Statesboro. Ca. Sent. 6.-In his re-
cent sermon on Mob Law and Its Re-
suits" Rev. Whitley Langston said, in
discussing the Hodges murder and the
lynching of the negroes, Reed and
Cato:
81 have been criticised by some folks
for giving the names of members Of
the mob who lynched the two negroes,
whom 1 had tried to prevent having
anything to do with the matter. here
and now make the last explanation or
statement in regard to that part of my
action. Having been subpoenaed to
appear at the court of inquiry, as soon
as Capt. Crice arrived / went to the
hotel and asked to be relieved from the
duty of testifying, not that l wished to
shirk any duty as citizen, but, be-
cause / naturally do not want to be
instrumental in getting my friends into
trouble. Capt. Grice promised to re-
lieve me IL it were possible to do so,
but during the inquiry came to me and
said the court could not excuse me. /
then consulted attorneys as to whether
/ could be forced to testify. | found
that there we're three alternates: First,
refuse to answer questions, be held in
contempt of court. and put in Jail;
swear to lies or divulge the names of
the mob leaders. certainly preferred
the latter. For this I have been ac-
cused of talking and preaching for the
sake of stirring up strife. Those peo-
pie may continue lying as much a they
please / do not intend to make any
retractions, apologies or further expla-
nations of my actions, except to say
that I am personally responsible for all
l did. both in public and private.
begged the people, both In public and
private. not to engage in lawless acts
before the trial Of the negroes. and
since some Of the people would not
take my advice. | cannot be expected
to perjure myself in a court of justice
to shield them from the clutches of
the law"
some folks say that the divine law
and religion will do in some cases,
but in others they will not do. That
is to say, Il is sometimes right to re-
sort to mob law for the punishment
for crime. II ever there is an excuse
for lynching It Is in the case OF as
sault But even then the spirit OF
mob law is pernicious Death at the
stake Ia not limited TO punishment for
assault and the practice once begun
leads to other crimes. Last year there
were l06 persons lynched IN the United

comparison is impossible.
The first session of the Grand En-

A striking feature of the parade was
the presence in the line of the Earl OF

the Templar order, representing the
knights Templars of England ana

there was a simultaneous volley from
a score of shotguns and pistols at
the body, with the result, peculiarly
enough, that both arms We're COM
pletely severed from the body from
the contents of guns loaded with
buckshot.
The negro died game and without a
finch. He asked for no mercy and
was given none. Just prior to the ex-
ecution, which occurred about 4 o'clock
in the morning, Sheriff Walker arrived
upon the scene and begged the mob to
deliver the prisoner into his keeping,
but to no avail.
At dawn the party dispersed, leaving
the negro's lifeless form dangling in
the air. With the exception of two in
stances, there was no rashness.
Just before. the lynching the mob
visited the still and paid their re-
spects to PEARSON Pitts" a negro

With wonderful GOODNESS the young
lady then attempted to eject him, but
finding his strength far superior she
fled from the room, when Bradley di
rected the aim of his gun at her, but
without effect.
Mr. Bradley was attracted by the
gun shots and came Immediately to his
home but upon his arrival the negro
had gone.
