Of Mr.. A. A Yoder and wish to ex-
press my PERSONAL appreciate" for
your fairness to one who seems TO
have had TIA cnmity OF the ether
Richmond papers.
i was very deeply Interested In the
trial because ] know Mr.. Ioder per
sonally and we'll and without iurthsr
comment must say that the result of
the trial was the biggest surprise that
| have met with In years.
The reason of my surprise is that
the character of MIR. Yoder Is so well
known and so far above even the
shadow of reproach here In Lynch
burg where he has been known from
childhood THAT no one dreamed of
such thing as his character being
assailed.

court or the proceedings or anyone
in the case but, sir ! do wish to tell
the people OF Richmond who and what
Adon Soder Is. for / believe that there
is great field of usefulness for hmm
in that city If he is given even half
way chance.
Mr. Yoder is a native of Lynchburg
as has already been stated and be
/
very widely known here. He is "a
member of the College Hill Baptist
/ church and at this time holds - license
to preach given -him-hY- the AptiSf
church. and which license l do not
think that church has any inclination
whatever to recall because they have

spiritual character OF the man He

I intimately for several years and have
T known his standing With the people
at large and am prepared To say thai
his honesty and manliness are I'M
i questioned and that he has, in this
4 regard, the perfect confidence of al
who know him regard Mr.. Yedei
not only as true Christian gentle
man but also a a fearless enemy oi
unrighteousness and dishonesty.
His wife Is one of the most honoree
members of the Methodist Protestant

am so thoroughly convinced of tn,
honesty OF purpose of Mr.. -Yoder that
: though a poor man. I would consider

men to put up the sum OF $40 II
order to give him a chance to cleal

Defending the Law.

1t is fundamental in our government that the
local authorities shall preserve order IN their own
jurisdiction, and that the Governor shall not inter
fere and send troops in any OF disorder, unless
the Sheriff advises him that he is unable to control
the situation and asks for assistance. But that inn
plies that the Sheriff shall do his duty. The Gov
ernor is the chief executive officer of the State,
and it is his obligation to that the laws
ebeyed; that the majesty OF the law IS upheld
that life and property are protected from mob
violence.
Governor Dineen of Illinois, seems to take that
view of his duty. There outbreak at Cairo
several months ago and Governor Dineen took the
position that the Sheriff then in office had failed
to act with decision and purpose, and removed
him from his position. Sheriff Neis succeeded
him. and the Governor established the rule that
hereafter, when any community iii Illinois is guilty
of mob violence the sheriff and his deputies will be
held responsible to the extent that their positions
will be taken away from them.
The other night the mob broke out again. 1t is
usually the Lawlessness begets lawlessness-
one uprising is apt to be followed by another es-
pecally If in the first instance the mob is not dis
Ciplined. A mob of and boys attacked the
| jail without any great provocation. The objects
OF the mobs vengeance were negro boys accused OF
pocket picking But this mob reckoned without
the Sheriff. The defiant gang doubtless thought
that Sheriff Neis was like his predecessor. They
were in error. The Sheriff ordered the mob to
dsperse and as his order not obeyed, he
ordered his deputies to fire. Several wounded
and one was killed. But the mob fell back and the
law was indicated Some may say that the pick
pockets were not worth such sacrifice. hat Is
not the question at all. The Sheriff not pro-
tecting the pickpockets, per Sc. He was defending
the law.
The Governor OF Illinois, and the Sheriff OF CAIRO
have done public service for which law-abidng
citizens in all States will honor them.

A Discovery.

The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot under the heading
THE Truth Is Out, announces startling dis
covery. From the first contemporary has m
sisted, It says,
that the Byrd -Wickham BILL while professedly de-
signed only to 'straighten the James River Baylor
lines. with view to facilitating adequate policing
of the public grounds in that locality, was really
intended entering wedge to split the existing
Survey to smithereens, not in the James River
alone but in the other waters of the Common
wealth as we'll and so to hand over by piecemeal to
private planters every square loot OF natural seed
bed in the State.
And now the truth is out. Commissioner Lee
has revealed it in his newspaper, the Virginia Citizen
Dealing with the Byrd -Wickham bill in its issue
of February 18TH the Citizen says
While the patron is Mr. Byrd it is not the bill
he first contemplated introducing and which he
announced would break the Baylor Survey He
was persuaded out of that, and this present bill Tor
re-establishing 'breaking'-the Baylor Survey
in James River Was accepted by HIM as COM
promise through persuasion
There is nothing startling in that. MIR. Byrd
has made no secret of the fact that he desires to
break the BAYLOR Survey" and that the present
bill is only the entering wedge He said so when
he inspected the oyster grounds several months ago,
He has said repeatedly since he introduced ms
7 bit II our Norfolk contemporary did not see
the statement, it not so alert and keen-visaged
as usual
But what Of it? What is the Baylor Survey
Who knows where the lines are? DR.. Moore de-
clared in his talk before the Committee on the
Chesapeake and its Tributaries that in making this
survey, Capt Baylor did not himself examine the
oyster beds Commissioner Lee verified the state
ment rhe Baylor Survey is largely myth, but
whether so not, there is no reason why 1t should
not be broken" by act Of the Legislature, II by
breaking" it, the oyster industry may be developed
and made more profitable to the State, without
deprivng the tongers of any of their constitutional
rights. No newspaper is more jealous OF the rights
of the people than The Nirginian. No newspaper
would be more swift to defend the natural rock
against encroachment, But it is absurdy unfair tt
Speaker Byrd and men like him who have the IN
terests of the State at heart say that they are
parties to deep laid plot to take the natura
rock from tye people and give it to the rich plant
ers." We are surprised that wise and so air {
newspaper as the Virginian-Pilot should intimate
such thing. 1t is a charge which should not b'
made without substantial proof.
Mr.. Byrd proposes nothing more than that thu
lines shall be so changed as to allow unproductiv
bottoms now embraced within the Baylor Surve,
to be forced out. 1t has entered his head Il
rent out the natural rock.
