60 without Eddie Ainsmith or Ray
Morgan. All the others will be in
the party and there is a chance that
Kopp and Barber may be used in the
games against the Red Sox.
"Ainsmith is almost unable to
walk, as result of the collision he
had with George Burns" says Man.
ager Griffith, "and I shall leave him
here to have the club physician fool
with him. AS soon as Eddie is in
shape to get into the game again,
he will join the team, wherever we
may happen to be.
Morgan Is not yet in condition to
play ball, even ii there were a place for
him on the team, and SO he will remain
here to work out at the ball yard. I
have plenty Of men without either Nor
san or Ainsnith and SO we shall not be
weakened for our games with the Red
Sox.''
Ainsmith took terrific blow from
Burns when the Tiger first baseman
bumped into him Tuesday afternoon
and the young catchers left leg Is stitf
from the waist down. He maS be un-
able to play again for at least week.
Morgan is not suffering much now
from his injured knee. but hi. long lay
off has put him out OF condition and he
will have to work hard to get back into
playing shape Being Of no use to the
team, he Is being left at home to prac-

Manager Griffith today denied that

At the same time. oJhnson worked
only six innings against Detroit Tues
day, and he may be ready for his best

Boston. If he feels equal to It. and the

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga, Aug. 49,
Replying to your wire for an opinion
concerning the demonstration of mob
violence, l will say that l attribute it
largely to the growing tendency to
delay by the courts and the altogether
too frequent applications of technical
tiles in trials employed to thwart the
ends of justice even in minor cases,
and in instances where testimony is
most convincing.
Added to this is the widespread pub
iicity given in virtually all crimianal
cases of consequence acquainting the
public with retails of situations with
which they do not have to cope, except
as citizens of the country
In addition to this there seems to be
an inexplicable spirit of restlessness
permeating the very atmosphere itself,
and | believe that the awful conditions
existing in Europe are rejecting di-
rectly and indirectly on this country.
and the entire world, in an undesirable
way.
The situation in Georgia has I'M
doubtedly been infiamed by outside in
reference, augmented by internal
agitation probably instigated original
ly by professional agitators, but in
creased greatly in volume through the
spirit of resentment and independence
which has characterized the South at
all times in history when the populace
considered Themselves maligned or
unjustly criticised.

Telegraph.

MACON, Ga, Aug 1S.-I don't re-
gard the situation in Georgia different
from any other state under the same
circumstances. We are victims of out
side publicity, meddling and abuse,
giving some misguided Georgians a.,
opportunity to defend" the state thus
flaming the fame. They do the same
things in any other state we do in
Georgia. They haven't yet invaded the
penitentiary, so far as we are inform
ed, but they can be made to do it.
The last twelve months have been
dog days throughout the world, and
while Georgia is the scene of action
the other states have furnished the
meddling governors. legislatures, brib-
ers of preachers and scoundre1s who
melted the action.
Georgia is still sane and will be law
abiding if left alone.

FORSYTH, Ca, Aug. 18.-The con-
viction in the minds of a number of
citizens, large or small, that one who
has committed, in their opinion, a
henious crime has or will escape the
punishment of the law is responsible
for the manifestation of what is
termed the mob spirit.
This may be due to the fear of or the
actual delay of the courts, diliatory
and technical tactics of fpracticing law
yers, arbitrary conduct of judges who
vacate verdicts without substantial
cause of the action of the chief execu-
tive in exercising the power of pard-
on1ng or committing after due convvic
ton by jury and affirmed by the ap-
pellate courts as being supported by
the evidence
The manifestation of what is term
ed the mob spirit is due to the imper-
lection of our system of laws and the
natural desire for human vengeance.
1t is common to every civilized people
and will continue to be until civiliza-
tion has reached state of perfection
which will produce system of laws
dispensing exact justice.

ReY. w. n. AinsMorth.

MACON, Ga, Aug. 18.-The spirit of
violence and incendiarism for some
time manifest in Georgia is in my
judgment attributable to two things:
First, the determination of the liquor
element to override the laws of the
state backed by bunch of city poll
ticians who fear the brewers more
than they regard God or the welfare of
society and coupled with the COLLISION
off many officers and several daily pa
pers. These elements must be put
down or they will put Georgia down.

port, addressed the following telegram
to several public men in the state ITO
what do you attribute mob spirit now
so pronounced in Georgia, as shown
by killing Frank, Banker Oliver and
other prominent instances af lawless-
ness within the past few months?"
Interesting are the replies received
from Georgians who names appear
above their statement:
Thos. w. LOyless, Editor Augusta
Chronicle.
NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-There can be
but one answer to this latest assault
on the authority and integrity OF
Georgia.
The decency and civilization of our
state rlust, at last, assert itself, or else
pull up stakes and quit.
1t is straightout issue between law
and anarchy; let Georgians choose for
themselves. :.
This climax was inevitable as long
as we permitted incendiary publica-
tions to set Georgia afiame. Tom Wat
son has cost Georgia more than ten
thousand good and true men can re.
build in twenty years.
But the latter must begin now, with
a courage and determination born
only in crisis, unless they wish to see
the situation grow even worse. 1t is
no longer question of L. M. Frank S
guilt or innocence; or of his life or
death-but solely a question of Geor-
gia's honor and good name.
The war in Europe is horrible en-
ough; but anarchy at home is worse
Those who are disposed to temper
iZe with this situation further will be
as guilty of Georgias disgrace and re-
progression as the mob itself Only
worse than either of these is the man
who has so persistently sown these
sees of hate and violence and an,
archy throughout Georgia. God may
be able to forgive him, but Georgia

his hellish work

Surprising but possibly true is the

man of average intelligence"
The author is writing on New York s

ing from those dens the stalking dang
ers to young people. Rightly does she
feel that the home should be an anti
dote for outside temptations.
The home is not intended to be a
glittering, glammering, bewitching
Great White Way. 1t cannot rival the
splendor of the sparkling lights that
twinkle from dusk to dawn. And it
should not.
Home is a haven and rightly should
it be. 1t is shelter, kind of moral
incubator

for the trials and dangers of life.
There are either fewer good homes or
there are not many homes of The right
sort.
When maturity is reached and the
bans of home support are thrown
aside, the training of the youth should
be able to receive with a righteous
knowledge, the warning: Nov, have
had you ever since you were bora.
When l have gotten through with you,
you can go anywhere with safety. My

am not acquainted with the facts in
reference to the Oliver case or other
instances to which you refer.
Regarding the Frank case, it is my
opinion that vast majority of the
people of Georgia were profoundly
convinced of Franks guilt. They be-
lieved that the verdict of the jury,
which had been sustain ed by every ap-
pellate court, should stand and Frank
should be hanged. They regarded
Governor Slaton, because of his con-
nection with the law firm that defend
ed Frank, as morally if not legally dis
qualified to pass on the case, and for
that reason did not generally accept
MS decision as impartial and unbias-
ed.

was the protection of Georgia's wo-
manhood at stake, but also the en-
