We already have a nucleus at Athens

who have helped themselvi*. but *o to

of agriculture. I, therefore, re com
mend that mffloient money be appropri
ated to the university for the ereotlon of
ralteble building*, and properly eqnipp
lug same for thia great work.
Tho Savannah Pres* ha* these strong
word* on the' subject of the Watkins
vilie lynching horror.
'The white people of the South will
rale within the Soath’e borders, a*
their deeliny and dnty and the immi
nent clamerof self-preservation itself
declare they most rale. If the rale ii
to be successful, it must be worthy,
inspired in every action by tho state's
motto "wiadom, Justice and modem
tlon." Every lynching i* a blow at
peaceful white supremacy— an invite-
(too to guerilla warfare between virtue
and vice. It i* not self-protection; it is
self-destruction."
It is mid that Walter Roddenbery is
elated for representative of Grady
(Jonnty. The probabilitie* are that he
will never All that poettioo, hat he
would doit well. He modes good
talk yesterday. -
A St. Louis paper 1* running a sorim
of article* "the part the Smiths haVo
played in history.” We have one down
here in Georgia that ia looming
around considerable now day*.
, to get angry.
The Savannah Newt opine* that when
the battle is over Mr. Smith will not
weigh two hundred and fifty pounds, in
all probability, and Mr. Howell's front
stoutness will not be so noMoeable.
Tbs editor of th* ^airman Advertiser
pick* Crisp, Tift and Northtu as three
LYNCHERS ARE MURDERERS.
Thursday's horrible lynching bee at
W**kin*v 111*3 proves more strikingly
than any word* of tongue op pen the
dangers of lawlessness. One white man
and three negroes charged with murder,
one negro ohnrged with attempted
criminal await, one negro convicted of
killing another negro, one charged with
•booting another and one with stealing
a gnn were lynched and a ninth who
was oharged, forcooth, with pointing n
pistol, was shot throe times and left for
dead.
If there be the shadow of an rsouse
for thia wholesale murder, then the,
shadow has not appeared. Their every
act prove* the lynchers to be far more
deserving of death than the men they
lynohed.
Only one of the nine had been convicted
of a crime of any description. The re
mainder were merely ■ aspects and there
was no question of a fair play of justice
to them.
There is a difference between daring
and bravery. A man who wUl be a
party to such a deed as now besmirches
the fair name of Uaorgia may be poa
seaaed of the former, bnt of the latter
he 1* absolutely devoid. He I* nothing
less.than a savage, a brute and removed
from cannibalism only by the edorstiou
of his palate. He Is a teing from whom
the spark of mauhood has departed; he
ia a menace to society mors formidable
than the ont throat highwayman. Snell
a man is the mors dangerous from Ills
lying idea of justlfloatkm. Tueie is no
American living who ooold honestly be
lieve he wonld bo joatiflad In killing an-
oopvioted man such as moat of the Wat-
klnsvUIe victims vero. In lying to their
oonaoienoee, If snob they have, they
hvden their heart to mania r.
A man of this type ie unable to mb
ont from hie hand the first spot of blood,
and despairing, dips in his whole arm.
Ths spot grows luto a mantle of red and
the citizen Into an ootlaw.
Society would bo hotter served by
bringing to Justice, and to hanging ii
yon pleasOj the members of tho Wat-
kiusvllle lynching party tliao almost all
ths other murderers In Georgia com
bined. Ths governor and the stats
legislators should offer such reward and
make suoh other efforts for the detec
tion of the lynchers a* could not fait of
suocess. Tho idea of procf against these
men being impossible to obtain is pre
posterous. Conviction, at g cost of
thousands, would ho cheaply bought. It
oanbe done, and the thinking cltizensof
Georgia demand that the state be freed
of the stigma that rests upou her.
NOT HIRED SAYS DR. WALKER
At the antl-new county- meeting hero
yesterday. Or. W. A. Walker u_ led
attention to an article of recent date in
his paper headed "Why Stand Ye
Here Idle” in which the sentence ap
peared. "It Is said that rams of this
city's most influential citizen* are eren
new in Atlanta hired by Grady county
people to use their influence for that
oonnty. ” Dr Walker who is a member of
the Grady oonnty executive committee
etate* that no Thomas vilie citizen has
been hired to aid Grady oonuty, that a
certain citizen had boon offered a fee
bnt refused It, that this gestleman was
now in Atlanta, and that bo was work
ing for Grady oonnty, that an offer
had been made to pay his expenses
while there, bnt that he did not state
whether or not he wonld accept this
payment.
Amid all this gassy glut of guberrs
torial gabble' yon don't mind bearing •
few foots do yon? Wall here they are.
The office of governor of Georgia car
ries with it little beyond its appointive
or veto power. A governor may hate
the railroads a* much aa be hates
polygamy, and not be able to do any ap
preciable amount of harm to them. The
office is a tiles honor, and should
bestowed upon tho man a ho has done
something to deserve ir, provide i lie is
a man of integrity and good personal
character. There ia no bettor claim
than past performance of *ervi u fer
Georgia. An ounce of achievement de
serve* more credit than a ballot n full
of high sounding talk. Mark our
words This towdy-dow and hoop-la is
all going to die down before ncx July.
Tho people will see clearly ami hear
with undemanding ears and vote ac
cordingly.
A FOOL TRADE.
The first fool trade on record was
when Emu swapped his birthright for s
mem of pottaga. The other day in hi*
Madison speech Hon. Hoke Smith
swapped his record as a friend of educa
tion for amees of (opposed vote-catching
pottage that will sorely tom to gall on
his lip* and ashes in his month. In
other words he advocate* an agnuoltar-
at college separate from the University
of Georgia,
Now whatever else can be said of Mr.
Smith ha is a man of collnra, education,
and breadth of vision. Hie contention
can nos be excused on the grodbdof
ignorance. We great!) fear that he
took thia ground to do just one thing—
catch vote*. Bat as the Atlanta Joor-
ual ia food of chanting “(he people are
not foola, the people are not asses," and
they aro not to be misled by diatribes
that would sound sweet to asinine tym
panums.
A separate agricultural co'lege woull
farther scatter the educational interests
of the state, already loo diversified. It
would oatue great expense for building
and equipment with smell retain. Jaxt
at this time it wonld cripple the en
deavor that the fnenda of the Univer
sity ere making for a school greater and
grander in *11 its departments, especial
ly the agricultural department.
The purpose of agncnltaral education
is not to loach « boy how to handle a
hoc or plow a straight farrow. H* can
learn that at home. It is to give to far-
men' eons what they deserve and shoold
have, a oliance for an education as
broad, af liberal, as enlightening ns that
given to tlie eoos of any other dare of
men, with special attention paid to the
agricultural feature. Why she.Didn't
they have this? Aro they not tho
equate of any other young men in the
state? Ate they leper* or pariahs to bo
herded by themselves.. They can and
do get just the education they nebd at
the University of Georgia- We have
been there cud we know.
The farmers will rebnke this appeal
to prejudice that does not nxiet, to sup-
posed iguoranoe that is in reality keen
umbra landing. Fortunately what Mr.
Smith lliiuke will have little effect on
the future of tho (tale. Io the event of
his election he would not have the pow
er to cairy out his sohetue. Even if t.e
did Lave the power he wonld hesitate
we'believe to pnt into practice such a
radical and reactionary move. His
opinion i» only valuable in showing
what manner of man he ia. This tdoa
of hi* should be eat down on, and sat
down ou hard.
