Covington, Ga. Aug. 17, 1897.
A WORD FOR LAWYERS.
Some of the newspapers, in dis¬
cussing the lynching question, at¬
tribute the cause mainly to the
lawyers.
But that is all wrong.
The lawyers are not to blame
for the acts of a mob.
The bar is one of the most im¬
portant institutions in our political
system.
There is no class that is more
honorable or of higher integrity
than the lawyers.
It is true, there are a few “shys¬
ters” in the profession; but that is
true of all the professions or m
stitutions in the country.
The bar of Georgia is only sec¬
ond to the judicial bench, which is
presumed to be absolutely the
purest and cleanest of all the sec¬
ular institutions of the country.
It is wrong, therefore, to
..n, couiis, me lawyers, uiamafile
— f
responsible for the lynchings in
Georgia.
It is the condition, and not a
theory, that makes lynchings pos¬
sible.
It is the brutality of the crimes
that is responsible for Judge
Lynch’s action.
Lawyers who defend criminals,
and virtually have their
placed in their hands, assume a
fearful responsibility when they
do so, and it would not only be in¬
human and cowardly, but would
be an absolute disgrace upon their
honorable profession, if they failed
to discharge their sacred and
solemn duty in defense of their
clients.
Our fundamental law guarantees
to every man, who is arraigned be¬
fore the courts, a fair and impar¬
tial trial.
Who would have it otherwise?
No honorable lawyer can fail to
discharge his full duty to his cli¬
ent, no matter what his crime may
be, when he is placed on trial for
his life.
The state itself expects defend¬
ant’s counsel to discharge their full
duty in his behalf, and no good
citizen would have it otherwise.
The “shyster” is not a factor in
this view of the ease ; while the
« t lawyer" is not responsible for
the lynching in Georgia.
The criminal alone is responsi
ble.
Supreme Court Adjourned
The supreme court cleared its
docket on Tuesday, and adjourned
until first of October.
A large number of cases have
been heard, but the decisions have
not all been handed down.
It is a rare thing for the supreme
court docket to be cleared, but the
additional judges have probably
facilitated the hearing of cases, and
thus enabled the court to clear its
docket.
W e repeat that pistols should be
taxed $i,ooo a year. 1 hat would
drive , . them , out of
use, which is
what ought to be done. No man
needs a pistol in this civilized and
enlightened country.

The Expert Witness ; Or,
The Trial of Jack the Ripper.
•T introduce neither quack nor fool,
But a master of esculapian school;
A man who sailed o’er many seas,
In perfecting art of Hippocrates.
A man, by whom, the brain and nerves,
Are classed as nature’s grand reserves:
By him I’ll prove the truth,” said lawyer,
“That my client’s afflicted with paranoia.’
The Dock, under “medical ethics trained,
Of “ acute cephalalgia” first complained;
Said, “of Ripper Jack, he had made
sis,
And found a biological metamorphosis.
Found cranium coated with pityriasis.
Cerebrum weak—naught of apotheosis;
Found perversion of the hypochondriac,
And physiological ganglia of paranoiac.”
“Found deterioration of cerebellum.
And auricular tissue of tympanum;
Found ossification of aorta.
Translucent necrosis of vertebra ;
Opthalmoscope shows amaurosis,
Iritis, glancoma, and trichiasis;
Parotitis makes manifest that Jack,
Is not culpable—because a paranoiac.
“Found nasal polypus and oiaena,
Pneumogastric filled with ganglia;
Arterial system found anaemic,
By reversion of the stream lymphatic.
Appendix removed for appendicitis,
Sub-maxillary weakened by bronchitis;
Irksome diagnosis found Ripper Jack,
Not true self, but pitiable paranoiac.”
The jury shouted, “Jerusalem ! B’eosh 1
A pumpkin big on a vine of squash!”
»t We thought,” said they, "we were
Jack, Dock, is Pary
But his name, says
They were puzzled sore, but did not fuss,
And finally settled the mailer thus:
«« A verdict of guilty for Ripper Jack,
And no mercy asked for Pary Noyack."

Sheriff Can Sell Whisky.
The supreme court has
the case of Sheriff Fears, of
gan county, vs. the state, in
of the sheriff.
The case was this:
About the time that
county adopted prohibition, a
er in Madison gave a mortgage
a quantity of whisky to secure
debt. The mortgage was
ed, and the sheriff proceeded
sell the goods under the
ure.
n'L- / J-. viJC

nonisrs sought to restrain
iff from selling the liquors by
junction.
The court granted the
tion, and stopped the sheriff
selling.
The case was carried to the
preme court, which reversed
decision of the lower court,
ved the injunction, and held
the sheriff could legally
with the sale, provided it was
shown that there was collusion
tween him and the liquor de^l er
.VV.IU1UH is a very
tant one, as it holds that a
can sell liquors, when seized
der any sort of process, even
dry counties.
Y e hardly think, however,
will have any serious effect
the temperance cause in
county—or any other county,
that matter—in Georgia.

Mr. Davie Bailey had the mis¬

one wheel of his buggy nearly

Mr. J. W. Ellis is going ahead

Col. F. M. Holder is in feeble

The readers of (his paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutioual treatment. Hall’s Catarri
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destioying the foun¬
dation of disease, and giving the patien
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers, that they offer Om
Hundred Dollars for any case that i;
fails to cure. Send for list of testimo¬
nials.
