. That Roanoke Affair.
The Savannah Morning News defends
Mayor Trout in his attempt to defend
the negro, in an editorial as follows:
The tragedy at Roanoke, Va.,Wednes
day night is deplorable from every point
of view. The lives o! nine men were
sacrificed and many others were serious
ly wounded, all on account of a worth
less negro who bad committed an out
rageous crime, and whom a mob deter
mined to lynch in violation of law.
Did the autliorites do right in using
force to uphold the law 1 They unques
tionably did. The very man who deter
mined to lynch the negro and finally
succeed in their purpose, helped to make
the law and to elect the men whose duty
it is to enforce it. They knew the risk
they incurred when they decided to take
the criminal out of the hands of the au
thorities and lynch him. They are in
dignant now, because they were resisted
with such fatal results, but when the
-excitcmeut dies out they cannot help
admitting they were in the wrong and
that they are responsible for the killing
and wounding of so many citizens.
A few years ago Birmingham was the
scene of a similar tragedy. The pris
oner in that case was a white man. The
sheriff warned the mob of his purpose to
defend the prisoner at all liazzards, but
the warning was not heeded. Quite a
number of citizens were killed and others
were wounded.
There is no room for sympathy for the
Roanoke criminal who was lynched and
then Burned. His crime was not one
punishable by death, but nobody regrets
his fate. He was entitled, however, to
a trial and the law should have been
permttted to take its course. The de
termination of a mob to take the law
into its own hands has filled many a
home with sorrow and brought into ex
istence feuds that may last a genera
tion.
Lynch law is not excusable in any
community where there are courts and
officers of the law. If the idea that it is
should be encouraged there would soon
be an cud to ln*v and order apd to
the punishment of criminals by tie
courts. Mob violence would take the
place of law, and white caps would un
dertake to regulate the business and
morals of communities. Safety lies in
strict obedience to to the lawC

There was never a more convincing
argument of the power of the press than

needy, and it has wrought a great work.

Oar Gaests.
It is well known that there are a num
ber of Brunswick people in Waycross,
all of whom have been here some weeks,
most of them over a month. And while
we do not think it necessary to do so,
still there is no harm in calling the at
tention of our citizens to the fact that
these good people are our guests and
should receive more than ordinary at
tention. That the ladies especially, of.
the Brunswick contingent, are heart
sore and lonely, is but a natural suppo
sition, and we ask that our own noble
women see to it that they do not lack for
those little attentions which only woman
knows how to offer. Life is short
and after all, its amenities are
all that makes it worth liv
ing. Look up the lonely and grief
stricken strangers in our midst, if such
there be, and bid them be of good cheer.
They will appreciate it now and the re-
mem be ranee of your kindness will lin
ger with them in the years to come.
Waycross must not be found wanting in
the matter of hospitality to the stranger
within our gates.
