PREACHES ON LYNCHING. Rev. Howard Cree Declares Mob Violence Does Not Prevent Crime Or Check It. Augusta, October 28.-Rev. How ard T. Cree. pastor of the First Christian church, preached an able and eloquent sermon on lynching, his theme being: "The Worth of the Law and the Infidelity of the Mob Spirit." In the course of his re marks Mr. Cree referred to the re cent lynchings in Georgia and also the able charge of Judge H. C. Ham mond to the grand jury on last Mon day morning. Mr. Cree declared that lie had been where the negro had been burned at the stake. he knew of the vile crimes for which they were sumniarilv dealt with. he is a democrat and knew something of the nature of the negro, be had defended the south and south ern sentiment in the universities of the north. and therefore felt that he was privileged to speak before those he loved. "One phase is paramount just how," he declared. "It is the negro and the crime-the negro and the punishment-the negro and lynching. Those who take the law in their hands say, and too often justly, that the iw can be criticised. They say it ii .oo slow and imperfect of ad mir.,1ration. It is human law, and like ali 1hings human, is faulty, has its imi.er'ct features. Yet the best way t- coriect the defects of the bad law, to secure its repeal, is to enforce it. Execution of the laws mean, the exposure of the defects and rectifi cation by a fair and impartial people. Courts are slow and justice some times miscarries, yet justice must be slow and deliberate to safeguard the interetstc of all. "A disregard of law is infidelity. I can use no stronger term. 'It is in fidelity to the sacred past. Tradition al inheritance is to be treasured, not trodden under foot. We are debt ors. It should not be squandered. It is infid,ity to our fathers who se cured it to us at no little cost. They died for the principles it represencs. Law is the crystallized expression of their best efforts at civilization and progress in the past. "The recent lynching at Statesboro was infidelity to the officers of th,at county and the state. Georgia will not soon live down this record. Our escutcheon has been stained. It is our shame. "Lynching has every mark of reck lessness and none of sanity. It does not prevent crime; it does not even check it. It begets a spirit of law lessness in ourselves, it spreads to the community and is handed down to posterity. Individual redress is barbaric and wholly out of keeping with moderh civilization." Hester's Cotton Report.

Te New Subway. New York. October 27.-"City hall to Harlem in 15 minutes" became a reality vesterday when the main ar tery of Manhattan's great subway system was opened to the public. The opening exercises held in city hall yesterday afternoon were attended by invited guests. Mayor McClellan presided and addresses were made by Chief Enzineer William Barclay Par sons. Rapid Transit Commissioners A. E. Orr and John H. Starin. Con tractor John B. McDonald and Au gust belmont. president of the opera ting company. Following the 'exercises a special train left city hall for the One Hun dred and Forty-fifth street terminus carrying invited guests. The mayor turned .on the current and the trip was made without event. The actual opening of the subway to the traveling public took place last night. Long before 7 o'clock when the first train was scheduled to leave city hall. the park -surrounding the hall was jammed with a good natured crowd. Thousands of persons fought with one another for the privilege of purchasing the first ticket. Flying wedges, center rushes and almost every means of progress known in football tactics were adopted by those ambitious to ride upon the first train. Squads of police were stationed at the entrances and they were compelled to meet the onward rushes with sim ilar formations. The Altman Trial. Waycross, Go., October 28-All the testimony in the trial of Eillary and Charles Altman was in before the ad journment of Charlton superior court at Folkston yesterday afternoon and today will be taken up in the hear ing of the arguments. Two negro witnesses for the state were postive in their testimony that Hillary Altman killed Jackson Dun can and Charley Altman killed the negro. Jim Riley. The killing was committed in the doorway of the smoking compart ment of the negro coach. There were several witnesses to the row, but none could say who committed the murder. WV. M. Duncan, father of the mur dered man, testified that his son in formed him just before he. died that Hillary Altman had killed him. An other witness stated that the dying man had stated that "Altman killed me.'' Other white witnesses who were present testified that they were pres ent at the time of Jackson Duncan's death and they believed him to be un conscious and did not hear him speak. Some of the testimony was to the effect that a negro named Andrew Rory was in the aisle on the negro coach just five minutes before the killing of Duncan, and that he was brandishing a knife and making threats. The defense will be that Duncan might have been killed by Rory. The Lyceum Course. The Deseret News, Salt Lake City. It is not, however, on account of the drama that the people turned out so well last night. Nor is it what interests us now. It is rather, and solely, the artistic genius that read the lines. His voice was perfect, and he rendered the several parts as if in dl:fferent personalties. Unlike most voices, even of those who are famous for their public speaking, there was nothing in Mr.Clark's voice that might offend the niost sen sitive. One never tires of hearing lit: there is something extremely rest ful in it. Moreover, only such a NOTICE!

Ve cannot help remarking here, by way of parenthesis, upon the real ad vantages of such a recital as was given last night over even the best stage presentations. In this dramatic recital of "Ulysses." there was noth ing to distract the attention from the thought and feeling of the play, and every line, moreover, was read by a master. So the audience were able to follow, in imagination, the wander ings of Ulysses. They were able to see the dreamlike inactivity upon the island. tle descent through hel. the rousing cf his marvelous powers to avenge himself upon the ignoble herd of suitors to his wife Penelope, the humiliating scene at his own hearth. all these were realized in a wav that only imagination can know. On the whole, therefore, those who heard this great reading will never forget the impressions made upon them by the genius of the author and the genius of the interpreter. Last year 1,069,000 harvesting ma chines were sold in the United States. and of this number 225,000 were binders. They went to every wheat-producing country in the world. for the sun never sets on American farm machines. But most of them are being used in the United States. Our agricultural expansion has followed the path of farm ma chines. He-Hello, Miss Pert! Looking for something to draw? Can I be of any assistance to you? She-well, you might pose for me, if you don't mind. My drawing mas ter told me to choose something sim ple, you know. Six hundred and thirty seven mil lion bushels of wheat is our aver age wheat crop, one-fifth the world's output-enough wheat, made into bread, to provide one and one-third loaves for every inhabitant of the United States daily for a year; enough wheat. made into loaves a foot long, to girdle the earth. When the transformation of cities by electric power and light is com pleted. we may expect the air to be practically as pure as. that of the country. It is estimated that the carbonic acid exhaled yearly by the people of New York city is about 450,000 tons, but there this is less than 3 per cent, of that from fuel combus tion. THE LADIES favor painting their* churches, and therefore wye urge every minister to remember we give a liber al quantity of the Longman & Mar tinez paint toward the painting. Don't pay $1.5 a gallon for Lin seed Oil (worth 6o cents) which you do when you buy other paints in a can with a paint label on it. 8 and 6 make 14. therefore when you want fourteen gallons of paint, buy only eight of L. & M. and mix six gallons of pure linseed oil with it, and thus get paint at less than $1.20 per gallon. Many houses are well painted'with four gallor. - f L. & M. and three gal lons of linseed oil mixed therewith. These celebrated paints are sold by the Newberry Hardware Co.
