It Is dlfflcnlt to write culmty of events no weighed with tragedy and passion as else recent mob role in Bulloch conn ty. Long range judgement may bo faulty. Bad we been there we might feet differently. Bnt we cannot con. ceivd of any excuse or palliation for the earning of th Aw* negroes. The whole ohsln of olroumstsuces is terrible, and without a redeeming fea ture. Oar vaunted protection or tho a v was violated by the organisation of a negro Mafia which assaulted, fobbed and burned a peaceful cltixen and his . innocent women folks. At slits present etsto of civilisation such deeds should .anna could be rouderad impossible by rn- ral constabulary or other means. The blaok fiends who did the deed, wore ar rested, tried, convicted and sentenced, ata special term of coart. 'The law’s” delay,,that hard worked excuse for lynch role caunot be pleaded In pallia tion for tlda deed. The thirst for ven- ■ ganoe even, cannot be urged In exouse, the vengeuce was sure. It was not hot blooded Impetuosity that caused the lynching, but cold blooded deviltry. ' It was not deliberation, Inasmuch aa the deed destroyed the only^two witnesses who would convict others by their testi mony. It was simply a lint for blood and murder that would brook no denial. It is not a pleasant thought to admit the I it. possibility tliat a thousand men, of tlie Anglo-saxon race conld let their liquor- lashed passiou deafen them to every ( thing but the barbaric yawp of "Kill kill, kill." Now the aftermath is seen in bodies of armed men scodritig the country and shooting down the blanks, dome proba bly do, bnt others certainly do not de serve to bo hurried to the hissing hell, yawning wide for the first two fiends. The military department of the stale, so bouud up in reels of tiresome tape, that a sufficient force could not be sent to the scene, presents a sorry spectacle. And still worse Is the sight of the in competent kids seut to handle a life and A WISE VIEW. A recent editorial in the New York American takes a wise and calm view of tlie Statesboro fio-Tor. The know-it alls of the northern ^press have seized upon the outrage as a text' for most bitter denunciation, much of this de- served. Oars is (lie blame and oars mast be the sluiuie, bat to be condemned from A to Z by self appointed judges who knownothing of the matter is going tn far. Tlie American says: Tlie problem of the South is a vory great one, and the Northern attitude should be one ot suspended judgment andsympathetic co-oporation. Thera is no power that will hold hack oertaln provocation, and harsh criticism will hold it back least of all. How did our Revolutionary ancestors, Whom we Cali heroes, treat tho Indians whoso savagery filled them with auxiety? They hunted and mu:dered them like wolves or weasels. And have you for gotten thb mobs of our noblo early timer, capable of enjoying tlie punishment of Witches, or driving defenseless women naked throngli the atreetaof New En gland towns? • Let ns remember our own crimes, our draft riots, onr race outrages, based da nothing at all, rather than nkplolt our superior virtues in the face of the Sooth orner’s stupendous difficulties The Cairo Column.

Daring the last flvo years the progress of tliu town and comity bus been remarkable. There has beeu jio wind, no boom, but a steady advance, most gratifying to tlie citizens. Tdday business is better than it was tills time last year, and. hut year it was better than the year before. Some ascribe one reason and some another for this progress. We are Hot going to enter iuto tho why or where fore, but simply to state the fact If busy stores, comfortable homes, well filled business houses, new and growing industries, and a happy population mean prosperity then Thomasrilte has £#7 death matter, with unloaded gnns, and a captain who lays down at the first shake of ills opponent's fist ana does not get np again. And worst of all will be the odium oast npon Georgia's name throughout the country and the cry that will go up tnat the south is unable to handle its own nepro problem. Some of the people will view the series of events with indifference—even complacence. Tlie only hope Is that the better public sentiment may be aroused to action and a repetition of such lurrore rendered impoestble.

The recent legislature passed a bill iairing the salary of Supe rior court judges $1000 a year, aud pro hibiting them from using railroad pass es, telephone franks and like favors. There was considerable discussion as to whether tho pass clause applied to those jndgeswho would not receive an iu- creased salary for several years, until thediiteof increase.

The Scheme Senator Lsasr Worked to Prevent an Bneennter. During the course of a heated debate ince in the* bouse of representatives ijiorp words were exchanged between a congressman from New York and one from Mississippi. A challenge was de livered and accepted, and as both were courageous aud determined a bloody meeting seemed imminent Friends In terposed, but in vain. Both men were resolute, and neither would yield to the suggestion of an amicable arrange ment. 'As a last resort Senator Lamar was called in to save the situation. Ha realized that no ordinary methods would serve his purpose, and so re sorted to strategy. The principals In the proposed duel are still living; so I will call the New' Yorker Jones and the Misslssippian Smith. Senator Lamar called on' the New Yorker, and after the usual civilities bad been exchanged he salU: ‘Jones, I've come here to do yon n friendly turn. I know that you and Smith arc determined to fight and that nothing will stop you. I have not come ns a mediator, 1 but simply to mitigate, if possible, the horrors of a fatal end, lto far as yon are concerned. As to Smith; 1 have no fears. . He is a deud shot and can take care of himself, bnt he is not an unfeeling man, and is In clined to respect any partiality' you may have In favor of any particular part of your anatomy.

Now, if there la. any particular spot. that you would like to have Smith’s bullet enter be lias commis sioned me to say that your wishes will be respected.” This extraordinary proposition stag gered the New Yorker.

After- bo recovered his composure be replied that he would confer witli his second, and Mr. Lamar, after an impressive farewell, took his leave.
