This popular entertainer will appear in
the public hall, Rising Sun, on Wednes-
day evening, Feb. 81. He says funny
things in prose. verse and dialect com
poses music and draws pictures. His

impersonations and poems would please
any audience without the pictures, but the
Illustrations which he draws with great
rapidity, add the finishing touch. that

81 shooters took part in the program,
consisting of ten Io-bird events for a
total OF 100 targets. The Weather was all
that could be desired if you like cold
weather. as the mercury stood 4 above all
day. This. coupled with the wind. made
good scores very scarce. The Elkton
Gun Club was organized two weeks ago
with As members and this shoot was
given as an Initial tournament. A com
modious club house will be erected in the
near future. and the attendance and in
terest shown at this shoot would indicate

and silver spoons will be contested for at
each monthly shoot and it is planned to

A Tribute tO the Lafe John. D.
HeEEnDEailH.

DEAR SIR The late John j. Hemphill. Of
~ Washington, D. c., who died very suddenly
last May, was native Of South Carolina, and rep
resented the fifth district of Couth Carolina in
Congress from 1882 till 1892. We take two
papers published in Georgia. and were somewhat
surprised to see that there was not even mention
of his death in the Georgia papers.
Mr.. Hemphll was the ablest man that has rep
resented South Carolina since the war between
the States. He was man of rare accomplish
ments, commanding presence, fluent and elo-
quent speaker.
Mr.. Hemphill's speech in favor of the Morrison
bill in 1888, was considered one of the best that
had been delivered on the tariff question for many
years. | think it was largely used in the Glove
land and Harrison campaign of 1888 HemphiIl
was selected by the Democrats in 1890 to lead
the fight against the iniquitous force bill 1t was
then that he sprang full armed and equipped
into the arena of public discussion and achieved
a considerable reputation as a parliamentary
debater. His contest with Lodge on that occa-
sion was somewhat similar to the Blaine and
Hill debate over what Blaine termed the Ander-
sonVille horrors, when Hill completely annihil.
lated the great man from Maine.
l think it is very singular co-incident that a
man like Hemphill having represented in part
the great State of South Carolina, once the home
OF the great trio, Calhoun, Hayne and McDufie

THE JEFFERSONTAN
Gov. Brown has allowed himself to be

Gov. Brown has allowed himself to be
pushed.
In the first place he should never have
signed any such law as that of July 1912
In the second place, he used that dangerous
power too soon, he pressed it too far, and he
has maintained it too long.
l very much fear that dragons teeth have
been sown, and that the disastrous conse-
quences will be with us for many years.
For all time to come, the questions will be
asked
Why a0as Clarence Wilson and has aoife
and child shot at?
Why was the boy on the bicycle shot at?
What were Baker, Dorm and Christie
doing, or trying to do, to Justify their being
shot to death?
These questions can never be answered
There were no ropes, or planking to mark
the dead line.
Nobody had any lawful right to establish
a dead lne-saye for those evidently bent on
violence.
To kill a citizen for accidentally, unwit-
tingly, going beyond an invisible dead line,
IS BIURDER.
To kill an unarmed citizen, who is not
intending any crime, because he fails to halt,
when ordered, is MURDER.
Martial law has no place in time of peace.
It belongs to war
The Civil authorities ought not to be set
aside in this high-handed manner.
The history Of our race runs red with the
blood Of patriots who fought and died to
put an end to the martial zaoo Of Kings.
If our whole system is not founded upon
the subordination Of the military to the civil
arm, then [ have studied law, and read his
tory to no purpose.
knew that in Yankee-land the corpora
tions had so mastered manufacturing cities
that martial law could be proclaimed with
awful levity and enforced with horrible
brutality
But if the people generally are ready to
submit tamely to this destruction Of their
blood-bought rights, [ am grievously mis-
taken.
AS the facts about the wanton, and wholly
unnecessary butchery of those Augusta citi-
zens become widely known, and when people
reflect that the same thing may happen any
where, at any time, my opinion is that you
are going to hear the thunders Of public
Indignation roll.
Either that, or the people no longer care
for the civil liberties which their ancestors
fought to win.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-10-10

CLo people were IOrD1QQen to assemble and
discuss the situation.
we read that twenty-five men, of whom
eighteen were negroes, were found in a gang
near the Savannah River bridge, and that
they were arrested.
Yet, we turn to section twenty -four. of the
Constitution of the State of Georgia, and we
lind that the people are guaranteed the right
to assemble peaceably for their own good, and
to apply to those vested with the power of
Government for redress of grievances, by
petition or remonstance.
[ assume that if fifty of the good citi-
zens Of Augusta were to assemble. to remon-,
strate with Gov. Brown against his hurried
and altogether unnecessary proclamation of
martial law, Major Abraham Levy would
charge that crowd with fixed bayonets and
disperse it,
To this pass have Northern corporations
brought US in the State Of Georgia.

MARTIAL LAW IN TIbIE O6 PEACE IS ABso-
LUTELY UNCoNsTITUTIoN AND Is IN DEADLY
HOSTILITY TO THE VERY SPIRIT OF CIVIL
LIBERTY.
For any Mayor, or Governor to declare
that city or a county is in state Of insur7

there is no instruction whatsoever is crime

heels of the military
In this Richmond County case, the rights
of Sheriff John w. Clark were reclzlessly
disregarded
The conduct of the Mayor, instigated by
Boykin Wright was a gross and public
reflection upon the Chief of Police, as we'll
as upon the Sheriff.
In the United Editors Encyclopedia we
find it laid down that martial law properly
lis that military WILL which in time Of war
is conferred by the laws Of war in relation to
persons and things within the scope Of active
military operations; and which for the time
suspends civil rights and the remedies
pounded on them SO far as it may appear
necessary to the accomplishment of the pur-
pose of the war"
This was the accepted doctrine, as laid
down by Prof. Joel A. Parker in the North
American Review, October, 1861.

tial law in time of profound peace, ever
entered the head of any Governor of Georgia.
