Judge Lovett, of Efing-

Lawlessness

SPRINGFIELD, Ga, Oct. 10
Judge A. B. Lovett, of the Superior
court of Effingham county, yester-
day delivered charge to the grand
jury that virtually instructed that
body to see that someone is indicr-
ed and punished for the lynching of
Phillip Gathers, a negro, several
months ago. Gathers was lynched
in broad daylight for the murder of
ANA Jaudon, a young girl.
Touching upon this crime and the
need for the punishment of those
who committed it, Judge Lovett said,
in concluding his charge:
Officers of the law, representing
the sovereignty of the state, flee
from the mob. What pitiable spec
tacle! The state, created by the
people, in fight. pursued by its own
creators Lawlessness reigns su-
preme. The security of the law be-
comes a by-word to be scoffed at,
constitutional guarantees are by force
made vain and empty things. To
Justify such conduct some will say
that the laws technical and too slow ;
that justice may miscarry, and pun
ishment be not measurably imposed.
Our civil laws are administered by
our own people and we but indict
ourselves. What assurance have any
of you that with public passion suf-
ficiently inflamed you may not be
made victim, and your life the for
felt, though you be stainless OF
crime?

MAKING HOME BAKING EASY

From all parts of the country come
reports of a great increase in home
baking. In fact, it has again become
the fashion, as it was in grandmoth-
ers' day, for women to take PRIDE
in telling about the good things. they
bake at home.
To encourage this great econo-
my, and to make it easy for the be-
ginner, as well as to give the ex-
perienced home bakers the benefit
of the most modern discoveries, the
ROYAL Baking Powder company has
published a most unique book which,
in itself, is almost a course in the
art of cookery.
Turning the pages there is includ-
ed a wealth of information most UNI
usual in baking and cookery. Old
and famous recipes have been i'm
proved and simplified, and on near
ly every page there is something
entirely new to serve as a surprise.
Economy and ease of preparation are
the keynotes of the book.
Indeed, there is so much of value
in this contribution to good living
that one wonders how it was all
worked out We find in the intro
duction that it is the result of three
years of constant research and ex-
perimenting by the Royal education
al department which is conducted for
the benefit of all housewives inter
ested in the health, economy and
betterment of the home table.

WOMAN'S MISSIONARY
SOCIETY MEETS

The Woman's Missionary society
of First Methodist church met Mon
day afternoon in the church with a
full membership present. The devo-
tional exercises were held, after
which musical program was given
OF the selections usually sung in the
society.
Miss Rebecca Cowles, one of the
best loved women in Americas, one
who has for so many years been as
ISOLATED with the city's best inter
ests, was present, and during the
exercises of the afternoon asked if
she might be permitted to make a
few remarks. She spoke of her ran
idly failing eyesight and hearing
which rendered her almost recluse,
for which reason she could not min
gle with her friends as much as If
yore. She expressed her thankful
ness that her health remains splen-
did, and she enjoys the sunshine
and outdoor freshness. At the con-
clusion of her talk she read a poem
which went straight to the hearts of
her hearers. 1t read:
II may not know, what ioy or woe.
The future may hold for me;
But from doubts and fears, in the
coming years,
III trust Him to keep me free.
81 may not see how He guideth me,
When obstacles block the way;
But when eyes grow dim, if trust
Him,
He'll lead me to perfect day."
