YELLOW JOURNALISM.
Brother Seely, of the Atlanta
Georgian. in his attack upon the
Prison Commission ot Georgia is
picturing some horrible exceptional
cases of cruel treatment at different
convict camps. We lie lit ve in the
bringing to justice of the cruel con
vict whipping boss and the estab
lishment of sai.i'.iry conditions in
the camps immediately, but fail to
see t lie pee, ssity of abolishing the
lease system without the state s first
making preparat ions for the change.
In other words, we favor the abol
ishing <f the system, but believe
the state should he given ample
tiiVic to prepare for su'eli*' an ex
pensive under'taking.
Xow as to brother S ely s ter
rific arraignment of the prison com
mission and the -tat -of Georgia in
his fight to have th< convicts placed
upon the public roads. \\ ill his
remedy 'eliminate the whipping
boss and line the convict, camp- of
Georgia with daisies and roses?
We think not. So long as we have
a criminal class in the state then
is going to he a very undesirable
place to detain them as a protec
tion to our peaceable citizenry.
We were firm in our belief that
brother Seely’s intentions were
good, hut when his paper started a
voting contest which tended to
show the. sentiment of Georgia as
favoring Roosevelt for president our
faith began to waver, and now that
lie is endeavoring to picture our
state to the world as being com
posed of fiends and barbarians, we
must agree with the late Sam Jones
that “h —1 is paved with good in
tentions’’ "i 1 that Brother Seely is
running his paper into yellow jour
nalism for the sake of revenue only.
The Georgian may give us a black
ey* with some people outside the
stab , but our citizens will never
lelicve that Christian men like
Gen. Clement A. Evans would
knowingly permit of such brutality.
We rise to remark that we are of
the opinion that Winder has out
grown the hog-pen class of cities.
A Winder citizen cleared away
and burned the weeds and trash
near his home one day this week,
so we hear.

With the Paragraphers.
The champions of the directoire
gown claim that they are trying to
revive only a fashion that was very
popular in a past age. 1 hen, to be
consistent, they should go hack still
further and revive the fig leaf gown
once more.— Augusta Herald.
“Car Dashes Into Laughing

The Rochelle New Era mentions
this rather unusual occurrence —
“The passenger train ran over the
tail of one of Mis. J). J. Christmas'
hens one day this week and cut it
off just below the Jack Dillard
er< issing.”
The Savannah Press, in a ringing
editorial on “The Call of the South,’'
appeals to the democrats of Georgia
to stand true to their fathers. The
Press is right. Tho talk about a
democratic rally to Taft on the part
of a few people in Georgia, is all
wrong. Let us all stand true to the
faith. There are some few so-called
democrats in Georgia who ought, to
he in the republican camp, anyhow
—Svlvanie Telephone*.
The press of the state is criticising
Savannah for lack of enforcement
of the prohibition law. Don't lire
at a wild cloud, boys. Tlu* woods

Tom Watson is always looking
for old raw bead and bloody bones,
and some times lie does find a
‘hooper, but now he has jumped
at the bright light of William -J.
Hryan, which is likely to show
Thomas up. Tom has had a
warped disposition over since lie
found where he was "‘at," and
while he continues to plead fori
free silver, lie has not been able to
see the silvery lining on any cloud.
There have been intimations that
many so-called democrats will not
support lhyan. We are for the
democratic nominee, where you!
will always find us.
