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. —Chattanooga Times. Plant more corn. Don’t fool with cotton —Home Tribune. Yes, but who's going to “fool” with the supply man and the sher iff in the fall? 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.

GILREATII, Jr. 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 NOTICE.

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 a coal black two hundred pound wench this hot weather I can send him one G. O. D. If he has any sisters, cousins 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.
