WHAT Of THE WOMAN? I THE NORTH AND THE NEGRO.
“The liar is alwavs with ns” says
yesterday’s Atlanta Constitution.
If this ban any reference to the
newspaper fakirs who send eut
news from Atlanta we thoroughly
agree with our elephantine] con
temporary.
TheGriffln News extends “great
gushes of sympathy” to insulted
Commissioner Mitchell. It is
quite noticeable that the rest of
the State absolutely repudiates
Mitchell. Heisan Atlanta pro
duction, and Atlanta is laying low
an the matter j ust now.
The Albany Herald politely tells
the North Georgia Citizen not to
hereafter use the term “God’s,
country” in reference to that sec
tion of the State. As the entire
world knows, “God’s country” is
Southwest Georgia. North Geor
gia is merely an outlying province
of “God's Country,” the section
outside of the garden of Eden.
“Lady bug, Lady bug,
Fly away borne,
Your house is on fire,
Your children alone.”
This is what the children have
rang for generation past. But the
lady bug has something more im
portant to do these days, even if
her house shopld catch on fire.
She has been discovered to be the
deadly foe to the green bug, which
damages the wheat, and so' in the
West she is being corraled for that
purpose. Even the poetic little
lady bng is being put to a practical
lse in this utilitarian age.
A few months ago the pastor of
a Methodist church in New Jersey
ran off with the organist, leaving
his wife and family in destitution.
A few weeks later he returned,
having abandoned the woman with
whom he had gone to some west
em town. He came back to pro
fess penitence, to be received and
forgiven by bis wife and the
church—for who can forbid
forgiveness to the man who has
repented and is sorrowful? But
what of the woman? Was there
any welcoming hand extended to
her, any forgiving and forgetting
of the dark stain upon her life,
any desire expressed to help her
and strengthen her and receive
her once more into the old fold
that she,too,might once more walk
the straight and narrow path of
Christian rectitude? No.
A few days ago the rector of the
fashionable Episcopal church at
Hempstead, Long Island, eloped
with a seventeen year old girl,
under circumstances that were,
peculiarly atrocious, involving,
as they did, the betrayal of the
most sacred trust that could be
imposed in any man.
The report comes that the pair
have been arrested at Saranac
Lake. It is to be hoped that such
is the case. Were it not so it
would be but a few fleeting weeks
before the poor girl, abandoned as
was the woman who fled with the
New Jersey clergyman, would find
that her love was bnt as the ashes
of the Dead Sea fruit, that the
wages of such sin are not only
shame and scorn bnt speedy deser
tion by the betrayer on whom the
floods of an illicit passion have
been poured.
It will be interesting to watch
this case. Perhaps the man may
be prosecuted and imprisoned.
Perhaps not. Like the New
Jersey minister he may yet profess
penitence, pray for pardon, be
received once more into the
communion of his old as
sociates and bis family. Bat
what of the girl? Ah, that is the
pitiful part of it. Do what she
will, torn with anguish though
her soul mav be, suffering ten
thousand times the mental
suffering that befalls the man,
realizing too fully the grievousness
other terrible sin, the world will
have marked her with its finger of
condemnation. Though no scarlet
letter will adorn her bosom the
world will never forget the story
of her downfall. Whispered
spoken alond, it will go with her
through life. The man’s punish
meut may be soon over, bat that
of the girl will cease only
when the grave has closed upon
her body, sinless though her life
from now on may be.
Well may one ask,in every such
instance, “What of the woman?”
It is in such eases that the pitUul
weakness of the world’s Christian
charity is most bitterly exempli
fled.

The Modesty of Women
Naturally makes them shrink from tbs
Indelicate questions, the obnoxious ex
aminations, and unpleasant local treat
ments, which some physicians consider
essential In the treatment of diseases of
women. Yet, If help can bo had, It Is
better to submit to this ordeal than lot
Urodlsenie grow and spread. The trouble
Is that so often the woman undergoes all
litie annoyance and shame for nothing.
Thousands of women who have been
sored by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Proscrip
tion write In appreciation of the cure
which dispenses with the examinations
and local treatments. There Is no other
medicine so sure and safo for doltcate
women as "Favorite Proscription." It
cures debilitating drains. Irregularity and
female weakness. It always helps. It
almost always cures. It Is strictly non
alcoholic, non - secret, all Its Ingredients
being printed on its bottle-wrap per; con
tains no deleterious or habit-forming
drugs, and every native medicinal root
entering into Its composition has the full
endorsement of those most eminent In the
several schools of medical practice. Some
of these numerous and stron&st of pro
fessional endorsements of Its Ingredients,
will be found In a pamphlet wrapped
around tho bottle, also In a booklet mailed
free on request, by Dr. B. V. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N. Y. These professional en
dorsements should have far more weight
than any amount of the ordinary lay, or
non-professional testimonials.
The mo3t Intelligent women now-a-days
Insist on knowing what they take aa mod-
tedne Instead of opening their mouths like
a lot of young birds and gulping dowr
whatever Is offered them. "Favorite Pro
scription" Is of known composition. It
makes weak women strong and tick
women well.

Slowly bat sorely the North is
walking up to the fearful in
adequacy of the punishment im
posed in that section of country
on rapists.
Pennsylvania, New Jersey,Ohio
and other States have in the past
year or two had several cases of
outrages on white women by
negro brntes. In none of those
States is the death penalty imposed
by the existing law. In each of
them there is apnnishment of im
prisonment probably less than can
be imposed on a highwayman or
burglar.
The advent of large numbers of
dissolute, worthless and abandoned
negroes in the vicinity of the large
cities is binging about a condition
similar to that existing in some
sections of the South. In Phila
delphia it is dangerous for white
women anaccompanied to go
throught beautiful Fairmount
Park, or at least to. venture off its
crowded paths. Several outrages
and attempts have occurred in that
magnificent pleasure ground
the people. 4
Only last week, in New Jersey
a negro attemped to assault a young
white girl. Her screams Saved
her and led to the immediate cap
tore of the brute. He was tried
at once and sentenced to twelve
year in the penitentiary. The
Philadelphia Press, edited by
Charles Emory Smith, postmaster
general under McKinley, one of
the staunchest Republican organs
in the country, says in this con
nection:
“Yet,what what is a twelve-year
sentence besides his attempt at
crime? In eight to ten years his
term will expire, reduced by
“good behavior.” His fine of
$3,000 will keep him awhile Ion
ger, but no State imprisons a man
Indefinitely for a a fine.
Twice before this brnte is re
ported to have made like attempts
such as has now befallen an inno
cent girl, happily saved from the
fate before her. With a man
brnte like this, whom a little
liquor makes a crazed fiend, can
anyone give a good reason why a
repetition of his crime should not
be made impossible? A previous
record of evil exists in almost every
one of these cases. Why leave a
man-brute able to repeat his offense
when he has once shown he is
man brnte?”
The scales are dropping off
Northern eyes now that they are
having a taste of conditions that
the South has had to face all these
years. It will not be many years,
with outrages, murders, burglaries
and others crimes being committed
by negroes there in a degree
enormonsly disproportionate to
their numbers that the bitterness
of feeling against them will he
intensified and the greatest riots
against negroes ever known will be
seen in one or more of the large
northern cities.
Is it not time that the leaders
among the negroes got earnestly to
work to save their race. The
straws shows the way the wind
blows. Such editorials as now
seen in northern and western
papers show too plainly that there
will never be the same patience
there with the negroes that has
been shown in the South. The
white race, North South, East or
West, will never tolerate crimes
against virtue, life and property
such as so many idle negroes are
inclined to perpetrate.
