Frozen in the South.

New Orleans, Feb. 2.-Reports
from Plaquemine Parish, the great
orange grove OF Louisiana, indicate
that widespread damage has been
wrought to the orange crop.
The orange trees were in bloom
and the lowest temperature in years
was recorded yesterday mornin 6,
when the mercury suddenly dropped
to 20 degrees above zero. 1t is
feared the greater part of the crop
has been killed.
John Washington, a negro, was
found yesterday morning, frozen to
death in gutter in the lower part
of the city. 1t has been many years
since anyone was frozen to death
in New Orleans.

The Way 10 Stop Crime.

The city of London, with more
than double the population of
Georgia, has an avera je annual
murder record of %, not more than
are committed in our State some
times within one week. Why? Not
because the people of London are
better than our people, for nowhere
else in the world are so many bad
and vicious people punched togeth-
er as in the great English capital.
This immunity from murder which
London enjoys is due to the fact
that murder is punished. In the
last four years there have been on
ly four cases in London where the
person who committed the crime
failed of being punished for it as
the law directs.
Certain punishment for crime
will not stop all crime, but it will
come very near it. Because the
man who fails to take out a FEEDER
al license to sell liquor is certain of
being punished for it, this law is
very rarely violated. Because a
blind tiger is very rarely punished,
and then, but lightly, this law is
treated almost as a dead letter and
its violation regarded more as a
joke than a crime. And because
only a very small percentage of
murderers are punished our murder
record is so great that the world
regards us as barbarianS. Atlanta

The Rev. J. D. Lewis, pastor of the First Cumberland Presbyterian church, has issued the following:
 'The members and friends of the First Cumberland Presbyterian church Of this city are each and all requested to be at our place of worship at the Birmingham seminary chapel. Fifth avenue, near Eighteenth street, Sunday morning at Il O clock to be in a praise and thanksgiving service to our loving Father for the very great victory through the supreme court of the state of Tennessee in giving us all our church property in this great state and for causing the Presbyterian church, U. s. A., in that state and elsewhere to know that we have both legal and moral right to exist as a church of God. We also desire to praise and thank the Giver of all good for the recent decision in the court of appeals of the state of Indiana fin our favor, and for the many like de- cisions in the lower courts of other states from time to time, and also for our very bright prospects of gaining our property in Birmingham and all over the state of Alabama. This Is in keeping with an authoritative call, made for our churches everywhere to observe at the ssme-hour.
