II Wednesday, Aug. 24, 1904. ? b i< The Buriiine: of ?i;rocs at Slateibnro. o The recent action of the mob at .Statesboro (1 In Georgia, has justly received widespread 11 condemnation. a The facts are that a family of white persons had been murdered in the night time, and n their bodies were burned in the destruction ^ of their home. Two negroes were promptly n convicted in the court and sentenced to hang k in three weeks. 11 The excitement had been erreat, and militia c< had been sent to protect the negroes from 11 lynching. The militia, which deserves the 0 condemnation of the world, allowed the mob a; to take from them the prisoners after tbey tl had been convicted by the court. The mill SI tla certainly made no adequate, if aDy effort at all, to protect the prisoners or to rescue them from the murderous mob. The soldiers who were detailed to protect the prisoners and who surrendered them de- fr serve to be court martlaled. n The leader aDd others of the murderous tl mob deserve to be brought into court to an- al swer for their crime. t>< It was cold blooded and inexcusable mur- ai der. w There is no use of the newspapers appealing ll to a mob rf men who rely upon their number ? for exemption from accountability for the'.! w act. Conscious of their unlawful act a mob c< must necessarily be timid In the face of the V regularly constituted authority of the gov ? ernmentto which they owe allegiance. A t< mob is not oiily a coward, but the sens* cl OI justice Uf JUfc UUPfU t, it ic* UUCI, xx tvnaiu Is always cruel to those lu his power. Merc} cl is never found for the weak, except in the " hearts of the courageous, who dare to do th( b right, even when the Inclination is for tbtgratiflcation of feeling or the exercise of re *< venge. d< Tne overpowered individual has no d rights which the mob may respect. And (S the mob never attacks the strong and th<- H powerful. The assassin, who strikes in se- lX{ cret from ambush may strike a blow when b? S1 thinks his identity may not be discovered. 0 But the mob strikes the weak. It is the Governor, the sheriff, the militia, " and the courts that should protect our homes 11 from assault and make us secure against tl the mob, which attacks our castles in tin a darkness or murders the weak and defense- P' less. l? No man is safe as long as the rights o; B the weakest aiid the humblest may be dlsre- w garded and trampled under foot. V( If the (Jnvptinr nr other Stnte nftinprn would bring Into court every member of the mob 11 at Statesboro a wholesome lesson would br taught and we would bear no more of mobs rtl at Statesboro. lJ If the courts were hb prompt to convict the members of the mob as they were to convict the negroes, the country would not again be shocked by so inexcusable and so horrible a crime as that of the recent lynchJng. u' As well sing Psalms to a dead horse br to 111 preach to the mob. The real blame rests with an efficient execution, or lack enforce ment, of the law. The mob as a rule has ver.\ little character and very little money. Thej are hard to reach, except under the criminal law. But the State officers are more pretentlousand are more directly accountabl* ol to the people than are the members ol the 01 mob. The mob should account to the officerh ? and the officers should recognize their duty w to the people, whose offices they hold. It is ol the militia the Governor and other officers iD that have brought disgrace to Georgia. Ji the persons who composed the Statesboro mob had had reason to believe In the effi clencv of the mllltla aDd the fidelity of the civil authorities that mob would not have been organized. But having neither h l!i proper conception of the duties of the good ot citizen nor respect for the county offlcerc they committed their crime in contempt tl ofthe officers whom they believed had noi n< the courage to bring them to justice. w "" n< His LxtPNt and K?'St Achievement. Supervisor Nlckles, went out last Monday to 11 receive from the contractors the great Iron hi bridge which now spans i,itt!e River at a point near Davis's bridge and which is in n< tended to take the place of that old and w troublesome crossing. in A new public highway has been opened for ui quite a distance. The road is shorter anil er more level than the old one, and the bridgi Is placed at such an altitude above the bi stream, that we expect to bear of no more perplexity in crossing the river at that place. The road is first class and the bridge could not be better. Captain Nlckles has done much good work. ?u and much that is permanent, but Dendy's n| b ridge and Davis's bridge are at the bead ol ir his road Improvements. di tc tH To the Exposition. Mr. R. E. Hill, our popular and able Probat? 11 Judge, who ban been In Saint L,ouis for a "l month Is borne again, after having spent a month In the exposition city. He gives 111 glowing accounts of the exposition and tbe educational benefits to be derived from going 'f to Saint Louis. He thinks ten or fifteen days ns is as much time as the visitor would gener s> a.ly want He was accompanied back by his daughter cc Miss Malmie Hill, who has been In Arizona 10 for more than a year, teaching in the public !l( Bcbool. Tbe opportunity was a good one for lor seeing tbe great show. We hope Judge Hill or Miss Hill may write something of tbe show for the Press and Banner. ol -- Who's That. Wlten one answers a call at tbe phone it Is unnecessary to ask "who's that." The caller should simply state his wishes. If he wants ? any service at the office, say so. If he wants to speak to anybody, say so. 5 There Is at least one member of the TreBs ^ and Banner family who has about , quit m answering i he calls at the phone for tbe sim. la pie reason that be does not like to answer so re unnecessary a question as, "who's that?" b, Why can't a man at the phone be sensible ? e: w railing Into I.iuc. a' That good old paper the Keowee Courier is determined to keep up with the times.

And so the world wags on. lu n ttle while, however, the preacher and the >acher will be at home.

During the vacation our people have been c jber and vigilant. Their adversary, the * evil, who Is supposed to be walking about , aily like a roaring lion, basn't roared a s'.n- c le roar.
