TIRED OF LYNcHlNos.
Governor OF Georgia Tells His People
Some Plain Truths.


Governor Terrell OF Georgia, speak.
Ing Of tho possible result Of frequent
lynchings In his state. says:
The people Of Georgia should real.
ize that unless these lynchings are
stopped there is grave danger Of their
leading to legislation by congress
which would take the matter out Of
onr hands and caurc offenders to be
tried in tho United States courts OF
course this would be an interference
with state rights. but congress would
seek to Justify It on the ground that
the state courts had failed TO AFFORD
any remedy. The governor Of Geor.
sia, under our present laws, is power.
less either TO punish officials who arc
derelict In the performance OF their
duties. or to enforce the laws against
tho leaders Of mobs. These are mat.
tors which are entirely In tho hands
OF grand juries and the courts. and
over these the governor has absolutely
no authority.
