H Let him go to the game. There is a scandal threatening in California, aad it has nothing to do with the alien act. Mary Garden has taken off her Jewels. In other words, 6he is in seclusion now for a spell. Many of those who are starting out on vacations will return, wish ing they had not been so hasty. Up in Pennsylvania the feature of the year was a banquet which the town undertakers gave to the doc tors. That was an awful and revolting tragedy in Sumter, when an Aneri- cus mob hanged and then burned the body of a negro.

THE AMERICTS AFFAIR. The whole of Georgia shudders at ^he brutality displayed in Americus Saturday nigfht, when a negr 0 was string to a telephone pole in the glare of the electric lights of the city and his body literally riddled to pieces with shots from many re volvers. The negro had co nmitted a crime when he shot the chief ofjtli police of Americus. He did the act j o’clocfc while the chief was attempting to arrest the negro and it was without excuse. He was taken to jail and locked within the iron barred doors of the county prison. The mob broke down the doors, hauled the negro forth and after hanging and shooting him. cut down the body and set it afire on the pavements of that fair South Georgia city. The men who perpetrated this thing were without masks. They made no attempt to hide their iden tity. It was done in the full glare of the electric lights, but around those citizens of that town there flared the more lurid glow of inflam ed passion which caused one of the moot horrible affairs In the history of that community. The city of 'Americus is. however, not unlike any other community, no matter whether it be North or South. The passions of an inflamed mob are no more the normal condi tion of a community than the raving of a lunatic are the semblance of the acts of the same party during sanity. It is a condition which 6honld be guarded against at all times in all communities, and the carrying of pistols In the pockets of, both white and colored people is the prime agency ef its inception in nine out of ten cases. Stop this habit j and the cause for the mob spirit ; will have been abated to a marked degree. We sympathize with Americus in its awakening to the extent of the STOUT LORE JOURNEY President Wilson Stood on the Steps of tho White House This Morn ing and (hive Message to First Relay Boy.
