they will introduce early in the ses-
sion.
Among them is a bill to be intro
duced by Representative H. J. Full
bright. Of Burke county, who would
make the sheriffs directly responsi-
BILE for lynchings and who would i'm
pose upon them the penalty of re-
moval from the office for letting
Iynchings occur.
The bill provides that where a
prisoner is taken from q sheriff or
his deputy or deputies and lynched
by mob. the sheriff shall automat-
icaily vacate his once.
Should the fugitive be taken bv 9
mob and iynched before a warrant
has been served upon him. the Gov
nernor is authorized to dismiss the
sheriff, If it is shown that the sher-
III gave the mob any hint OF the fug-
itive's whereabouts.

cred to remove the sheriff in the
