We Made a Mistake Saturday —by not call ing- attention to the fact that in addition to the “Extras” of Saturday, the 22d, there were shown in the picture the regular sporting edition of The Georgian of Saturday, the regular edition of Mon day and two issues of The Constitution of Tues day, one the regular edition and the other an extra. We would again remind our readers that The * Georgian issued no “extras,” The Georgian at the bottom with the pencil marks on it being the reg- # , ular sporting edition printed every evening, and t . that instead of printing exciting headlines while the feeling was so intense, we used our influence to relieve the situation, as shown by The Georgian in the lower right- hand corner. No—not quite perfect, but just printing the news in as common sense, safe a manner as we can, and keeping in mind the best interests of all the people. FULTON GRAND JURY FIXES RESPONSIBILITY FOR RECENT RIOTING The Fulton county grand jury this morning unanimously adopted the following resolutions touching the causes leading up to the rioting in Atlanta on last Saturday night: “Grand Jury Room, Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 27, 1906.—We, the members of the grand jury of Fulton county, Georgia, believing that the sensational manner in which the afternoon newspapers of Atlanta have presented to the people the news of the various criminal acts recently committed in this county, has largely influ enced the creation of the spirit animating the mob of last Satur day night, and that the editorial utterances of The Atlanta News for some time past have been calculated to create a dis regard for the proper administration of the law, and to promote the organisation of citizens to act outside of the law in the pun ishment of crime; “And believing further that tho distribution by The Atlanta News of sensational and heavy-leaded extras on Saturday night among a large crowd of excited men and boys who thronged the streets, greatly iuflamed the crowd aud promoted the formation of the mobs: “Therefore, resolved, That the sensationalism of the after noon papers in the presentation of the criminal news to the pub lic prior to the riots of Saturday night, especially in the case of The Atlanta News, deserves our severest condemnation, and we trust that, in the interest of law and order in Fulton county, there may be for the future a cessation of such journalistic methods. ” A.
