On many farms there are enough
horses so that separate barn for
them is needed. If a farmer has a
dozen or so horses that are being used
have a separate barn, as horses and
cattle do not get along very well. In
combination barns it is necessary to
build solid partition between the
two parts of the stable, and it is often
a better plan to have two barns.
Concrete is used for the foundation
and floors of the barn shown here.
The foundation walls are extended up
to the floor of the haymow, which as
sists materially in keeping the barn
warm during the cold weather and
cool in hot weather. 1t also makes
1t possible to keep the barn clean with
the minimum of labor and trouble.
The floor of the stable is made of con-

is often laid over it.

Mob Violence i'm the Southern
States, Georgia Especially.
What Causes Lynchings?
IN Capper's Weekly is this item:


In the latter state perpetrated one-fourth
of the lynching occurring since last January in
the United States.
Burning at the stake and other atrocities and
laWless methods of punishment are usually justi-
fled by the perpetrators due retribution for the
usual crime, but Of the "a persons ynched up
to July 1, last year in the United States only
were negroes accused Of that offence.
The real usual crime in the Southern states is
mob violence.
"The real usual crime!"
Is it peculiar to the Southern States?
In President Wilson's own State of New
Jersey, the Roman Catholic mobs-incited by
priest 4th degree Knights of Foreign Foot
kissery, and Ancient Order of Hibernians-
attack Protestant preachers and lecturers, who
go into that Rome-ridden State to talk in
favor of the principles upon which this Gov
eminent was founded.
In Patterson, in Newark, in Jersey City,
those priest-fired mobs have stamped out
freedom of speech to the extent that no man
can go there and repeat the anti-popish SER
mons of John Calvin, Martin Luther, John
Knox, John Wycliffe, John Huss, William
Tyndale, John Wesley, Rev. Theodore
Dwight, Bishop Hopkins, and Rev. Edward
Beecher, brother to Henry Ward and Harriet
Beecher.
Bishop Hopkins of Vermont, could, and
did, preach against Romanism before the
Civil War: he could not do it now.
Edward Beecher could, and did denounce
Romanism, in New York, Jersey, and Penn
sylvania, before the Civil War: he could not
do it now.
The priests would stir up the Fourth degree
Knights of Foreign Footl1issery, and these
moral traitors would stir up the mob, and the
police; and when the Rev. Beecher arrived at
the hall he had hired, he would find the doors
locked, the lights out, and gang of Romanist
hoodlums on hand to start row and give the
priest-ridden police an excuse for breaking up
the meeting.
In Massachusetts, the rule of the Romanist
mob is so scornful of Protestant law, that
Cardinal Bill O'Connell's mob defied the
police, stoned the troops, smashed the City
hall windows, riOted through the streets, and
beat up Protestants, wherever found-aohy?
Because q lecturer had come to Haverhill,
hired hall, and invited people to come and

THE JEFFERSONIAN

The law forbidding the use of State money
in schools where religion is taught.
Has anybody been punished for the crimes
of Cardinal Bills mob?
No! Why not?
The authorities are afraid of that murder
Gus gang.
In Pennsylvania, it is the same: in Illinois,
the same: in New York, the same.
What's the difference between Roman
Catholic mob violence, at the North, and
Protestant mob violence at the South?
1t is this: in the North, the priests are rails
ing mobs to annul the Protestant principle of
free speech, whereas, the South arouses itself
to punish crime, because the pardon poacer
has been prostituted By maoneyed Influence
and political pull
One people have been driven to taking the
law into their own hands, for the simple rea-
son that the law has been flouted by those
high in office.
In April, 1907, a Swede named Oscar
Ahlgren, 40 years old, came to Atlanta; and
he walked into the open doors of several
dwelling houses, looked around, and walked
out again.
He did not break lock or turn key: he
did not damage anything or insult anybody

treatment in some hospital.
1t e0as not q crime of 01oy sort.
It was not criminal TreSpasS, because he did
no damage.
1t was not burglary, because there was no
breaking.
1t was not larceny from the house, because
he stole nothing
In a city court, some elastic ordinance, made
of legal India-rubber, might have got the
Swede for disorderly conduct, and sent him
to the stockade for 80 days.
But what really happened?
The grand jury found three indictments
against that silent, harmless, witless in
truder; and his attorney got cold creeps IN his
back, and advised his moneyless client to
plead guilty to one.
The law did the rest: 1t sent the SaCede to

There was Cobb County boy named j. f.
Leming who, last year, snatched purse from
a lady, as he passed her on the road.
Judge Ben Hill sentenced him to Is years

The law gave Judge Hill permission to do
this, but it also gave him permission to let the
lad off at four years

mum, by only years.
Technically, the boy robbed the woman of
her purse: really, it was a piece of sneak
thievery, for which - months at the Mil
ledgeville State Reformatory would have
been ample punishment.
IF either the Prison Commission or the
Governor have been interested in Lemming,
the public has not been informed.
It is unnecessary to recount the prostltu-
tons of the pardon power which have occur
red during administrations preceding that OF
Governor Nat Harris; but let us consider some
of the misuse he has already made of that
prerogatlve.
There was a negro man In South Georgia,
who was so full of the premeditated malice
of murder, that he broke down a door between
himself and the woman he meant to kill; and,
although the woman was standing, terrified
and helpless, with her baby in her arms, this
black demon murdered her.
Do you see any ground here for clemency?
Governor Harris did, and he saved the
demons neck by commutation-which, in a
few years, will roll along the smooth groove
to pardon.
Two or three years ago, a gentleman living
in the GAINESVILLE territory wrote me letter
about the Perdue case.
Perdue hadn't done anything, except MUIR
der the town marshal
He was convicted of manslaughter, and
sentenced to Is years in the penitentiary.
His lawyers tried their hands at moving for
new trial, and got 1t.
Next time, Perdue was convicted of murder,
with recommendation which sent him up
for life.
Now comes the queer story:
The letter stated that one of Perdues law
yers owed the Governor $780,, which he had
not been able to pay, and that this lawyer
promised the Governor faithfully to pay the
debt, at once, If he e0ouzd put Perdue's SEN
te1ace 60ch to 10 gears.
The sentence was put back to Is years.
And now comes Governor Harris, and let's
Perdue out on a virtual pardon, after the
convicted murderer, has served sin gears.
So, you see under our Georgia law, as ad-
moimistered by those IN high. office, harmless
