According to the animal report
I of the prison commission of Geor¬
gia, which was issued from the
press a few days ago, nearly every
profession is represented in the
prison camps except the newspu-
oer profession.
There are doctors, preachers,
, lawyers and the like, but no
paper men. The only thing that
sounds like newspaper is n news-
j butcher who is confined at one of
liio camps.
There are seven preachers tvith-
in (he walls of the Georgia peni-
tentinry. The report does not say
j whether they are whit or black,
hut the presumption is they are
[ of the latter color.

A mob in Carlisle, fnd., lias
chased all the non-resident m-
groes from town, and the dis
patches report that all resident
negroes will be driven out. The
homes of all negroes in the
lage have been visited and - early
demolished. This assault upoo
all the negroes of a community
was incited bv the shooting of a
white man by one negro.
This illustrates the difference
between the mobs of the South
and the mobs of Indiana and Il¬
linois. Not that the action of a
mob in either section is to ho ta¬
ken as indicative of the senti¬
ment of the best people of a com¬
