“Synod” is a word derived from the
Greek meaning “meeting.” In our
language it refers entirely to church
meetings.
Editor Grubb, of the Darien Ga
zette, says; “Co-education will not
win in the present legislature. That
much is sure.”

The Defenders of The Sabbath.
We honor the representatives of
<the cultured and courageous Chris
tian denomination who are in session
in Rome for many things, but for
none more than their aggressive and
untiring work for the strict observance
•at Sunday.
Presbyterianism and Sabbath ob
servance to us are almost synony
mous terms.
This denomination has lead in all
the great movements of our nation for
the carrying oat of the third com
mandment. It was the Presbyterians
who closed the World’s Fair gates on
Sunday, and in all cities where there
is a notable quietude and peacefulness
it is nearly always due to them.
We would not lesson the Christian or
moral influence of any of the other
denominations, but all accord to the
Presbyterians the place of leadership
m this matter.
Rome is honored by this splendid
body—the synod of Georgia. We are
glad that they are here and we hope
the meeting will be profitable to them
and a blessing to our goodly city.
We are proud "hat the beloved and
popular Rev. George T. Goetchius, D.
D., pastor of our First Presbyterian
church, is moderator of the South
ern Presbyterian General Assembly,
probably, the most learned and schol
arly ecclesiastical body in the world.
This general assembly is composed
of thirteen states, and the thirteen
synods of 76 Presbyteries. There are
2,816 churches, 1,393 ministers and a
total membership of 211,694 The
total contributions for the last cburcn
year were $1,832,860. The general
assembly conferred a high honor upon
Dr. Goetchius and thus was Rome
honored.
The synod of Georgia is one of the
component parts of the general assem
bly. It has six Presbyteries, 105
ministers, -213 churches and 15,022
ministers.
We bid the men of God and the
laymen a warm welcome to Rome,
and bid them God-speed in the con
tinuation of their work for Sabbath
observance.
Heard in Atlanta.
What is the legislature going to do
about the penitentiary question?
That was the question I asked a .
number of the members of the bouse
and senate, and nobody could answer 1
it.
“No man living can tell what they ,
will do,” seemed to be the general (
answer.;
As has been before stated in The
Tribune there are almost as many
different plans and opinions as there
are members. No two of the 219 mem
bers have exactly the same ideas about
what is best to be done with the
convicts. It is likely that many
speeches will be made. The amended
Hall bill is the special order for next
Tuesday.
A prominent member of the senate
said to me:
“Since the penitentiary question
ba? bad so much politics injected into
it there is no telling what will become
of it.
“I regard it as very unfortunate
that GoV. Atkinson had to say in his
message that he would veto any meas
ure for the leasing again of the
convicts. Also, that Mr. Hall intro
duced his bill which was drawn to
earry out the administration plan. It
would have been much better if the
legislature could have met unham
pered. There are a number of the
members who are opposed to Gov. At
kinson, and will delight in embarrass
ing him by trying to kill any measure
they think he favors. ’ ’
It seems that in the effort to put
through the administration plan, the
other bills are not being given a show.
Representative Stone who has a bill
prepared to lease the convicts again,
failed to get it considered by the pen
itentiary committee. He says he had
to go home one day and was promised
a hearing,but the penitentiary commit
tee adjourned and will have no more
meetings.
“I want the convicts punished and
kept at hard labor, ” said he. “There
is too much maudlin sentiment about
the criminals. We don’t want them
kept in separate rooms and slept on
feather beds, I do not know what
the legislature will do.”
Joseph Ohl, the well known and
very popular Washington correspond
ent of the Atlanta Constitution, is
here circulating among bis many
friends in state politics. I asked
him about the next session of con
gress, and particularly his opinion as
to what action would be taken in re
gard to Hawaii, Cuba and currency
reform.
‘‘ln iny opinion,” said he, ‘‘the next
' congress will annex Hawaii, i believe
the republican party has agreed upon
i it. '
•‘Nothing will be done for Cuba by
i the republican party. It is almost
certain to remain just as it is.
“The republican party is too hope-

The Souvenir and Trade Edition of
The Rome Tribune, just issued is by
far the largest and handsomest edition
of its kind ever attempted in a city the
size of Rome, and fully equals a ma
jority of those sent out from the largest
cities in the country. It contains forty
pages of descriptive matter, beautifully
and profusely illustrated, and reflects
the highest credit not cnly upon the
management of The Tribune, but
upon the city of Rome and Floyd county
It is*deoidedly the best advertisement
that section of North Georgia has ever
had.
A Credit to Rome-
(Atlant. Journal)
Editor Knowles has distinguished
himself again by getting out a big,
bright and handsome Souvenir Edition
of The Rome Tribune. The issue is
not only a credit to Editor Knowles
and hie staff, but to the city in which
and for which they work so faithfully.
Yields to None In Enterprise.
(Valdosta Enterprise)
The Rome Tribune came out in a
40 page Souvenir Edition on Sunday.
The Tribune yields to none of the big
papers in enterprise, and the business
men of Rome seem to be standing solid
ly by it.
A Leading Daily Paper,
(Jackson Times)
The Rome Tribune issued one of the
nicest, neatest and most up-to-date
journals this.week that it has ever been
our pleasure to persue. Rome is a
great town, and The Rome Tribune is
one among our leading daily journals,
lessly divided on the financial question
to accomplish anything. There will
be no currency reform by the next
congress. ’ ’
The politicians are going on with
the gubernatorial talk, and Terrell,
Candler and dußignon seem to be
leading the field. I heard opinions
expressed that next year was going to
be a Confederate veteran year in
Georgia. Tho«e who advocate this
idea say that it will be a tide which
cannot be stemmed. This would
mean Candler, or Evans. But Gov.
Atkinson and his friends who are for
Terrell are watching all points and
fortifying all weak spots. The gover
nor expects to succeed Bacon in the
senate, and is laying all plans accord
ingly. With a dozen candidates for
governor it is too early to predict with
certainty who will win.
Education andco-edueationare creat
ing considerable talk. Dr. Candler,
of Emory college and Dr. Nunnally, of
LaGrange Female college were here
Tuesday. Chancellor Boggs, of the
State University, is to address the leg
islature tonight.
“Dr. Nunnally, you have not de
clared yourself on the question of co
education,” I remarked.
“Well, when so few of the girls
avail themselves to take the full courses
at Shorter college and at my school
at LaGrange, I do not see why the
State University should be opened to
them. They do not take as high a
course as is now offered at the female
schools.”
From all I could learn the bill fo r
opening the University of Georgia to
women will not pass at this session of
the legislature unless there is a graa
change in sentiment.
H. R. H.
“Why is it that the State Univer
sity is a ‘red flag’ in front of every
educational agitator and peanut poli
tician who happens to be honored
with a seat in our state legislature ?’’
asks Editor Carlton and nobody an
swers.
When I Get Time.
When I get time,
I know what I shall do.
I’ll cut the leaves of all my books
And read them through and through.
When I get time,
I’ll write spine letters then
That I have owed for weeks and weeks
To many, many men.
I When I get time.
I’ll pay those bills I owe.
And with those bills, those countless bills
I will not'be so slow.
When f get time,

Mrs. Myrick's Opinion-
(Americus Times-Recorder)
The Souvenir and Trade Edition of
The Rome Tribune was one which all
Georgia bach need to be proud of. It
consisted of forty pages, in which the
commercial advantages and attractions
of Rome and Floyd county were admira
bly set forth and splendidly displayed.
The paper contained much valuable
information from the section in which
it is published, which will command
favorable attention from thousands of
home-seekers abroad. It was a model of
excellence editorially and a typographi
cal gem, full of up-to-date, live adver
tisements. All Rome should bend and
bow to the great and only Tribune.
The Times-Recorder extends congratu
lations to talented Editor Knowles and
his capable assistant, Editor Houstonn
Harper. Gentlemen, yon have done your
selves and your city prond.
It Was a Beauty-
(Waycross journal) .
One of the finest and most complete
special editions that we have seen in
many a day was issued last Sunday by
The Rome Tribune. It was a beauty.
"Bully for Rome"
(Acworth Post)
The Rome Tribune says Rome re
ceives annually 80,000 bales of cotton;
that Rome has over $3,000,000 invested
in manufacturing plants, that Rome’s
manufactories give employment to over
2,000 hands, and over SBOO,OOO is paid
out annually in wages. An excellent
showing for Rome. Bully for Rome.
