Victim Pleads for
Breaking Up of Traffic.

The city charge is based on evidence
that the druggist sold cocaine without
inclosing it in a scarlet wrapper, while
the state offense consists of the selling
of the drug without a physicians pre-
scription.
In explaining his evidence against DR..
Roper, one of the victims pleaded that
the traffic in cocaine be broken up, in
order that others as well as himself
might be saved.
The police say that the coke habit
has made startling inroads in Atlanta,
not only among negroes but among
young white men. Large numbers of
boys, they say, are fast being ruined
by the drug.
In the hope of remedying this condi-
ton, Police Chief Beavers has insti-
tuted a searching Investigation and
any druggist found selling cocaine in
violation of law will be hailed to police
court and vigorously prosecuted. Judge
Broyles declares he will back the police
in this fight to the limit of his power.
That he means just what he says Is
evidenced by the penalty melted to

GOVERNOR BLEAsE AND LYNCHING.

To our mind the Governor of South Caro-
,,ra did himself an Injustice and his State and
the South generally no particular good when
he arose in the House of Governors Tuesday al
ternoon and openly condoned lynching Wen
might his auditors gasp to hear such sent-
ments Of sympathy with lawlessness boldly
expressed by one of body of executives whose
sworn duty it is to protect the lives and prop
erty of their people and execute the laws of the
land The utterance was unfortunate in ,itseli
and the occasion rendered 1t doubtly so. NOR
do We believe Governor Blease reflects the best
sentiment of the State he governs. We have
r. intimate acquaintance with South Caro-
liYians generally. but those we have met were
faw-abidine citizens and not the blood-thrsty
folks We might assume them to be from the
Covernor's remarks. The utterance was further
unfortunate because undertaking periodicals
a North and West have ever been ready to
held up the South as a section where la~iess-
ness generally is rampant and every man sleeps
IN his arms, and Governor Blease has let down
tle bars FOR these lovers Of the sensational to
step in and hold up the South again to the
scorn OF the nation.
So Wa have no quarrel with Governor Biease=-
~ undoubtedly possesses the courage OF his
convictions; from all accounts he is feariessiy
discharging his duty to his people as he sees
ii, and If 1t is conviction that the law should
be suspended in the case Of one particular
crime and enforced in every other Instance ne
has the right to that opinion and the right to
pursue that course If the people who elected
him are satisfied. But We cannot refrain IRON
expressing the belief that it would have been
in better taste II the Governor had refrained
from expressing himself publicly on this par
tiealar occasion.

THE BIBLE AND THE NEWSPAPERS.

In it's current issue The outlook takes the
wind out of the sails of the newspapers which
played up with sensational headlines the story
concerning the improved edition of the Bible
which alleged that the Baptists had banished
: Jonah's whale from the Bible and put in its
place a great fish" Strengthening the i'm
preston of apparent audacity on the part OF
the Baptists by the further statement that in
their edition OF the Holy Writ that had gone so
far as to modify the Lords Prayer, The Outlook
reproves the reporters and headline producers
fer their unfamliarity with the fact that the
modified form of the Lords Prayer which they
ascribe to the Baptists is the form to be found
in the revised version of 1881, which Is used
In numberless churches every Sunday, and that
tie whale could not be eliminated from the
Book OF Jonah for the simple reason that none
Of the standard versions of the Book OF Jonah
contains any reference to a whale. The great
fish, of Jonah has come to be called whale
simply because in the passage In Matthew
which contains reference to the Jonah story
the common English versions use the word
whale" Even in these the revised version
From mild reproof of the unlettered head

The Outlook points out that this improved

slightest degree calculated to shake the faith
