(wetting XblDgs OH the Baricnin t'ouoter.
In oar churches last Sunday morning it
may have been thai long winded prayer*
Bailed high up In the air, without special
appeal wauvuiiwcu ouj |mui m?v
ner's feeble effort to do the right.
It may be that do petition went' up to the
Throne of Grace, asking for tbat wisdom and
tbat guidance which Is necessary to restrain
the heart and to Keep the mind from sinning.
It may be that the Good Lord and Fattier
of us all, was uot petitioned to Inspire the
blacks with the will aud the manhood to restrain
their passions and to control their
aotlona lu such a way as to matte tbelr conduct
conform the usages of good society
while recognizing or obeying the divine law.
It may be tbat the Giver of every good ana
perfect gift was not, asked to 60 control the
passions of the whites that they might
not offend either the human or the divine
law In the existing race prejudice.
It may be tbat the Groat Head of the
^ Church was not petitioned to send peace ol
mind and seourlty of person to all those who
may be In any way distressed in mind or
body.
It may be tbat the visiting brethren, or
even wayward sons, were not speoifloallj
welcomed Into the Banctuary which had been
erected aDd dedicated to the worship of Him
s who first loved us, aDd made all of us belrt
to an inheritance in value beyond price lu
gold.
It may be that no poor, weak, struggling
heart, received encouragement to greater
effort or greater strength In striving lor tht
mastery over the sins or the weaknesseswblch
so often overcome the besltfforls.
But it would be safe to quggest that the
rightous were tbankful for everything thai
could be enumerated, with the assurance 01
Intimation on their part tbat all the otbei
good things which might remain on
the bargain counter would be accepted by us
I with thanks,?without desiring or offering to
yield any sort of acceptable service. And
as usual, it may have been tbat the re
quests were all of the Lord, witb
sever an Intimation tbat we would pray tot
' purer hearts and cleaner bands, or that wr
desire to become more profitable servants ol
Him frcm whom procetdeth every blessing.
.
Is This Time of Peace or War?
Crime seems to be abroad In the laDd. aDd
the dally papeis are filled with the slcktenlng
details. Murder and lynching do longtr
seem to sbock the public conscience. A larg?
part ol the distressed condition of the ooudtry
la due to race prejudice, and that prejudice
Is too often appealed to by speakers and
newspapers.
. In this State, we sometimes see Governor
' Hey ward's name mentioned In eflorts to restrain
Infuriated mobs. It occurs to us if tbt
Governor, lDstead of trying to suppress tb<
natural instinct of gentlemen in punishing
assaulters of women, would issue an address
to the criminal cIssb that be might do
some good.
Thin npwsr>nn?r. without haloe able to
prove specifically tbe fact, believes that tbe
Governor and those newspapers which protest
so much against lyncblngs, are mlsun
deretood by negroes. W?? think that negroes
believe that tbe Governor and tbe newspapers,
are trying to Bbteld tbem fr m tbe
penalty of their crimes. And their conduct
/ , In desiring a trial In court seems In the mind
, of negroes to minify tbe enormity of tbe
crime of assault.
Of course neither the Governor nor any
newspaper Intends to make any such false
Impression, but we think tbe negro should be
lmpiessed as much with the enormity of bis
orlins arbe is with that of tbe mob wblcb
seeks vengeance.
There Is no need for all this violence, aDd
no ltlend of either race should stir up strife
Tbe races have lived together profitably and
peaceably for a long time and tbere Is no
good reason why tbe advantageous relations
should Dot continue to exist. We need tbe
negroes and they need us.
We have bad enougb of disturbance. We
bave enougb of animosity and distrust. We
j&V. want peace. And let us sll rest awhile. Let
negroes do nothing to excite 111 feeling, and
let white men do nothing to lnjuri tbem.
We do not know if tbe pulpits of eltbe
race bave done anything to bring about tbe
mucb desired peace and barmony between

Some mighty good people In Atlanta are
proposing to close the barrooms in that
city.
The aame kind of mighty good people Id
South Carolina during the last campaign
Joined with the lloense people In the effort
to opeD bars aa against the dispensary.
The people of Atlanta will never have prohibition.
Bat the people of Soath Carolina may have
license.
if, now, the real friends of temperanoe desire
to promote temperance and rednoe the
evil of intemperance, let them send for the
dispensary law of South Carolina.
From the standpoint of a temperance advoV
. cate and a total abstainer from the use of all
Intoxicants, the dispensary law, as South 1
Carolina has It, will come nearer giving satisfaction
than any other law. Und~r it we '
have absolute prohibition from sunset to sun>

I
Mr. Martin of Donalds bad on tils face a
cancerous gore, which physlcians.call Iupub (
?. Dr. Hill of Abbevlle cut It: out and the belief t
now la that Mr. Martin will soon be well.
Dr. Hill baa aucb a lot of surgical instruments f
and such a great quanlty of eye glasses a* 1
would fit every de:nand we suggested that be
advertise lb em. He brought out old "ethics" *
as a barrier to such a course. He says that
advertising Is contrary to the ethics of the
medical profession. When we bear that ex- g
presalon aa a reason for keeping a good thing
secret from suffering humanity the suspicion
comes to our mind that the members of a
profession which would prevent a physician c
from advertising good eye glasses may know
I less 01 pnysic man or ethics. Bat Dr. Hill's t
j eye-glasses need no advertising. The only
advertising that is necessary 1b to let tbe
people know that be bas tbem to lit every
eye, and be bas tbe skill and tbe will to act <
Id tbe best Interest of those wbo need bi? k
services. We can very well understand bow ?

that ordinary laborers expect pay at not 1<sb

''PassM"snd "Pntroller's."
In Senator Tillman's speech In Augusta
last Saturday night, he nrged tbe paBsport
system of tome of tbe despotic countries, where
a man going from one place to another ^
should be arreBted if be did not carrr with g
him a pass issued by one of bis neighbors.
The Idea of carrying a pass is not likely to
become popular in tbe south, however good I
tbe plan may be. Tbe idea of "panes" and
"patrollers" Is not pleasing to contemplate.

JUIn Death Not a Mystery.
After reading the following we think yon
will agree with us that the death of Geo'ge
Washington was not a mystery. The Utlca
Observer says:
"Clement K. Shorter, an English writer of
more or less distinction, surprised everybody
last week by printing In a London newspaper
an article In which he ssserted there wa* a
mvsiery snrrouudlng the death ofGen George
Washington shout which Americans heelts'ed
to talk. If there be a mystery we 6hoald
like to know what It is.
"George Washington caught, cold when riding
over his plantation at Monnt Vernon on
the afternoon of Dec. 12, 1799. Forty-eight
hours later be died.
"He wss attended by tbreeof the best pbyslolnnsofibit
part of the country. He was
Me.J no less "than three times to relieve a sore
throat, and he was dosed with calomel enough
to deprive a beallhv man of bis life. But
what is ihe m.Tsten? ?
EnMghtened physicians frequently assert
'bat Gen. Washington was killed, tha't be
whs b'ed to death and p"i?'one<1 with calomel
Tohlss Lear, his secretary, says that after the
doctor bad bled to tbe extent of half a p'nt
Washington int<rrnpf'd with tbe remark,
"The gash Is not ble enough; make It. wider."
And the blely trfll"?-fl professional idiot proceeded
to do so. hor? yonr throat feel any
better?' asked tbe le?rned leecb. 'It'a very
sore.' mnrmnred Washington. When tbe
second physician arrived Mrs. Washington
tried to stay hi? murderous hand hy protesting
that *lbeGen<r?l was too old a man to
stand much b'eedin^r 'Ye?, yes,' said the
mighty doctor NumberTwo. 'I'll beoautloas
' ? kl,.n.l lot (In ?
"And then he nroce?ded straight to rob
ht?conntry'H Father of a full pint of llfe'a
most precious fluid. When 'be ibird physician
bad come he rolled his eyes solemnly
and said: 'I will bleed him.' 'We both
t^d that,' said the o-ber doctors. 'Yea. I
know,' anrtnuryed theconsulting sag**, 'but If
blood-leitlng cW>es not. relieve him I must Increase
the dnse of calomel.' After tbe third
blood-letting? 'n which we are not surprised
to learn that WashinK'on's arm yielded Ita
life-fluid morealowly than It bad before?the
sore throat continued, In eplte of tbe last consulting
doctor, and when hl? wearied body
failed to respond to a heroic overdose of
calomel the two consulting physicians retired
and left Washington to die. I* tbere any
mystery Id his death ?

Rape Pronounced the Worst Crime
i
Known to the Law and the Guilty
Must Be Brought to Punishment.
"Tbere Is no crime known tn law equal la
turpitude to rape." declared Judge Jobn T.
Pendleton, of Fulton oounty, Id bis charge to
IUC (l?uu JUIJ Wl> UJUIUIUf. JJUIUCL MUU
treuaoD are not balf bo demoralizing as this
orlme, and It is yoar duty to bring every energy
to bear to nunlsh tbe gallty and protect
tbe lnnooent."
Tbe occasion of Jugde Pendleton's second
charge to tbegrand Jury was the startling
Dumber of ssnaults and attempted assaults
on white women by negroes during the past
few weeks and the tragi* culmination lo
bloody rl"t last Saturday night.
Judge Pendleton's charge In part was as
follows: . ^ S
"Two sad pictures have been witnessed in
this city durlDK the past few days. One la a
picture of white women engaged In the performance
of th-lr dome-tlo duties, surrounded
by tbelr families and llvlne in peace and
happiness, attacked and assaulted and wellnit;h
beaten to death by black brutes attempting
to satisfy tbelr luat. That Is a aad
picture. 40
"The other is a companion picture. A
great city, great in wetltb and great In courage.
great In everything that goes to make op
a great oily, witnesses a lawless mob In tta
streets, seeking and murdering innocent peo*
pie. That dlso is a sad picture.
"It is your duty now to investigate these
disorders. It has been charged that many
assaults with Intent to rape have been made.
There Is no orlme known to law equal Id
turpitude to rape. Murder and treason are
not half so demoralizing and It is your duty
to punish tne guilty and proteot the lnnooent.
Qnlch PanlHhtnent
"Punishment serves two purpose;?to make
tbe guilty suffer, and to proteot the innocent
by preventing a repetition of orlme.
"This olty last Saturday night waa the
scene of a reckless and lawless mob that dlagraces
tbe whole community. It, disgraces
you, It disgraces tbe oourt, and whosoever
duty It was to enforce tbe law la dlsgraoed before
tbe civllzed world.
"A mob in lis fiast analysis Is anarchy, it la
always anaroby. It has been said that under
certain conditions mob law is Justifiable. It
Is never Justifiable under any conditions lor
It Is never founded upon oorract principle*
and seldom upon correct sentiment. Tbat
bob bad no more regard for tbe virtue and
MPniAAilnn r\f tahltA inAman (Hon Wnn hoH Ct\l\
you were not in it. 1 refuse to believe tbal
tbe good people of thin olty have been remlM
In tbelr duty, bave been <1erollct In homing
down and punishing tbe criminal and that a
mob bad to discbarge tbat duty for tbem.
"Assaults are tbe oocaalon and not tbe
cause of mobs. Mobs do not act from a noble
sentiment to protect, but from a desire to destroy
and wreak vengence on wbom tbey
please,
City on Trial.
"This city Is on trial before tbe world, and
your safety and the safely of this city depends
udod tbe result.'It Is your duty to proclaim
tbat such a scene will never again be witnessed
Hcd thai tbe guilty shall be punished.
"It Is your doty to Investigate this matter
thoroughly. It Is your duty to be in session
for weeks and amomblf necessary. Do not
besatUfled with the examination of one or a
half-dozen witness that some officer may
bring Ip unless you are thoroughly convinced
of tbe course you should take. If a ball-dozen
witnesses will not suffice. perhaps a hundred
will, but thorough and complete Investigation
Is absolutely necessary.
'There Is no favoritism in tbe grand Jury
box, report any person guilty of violating
law and doyour duty regttrdlessof conscquences
aud l(ei it strike where It will."
