SPIRIT OF GOOD ORDER
SWEEPING OVER STATE
STOLE A RAILROAD;
NOT HIGH FINANCE,
Perhaps It was because he was the
thirteenth and last negro called up,
perhaps It was for fear of corporate
power, that Lewis Johnson, a negro,
became rash In city court Friday
morning and pleaded guilty to "steal
ing a railroad." For this enormous
crime he received a fine of 360 from
Judge Calhoun or a sentence of eleven
months.
The negro was arrested by Lleuten
ant Dunbar for stealing a light from
the Western and Atlantic railroad.
Judge Calhoun asked him what he had
to say.
"Why. Your Honor." said Johnson,
trembling with fright, "I guess I'll
have to plead guilty to simple larceny
of a railroad."
Judge Calhoun Informed the prison
er he was pot charged with taking a
whole railroad, In fact he didn't see
how he could make away with a rail
road without being discovered. 8o
only a small One took the place of the
big sentence that the prisoner fully
expected.
Thirteen men were allowed to plead
before Judge Calhoun Friday. Court
Is not In session, but Judge Calhoun
said he wanted to let as many men as
possible out of Jnll to enjoy the Christ
mas holidays. Light floes were Im
posed In all the cases tried.

A spirit which promises for all time
to supplant the mob spirit la now
sweeping over Georgia. When plana
now being made in several of Geor
gia’s cities are - fully matured, such
scenes as were enacted In Atlanta lost
fall will be rare Indeed.
This spirit Is the spirit of law and
order. It Is not that more people are
being converted to this Idea. It Is
merely that the great mass of Georgia
people who always have been In favor
of law and order againat that of mob
law Is organising.
Ex-Governor VV. J. Northen, presi
dent of the Business Men's Gospel Un
ion of Atlanta, tha( organlatton which
was Instrumental In organising the
Christian League, has Just returned to
Atlanta, after a trip over the state In
the Interest of the law and order move
ment and the report he makes of the
conditions existing In the cities he hat
visited shows that. the teovenjent u
spreading with great rapidity. '
It shows that the law and order ele
ment In Georgia—and that element
among both races Is a large one—Is or.
ganlitng. In every city Governor Nor.
then visited he found that the ministers
of both races were In hearty sympathy
with the movement and In addition the
Christian organisations of buslnesa men
were willing to heartily co-operate.
Extend to Other Cities.
In Atlanta the Christian League («
directed by the Buslnesa Men's Gos
pel Union, of which Governor Northen
Is prosldent, and In it ore law-abiding
members of both races. It was not to
extend this same organisation to other
cities that Governor Northen visited
other places in Georgia. He pointed
out to every audience he had that all
that was wanted was co-operation In
the movement and organisation In the
vnrlous cities. as the local conditions
warranted.
In Macon, Columbus, Augusta, Spar,
tn and Rome, Governor Northen found
that the*pcople were tn hearty aympn
thy with the movement started In At
lanta by the Business Men's Gospel Un-
Ion and In each of those cities plans

are being matured for a similar organ
ization to the one In Atlanta.
In Columbus, such men as Rev. Dr.
Ashby- Jones, of the First Baptist
church, and such business men as Hon.
Gunby Jordan and F. B. Gordon are
In the movement, and now have a law
and order organization In dcflnlte
shape. They are co-operating with the
law and order element among the ne
groes and the organization promises
to become a strong one.
8trong in Macon.
The same Is true In Macon, where
the Evangelical Alliance, an organ!
xatlon composed of the mlnlstera of all
denominations In the city has taken the
matter up and has invited the colored
ministers of Macon to meet with the
white mlnlstera and co-operate In the
movement for a better understanding
between the races and for law end or
der. Prominent business men, too, such
ns Frank Mallory, president of the
Business Men's Christian League, are
In the movement, and It promises to be
as successful as the one In Atlanta.
In Augusta the movement Is headed
by the. ministers of that city led by
Rev. Dr. Melton, of the Baptist denom
ination, and Rev. Dr. Plunkett, of the
Presbyterians Governor Northen also
visited Sparta, Ills old home, and prom
inent men of that town Joined heartily
In the movement. Among them are
John Walker, the well-known banker:
Judge Little, of the county court, and
Professor Mali Duggan, superintendent
of the county school system.
"No locality," Governor Northen told
these leading people. In the various cit
ies, "Is protected from riot, lynching
and bloodshed, as tong as public senti
ment tolerates deflance of the law.
May Happen Any Time.
"A race riot auch as occurred in At
lanta Is liable to occur In any city In
Georgia unless the law and order ele
ment Is organised and the best people
of the community -are thoroughly or
ganised against It. This movement Is
In favor of the guilty of both races
being punished, but punished accord
ing to law. A race riot Is not premed
itated. It la likely to happen any tlma.
One chance ahot may preclpltata dis
order that It would require a regiment
of soldiers to quell.
“And the only way to prevent such a
state of affaire occurring Is for the law
and order element to organize. Law-
abiding people must protect themselves
against the tendencies toward the de
fiance of the law. A better under
standing between the races must be
established and the better classes
among both race* are coming to this
conclusion.”
In many instances Governor Northen
Was told by citizens that certainly they
were for law and order. But In every
case they admitted their sentiment was
useless unless the other best citizens
of the place were organized with them
and on record In favor of Inw and order
and a better understanding between
the races.
The result of Governor Northen’s
talks In the several cities he has vis
ited has been that widespread Interest
in the movement has been caused and
the Indications are that within n short
time organizations with this object aa
their aim will be all over the state.
