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. ’ ’ I ■ * 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 Do You Enjoy Sweet and Tender Meats! / If so, visit CARNOCHAN & BARRIS’ Market.
