A Lesson For Lynchers And
An Object Lesson For
Sworn Officials.
The following, taken from the
Wesleyan Christian Advocate, is
good enough to keep going. We
gladly copy it, and wish eveiy
weekly newspaper in the state
would follow suit:
Some time ago a negro in South
Carolina, Will Fair, by name, was
placed in jail charged with the
nameless crime upon a white wo
man. A mob assaulted the jail and
even resorted to dynamite to gel
their murderous hands on the
poor negro. Sheriff M lute, ot
Spartanburg, brave officer that he
is, put his own life in peril, but
saved the negro. The other day
Will Fair was tried by a jury ol
white meu and was acquitcd. The
Columbia State says there was not
a doubt of his innocence, the evi
dence of his quiltlessness being
substantive. There was not a par
tide of proof of his guilt. The
men disposed to mob law should
ponder this case. It shows that
the law can l>e relied on for the
protection ol the people and that
even a poor feiendless negro can
have a fair trial by white men of
the South. Some of our Northern
li iend might also study this ease to
lheir profit. This case also shows
that a brave officer of the law can
be relied on for the protection of
prisoners put into his keeping.
This courageous conduct of the
sheriff shows that a uumder of men
have Ims‘n saved the awful deed ol
killing an iuncent man, and it has
given to all men who think ahigh
*(•! appreciation of the sufficiency of
the law to protect the interests ol l
all the people.

Her Wonder.
A woman never ceaßes to wondar
what her husband did with the sli he
had last week. —Philadelphia Ledger
Homer, Elanks County, Georgia, Thursday, October 16, 1913.
Mrs- Speer an Invcnter
Atlanta. till. October liith—
Mis. A.,1. Speir, formerly Fannie
Hoyt of Cornelia. tJeorgia, first
cousin to Mi's. Woodrow Wilson,
and the only woman in the family
who rivalled Mrs. \\ ilson in
kitchen lore in their girlhood days,
has blossomed forth as an in
venter.
Like tlu* president’s wife, Mrs.
Spier was the daughter of a well
known l’resbytei ian preacher, and
the two families w ere intimate. Mrs.
Spier, then Miss Hoyt, was the
champion cake baker of the lamily
in fact a veritable Queen of Cake
bakers if the memory of Georgians
of the past general ion is to be t rust
ed. Whenever there was a wed
ding in the family, Fannie Hoyt
was the one who made the wedding
cuke.
These facts are not irrelevant.
They have a direct bearing on the
invention. Fannie Hoyt’s pictty
hands and slender wrists used to
get mighty tired beating eggs for
those cakes’ and so Mrs. Speir has
invited some sort of a wonderful
egg beater that will lK*at up the
whites and tlu* yellows at the same
time separately. She has had it
patented at Washington and ex
peels that it w ill bring her fame.

No one was seriously hurt except
Crawford who has about seventy
shots in his back. The desperate
negro is still at large. This negro
