We cordially commend this expres sion from Augusta to tbe other twelve Georgia municipalities who occupy a place upon this roll of honor, and we add to our cordial congratulations to Mr. Mitchell upon his tact and skill the most cordial good wishes for Its complete success. Sueceu to the Cotton Growers Meetings With all heartiness we urge upon the farmers and business men of Georgia to come out In ftill and at tentive numbers to tbo public meet ings which Messrs. Johnson and Jor dan and Smith, of the Southern Cot ton Association are about to hold In different cities of tbe state. Whatever The Georgian's views of tlio best policy for tbe Southern cot ton growers to follow, wo do not hes itate to (observe them to the views which the majority of those who have a right to rulo may adopt, and to lend our co-operation to any effort that they may make for succoes. One thing absolutely certain la tbat <be Southern Cotton Association has ■lone past service to the South, and i hit Its past services are as nothing ns compared to the greit good It can do In tbe future If it can pull Itself to gether, reorganise on good lines, adopt good and wise policies, and make a united and harmonious effort for success. It la barely possible that In the se ries of these meetings, and In the ex pressions which farmers may make at them, that thta general will may be approximately neared If It is not at tained. Wo sincerely truat that lbs farmer* will attend theee meetings with an open mind, that with a fearless •peecb they will aak questions, tbat they will present their views and will lmpreis their Ideas of the public poli cy of the association without hesita tion and without fear. It Is not only 'lulr right to do this, but It la tbe duty of tbe Georgia farmer who has Intelligence and opinions to express them for the general good. As a result of them all we sincerely trust tbat the association may bo strengthened and Its life and health renewed. Our Jamestown Commissioner.

If only the sinless threw stones, there would be fewer bruised and broken reputations In an erring but not all-wicked world. The swpet blossoms of charity shine whiter upon the bowed bosom of tbe penitent living, than upon tbe bleaching bones of tbe fast-forgotten dead- And It la better far to send out the life boat to one soul that has slipped Its moorings In tempestqous seas, than to fill the galleys of Jus- lice with convicted criminals, or to convoy a fleet of selfish ambitions to triumphant port. Lord, If In Thy providence of tbls later day, the Scribes and Phari sees—hypocrites—would cease to hound the Publicans who staud afar off and stretch out their bands In humility*to heaven! A trace to platitudes: Let us find a story with a human being In It. There If a fellow in our little world wbo has sinned against High Ileaveo snd his home. Worse than tbat, In human standards, he has been found out. Par waa tbe fall with him even as with Adam, and perhaps from ttfe eating of tbe same forbidden fruit. A sin of’passion, tbe subtlest and the sweetest that the devil la all bis raro old pharmacy has mixed for mortals, swept him from the standards of his faith, and flung him dated and staggering against the outraged conventions of so ciety. High was hla station and lofty his repute when discovery found him, and In a night be fell—fell llko the angels from heaven to helL'aud as men say It, fell like Lucifer never to rise again. For In the wild clam or of the gossips' tongues there was never the note of mercy. The cause, the circumstance, tbe human weakness, the temptation, tbe resistance, the surrender, tbe repentance—are all forgotten In the fall. ‘‘Crucify him!" cry the scandal-whetted mob. as they cried against a Just Man once. “Crucify the sinner In clean clothes, and release unto us some Barabbat of our robber band, who Is not repentant, and over whoso agony we cannot gloat.” The sinners Sanhedrim sit* upon hla sin. The high court of bis church convenes to try him. Tbe sinner's confession saves the gift of ev idence end the srgument df advocates In the case. Tho sentence waits upon the court There la a hint of mercy. Tho sinner la young. Hla life la all before him. His repeutanco has been so public, so contrite and so clear. There are some who speak of David nud Uriah—of “that human man after God’s own heart.” His example and hla history glow with guid ance on the case. Shall David's (In and David's penitence meet with Davld'e forgiveness both by God and man? Shalt tho sinner hare another chance? The heart of tho Sanhedrim Is soft. But stern voices plead for Justice and tho law. The majesty of morals must be maintained. The standards of the creed mast be avenged. Society must be protected. Above nil things we must purify tbe organisation of the church. Tho ecclesiastic body must be vindi cated. And then a brave man with steady, clear, blue eye* stands up. "May I ask. air,” said he, "If Joints Christ came Into the world to save conventions and presbyteries, or to save a (Inner?'' Swift thundered the ceclaalaatlc Jn the role of prosecutor. ‘.‘Sir, did you ever commit adultery?" And with unflinching honesty, the clear blue'eyes, looking the priest In the face, the Iflymap answered: ; "A thousand times! I forbear to return the question!” There was silence then, and a swift terror of introspection. The layman was as clean as tbe priest In the overt act of living. There was no shadow on hla life or loyalty. He had lived clean on tho surface all hla days. But the layman was brave end honest. He knew the law In' Ita depth and scope. He knew the law of the spirit He knew the ninth commtndment below the tranquil Utter. He knew that tho red blood within him had surged to the euggeetlon of a thousand charms exposed by thoughtless or reokless women, and because tho layman was no hyp ocrite. he knew that a thousand times he had committed adultery In his heart! Because he was an honest man he knew this. Uecsuse he was a brave man he said so. And because he was a true man, his con sciousness and his courage gave him charity. We have no carp at the priest In the case. He was honest. Yes, and orthodox. He was safely on hla standards, and maybe he waa right all through. Tho major world will say so, for tho major world has said so all these years. But the heart that Is In ue goes out to tbe layman In the story and to the sinner at hla side. Tbe layman throw no stones because ho was bravely conscious of bis own defect*. Tbe layman ( kuew hla Lord and followed lfltn to the sinner's aide, rather than to tbe institution made by men. The layman bad read that Jesus Christ came Into the world to call ilnners and not the right- eout to repentance, and he believed that fu heaven there was more joy over one tinner that repentoth than over ninety and nine just men (In presbytery or convention) who need no repentynce. The Sanhedrim eat upon the tinner and sent him away. Maybe tbe Sinners Sanhedrim could do no more. Tbe purity of tho church must be maintained. It* discipline must be kept. It* standards mutt be held high before tbe world, we know all that and respect It, too. Bdt the layman—God bless him! Not being sinless, swept to the tin ner's side. He let the presbytery and convention take care of itself, and he went after tbe soul 9n need. He had no reproaches and he threw no stones. He put his arm about the tinner's neck. He pointed hit re pentance to a line of action, and he put hie elbow to the olbaw of his fainting fellow, and la keeping step with him In tbe nbble march back ward or forward, as you nante It, to a noble and a useful life. And If ever in lengthening years the erring aoul of the strong sinner comes baek Into tts own—If ever the brilliant life regains Ita hold for ser vice and for b6nor—whose hand (hall we hall ai God's Instrument In re deeming—the Sanhedrim's with Its preserving creeds and standards, or that old human layman with hla brave, hand holding fast to the sinner slipping from hla 'place? Long ago oa a Judean morning the Scribes and Pharisees brought unto the Master a woman taken In adultery, with the suggestion tbat she should lie stoned. And they asked Him so. But Josus stooped down and wrote with HI* finger on the ground as though He beard them not. And when they continued asking of him and would not be denied, that In finite Compassion lifted Himself and said: “Him that (■ without tin among you. let him first cast a stone at her!" Then once more the Mister stooped and wrote upon the sand. Silently and shamefacedly the Scribea and Pharisee! fell away one by one and left tbe woman and her.Lord alone? And tnmlng to ber ths discovered adulterness—Jesus said: "Go and sin no morel” So man knows what wonts the Savior wrote upon the ground. So ■aortal ever read the mesaage which the moving fingers of Omnipotent tenderness were tracing In Judean eap.d. And no man ran ever know the thoughts tender and deep tbat pulsed the greatest and the saddest heart In all the world. Gut the sinners of the unlvtrseea,i remember when at lelse is clean— forgotten, tbat when the Master rose front that mysterious manuscript on mother earih, he said softly to an erring woman: ‘ Go and sin no more.” And the cruel gossips of the day; those mocking Pharisees—the men «ho throw stones from glass houses at every fallen, fellow In tho ranks h ' them remember the thrilling challenge with which the Lord of Heaven halted their hypocrisy and rebuked the lurking persecution in their fiouls. How we might multiply the rescues and minify the losses In tbls ► ua life-battle. IT men and women only would remember that April morn ing when tbe Son of God wrote with his Anger In Judean sand. GOSSIP! By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER.. THE LESSON OF GLENN AND TWO LAWYERS. The value of Justice and a legal trial has rarely been better illustrat- ' n t e criminal annals of the South than In the case of the nogro Glenn, ease on yesterday by a Jury of Judge Roan's court, after a trial for rape. _ An excited and almost freazled woman, driven to desperation by the avful treatment which she had received, Identified tho prisoner as her assailant In the case. It was with great difficulty after this identifies- i cn that he was spirited to the Jail. It was only upon the urgent effort '■ the officials that he was prevented front being lynched by three mobs gathered to Intercept him on his way to prison. Suppose the law had been lax? Suppose the sheriff and his deputies .ad been Indifferent? Glenn would have been lynched beyond tho shad ow of a doubt,• and an Innocent man would have been murdered by the citizens of tho county of Fulton. With his guilt or Innocence reduced to the cold analysis of the law under capable attorneys, the man was cleared, and the members of thooe several mobi who read this morn- ng tho evidence and the Jury’s verdict, are probably hugging themselvos with trembling satisfaction In that their wild thirst for vengeance .on circumstantial evidence was thwarted by the law. It Is Impossible not to commend tho courage, and fidelity to their great profession Illustrated by Attdrneys Luther Rosser and Charles T. Hopkins In this case. Of course It Is unimaginable that olther of these men could have bad less than horror and repulsion for the criminal. They did not accept the defenae upon a fee. but on the appointment of the court, which Is In Itself a legal command and responsibility. They assumed tho duty Imposed upon them by the tupreme officer of the law, and having assumed their duty they did It clearly, bravely aud well. Be ing charged by tbe mandate of the court to secure for the prisoner a fair trial of his case, they did so wjth the courage and ability for which they aro noted and the result Is vindicated In tho verdlot which has set free an Innocent man and made It possible to apprehend and hang the real criminal In the cate. • Tho incident from beginning to end Is Important and ilgnlficant. It will probably emphasise as nothing else has done the haste and danger of the mob. It will do aa much and more than anything else baa done to abolish hasty and frenxled lynching upon tbe Impulse of the hour and upon any evidence less than absolute and conclusive. And tho conduct of two eminent lawyers at the* bar In the fearleaa discharge of their officially Imposed duties.will undoubtedly dignify the profeseloa to which they belong and set a high standard of duty for the future. County Council Purposes to Make oAnti-Trust Fight. By RICHARD ABERCORN. London. Nov. 1?.—A great anti-trust move is proposed by the London county council, which.
