Where tba carom* Is tbe eagles will be
gathered together. I know them la
mousy there, for it Is a aura sign of
prosperity, when over 400good people
turn out to a lecture and pay r>0 eenta
apiece for It. I wa* called there by the
Lamar Literary t*oclrty, which la an
other sign not ouly fur prosperity, but
of culture sod rriluemrul. A dead ur

Protestor Phillips made an imptsaaiuo
upon mo. The population of Hilt
growing town Is remarkable for ila
high moral atuiulurd There i* not a
saloon l ha re uor did the jug bualnrts
•cora to ba earned on. The commu
nity u •gainst it, and the young men
•re deeply Interested In Improving
their minds and preserving their mor
ale. Another railroad Is rapidly wurk
iug III way there from Habile aod
everybody le looking up Instead or
down. It le a model town. Elllsvllle
is rather north and le another thriving
town. It is an old town with new
clothes on and haa a large trade. You
would hardly believe it, but there are
more goods in one •tore there than In
all the stores to Cartersvtlie, and there
arc several stores of that kiud. They
are double stores and the goods are
piled high up stairs and down. Large
sawmills are at work in the ueiglibjr
hood and hundreds of men employed,
oud ut every station hundreds of bar
rels of turpentine are awaiting ship
ment. The railroad aod the people
•loog the line eeeui to work la harmo
ny aud have uo couflict or litigatioo.
It is a line road and keeps lime like a
clock. I found there tome old friends
from Bartow county who are engaged
In the lumber business. In fact, 1
never fail to Had Georgians la my
travels, and It pleases me to meet
them, sod pleases them to meet rue
and we getcUnulali as we talk about
the good old Stale. I met an old ne
gro bare at Crockett—old Unole Jake
—who came several miles to see me.
He used to work fur Bill Rainey, of
Home, away back In the 01 Ues, and
came out bere with bis folks just after
the WAT. Rainey kept the livery Sta
ble there for fifty years and everybody
respected him. lie bad a good, gen
tle old tone that a timid lady ouuld
drive and he waa known by them as
old Jake, and did service for thirty
years. That horse waa named lor bit
old negro for he had the caro of bim
for many years. Old Jake la a Demo
crat, the only true, uufllneblnc colored
Democrat In Hus * county. He called
on too at the hotel and It was putbetto
to bear him ask me about bit old
frieods In Rome. As be asked about
one and another all 1 oonld say was:
“lYhyjUuclo Jake, he Is dead long
ago. They are all dead. Almost ev
erybody Is dead but you and I.” He
asked about Harden and Waters and
Tom Prloa aud Wallis Warren and
Colon*] Shorter and Cohen and the
Derrja, tad »e«me<1 surprised that they
were all dead. After be left ms I
went across the town to see a friend,
and had not been there long when
Jake called In. Ho wanted to ax
aboat 8am Stewart, who has been
dead forty years. After s while I
went to see another friend and the old
man followed me there and stayed
until he waa called for sad bad to go
homo. He Is nothing but an old ne
gro, but be Is os true and faithful aa a
a good old dog. Dr. Beasley, of La
Orange, Ga., la a leading physician of
Crocket, and it did him good to meet
mo and talk about beu Hill and the
>nd ****•/• «ud Morgans and
Vi alkera and .Maooos and others. The
doctor Is | scientist in his own way
and showed me an Indian’s skull that
was token from s mound osar by, and
be called my attention to the fact that
the skull bad no seams or saltire* In R.
Tbeno seems are Terr marked la a
white man’s skull hut there are none
In llie Indian’s. They are eery smooth
all over and very thin. I bed never
heard of this dlffereuoe before. Crock
et Is a very thriving and pleasant town
of 3,000 people snd has, they any, Uie
dneet negro oollsgu In the State. It
eost about *50,00(1, and was built with
missionary money of the Northern
Presbyterian church. That Is all right
I reckon. Tno colored part of Uie
doulh Is good missionary ground, and
If their charity dose any good it Is all
right; but I lisvt my donbta. So far
»» Iff* eUlaeusblp Is concerned I
wouldn’t give one good old fashlooed
negro for a hundred o< tlt» new set.
There la a pcoitentlary not far from
hero where several bundled oourlets,
while and Mack, are confined and
U>ey Hava among them some very (Ins
O’*® 1 lnylted by
Apdge Gibson to come dowo to Rusk
and witness Uie rehearsal and I was
■olng but the train was three hoars
rebind time, and 1 missed the oppor
tunity. I am told that liter# Is noth
ing finer la tbe State or In tbo Booth
than the mloiatrel shows that these
oonvtete gat up and people flock there
from ell tile surrounding country, la
closed I send you the urixromine sad
you will tee that It Is A.-a* class la all
respects. Now this la an otyvet lesson
for our people who are wrv»UIng over
Iba eoevlet problem There aiet.MO
ooevicts la Texes. Tbeg are -*11111
half and half, white* and blacks, and
are divided Into tbreo different prisons
They are not leased, but pursue tbeir
trades with prison wells, nobody here
raises a foolish rumpus about tbeir
competing with free labor. The pen
itentiary is self-sapportlac and besides
that the oonvtcts have a chance to re
form. They have preaching and !Juu
day schools and minstrel shews and
other reoreatious to make tbeir lonely
lives endurable. These people think
that confinement and bard labor la
•udloteut punishment for the worst
onniloal* and that juatioe should he
tempered with mercy, sod a oltanoe
given th«cn to reform. I i eg ret that I
did not attend that minstrel show, for
maoy of tboee white convict* expected
me aud were disappointed.
Well, now, you wilt wonder wby
t hare are ao niaoy whites In prison
(about 2,300) while tberu are so few In
Georgia. The explanation Is (bat
U< orgla bu nearly as mauy negroes as
whites In population, while Texas bas
only ons-bfth And Texas ha* to deal
with a hard class Diet Infeat ibe south

whom aie gieascrs from over the

This portion ol (be great State is full
of Georgians-old sod youug—aud

and do aa the Texans do. There are
no class distinction*, no SOU—wo so

Macon, who is now an all-round help

best people and was at Lome with the
utceat girls. I thought of tliat old
couplet:
“Honor and shame (rum no condition

Act wall your part, there ell the

flere at Henderson, Ilia largest town

busy all day receiving them. This
region Is very much like upper Geor

pecan trees Innoad of hickory nuts iu
the bottom* Everybody Is cracking
pecans now. It Is as common lo the

drummers. The law prohibits cards
even for amuse meut and so dominoi
has horn substituted, for they are
bound to play something to while away
tho time. They remlud ms of the

The New Vork World bus an edito
rial with the heading, “Grime's Ap
palling ltecord.” The man who wrote
tho editorial must have been fresh
from a gUucC over the forms of that
morning's Insne. It aaks:
“What 1* the meaning of the “epi
demic of crime’ whleh has broken uut
In an many parts of the oountty?”
It means a harvest of deednets and
Ultli and rottenness for yellow Journal
ism. The WojUI itself coins money
out of this “epidemic." It spins oat
the horrible stones of murder and out
rage and lyocblogs, top" them with
"scare" headlines and elaborate* them
with fake Illustrations. It wallows In
sensationalism, and then. In Its edi
torials, bolds up its hands In horror
ovrr the havoc it Is helping to create.
It professes apprehension and eooeeru
for tho condition of affairs. This rot
ten moralist proceeds to express Its
alarm after this fashion:
“In Chicago the prevalence of rob
bery has suggested the organisation of
a vigilance committee. In St. heals
tho inability of tits police lo prevent
ths rrrriaent “hold-ups” and assaults
has led to the suggestion that highway
robliery shall be made a capital offence.
In other cities of the West ths situa
tion U toarely lea* alarming.
“What doe* It mean? Theeonntry
is at peso* nod fairly prosperous
What Is the cans*, what Is the provo
cation for this outbreak ? Are we re
trograding as a nation? Is It only
municipal government which falls to
perform its function*? The reoord of
the nival district* la nearly as bad a*
thnt of ths cities."
And It winds up by asking, “Above
«ll wbat 1* the remedy?"
Clean Journalism would aid greatly.
A sage remarked when the daily news
paper waa la Ite Infancy, that “noth
ing bat a newspaper can drop the asm*
thought Into 10,000 minds at the mine
Instant." Now ono modern newspa
per drops Its thought luto 1O0.000
minds, aye. Into half a million minds,

Soma of toe ao-called "reform” pa
per* and organ* of tbe court houeo
rings la this State have been greatly
rejoicing and gloating with rouoh glee,
that It waa tlie cartesaneea of a Demo
cratic Legislature that rendered .void
end Invalid tbe Stanly eeunty bond* as
recently decided by our Supreme Court.
So many mu of grcM negligeocn, If
not fraud, were committed by our two
"reform” Legislatures that thee* “re
form newspapers were perfectly de
lighted to think that a Domooratio
Legislature had so tMgUgeully passed
a law that the Supreme Court decided
It lo be void. Tbe very idea was a
■weet morsel to roll under tbelr
tongue*, and bow mortifying sod dis
appointing to them It moat now be to
And out that they cannot eojoy even
thli crumb of comfort!
Yet, tbe (rath la that It waa not the
negligence of a Democratic Legisla
ture that Vitiated tbe 8Unly oonnty
bounds I
What are tbe facts?
Tbe plaintiiri complaint. In the
case decided by tbe Supreme Court,
alleged that lliase bonds (Issued !>y
Stanly county to build a railroad) are
invalid and void, beoause tbe act of
the Legislature authorising tbelr issue
"had not pawed three separate read
ings In the House of Representatives
on three different days, and tbs yoaa
and naya were not entered upon the
Journal of the Iloose of Representa
tives.”
Now, what Uoow of Representa
tives was this? And when waa ibis
sec passed? I
It was tbe Legislature of 1887, and
tbe act wm ratified on tbe 3rd day of
Uarcli, 1887, sad la chapter 183 of the
pabllc laws of 1887.
Who controlled and organised that
Houae ol Representatives?
Did tbe Democrats?
No!
Who did? 1
The Republicans and llolr allies
who then called themselves “Inde
pendent*!”
Yes, It cannot be denied that this
Ilona* of Representative* defeated tlie
Ifemocratlc nominees—Hoc. Lee Over-1
man fur Speaker, and Col. John D. I
Cameron for clerk— and elected the
nominees of the Republicans I

Dr. Stoddard explains In advane*
that be expecta to be erlticlaed for this
oourae. but lie does not intend to be
driven from hia purpose. Ua saya that
by running this dancing school annex

from Uru evil* that might coma from
attendance at a publle dancing class,
where tbe membership la restricted
only by the ability to pay tuition, while

Introduced by church members, will be
admitted. The leeaons are to be given
