The nonheads howl and howl and l.it-1 tie Joe seems us deaf hh a post. The meeting of tie- Georgia Weekly Press Astiociatiou in Americas on July I2th-13tli will lif an interesting occasion. Far away from this native blackberry l patch, the weekly editor will sail ] down tin- from Humbridge t.o Apalachicola, and bask in Florida sunshine and j sutuple ihe melon crop. Georgia is alright today with h*-r thousands of acres of corn and cotton fairly lifting the earth in its rapid grow th. Hut the calam-1 itv however abides with us still. The census enumcratiors have j probably given us all that’s com ing to iis, but this old county of Montgomery is easily capable of supporting 'twenty people lor every oiih we now have. If the legislature to assemble in u few days would pass a law equalizing taxation in this stale, mid then adjourn, it would lie tin* j biggest piece of work done by : any session in forty years. Our town was honored last week j by the presence of the teachers of the county, w In* came up for Ihe regular examination. No class stands higher than these iutelli . gent men and women,except those who minister from the sacred j desk. Mr. Farmer, you can’t turn the w>>rld over, but you can turn over enough of its surface to cover the grass around thut Jo-cent cotton. One man now does the work, in several lines of farm work, that a dozen men did 2b years ago. Hut farming by unproved methods and with improved implements is just in its in! nicy in this section. Hullo* 1 * only is having wheat parades. That beats bread riots to lieu I h. Progressive counties are getting ready for county fairs. A countv fa r properly conducted is the hi«t education agriculture and uu< 1 home building ever tried. THE EDITOR'S PARADISE. Frederick Bevor, a well known! Cleveland editor, told at a recent press banquet a newspaper story **A Medina editor died,” he; said, “anil ot course, directed to i ascend to the \bodo of tilt* Just. , Hut during the ascent the edi- ! tor’s journalistic cariosity assert-] ed it s**lf, and In* said : “It is permitted for one t*> have a look at —or —the other place'.’’’ “Certainly” was tin* gracious reply and accordingly a descent to the other place was made Her** the editor found much to interest him. He scurried about, and «vas soon lost to vie\\. “H i* angelic escort got worri ed at last ami begun a systematic search n r his charge. He found; him at ist. seated before a fur nace, fanning himself and gazing at tin- jieople in the lire. On the door f the the furnace was a plate saying, ‘Delinquent Sub scribers “Come” said the angel to the editor, ‘we must be going.’ “You go o»j ! ’ the editor an swered, without lifting his eyes lam let coming. This is heaven enough fur me.”—Louisville Times. » A VICTIM OF MOB LAW. How many innocent men are victims ot mob law in the course of a year in this country? The question cannot, of course, be an swered with any degree of corect ness, but it is pretty certain that the number isn’t insignificant. I’he question was sugested by u Pensucola, Fla., dispatch publish ed m the Morning News yester day. Ne a r Beulah, last Sutur- I day, a heinous crime was com-1 mitt.ed, the victim being a young | girl. A negro who was suspected I was followed to a swamp by u mob and shot to death. Hut he 1 wasn’t guilty. He wasn’t given [a chance even to deny his guilt. W hen he learned that he was sus pected terror seized him and he lied. Ihe unthinking mob want ed a victim to satisfy its fury and j so it killed him. By this act, of the mob no good was accomplished. (>n the con trary, tin negroes of the commun ity in which tie* crime was com mitted were led to believe that ; just ice w asn’t dealt out with an ; even hand—that there was one kind ol justice for white men and another kind for black men. Hence, they were conscious of a feeling of resentment —of bitter ness—and this feeling will likely show itself in ot her criines against jt he white people. It. is a pity ! that the mob refuses in so many ! instances to let. the law take its conrse! The guilty man—a negro—who ! has been arrested has confessed ! that. In* committed the crime for ; which the other negro was shot. ; W hat, better argument than this is needed that mob law is full of i danger—that its heavy hand of ifii falls on lln* innocent? Hut j now many of that Florida mob cares whether tin* negro was mno ivnt or guilty? Kvery man of t,hem should he made to care. If the mob is allowed to have its j j wav without protest or inter- j ference tin* time will come when I no man will feel that he is abso- j ! Intelv safe. He will realize that! ! that, lie may be shot down or] strung up by the neck by a mob; excited against him by a false i accusation. The mob should he put down by tin* strong arm of the law. il l members of mobs were punished 1 in accordance with their crimes lynchmgs would be few and far] bet ween —Savannah M o r n i ng N'l'WS.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JUNE 23. 101st. , HIS SAILS TRIMMED. Champ Clark, the democratic . leader, has knocked Tom Watson out of t he box. It was claimed by Watson that the twenty-six democrats who vc ted for the Fitzgerald resolu , fion aided in the passage of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. Du that charge and that charge, {alone he has been trying to de feat Livingston, Edwards, Lee and Howard and get up opposition to Brantley. Not knowing all of the facts in the ease there have been many to criticise the congressmen named. As the facts arc coming to light this opposition is disappearing as chaff before the wind. WatsonJsays that, Cannon in a speech out west somewhere made the statement that without the I aid of these democrats the repub licans could never have passed the , bill. Champ Clark says that, the very next day he denied the state ment and characterized it as an ] untruth. it will be remembered that j Minority Leader Clark prepared a! resolution which was adopted in . the democratic caucus. At the time of its adoption Congressman l Howard asked Mr. Clark if alii present were bound to support ! the resolution. Leader Clark told ! him that he and all of the others were free to support any* resolu tion that might be offered When the matter came up in the house Congressman Fitzgerald of New York, a democrat, prepar ed a resolution that twenty-six democrats and many republicans | favored. It was adopted. The twenty-six democrats did not ] vote for a republican measure. Congressman Clark also shows ! that his resolution did not take from the speaker the appointment,! of the committee on ways and! moans, which handles all tariff, legislation. Mr. Watson in telling about! t he boast of Cannon took particu lar pains not to mention the de nial of Champ Clark. It is not his way of doing business to tell things fayorble to the man lie is lighting. 'The Savannah Press is one of the few papers in the state that has had much to say in condem nation of the acts of the twenty six. Notwithstanding the stute : mont of Champ Clark it still in j sists that the democrats aided in , ; the passage of the tariff bill. The Press has been caught in a box and just simply has to w iggle. ! la the name of common sense, | i how could the action of these men ; have aided in the passage of the ] I tariff bill, when the new rules ! would not have gone into effect ; until the following December, or I | nine months after being passed. \ For nine months Cannon was to ; be the czar, the autocrat, whole I show or anything that the repub- | beans desired him to he. ] Our excellent Savannah con- i temporary reasons hadlv. Its po- 1 sit ion is out of tune with the facts. | It is just another case of dying ] hard.— Dublin Courier-Dispatch. ; • d».'»*.'• *.'« •'••?* *.'♦ • n *.'! •,'* vr» *;» *;» •*•»?» c*» »?* *?**?» c* *-r •gw ] ~ * 5* v? # v* ; In Memoriam. is £ < jf- ; 9; - k. r>. m'mhl.rtX After suffering fora few days with typhoid pneumonia the Sav- 1 lour seen tit to take from us a loving husband and father, lie; leaves an Hged mother wife and seven children and a host of friends to mourn his departure.
