again appeared at the Naval Aca-

that class who are the ones against

that the new administration had not
discovered any indicationsof the con-
tinuance Of the practice, but that
under the new hazing laws little
difficulty would be experienced in
nipping its re-establishment in the
bud.
The practice as now said to exist is
mild. Besides some Of the old
features, the new stunts" accord
ing to those who say they expert
enced them, include the "elephan

take place in the mess hall, "relay

EVE and THE LEMON.
id Eve hand Adam a lemon?

Did Eve hand Adam lemon?
That is the question now that is agi-
tating the public mind. A preacher OF
prominence has said that it was le-
mon that tha first lady of the land
temptingly rendered the unsuspecting
partner of her daily joys.
Whether the higher criticism Or in
gratitude in politics has precipitated
the discussion we know not, but it is on
in earnest and everybody might as
well get ready to line up on the side of
either the lemon or the apple. It is a
fruitful discussion any way you put it.
The Bible does not say that it was an
apple, but as the apple has generally
been considered easy fruit, of course
the blame was put upon the apple in
theifrst stages of the discussion.
The Atlanta Journal is firmly con-
vinced that a lemon was what Eve
handed out.

script there were Y lynchings during
1906 in the United States against 81 in
1905, 81 in 1904, 1O4 in 1908, 96 in 1902
and 1876 in 1901.
The victims of the y 1ynchings OF
the year were one negro woman, two
white men and SO negro men, The
crime charged to the two white men
was murder, and this is true of the
negro woman. OF the SO negro men,
IA were charged with criminal assault,
10 with attempted criminal assault and
one with assault and murder. There
were 81 lynchings of negroes charged
with murder, five murders having
been charged against one of the vic
Tins, four against another and two
against another. The rest were killed
for such offenses as stealing calf,
stealing a silver dollar, carrying a
posals to white women, and misce-
genation.
According to this report Mississippi
has more 1ynchings to its credit than
any other State Q3) while Georgia and
Louisiana came next with nine each.
Texas and Florida with six each, and
Alabama and the two Carolinas with
five each. All the Southern States are
found in the list, including Missouri,
with three lynchings and Maryland
with one. No Northern State-not even
Illinois and Ohio-appears in the list
of 1906.
This is a bad exhibit for the South,
notwithstanding that she has had to
deal with a large element of lawless
negroes, and the record will do us no
good. Lynching breeds 1awlessness
and causes the people in those COM
munities where it is in vogue to set a
lower estimate than they should upon
human life.
