Since the death of her husband Mrs.

Governor OTerrall' Anti-LynchlBg
Pro-
In a message to the Virginia -iegisla
4
ture, Governor O'Ferrall has recom
mended radical legislative measures
directed against lynching.- He proposes
that any county ;; in which a -lynching
occurs shall be f equired to pay $200 for
each thousand of its . poplation, ' the
money to go into the treasury- of - the
public schools; and " that sheriffs .'and
deputies shall ba deprived of office if
proven guilty of negligence, and made
liable on their official bonds in action
fpr damages by the heirs of theVicfjm.
On the other hand, the Governor would
punish rape and kindred crimes by
death, and give indictments for 'such
offenses precedence over all other"" cases
on the dockets. He' is convinced that
such legislation would - tend to prevent
lynching,' and a number of newspapers
cordially approve of his uggesjions.-
Ihe Chicago Inter Ocean 6ays: "It will
b well if the barbarians who roast men
alive, .."and ; who tdrture '- them' by
nameless f mutilations, are forced to
contribute toward tHe education of the
next generation in a higher civilization.
Tberpeculiar. merit of this proposition
is that it does not require proof of the
guilt of any person- 'eminent citizen1
or. otherwise participating in the
murder. " si The fact of a lynching in a
county of j.U,UUU souls is sufficient to
cause it to be taxed in the sum of $2,
000, and ipi a county -with. 1C0.OOO
people the smart money paid for enjoy
ment of the pleasing spectacle of- 'a
nigger lynching'; will be t $20,000.
When counties are made to pay thus
they , will fce less tolerant of the murder
ous pastimes of the 'eminent citizens."'
There was a terrible scene in a
Baltimore theatre last Friday , night.
Cries of fire were heard when escaping gas

2V500 people rose en masse and made a
rush for the exit. : Men, ; women' and
children, crazed by fear, struggled in
the aisle and stairways in an effort to
reach the street. Twenty-three people
were killed outright. 1'en injured were
taken to the ciy hospitaland others
were taken to their homes. It i3
thought that several of the wounded
will die" Only fourteen of the dead
were indentified at a late - hour last
night. Most;oithe audience were Poles

what every . ne knew 4 in advance, the
bargain made with the Populista. The
Republicans have paid a big price for

There is no question- they would have

ance. . The Democrats, who outnumber
the Populists Bix to one, are given eleven

it seems that the half has "not been
told of Judge Robinson's bad' conduct
on the bench. The Franklin (Macon
county) Press says that his behavior at
the: courts of Jackson, Macon, Clay,
Cherokee and Graham counties was- verv
bad but that it was not a circumstance
to his conduct at Swain court. There,
the Press is informed, he 'flatly dis
puted the word 01 lawyers and called
them liars and swore profane oaths
While sitting"1 on -the bench in open
court. His abuse of Sheriff Roane at '
Macn court was disgusting arid a.
shame, and we also learn that the Same
was the caso in ' adjourning counties.
Not only this, but witnesses were scolded
and railed at and Demeaned in a very
rude and uncivil manner." Also: the
harmless citizen who happened-to enter
. .i r,-? .ti l
the court room wnn creaaing snoea was
scolded and -abused as though lie was
guilty of some mean, low, degrading
offense. The judge left this part of the
pircuit without any friends among the
the lawyers and hia conduct disgusted
people so much that they' want no
more fusion judges around this circuit
unless they behave better than this
one." - - " - .."
In addition to all this,- Webster's
Weekly la informed and says the.etate
ment can tie proved that liobinson
not only stuffed cotton in his ears while
Mr. Kope Elias was speaking , to the
jury at Graham court but that - he de
nounced Mr.; Elias from the bench as a
"damned fool."
The Cherokee Scout, published at
MurDhv. also Tias this to say of this
fool's doinpes: ":
' "We cannot refrain from saying that
after Judge Robinson's conduct while
holdipg court at Murphy, we would not
be surprised at anything be did or
Said. Every man in Cherokee county
who was in attendance, at our last bit
perior court will read the above with
keen relish. Judge Robinson threat
ened to send two or ' three men to jail
because1 they happened to have od
vpaiv pf creaking shoes and walked
aeross tb room. told one man,
who walked across the room and took
a seat near a window, "that he wished
hehadkmped out of it." Such lan-
fuage as this from a-judge while Oh the
ench in very undignified to say the
least of it. AVe were told by a lawyer
here who was present at Graham' court
tliat Judge Robinson's conduct at Gra
ham a? reported in; the papers, is true
in every particular. - There is no use for
Judge Robinson to attempt to apologize
out of it. he should resign 'and lay aside
the judicial ermine, that he has so
sbamefullydisgraeed.." j I ;
- Again, the Raleigh News and Obser?
yer his this incident which' is "said to
have happened in Jlobinsou's court:
"Did I understand your honor to
charge; thus and so?" asked Captain
Cooper at Swain .court, while Judge
Robinson was presiding. - :
Judge Robinson replied : "Anybody
that has ever seen a law book, or
eveKseen anybody that has gyer seen a

1 JBIg Christmas Trd. . .
Atlanta Journal. .,
- The Journal is glad to see in its ex
changes from all parts of 'Georgia re
ports of very brisk business during the
holidays. In Atlanta the Christmas
trade was the largest the city-haa ever
known and we have similar reports
from other Georgia cities and . towns.
The calamity howlers have been, trying
fo convince the people of this state that
tfiey are in a deplorable condition and
that; every year hnds them poorer.
The people do not believe such ttuff
for the simple reason that ' they knew
their condition better than the calamity
bowlera do. " - ;
' Jt is am ad-nitted fact that during the
two years of severe financial : distress
which passed over -this country the
South stood the strain better and suf
fered less, than aby other part of the
country. Consequently when the re
cuperation began the .South - was in
better position than any other part of
the country , to take up the onward
march.-That she has" done and her
prospects are beautiful. Settlers , and
capital are coming (to he? and the next
few years will witness the rnost rapid
development in her history. P :
The people of the South not only
practiced . economy, during the hard
times, but made better use- of their
pnergies - and opportunities, iney
planted more corn, raised more hogs
and became more independent of the
granaries and stock yards of the West.
They wisely reduced their cotton acreage
this year and consequently got a paying
price for their cotton.
--We have stated often, and we repeat
now, that the farmers of the South are
in better condition1 than they have
known since 1860. This is- the expla
nation of the fine Christmas trade over
which our Georgia exchanges are rejoic
ing. .
The fight is now on for the annul
ment of the lease of the N. C. R. R. to
the Southern. Attorney - General Oa
borne has decided to make application
to the supreme' "court for the purpose of
bringing suit to' test the legality of the
lease. Mr. Osborne does not consider
the lease illegal but bringai the matter to
a test in his own name in behalf of the
Fanners Alliance. '
