What Has Been Don ?
The News made known yesterday the
fact that the county chaingang of Bibb
county has been driven from the roads in
the vicinity of Camp Haskell through rhe
interference and threats of bodies of negro
•oldiere.
This startling announcement has called
forth the just sentiment of every law
respecting citizen of this county, white
anil black. But this resentment is not di
rected entirely against the disorderly
negroes who perpetrated the outrage. On
the contrary, it is very justly directed in
•a large measure against those who per
mitted it . and who have isince allowed J
the perpetrators of it to go unpunished.
Such a thing never occurred in this com- (
inunity before —not even in reconstruction I
flays. Must our people submit to it. now
that they have courts and laws and officers
of their own?
Although the matter was reported to the
proper military authorities by a committee
of prominent citizens it was passed over
as an occurrence of no particular conse
qut nee, and the chaingang has not yet
been able to resume work on the roads in i
what vi: inlvy. With the work less than ■
half finished the road gang was forced to
leave through fear that a lot of negro
troops would make good their iheat to turn
loose a half hundred convicts on the com
munity.
That road should have been worked by !
those convicts if it were necessary to call i
out every white soldier in the pay of the |
government to guard them. And if these |
would not act. then the governor of Geor- I
gia should have pressed into service every
volunteer in the to compel* respect
<'?' our state authority.
Instead of this the affair was passed over
and hushed up, for fear, perhaps, of giving
offense to someone. Our civil authorities '
have depended on the military authorities
to act in the matter, and rhe latter have
practically ignored it. In fact, it seems
to have been the desire that the press and
public, too, should ignore. But. be it dis
creet or indiscreet, The News, for one. docs
not intend to do so. Our people have ig
nored too much already. They ignored the
recent uprisiing that almost led to an at
tack on rhe city; and the military author
ities ignored it. too, except to the extent
of disarming the mutinous regiment for a
few days—afterwards returning the guns
to these avowedly revengeful and murder
ous troops as if nothing had ever happen
ed. Our people also ignored the murder
ous assault made on young Burkett a few
nights later, when forty or fifty shots were
fired indiscriminately by a party of negro
soldiers who had broken camp for the
avowed purpose of “killing the first white
nr’ii who came their way.” And this. too.
the military authorities ignored so far as
punishment of the dastards was involved.
But the time has come when our people
are compelled to demand that more vigor
ous meavsres be taken. Their peace and
serenity is being too greatly disturbed and
they can submit no longer. After an at
tempt to loot the town, after repeated as
saults on peaceable white citizens, after
having the county chaingang driven from
its work, there can be no excuse for
leniency In dealing with the offenders —and
still less for allowing the ones who are
making a’l this trouble to bear arms. If
there was reason for disarming them be
fore thtre is ten-fold reason for it now.
Should Be Mustered Out.
Occurrences within the past two or three
days in Macon leave no further room for
doubt that the Sixth Virginia and Third
North Carolina negro regiments should be
mustered out of the service at once.
It would be a crime to send such troops
to Cuba to protect lives and property of
people there. That they would bring dis
credit on the army and nation is too cer
tain.
I: is understood that General Wilson ex
pressed similar views to Secretary Alger
when the later was in Macon a few days
ago. Coming from such a source it is dif
ficult to understand how the Secretary of
Way can ignore such an opinion.
Situated even as they now are these un
ruly negro troops are practically under con
stant surveilance. What, then will happen
when they are turned loose in Cuba to
guard and protect citizens of that coun
try? A constant menace to their own peo
ple, even while guarded by four or five
other regiments, is it not a foregone con
clusion that they will be guilty of the
worst outrages the moment they are freed
from such restraint in a foreign country?
None of the congressmen seem disposed
to press rhe case against Polygamist Rob
ert. They are probably afraid it is loaded.
Much Ado About Nothing.
’ An Atlanta special in the Telegraph rel
' j ative to President McKinley’s impressions
I during his Southern trip contains the fol-
' lowing:
i “The 'only criticism which has been
I made, and this has come from those who
wett net on the trip, was the incident
• i when the president was made to wear a
I Confederate badge. Some criticise the
• president for doing this and others say
I i that it was very tad taste on the pari of
r I Dr. Hall to insist upon putting the badge
on the president. Those who would find
i fault with the Southerner's enthusiasm say
• ! that it looked as if he was taking advan
. rage of the deep feeling of the chief execu-
i ;ive to impose upon him a badge which he
1 could not desire to wear, or else force him
’ to decline to do so. The president has
( made no criticism cf the action at all, and
those of his cabinet who were with him
’ say that to properly understand the offer
of Dr. Hall, who Insisted upon the presi
dent wearing the badge, one must have
been present and witnessed the real sin
cerity of the welcome extended to the
president.”
All of which results from a false state
men tmade by rhe Telegraph on the morn
ing following the President's visit. The
i News has already shown that the Presi
j dent v-*cd no such words as the Telegraph
I attributed to him." He did not hesitate to
' ”ear the badge, bur, on the contrary,
• | showed the mo-t gracious appreciation of
the touching compliment.
That the publication on which the above
. | is based was wholly without foundation is
borne out by the statements 'of Judge
j Emory Speer. Colonel C. M. Wiley, Dr.
,| Hall and the other veterans who stood
l near the President at the time. It is evi
' dent that the reporter drew on his imagi-
I nation for this part of his story, arid in
doing so he hes furnished rhe only un
pleasant incident of President McKinley’s
| visit.
A Noble Work.
Every one must recognize that the
splendid undertaking of the Rev. W. E.
Mumford, of this city to found the “Geor
gia Industrial Home” for that class of
helpless children now unprovided for by
any other institution, as being in every
i zay worthy of the heartiest support. Con
i sidering the fit tire circumstances under
which Mr. Mumford begins this work we
must say that his few hours' canvass has
made a most magnificent showing as seen
' by the list elsewhere published. He has
I touched a responsive chord and his list is
‘ only limited by the fact that it takes’ time
to reach the people. We shall be glad to
eCt a full demonstration of the fact that
the people of Macon are not utterly and
■ totally depraved. The News feels that
■ Macon has hundreds of, as good people as
there are on the earth. The cause that
they are now asked to help is one that ap
peals directly to the human heart at its
best.
Mr. Mumford's great charity has long
been needed by the state and it is so form-
I ulated as to come with an opportunity of
i blessing to all. The world needs more of
j that charity that will help to bury sec
tarian and partisan feeling. Many folks
get so narrow that they would corner on
all the good and allow only themselves j
and their sect to cast out devils.
“The Georgia industrial Home” will be
non-sectarian in deed and in truth. It will j
not be used as a means of helping to build
up any denomination and as such all peo
ple can come together and help it and thus
■ help themselves by coming together. If
j men and women are benefitted in charac
ter by the good they do certainly a charity
such as Mr. Mumford proposes widens the
opportunity of character building. Be
sides all this it fills a long felt want in
Georgia at least and should receive every
' encouiagement not only from the people
I of Macon, where it is proposed to estab
! lish it. but from the people of the state at
; large.
County Authorities Should Act.
The public conscience has been aroused
by the exposure of certain occurrences at
Camp Haskell —especially those involving
I flagrant violations of law by local negroes
who frequent the ea ups.
The conduct of drunken, degraded negro
wencnes who visit the negro troops in and
around the camps has been so disgusting
•nd outrageous as to create general indig
i nation, and the public peace and order
i demand that our civil authorities take the
, steps to punish these violators.
Negro women are engaged daily and
nightly in selling whisky to the negro sol
diers. and these- make lit'tle or no effort at
concealment. Other negro women visit the
camps daily and nightly in a drunken con
j dition and participate in the most shame
i ful debauchery, much of which comes tin
i der the eyes cf white people who are com
i pelled to pass in sight of the camp. In <ad
j dition tn these viola ti aas cf law. h. is a
I notorious fact that rhe majority of these
negroes, and particularly the soldiers, car
ry concealed weapons.
Such is the coi’d'i: m of affairs in and
i around Camp Haskell from a standpoint of
j law and order. Evidently the authorities
j at the camp are unable to prevent it. for
matters have continually grown worse.
I Thrs» facts make it tn. ar.tb-nt upon our
j civil authorities to take action, and they
should act at once; to the extent, if nec
essary. of arresting on suspicion, every
idle negro who frequents the camp. In no
other w.ay can a check be put to such con
duct.
When the fact is taken into consideration
that Ft is this class of local idleness and
depraved negro wenches who are instigat
ing the acts of disorder which some of the
soldiers put into execution, that it is rhese
worthless women who are furnishing them
with mean 'whisky to craze their brains
and arouse the animal that is in them, the
authorities cannot hesitate to act. and act
vigorously and promptly.
False Ideas nf Mafrimany.
The latest scandal among New York's
“400”—in fact this one occurs within the
sacred circle of the ul r "a 7'•—.s. the tui;
for divorce brought by Henry T. Sloane
against his wife, the charge, in effret. be
ing infidelity. In making his statement of
, the affair rhe busband says he has deeded
1 co the wife his New York mansion, “not as
a peace offering, but that she may main
-1 tain her position in society."
If it had been so intended this remark
would have been the refinement Gs sar
casm. A fine house rather than a fine
character, is what is needed io maintain
one's status in that social helf-world that
. calls itself exclusive —but boasts of noth
ing else. Surely Mr. Sloane’s statement
‘ of the case is both terse and apt.
In this connection the New York Jour
nal quotes a very plain-speaking New
York preacher as follows:
“We are living in a time of matrimonial
infelicities. Marriage instead of being a
free and glad surrender of the heart —a
union on equal terms —is too frequently a
i society affair between two exquisite fools.
! Matrimony has become a matter-of-money.

Catholics understand the law o-f the church
on this subject and so they set themselves

1 Facia that cannot be too ofter emphasiz
ed in this day of social match-making,
when marriages are contracted with less
attention to rhe natural considerations and
uatuial laws involved than we would give
to the mating of our herses or cattle. Such
disrespect of the sacrament of matrimony
begets disrespect of the moral obligation
involved, and these combined beget di
vorces.
Senator (Morgan has decided to unearth

HUMIDITY ON THE WABASH.
' From the Boston Evening Transcript.
“Talking about rainy weather,” said the
| Westerner, “I remember once out in In
dianapolis meeting a farmer who took the
mest cheerful view of dampness of any
body I ever saw. 1 asked him if they had
much rain down on the Wabash . that
spring.
“ ‘Well, it has been a little damp.’ he
answered. ‘The day before I left home I
; bad to bang up twenty-four of my ducks.
They had got =o water-soaked that they
couldn’t swim any longer. I planted my
corn in two feet of water, and I don't ex
pect over thirij- bushel to the acre. My
wheat is looking pretty well, but the stur
geon, and catfish have damaged it consid
erable. There was about fifteen minutes’
sunshine one day, and I thought I would
plant my potatoes, so I leaded them on a
scow and anchored the scow in three feet
of water, when it began to rain again.
‘I wanted to go down on the bottom
; lands next the Wabash to see if the grass
| was growing for my hay crop, but my wife
; said that as we didn’t have any diving bell
i she’d rather I wouldn't. I should feel kind
; of discouraged with all the rain, but I've
j spent my odd hours of leisure time —and
i the even ones. too. on account of staying
in out. of the v, et—building us an ark. If
it will only rain another week or two until
I get her ready to sail I’m going to take
my family out to Missouri by water for a
trip to visit our folks that moved off out
i there because they didn’t know enough to
| stay in a place where they were comfort
: able.' ’’
