THE GEORGIA MOB.

! The awful tragedy at Statesboro
Ga, yesterday shocks and sickens the
| imagination. The gruesome details
are too horrifying 10 read. IL was d
crime against law. against humanity,
against civilization, and disgrace to
Georgia. IL was doubly disgraceful
because il was SO utterly without rea-
son or excuse. The negro murderars
had been tried. convicted and sen
fenced 10 he hanged There was no
shadow OF reason To doubt that the
law would be cansed out. The law
ern juries when a negro Is the lie
PENDANT. The disgrace is further in
tensified by the reasonable suspicion
that the militia was in collision with
the mob A detachment OF the state
guard was on duty, WITH UNLOAD
ED GUNS! With the town of States
boro wild with excitement, full of de-
termined men bent upon taking the
law in their own hands, rumors of n
mob flying thick and fast through the
the crucial moment the militia, car
ried there for the express purpose Of
npholding the laws majesty and the
states dignity with the bullet, il
necessary. goes on duty with unloaded
gunsl What a trayesty! And yer,
after all, while there is no palliatioa
for the offense, the crime would as
likely have happened in any Northern
state. II was a dastardly murder A
welI-to-do, highly respected farmer is
shot down, together with his wife and
three children. in their own home By
a band of negro assassins. banded 20
gether to kill and rob. Events in Ohio
New Jersey, New York, and even in
our own state of Illinois too recent 10
be forgotten, give an idea of what
might have occurred had the whole
sale slaughter of white family taken
place. in any of these states. Even
in our neignbor state of Indiana, as
appears in the news columns of this
mornings paper. only the alertness of
the officers OF the law saved vlctini
from mob's fury yesterday.
Southern blood is hot. and there's
one thing it will no; temporize with,
and that is negro lawlessness. Some
times il is hEsty. often unreasonable,
frequently beastl.-' in its revenge-as
IL was at Statesboro yesterday-but
Northern people do not know thar
many times even the outlawry of the
mob seems almost a necessity at the
far South. The burning in Georgia
yesterday, however. was not one Of
them. There can be no defense for
that wild, unclaimed passion of he'll
turned loose, and Georgia must cover
her head in shame.

Daniel Webster used TO tell a story
about an old woman who was very i'll
and went into a trance. They all
thought she was dead. and when she
opened her eyes her husband said In
surprised tone, why, Mandy, we
thought We wuz dead" The poor old
woman looked at her husband a mo-
ment. and then she burst into tears.
And We never bawled a bit" she
sobbed. "Ye thought | wuz dead, and
yer eyes wuz dry. Couldn't We have
bawled little bit, Jabez" The old
man was deeply moved. and he did ac-
tually bawI then. But his wife said
sadly ITS too late now. Dry yer
eyes. If I'd really been dead and ye'd
bawled 'twould have done me some
good But>it's too late now"

PRACTICING ECONOMY.

If one wishes TO be truly economical,
q good place to begin isat the coal-bin.
Oh, the coal which is wasted in many
Of our homes, simply because those in
charge do not understand the care of
a fire! 1t is one thing to keep a good
fire with the hampers wide open, and
quite another with the hampers
closed, If one is ironing, baking, or
doing anything which calls for hot
fire, why, Of course, the hampers
must be so arranged as to allow the
desired heat; but it is a woful waste
of coal to keep a red-hot fire all the
time To let the fire come up fairly
well and then close the draughts
tightly, until the heat Is needed, is the
true way Of economizing. And. then,
a few clnders will do wonders for Il
kitchen fire, even keeping it well over
night, when fresh coal would fail. 1
burn one hod, of coal each day, in ex-
IRENE weather little more, in my
kitchen stove, and rarely put on fresh
coal after making the fire in the morn
ing. l then fill the fireboX full of
coal, open and shut the draughts ac-
cording to the work to be done, after
dinner rake it a very little, cover with
cinders, adding a few more after sup
per, and in the morning have a good
fire, with steaming hot water in the
kettle. Sometimes, IL the day has
been a windy one, the fire will be gone,
but the water still hot.
The new enterprise. (Madison, Fla.) 1901-1908, 1904-06-02
CAMPHoR is EXCELLENT.

To get rid Of moths, procure shaw
ings Of camphor wood and enclose in
bags. Allspice berries sprinkled among
clothes or the seeds Of the musk plant
are effectual in driving moths out.
TO destroy eggs when deposited in
woolens, use a solution Of acetate Of
potash in spirits Of rosemary, fifteen
grains to the pint. One woman who
has been housekeeping for a number
Of years claims that she has found
benzine to be more effective than any
other preventive of moths.
Quite a dainty method OF barring
ont moths, employed by a girl in the
city, is to drop any strong ammonia
essence upon small pieces Of sandal
wood. She then distributes them
among her hat boxes containing win.
ter's furs and feathers.
Everyone has her own method Of
destroying or preventing moths, but
the methods given above are tried
and proven and have not been found
wanting.
