The Cordele Daily News’ police matinee column bids fair to rival shat of the Atlanta Constitution in time to come. I' A society paper printed a por trait of a society woman catdto have -300 dresses, and after a look nt it a .country .editor says he can’t under stand why she did nut put one «sn when die cat for tin: picture. In the July number of Southern Sentiment, a bright and courageous magazine published at Carrollton, this state, we find a strong editorial protest ngainst lynch law, says the Atlanta Constitution. It happens that Carrollton has been the scene of a lynching in which the sheriff bloodily resisted the mob and has paid the penalty by being defeated for re-election. Apart from the local significance of the protest it has value as another of many signs that the people at large are growing out of the lynch law period. The more conservative men of the country are urging the sufficiency.of the legal machinery to make sure the punishment ot the guilty apd are discouraging the idea that society can only be pro tected adequately by permitting popular passion in given cases to glut itself with blood and fire. There are places and occasions when the natural fury of men can not be restrained by all the laws in Christendom. , We have had in* stances in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois and Kansas quite as resistless and savage as any that have happened in Georgia, Texas or Mississippi. The human nature that forsakes reasons and usurps authority in one section is the same tbit does likewise in another section, or in Paris, or in the Philippines. Incidents must stand for judgment upon their own peculiar facts and in their own environment. It is a hopeful sign that the courts are inspiring a higher confi- dence in their ability to handle crimes of lynch-provokingcharacter by taking them up and disposing of them with becoming promptness. Far instance, in our'own city, within six weeks of the caitnes two men have been tried, one sentenced to be hung and the other to be imprisoned for life. Lynchings will continue, doubt* leu, in ultra flagrant .cases, for generations to come, but there is I surely arising a temper among the! people to only suffer such summary proceedings in case of exceptional horror and when the popular concensus is strong and deadly as Niugar.'i’sflood. AN UNSIGNED ARTICLE. The News is in receipt of a lettei from Cordele signed “Bluebird,” in which the writer proceeds to get vengeance from a citizen hereby saying a ' few uncomplimentary things about him. We do not publish such articles, and especially when the nAme of the writer is omitted. Were we to publish this letter without having the name of the writer “Bluebird,” as he styles himself, might take flight just at the time we would be needing his services, and if he wants to seek vengeance from his enemy he will have to go to him like a man # face to face. .•The mails ore not a safe and prudent source of transmitting such messages, neither is a newspaper the place in which to air your grievances against un enemy. It would be well for this “Bluebird” to take a little caution along this line before it is too la'.e. It is evident that the people of Georgia are not satisfied with the public school system of the state. It might be well for our lawmakers to bear in mind that there is'n strong public demand for uniform text books, says the Fort Valley Enter prise. A man went with hts wifeto visit her phystsian.
