No controversy of recent date is at tracting more attention and causing more thought than that which took its origin in Miss Clare DeGralTenried’s nota ble article in the last Century magazine on the subject of tho uoral and social status of the Georgia ciacker in the cot ton mill, and Mrs. Dr. Felton’s reply in the Constitution of a few days ago, fol lowed again by Miss PeGratTenreid’s re ply to her critics generally, and Mrs, Felton in particular. Apart from the interest felt In the pit ting of two such brilliant women against eacli other, the public feci deeply in- Gkoboia was not officially repro-' ln tl,e of the controversy aenteil at the Cincinnati convention. ! P" “■ because with the tpowtli of cot- Georgia and Mississippi were the only : ton manufacturing in Georgia an» tie .fates which did not take part.

In tho goodness of her heart and the philanthropy of her nature, Mrs. Felton m ¥ Du.

Nothing that was ! con( ^ on °* ^ ,e ' r operatives, over uttered on that lino surpassed it, except the hitter and sarcastic attack THE DAGNER FROM WOMEN. The venerable Dana, of the New York Nun, shows in the following humorous article the legitimate consequences of the theory of the Minnesota legislature lately attempted to be put into a law. Having arrived at an age where lie can talk a* he pleases, the public con done vagaries iu Editor Dana that would not be tolerated in younger men; hence his dissertations on all sorts of subjects In the vine that crops out so amusingly in his manner of moving the world at large and mankind in particular to be ware of women: The Minnesota bill making It. a misde meanor fora worn in to appear on the stage so dressed a* to show the “shape anti form” of her legs ought logically to go further and, exclude women from tlie stage altogether unless they give up their prese »t convi utlon nl costume. It should do even more, snd forbid them to show themselv s iu any pub- lie p’act whatsoever, The customary draperies worn by women ureso arruiged as to exhibit the shape and form of their physical proportions an I more particularly of ths.r arms, bus's and hips. Tliev also make it evident to every observer that women have legs, and the shape of ;se Is indicated by the shape ot tn*» arms fully revealed. Frequently in walking and always In dancing there Is an actual ex hibition of ankles, at least Hence, whether women wc.irttght* or thelrconventionai and ery day costume, they do r.ot conceal that they have l«*g<, but always either suggest the existence of *uch n-ther lunhs as a part of their physical conformation or make it plainly visible. Th-»ydonot hhle the fact, and therefore, according to the Impllcat'on ofthe Minnesoto bill, th *y are a'l “guilty of open and gross lewdne-s and lascivious be havior.” That Is the vjew which the Turks, for In stall. c, lake of tho women of Christendom generally. They agree wi:h the tlie irnpiica- tlon ofthe Minnesota m> <»ns. Accordingly they reqoPo their own women to go about dressed in bags which crucial all the out lines of the feminine tigu e. They also com. pel thorn when abroad to veil their faces and when nt home to remain apart from the BEgLL & OAKLEY, 313 LAMAR STREET, observation of a'l i bi i ds. The e ept their hus- mado by Blaine upon Conkling under Rlmilar circumstances about twenty years ago. Tub llow of gold to Europe is in great er volume than was anticipated when tho outgo began, hut there seems to be n> reason for alarm. Wo have tho larg- 4 it stock of the metal in the world and there Is a sharp demand for It in Eu rope, owing to the bad financial situa tion ever there. Gold will stop going when it is worth as much for immediate use In this country as In Europe. When the crops begin to go forward, the gold twill come hack again, in all probability. Kansas proposes to raise $100,000 by 'popular subscription to make a proper 'exhibit at the-World’s fair. Secretary Simms, of tho bureau of promotion of the undertaking of that state, reports that the movement is going ahead in a most encouraging manner and lie has no reason to doubt that the money will ho raised. And so do tho reports come from nearly every stato where tho legis lature failed to mako an appropriation. Every state should feci* a pride in this great international show. Tub appointment of General Manager Gabbott of tho Central railroad as gen eral manager of the Macon and Northern railway, announced In Sunday Morning’s News, is regarded as an Indication that the road will soon ho controlled by the 0Mitral. Tho road was formerly the Macon and Covington. Its officers are: President, Alexander Brown, of Balti more; treasurer, A. Craig Palmer, of At lanta; general manager, Cecil Gabbett, of Savannah; directors, Alexander Brown ami Skipwith Wilroer, of Haiti more; Robert L. Harrison, of New York | condition of their operatives. Does Mrs. Felton really expect mill officials to tell her, for publication, the unvarnished truth about tho morals ? Supposo that a considerable number of the men wero drunkards and tho women of lax virtue, and a mill superintendent should say so in plain words; what would ho the result of a publication of such statements ? The mill would have no end of trouble with its operatives, and no sensible of ficial would state tho facts however had they might he. Tho fact Is, tho morality of these un fortunate people Is hardly on a par with tlielr intelligence and cultivation, and the observation of scores of people who have lived In factory towns and aro well acquainted with the inside of this ques tion, goes far to provo that Mrs. Felton’s views aro largely erroneous and that her zeal is not according to knowledge. It is to ho regretted that tho facts arc against Mrs. Felton, for it would ho better for tho country and for society if her information was based on facts which, unfortunately, It Is not Tho public will watch with growing intorost tho continuation of this contro versy betweon these two brilliant ladies, for from It much truth is likely to ho olaboratod, which may result In some movement to benefit this class of peo ple, whose lot is far from an enviable ono. TIIE SLIPPERY STATESMAN. I)ld you over consider just what tho exact status of Mr. Blaine, of Maine, is in the public estimation ? When he is sick, then Is ho well; and when ho is in earnest, then is he per petuating a joke on somebody. Mr. Blaine, in this respect, is the most anomalous character in American poli tics. With all his distinction and his brilliant thirty years’ career in public w! Clwokly Sliaw’ of BaitVaiore;"p»t lifo ' 0Ve p bod J' him. none so Calhoun, A. C.

Perhaps no better example of Mac Tiik Timkh-Rki oicdkh acknowledges ! the receipt of tho fifth annual report of' the New York Southern Society, which havellian diplomacy in politics has ever contains, among other matters of inter-i appeared in this country than the brtl- «st, a report of the fifth annual banquet Rant down-caster, who in spito of his and the speeches of various distin- unquestioned ability, has always man- guished gentlemen thereat.

Brunawick feels a good .leal of interest in the policy of the new management as the welfare of the city is closely identified with the Brunswick company, which owns nearly a million dollars worth of property there. The Georgian wounded the count and then skipped ont without revealing his identity. Tub Timbs-Bkcoboeii ven tures tho guess that the unknown Geor gian was either Elder hiving.ton, Par son 8am Small or Statesman Tom Watson, 'r‘VT>‘i ^ ■’rfr i > - ('ll* 1st Inns, or Christians of Die i-econd arc! third centuries, w»re verj much o' tin* min** mind. “Natural grace,’ savs r<*itulllan,“mnst heobliterat d bv con ce intent or negligence, ns being dnngerou to the glances of th - beholder’s eyes. Let he; lie entirely covered, unless site happen to bt at home.” A woman was only to quit her own house when visiting the sick or golngto church, and then she was required to go cloudy veiled, so that not an inch of her face should he revealed even when site was at prayer. 8ho was forbidden to adorn herself In any way, for adornment, of course, pro. voked »nd wa* intended to provoke observa tion. Hhe was sdmon<8hcd to make of her- telf as much of a guy as possible, *o that she should bo rcpulsi e to the sight rather than agreeable. She was not to go abroad for pleasure, and she was not to go to the thea- ties and public places. Instead of seeking to wtn the admiration of men, she was Joined to strive to atone for the crime of her mother Eve, who brought sin into tlie world by her temptation of man. Clement,of Alex andria, bade her reflect with shame “of what, nature she is.” The views was that a wo man Is necessarily K temptress because sho Is a woman; and that accordingly she ought to keep out of sight ns far as poftsih’e. That U more consistent than merely to for- 111 women to wear tlgh's in any public place. Ifltls immoral and indecent for them to show their legs, they ought not to show any part of themselves. They ought not to at tract tho gaze and tho admiration of mon anywhere, under any o rcnmstances, or by »ny moans. If they am beautiful, they ough* all tho more to hide their features' Moreover, tights are not necessarily a pro- vocal Ho costume. A fully’ draped woman mny make a far more alluring exposure of herself than a ballet dancer do**s. If sho Is I'Miiodestnt heart, long dresses will not pre vent tho display of her shamelessness, but rather sssl-t It. Therefore the Minnesota bill )s not a suffi' e'ent measure of prohibition. It will not prevent the mischief. A more etrectaal way would bo to shut women up and only let them out after dark and so clothed as to hide every’ attractive feature. Even then, alas! we fear that their artfulness would invent some method of exercising the sway of their bonuty over tne hearts of men. Tiikke aro rumors that there will be surprises in the Florida senatotiu) con test this week. It is to be hoped that tlioy are true. Tho people of Florida are about tired of tho contest in its present shape. It i* monotonous, and the country outside of Florida has lost all interest in it. Call has neither gained nor lost any ground worth mentioning during the last two or three weeks. He still has a majority of the caucus, and, if the two-thirds rule wore abolished, he would he elected at once.
