against the decision of tjje New York
Presbytery in the matter o^the trial of
Dr. Briggs for herrsy, and the trial will

The Assembly of the Southern Pres
byterian church closed Ua session at Hot

day's session the wine question was taken
up, with a majority report for fermented
grape juice for use in the sacrament, and
a minority report for unfermented grape
juice.
Where are the Valdosta Videtts? We
have heard frequent news from the
neighborhood of that flourishing village
that Waycroas was noted as an unheal
thy place, yet.our Rifles were well to
the man, and the Videtts evidently car
ried with them the germs of malarial
poison.
The country is presented this week
with the spectacle of a large percentage
of the press of Georgia engaged in
terminating from the face of the earth.
Col. C. C. Post and his wife.
They are accused of being atheists and
anarchists, which they promptly deny.
IW. Whitley, of Ihtuglasville, is their ac-
ctuer and stands sponsor for the
of “emissary of Satan" as applied to Mrs.
Post.
Has not the press of Georgia been
trifle premature in thus assailing the
character of Mrs. Post, however objec
tionable her politics, on no more sub
stantial ground than -the statement
her avowed enemy 1
When Mrs. I*ost asserts that she and
her husband are neither atheista nor
archists we believe she speaks the truth,
for we never heard of a man or woman
who had lost faith in God ami
was only too ready to avow
whtdesome tenets.
Mr*. Post only confesses to two counts
in the indictment, she says she hi* made
speeches against the Democratic party
and she has not denied being a mental
scientist.
Until something more criminal than
thia la prom* by Dr. Whitley we assert
that the press is not justified in its viru
lent attack on a woman’s character !
Is it undertaken as a religious wai
only a political fight ? And whichever
it h, will the crusade reflect any credit
on Georgia journalism ?
The editor of the HKftJU.n does not
hold Col. Pott's political views, nor Mrs.
Ptoat's peculiar convictions on spiritual
matters, but as we would defend oar own
liberty of conscience and thought, we
make this little plea (or human justice
to them.
Let not the press engage in a spiritual
lynch law, without even the semblance
of a lair trial, when we are calling for
judge and jury for even the meanest
criminals.

It la generally conceded that Way-
ctoaa should tarnish the next representa
tive from Ware in the Legislature. Col.
L. A. Wilson, Dr. J. L. Walker. V. I*.

The Savannah Morning New* aspires
to be the leading daily newspaper for
all this aection, and yet in reading its
repots from Gamp North en, ooe would
have supposed the Savannah companies
the only military there, scarcely any
thing except of lo^al interest appearing
therein. The hundreds of friends of the
Waycroas Rifles who are readers of the
Nears throughout this section, looked to
its columns daily for some report of our
gallant soldier boys, but in vain. Why
they were thus ignored, whether from
prrjudicr or envy, the Rifles standing
second best and bidding Cur to become
the best company in the State, is hard
to tell. Certain it i* our hoys deserved
better treatment at the han«l» of the
News correspondent, and in future the
manager of that able daily should see to
it that our people aud section are treated
with roorr consideration. The following
from the Atlanta Constitution of Sunday
is in striking contract with the narrow
course of the New*:
There are fifteen companie* in vamp.
Among these the Waycros* Rifles have
held a prominent |*Mitioo on account of
their proficiency in military matters,
and their jovial bou comradeship. It is
to be greatly regretted that they are
forced to shorten their atay in camp.
They are granted leave of alisence to
morrow l»y the Governor on account of
irgent business calling them home.
The Rifles stand second best of any
company iu the State under imqiection
of IJeutenant Satterlee. Captain J.
Mel*. Farr commands this company and
is very proud of the record they have
made. The company his been organ

The Uaajt«r from Old Drink*.
“In my opinion.’* said a physician,
Ht is not so great a mistake to indulgo
in cold drinks in warm weather as it is
to drink them rapidly On a hot day it
is almost inevitable that people should
drink, and what the system seems to
crave is something cold. IMtlint some

it would be so much the better. But it

when two wildcats sprang from the
bonghs of a hemlock tree. One lauded

other dropped iuto the bottom of the
carriage aud fastened its teeth in the
flesh of the doctor's legs.
A dehjierate struggle ensued, in which
the doctor, from loss of blood and
strength, became unconscious. In an
inside pocket of his coat the doctor car
ried a small medicine case. Daring the
straggle this fell out and attracted the
attention of the cat. which began to claw
it and tear it with Us teeth. In doing
so it broke a bottle of chloroform and

A fanner passing over the road some
time later found the doctor unconscious
