Floyd Hughes. local counsel for the
libelants, refused to discuss the case
today, saying that all information con-
cerning the case should come from Mr..
Coudert in New York. who is leading
counsel for the owners of the Appam.
1t is understood here, however, that
the libelants base their case upon the
provisions of the Prussian-American
treaty, under which the German gov
ernment claims that, in order to claim
the benefit of the neutral port. the
prize must have been conveyed in by
q warship This was not done in the
case of the Appam.

With Iatter's Orders.

NORFOLK, Va, February 19.-Fed-
eral Judge Waddill issued the usual
libel process today, and the Appam was
seized by a deputy United States mar
shall. who went to Newport News on
tug for the purpose. Two guards from
the Office of the United States district
court were left in charge of the APP
pam.
Deputy West. accompanied only by
Attorney Bul1owa, of counsel for the
company; A. G. Bailey of the office of
Castner. Curran & Bullitt. agents for
the owners, and two watchmen, left
Norfolk this morning on the tug Mas
cot about 9 o'clock The party reached
the side of the Appam about 1870
o'clock. The ladder was up. Deputy
West went out on deck while the rest
of the party remained in the pilot
house, and directed that the ladder be
lowered. as he wished to come aboard.
He did not state his business. The
ladder was lowered according to his

and directed that he be taken to the
captain. When the United States officer
was conducted to Lieut.. Bergs quar-
ters the latter at once objected to the
proceedings.
Had I known you were the United
States marshal he said, II would not
have allowed you aboard"
Deputy West paid no attention to
Lieut. Berg's objections, and proceeded
about the usual process of serving a
libel.
Lieut.. Berg objected at every step.
The personal process was served, and
the deputy then started to tack the
usual notice on the mast of the ves-
sci. The German commander objected
strenuously. THE ship is in charge of
Collector Hamilton he said. "and you
have no right here"
Lieut.. Berg then left the Appam hur-
riedly and went to Newport News to
telephone. Whether he telephoned to
Collector Hamilton or the German en-
bassy, or to whom, Is not known; but

adequate conception of how much they
have been injured by it, l was in
Shanghai, China, when the riot in At
lanta prevailed in the fall of 1906. The
papers there were full of it, and | was
forced to hear things said of our peo-
pie which were extremely humiliating.
There is no saying what that riot cost
Georgia in mere dollars and cents. not
to speak of higher things; and these
lynchings are even more injurious to
US, if possible.
Various causes have been assigned
for such dreadful and indefensible out
breaks. Both executive and judicial Of
ficers have been blamed for them Leg
lsiative bodies have been called upon
to adopt more drastic measures to sup
press mob law. Perhaps there is a
measure of truth in all the views which
have been expressed; but at bottom the
remedy is to be found in arousing an
overwhelming public opinion against
these evils.
In a measure we all are TO blame for
them. With reference to the conditions
which prevailed in England during his
life Maurice said, II wish to confess
the sins of the times as my own,' and
this was a sincere and noble confession.
So may we all say concerning the evils
of mob law. 1t is doubtless true that
a large majority of the southern people
abhor lynching, certainly the people of
Georgia do not approve of these vio-
lent and revolving Outbursts. But we
have not been sufficiently outspoken
against them, and we have allowed q
minority. including a few degenerate ag-
itators and demoralizing demagosues,
to disgrace and damage all our peo-
pie The words and deeds of these men
have done our section and State meal
cUlable mischief. No man can say what
they have cost us in the matter of ma
terial prosperity alone, and they have
done us still greater harm In the more
precious things of public morality.
The Time has come for the good peo-
pie of the south, and especially of Geor-
. gia, to make the forces of evil quail
and cover beneath the blazing condem-
nation of outraged righteousness.
Lynchings cannot be endured longer,
and it behooves all good people to unite
for the overthrow and utter suppression
of mob violence. No apology for it is
worthy of public approval Mob law
never remedied any evil. and never can.
When a human being is lynched, law
is lynched. and that means the destruc-
ton of society. The victim of mob
may be ever so criminal, and may well
deserve the worst fate; but when the
mob sets aside law they have victimized
the whole community much more than
they have the particular individual
whose life they have taken. The south
and Georgia have been thus victimized
long enough.

front yard on Main Street one evening
recently. The scene was two young
ladies OF this place enjoying social
chat with some young members OF
military company, who were camping At
the lake for the week end. A sham
battle was taking place south Of the
village at the time and it is to be pre-
sumed that the aforesaid young patriots
were doing duty Oh the skirmish line
and had made capture. AT any rate
their victory was complete. Picket
duty is very important item In war

Mrs. Della Hopkins presided. 1t was
voted that the price of dinner tickets
should be 6oc, the same as last year, al
though the high cost of supplies this
year would seem to warrant a higher
price. The caterer will be the veteran

good shore dinner. 1t was also voted
to have the poem written for the re-
cent anniversary of the society by Mrs,

vided and everything done by the sew
