Lynching is becoming very common
•over the country, and it is just as common
for men who are lacking iu prudence and
discretion to engage in it.
Sam Small’s Third party may very

to be an insignificant affair in politics.

be among those who send up wishes for
good results.
If you wouid have good laws and a
just administration of them, c-xerciso your
privilege at the ballot box by voting for
men well qualified for office. Do this, oi
forever thereafter hold your peace.
The Journal does not mean to dictate
in such matters, but it is Crawford’s time
to name the Senator for the 23rd Senato¬
rial district, and other counties of the
district should certainly accord her that
right.
Senators Ingalls and Yorheie have re¬
cently made things somewhat lively in the
U. S. Senate. Vorhees liuiltd such epi¬
thets as “liar,” “dirty dog” and “infamous
scoundrel” at bis assailaut, who replied iu
language equally as bitter.
It is the part of wisdom to put good
men in office ; and it is disgusting to hear
people complain of the laws of the country
and the administration of them when such
is the direct result of the votes of those
who are making the most complaint.
A Large number of Georgia counties,
■with'li the past lew days, held mass meet¬
ings, and declared their stand iu reference
to the Cleveland administration and na¬
tional governmental policy. So far, there
arc no signs of difference and everything is
moving in the right direction.
“All sorts of people, with all sorts of
ways and tastes, make up the population
of Chicago. One John 0. Davidson ap¬
peared the other day before a judge of that
city to ask for a divorce from his wife on
the ground that “she had not spoken to
him for three years and a half”—not eyen
to in ike a requisition for a new hat. The
judge properly refused the application,”
The above, taken from the Atlanta
Evening Journal, brings before the public
a remarkable kind of a man. The world,
and especially the courts of the country,
experience many kinds of complaints, but
this one can be properly placed on a string
W itself.
Xw« Ways of Looking at It,
The Fort Valley Mirror puts it thus.:
“The Grand jury of Crawford county
at its late session, recommended that Foe
county Commissioners take steps Against
the A. & F. railroad for tresspassing en
the public reads. Judging from the opin¬
ion generally entertained of the public
r-'ads in this part of the country, the
-damages would hardly amount to enough
.to pay for the trouble. Cue would sup¬
pose that the citizens of Crawford would
readily turn the public road—when neces
saiy—to give the right of way to such a
grand improvement as a railroad would
be. Speaking for the people of Crawford
—whom we know—we would say that
such a recommendation is not approved by
the majority of them. All paits of the
“face of the earth” want railroads, and yet
almost everywhere, they are “spoken
against, and evil entreated/’
The Journal dees not join issue with
its friend, ike Mirror, in wliai w contained
in the-foregoing, but-in all kindness sug¬
gests that- because the A. & F. railroad is
a grand improvement and the fact that it
passes through Crawford county should
not close the months of our grand jurors,
neither should such things cause our county
•Commissionsrf to ueglect their duties in the
premises.
Some people know more ala.tit even
other person’s business than their own.
Many communities have their walking
newspapers.
On Monday uight of iast week the house
of Mr Bryan, at Raleigh, Meriwether
coonty, was entered and a trunk tnkeu
from it. After the trunk was carried a
short- distance from the house, it was
broken open and the contents which con
Sistrd of tobacco, a pistol, and $25 or $30
in money, were taken therefrom and the
trunk loft. As soon as the news was
made known to Officers Moreland and
Jarrell they went to work and soon ar
rested the supposed guilty parties, w-lio
wt, were Henry Williams and Bill Parkliam,
i. («„ mcwi k. r ;,«
that Fan;.barn was in very feeble health,
deputised three other men to help guard
the prisoners all night, and to give him
( f >
men tho next morning. V htle Moreland
was eating supper a party of fifteen
twenty men came up, well armed, and
took ihe prisoners from the guards. p On
seun „ .i.,: the. crowd I,. the alarm , was given, • an , 1
as Mureland started out of his bouse he
was covered with two shot guns in the
bands of two masked won, so bo said.
The prisoners were taken toward Cane
creek and were seen no mine till next
morning. Ti e body of Parkham was
found in the swamp, uear where the rail¬
road crosses the creek, in a badly mangled
condition. His head and face were badly
beaten up, and his feet and legs were badly
burned. In a gully not far from where
the body was found were coal and ashes,
and one side of the gully was perfectly
smooth, as though some one had been
dragged up and down the embankment.
It s supposed by all who saw it that the
lynchers dragged Park ham up and down
the embankment until they were satisfied,
and took him to tho bank of the creek,
where they' left him. Williams hasn’t
been seen since, anil it is not known
whether he escaped, cr what became of
him..— Sao. Morning News.
Lynching may be excusable in certain
extreme cases, but iu the one presented
above it was wrong in to to, and deserves
nothing better than condemnation. One
violation of the law is bad enough without
adding to it another offense of graver char¬
acter. Two wrongs never made a right.
On the 20th of last month the South
did homage to her honored dead who
underwent privation and suffering and
even i ied in behalf of principles dear to
them. The North will pay like tribute
this month to those who fought and fell iu
the late war for what they deemed right.
The Georgia Democratic Convention
will meet next Wednesday. In their pri¬
mary meetings the people of tho State have
endorsed the President’s message to Con¬
gress givng his views on the tariff ques¬
tion. It is more than probable that there
will be no discord in the Convention.
A man who offers himself for office
ought; to be satisfied beforehand that he is
■competent to discharge the duties of the
•office. It k contemptible for a man <to un¬
dertake to do something that kt four or ten
times as large as his capacity. It is the
best policy to-keep out of deep water when
you can’t swim.
Let all who are eying out for -tax as¬
sessors return ell of their property at a
fair valuation, and thereby influence their
neighbors to come up to the right iu this
particular, and see whether there will he
so great a need for assessors. “All prop¬
erty” embraces more than land.
