"Give him a Winchester, ready for action, and a brace of good six-shooters like the boys outside have...."

  --The Talladega (Ga.) Reporter makes the novel suggestion that when a jail is assailed by a mob intent upon the life of an inmate and when it is apparent that the mob will reach its victim the culprit be armed for self-defense. Give him a Winchester ready for action and a brace of good six-shooters like the boys outside have, and though they are ten to one against him it will in a measure give him a chance. It is easy enough for men to be brave when they are a hundred armed and free to one empty handed and confined. Let it be known that the man inside is ready to meet them on even one chance to a hundred, and the bravery of the midnight law breaker will soon cool off."
