Time was when “go West young map'’ was thought to be good ad vice, and nine-tenths of those seek ing new fields of operation, turned their faces to the setting sun. Of late years, however, the order of things have changed, and instead of the old injunction we now hear the advice on all sides “go south young man,” and thousands today have cause to congratulate them eelves that they were thus advised.

The negroes bad a picnic down near the holiness camp ground, Saturday and there was not a single row nor was there any drunkness on the grounds. Such conduct is highly commendable, and will meet the approval of all lovers of peace and good order. There will be no lawsuits nor trouble grow out of it as at the High Falls. It does not cost a cent, for defense, to do right, It seems the negro problem is solving itsself. Cheap whiskv, a ninety cent pistol and the cowards and fools who carry them, is a shame to civ ilization. THE RED MEN IN COUNCIL. As stated in our local column tie noble Red Men of Georgia have been in council this wees in Macon. Cos). Y. A Wright of Jackson, the Great Sachem presided. The meeting was in deed a pleasant and instructive one and many measures for the benefit and advancement of the order were adopted. One of the leading measures put forth at this meeting,in ouropiu lon. was the providing for the estab lishment of an Orphans Home. The order in Georgia has grown to ex tensive proportions and the plan of erecting a home for the orphans of deceased members if it can he made a success, aud we see no reason why it should not be, will give it an ad ditional impetus that perhaps nothing else could. We will write more ex tensive articles in these columns in fu ture issues. Mclntosh Tribe was again honored by the election of Past Great Sachem Wright to represent Georgia in the LA S. Council which meets in lowa in September and also iu putting others of our members an important commit tees. TO HIGH FALLS. - On Saturday morning abeut 9 o’clock a gentle tap on our office door called “ye editor” hence when we were greeted by friend Dr. C. A. Butner with an invitation to take a seat in his buggy for a ride to the High Falls picnic. It is well known that an editor takes all with in his grasp.so we willingly accept ed the kind offer and hied a way be hind a dashing steed to the noted pleasure resort. We arrived about 11 o’clock aid found a large crowd already gathered. As usual the crowd had assembled under the spreading bough of the large oaks in the grove on the hill where a pa villion had been erected where those who wished could trip the light fantastic to their heaits content, A band composed of one violin and a rickety tambourine made the music while the rustics “balanced all and swung their ‘partners/” At the noon hour a hundred baskets were opened the hundreds of happy people gathered in groups and en joyed a dinner as none but Georgi ans seem to knowhow'. We accepted an invite from Messers Will Allen and B. F. Watkins with their inter esting families to dine. The repast consisted of broiled ham, baked fowl dressed in many tasteful styles, different varieties of breads, pies cakes etc. in greatest piofusion. All of which was enjoyed to the ful lest extent and our many thanks are extended. The afternoon was spent as the forenoon: in viewing the beautiful cataracts, dancing etc. while soj and sweet words of love werewhis pered under closely drawn umbrel as and in shady nooks along the love frought stream. But alas, the scene was marred on every side by drunken men, and bad language, until pistols was drawn by reckless young men and wildly fired into crowds of innocent people. One man, Mr. Jack Goins,was killed out right and several others seriouslv wounded. As to the origin of the “fuss” there was none, more than a full supplv- of red Lquor and the fool bravery of a few wild young men. The writer left however, at 1:30, before any disturbance and not so unfortunate as to witness it, Thus ended the great High Falls picnic on May 6th and it would be a God send if it was the finis of the thing forever ! One man. who had a large family often children, dead, four others wounded and several familes wrecked and ruined ! Cer tainly all decent people will stay away hereafter.
