Tbe passage Into the hands or a receiver of Tbe Atlanta Kawa to aa event which calls for considerate and iiot unkindly comment, at our hgbda. . ~ / 0,*: We 'Would be lead than bo neat if we did not say bat there to not - room for tbrde afternoon papers In Atlanta, and (bat from tbe beginning we have indwn this fget, We have realised from the flrat that one of tbe three would Call to prosper, and wa have bullded with all our might from tbe earl teat Issue to make Tbe Oeorgtaa eo good and clean and great a newspaper that lu merits would survive all competition If we bave done Ibis, It Is • matter of grateful happiness to na. but It offers no temptation tot an unworthy rejoicing orer tbe mister- tunes of a lass successful neighbor. Any clilxea of Atlanta,baa a perfect right to establish a ancoesifnl newspaper In Atlanta If he desires to do so. and can make It succeed. It ta e natural and laudable Investment of tba money of a successful business man and however keenly we bave mat such men In competition we hare never bad any feeling leas than friendly toward tbe moneyed Interacts represented In Tba Kawa. And for tbe rest we extend to tba publishers lo tbla hour tbs aa aurauoa of our kindliest consideration, and our beat wishes for the fu ture. Mr. Charles Daniel, tbe manager of The News, has been a diligent and tireless worker. He baa put hla blood and bis brain Into its strug gles for nearly flva yaara. Perhaps of all who bars been connected with that paper he will suffer tbe keenest pang inlte emparressment. Whatever the personal relations between Indlriduala. tba Impersonal editorial “wa" cannot fell to feel for him tbe bumu consideration of sympathy for a strong man who suffers a bitter disappointment. Mr. Daniel la a mao of conspicuous and comprabsnatve ability and no single failure should permanently bait hla success. i For tba capable and faithful staff of Tba News reportorlal, business and mechanical, wbo have dona auch diligent and effective work for year*, we have tba slnewreet sympathy and tba heartiest good wishes that they may each and all land on their teat In some other Held or use fulness After all keeq rivalries are measured, tbe newspaper rank Is at last and should be a fraternity. In wblcjh competition, however strenuous, should End a resting place, and in which tangents of endeavor, however .varying, should 'Hud some epbere of common union and good will. A STREAK OF POISON I One of the obstacles wblcb Southern men working for tbe better ment of the races have to combat la tha reckless and venomoua character of the negro newspapers published In H)e Northern and Western capi tals and sent Southward for wholesale distribution and demoralisation among tbe negroes of tbe South. These papers are literally criminal In Ihe falsehood, tbe abuse end In the venomous appeals which they make tft tbe prejudice and passion of tbe negro. They ara incendiary In tba hlg|ieit degree, and If a while roan should write them anywhere he would doubtless be arrested by the oOelala, and would certainly be thoroughly denounced by every reputable uewepaper In tba republic. And yet these newspapers bearing tbelr message of bitterness and arson and murder are being distributed week by week, lo many cases grat uitously, among tbe rank and Die of tbe uneducated and undisciplined ne groes of the 8outb. The city pf Chicago to au especially foul nest f joqrnallsm. .Tbgra:drg~Ha , te~urT5tir ueffo nCWspApers - publlsbed there whoee names need not lie mentioned, but whoee Issues should be forbidden by law'to come Ihto the South for tbe Incendiary doc- trines that they teach. One of them In particular we bave In mind which both lo cartoon and In red and murderous suggestion, would be Ilka a biasing torch flung Into a magazine. If tbe Inflammable element of tbe negro race was not held in check In tbe South. Now there are people In the South wbo are making an earnest and conscientious effort to solve this great question along high and generous lines of consideration for tbe Inferior race, and there are men who are working knee deep In prejudice and almost overwhelmed with skeptical distrust, to better If imsslble tbe conditions and relations of tbe races. We point these men unhesitatingly to tbla as one of tbe Influences lhit are mocking and destroying their best endeavors. They can never .auccaeiLlu building mi that feeling of. cunfldepcs and good will on the part of 'the‘nCgfo toward tbe white man wblcb they are seeking to es tablish until they put a stop to thtaeeaaeleaa stream of malignant false hood and Incendiary appeal which cornea through the malla. We are prepared to believe that tbe leading negroes of the South In pulpit and In press and In school room should co-operate and doubtless will cooperate with the beat element of tbe Southern race In demand ing the closing of tbe malla to-lbe Incendiary aud murderous publica tions to which w# allude. — We direct tbla matter carerully and earnestly to the attention of the Civic league and the Gospel Union. and.suggest ta them to taka 1m- mediate steps In the postal department and In auch legislation as may be necessary to reinforce It. to cut off this stream of poison that la flowing from tbe black sanctums of tbe North and West Into tba homes of the Southern negro. , has already done great service In many ways to our people, and we .bold blm heartily and extend him an ever ready welcome to tbe metropolis of Dixie. ! s Mr. Page, however, to not ooe wblt fairer And nlore helpful iban Ur. Baker, than whom no more absolutely tranquil and absolutely unbiased "chlel baa aver came amang us takln' notes and ‘faith' to print em.” Mr. Baker comes to study tba race question for bla great periodical, and be eoimas with a mind entirely clear of any previous Impression, ready to re ceive and record tbe actual facta as they ara actually presented to blm. He bee workeo with marvelous detail of rasesreb end Investigation, and baa accumulated and digested a stock of laformatlon about tha trans cendent question and Its recant flaree eruption which mint make blm heaceforward one of the authorities in Northern sanctums upon all the phases of H. • The South has nothing to fear from tha truth In such bands aa these. Wa bars our glories of development and our grappling problems <11 together. Wa have not been' always right or at every crisis Infallible; but wa hare been always honeat, and we have done In most Instances what any brave and honest people on earth would have done. When tbe gun powder element of our population has precipitated an dxploelon. we hare been swift and almost unanimous with our great conservative major ity to restore the reign of taw. We cannot expect to agree with and we surely cannot expect every body to agree with us. We shall doubtless differ with Mime things which will be written by each of these noted Journalists. But we bave every confidence that the burden of the stories which they tell In thetr different lines will be wholesome.' and helpful, and that they will contain many observations from Ihe viewpoint of disinter ested distance, which will be profitable to Ua to read. • We wish these thoughtful observers a pleasant ami profitable stay In Atlanta. “IN TEXAS, DOWN fiY THE RIO GRANDE.” Speaking of Brownsville, Tex., and Ita sudden leap Into tbo limelight through the "shooting up" Incident and the subsequent discharge by President Roosevelt of tbe negro troops Implicated In tbe affair. Collier's for February 2. says: “Brownsville Is most assuredly ‘on the map ' In Texas the dis missal of tha ealorod troops has not created half the stir that It baa In Wasblogton. While tbe president tends messages to congress and In vestigating officers lo Brownsville In rapid succession; while Foraker flashes and Tillman howls, tbe people down on Ihe Klo Grande are calling our attention to their new prosperity. -They note the changes since a certain epic waa written by a soldier gt old Fori Brown. This poem do scribed the methods of the prlnoa of this world, who tired of hla abode, and determined lo start another, on this earth. Uoing down on the Rio Grande, he ^ V f began to put thorns on all of Ihe trees, And mixed up tb« sand with millions of fleas. And scattered tannuilai along all tha roads. Put spikes on the cactus and horns on the toads.' “This libel on a great and good state has been lung In cow camps from San Antonio to Helena. Tbe old apology for Texas—that the state merely tacked water and good society—and the moth-ridden retort that tbe abode of evil souls doth tack no more, are never heard by the modern Texan. One explanation of the riot 1a almost as good aa another In Texas. The rhymester bad hla own suggestion: / " 'The red pepper grows on the banks of the brook. Tbe Mexicans use It In all that they cook. ‘T'v# a hell on the Inalde as wi-U as the out!'” “The modern Texan can afford to smile at such past flippancy. Whether H be Bailey, Brownsville, railway regulation, or the Galveston plan of city government that brings his state Into the light, he knows that Texas la Intereetyig. alert and studious of contemporary life." CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER o Gossips About People and Other Things. By CIIOLLY KMCKBBPtK.KEB. o HAVE THE TEN RAILROADS DONE IT? Tba Uoorgtan Is not In the business of defending the railroads. And. on the other hand, we are not In the buslneu of wantonly run ning them down. When they do wrong we criticise than) with unfailing promptness and all Ihe vigor at our command. For ibis we have from time to time Incurred their displeasure and will doubtless do ao again. When they do right we commend them, and we do not Intend either now or In the future to unjustly defame them or to charge them with things which tbay do not do. It Is stated In our morning contemporary of Thursday that the recent action of ten railroads In Increasing the freight rale on Boutbern Irod 25 per cent will prove a serious blow to the Iron manufacturing induitry here In Atlanta and all over the state and the Booth, and that this apparently uncalled for Increase In the rate on pig Iron will prove the worst blow tbe Iron manufacturing Induitry In the Mouth baa recalrad In years Upon this statement our morning cootemimrary calls tor vigorous action and suggests an Immediate appeal of tbe matter to tha courts. To thta loud eotaplatnl our afternoon contemporary of the same day Joins a vociferous aecond and vlea with Ita morning neighbor In dou ble-barreled protest. If tbe facts maotloned by our contemporaries were correct we would feel that they lustlfled a serious protest and conaldtratlon. But svery dictate of Justice and prudance would suggest that a great newspaper should be sure of Its facts before It proceeds to alarm ilia pub lic or to condemn the agent. The Georgian has taken some pains in Investigate Ihto matter and we have It upon tbe authority of the highest representative In Atlanta of the freight department of tha South's greatest railroad, that there la not one word of truth lu Ihe statement of tn advance of the rates on pig Iron to Atlanta or any other Bout hern point. In vie* of this distinct statement, which to dsflnltely aud authorita tively made, we would suggest to our contemporaries hereafter to make their own Investigations, and unleaa they override the spedfle statement of a definite ofllclal. that It would be well lo go out at once to quiet the alarm they have created and Ihe prejudice they byre arotised. About Georgia and the Georgian TWO NOTABLE VISITORS. Atlanta and the slate are lo be felicitated upon the Interesting pres enr* with them of Walter Page, of The World's Work and Itey Stan- nard Baker, of Tbe American Magaxtne. * Coming with friendly feeling Ad dispassionate Judgment to observe ihe Boulh and lo tell the truth about our problems and our growth, these gentlemen cerry the power and the Inclination In render a service to us and to Ihe country In the better understanding ot our conditions and of the spirit In which our people front the present and tha future. Two fairer and more capable observers are not to be found tn the ranks of the new Journalism than these gentlemen who are welcome guests of Atlanta today. Mr. Page Is of ihe South—a North Carolinian by birth and rearing, gnd an American clllten In aplrit and sympathy. He cannot fall to have the largaal Interest and sympathy for this section, and his mission here Is lo study and record that wonderful advance In things material, educa tional —‘ tical which tn«kes the higher progress of the Ntw South. l'i Whare Dess It Stand?
