At (ho meeting nf (he Atuerlraii liar Association In Angus! Iasi. Hon. Thomas J. Kenmu. of Halim Rouge, Louisiana, lead a paper on “The Un written Law. or laiwlcas Rights and Lawful Wrongs." By fur the best thing contained was the following codlfled "decalogue" o( the “Unwritten Law," "Law 1. Any negro man who com mits rape upon n white woman of chaste character shall, without trial or hearing of any kind, bo Instantly put to death by his captors, or other body of respectable citlsens not leas than three In number; and they shall have the right to determine the niuilu nf ex ecution, which may be both cruel and unuiual, the constitution and Inws of the state and «.i the United Slates to the contrary notwithstanding. "Law 2. Any man who commits adultery may be put to death with Im punity by the Injured husband, who shall have the right to determine the mode of execution, lie It ever so cow ardly. "Law 3. Any man who seduces an innocent girl may, without a hearing, be shot, or stabbed to death by her, or nny near relative of hers; and If deemed necessary by the slayer such shooting or stabbing may he done In tho track, or whllo lying In wall. "Law 4. Any man who traduces a virtuous woman’s character for chas tity may he shot with Impunity by her, or her husband, or any near rela- live; but the offender must first be given an opportunity to deny or dls- firove the charge, or to retract or apologize. "Law 3. The survivor of a fatal duel must be acquitted if the duel was fair ly conducted according to the time honored provisions ut the code of hem- "Law 6. Any man who kills another in a fair light shall not lie found guilty either of murder or manslaugh ter, biit must be acquitted, even though he be the sole aggressor. "Law 7. The He direct and certain other well known opprobrious epithets which constitute moral insult nre each equal to n blow, and any of them Jus- tines an assault. "Law fi. In prosecution for stealing hones, cattle or hogs, the presumption of innocence is shifted In favor of the lire stock, and the accused Is •timed-to be guilty. "law 9. In all civil suits by natural persons against corporations the de fendant corporation is presumed to be liable, and can establish want of lia bility only by a clear and decided pre ponderance of evidence. "Law 10. In every action by em ployee against employer for personal Injury the plaintiff shall rccuver dam nn;es unless the defendant employer proves want of liability beyond a rea sonable doubt; and. In all such cases, il,e measure of damages shall be the pitiful condition of the plaintiff, the sympathy of the jury and the ability of the employer to pay." Ur. Roman's address consisted largely of the ordinary diatribe nsalntt lynching and other forms of lawlessness. He said, among other things; "The ludlcated remedy. Is necessari ly legal, and It is the first duty of American lawyers to discover and ail- ply the remedy." In the view of the law Journal the remedy Is not primarily legol. This clever burlesque code is based uimn and finds Its point In jury abuses. The "Unwritten Law" springs from the cir cumstance that the jury will not ac cept and follow the law as declared by the court. The remedy, therefore. Hr, in an appeal to public opinion, find il Is desirable that our brethren ■ the secular press circulate and com- { meat upon Mr. Kernan's formulation of the "Unwritten Law,” which, face tious .aa It may seem In the abstract is only slightly, If at all, exaggerated as an expression of actual Jury practices. THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION FOR ATLANTA Weeka ago when the Armory-Auditorium was a young and undevel oped enterprise, The Georgian urged its one df the strongest reasons for its completion the opportunity that It would give us to Invite the next national convention of the Democratic party to Atlanta. We note with pleasure that our esteemed contemporary of The Con stltutlon Indorsed on Sunday (his practical suggestion amf commits Itself to the advocacy of the plan. With this reinforcement. The Georgian renews the suggestion made In October, and submits to the people or Atlanta that It la a practical and hopeful proposition to secure ttie next national Democratic conven tlon for this capital city of the solid South. There la no sound reason that can be mentioned by thinking men why Atlanta should not have the next national Democratic convention as its guest. There are a score or reasons why the invitation of Atlanta should be and doubtless will be accepted it properly presented and prop erly urged. First of all reasons Is the fact that the solid South has tor a quar ter of a century given to the Democratic party more* than two-thirds of the votes which twice elected Orover Cleveland president • of the United States-and which have sustained with unbroken fidelity and loyalty , every Democratic candidate who has been nominated since' that time. The South ha* a right to ask at least the small recognition of having the coriventlon. if It has nothibg else, as a recompense for the heroic loyalty which has been nearly all that exists of the Democratic party for the last three decades. In the last election, if the votes of the solid South had been omitted rrom tbe returns It is doubtful if Judge Parker' would have had a half dozen votes In the electoral college. Surely up committee and no section of the republic would begrudge to the South this first request of n formal kind that It has made of a party to which It has contributed life and fidelity and the dignity of numbers. First of all, then, tbe city of Atlanta ai.a distinct center and metrop olis of tbe New South, has a right to ask and receive this favor at the hands of the national Democratic committee. In the second place, If Is high time that the South was progressing toward a proper and speedy recognition of Its claims upon the Demo cratic parly. Ever since the war we have been content to furnish the votes and to permit the fragmentary states to the north of us to gobble the candidates aud the offices of at least ten consecutive campaigns. The time has come when the simple matter of policy demands that the South now should be duly recognized In the honors and expressions of the great party which It has sustained almost alone and single handed. Another reason why this convention should meet in Atlanta t» In the fact that It would mark n progressive step toward the nomination of a Southern mail for tho presidency of the United 8tntcs. For ten years or more we have been hemming and hawing over this proportion In the South. Always anxious to make a nomination, ulways ready with abun dantly capable material, but always afraid In bur half-hearted confidence, nf the effect of such a nomination upon the people of the country. The cowardly fear that tbe old Bectionai spirit Is not dead In the North has' hami>ered and handicapped us In doing what ought to have been done long ago, and what can bo at least begun at this time by holding the convention In a leading city ot the solid South. For our own part we believe upon something better than a basil of desire, that the holding of this convention In the south, or that the nomination of n Southern ninn for the presidency, would strengthen rath er than weaken the Democratic national ticket with the people of the North. * We say it to our own regret and mortification that the masses ot the Northern iieoplc are really more fraternal and more kindly disposed to ward the people of tbe South than our people are toward their brethren of the Xorth. Tbe writer of these lines has mingled with the Northern people for the last 13 years with a degree of frequency and Intimacy en joyed by perhaps not more than one 6r two men south of the Ohio river. He has had abundant opportunity to observe and to study the spirit and the temper nf these people toward the South both collectively and In an Individual way nnd he does not hesitate now and here to express tho opinion that the Northern p-ople nre simply waiting for an opportunity like tills to declare that the. have forgotten the civil war and that they are delighted to recognize tho South ns n full and equal sebtlou of tbe republic. It Is perhaps true thut the selfish politician and the designing leader might find, and would find, a basis of criticism in a Southern candidate or a Southern location for the convention, but we are willing to stake every atom of reputation which we have established for good Judgment within this decade upon the fact that tbe great ma«s of the Northern people would respond loyally and generously to this spirit foe a complete oblit eration of sectionalism In the republic. We register here and now the belief, and trust to time for its vindi cation, Hint the first Southern man nominated utioii the Democratic tick et will poll more votes in the North than any other Democrat has {Killed since the second election of Grovel- Cleveland. We register heye nnd now the conviction that so far from weakening a Southern man would strengthen the next Democratic ticket and would multiply the chances of Its triumph at the polls. We people who live within our own sectional limits and whose touch with other sections is limited to the large cities and a few- 1 promi nent Individuals in those cities, can form no conception of the Immense cordiality and good will which is felt by the Northern masses toward the South. Every lecturer on the American platform will bear testi mony to the fact that Southern men are receiving upon every platform In America a welcome whose heartiness Is actually doubled by the fact that they come from the South. General Gordon gave glowing liilmtc tu this fact. Tillman is reaping n harvest from it now. A Southern nativity or residence has become an actual asaet to an aspirant for lycciim honors in the country. Beyond this, our public men who have spoken in the North upon special and national occasions have ulways come home amazed and delighted with the heartinesa of the wel come nnd the glow of the hospitality which has been extended to them. Wc simply know that the Northern people would welcome an oppor tunity to express their own national spirit and to unify the republic upon this first opportunity which has been extended to them. Wherefore, as a first step toward tbe practical assertion ot our unity and equality with the rest of the country, The Georgian heartily urges an Immediate organization to secure the next national convention for Atlan ta, ami we believe that if we take the Initiative in this matter and pre sent tile first Invitation, that we shall aurely win this greatest of all conventions aud that we will give a swift and imperial impulse toward a subsequent nomination aud election of a Southern man to tile first office In the republic. We sincerely trust that our esteemed conteiii|K>rarles throughout the country without factions opposition will recognize Atlanta's first bid and Invitation tor this great assembly, and will give their loyal and hearty co-operatlou to this central and important Southern metropolis.

Coghlan took the wheel of the nivy tug Powhatan on Saturday night in a hurry rather than see a heavy railroad car float send the army ami navy to join McGfnty. Aboard the Powhatan, In addition to the admiral, were Mrs. Coghlan, Major General and Mrs. Frederick Dent Grant, Lieutenant Colonel G. P. Scrlven and Lieutenant Colonel H. C. Carbaugh, two of General Grant’s staff, Mr*. Scrlven and ftevera! of the admiral’s etaff and their wives. The party was returning from the army and navy football game at Philadelphia. Admiral Coghlan directed Skipper Hennessy’s attention to a heavy car afloat coming up from the direction of pier 4; Xorth river, and bearing rapidly down on them. ‘Jam your helm hard over thero, skipper,” cried the admiral a few min utes later, when, after a conversation, he again looked out Into the channel and saw the heavier vessel less than twice hi* craft's length and coming ut full speed. Instead of replying, the skipper re leased hts'grlp on the steering wheel and fell In a faint upon the floor. • “Hell! something's got to be done here, and quick,” said Admiral Coghlan, jumping to hi* feet and grasping the wheel. The admiral jammed his helm hard over and a string of orders were sung down the speaking tube to the engineer that made him act quickly. Hardly had the admiral ceased speaking when bump threw the passengers off their feet. The other vessel hit them square ly abaft midships abreast of the engine. Except for the port scars the Pow hatan wa* apparently ship shape. The tug landed her passengerti at the navy yard. The Powhatan will be put In dry dock tot repairs. ROOSEVELT i gossipi OLD CHIEF MAY BE FREED TO DIE IN OWN WIGWAM Suffering with lung trouble and weak He accomplished much good among his from long confinement, Salomon Ho- tema, a full-blooded Indian, chief- of a Choctaw tribe and an ordained min ister, Is now In the United States pen itentiary in South Atlanta, upder a life sentence for killing three other Indians vhlle under an hallucination. His case has been brought to the attention of the Atlanta ministers and a move ment was started Monday to secure his pardon from President Roosevelt, that he might go home and die among hie people. A committee, composed of Rev. Charles O. Jones, president of the At lanta Ministers’ Evangelical Associa tion, chairman; Rev. T. P. Cleveland, Revs. Purser. Christian and Smith, was appointed Monday to secure the serv ices of two distinguished and compe tent physicians to examine, the convict, and together with this report send such names ns may be necessary to the president. In presenting tbe matter to the meet. Ing Dr. Holderby said that he had been instructed by the Presbyterian home board to ask the Atlanta ministers to take some action. In relating the his tory of the case, he said: “Hotema Is a full-blooded Indian and an ex-minister. People with whom I have talked tell me that ho Is a power ful speaker and a very eloquent man. as confined In tp£ Atlanta prison when that Institution was open ed some five or six years ago. While preaching among his people In Inidan Territory* he lost very suddenly three his children. He conceived the Idea that certain neighbors had in some way worked witchcraft and conjured his lit tle ones. While laboring under this inherent notion he took a shotgun and w#nt over and killed three of them. For this he wait tried and sentenced to hang. Upon a petition, the president commuted the sentence to life impris onment. He Is not egptoeted to live much longer and wants to go home to die In the, bojom of his family. He is - model prisoner and a trusty.” It Is understood that the officials at the penitentiary have a great dedl of faith In Solomon, and that he Is allowed great liberties. It was said that keys or The Institution could be trusted to- him with no fear that he would violate (he confidence. ' He is quoted as 1 saying that he would not leave the place /or a minute unless he rs regularly discharged. The consent of the jurymeji on hi case has been assured, and It xvas said at the ministers’ meeting Monday that the petition would, be signed :by the judge who imposed the sentence. The movement will be participated In by the officials at tHfc Atlanta prison. SET FOR TUESDAY A. M. Osburn, aged 35 years, a car penter and brickmason.

In Tbe Georgian of last Saturday was printed a list of public service cor porations doing business In Fulton county and the amount of’tax due by each to tho county for physical and franchise valuations. The Georgia railroad did not appear In the list and inquiries have been made as to why the omission was made. A suit against the Georgia railroad is now pending In the Federal court be fore Judge Newman. . The Georgia claims exemption from such taxes under Its churter, and At torney General Hart is making a test of It in the courts. The case has been argued before Judge Newman, but he has not rendered his decision yet. Un til that suit Is decided no levy on either the physical or franchise valua tion ot the road can be made by the comptroller general. If Judge Newman decides that the Georgia Is liable for this tax under its charter a considerable amount will come to Fulton county. Purposes a Return of All Insurance Money. CORTELYOU KICKS; SO DOES BLISS President Peels That Ad ministration Has Been Tainted by Certain Contributions. • Washington, Dec. 3.—Before he re tires from office President Roosevelt Intends to have returned to the policy holders the money contributed to the Republican national committee In 1904 by the Equitable Life, the Mutual Life and the New York Life insurance com panies. The aggregate of their contributions, made out of the “yellow dog” funds of the companies, was $148,000. The fact that he was elected with the use of money taken from the policyholders of these companies has nettled the presi dent for months. He feels that It has placed a taint upon his administration, os well as upon his public career, and he means to have the stain wiped out. Offictrs are Obstinate. It leaked out for the first time today that the president has taken steps to have the money returned, and that this would have been done long ago but for the obstinacy of Postmaster General Corteiyou and Cornelius W. Bliss, of New York. It Is known positively that President Roosevelt sent for both Mr. Corteiyou and Mr. Bliss several months ago and directed them to pay back with Interest whatever sums the Mutual. Equitable and New York Life contributed to the campaign fund. He was met with a polite, but firm, refusal. President Insists. He Insisted that the money should be refunded, and asked how mu money remained to the credit of tho national committee. He was told that the total was slightly In excess jf $400,000, and he replied that It was a shame, the money belonging |o the policyholder* of the three companies had not been returned. Mr. Corteiyou and Mi\ Bliss, however, refused abso lutely to back down from the position they assumed. President Roosevelt waved all their arguments aside. He declared that the proposition was a simple one. Money wa* taken from officers of the company which they had no right to give away, as it belonged to other people. This being the case, the only honorable course open wrts to give back money to Its real owners. Fails to Carry Point. The Interviews—-It Is said there were several of them—terminated without President Roosevelt being able to carry his point, but It Is known that he is as determined as ever that the money shall be restored to the companies.
