A Wrestle With Rudiments.
Old fashioned ideas ol what consti
tutes a business education have not
entirely gone out, says the Detroit
Free Press. There is a druggist in
the city whose young son wanted to
learn the business. The father con
sented, but insisted that the boy must
begin at the very bottom of the lad
der and climb up. In this same store
is anothers boy who has known the
experiences of a neophyte, and who,
with malace aforethought took the
young apprentice under his wing. He
allowed the understudy to sell stamps
at cost, to pass out cough drops un
der supervision and to do the bone
labor in making pills.
One rainy morning trade was slack.
The other boy did not want the
druggist’s son to lose valuable time, so
he took him into the rear room, told
him he had earned a promotion,
brought out a pestle and mortar,
threw some dark substance into the
former and ordered it ground to a
fine powder. It was hot, but the
future druggist worked like a Trojan.
Piece by piece the boy dispensed
with coat, vest, collar, necktie and
cufls, suspended his suspenders and
used the office towel as a mop. In
his zeal he took only half an hour at
noon and at 4 p. m. was keeping up
the motion, though in a state ap
proaching total collapse. It was
then that the chief pharmaceutist and
prescription interpreter happened
along. He stopped, examined the
contents of the mortar, hunted up the
other boy and was just discharging
him when the old gentleman interfer
ed, learned the situation and then
managed between laughs to veto the
dismissals. His son had been strug
gling all day to pulverize a chunk of
rubber.

"REENTHRONE THE Eft*"
A BRILLIANT SPEECH BEFORE THE
BARNESVILLE CHAUTAUQUA.
Following is an able and entertain
ing address delivered before the Bar
nesville Chautauqua, July 6th, by
Hon. Dupont Guerry. Mr. Guerry
said:
In selecting my subject I have
sought to serve rather than please. It
is one with which all are more or less
familiar, but few fully appreciate or
understand; “Our courts.”
It might be instructive to trace
the evolution of courts of Justice
from their beginnings, to their present
highest development in the supreme
court of the United States, the most
august judicial tribunal on earth, but
we will consider .courts as they are
in our time and country.
Like all else, human courts have
their human imperfections, and
fail to accomplish all intended,
but they are as successful as other
human agencies and have done and
are doing more now for the peace,
civilization and happiness of man
kind than any other, il not all other
human agencies. They supply the
chief human force in human progress
and are the bulwark upon which all
other human agencies depend for
existence and exertion. Many cit
izens in their superficial view of
courts demand of them too much
and accord them too little.
An insignificant case of debt is
tried in a superior court. The time
consumed by the witnesses in testi
fying, the lawyers in speaking and
the judge and jury in ascertaining
the law and fact, is worth more than
the subject of litigation. It is there
fore supposed that the community
incurs a comparatively large expense
for practically nothing but such is not
the truth. The fact that defaulting
debtors may be and are thus sued,
and exposed and put to trouble and
expense and many times made to pay
causes many to pay their debts with
out suit who otherwise would not.
A trial of an accused for illicit dis
tilling occurs in a United States
court. Counting the grand jurors
who find the bill, the panels from
which the trial jury is selected, the
court officials sn 1 witnesses, it some
times happens that from fifty to sev
enty five people, most of whom at
tended at inconvenience are engaged.
No matter how formal the procedure,
the insignificance of the case as com
pared to the great government of the
Unitied States and its cumbersome
and expensive machinery, makes the
trial an apparent farce. But the
punishment of such offenders is nec
cessary to the collection of the inter
nal revenue, otherwise distillers not
paying tax would drive out those
paying, and the millions of internal
revenue would not be collected,
though the curse of the nefarious
traffic would be as great, if not
greater.
An accused is tried in our superior
court for murder or some other grave
ofleuse, is convicted and executed,
usually with reasonable expedition;
sometimes after more or less delay.
11 is punishment may be meager
recompense for the life he may have
taken, or the happiness he may have
destroyed. The purpose of punish
ment however is not personal retali
ation, nor public retribution. The
law of christianized man has no re
taliation, no retribution. “Vengeance
is mine, I will repay” saith the Lord.
With the law punishment is not
the end, but a means to an end.
The prevention of other crimes. In
our thoughtlessness or impatienc we
ignore the vast success the law con
stantly achieves in this direction.
Its negative good is looked for ex
clusively in connection with crimes
that a r e punished, when such good
exists almost entirely in the crimes
that are prevented. Its positive good
is likewise limited to what is pres
ently produced by the courts; when
in fact nearly all such good arises in
the aftairs of men over which the
courts take no actual cognizance.
The obedience to private and pub
lic obligation the law is constantly
compelling; the protection it affords
to property that is never stolen or
injured; to character never defamed;
to person never assaulted; to life nev
er taken and virtue never assailed,
men overlook and somtimes in brut
ish wrath dethrones the law, tke only
king of a free people and the only
dispenser of social justice ordained
of God.
Mob violence instead of being
better or a substitute for law, is but
crime itself; crime set off against
crime; crime that diminishes respect
tor all Jaw among all people and
thereby multiplies the violations of
all law, human and divine.
Over the harmless and timid, mob
violerce may reign in terror for a
season, but in the brutally vicious,
those capable of the most diabolical
crimes, it stimulates animosity and
excites resentment, if it does not in
crease such crimes. Punishment by
the law if not entirely efficacious, has
no such adverse effect.
Mob violence is no appeal to high
er law as some suppose, but to lower
law; that of family and tribal retali
ation, which with its revenges and
never ceasing blood shed prevails
among barbarians until thiough nat
ural evolution and the benign in
fluence of religion, justice enthroned
in an impartial and legally constitu
ted tribunal succeeds the depotism of
wrath and vengeance.
The civil war and adverse legisla
tion and malignant prejudice against
us since, have made and kept us an
impoverished people, and general ed
ucation among us is short of that of
other states. But notwithstanding this,
the people of the old south, in true
manhood and womanhood are today
the best on earth.
Under all the circumstances no
people would have been better to the
the negro than have been the white
people of the south. On the other
hand, under all the circumstances,
no people would have been better
to the white people than have been
the black people of the south. Dur
ing the entire period of the civil war,
waged against us largely for their
freedom, their loyalty to us and de
votion to our unprotected women
and children proved that they were
a peaceable and governable people.
Unfortunately, however, for the
south, in the antagonism engendered
by forced emancipation and legal
equality, intensified by premature
enfranchisement and a poisonous po
litical education, the most depraved
of the one race through brutal lust
and fiendish race hatred, persist in
diabolical crime against the woman
hood of the other. In no way could
the disposition of the southern white
man to violence, be so instantly and
furiously arouse*!. While the more
enlightened element has sufficient
self restraint and the courage to con
demn mob violence, the naturally
cruel and lawless, with greater race
antipathy, re-enforced by the weaker
of their kind from the mob and do
its bloody work.
Lynching once established readily
extends to crimes not originally con
templated, and unless restrained,
ultimately to acts not crimes. The
diabolical crime referred to, is not
only the direct cause of much of our
lynching, but has produced that con
dition of lawlessness and savagery that
results in lynching for other crime.
Were it not for this cause mob vio
lence would most raiely occur in the
south. If this is not the truth we are
without excuse before God and man
for its excess in our midst.
Those who attribute it to our laws
and courts slander the state at large,
for after all the laws and courts of a
people are the truest exponents of
their standard of civilization.
The readiest suggestion as a
remedy for lynching is the
discontinuance of the crime that
causes it. But alas! while the latter
produces the former, resort to the
former does not prevent the latter
and what we need is a remedy for
both. To the impatient this view of
the subject may be discouraging, but
after all the best remedies we
have for these awful crimes and
counter crimes, are simply the rem
edies we have for all other crimes,
the law of man and the gospel of
Christ. Human wisdom has not de
vised anything better than the former,
and almighty God has not provided
anything better than the latter.
They may seem mild and slow in
their work with humanity in its low
est stages, but violence only retards
that work and obstructs our progress
in civilization and Christianity.
Of course the administration of
justice should be as prompt as the
great end in view permits, and if our
laws can be better adapted to the
exigencies of the present situation,
certainly such should be done and I
shall read in outline some sugges
tions in form of a bill, which I trust
may be of some service. The habit
of charging these crimes and counter
crimes to the technicalities and de
lays of the law, is not only slanderous
but harmful in that it increases dis
trust and contempt of law. The
truth is, and we all know it, the mob
does not excute the rape fiend, be
cause the law cannot be trusted to
do it. The position of the mob is
that the law shall not do it. Not
because the law is not sure enough
for him, but because he is not good
enough for the law and because the
mob is not willing for the victim to
give public testimony. In Georgia
there has never been a case of this
kind in which the law has been al
lowed to take its course, where the
court did not do prompt and full
justice to the state.
Meaningless and irrelevant sug
gestions of improvement of our sys
tem are constantly made. A com
mon one is that when there has been
a fair trial and a just conviction,
there should be no other trial. This
is the law of Georgia now, and has
i been for years. The trouble is in
the questions that are left open,
namely:
1. What is a fair trial?
2. Has the defendant had such a
trial?
3. Who is to determine whether
he has had a fair trial or not?
The well established present rule
of our law covering the first and
second questions may be stated to
be that if the judge has committed
no materfal error of law, and a qual
ified jury has convicted on a rea
sonable amount of evidence, the
verdict stands whether the court ap
proves it or not.
The Ryder case, about which
there has been so much misrepre
sentation, is not an acception, as the
supreme court in that case, all six of
the justices concurring, granted a
new trial because the court below
ruled the defendant to trial without
most material and important evidence
and not on any technical ground, as
the opinion of the court plainly shows.
Those who have so much to say
about technicalities are either dema
gogues or ignoramuses who do not
know a technicality from a great con
stitutional provision.
Now as to the third question. Who
is to decide whether the prisoner has
had a fair trial or not? Not the pub
lic. There is no way for the public
to act. Certainly not the prosecu
tion and its partisans, nor the defense
and its partisans, nor the newspapers.
The judges whose rulings are attack
ed and without review? Some of
them on such occasions act as if they
were on trial instead of the accused.
There is but one answer to this ques
tion, if there is to be a right of new
trial. Its ultimate determination
must rest with a different and higher
court, for after all it must not be for
gotten that the innocent and guilty
are tried alike.
We even hear it urged that the
guilty should not be tried at all. By
a parity of reasoning it may also be
urged that the innocent should not
be tried at all.
The only means of establishing
guilt known to civilization, is an im
partial trial with all its necessary de
lays. In our state these delays are
not near so common or extended
since provision has been made for
cailed terms of oir trial courts and
prompt hearings in our supreme court.
We have had however three nota
ble cases of delay recently, those of
Mrs. Nobles, Tom Allen and Flanr.a
gan. The extraordinary delay in the

A New British torpedo boat de
stroyer, in course of construction on
he Tyne, is to be fitted with turbine
engines which, it is claimed, will drive
her at the rate of forty-five miles an
hour. Experts are of the opinion
that the vessel will be able to cross
the Atlantic ocean in a few hours
more than three days. The predic
tion is made that the turbine engine
will yet revolutionize transatlantic

Miss Cordelia Moore, of Malone,
N. Y-, until recently, has been a
life-long invalid from palpitation
of the heart and weakness of the
blood.
physicians were puzzled over
her case, their most skillfnl efforts
were baffled. Various remedies
were tried without avail. The pro
verbial “change of climate” was
I advised, but the constant change
wore upon her until, to quote her
! mother’s words, “she became a
living ghost.” Miss Moore said:
“Upon advice of a friend I began
taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People and before the first
box was used I noticed a great
change. I began to regain my
appetite and felt better generally.
. After finishing the first box I took
six more. The effect was wonder
ful. I grew strong and gained in
flesh. I never felt better in my
life than Ido now. I weigh more
than ever before and I consider
myself cured.”
From the Gazette , Malone, N. Y.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
contain, in a condensed form, all the ele
ments necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are an unfailing specific for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neural
gia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the
after-effects of the grip, palpitation of the
heart, pale and sallow complexions, and all
forms of weakness either in male or female.
