PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
One of flic most powerful influen¬
ces that affect secular and political
~ matters is public sentiment When
this becomes strong and united some-
thing is obliged to happen. If public
sentiment demands that new laws
shall be made, these arc enacted ; if
it says this act of legislation shall be
amended, the desired change soon
occurs. The people rule, but public
sentiment rules the people.
Butin noothcr way is public sen¬
timent more potent than in the effect
it has upon the execution of the laws.
Our legislators may enact a law just
as man can devise and ns unmistaka¬
ble as an ugly women, but if the peo¬
ple of a certain county or of a com 1 '
munity oppose it, tins law will he
evaded.
For instance, the inhabitants of
I he mountainous sections of the state,
aa a rule, do not believe it is wiong
to distil their corn and dispose of it
in liquid form without paring
enue for so doing, consequently it is
a rare thing for a moonshiner to be
repotted by his neighbors, unless he
incurs the enmity of one of them,
even though hundreds may know
where his distillery : s located.
In a community where the people
generall}' think it is proper to have
pistols in their hip pockets to com¬
plete their toilets,punishment for car¬
rying concealed weapons is rare.
In a town in which the citizens, as
a rule, do nor ob ject to violations of
the local option law, “blind tigers”
will be numerous.
Lynch law will continue as long as
the people think it is right.
When public sentiment strongly
condemns the evils mentioned above,
they will cease to exist, or occur rare¬
ly. If the citizens of a town really
disTre to stop a certain kind of law
breaking they can be almost, if not
entirely, successful.
Public sentiment depends, princi-
pallv, upon the most influential men
of a town or of a community. And
these arc, morally, as culpable for
some transgressions of the law as
the law breakers themselves. Let ev¬
ery one who has influence—and no
one is without it—strive to use it in
advocating the right and condemn
ing and endeavoring to suppress
wrong.
We are glad to see a few papers
with the courage to condemn the
most barbarous treatment to which a
negro brute was subjected a few days
ago at Paris, Tex. Pehaps the pun¬
ishment was no greater than he de¬
served, but it makes us ashamed to
to think wc live in a country in
which men supposed to be civilized
can take delight in torturing at the
stake one of their fellow-creatures
.
It is too horrible to think oflong.
The news, w hich is doubtless au¬
thentic, that President Cleveland will
appoint Judge Walter Q. Gresham
of Indiana as a member of his cabi¬
net, caused much surprise. Until
quite recently Judge Gresham has
been a Republican. Some Democrats
are displeased with this selection of
Mr. Cleveland, but the majority seem
to be of the opinion that Grover
knows what he is about.
We are tired of hearing about
the advisability of young men’s com¬
ing to the front, or the impropriety
of their crowding out tlie old men.
Age should not be taken into'con-
sideration; it is simply a question of
ability and fitness.
A convention of »he cotton grow¬
ers of the Southern states will be held
in Memphis, Tenn., on the 22d. The
object of the convention is to reduce
the acreage of cotton, and it is to be
hoped that the meeting will be suc¬
cessful.
It seems to be generally under¬
stood that lion, Hoke Smith will get
a cabinet position—that of secretary
of the interior. Georgia f?els proud
of the honor conferred upon her brill¬
iant son, who is in every respect
worthy of it.
We gladly add to onr exchanges
the Macon Telegraph. Wa have not
seen a copy of this paper in over a
month, until a day or two ago. aud
we find it cosiderably improved.
Orrpivx'-y Hill wi l come to Toe-
week, to pay the widows who ara
entitled to pensions.
In Gainesville, one day this week,
f ile sheriff barely managed to save a
negro prisoner from lynching by car¬
rying him to Atlanta. The negro
waa accused of a grave offence.
Sensational articles and scan¬
dals will net be likely to appear in
f, ur columns. It is our intention to
publish a paper that no parent would
object to his child’s reading.
Tiie News has received a good
many compliments recently. These
are appreciated, but dollars would be
j° st as acceptable and much more
useful in this office.
At such a time as this we
fee! convinced that the road laws of
Georgia should either be amended or
more rigidly enforced. We need bet¬
ter roads.
After Cleveland has publicly an¬
nounced the names of the men who
will compose his cabinet, we will b e
sure about the matter.
TnF.EE is no feature in the con ntry
newspaper so effectual in prodnci ng
that “tired feeling 0 as the “Guess
Who” column.
It looks as if the United States
will annex the Hawaiian Islands, but
the matter will not be decided just
now.
Until there is a change in public
sentiment lynching will continue,
whatever laws may be passed.
No blanks for soldiers’ pensions
will be sent out from the executive
department until March 15th.
In this country the people rule,
but, they usually act just as a very
few men tell them to do.
One of the most “ehestnutty” ex¬
pressions is the word “chestnuts.”
The Atlanta people are swearing
“by Ilokie.”
TUGALO DOTS.
Will Thomas, of Martin, visited
here last week. Newton Fricks was
also numbered among our visitors.
J. A. Smith, of Avalon, gave our

debted to it.

Tom Payne of Toecoa, come out
in our community the 3rd, with an
elegant turnout, buying up country

lie was at Lewis Westmoreland’s call¬
ing for a barrel of syrup.
We are sorry to learn that C, P.
Jarrett will make his home, in the
near future, at Athens.
“Know AU" bad an elegant party at
his home last week It was carried on
in the shape of a Hot Supper” and
“Rang Tang.”
There was a jolly gathering last
Sunday in our neighborhood, the
grandest that has been for years. At
the residence of Mike Camp, here
is an organ which the boys nave re¬
cently purchased. The singing was
heard for miles, the different parts
were supreme and the community
has been kept awake every night
since by the regular thump, thump,
thump. But we hope that times will
get better, as cotton seed have gone
to 30 cents a bushel.
The correspondents fo The Toc-
coa News did not get such a good
puff last week. We will try to do
better in the future.
The people of this neighborhood
have decided that shingles will go up
now since Lewis Walt rshas gone in¬
to the business.
Mrs. Bill Crawford is very low.
Mrs. Asa Dooly is not improving
very much.
In conclusion I would like to have
the corresponnents answer the riddle
which is given below: “Whom God
hath not seen, queen’s seldom see
kings cannot see; God seeth all and
every-thing, but still there is one
thing that he has not seen.
