a.» second claxti w*il matter,
gu long ns such black crimes are
committed ns the ono committed
at Palnit tto last week by the ne¬
gro Sam Hose, mobs will be formed
to wreak death in its direst forma
if need be upon the perpetrators.
Governors may offer rewards of
thousands of dollars and do every¬
thing else to stop lynching*; the
press and pulpit may inveigh
against them ; the people of the
north may weep over the alleged
wrongs of the southern negroes,
but let such a dastardly crime be
committed in his <>w i town and
among his own family, and your
gu\ ernor, your < alitor, your preach¬
er, and your i tort horn man with
the tender heart and hair trigger
tear machine—any of them will
grab liis gun and join in the mob,
if he has in Yii; soul the least spark
of manhood, ft is bettor, of
Course, to catch t he brute and have
him tried and hung by the law.
But who is going to do this? Cer¬
tainly not the father, brother rel¬
ative, or friend of tho man thus
brutally murdered, nor of his wife
who is thus assaulted among her
screaming babes and by the bleed¬
ing body of her murdered husband.
General Gates, of the Ellijay
Courier, acknowledged some time
ago that he “useter write poetry.”

warm climate of Cuba.
There are now offered for the
capture of Sam Hose, the 1’almetto
murderer, rewards aggregating
$1,250. The governor offers $600,
the Atlanta Constitution $500and
the citizens of Palmetto $250. '

The South is less prosperous
than tliy East and the West.
While the newspapers are saying
that prosperity has come, the peo¬
ple of the South, except in spots,
arc wondering on what the state¬
ment is based. The reason that
the South does not realize that
the country is more prosperous
than it was a year or two ago is
that she is almost wholly an agri¬
cultural section, and her chief
crop is cotton, and as everybody
kn * , the price of cotton is so

There is nothing that concerns
the public more than education.
It is the one thing that every pu-
rent wants his child to have.
What constitutes an education is

Education is enlightenment, but
it does not necessarily make* a man
upright and honest. Some
the biggest rascals, forgers and
are highly educated. Ed¬
ucation but enables them to be
more skillful and cunning, with
to deceive, cover and con¬
Tho practical uses of an educa¬
tion is where civilization, advance¬
ment and population increases,
making competition of all kinds
of business and professions more
intense. Then it is the best men¬
tal development and acquistion of
knowledge comes into play in its
most beneficial condition and be-
stowment. Special aptitude for a
given pursuit is usually accompa¬
nied by an inclination to choose
it, but natural aptitude does not
always determine the employment
of men. The best educated man
is not always the most successful.
We have seen men with common
rudiments of book learning make
up in energy what they lacked in
education, and prove successful.
On the other hand we have seen
the college graduate, destitute of
energy, prove an ignominious fail¬
ure in earning wages. An
tion to be useful must take in -the
head, the heart, in the hand, and
with these duly trained and exer¬
cised, comes the attending bless¬

The following is by an unknown
hero, but nevertheless a good way
to make money: “Take a dollar
bill and fold it several times each
way. Then unfold it and you will
find it increases. Keep the in¬
crease but send the orginal bill
to the printer who put you onto
the scheme. Then take a silver
dollar and drop it on the counter,
and notice the ring it makes.
Send the ring to your best girl
and the $1 to the printer and
everybody will be happy.”—

Election of Senators.
Exciting conditions in many
states itfi* serving to emphasize the
importance of taking the election
of senators from the legislatures
and pf0 , ’ , i g it directly in the
hands q| the people. Open brib¬
ery practiced in many, if not in
all, fhfstatcs suggests the impor¬
tance tO such action. Beautiful
as the theory of election by state
legislatures is concerned they do
not hear the proper fruit when put
into practice. Year after year we
are confronted by this abuse in
the general assemblies of the
states, and yet there is no im¬
provement. True the people may
err as they sometimes do, but it is
an error of judgment that is cor¬
rected. There is not the virtue of
an honest error but the vice of
downright criminality attaching
to the conduct of many state leg¬
islatures.
The fact that an election for
senator is contemplated is tho sig¬
nal fi'tr the arrangement for adroit
politicians to begin work upon the
legislators. It has become an
open door t.o corruption, Men
are v-d, sought for because of mer-
s-r-thev iiiid themselves,
An their schemes long in
advftg e of the occasion of an elec¬
tion
We have great confidence in the
voice and will of the people. This
is a people’s government and it
shouts be entrusted directly to
their hands as far as possible.
Much of the incompetency now
existing in our national senate is
due to the fact that the men have
worked thsir ways, by unbecom¬
ing means, into the seats once oc¬
cupied by the best men that the
country could afford.
Look d at squarely, there is no
possibh objection lying against
the expression of the popular
choioe of senators, while there are
many objections to be raised
against the other method.—Hnr-
mony Grove Citizen.

Eliminating The Negro Vote.
What is going to be the outcome
os tbc movement in the southern
spates to eliminate the negro from
polith *? That is a question ihat lias,
a3 yet, Received very little attention.
As far we have noticed it has not
even been referred to in those States
which ; havo adopted c institutions
which practically put the ballot box
wholyin the hands of the white i
people.
These States are Louisiana, Miss¬
issippi, and South Carolina. On
Wednesday last the Democratic nar-
ty of Alabama adopted resolutions
making the proposed constitutional
convention a party measure. The
first of the resolutions adopted con¬
tained the following: “Wo favor
the holding of a constitutional
ventiou for the purpose of so regu¬
lating the right to vote as to perpet¬
uate the rule of the white man in
Alabama.” It is expccled iliat
North Car lira will change her eon-
in the very r ear future,
with the view of getting rid of tgno-
rant negro voters. It is not imuro-
able that other Southern States will
follow the policy adopted, or in the
process of adoption, by the States
mentioned.
It is admitted that the negro vote,
which is cast almost wholly for the
Republican party in national elec¬
tions, helps to keep the South solidly
Democratic When that vote ceases
to be a factor of the political situa¬
tion, will the South continue to be
solidly Democratic? Will the vast
majority of those who are now Dem¬
ocrats continue to be Democrats?
Will not the new issues which are
arising all the time bring into exis¬
tence adother strong party in the
South composed of white men?
Notwithstanding the danger appre¬
hended from the negro vote", the
Populist party gained a strong foot¬
hold in every Southern State. If a
second white man’s party was started
and became strong while the negro
was in full possession of the ballot,
wkat will be the result when the ne¬
gro voter is eliminated?—Ex.
