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. What a Little Faith Did FOR MRS. ROCKWELL. (letter to mks. riNKHAu no.

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 (Continued on Another Pge.)

MACON, GA. 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.
