GEORGIA’S LYNCHING RECORD.
<hcv.s a Gratifying L'etrcase in
L’nl”\vlul Executon J.r
Crime.
lie fact that seventy-three
persons were lynched in It f. 6 ai d
only sixty-five in 1905 does rot
indicate that conditions are grow
ing worse, on fie whole. . The
figures for the past two cr thiee
years show a smaller number t f
lynching than dmiig several
years previous. The tenancy
is toward a decrease rather than
an increase in the annual num
ber of lynching.
Of the seventy-three persons
lynched last year, only three
Wire white, and on> o them a
woman. Such ft-tin ssi o\v vhat
e lormcua factors race prejudice
and ; t gro criminality aio in the
causes of these lawless out
breaks. T 1 el. t hed in Georgia
were all r.egrces, and t l c recoid
is as follow s :
May 12, Eastman, \\ ill Wo
mack, assault, hanged.
July 11, Swainsboro, Ed Pear
son, attempted assault, shot.
September l'\ Culloder,
Charles Miller, attempted as
sault, shot.
September 24, Sa3tpoint, Zeb
Long, disoider’y conduct, bung
ed.
Novembers, Wrightsville, Wil
liam Ne\vcomo, murder, shot.
November 7, Pelham, Mary
Hicks, murder, shot.
November 7, Pelham. Jack
Brown, murder, shot.
November 8, Sale City, J. T.
Hicks, murder, hanged.
At least one feature of ihisj
gloomy and unwelcome record is
a source of gratification, and that
is th it except in one instance,
the lynch ings were provoked by
crimes of the most serious char
acter, and even the excepted i fi
nance was an outgrowth of the j
Atlanta riots. Nobody was lynch
ed in Georgia for “carrying a
pistol’’ (as in Mississippi), or for,
“theft of a silver dollar’’ or for
“stealing a calf” (as in Louis
iana), the crimes, except in the
One instance noted, being in ■
four cases murder, and in four
Casts felonious assault or at
tempted felonious assault. The |
unenviable distinction is fastened
upon Georgia, however, of being 1
the only State that lynched a
woman.
We may appropriately refer
here to the published report of
the comrniltee'of business men
who investigated the Atlanta
riots. The report shows that
twelve persons were killed and
twenty wounded. Of the dead
two were whites and ten colore j;
t'wo w ere females and ten males.
Of the wounded, ten were whites
and sixty negroes. Five thous
and three hundred and sixty
three dollars were expended by
t ie committee for the .relief of
the wounded and for the families
of the dead, of which the city
paid SI,OOO. The report contains
the gratifying information that
no decent white people were con
cerned in the rioting and declaies
that the ‘ 'tough element has cru- J
cified Atlanta in the eyes of the
world, and shocked the moral
spnse of our people. ’’- Macon

The New Cash Store starts off with the new year, and why not turn a new leaf and buy for
cash. It pays u and it pays us. Did you ever stop to think that when u trade at a store where
they sell goods on a credit, or charge them, that u pay enough extra for your goods 2 pay for
the fellow that don’t pay? Well u do, and u have 2 pay extra for book-keepers and collectors,
and also for the merchant carrying your account. All this must B added on 2 the cost of the
goods, when the merchant marks the goods, and when he sells them, u foot the bill and help 2
pay the bad accounts. Now we do not come 2 u with a long hot air story, but we give u below,
prices that all we ask u 2 do, is 2 compare them with our wou!d-B=competitors prices, and
also what u have been paying elsewhere. Our price will B uniform,
ONE FRIGE 2 EVERYBODY ALIKE,

(or every customer that comes in our store. Away with
CREDIT AND HIGH PRICES.
Remember, we guarantee every article sold by us 2 Bas represented, and if for any reason
the goods r not sotisfactory, it was unintentional on our part, and we will cheerfully refund u
your money, by.returning the goods. We make this change In our business, because we can

DON’ r BE TOO EASY GIRLS.
Miss Beatrice Fairfax Says Girls
Must Not Make Things too
Easy for Men.
Girls, don’t make things too
easy for the men. Don’t take so
much of the love-making off their
shoidders that they will feel that
they have only to hold out a
languid hand and you will drop
into it like over-ripe fruit.
Up to a certain point the hard
er one has to work for anything
the more it is appreciated. With
men this is especially the case.
They do not think much of a
girl who comes at their least
beck and call.
You know, if you do ali the
running and the flattering, and
not only will you spoil them
dreadfully, but you will also
weary them very quickly.
To be smothered with sweet
ness is about as quick a way to
kill love as any that I know of.
Let the man take the iniative,
then if you care to you may res
pond. You can convince him of
your love without growing too
effusive.
I have often during the sum
mer time watched the men and
girls out in the boats, in the
parks, etc.
I regret very much to say that
in many cases the girls were do
ing most of the love-making.
It isn’t dignified, girls, nor
does it show proper pride.
For centuries it has been the
custom for man to do the court
ing. In thousands of cases he is
led by woman, but she is adroit
enough to do the leading so un
obtrusively that no one save her
self is conscious of it.
If you devote your energies to
be well-mannered, attrac ti v e
girls, you won’t have to run after
the men; they will save you the
trouble by running after you.
You can be as cordial and
friendly as you like, but don’t, I
beg of you, humiliate yourselves
by running after men who are
indifferent to you.
I have seen a spoiled young
man taking life very easily whiles
half a dozen girls fluttered
him, waiting on him, laughing
at his feeblest joke, eagerly
awaiting their turn for a nod of
approval from his lordship.
Don’t you think that a rather
disgusting state of affairs—a lot
01 nice girls losing their heads
over a very shallow, conceited
young man ?
His empty-headedness could
not be helped—he was born that
way—but his conceit was the
result of the adulation of a lot of
foolish girls.
The solitary man one sees at
summer resorts is a clear illus
tration of what girls will do to
attract a man’s attention.
A girl who at other times would
never dream of behaving in such
an indignified manner will posi
tively fling herself at a man’s
head if she cannot get attention
any other way.
All that is just what I want
; you to avoid, girls. I want you
to have a good time, with plenty
of attention from men, but I do
not want you to have it at the
expense of your pride and dig
nity.
Be sweet and friendly, but
don’t let all the wooing come
from your side.
