I'uhlic Sentiment to Blame.
The first political change of the
year in ltemocratic circle of conse-ipieii.-e
was the defeat yesterday of
.l.nlge Shaw for renomi nation, llr
Itiggs was nominated on the lirst bal
lot to succeed him. Tlie result is
i , ..'retted by many, but is surprising
lo few. Judge Shaw is what is com
monly known as a "hard" judge,
stern' in his decisions and relentles
in In judgments, lie i also said to
have Uvn unpopular with some of
Ihe lawyers who did not like his way
of running court. Charlotte Chron
icle. Judge Shaw ha been retired lie
cause a mawkish public sentiment
has divreed immunity to criminals.
We hear a good deal about the courts
not giving justice and about the law
yers getting criminals off from pun
ishment. IVoes anybody 9ilpMise
there would be so much laxity and
immunity from punishment if there
were not behind it a public sentiment
on which the court and the lawyers
eould rely? Here is Judge Shaw try
ing to enforce the law and the sov
ereign voters turn in and put him
out the very lirst opportunity they
have! Jurie are fair representative
of dominant public sentiment, and
yet it is rare that a jury ha the back
bone to titand up and do ita duty in
a capital case.
Itut, it may be added, if this is true,
why is it that there is no much mob
violence? The answer is plain. Mob
are dominated by the tough element,
who, under the immunity received
from the presence of a few so-called
good men who go along from one
motive or another, commit a crime
against law and order, not because
public sentiment demands it, but be
cause they know that public senti
nient will shield them in the crime
they are committing. If your "good
man" desire to see criminals dealt
with severely, why doesn't he say so
when serving on the jury?

The intimation of intimidation in the
following, from the Messenger and

On Sunday, June 3, Messrs. llenrv

evidence in the Johnson lynching
cases, passed through Wadeslmro

their buggy and were going in the

No one paid much attention to the
fact that Mr. Kendall had left home
as he was not considered in any dan
ger) until Monday, when Mrs. Ken
lall 'phoned person in town that he
had gone away and that she did not
know whether she would ever see
him again or not.
Mr. Kendall, the Messenger and

in Burnsville township as late as Sun

Christian Work.
Ha.il. A-tii.
Theix' is much misconception
and visionary thinking retraniinn;
Christian work. What is Chris
tian work? Many sie;h and say,
''Oh. that I could do some Chris
tian work!" To them it is jroinir
its a missionary, or preachinjj
from the pulpit, or tencliinjr in
Sunday school, or talking to sin
ners about their salvation. AH
this is truly Christian work, irreat
and jrWious work, liut that ih
by no means all. Christian work
is anything which in auy way
contributes to the glory of (!od,
to the building up of the kingdom
of Christ, to the salvation and
development of men and women.
w hich is done for that purpose.
There is no Christian who has
not both the ability and the op
portunity to do Christian work.
Serving faithfully for Christ's
sake an employer, being helpful
and kind at home, nursing the
sick, saving encouraging words
to discouraguilunes, inviting some
one to church, Sunday school or
prayer meeting, shaking kind
words alwut your neighlmr, all
this is Christian work.
