime against
state authority, the days Of lynching
lawlessness will be numbered.
1t Will not require many such evi.
dences of determination to punish
lynching, such as Governor Hayward
has given, to let the mob understand
there is no place for 1t in the southern
states. Once the lawless elements un-
derstand this, there will be no more
outbreaks 10 bring damage and danger
and disgrace upon this section.
1t is impossible to overestimate the
value to the entire south of such an
act as that of Governor Hayward.
That act shows, more clearly than any
words can, where the good people of
South Carolina stand, and not only
that state, but all others, are benefit.
