THE LAW AMD “THE LORD.”
la bis darkened sell In Marietta alts John Bullard, condemned for
murder.
Racked with • dread dlaeaae from which there la no eecapc. his ov
ary movement a froth pain, hla • vary breath a torture to his decaying
lunga, be Itatma to the monotoooua Uck, tick, tick of the clock above hla
head.
It will Uck ont but n few more houra for John Bullard. By Friday nt
noon ha must be raised from hla narrow bunk and half carried to the gal
lows.
John Bullard la watching the clock.
But not as other men condemned to die have watched the bands go
round. Not aa old man Rawllna watched the clock at Valdosta when he
knew there was ho hope.
John Bullard Is the pawn In the game of death—the stake In a grim
race between consumption and the law.
And as a slave In the market place might choose between two mas
ters. John Bullard Is praying with every feeble gasp that the dlseaae
which (a tearing at his lungs may win the game and aave him from
that more awful fau. * ——
It Is not death he dretda—but the manner of It. He Is a dying man,
asking only that he be permitted to die—not to be dropped half a corpse
from the trap of the gallows. It la not much ha asks.
Thirty day*! That la all!
Thirty days' respite would not save John Bullard's life. Even a full
pardon would not restore him to the whrld. He could not be "a menace
to the community." He could never commit another crime.
It would give him only time to die, to die decently on the narrow
board he calls hi* bed; to compose his pain-rocked limbs and go to face
hla Maker, to ask of Him that mercy above that was not refused below.
That is all. Juat time to die. Bullard asks ao more. He has almost
ceased to hope for even that, and aa ho watches the little clock ho meas
ures the depth of each new coughing fit. hoping, praying, that hla tired
body may release hla soul before the hour when the sheriff must knock -
at bla cell. *“ 2
Will the great state of Georgia play auch a game with death?
Will the commonwealth race against the white plague for this poor
farmer's life?
The odda are all with the state. Consumption Is as alow aa It Is sure,
and the atate will have an easy victory If It runs the race to the end.
One man's life is the slake. One poor fanner who shot down hla
daughter and whose life has been a living hell since that fatal day.
John Bullard said Wednesday that hla daughter's death was an acci
dent That wa«T~Selatea plea and parhopa It la-net the truth—Hla
friends have pleaded that he was Insane, and certainly hla actions since
hla Imprisonment have borne out the plea, In aplte of the teamed gen
tlemen who have passed upon bla case.
But It la not a question of guilt or Innocence now. It la not a ques
tion of sanity or Insanity, of Impulse or accident or crime.
It la a question of humanity. That la all.
There was a governor of a neighboring stale, who pardoned many
prisoners, and both his friends and hla enemies upbraided him for hla len
iency. But he smiled and aald:
"Some day I must face the great Governor of all the universe. Shall
1 thee ask )Um for that mercy which I failed Io show others?"
John Bullard alls coughing In his cell, listening to the monotonous
ticking of the prison clock. 1
Governor Joseph M. Terrell alts In the executive chamber and before
him on the polished desk lies the last pita for a few pitiful days of life
for a man already dying.
Shall John Bullard be permitted to die In hla bed. even though within
prlaoh wmtti. to Join nt* daughter with hla throat unmarked by the ills-
-groeeful-rop*-^- —
Or shall hla emaciated form be dragged to the gallows and support
ed by grim officers of the law until the trap shall fall beneath his feeble
IlmbB?
It requires but the stroke of the governor's pen.
It Is the “Law'' against the "Lord!” Both have condemned this man
to die!
8ball the Law race for vengeance against the “Lord?" Surely when
God's hand la laid In swift and certain condemnation on a criminal the
governor who represents human wisdom and reprisal can afford to stand
aside and wait raapectfui to see what God will do.
Shall God punish the slayer or ahall the Georgia law anticipate
Him?
la not the question worth at least a few days of consideration?
Governor Terrell, the question Is With,you!

WATER WORKS IN OUR 8UBURBAN TOWNS.
The only drawback to the delights of suburban life about Atlanta la
the absence of water works and sewerage.
With these Improvements added there are so many things of pleas
ure. of pure air, and of direct economy to commend tho lurbtirbs that
their future growth and popularity seems assured.
Because the suburban towns of Atlanta are already alive and astir In
this Important matter, and Decatur, the oldeit and largest suburb, has
already led the way.
It only remains to remark that the spirit of public improvements
Ik contagious.
For with Decatur's example freshly In view, College Park Is moving
now- toward the establishment of a water works and sewerage system.
The history of the Decatur movement In this connection Ib Interesting
and Instructive. We are Indebted to Commissioner M. I. Stone tor the
facts.
The question of building a water and sewerage system for Decatur
lias been discussed at different times for the past five years, but It was
not until last year that this matter asaumed any definite shape. Vartoua
reasons were advanced why the town should not attempt to have water
nnd sewerage systems, such as the high tax rate. Inability to raise suffi
cient funds to ereet. and many other similar arguments.
Notwithstanding objections nn election was held there AtiRuat H,
last, us to whether the town should Issue bonds to the extent of 114,000
to provide an up-to-date water system and a partial sewerage system. Out
of a registration of 121 votes, there were but four who voted against Issu
ance of bonds.
The present estimated population of Decatur Is about 2.000. In 1903
property returned for taxation amounted to $550,000. In 1906. knowing
Hint former values would not provide sufficient funds for these systems,
a board of assessors was appointed to assess property which had here
tofore been returned at less than Its fstr value. T,ho work of the asses
sors resulted In an Increase In taxable value# rtf about lus.000 for tho
year 1908, or a total valuation flf $668,000. ,
On this valuation ($868,000) the town Issued $39,000 water bonds and
$5,000 sewerage bonds.
Preceding the bond issue the town tax rate for all pttr|x>sea was 65c
l«r $100. plus a sanitary tax of $2.50 per year. Since the Issuance of
bonds the total to am tax to $t.l5 per $100 and with Installation of a com
plete sewerage system the sanitary tax ran be left off
Since the bonds were voted, less than a year ago. taxable values have
lieen Increased probably $50,000 and when the water system It In Altera
tion It Is expected that values will Increase at the rate of $50,000 to $80.-
000 per year.
There Is no valid reason why any of Decatur's residents nhrtuld have
voted against a bond Issue for the purposes mentioned, since by reason
of the Installation of these systems property becomes morn desirable and
more valuable, and a rapid Increase In population Is assured by reason
of the acquirements of these necessities.
Owing to limited amount of bonds tba town wat able to Issue, U will
bn MMMW7 to bn economical, but with the funds at band It expects to
have a Brat data water system and a sewerage system completed by tbo
time tbt water works ora In operation.
By organising only e volunteer Ore department Decatur's rate of in
surance will be reduced U per cent.
Pipe for tho water works has already been purchased, and bids for
the construction of the system will be completed not later than October
1, this year.
In a movement of this sort there are always protestants, but tbe wel
fare of tbe majority must not be aaertfleed by reason of complaints from
• few timid or penurious objections.
Tbe movement for a water and sewerage syx^m In College Park Is
now under vigorous agitation In that beautiful suburb, and It la regarded
as a certain Improvement daring the present year.
And ao Atlanta growa In canter and in circumference—In Ita body
and Ita limb*, and the population of today Is already making the condi
tion* under which It will be possible to expand and multiply.
DANIEL J. BULLY PASSING.
Tbe Georgian records with respect and with regret the probably fa
tal lllneaa of Dante! J. Sully, of New York, who perhapa by the time theae
line* ahall. reach the public will have peaaed away.
Time was when Daniel Bully was crowned the king of cotton In the
market* of the republic. He was always a strong and forceful factor In
the development of tbe Imperial staple. Moreover, he was always reck
oned a good friend and champion of tbe Southern fanner. He ran cotton
once by hla manipulation to the stately price of I Sc and when he went
down before tbe skillful machinations of his more sclflah enemies, tbe
esteem In which he was held In Dixie voiced Itself in a proposition for
the farmer* of the South In $6.00 contributions to set him on hla feet
again.
The South remembers Sully In such kindly feeling that It will share
with hla friends and his Immediate people the regret for his uotlmely
end.
BOIFEUILLET IN REMINIS
CENCE.—Col. John T. Holfculllet
la always at hla best In reminis
cence. and along this line our es-
teemud friend has been writing
some very vivid and Interesting
recollections of the courts and of
the political campaign* and pub-
lie enterprises of past days In tbe
columns of The Macon Telegraph.
Meanwhile, through a brief ab
sence. The Georgian has lost con
nection with the chain of events
by which Colonel Bolfeulllet pass
ed from the editorship of The
Macon News to an editorial con
nection with The Macon. Tele-
graph.—We do not undoratand.—
but we are glad that the profes
sion retains so shitting an orna
ment In the ranks. It Is to ua.
however, among the revolutions
or the eru. that while the editor
of The Atlanta Constitution has
become ao stalwart a critic of tbe
railroads In the 8outb. that the re
cent manager of bla political cam
paign, hlmaelf the long standing
and consistent friend of the peo
ple's cause, should have assumed
an editorial connection with that
paper which of all others In the
South Is the most stalwart and
consistent In Ita defense of rail
road poHeles and conditions In the
South.
There Is no reflection Intended
to be conveyed In these lines. It
Is simply a casual comment from
a quiet observer who notes these
aa two among many changes of
the last five years.
