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."

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

voice as his cculd make so real the
characters and their words, and ren
der it possible for the audience to
see as well as hear; for the imagina
tion supplied everything in the way
of scenery.
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.
