The New Orleans Lynching.
The New Orleans grand jury
which has for six wee as been en-
gaged in iuve*tigstiug the lynching
of the Italians, discovered no fact*
which warrant indictment* aguniet
any of the lynchers. Tins is just tke
verdict that the people expected.
The Brunswick Times is now en¬
deavoring to show how unrighteous
was the murder of the Italians and
dishonorable the verdict of the
grand jury.
I.aw and order, “equal and exact
justice to all people,” is a part of the
political faith of this great American
republic Especially do wc of the
Southern States hold these princi¬
ples dear; for them our fortunes have
been sacrificed and the bes,t blood of
the South shed.
Th* people make the government
and ih*y are **j immeasurably greater
than it, as the creator is greater than
the created/
When the institutions of a free
eudn for which they were- creat'd,
the people who stand back of them
must see that justice iy done. This
is what the people of New Orleans
did. A brave, liberty-loving people
could not do less.
Hennessey was but one of
many brave men who had been
cowardly assassinated. The courts
of law were allowed to take
th«ir course and they had failed in
ctaahng out justic*. The lives of
brave mcn wore jeopardized. The
peae* and order of a great oil.v, and
tha libtities of a (.‘rave people were
ftt ntake. New Orleans protected
these we conscientiously l olievr, irt
a righteous way.
FOOD PRODUCTS OF THE
UNITED STATES.
John K. Leese cf Franklin Ohu
i* Belfords Magazine for May, gives
some rather startling figures in
reference to our food supply. Ac¬
cording to Mr. Rxese we tall short
of making food supply to tho extent
of $130,000,000 per annum. Tina
shortage is supplied from other Cvim-
tries, exclusive of cotton and tobacco,
about fixe per cent of our agricultural
product# are sent to foreign com.trie*;
the chief jjart consisting of wheat,
meat, ami cheese. Another alarmino*
fad, ii, that i!'« production of the
food supply per capi*. a, a; d on a given
area is gradually decreasing. The
decline in th* average production of
com pu* a*re within a few year# has
been about *20 per cent, the decline is
15 p*r cent. The decline per acre in
oats, rye, buckwheat, potatoes and
almost every food supply Us been
heavy. 1 o meet the decline per
acre, large ares* are being added
to cultivated soil every year.

7 Week.
A NOTABLE GATHERING OF BRAINY AND
AND PROGRESSIVE WOMEN OF THE
“ EMPIRE STATE OF THE SOUTH., 1
Last week was a notable week for
the gifted and cultured w =naen vf
Georgia. From the lawny Savan¬
nah to the laughing Chattahoochee,
these bright, brare Georgia women,
who of late years have contributed
so much of force, sfcreng h and
grace to G’etrg a journalism,
flocked into the Gate City,
The Woman’s Preo Club of
Georgia opens up ft wtd-j fi« ; d of
action for fa'thfui worker-. Thera
is much work to be done in tli?
cause of education and temperance,
and towards elevating the tme of
Georgia journalism, securing bet¬
ter wages for women who must be
bread-winners—many reforms that
can be best and mosi effectively ac*
complithed by the united efforts of
Georgia women who writ*! for Geor¬
gia newspapers. No one who
looked into the earnest faces of tilt
women who were assembled in the
Kimball House parlors last week, at
the second annual meeting of the
woman’s press club of Georgia,
doubted that the efforts of that
body in all laudable undertakings
would be commensurate with the
euds to be obtained.
In a large assemblage of charm¬
ing women, all of whom are origin¬
al and versatile writers no face was
brighter or more attractive than
that of Mrs. E. T. Byington, of
the Columbus Led ger and origin¬
ator and president of the woman’s
preas club. Mrs. Byington has
light brown hair, a fair and fault¬
less complexion, soft, clear gray
eyes, and a tender mouth that is
enchanting. She poasrsses the
magnetism, the indefinable charm
of personality that draws all women
to her. And she is, morerer one cl
the brightest writers and most pro¬
gressive women in the Sjuthcrii
States.
T. .SB-* T 7 -
Institute, Athens, is known and be¬
loved as a writer, all over the
South. Her charming character
sketches, and her political and
scientific articles have already won
for her an enviable reputation iu
the field of letters. She has con¬
tributed to the press many tender
poems that will be admired while a
love of verse lives in the human
heart. In person she is most gra-
eioua and attractive, possessing the
tenderest of brown eyes, silky
auburn hair, and a complexion in
which the lily and rose vie for
mastery. Miss Woodbsrry is young
and lias a brilliant literary career
before her. In that collection of
fair faces, hers was the one that
most interested and picasad the
writer, because it seemed the
strongest exponent of what a
Georgia girl is and wiia.a Georgia
girl can do.
Mrs. J. K. Uhl (Maude Andrews)
is one of the most distinguished
newspaper women of the present
time, rihe has written iu a strong
and womanly way on subjects that
are of interest to women, and her
tender bits of verse have o-one
s!rai_-ht to t'.e world s {treat hear
The woman who potsesse* a poetic
nature, fruitful imagination and
faultless diction, combii ed with
great cl aim aud beauty of .person
is surely a favorite of the gods.
Such a woman is Maude Andrews.
In speaking of her work, she said :
“A charming woman in a charm¬
ing Utter to nae the other day says
that I sometimes discuss subjects
that she would not dare to touch
upon. But everybody knows that
1 am the most faithful and loving
wife in the world and I don't
mind discussing any f-ubject.’’
“But,” we suggested, • f literary
women are not usually accredited
with being very domestic in their
tastes, and you say that you ke«p
house. I should think that you
would find hoarding pleasaucer.”
‘ 1 Y.ould rather have the coru—
forts and privileges of home life,”
:Jie continued, “in a log cabin than
to board in a grand hotel. I have
a pleasant home. Mr. Oal b ugfit
it and I furnished it. Things aie eo
dear, you know, that one earn. 1
think my unsbard is a y# y king
among mem, and I hav* a sweet
babe.” Aad while she talked chsrm-
ingly of her home life, there vas a
soft light in her expressive dark
eyes, and we could not T rget that
she is one of the class of women
' who it is declared, have no liking
I° r the the sacred duties of wife
and mother. We give in another
umn a' graphic account of thc-
: meeting of the press club from the,
pea of Maude Andrews.
Miss Quinn,, secretary oi the
press club is charming as a writer
and still more charming and grace
ful in person. She has^ woman’s
chief attractions, a gentle^jnusical
voice and a sw«et face all expres¬
sive with soul and tenderness.
, Although Tub. Tribune has
never admired the policy of tha Al-
, liance Farmer, one department of
that paper, the “Alliance House¬
hold,’' has always been interesting
and nelpful to the wives of Ge rgia
farmers. Mrs. Harry Brown is
editor of the “Alliance floumhold.”
She is a most gracious,-capable and
gifted woman as is evidenced by
her successful newspaper work.
Miss McCutohen of the Franklin
News is a progressive young wo.
man in many respects. She can
write editorials, set ty;e, take
proof, in short, she is a wide-awake,
capable young lady journalist
thoroughly acquainted witli every
department of newspaper work.
And she has a bright and attrac¬
tive face, and is interesting in con¬
versation.
Mrs. Loulie M. Gordon is well
known to tha readers of the At*
lanta Constitution. Her style of
writing is charming, and is pecu iar
to women who are kindly, sympa¬
thetic, and cultured like herself
For more than a third of a century,
the name of Gordon has been re¬
splendent with glory on tie pages
of Georgia history, and no more
gracious and capable woman ever
bore that honored name than Mrs.
Loulie Gordon. In conversation
she she said, “I am just a simule,
earnest woman, and I write because
writing is the one joy of my life”
Her life has been saddened and
darkened by soirow, and much of
her tender, touching writing is but
the mellowed and softened sympho¬
ny that follows ti e w*ii of bereave¬
ment. Oftentimes before in the
world’s history tho “thoughts that
breathe’' have come from the night
time of anguish. From the dark
night of affliction we get ihe im¬
mortal hymns of Dante. The blind
b.-' v d oi England the English will be !«™/i ««•
to eg as language is
loved and spoken; and tho sweet
Scottish singer, who received a
stone when he cried for bread, will
never die.
Mrs, Loliie Belle Wylie of “(So¬
ciety’ needs no introduction to the
people of G«oigia and the South.
For many years some of the clever¬
est work done on the Atlanta Jour¬
nal was fiom her pen. She has
been a valued contributor to many
leading journals both north and
South. And she is a lovely, ideal
Southern woman who occupies an
honored place in a galaxy of bright
literary women.
Miss Cormne S ocker, the bright
young society editor of the Atlan¬
ta Journal is probably tha most
giited of all the young women who
work on Georgia newspap*rs. A
member of tie press club said in
speaking of her “/She is the most
talented girl 1 ever knew.” Miss
Stocker is energetic, ambilous, young
and beautiful—a happy combination
of admirable qualities for a girl who
has her way to make in the liter¬
ary world.

Atlanta is just moving on and push¬
ing ahead. Its growth has been
marvelous, A little mere than a
quarter of a century ago Atlanta
was 'eft in ashes. But the peop’e set
themis.ves to the task of rearing a
prosperous city above the ruins of
war, and right nob’y Henry have they dis¬
charged it. As Grady said,
“They caught the soft sunshine and
budded it iote the ura s of their
homes.’' and they budded it too into
their lives.
* « «
There is another pleasing inci¬
dent connected with the writer's re¬
cent visit to Atlanta, which, though
irreveLnt to the subject, we can not
forbear mentioning—the strength
and inspiration of the beautiful and
imprersive May-day services, in the
the early twilight, both mom and
eve, at the church of tho 1 mmaculate
Conception. Such remem berances
are inspiriting of and tender. So
many uj have kite;is, at tho feet of
the Madonna for our divineit inspi¬
ration, for whatever grace and
strength have come to uain life and
living. -
A REMARKABLE MAN.
Ls*t wack while w« were in Atlan¬
ta, a distinguished Georgian speaking to
us of Prcf. Looney said; “Morgan Loon-
oy is one of the most remwkable men I
<>ver knew. He is a genius. I don’t think
his equal as an educator can bo found
anywhere. He is one of the most elo¬
quent and graceful speakers and writ¬
ers I have <&Y«r known. I haro met him
numbf-rless times at our Chantauquas,
and in shut brilliant array of learning
and t&lent, whosever the best in elo¬
quence, pathos or humor, was wanted,
Morgan Looney was aiwayi caded on.”
“And/ added someono who was stand¬
ing near, “It you CarnesviUo folk* want
to keep Mr. Loonsy you will have to
move around. I know of a half dozen
places vrhere they are anxious to get
him.”
We racomaaead tbea« facts to the
careful consideration ef the trustees of
our sch ool.
_
We hstvo received recently many
dattering by ns tires, both through the
pres.^ and private letters, some of
which wo hare published. It may not
bs in strict good taate to repeat compli¬
ments in praise of one’s self, but all the
have suffered so much groundless but
bitter opposition during the last twelve
or fourteen months far the tearisss ex¬
pression of opinion on questions of pub¬
lic interest, that words of cheer are
very grateful to us, and wo hope that
notices referee! to have not b*en distaste¬
ful to sur read* rs.
A Lady Journalist-
MIe* Kllcft J. Dortch, ia the editor ef the
C*rnesville’ (Ga.) Tkibunb. She is a lady of
liberal culture, educated at a Baltimore col¬
lege, and the paper oxer which she presides,
sparkles with the ecintiliaiioas of her genius,
She gires full proof not only of her ability to
run a pap*r, but of her peculiar fltnesa for the
position she occupies. Jeurnalism should at¬
tract more ladies to its sphtre than it does, and
we are pleased to know that Miss Dortch is one
of the pioneers In this noble calling. We get
her paper regularly, and always read it with
much interest. The journal oxer which she
presides, wa? established some eixtten years ago
and is a necessary fixture of Franklin county.
She, we believe, assumed editorial control and
ownership of the establishment about three
yearssinco. Lately, a rival paper called “The
Enterprise,” has sprung into existence in
Carnesville, a place of some three or fonr
huudred inhabitants and the editor, Mr. Mc¬
Connell, it seems, has sought by clandestine and
unfair means to draw away the county adrer-
tis«mej»ts which Miss Dortch has been receiving.
A lively controversy is going on in the two pa¬
pers on the subject. It is a matter of surprise
to us how any man could array himself against
a lady, xnd seek to supplant h&r praiseworthy
enterprise. To our mind, it looks ungentle-
manly and cowardly to the last degree •
And this, we are sure, will be the verdiet of
all fair-minded persons. In a late issue, Miss
Dortch excoriates her (attempted) supplanter
iu a way that must make him squirm, and
realize his unjust course. She says :
‘Now, Mr. McConnell has made the awarding
of the pub Sic printing a pretext for serving u
an article, the most offensive and repugnant,
that a man with white skin who claims to have
a heart of tho same color, can offer to a woman
who is independent, young and strong
The editor of The Tribune, is fully equal to
tha occasion, and will make her antagonist see
himself “as others see himNotasulga Ala

The American Press Association ha* issued a

News will have both next week —Grand Fork*,

Now we only fight with enrpen.
We know nothing of the merits of the con-
troversy between the Carnesviile Tkib u>*b and
Enterprise, but the manner in which the eherry-
cheeked editor of The TniBcsishas conducted
her part of the affair has been one of great ad¬
miration by the press at large. -—Dublin Post.
The Carnesviile Tbibues has recently been
added to the News exchange list, and being the
only paper in the state, we beiieT#, edited and
controlled by a lady, (a youug lady at that and
of course presumably handsome) it is read with
gTeat interest. The fair editress seems abund¬
antly able to take care of herself in the battle
of life an it is needless to add that we wish her
all ithe s ceess her talents so well deserve.
