To Protect Themselves and Counties
to He Responsible for! tho Crime,
Subject to an Indemnity. -
Mob law was seTarely condemned by
Governor Atkinson in his message to the
Georgia Legislature, j The message
bristled with a scorching and sensation
al attack upon the lawless spirit that
fosie-rs tho lynch law in Georgia. He
saj-s that to exterminate the practice of
lynching, the crime must bo made odi
ous and shameful. He advocates strin
gent legislation against; the mobs, and
insists that the Legislature Ipass a Ia
iaying every county wherein such a
crime is committed subject to a larga
indemnity to the relatives of the mob's
victim. j
The Northern lynchers are spoken of
by tho Governor. Of this he says: "I
is no excuse to say that the Northern
people, who have less to provoke them
to it, lynch. Let us not take them as
a standard; but rather 6how a higher
typo of civilization in our State, and
erect here a standard to which they
may aspire. " ( f
1 he Governor is in favor of arming
the prisoners and allowing them to pro
tect themselves from mobs. He says :
' 'The arresting officer i3 now clothed
with authority, to take a prisoner
from his custody, and, it is j his duiy
to tako life, if necessary, to pro
tect the prisoner and retain him in
custody. This he should be required
to do at tho hazard of his own life, or
the- prisoner should be! unshackled,
armed and given an opportunity to do
fend himself. The knowledge on tho
rart of the mcb that this would be done
would deter it from pursuing its lawless
purpose, and tho law would be per
mitted to protect the innocent and
punish the guilty. " I j

THE WORLD'S W. CT. U.
A Very Sensible Circular to the Su-
pervisors of Public Schools.
Dplly Consumption of Cotton Mills Is

for n Rapist.
Ihe State Superintendent of Public
Instruction has issued the following
very sensible circular to the supervia-
ora oi puonc schools in thej various
counties: "I wish to call your atten
tion to a very imrcrtant matter, to-wit:
Ihe employing of assistants in our pub
lic schools. No person should be al
lowed to teach as an assistant in a pub
lic school unless said person has a cer
tificate from the county supervisor. My
attention has been called to some in
stances where the principals were paid
$40 or $50 per month of the public fund
wim tue understanding that the prin
pals were to furnish their assistants.
Ihe assistants selected in theso rnsea
referred to were pupils taken from the
scnooi ana not qualified for the work.
Away with the idea that anybody can
ieaon tue primary children! This is the
most difficult work, and it is a gross m-
illStice to the plii!-'rn tr 1 imnnspd
upon by being placed under the care of
me person vvno can oo secured by tue
principal for the least money. !A case
was reported to me last snrino' where a
principal drew $20 per month of pablio
lunus lor an assistant and hired his as
sistant for $10 or $12. If this be true,
such a man is not fit to be in an v school
room. It is your duty as supervisor to
see that the little ones are not neo-lected
and are not placed in charge of anyone
e-cepi a competent teacher. ee to it
that every man and woman has a certi
ficate before he or she teaches in a pub
1 c school. Where an assistai. t is need
ed, let the committee make a contract
with the assistant in the same manner
as with tho princiral; then wewill have
no unworthy i rincipals making money
on incompetent assistants as in the case
mentioned above. In some of our boun
ties a certificate dies not mean -much,
but be-sure- that the children shall have
tne beueht of what it does mean.

A PERJURY CASE.
at
The Jury In the Achunt Case,
Aiken, Couldn't Agree.
Last week, at Aiken, iu the Court of
General Sessions, the case of the State j
vs. J. W. Achurst was called. This
case is a prosecution for perjury arising
out of the complication of the defunct
Aiken County Loan and Savings Bank.
Ever since this bank suspended busi
ness in 1834 its affairs hav been the
subject of litigation before both State
and United btates courts. The trial
which came before this session was
against the ex-cashier for an alleged
oath in 1893 as to the bank's condition.
The case was fought with great earnest
by opposing counsel, Mr. M. B.Wood
ward representing the State and' Hen
derson Bros, the defence. The trial of
the case consumed two days. After a
deliberation of four hour the jury an-
nounced their inability to agree, where- j
upon ft mistrial was ordered, . 1
