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 to w?rk planning how ifeey can get along together inste-ad of how they can gt-t away from each other.” 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 the lobbies th.' i are endeavoring to prevent the construction cf the 'Nicaraguan Canal. He has declared open war upon 'them, and inexecutive ses= : on of the senate, he se cured the adoption of a resolution permit ting bis committee on the Nicaraguan ca nal to conduct an investigation during the Christmas holidays for the purpose of ex posing the members and the interests of these lobbies. 'Similar action will be nec essary on the part of the Georgia Legisla ture at its next session to put an end to •the railroad lobbying that has so long brought discredit on the state.

' 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.' ’’ CASTOR IA For Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the y/ Signature of Send to Sam Weichelbaum for North I Carolina scuppernong at $1 a gallon.
