To criticise the management of the
state sanitarium,to attempt to discredit
the correctness of the alienists em
ployed there, to endeavor to refute any
statement made at the hearing
given Geo. H. (Bell in Milledgeville
Wedneadav is not the purpose of this '
sketch. There is no doubt but that the
men, the medical expert) in attendance
at the state sanitarium, are honest in j
their opinions and conscientious in the 1
statements they made to the iurv. But |
the public, the men on the outside,those
who listented to the recital of the case ‘
with unflagging interest, are of the
" i Geo. H. Bell should ha-
been [released. This is undoubtedly
public sentiment, openly expressed.
As a matter of fact- the public are of
the opinion that the testimony of the
experts, with the possible exception of
one incident, was to effect that Bell
was sane. So consequently there is
really no reflection on the evidence, or
the management of the institution. On
the other hand there are many people
disposed^to criticise the opinion of the
jury as rendered by their verdict. It
is quite a different thing to te out in
the audience, for when a juror stands
in his place he often sees things in a
different light and must weigh evidence
in the balance that knows no flaw. These
men of Milledgeville stood up to their
duty as they saw it, despite the fact
that they must have known public opin
io 1 n id sentiment would be against
them.
This trial is over, Bull goe3 back for
tho time being, but there are many con
vinced that he will be liberated sooner
or later. This is a matter of opinion
that muy bo erroneous. But be thut as
it may let the public in this matter keep
up tho cause of right and in the end all
will come out well. In the meantime
criticisms on the jury, or any phase of
tho case are out of the question', for in
placing lone’s self in the .position oc
cupied by either of the parties at in
terest in the case it is doubtful If there
would have been one slight difference
in tho action taken throughout the
whole.
Tho conflnment of a man in the state
sanitarium who in sane and' healthy
ust be something beyond description.
ut if this be true of Bell he can stand
it a few days longer’ as ho appears to
have stood it remarkably well during
the past two years, or more.

JOE BROWN’S INAUGURATION.
Concerning the inauguration of Gov-
'eraor-elect Jos. M. Brown, of Georgia,
the Augusta Herald, which paper was a
warm supporter of Hoke Smith, has
th« following to say in an editorial:
“Mr. Brown has indicated that he
wishes the inauguration to bo simple.
He doesq’t want any pageantry, no
grent parade, no show to ape royalty
such as is growing more and more to
be the custom in inaugurating presi
dents and governors. He has given his
friends distinctly to understand that his
induction into office is to be marked by
no fanfare or b’are of trumpets, but
that it is to bo n simple ceremonial, be
coming a democratic form of govern
ment.”
“In making this announcement Mr.
Brown is to le commended. It will be
a good beginning for his administration.
It will be an indication that there will
be no idle show, no waste of effort, no
hollow sham, but that his administra
tion is to be business-like and democra
tic." •"*
“Well decided, Mr. Brown. Stick to
this. Throughout your administration
let this be the keynote of your action,
and you will have the people behind you.
Your administration wilt be a blessing
to the state, and Little Joe will be es
teemed by the people as one of the big
gest governors the state has had.”
SUBSCRimON TIKE AGAIN.
This is the season when most of the
subscribers of The News come and
bring, or send us a dollar. It amounts
to only a little bit to each subscriber,
but. Dear Reader, you are the grains of
sand making The NewB what it is today.
A whole lot of the readers can stay
away and not send in the dollar and we
will feel it. Suppose a whole thous
and of them are that way, and they
are, you know it causes us to feel sore
ly the necessity of asking for a little
assistance in this respect, but we are
sure no one will take offense, for the
reqpest is not personal, though made to
the individual.
We want this little expression, of
appreciation, this token that encourages
one to give the best in heart and soul to
to the cause of the public, to come from
every reader who really, wants a good
paper. We are going to give our time,
our highest aims, our best thodghts to
this paper. We believe in it because
we believe in this citv this county, this
section and this state.
Give us a little help, extend your aid
and in return we will devote every
dollar to making a bigger and better
paper. This is no! a demand, it is not
even an appeal, but a straight, plain
story that surely will bring response.
There are other bills besides the amount
due for subscription that a paper must
always carry and in this connaction it is
icedless to state that attention to those
details always is necessary.

SUMMER TIME IN WINTER.
Those who can tell us about-
“One morning fifty years ago,
When apple trees were while wit* 1
fragrant blossoms-”
May*bo able to recall weather like that
which has prevailed in Georgia during
the entire winter, but folk who can
scarce recall events of only twenty
years ago are nonplussed when they
endeavor to determine the cause, or to
forecast tho ultimate outcome of con
ditions which have existed during the
past few months. Winter has actually
entered its decline, as the season is
counted, and yet in many sections ot
Georgia the reports are to the effect
that spring grasses are growing and in
many instances cotton and other sum
mer plants arc growing luxuriant.
It is told that here in Baldwin county
there inay be found some old cotto#l
stalks putting forth new foliage and
the tender blossoms are showing u
This is the condition today, but of
course the time is at hand when a sud
den change may blight all prospects of
a continuance of the growth. In Mil-
iedgeville the trees are budding, th
grass and clover covers the ground ir.
many places, the scars of earth are
being healed by the coatings of green,
the birds are singing a spring carol, tho
farmers are beginning to think of real
active work, the heart of mania turning
toward higher things, the lad and lass
are delighting in fresh blown flowers
that come only in the spring time-love
time.
But serciously speaking it seems that
unless the unpurallelled conditions con
tinue through the remainder of the
winter the welfare of the country is
greatly endangered, for the peach crop
is advancing beyond its proper stage
at this tim os the year and the killing
of the buds means tho loss of millions
to Georgia. Later on, too, may come
the blighting cold, which will affect the
cotton and other crops during the spring
when balmy, sunshiny days should pro
vail.
Still after the time of danger has
elapsed there will be the same good old
times in Georgia and in Baldwin county
