ing i oin fort a lly—'The Lineage ol
Thia Latent Outbreak Traced Step
by Step From the First Great
Cause.
From the subject "The Pedigree of
Lynch Law” Rev. A. M. Williams,
pastor of Trinity Methodist Church,
last night discussed lynching and its
causes, with especial reference to the
result of constant waiting for indi
vidual prosecution, instead of action
on the part of the authorities. The
text was taken from 1 Timothy i:8:
"But we know that the law is good if
a man use it lawfully.” Among other
things he said:
"The increase of lawlessness in our
country is startling. Wise observers
have betn declaring that we were in
an epidemic of crime. The contagion
seems to spread. The situation is suf
ficiently alarming to call for the most
earnest study, the best directed effort,
and the most strenuous treatment.
The body politic is diseased and the
rational course to pursue is to do away
with the causes of the disease. I pro
pose to discuss one that has been over
looked. but that I am sure accounts
largely for our unfortunate condition.
“The treatment of crime has been
too much an individual matter rather
than a public concern. When law has
been violated the authorities have de
pended on the interested party to pros
ecute. This has grown into the peo
ple and they are taught by object les
sons that law' is a convenience of
which private parties may avail them
selves if they desire to prosecute. This
has degraded criminal law' from a
public duty to a private quarrel.
"Criminal law defines the rights of
man as members of a community, de
clares what is injurious, and provides
means to protect the public. But our
policy reduces criminal to the same
class as the civil law'. A murderer
runs at large if his victim's friends
do not urge his prosecution. The pros
ecution of burglary and other crimes
is left to the injured. Notwithstand
ing our elaborate and expensive police
system, the vindication of law is left
to the affected individuals.
11 lust rut ton of Conditions.
' The condition is illustrated in many
ways. Prosecuting attorneys in this
latitude refuse to use the agents in
their hands to detect crime.
"Retail merchants invoke the aid of
the authorities to suppress a competi
tion violating the Sunday laws, and
are told to makq. the cases them
selves. The policy lottery evil is de
nounced and the powers that be ex
press a willingness to raid, provided
private families do the detective work
and insist on action.
"The saloon laws of Georgia are de
fied. with police connivance. Only last
Sunday night a scene occurred on
West Broad street. A drunken man
was arrested in front of a saloon, with
its side doors wide open and men go
ing in an out as freely as on any
weekday. The drunken man was in
convenient to the private saloonkeeper
and so the law Interferes. The law
breaking liquor house, however, that
tanked up the poor man, goes free.
No private citizen to put it on the
docket and the policeman does not do
it
Tile I net (table Henulta.
“Under these conditions, is it any j
wonder that it falls into contempt?
Is it any wonder that there should be
resentment toward it as a personal
antagonist? la it a marvel that there
should be a feeling of popular discon
tent, manifesting itself in unwarranted
forms, hut legitimate consequent of the
surrender of the law's dignity ?
"There are many ways in which the
lesults are manifested. First it ren
ders void a large class of very neces
sary laws, laws for the protection of
society, the young, and the home. The
proper tiieory of society is that the
police and court officers representing
the whole people will see that these
laws are enforced. These fat and well
paid functionaries get snugly fit in
their places and snooze away. When
demand Is made that they should
make proof of their office the cry Is
uttered, let Interested parties complain
and prosecute and we will act.
"The remedy is to return to the old
and proper theory. What is every
body’s business is nobody’s business.
The right remedy is to demand that our
mayors, policemen, solicitors and bail
iffs detect all crime and enforce all
law. Turn the rascals out who do not
do so. turn them out either by the bal
lot or Impeachment.
Efficient Punishment Weeded.
"Second. The faithful demand for
the fu|l enforcement of law, the impo
sition of efficient sentences, the perse
verance in demand that the sentence
be fully executed, lead to a charge of
persecution. Feraonalism has been so
woven into our penal methods that
prosecution and persecution are con
sidered synonymous.
"Gad Bryan is a case In point. Those
who insist that this persistent defier
of law and corrupter of morals shall
actually serve his sentence In Jail are
painted as malignant. By the way, it
Is reported ‘among the heathen and
Gashmir salth It,’ that the aforesaid
Bryan has been seen in Savannah sev
eral times since his hasty exodus.
“Personally I would rather do him
a favor than an injury, but I must
contend for the sacredness of law.
The North aud Hie Sooth.
"There is no good in such compari
son*. as are frequent of lute, between
the North and the South In regard to
lawlessness. Our whole country is
*ick with the disease. It is futile
to contend which is most ill, and poor
consolation to recognise the similarity
in symptoms.
"But which, however, shows the bet.
ter record in treating the policy lot
tery and punishing the gambler. New
Tork or Savannah? 'At Adams has
nearly served his term In Sing Ping

from the suspicion of persecution on
the part of anybody.
Opportunity for Police draft.
"Third, the private prosecution of
crime affords the opportunity for po
lice graft. The fixed policy of the le
gal authorities to enforce all law
faithfully without regard to person
puts everybody on the same plane be
fore the law.
"The tacit understanding among po
lice officers that some violations are
to be winked at furnishes the police
man's badge with a power to secret
ly purchase favors and opens the door
to graft. I have no data on which to
make a local charge of its utilization
here, but in other cities it has been
employed to the immense disgrace of
civilized government.
The Lynching Evil.
"The fourth evil of the private pros
ecution of crimes is illustrated in the
lynch habit of our day. In the States
boro case those who sympathize With
the mob fix their attention on the per
sons involved. They excuse the mili
tary from protecting negro brutes.
They lose sight of the beneficent pur
poses of punishment in the conception
of seeking vengeance on the offender.
There is where the mis-education hurts
and the misdirection of thought mis
led.
The military were not sent there pri
marily to defend two negro flends.
The protection of Cato and Reed was
the incident. Vindication of law', pre
servation of order, maintainanee of
civilization, conservation of the good
name of the state, was the fundamental
duty involved. The outcome was sad,
because mighty purposes were defeated.
"The latest manifestation of lawless
ness in the state Is the offspring of this
principle. The killing of the negroes
can hardly be dignified as mob action.
A few smart Alecs take the ease in
their own hands and cofnmif a brutal
murder. That is the proper statement
of the affair. It is the legitimate
descendent of the theory of -private
prosecution. Let ns trace it.
"Wait for private parties to enforce
law is downward step number one.
Next step angry multitudes of private
citizens take the offices of solicitor,
judge, jury, sheriff, executlouer, in
their own hands and lynch. Third
downward step, private parties reverse
decisions of magistrates and punish
by cowardly assassination. Horrid,
you say, but the sire of anarchy is
found in the court policies of the
county and city w'hen they refuse to
execute law through public officers of
detection and prosecution.
Rvtln of Lynch Law.
"The evils of lynch law cannot be
overstated. It fails ,to correct the
crimes at which it is aimed! "The ex
perience of centuries and civilization
agree that cruelty in punishment ex
asperates rather than awes. In savage
torture it brutalizes the community. It
punishes the innocent oftener than the
guilty.
“It will not confine Itself to the ne
gro, but will spread from race to race.
The Ku Klux days prove that affirma
tion. It will widen Its scope and be
come the tool of prejudice and spleen.
In a word, mob rule foretells a reign
of terror.
"The cure of the evil must be a rad
ical revival of respect for law. No
temporary expedient or partial treat
ment wilt succeed. Pulpit, press and
citizen must unite in a demand for
the faithful execution of all law. No
exemptions must be allowed as to stat
ute. race, or condition of men. The
whole law must be fully enforced, en
forced equally, surely, unerringly and
the punishment* must be efficient.
Otherwise the whole fabric is in dan
ger of destruction.
OPTIMISM OF FAITH
WILL RIGHT THE WORLD.
Rev. Mcf nrkle Prcaelied Interesting
Sermon In (right of Reeent Events.
Rev. W. P. McCorkle preached an
interesting sermon at the First Pres
byterian Church at the morning serv
ice on “The Optimism of Faith,'”
which ,tn the light of recent events in
Georgia, was timely.
No reference was made directly to
any of the recent exercises of mob law
in the state, the pastor taking the
optimistic view of faith In—
" God's in His heaven:
And all's right with the world.”
Whatever retrograde movement there
has been in politics and society, he
believes it has been with God's pur
pose to stimulate the efforts of the
church and the state to more clearly
define the right from the wrong.
In the abstract Rev. McCorkle ex
pressed the belief that all was work
ing right, that right would prevail in
the end, and the present disturbances
were but to emphasize what must be.

AT THE THEATER
Without going into detail regarding
"The Liberty Belles” production which
will be seen Friday night it may be
said the sensational hit in the first
act takes the shape of the pink paja
mas worn by one of the girls in the
cast. This maiden is a flaxen-haired,
blue-eyed young woman who for the
last two seasons has been drifting
across the footlights In more than one
Broadway production. But there are no
less than twenty other novelties in
troduced in "The Liberty Belles,” in
cluding the latest sensation, the ra
dium ballet. The sale of seats will
open this morning at 9 a. m. Prices:
Orchestra. $1.50 and $1.00; balcony, 75
and 50 cents; gallery, 25c.
One evident meaning of "Candida,”
which will be seen Saturday matinee
and night, is that it is a protest
against the conventional play of the
last twenty-five years (or more) with
its stereotyped hero, heroine and vil
lain. It is also a protest against the
conventional sociological morality of
the nineteenth century, a protest which
has made itself felt in quarters of
greater potency than the stage. All
this comes as second thought to the
1 heater-goer, who is primarily ab
sorbed in the humor and amusing in
cidents of the performance.

BEE STING POISONS.
Remarkable Discovery Made by a
DintiiiKiilnhed French Chemist.
From the Pall Mall Gazette.
M. Phtsallx, a distinguished French
chemist, has made a discovery about
the nature of bee stings that Is quite
a revelation, and, considering that
bees have been carefully studied for
thousands of years by the most fa
mous naturalist-philosophers, from Sol
omon and Aristotle onward, this Is
specially interesting. Hitherto the
generally accepted theory about the
sting of the queen bee has been:
First. That it has been “given” her
to protect her hard-earned stores of
honey from marauding insects, etc.
Second. That the darts work inde
pendently and alternately, and are con
nected at the base with the poison sac,
without whose powerful contents such
a tiny weapon would be wholly inef
fective.
Third. That the poison glands pour
an acid secretton (largely formic add)
Into this sac. whence it Is conveyed to
the tip of the sting along the groove
or canal formed by the Junction of the
sheath and the darts.
Fourth. That the formic acid is
known to have considerable antiseptic*
properties.
Fifth. That It Is found present in
well-preserved honey, but not in fresh
ly gathered nectar.
Sixth. That it has been added by
the bees to assist in the preservation
of the honey, but how that is accom
plished has not yet been demonstrated.
M. Phlsaltx's researches appear to
show that the poison contains three
principles—one convulsive, one stupe
fying. and one which stimulates In
flammation. The extraordinary feat
ures of the discovery Is that the poison
contains two ingredients opposed one
to the other. That may account for
the fact that fatal cases of bee sting
are excessively rare, although not un
known. In June. 1900. a boy at Mo!-
Hngton. Oxfordshire, was stung by a
bee. and died within half an hour In
great convulsive pain. An Inquest w-is
held on the body, and a medical man
gave it as hi* opinion that no one
could be fatally poisoned by a bee
sting, and that the boy died from
“heart depression and nerve shock
consequent upon the sting." In the
matter of bee stlnga. as In many other
causes of disease and death, modern
bacterial and chemical researched aro
revolutionising medical theories and
praetiegg.
