To Exterminate the Crime it Must
Be Made Odious and Shameful.
WANTS PRISONERS ARMED
To Protect Themselves and Counties
to lie Responsible for the Crime,
Subject to an Indemnity
Mob law- was severely condemned by
Governor Atkinson in his message to the
Georgia Legislature. The messagt
bristled w ith a scorching and sensation
al attack upon the lawless spirit that
fosters the lynch law in Georgia. He
fays that to exterminate the practice of
lynching, the crime must be made odi
ous and shameful. He advoeater. strin
gent legislation against the mobs, and
insists that the Legislature pass a law
laying every county wherein such a
crime is committed subject to a large
indemnity to the relatives of the mob's
victim.
The Northern lynchers are spoken of
oy tne tioveruor. Of this he says: "It
is no excuse to say that the Northern
people, who have less to provoke them
to it, lynch. Let us not take them aa
a standard; but rather show a higher
type of civilization in our State, and
erect Uere a standard to which they
may aspire. '
Ihe Governor is iu favor of arming
the prisoners and allow ing them to pro
tect uiemseives Iroiu mobs. He says:
"The arresting officer i now clothed
wiui auinoruy 10 la lie a prisoner
110m ins custody, and, it is his duty
to take life, if necessary, to pro
tect the prisoner and retain him in
custody. This he should be required
to do at the hazard of his own life, or
me prisoner should be unshackled,
armed and given an opportunity to de
fend himself. The knowledge on the
part of the mob that this w ould be done
w ould deter it from pursuing its lawless
purpose, aud the law would be per
nutted to protect the innocent and
punish the guilty. "

President Depew's opinion that the
disaster on the New York Central F.ail
road was the result of a dynamite explo
sion planned by enemies of the corpor
ation finds many upholders among rail
road officials and citizens familiar with
ihe conditions. "If the embankment of
the railroad was torn no by dynamite,
the motive of those -who did it was not
robbery, but revenge. " was the state
ment made by one official of the road.

Some Sent to the Penitentiary, Others
Fined and Sentenced to the Chain
Gang. The most remarkable car robbery
:ase on record in the South came to au
end last week at talton, Ga., iu tho
Superior Court, Judge Alonzo Fite
presiding. During the past three
weeks eighteen robbers, charged with
systematically looting cars on the
southern Railway, extending over
a eriod of live years, have bee;i
tried aud found iruilty. The ring
leader, Walter L'ohannon, was
convicted ia five cases, and was sen
tenced by the court to ten years in the
penitentiary. His gang, Tom llinne
mau, Ren Rearce, Sam Paiuter, Lute
W hite. iiill Long and Ed Morris, tha
latter colored, received sentences from
three years to ouo year. Jim Harris,
the member 0 the gaug who turned
away, was net sentenced, and it is
probable that uuder the recommenda
tion of the superintendent of the rail
road, he will be released, or his sen
tence will be very light.
The merchants convicted of receivit.-
stolen goods from the robbers are as
follows, all prominent in business and
social circies in Dalton and north
Georgia: G. M. Cannon. T. P. J.
Peeoles. J H. Render. Anderson Gid-
oens, CleeCombee, it. W. lloran,

Roberts and Jesse Laugston.
Ihe court eenteaced all these mer
chants to pay fines ranging according
iug to their ability to pay, from Sl.ooj
Uowu to 52 i, and one year on the chain
gang, the latter sentenced to be sus
pended on payment of the fines and
costs. On account of the robberies, of
which these suits were the result, the
southern Railway seems to have 1 aid
damages to consignors amounting to
510,000 during the live years tho gau
were making their depredations.

Seventeen miles south of Home. Italv,

and bibulous suggestion. A tavern 1-t a

Wherrt Paul's friends came to meet htm:
namely, the Thro Taverns. In vain I
search ancient geography for some aatis
fyin account of that village. Two roads
cam from tho sen coat to that pla -e: the
One from Actium and tlie other from Pule
oil, the last road being the one wlii -h Paul
traveled. There were, no doubt, ia that
Village houses of merchandise mid me
chanics shops and professional oftlces. bur
nothing is known of tl.em. All we know of
that village is that it Im 1 a profti-bm of
inns-tho Thren Taverns. Paul li 1 not
choose any one of these taverns as the
place to iiieet his friends. Ho eiTtahil v
was very abstemious, but thev ma le the
selection, lie had enlarged about keeping
the body under, though once lie pres Tit.e.l
for a young theologi -al student a stimu
lating cordial fur a stoma mi di s..r I t;
but he told him to take only a small d .se
"a little wine for thv stomach's sake."
One of the. worst things about these
Three Taverns was that they ha 1 espe.-ial
temptation for those who ha I just come
ashore. People who had just landed at
Actium or Puteoll were soon tempt.-1 r y
these three hotels, which were only a little
way up from tho beach. Those" who nr..
disordered of the sea (for it is a physical
disorganlzer), iiiste.-i 1 of waiting f r tin
gradual return of pliy.-i'al e ji, (poise, are
apt to tike artitlelal 'means to l.r.i .-e up.
Of th-? one million sailors now on the s.-a,
how few of them coming ashore will escape
the Three Taverns! Aft -r surviving hurr'
canes, cyclone. Icebergs, collisions, many
of them are wrecked in harhor. , 1 warrant
that if a calculation were nii). of tho ..en-
Jiarative number of sailors lost at sea an 1
ost asihore, those drun iieit bv the crimson
wave of dissipation would far outnumber
those drowned by the salt wa'er.
Alas! that the large majority of those who
godowuto the sea In ships should have
twice to pass the Three Taverns, namely:
Before they K) out and after thev come in.
That fact was what aroused Pat lier Tavl.u-,
the grent sailors' preacher, at the Sailors''
Bethel, Boston, and at 11 public miting ut
Cliarlestown h said, "All the machln.'i v of
the drunkard-making, soul-destroying
business is in perfect running order, from
the low grog holes on the .l.v-Us, fcP,,t open

that we can't stop it, but that we won't
s'op it." V must have more generations
slain before the world will fully wake im to
the evil. That which tempted the travel,
ers of old who came 11 n from the seai...rts
of Actium und Puteoll Is new tlie mm .i

Three Taverns.

comes to its last Three Taverns for the
sale of Intoxicants. Now there are so many
of them that statistics are only a more or
less accurate guess as to their numlier.
We sit with half-closed eves and undls
turbe.J n. rve.s and hear that In lsVJ in the
I nit.-d St it-s there were l'.litt breweries,
4110 distilleri.-s. and 171,t;:! retail dealers,
and thnt pos iblv by this time these figures
may be tni'hfuily doubled. The fact is
that these estal.lishn ts are Innumerable,
and tho discussion fs always dishearten
ing, and tlie imnresdonjs abroad that the
plague is so imgnr.y an'.i universal It cai
never Do cure j, ami tue fuosX oi .sermons

Lamentations, aud not with tho Book ot
Bovelations. l"x.-use ne from adopting
any sucli i'llldel theory. The Bibto reiter
ates it until I'l-ro Is no more twwer
in inspiration to make it plainer
that tho earth is to be, not half,
or three-quarters, but wholly . re

triumphant stand and join in the cho

Dno of the nio.st advantageous move
ments In the right direo-tion is taking this
whole sub j.-ef Into tho e lueatlou of th
young. Oa the sumo school-desk with tin
grata, nnr, the geography, the arithmetic
are books telling the lads and lasses of ten
an 1 twelve and lllteon years of age what
are the physiological effects of strong
drink, what it does with tlio tissue of the
liver and the v.-ntrl.-l-s of tho brain: and
whereas other generations did not realize
tlieevil until thejr own bodies were blasted,
wearo to have a generation taught what
the viner Is before it stings them, what th
hyena is before it r'-nds them, how deep Is
the aby-s before it swallows them. Ohl
boards i f education, 'tca-hcrs In schools,
professors in colleges. Legislature, and
Congresses, wi ten and augment that work,
and you hasten the complete overthrow of
this evil.
It will go d wi. I have the word of Al
mighty liod for that in the assured extirpa

the universal vl-tory? The liquor saloons
will drop from the hundreds of thousand
into the s.r-of thousands, and then from
tne thousands intotho hundreds, and then
from the hundreds into the tens, and from
the tens to Three. The first of then last
