The Atlanta Constitution never
gets left. In its Tuesday’s edi
tion a first-class leg show was
started right plump in the middle
of its society page. The ‘ yel
lows” are not in the Constitution’s
class just a little bit.
Mrs VV. H. Felton is a grand
woman, and the Atlanta fournal
is fortunate to have her support as
assistant editor to that very able
and popular paper. Her writings
are sound, pure and elevating and
are doing almost unlimited good
wherever the Journal is read. The
good she is doing will never be
known to all of the people of the
present day. It will extend to fu
ture generations. Mankind is for
tunate to be blessed with such a
woman. For the good of human
ity may many years be added to
to her already brilliant and useful
life. —Forsyth Chronicle.
RISKS OF JOURNALISM,
One of the unpleasant features
of the journalistic profession is
the liability to physical assault by
offended persons, that the fearless
editor must face. Every bully,every
political ruffian, every professional
fraud, is the deadly enemy of the
fearless and honest publisher. The
murder of such an editor was the
final straw that broke the back of
public patience in San Francisco,
in 1854. and caused the famous
Vigilantes. When Deßodays
offended the Count Castellane by
telling the truth about him in his
newspaper, the count went to the
editor’s house, found his way into
the editor’s apartment and assault
ed him, thus forcing the editor to
send a challenge, the result of
which was a very painful wound
caused by a pistol bullet in the
editor’s thigh.
This was one of the less ruffianly
methods pursued by the people
who get offended, when the press
is compelled to tell of their affairs,
in the course of giving the news.
Another inconvenience editors
are liable to meet with is the libel
suit. There isn’t a fearless and
useful newspaper in the land that
doesn’t have to pay out considera
ble sums in fighting libel suits, not
one in fifty of which has any real
merit in it; the vast majority being
brought for revenge; generally
urged by shyster lawyers; many
being strictly in the nature ol :
blackmail.
So the editor is in danger of
having his head broken by one set
of enemies, that he must make
mad if he does his duty; and his
estate impaired by another set
who are equally legitimate objects
with the other for exposure and
criticism.
Asa rule, editors are men of
peace, and therefore, they do not
relish being made targets of, or
being forced to shoot some bully
or some decent but infuriated man,
in self-defense. Actuaries, at one
time, seriously discussed the put
ting of the editors in the extra
hazardous list, when they applied
for life insurance, but the country
has since then become more civil
ized, yet none too civilized.
But with all of the drawbacks
and risks, and in spite of its
meager remuneration,—no profes
sion is so fascinating to the man
of courage, the lover of justice,
the seeker after and ready purvey
or of truth, as that of journalism.

A PANAMA OR NICARAGA CANAL?
Macon Telegraph.
In a recent issue of the Philadel
phia Record, Profes.or Angelo
lleilprin makes a very strong plea
in favor of an isthmian canal by
the Panama route. He shows that
the slight advantage in point of
distance that would be gained in a
voyage between our Atlantic and
Pacific coasts via the Nicarauga
route would be more than would
be gained in a voyage between our
Atlantic and Pacific coasts via the
Nicarauga route would be more
than offset by the gain in point of
time—the only really important
question to navigators—by wav of
the Panama route. The former
would be four times as long as the
latter —187 miles, as against 47
miles—and the shorter distance in
the open sea would be more than
lost in the delay of passing the
more numerous locks in the long
er canal.
Professor lleilprin also objects
to the Nicaragua route because it
is is an active centre of seismic
disturbances, and on this point, as
a recognized geological expert,
his opinion is not to be lightly dis
regarded. Estimates differ, but
he thinks that to purchase and
complete the Panama canal would
cost no more than to build the
rival waterway, and after com
pletion even the advocates of the
Nicaragua route admit that it
would cost more to maintain the
canal of their choice. As for the
question of executive American
control, that must be settled by
negotiation in either case.

The Pan-American Exposition
at Buffalo, which will be opened
on May 1, is an undertaking of
great magnitude. Every phase of
American progress and develop
ment will be represented, includ
ing the fine arts as well as the in
dustrial and mechanical arts. The
exhibits will be confined entirely
to products of the Western hemis
phere—including British America,
the states North, South and Cen
tral America and the West Indies.
About $6,000,000 was subscribed
for the enterprise, exclusive of
$3,000,000 for "Midway” features.
One of the chief objects of the ex
position is the promotion of trade
between the countries, states and
islands of the Western hemisphere.
Although the exposition managers
w ere unable to obtainjan appropria
tion from the federal government,
there will be no change in the
plan and scope of the exposition.
One of the unique features of the
exposition will be the Indian con
gress, which will also include an
Indian museum with a fine collect
ion of curios and relics, prehistoric
and modern, gathered from all
parts of North America. Forty
two tribes of red men will be rep
resented, and the 500 or more In
dians at the exposition will illus
trate every phase of Indian life.

THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GA .
JULIAN HAWTHORN.
Editor News, Cabtkrsvillk, Ga. :
Anent the great hubbub being made
over the utterances of Jole Hawthore,
it i well for us to keep tab on, and
occasionally review the publisned
statements of such pseudo-sociologists
as this would-be regulator and recon
siructionist of race matters; “lest we
forget, lest we forg°t.” Julian is quot
ed by one reporter as saying, while in
Atlanta a few days, that to put the bal
lot in the hands of the r.egroattime ol
his freedom was like giving the ballot
to an infant that did nor know how to
use it.” You would have gone only to
the aysluin to find a Caucasian who did
not know that in 18(56, and every year
since. It was never “opposed that the
freedmen had intelligence enough to
properly use the ballot. The ballot
was given them that they might, in
their ignorance, he u ed only oy the
malicious i 1 the breaking down rather
than the building up of society in the
south.
This Julian Hawthorn, now with
Parkhurst and Ogden party, repre
senting the Philadelphia North Amer
ican, is a son of the novelist Nathaniel
Hawthorn. Nathaniel, besides several
other works, wrote the Scarlet Letter,
a work that rather showed up New En
gland society. That book brought
vo'umes of Yankee censure on his old
head, but it is a work that will live
long in the south and west.
The Atlanta Daily News of the 22nd
int. says Julian is “one of the best
known writers upon social and politi
cal topics in the country.” Thi re is
much truth in that statement of the
Atlanta News, as this is not the first
appearance of Jule before the public.
For seventeen years l have been trying
to ' keep tab” on such men, “les, we
forget, lest we forget.”
Less than four years ago Jule ITaw
tboin was telling us how to settle the
race problem in the south I have
misplaced his published article but
find a reply to it by the inimitable W.
C. Brann, the editor of Brann’s Icono
clast.
Tn Jule’s article of the midsummer of
1897 he advocated miscegenation hs a
means of settling the race problem.
Repeal the laws of the southern states
which discountenance the intermarri
age of whites and blacks, encourage
uch cross marriages, and it would not
only stop the negro outrages—so called
—but would, by giving them white
wives, satisfy the demands of that ele
ment of negroes, and would in a few
genenerations remove the color line—
as all would ihen be mulattoes—no
whites, no blacks. But Jule was up
north when he wrote that article on
sociology, that "mid Summer’s Night
Dream” or 2897.
Now when he comes south we do not
know what he is saying to our “broth
er-in-black,” but here is wnat he says
to an Atlanta News reporter :
“ You can’v make a white man out of a
negro,’’said Julian Hawthorn, of the
Philadelpl ia North American, last
night when discussing the educational
outlook of the negro in the south.
“This fact, I am afraid, is not gener
ally appreciated in the north,” he con
tinued “The best thing for the negro
is training in the manual trades, the
cultivation of the earth and so on.
“The trouble is the people are in too
big a hurry to solve the negro problem.
It is an important problem and is a mat
ter of genati ns rather than years.
The negro as a race is stronger than
the white man. I mean ethnologically
speaking, of course. A mulatto is a
negro, no matter how light the skin.
The white man in him has disappeared.
The Indian is also stronger than the
white man and when the Indian and
negro are crossed the characteristics
of each are equally pr minent The
characteristics of the white man will
disappear in the Indian ju*t a* they
will in the negro. The negroes, then,
should keep to themselves.
“If they can be taught to live de
cent, moral lives and let them keep to
themselves, the problem will so've in
time, hut we must not hope to do ev
erything in a decade. Eliminating
the time factor trom the prob
lem, 1 leel encouraged at the outlook.
JONH FULLWOOD DEFENDS TENANTS.
P. J. MORAN IS CLEVERLY ROASTED.
John I Fullwood, in Cedartown Courier.
I enjoyed reading the Constitu
tion, so full of Georgia news,
until I struck an article by Mr.
Pascal J. Moran.
Some years ago I had the pleas
ure of meeting Mr. Pascal J. Moran
and he seemed to be a clever, affa
ble gentleman, but like myself,
what he don't know would fill a
whole library full of books.
The aforesaid Pascal J. Moran
in his articles on “En Route
through Georgia,” asserts that
the white tenant is a menace to
the future of our state.
He claims to have found one
who won't buy a mule “because
“its easier to beg ’em and won’t
raise chickens because “sum un
ud steal em.”
He declares that the cause of the
increase of tenantry is the lack of
ambition to our own land on the
part of the white tenant; and that
any white tenant can (if he will) in
three years make enough to sup
port his family and pay fora farm.
Now considering our respective
ages, 1 assert that I have rented
more land to renters and from
landlords and written as much
copy as Mr. Pascal Moran ever
did. With this experience before
me it is my unqualified opinion
that the white renters are filling
their jobs equally as well as Mr.
P. J. M. or myself and that the
state could better spare a few cor
respondents than a few tenants.
In all my experience with both
white and black tenants I never
knew one quite so shiftless as the
one he describes. But even if he

‘The conditions prior to and during
the war were patriarchal and delight
ful. The negro was left at home with
the defenseless white woman of the
south and not a single violation of the
trust is record'd. We should bring
back a condition like that.
“The restructionists gave them suf
frage and let them aspire to equalify
with the whites. The politics of these
times have much to answer for, but
you can’t indict a nation. The ani
mosities of that period will in time be
forgotten.”
“The abstract higher education is
less beneficial to the negro than the
concrete manual training,” is the way
Mr. Hawthorn put it. “Manual train
ing makes useful artisans, while the
colleges turn out only teachers.”
It would show a lack of knowledge,
in us to say that this same Julian
Hawthorn had probably changed his
mind during the three year* and nine
months intervening the writing of his
article on southern sociology in 1897
and his statements in Atlanta in 1901.
It is not a change of sentiment or
opinion in Jule—only a change of soil
and climate —a chaDge of audience.
I will not comment further than to
give the reply made by the south's great
defender, the late W. C. Brann, in the
Iconoclast of August, 1897. Mr. Brann
said : ,
“Julian Hawthorn, whoe ‘paw
wrote some dreary novels that every
body praises and nobody reads, has
reached the conclusion that miscege
nation is the proper solution of the
race problem — hat the white sh mid
marry the blacks and fade ’em out legi
mately instead of by the popular rt
publican formula. Well, there is no
law against miscegenation in New
York, and if Julian would like to wed

or aunts who are heart-hungry lor
black husbands, let them forward their
is describing a bona fide case,
what an incalculable wrong is done
the hard working white tenants of
Georgia by sending out broadcast
over the land the impression that
this is a true type of the class.
T’ner i are, of course, some ten
ants who are trifling, some land
lords who are worthless, and I
thinks Mr. Pascal J. Moran will
admit that there are at least a few
newspaper men who are not worth
their room in hades.
Statistics show that the tenant
class is increasing in our country
and it will continue to do so unless
the currency is very much inflated,
no matter howgreat an “ambition”
the tenant may have to own his
home.
I have grown up with them,
worked by them, spent many
hours around their firesides and
know that there is not one in a
hundred of our young white ten
ants who start out in life as such
that has not a strong ambition to
own a future home.
There is not an average farm in
Georgia that will support the aver
age tenant’s family and pay for
itself in three years.
Any man who don’t know this,
and in his ignoranc states to the
contrary, should be sentenced to
twelve months’ hard labor on the
farm. Daily task, one acre turned
land, hoe two acres cotton or cut
two hundred shocks of grain as I
have done many and many a day
before I lost my health ■ and
strength fooling with politics and
newspapers.
photos I’ll paste ’em up in Coon Alley,
and perchance they’ll catch the fancy
of bucks. Of course Mr. Hawthorne
would not advise others to do that
which he would object to in his own
family. But seriously a man who
make such a suggestion doesn’t de
serve to die a respectable death. He
ought to be bit by a blue-gum nigger
claw’ed by buzzards, kicked by a blind
jackass and buried lace down in a pile
ot compost. When a Caucasion would
defile his own race by injecting into
it the blood of the Ethiop it were an
insult to every dog in Christendom to
call him a mangy cur.”
That is Julian Hawthorn ; n 1897, and
in 1901. How do you like it?
