breaches ON LYNCHING.
Rev. Howard Cree Declares Mob
Violence Does Not Prevent Crime
Or Check It.

Augusta, October 29.-Rev. How
ard T. Cree. pastor OF the First
Christian church, preached an able
and eloquent sermon on lynching, his
theme being: THE Worth of the
Law and the Inhdelity of the Mob
Spirit In the course OF his re-
marks Mr.. Cree referred to the re-
cent lynchings in Georgia and also
the able charge of Judge H. C. Ham
1nond to the grand jury On last Mon
day morning.
Mr.. Cree declared that he had been
where the negro had been burned at
the stake. he knew OF the vile crimes
for which they were summari1y dealt
with, he is democrat and knew
something of the nature OF the negro,
lie had defended the south and south
ern sentiment in the universities of
the north. and therefore felt that he
was privileged to speak before those
he loved.
Zone phase is paramount just
tow," he declared. "It is the negro
and the crime-the negro and the
punlshment-the negro and 1ynching.
Those who take the law in their
hands say, and too often justly, that
the lew can be criticised. They say
1t is 30 slow and imperfect OF ad-
Dnln:>traticn. It is human law, and
like ali things human, is faulty. has
its i71;'er:Ast features. Yet the best
way f. correct the defects of the bad
law, to secure its repeal, is to enforce
1t. Execution of the laws mean, the
exposure of the defects and rectif-
cation by fair and impartial people.
Courts are slow and justice some
times miscarries, yet justice must be
slow and deliberate to safeguard the
interests of all.
GA disregard of law is inhdelity. I
can use no stronger term 1t is in
fidelity to the sacred past. Tradition
al inheritance is to be treasured, not
trodden under foot. We are debt
ors. 1t should not be squandered. It
is inh9 ~iity to Our fathers who Sc
cured it to us at no little cost. They
died for the principles it represents.
Law is the crystallized expression of
their best efforts at civilization and
progress in the past.
''The recent lynching at Statesboro
was inhdelity to the officers of that
county and the state. Georgia will
not soon live down this record. Our
escutcheon has been stained. It is
our shame.
'Lynching has every mark of reck-
lessness and none Of sanity. 1t does
not prevent crime; it does not even
check it. 1t begets a spirit of law
lessness in ourselves, it spreads to
the community and is handed down
to posterity. Individual redress is
barbaric and wholly out OF keeping
with modern civilization"

EVERY DEMOCRAT IN HONOR
BOUND TO VOTE NOV. 8
Chairman Yeomans' Appeal to the Democrats
Of Georcia

To the Democrats OF Georgia: In
the recent primary nominating state
house officers, congressman and county
officials, by the Democratic party, there
were over 10000 white Democratic
votes cast. These votes also selected
delegates to the state Democratic con-
vention, which. in turn, chose dele
gates to the national Democratic con-
vention that nominated Judge Parker
for President.
Under the terms extended by the
State Executive Committee, every sim
gle one of these voters who participant
ed in this primary is in honor bound
to vote for the Democratic nominees
of the party. 1t is the duty of every
Democrat who voted in that primary
to go out and cast his ballot in the
general election. The apathy which
too often prevails about voting I'm the
general election subjects the South to
unjust criticism in the nation, and
every loyal Democrat owes the duty
to his party to go to the polls on Nov.
g. and vote for every single Democratic
nominee.
After the populist party had run its
course in Georgia the State Executive
Committee opened the doors wide and
invited all to return to the old Demo-
cratic fold. The vote i'm the recent
primary shows that this invitation was
accepted. Surely there are none who,
after accepting this invitation and in
honor binding themselves by voting in
the primary, would now openly oppose
the nominees of this very primary, and
fight the very Democratic candidates
they helped to nominate.

The ALTMANS ARE
FOUND NOT GUILTY
MIDNIGHT VERDICT RETURNED.
THE RESULT WAS NOT ENTIRELY
UNEXPECTED.

The Altman Brothers Were Charged
With the Murder of jackson Dun
can-The Case Had Grown to Ne a
Famous One Because of the Prom
inence of the Parties Involved ana
the Incidents of the killing and
Those That Followed at Baxter,
Fla.
Folkston. Ga. Oct. 2s.-At midnight
tonight a verdict of not guilty was
brought in by the jury that was try
ing Hillary and Charles Altman for
the murder of Jackson Duncan.
The jury had been out for hours. The
verdict was not entirely unexpected,
though opinion was divided as to
whether the verdict would be not guilty
or whether a mistrial would be de-
clared.
The case is well known. The Altman
brothers were charged with having
killed Jackson Duncan on train go
ing from Jacksonville to their home
at Baxter, Fla, some weeks ago.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-10-30

Every voter who participated in this
primary and supports either the Re
publican or Populist candidate for
President in the ensuing election would
be not only guilty of political treach-
cry. but would eliminate himself per-
nfanently from all affiliation with the
Democratic party or future right to
participate in its party primaries or
conventions. The most vicious enemies
the Democratic party now have are
led by those who, taking advantage of
former estrangement among the white
voters of Georgia. are now seeking TO
divide them again-and In manner
that can do no possible good to any
but the Republican party. and which
can only injure the Democracy.
The fact that the candidate of this
party for the Office OF President comes
from Georgia places an added duty
upon every true Democrat in Georgia
TO do his part to roll up a majority
that will answer back to the country
for this assault on the party. A move
ment headed by these disorganizers, II
II ever amounts to anything in Geor-
gia, or the South, can alone result in
dividing the white people and giving
the negro the balance of power.
In Judge Parker we have an able,
clean and incorruptible leader running
upon a platform OF sound Democratic
principles, and there never existed
stronger. reasons since the days OF re-
construction for voting the Democratic
ticket than in this election.
On behalf of the Democracy of Geor-
gia, and the State Executive Commit
tee, appeal to every loyal Democrat
to do his duty on Nov. s.

Chairman state Democratic Execu-
tive Committee.

place kick over the bars.
After the second kickoff, Carlisle
rushed Virginia to her 15-yard line
Council dropped back for a punt, but

on Virginia's 45-yard line, and put a

final score.
Substitutes were freely used in the

by the fierceness of the play. Flores,
Carlisle's right end, was sent to the

the Season.

the Season.
New York. Oct 29.-Outclassed in
every department of the game. the
Columbia football eleven was defeated
by Yale at American League Park
his afternoon by a score of "a to 0.
In their five contests this was Yales
most decisive victory. In the first
half Columbia held Yale to u to 0,
and showed at intervals good football
form. In the second period the game
was a rout for the local eleven, Yale's
players jamming their way through
the whole Columbia eleven for big
gains. Columbia's reverse in the sec
ond half was due largely to her lack
of substitutes.
Columbia's best bit of work was
shown at the start of the game when
Metzenthin caught Roraback's kick
off and, eluding nine of the Yale elev-
en-, rushed seventy yards down the
field before Hoyt caught him and
prevented Columbias quarterback
from scoring a touchdown that for a
moment looked certain.
Capt. Stangland of Columbia was Sc
riously hurt in the first few minutes
of play and was forced to leave the
game. His absence crippled Columbia
seriously.
