Motto for Rome Woman’s club:
—“These are my busy days.”
Did the poet ever write any higher
tribute than this—“ Women is Love?”
The elections and the woman’s
clubs are giving Romans all they can
talk about. *
The Halloween edition of the Au
gusta Herald is only a beautiful dream
to as. We failed to receive a copy of
it.
Our columns are open to contribu
tions from the women. We invite
them to write upon any topic they
may choose.
If we had bald headed Bob Taylor’s
eloquence and bald headed Bob Inger
soll’s vocabulary, we would tell the
ladies how much we thought of them.
Says the Athens Banner: “Mrs.
Marie Louise Myrick is toning up the
gubernatorial candidates by making
pleasant remarks about each of
them.”
The Military edition of the Macon
Telegraph was a very interesting pa
per. Old soldiers in this section
read the reminiscences with a great
deal of interest.
To the legislature: Reduce state
taxes, and build a central state pen
itentiary for manufacturing pur
poses, and thanksgiving dinner will
be a bumper to your good sense.—
Brunswick Advertiser.
There is a strong demand for labor
now says an exchange, in every part
of the country and _tbere is no excuse
for the man who calls at the back
door and asks for- something to eat.
It is a pretty good time to let tramps
hustle for a living or go in want.
We feel sure that if any delegates to
the Georgia Federation of Woman’s
clubs had been in Calphurnia’s place,
Caesar would never have gone to the
senate chamber on that fatal ides of
March. The superior wisdom of a
Georgia woman would have kept him
at home.
Rome And Her Visitors, |
“Welcome to Georgia’s brilliant and
intellectual women I”
The Tribune has said this repeat-
If
edly in its recent issues, and we repeat
it in double leads, and with the most
heartfelt cordiality as they have ar
rived. We arc glad they came and
we hope to make them feel so before
they leave.
To. Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin, the ;
distinguished president of the Na- j
tional Federation of Woman’s clubs, J
and her husband, the Hon. Charles
Henrotin, a most hearty welcome !
Rome is honored by them as few
cities in the south have been. We
wish them a pleasant stay.
During their visit to Rome the
delegates to the Georgia Federation of
Woman’s clubs will see one of the
best cities in Georgia, or anywhere
else. •
The agricultural section which sur
rounds Rome is the richest in the
state. Floyd county captured two
prizes at two great southern exposi
tions for the best exhibit by any
county in Georgia. There were a
large number of competitors. We
have f 3,000,000 invested in manufac
tories with over 2,000 employs who
are paid SBOO,OOO annually. We have
the purest and most abundant sup
ply of water of any city in Georgia.
We have the most extensive and only
bauxite (aluminum, the coming meta]
which will revolutionize the world)
beds on the American continent. In
our streams are found beautiful pearls
which would have gladdened the
heart of any queen of the ancient
Roman empire. In fact, modern
Rome is the mistress of one of the
richest sections of the sunny south.
home may think these statistical
facts out of place, but we are address
ing them to some of the smartest,
most thoughtful and most progressive
women in the south.
Again, We bid the women a most
joyous welcome, and promise to try
to give them anything their hearts
may wish.
Work For Congress,
The coming session of congress, now
a little more than a month off prom
ises to be not only of more than the
average length, but of more than
usual interest.
It is evident that some questions of
great importance will come up. The
republican press seems to be in favor
of annexing both Cuba and Hawaii.
The Washington Star tabulates ques
tions which will come before congress
thusly:
1. The Hawaiian question. That is
a simple question and ought not to
lead to any delay. The sugar trust
program of opposition, however, has
not been outlined and until it is the
friends of annexation will not be able
to complete their program. Annex
ation is certain, but if factious oppo
sition to the treaty necessitates em
ploying legislative means, more time
will be required, though the matter
will be settled in some way .before the
session ends.
2. Cuba. At present the Cuban
question is an executive question. But
no one can tell what a day or month
may bring forth. By the time con
gress meets the cause of the insurgents
may have again become an exciting
one in congressional circles. The gen
eral hope is that before that time
Spain will awake to the necessity of
adopting a far wiser and more just
course than she has up to this time
been pursuing.
3. The currency. Congress will at
least discuss thatquestion. The mOne
tary commission will be heard from,
and its report, together with what
the president in his message and the
secretary of the treasury in his annua]
report may have to say on the sub
ject, will afford a text for an impor
tant congressional debate, even if no
action follows. The Wolcott commis
sion will have returned, and may be
expected to submit through the pres
ident a report of its labors. That
also is likely to lead to a debate of
some length and interest and particu
larly if Great Britain’s attitude, soon
now to be announced, encourages the
calling of an international conference.
4. Immigration. Mr. Cleveland’s
veto of the bill restricting immigration
passed by the fifty-fourth congress
rather increased than diminished in
terest in that subject. It will be
brought up again.
5. “Government by injunction.”
Congress will be asked to consider that
question.
Upon the whole, therefore, dispos
ing of the tariff question at the extra
session was a wise" piece of work.
Congress at the .regular session will
have its hands full.
THE HOME TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1897.
I Stop The Deadly Game,
The Athens Banner in an editorial i
over a column in length on football
among other things says:
The Banner regrets this morning
that its command of the English lan
guage is too limited to do full justice
to the subject of football. We pause
in our search lor words to fully char
acterize this savage and
. sport. In so far as we are able we
| propose to dress it up in suitable ap-
■ parel and bold up its hideous carcass
. to the gaze of the public.
| We desire to say a few plain words
I upon this subject. They may. perhaps,
not be sanctioned by some people; in
fact we do not expect them to be sane
tioned by those who place a smaller
value upon (human life and happiness
than upon a game of sport. We trust
there are none such in Athens, but if
they are we care not what they think
about what we say.
Yesterday afternoon a first-class
display of savagery was seen in At
lanta, such as tarnishes the fair name
of both the great universities repre
sented in the contest. We have never
been in favor of such games, where
brutality steps in and usurps the
athletic development, and the result
of the football contest in Atlanta yes
terday fully justifies whatever con
demnation we may place upon the
game, and will awaken the people of
Georgia to their full duty in this
matter.
The Banner here and now declares
unrelenting war on football, and will
carry forward this movement to abol
ish it in Georgia from the faculty to
the legislative halls if necessary. No
man or set of men can do better ser
vice just now than to help stamp out
this evil and disgrace.
THE TRIBUNE’S BIG ISSUE,
(Atlanta Journal)
Last Sunday’s souvenir and trade edi
tion of The Rome Tribune contained
forty handsomely illustrated pages print
ed on book paper aud filled with inter
esting matter. It was one of the fore
most issues of a daily paper ever printed
in Georgia. ‘
Showed Pluck and Prosperity,
(Macon Telegraph)
The Souvenir and Trade edition 0:
The Rome Tribune, issued last Sunday
was a magnificent affair. It comprised
forty pages and every one of them was
eloquent of the pluck and prosperity of
the people and of the enterprise of The
Tribune.
Covered Itself With Glory, f
(Atlanta Constitution)
The Rome Tribune of Sunday was a
gigantic success. It gave not only a
complete pen picture of the institutions
of the city itself, but covered all the
neighboring towns as well. It was il
lustrated in the beet style, full of histori
cal and current matter and faithfully
set forth the advantages of one of the
best sections of Georgia. The Tribune
has covered itself with glory and de
serves the warmest praise.
For Young Men.
“A grave fault with a goodly number
of yonng men is a disposition to quarrel
with their surroundings, whereas the
real fault is not there, ” writes Edward
W. Book, in “Problems of Young
Men,” in the October Ladies’ Home
Journal. “Young men do not seem
clearly to realize that where they ara
they were intended to be, and for some
mighty good purpose, too. The place
where a young man finds himself is
, exactly where his Creator meant that he
, should be. Therefore he is capable of
filling it. God makes no mistakes. But
it is meant that we should grow of our
• efforts; get strong through the conquer-
■ ing of difficulties. « hen a young man
starts out to useful life, and starts out
' with a right determination, an ad
herence to honorable principles, and a
faith in God, no power on earth can re
tard him long, seriously interrupt his
career or effectively stop him. He is
bound to win. Our failures are always
duo to ourselves; never to other people
i nor to our environments. ’ ’

A Textile School,
(MLacm News)
There is a growing sentiment in favor
> of the establishment of a textile school
by the state of Georgia. The matter is
being discussed by the newpapers, and,
1 .too, by the cotton manufacturers of the
state and those interested in seeing
; Georgia developed along industrial lines.
> In an editorial on the subject the At
lanta Journal alludes the fact that Maj.
Hanson, the Macon cotton manufac-
1 turer, who had as much as anyone to do
) with the establishment of the Georgia
School of Technology, is now urging
that the state go a step farther aud es-
* tablish a textile school.
i Discussing the importance of this
( subject. Maj. Hanson says:
“I am gratified that in several of the
southern states there is renewed interest
! in the question of textile education. It
is conceded, I think, that cotton manu
' factoring will be the leading branch of
. manufacturing in the south, and cer
‘ tainly so in the cotton states. As yet
the business is in its infancy. It has,
however, passed both the experimental
t and sentimental stages, and for the fu
ture must become a cold matter of busi
ness. We have many capable men as
1 foreman and superintendents wbo have
educated themselves while working in
our mills to the point of their present
proficiency. They have labored under
serious disadvantages, but have demon
strated what can be accomplished by
persistent application. Scores of hun
dreds of our young men. better educated
and, in fact, well educated, as the term
is generally applied, are out of employ
ment, or are crowding each other in the
few avenues open for employment and
business. If they bad been trained in a
eood textile school they would have
found employment more profitable to
themselves, as well as to the communi
ties in which they live.”
“Not onjy the enterprising cotton
manufacturers of the south, but many
business men in other lines, many pub
lic spirited citizens and many progres
sive legislators aud educators have taken
a hearty interest in the textile school
movent, and it is practically certain
that in the early future there will be
found in this section at least one textile
school up to the latest and best modern
standard. We must have that school in
Georgia!” •
New York Newspapers.
(Atlanta Journal)
Tomorow night we will know what
New York newspaper influence is worth.
The World, The Herald, The Tribune,
The Times. The Evening Post, the Mail
and Express, The Sun, The Press, The
Commercial Advertiser—all the New
York newspapers are fighting Tammany,
except the Journal, and latter virulently
is fighting Croker, the real leader of
Tammany. The same is true of Brook
lyn, where The Eagle, The Standard
Union and The Commercial are ranged
against the braves. The real question
raised by the campaign seems to be “Is
the pen mightier than the Boss?’ ’
Which?
Which are the hands we love the best—
Those that are folded between our own,
Or those that move us to strange unrest
By feathery touch that is quickly flown?
Which—ah! which—do we love the best,
Hands caressing or hands careseed?
Which are the eyes we most adore -
Those reflecting our every thought.
Or those whose glances our hearts implore,
Whose fire will neither be tamed or taugh* 9
Which—ah! which—are we drawn most to
ward.
Hearts adoring or hearts adored?
Which is the heart of hearts we prize—
That which sways with passionate power,
Or that which yields as a sacrifice
Gentle and generous, day and hour.
Which of all do we hold above—
Hearts most loving or hearts we love?
—Mary Berie Chapman
