SENSATIONAL NEWSPAPER STORIES AND THE HARM THEY
DO OUR STATE.
Atlanta has for years enjoyed an unenviable reputation for yel
low newspaper correspondents, Many sensational stoflea have been
sent out of that city and publish <1 In New York and other papers
which always lo”e to print sensational stuff, to the great discredit of
our slab', and which were not true. This (lass of correspondents are
-just now displaying a most pernicious activity.
There Is the story sent to Ihe Houston Post, and printed by that
paper, which related an Incident purported to have transpired In the
stale senate chamber. It told circumstantially how, during the session
of the senate, one of the senators lurched about the chamber, brandish
ing a quart bottle of rye of a well known brand, and urging hlB fellow
senators to lake a drink. The Debater was finally taken In charge
and led from the chamber. He Iceland that he bought the liquor
from a blind tiger located in the Capitol.
Absurdly false as this story was, It was printed In a reputable pa
per. and of course, believed by people who lead It. It Is the business
of ii newspaper to print the news, and rows sent from a distance cab
mil possibly be verified before It. la printed. And what can the people
do but believe It, who read a story thus printed? They must assume
that the correHjiondcnt on the spot knows whereof he writes. The
average newspapi i reader does not reflect that much of this stuff Is
supplied by space writers, and that these men always try to make their
stories sensational In order to have them accepted. And so, on the
Rlrengih of a story written and sent out by one of Ibis Irresponsible
due’ inn do sensational In order to asHiir, Its acceptance, the outsld i
world Is made to believe that Ihe senate of the state of Georgia Is a body
where driiken members give disgusting bacchanalian exhibitions on the
door, and where blind tigers are operated In the very eapltol building
Itself.
The conv|.t lease Investigation furnishes an opportunity for these
rookie ,i sensation mongers to reap a harvest by the sensational stuff
It enables them to sell, when to our own state papers reports are
sent which are Introduced with the statement that revelations were be
ing made which “would Improve on any of the tales of horror which
.Siberia ever gave origin to, tales that took one back Into the dark
age* of medieval times," what cannot bo expected to be sent out of
the state? And suet) stories being printed, what can ha expected but
that they will be believed, and that outside the state conditions in
Georgia are believed to be worse t..an In Russia?
Oh, that reckless scribblers should do this, for the sake of the
few dollars those stories bring tnem, and that they could not be suic
pressed by law If their own sejise of justice and fairness will not deter
lm-iii from such a course!
That llicr,. are evils, great evils, connected with our convict lease
system Is trui 1 . and the people, through their law makers, have for some
time been trying to abolish tills system. It must lie remembered that
It was not adopted from choice, bat. forced upon the state by necessity,
and that Improvement has been made for a number of years, looking to
the totsl abolition of the system. Hut that It Is as bad as these Bensa
stlonal writers would have the world believe Is not true.
Ilecsuse some evidence Is given at the investigation this does not
prove that the (barge that Is made Is true. Heeause an ex-convict,
sentenced for murder and pardoned when he should have remained in
the convict camps, tells that a convict was whipped to death, this does
not establish the charge. The testimony of such a man Is worth very
little If uncorroborated by more credible evidence, 110 would natural
ly not like the convict system, and under the encouragement given
him. would color his tub l as highly as he dared. Many a defendant
Is clearly proven Innocent on trial against whom evidence as positive
iim that of some of these ex-convicts Is presented, and It Is a shame
that an effort should be made by newspapers and newspaper writers
to lead the people to make up their minds by accepting as turth these
exaggerated and palpably Improbable stories told by ex-convicts.
Wtlh tin l Investigation completed It will be found Just how much
exaggeration there was In these reports, and our legislators will do,
with the facts before them, what appears to be beat. But the harm re
mains that these frantically yellow reports, scut out by tills class of
correspondents from Atlanta and even featured In some Georgia papers,
will do the state It takes a long time for the truth to overtake n lie.
and until this Is done, by the outside world our state will be regarded
a worse than Russia with Its Siberian horrors.
And all because of yellow Journalism and the efforts of reckless
correspondents to sell their stuff.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
The Convict Lease System Is An Abiding
Disgrace
One of the standing scandals of this
country is the Georgia convict leas
ing system. It Is a disgrace to our
civilisation and especially to that of
the south. Georgia has no peniten
tiary. Convicts are farmed out to
coal mlnjr , brick makers and others,
the average rate paid the state for an
able-bodied man being, we believe,
about eight dollars a month. The
Interest of the lessee or purchaser,
of-course, is to get the last possible
ounce of work and effort from each
slave. The death of the convict Is
not a serious matter. Ills escape
means loss, and If he is 111, the care
of him means loss. When we recall
that many of these people are work
id In sequestered and remote locali
ties, that, the profit of Hie lessee de
pends on his ability to drive the con
victs, to spend as little money as
possible on their food and clothing,
and o hasten a termination of any
lllnfiHn, we can Imagine the results.
Nominally the state supervises the
treatment of the convicts, The kind
of supervision and the character of
the men entrusted with it may be
Georgia, as Seen Through a Neighbor’s Glasses.
The report that the campaign com
mittee of the O. 0. P. Is going to
make a fight for Georgia Is Interest
ing. It is known to be one of the
ideas of Mr. Roosevelt that he is per
sonally so popular with the southern
people that he can break up the Solid
Mouth. It Is natural, In ’his light, to
see aim going after anything in sight.
As forty thousand Georgia democrats
are said to have signed a petition for
a third term for him, It is not sur
prising that Mr. Roosevelt, who will
direct the coming campaign, should
he particularly impressed with a pos
sibility of carrying Georgia iuto the
republican column.
In addition to this petition for
Roosevelt signed, or said to have been
signed, by forty thousand Georgia
Democrats, Tom Watson, who has
some influence In Georgia, has been
debouncing Bryan atid making that
most, demagogic of all appeals to the
Ignorant and the prejudiced that tho
negro Is somehow Involved in the
campaign. Watson has gone so far
as to make the assertion that Bryan is
not in accord with the general south
ern Idea of the relations between the
races and that Taft Is.
The Republicans A re Afraid of Bryan.
The Eastern papers, with few ex
ceptions. are greatly displeased with
Mr. Bryan'H nomination, the Repub
lican papers sharing In the dis
pleasure, a singular fact when we re
member how they have been Insist
ing that Ills nomination would mean
certain Democratic defeat. If the
Democrats were foolish enough to
nominate Mrynn, Taft's election would
be lusurid. they said. If they had
been sincere the nomination of Bry
an would have been the signal for an
outburst of Joy from them. Instead of
It a howl of anger was the result.
Strange conduct, wasn't it, from men
receiving an insurance of victory.
The truth Is this pretense of be
lb vine Bryan the weakest candidate
who could have been nominated was
wholly Insincere. The papers that
have been making such ridiculous as
sertions knew be was the strongest
candidate the Democrats could nom
inate. They were trying to make the
people believe that Bryan was weak
so that they would put him aside and
nominate a man the Republicans
con'd beat. This feeling was shared
by many New York papers, long pre

judged from an article Just printed in
the Atlanta Georgian. In several
columns 'the Georgian tells the story
of Jake Moore, convict warden. This
shows that in thiiteen years he has
accumulated over 140,000 in real es
tate and personal property on his
salary ot 11,080 a year. One of his
larms in Cobb county was transferr
ed to him by a man named Hamby,
who holds under lease 600 convicts,
the largest number awarded to any
lessee.
Various fortunes In Georgia have
been made from the traffic in con
victs. The system has caused a se
nes of -scandals through the last
thirty years, and has been an endless
source of corruption. It Is difficult
to understand why people so rigidly
and sensitively pious that some of
them were ready to defeat a man for
governor because he had a ball room
in bis home go on tolerating a hor
ror like the convict system and for
the sake of a few thousand dollars a
year accepting shame, degradation
and hideous tragedy. Richmtond
News-Leader.
At the same time, there have been
recent occurrences In Georgia that
compel the belief that there is literal
ly no telling what might happen in
our Lister state. It seems impossible
that there should be forty thousand
men in that state who are not capa
ble of seeing through the monumental
hunibuggery of Roosevelt and have
actually signed a petition for another
term for him. The fact tnat his mother
was born In Georgia Is not sufficient
explanation of such unusual folly.
Roosevelt nas never done anything
for Georgia on this or any other ac
count.
But we do not believe that there is
a chance for the Republican ticket in
Georgia. We positively refuse to think
so ill of a people who, whatever their
shortcomings, are generally a sane
and a rightmlnded people.
Georgia is all right. There Is a lit
tle streak of yellow in her make-up;
she likes to be taken notice of. And
we fear there is a little too much
fondness for sitting at the table with
tne great. But these are human faults.
Let Mr. Bryan or any other demo
crat once be elected president and
there will be no further doubt of Geor
gia's democracy.—Columbia State.
tendedly democratic and long repub
lican in everything except pretense.
The purpose of all this twaddle
has been to put aside the man who
as Democratic nominee would sweep
the Republicans from power and put
In his place one who had no hold on
the people and who could be beaten.
The purpose failed. The people had
no confidence in the Democracy, or
the sincerity of these men and the re
sult is a nomination the more ob
noxious to them because of the prob
ability of election It carries.
The days of the inspired prophets
are numbered with the past, but it
needs no Inspiration to see the strong
probalkillty that Bryan will be elect
ed. The man whose nomination the
people forced is the man who holds
tile confidence of the people. He
who holds the people's confidence
will receive their votes. No candi
date could have been selected who
could poll as many votes as Mr.
Bryan in tho North Atlantic states,
but we believe he couid give all
these states to Taft without a strug
gle and then be the next president
of the T’nlted States. —Jacksonville

en notice of his Intention to introduce
a hill to prohibit the manufacture me
snip of “near beer" in Georgia. There
is no danger of the bill passing, now
over a.s it will be almost impossible
to have st bill of this character, intro
duced at this stage of the session, con
sidered.—Albany Herald.
It is a Nuisance.
The new county movements are meet
ing with strong opposition throughout
the state. Proposed new counties would
cut Emanuel all to pieces, as there were
three to be rut off that county. We
don't blame the people of the' counties
jnffected as it is a nuisance.—Waynes

Every Non-Progressive Merchant
BECOMES
YOUR COMPETITOR
When You Cease to Advertise Aggressively!
When a merchant "slows up' in ltis advertising, and conclude* to
' save a little money - ' lu that direction, then the merchant who
never had the courage and foresight to advertise adequately BE
COMKS A REAL COMPETITOR Even the merchant who never
advertises at all reaps a certain amount of profit from the "slowing
up" process of the live store.
Not many merchants, of course, who have at any flme set the pace
for progressive advertising, will be content to take a backward
plunge Into the company of the non-progressive, of the LITTLE
MERCHANTS, the easilv satisfied ones, the ttn-awakes' But that
is just what the "live one does when he imagines that his advertis
ing ts costing too muen, ana that Its curtailment means sav
ing” ,
It business conditions ever sntrge * retrenchment In advertising,
the wise merchant knows that this shsuid be Interpreted as a
signal for ' full speed ahead," for rc doubled efforts to WIN the
business that does not come so easily as usual.
