MOB LAW.
It is high time that a form of law
lessness known as lynch law’ or mob
law should be cheeke 1. It is becom¬
ing entirety too common, for it i->
dangerous.
A mob is a collection of men of
various classes who are placed on an
equal footing through a frenzy of ex¬
citement. And that footing is a state
of recklessness Ilia*, i. closely itkin
temporary insanity. Can such a
of humanity reason correctly or
rationally? Certainly not; then
mobs arc dangerous, an 1 should be
suppressed.
Ifamobwm competent to judge
a man accused of some crime, even
t hen it should not have the power to
punish him, foi our laws plainly
specify that only after a certain form
has been observed shall one who
been properly qualified execute Ins
fellow man.
But a crowd of excited men may
be in error about the guilt of a pris-
oner. Six or seven years ago in M i
con a mob, excited by tlie false sto^
ryof a base woman, took a policeman
and killed him. It was ascertained
soon afterwards that the accused was
innocent. Many other similar instan¬
ces might be given. Human life is
too valuable, too sacred to be at the
mercy of a lit of infuriated animals
in human shape.
It is argued by some that tlie most
effectual method of checking the
perpetration of heinous offenses is
lynching. Facts contradict this Some
say that lynching is allowable on ac¬
count of the law. If this be true the
laws should be amended.
As long as lynching are winked at
by those who are sworn to faithfully
administer the laws, just so long will
mob law exist. We need more men
like the sheriff who fired into the mob
in Birmingham several years ago'and
killed some of the men who were ro-
garded as leading citizens.
In this free country the people rule
and if tlie laws are not as they should
bo, or not properly executed, the peo¬
ple can correct these defects or evils;
and you and I and our neighbors
help to constitute the people.
Steve Ryan Las assumed the
management of the store of The liy-
an Company. In Sunday's Constitu¬
tion this firm has a big advertise¬
ment with a large cut of Steve in the
center. In this the festive Stephen
announces that, though ho has been
in jail for fourteen months, he is now
in the ring, and that.the world is his.
For cheek Steve is unsurpassed. But
he may be crowing too early. The
clutches of the law may again tighten
around him.
Congressman Blount, of Geor¬
gia, received an ovation at the hands
of his colleagues the other day of
which any man might be proud. Both
Democrats and Republicans compli¬
mented him in high terms for his
faithful and efficient service in con¬
gress. Mr. Blount lias been a membe r
from Georgia tor twenty years, and
he has been one of the most, useful
men there.
Some of tlie dailies have been
much exercised of late by the repoit
that hoops wo ild soon be stylish for
ladies. It now appears that their
fears were groundless.The word ‘crin¬
oline” was misunderstood by them
to mean hoop skirts, when it merely
signified a certain kind of cloth. Let
us hope that hoopis will never return.
T^e power to select text books for
use in the public schools should not
be vested in county boards of educa¬
tion, unless more competent men
compose these boards. It would be
better still to have the same series
of books used in all the schools of the
state.
A great deal cf gratuitous a h i -e
is being offered the farmer as to what
he should plant and what he should i
not do. We are more competent to
a Rise the agriculturist than many
of our brethren of the press, having
once hoed corn for a day, bat really
we are too busy just now.
Macon people are jubilant at the
prospect of having soon a line of

DUTY.
The best citizen of a town is the
most useful one ; and to be cf real
service to his fellow-man one must,
do some good. There are various
ways bv which this may be accom¬
plished : sometimes it is advisable to
try one method, sometimes another.
In the labors of most men who
work for the welfare o" the pub'ic ii
becomes necessary for them to *or-
deron what they believe to he evil,
just as a parent has to r«q rove
his child for so mo wrron i-doing of the
i latter. Thu parent would he fa'se
j to his du‘y should he act other wise.
i A preacher, whose occupation is of
the in >st exalted character, however
unpleasant it may be to him to do so,
must dt nounce sinfulness in members
j of his own congregation when be
' knows it exists there. It is his duty
I to do this.
It is an editor’s duty to condemn
i wrong and endeavor to correct abuse
of power of public men, or a failure
on their part to do what they swore
perform. He sU.ml.1 try to in.
,. e the |))nce „hiel, lie lives—lor
there is room for improvement in ev-
, ery village, town or city—ami one of
| the mcans lje hns t0 employ ;s criti-
eism. F e should never criticise, kow-
eV er, Hiroughenvy or prejudice,
The editor ol this paper v ill never
pre8unie Jo dictate to the people of
q’occoa, but if he hears complaint ol
un i llw ful practices in the town or in
other |mrtion , 0 f tlie county and is
conv j nne d that such evils do exist, it
may be expected that he will speak of
these things in unmistakable lan¬
guage. Should this give offense to
some lie will continue Ins efforts to
ereale a strong public sentiment
against such tilings, anyway. And
in this he will be actuated by no oth
cr motive than a desire to do good.

Bear in mind that the election to
decide as to whether or not bonds
shall be issued for the erection of a
