Atlanta, Georgia The Testimony on Disfran chisement. LIFE ON A WARSHIP. Wliy (lir Men Are Allowed to lni*nl(« In Athletic Sport*. To sop a thirteen inch gun lomlod and fired is a sight not to he forgotten. The projectile is thirteen inches in diameter, about three feet in length and weighs 1,100 pounds. The powder l charge for target practice is 250 pounds. The cost for eacli Bliot is about $500. When all Is ready on the range the signal siren sounds, there la a blinding Hash, a roar like thunder and n jarring shock. Then you hoar the whining screech of the shell, for all the world like a fast express round ing a sharp curve. The projectile It visible almost from the time It leaves the gun. You see It rip through the target and strike the water beyond, throwing up a column of liquid many feet high. The shell skips, much like the flat stone “skipper" of our boy hood, and again a column of water shoots up two miles or more farther lout, to be repeated time and again. Surely, surely, in such an over- The shell in its flight can bo watched Without tlie aid of glasses for eight miles or niorc in clear weather. While the life of a sailor, from cap tain down to apprentice, Is an almost continual round of work, some time Is found for athletic sports, such as boat racing, football and baseball. The Object of tills is to give the men rec reation and at the same time to foster the spirit of competition. Besides, it makes the men easier to manage. The ship with a strong football or baseball comes almost if not altogether , tay w ‘ m n ' ot * an J cannot, and' ,°, r , tl,( : f " Htost , '' flco hon ‘ • r • . , invariably lias a happy and oust, should not, weigh for a moment nuumKe d crew-a crew that will swei great central^ object that its officers are the finest men the world, and likewise the officers swear by such a crew. Some ships have training tables for their athletic teams, the expense usually being de frayed by llio officers. The team or boat crew, as the case may lie, Is pelted by the officers and Idolized by the crew, and for some time before a hard contest the men aro excused from various duties In order thnt they may give more time to trululng. Every battleship and cruiser lias its race boat, purchased by contributions from officers nml men. The prices paid for these boats is, ns a rule, eontlngeut Louisiana, or Arkansas, or Missis- upou their winning certain specified rnces. The builders are wllllug to take a chance, knowing that, the crow will do Its best to win. For a winning boat the price is often as much ns $1,000, while for n boat that proves less speedy tho builder will accept $500 or less. On tile result of a fleet boat race as much as $;10,000 has been known to change bands, and large sums are also wagered on baseball and footbull games. This is, of course, contrary to the letter of the regulations; but the sporting instinct is nH strong in the navy as elsewhere—and it is not always possible to hold down the lid.—Leslie's Weekly. It is a matter of more than or dinary significance that! in the fividuals straining effort which Tlbe Con stitution makes to stem the cy clone of sentiment which is sweep ing the state for disfranchisement of the negro, that the testimony whelming mass and might of com prehensive and crystal testimony, .he theoretical speculation of it - however honest and | lowever capable, must fall r.s eathers in the scale of popular .udgment. A thousand columns if theory such as our esteemed ontemporary exploits from day 10 from the ranks of private and un official citizens, most of them liv ing in Georgia and some of them touched with the alignment of the present campaign. While on the other hand stands the overwhelming testimony of a magnificent array of statesmen, publicists, officials and citizens who are alive and in vital touch with the great question which we are seeking to discuss in Georgia. The individuals in different sec tions of this and other states who are writing the articles which The Constitution blazons in swelling columns, are doubtless honest and sincere and are entitled to the full liberty of their convictions, and to full credit for what they have to say. But they do not weigh, and can not weigh, against the splendid company of the most representa tive and thoughtful statesmen and practical business men of the times who speak from the heart of the question which we have in debate. Against these individuals in Georgia who write of disfranchise ment in North Carolina, we have the strong and convincing testi mony of the rugged and impres sive patriot who is the present governor of that state. We have the shining words of Governor Ay- cock, who holds high rank among the foremost statesmen and pat riots of the South and of the re public. We have the testimony of a long line of distinguished pub lic men in North Carolina who know whereof they speak and who watch and report as faithful pub lic servants the issues and the re sults of their own great experi ments. In South Carolina we have the clean and able testimony of a governor whose administra tion is the most notable that the Palmetto State has known in 20 years. We have the testimony ot that strong and rugged senator from South Carolina, whose per sonality has impressed itself in power upon the republic. lhe same testimony comes from Ala bama and from Louisiana. In Mississippi the one official of national injport whom the oppon ents have been able to rally to their support is .senator Money, honest and capable, but a theore tical student rather than a practi cal man of affairs. Against him stand the great figures of the pres ent forceful governor and that great practical statesman, John Sharp Williams, who is the rec ognized leader . -nd exponent of Democratic policy if not of South ern sentiment in the national capi- tol. The editor of The News, just returned from a trip through the states of Arkansas, Mississippi Louisiana, has made it a Doint to talk in those states^/ ith the solid representative men who stand for the civilization and the better sentiment of those common wealths. And igainst the lesson which stands up from these sister states of ours clear, distinct, (verwhelming and conservative to tie common sense and the com mon judgment of Georgia. There is not a man in the whole theoretical array who would be bold enough to declare for one hioment that after these years of tv-ial either North Carolina, or South Carolina, or Alabama, or l sippi could muster up even a re spectable minority to vote for the abolition of the disfranchisement statues which have liberated and redeemed the politics of those splendid commonwealths. The Constitution is butting its hqad against a stone wall in this mutter. It is fighting a foregone conclusion. The people of Geor gia are going to vote disfranchise ment by the mightiest majority thiit they have ever given to a so cial question in this generation. W» regret that the editor of The Constitution has taken a position against this foreordained event.We lov e the editor ot The Constitu The End of tho World.
