Editorial Correspondence.
Journeys on foot, by rail or boat
are regarded by newspaper people;
as being productive of much in
teresting reading matter for the
paper. And any editor who se
cures inter< sting “storms for hk
paper is to be counted happy from
a business standpoint at lea.-t.
This being the case I should lie in
an exuberant state of feeling this
morning for I have had many in
teresting experiences since leaving;
the little homo town among the
north Georgia hills.
My journey from Atlanta to
Milledgeville was accomplished j
very pleasantly. The country is;
beautiful between Atlanta and Ma- j
con, being very highly cultivated
and show ing in some places, long
stretches of fine vineyards and
fruit farms. There were no fences
and no hills and to eyes accustom
ed, as mine are, to the narrow val
ley farms of north Georgia, the!
wide expanse of fertile fields was j
rather unusual looking.
On tho train out from Atlanta
I had the pleasure of joining the
Governor’s party. Gov . Atkinson
is president of tho Board of Trus
tees of the Girls’ Normal and In
dustrial college while Mrs. Atkin
son is president of the Beard of
Lady Visitors to tho college. Miss
M. L. Huntley, a very brilliant
young woman connected with tho
stall' of the Atlanta Journal, and
Mrs. A. J. Julian, both members
of the Board of Visitors, comple
ted lho party.
1 Mrs. Julian who will bo remem
bered with pleasure by many peo
ple in Summerville, is one of the
most efficient members of the
Board. Her good judgment and
ability in the discharge of her du
ties has been very highly compli
mented by Governor Atkinson and
those familiar with her fine char
acter and long life of active useful
• ness will recognize such unstinted
’ praise as being but jiist.
Tho memberships of this Board
1 of Visitors comprises, 1 believe,
the only official positions to which
women are appointed in this stale.
The duties of the Board arc to in
i quire and examine into every de
partment, normal, collegiato and
industrial, of this school, and make
)
reports with any suggestions of
needed improvements and changes,
, to the Board of Trustees. I am
. sure that wliat I have to say of
. Mrs. Atkinson president of tho
Board, will he of great interest.
■ She is a fino typo of strong, intel
, lectual womanhood, characterized
. by all those lovely attributes that
mark the gentle women of the
South, A very great deal of her
time and strength is given to phil
anthropy and her efforts in estab
. lishing and improving this school
for the Georgia girls has been one
of the most important factors in
• its success. Physically, Mrs. At
> kinson is a beautiful and very
. youthful looking woman, possessed
, of great personal magnetism. She
has the heavy dark liair and refin
ed features, with tho clear, pure
pallor of skin, that is known as
belonging to the distinctly South
ern type of woman. Exquisite
taste and refinement in dress serves
to add a finishing grace to this
very charming woman.
In another letter 1 wish to write
more at length of the aims and
advantages of the G. N. and I.
College. For the present I will
confine myself to tho interesting
things 1 have seen here.
On last Saturday afternoon the
Governor with the entire Board of
Visitors, went out to the asylum
! buildings for the insane, which are
| located on the hills near town.
This being my first visit to the
| asylum all my impressions of the
place were, very vivid and fresh.
It is certainly the saddest and most
affecting spectacle I have ever
seen. It is a very beautiful place:
tho buildings are very large and
fine looking, with lovely grounds,
and the views to be had of the
surrounding country from w indow s
and porticos are fine. The noble
chari'y of the state, assisted by
nature, has made it a most beauti
ful home-like piece which seems
very aHfiring to those weary of the j
heat and turmoil of the outside |
world, but wherever a human form
shows itself walking aimlessly a
bout the grounds, or gazing forth j
from behind barred windows, we j
see an evidence of an awful death
in life.
Dr. Powell, the venerable and
noble head of the institueion. was
absent in F.oston, much to cur dis
appointment. We-aero >hown ev
ery courtesy and attention possi
ble, however, by the resident phy
sicians. among whom were Dr.
Whittaker and Dr. O'Daniel. These
men show in face and manner the
impress of lives nobly spent in al
the un
fortunate. Surely no work could
he nobler than theirs.
We were taken through tho dif
ferent buildings for males and fe
males, through the convalescent
wards, etc., the only exception be
ing tho ward for incurables to
which visitors are never admitted.
Here are raving maniacs, some of
whom are so violent that they can
not be kept clothed; whose win
dows are guarded by a heavy net
ting of iron wire and whose rooms
| contain nothing movable or break
i able. For this class a strong
blanket is made at #25.00 per pair
and the maniacs are even able to
tear these up frequently.
Every nook and corner of the
groat buildings is exquisitely clean
and well kept and it was a pleas
ure to go through them. Only I
can hardly write of pleasure in
connection with this place when,
peering at us from every doorway,
and following us down the long
corridors were those poor unfortun
ates whose shifty eyes told too
plainly the sad story of a darkened
I soul and dethroned reason . The
place grew so oppressive to me
that I felt myself in tho midst ot
! a horrible nightmare, and as we
went on and on through tho seem
ingly endless corridors I hardly
dared to look into the cells on
either side, fearing to face somi
new horror. Whon the great doors
at the end of a corridor clanger
behind me and the attendant lock
ed them, I felt that those peoph
were shut in from hope—a livim
1 death.
One of the most interesting
' wards we visited was that for th<
negro women. These ware mon
demonstrative than any of the
lunatics wo saw. On going int r
' the dining room of this wardlsav
a very intelligent negro woman ar
ranging tho tables for supper
’ Thinking her one of the attendant;
‘ I began talking to her; she talker
very lucidly for a few minutes ant
then began to tell us that she wai
“Queen Victoria and as soon a;
* she got through working at thii
' place she’d make us all ladies at
1 her court.” We assured her o:
’ our appreciation. These w-omer
1 became very much excited when
we came in, and, while they wore
harmless, they looked so wild ant
• weird as they gesticulated and jab
bored, that some of our part}
seemed tho least bit nervous. Ii
the ward for males we saw the no
groes come in to their dining hal
for supper. They were conductec
in by attendants and seated in ar
orderly manner. Some of then:
were clothed in a single garment
of coarse white cloth which reach
ed to about half way below the
knee. This curious garb and theii
shining black skin suggested e
priest in a heathen temple of the
East. There were many curious
facial types among them, many of
them so markedly degenerate as tc
suggest an animal rather than a
! human being.
We visited Alex Carr, the man
who murdered Captain lvL.g in
Atlanta. lie is evidently insane
The Governor talked to him and
he replied but with very little in
telligence. We also asked to see
Julia Force but she was quite vio
! lent at the time and was allowed
i no visitors.
In our rounds the physicians in
troduced, to us a number of cele
brities. Among them was an old
man who fancied himself President
of the United States. He express
ed himself as being o f the opinion
that Governor Atkinson didn't
pay him proper respect. Another
lunatic presented the Governor
with a petition asking fora num
ber of convicts and #60,000 “to
straighten the Milledgeville dum
my line, w hich was a nuisance to
the wliol- 1 state.” We had jirst
rode out on the dummy and thought
there was reason in his madness.
He signed himself: IV. J. Revely,
Lt. Gen., of the 2nd and 3rd Regi
ments and Emperor of the Fifth
Military Empire.”
The man who fancied himself
the President is an'old man and
quite large, yet he talks in a thin,
womanish voice always. It is said
that years ago he became insane
because the girl ho loved jilted
him and he fancied that her soul
dwelt in hi 9 breast and it was her
voice that issued from his lips,
and he affected this feminine voice
so - ut of proportion to his appear
ance.
Upon tho invitation of the phy
sicians in charge we remained to
. supper and afterwards attended
i the weekly dance in the arnuse
- ment hall of the institution. This
dance was one of the most curious
• spectacles imaginable. The pa
. tients seemed to enjoy it very
much. Several of the attendants
. furnished the music and the dance
was conducted in a very sane,
orderly way, but the dancers were
insane—you could never forget
i that while watching them. All
sorts of people were there. I no
ticed in one “set” or quadrille, a
tall middk aged man with a large
. head and strong, gentle face, which
. suggested the familiar type of ru
ral preacher, or church deacon.
- The doctor told mo afterwards
r that he really was a preacher who
• had a large family, the cares of
which, combined with unusual re
ligious fervor, had unbalanced his
j mind. It was pathetic to see him
i engaging with such evident enjoy
- ment, in an amusement that he
[ had doubtless condemned many
i times from his pulpit. His famil
iarity with it and the way in which
lie directed the other dancers, was
t I evidence that ho had indulged in
3 j °
- tho days of his “urregenerate”
o youth. Just opposite him was a
i : gentle looking woman with shining
9 brown hair. I could easily fancy
e her the devout, hard working wife
f and mother in some farmhouse,
e Her partner was a great, rough
- looking man who did clog dances
y the grotesqueness of which wasen
hanced by the solemn expression
e of his face. The preacher’s part
s ner was an old woman whose short
d gray hair and wrinkled brown fact
:- was in curious contrast to the girl
e ish costume she wore. One of he:
s ! fancies is that she is but sixteei
I years old. She belongs to one o
g the prominent families in the stab
10 1 and her nephew who is a brillian
e 1 man in many ways, leads the so
e i ciety germans in one of our large
o | cities. There was a beautifu
w! young woman dancing, who n<
r- 1 longer remembered her husbaiic
r. and baby at home. With her was e
ts prominent young physician of Sa
d vannah, whoso insanity was due u
d whisky and cocaino. He had al
is most recovered then, and I sav
is him a few days afterwards will
is his mother at the college com
t mencement.
>f These are just a few of the man}
n types to be seen here, and one cat
n only wonder what story of wreck
o and ruin lies behind each of those
6 strangely blank faces.
). There are now about 2,000 in
v j mates in the place —quite a little
u city. Patients are discharged
. nearly every day but there always
1] newcomers to take their places,
q One of tho most suggestive and
n terrible cases there is that of Joe
n Busby. He is one of a family of
it seven children, all of. whom are
i- deformed and idiotic; his head,
e hands and feet are of normal size;
r his body is that of a child of four
a or five years and his face that of
e an old man. He looks like a gob
s lin rather than a human being,
f He is fifty-six years old and has
o been in the asylum nearly all of
a ! his life. His father and mother
! were double first cousins and in
u addition to this his father was ad
n dieted to the whisky habit. This
j. is a brief history of cause and ef
feet, but behind it lies a category
. of dreadful crimes committed a
-0 gainst the well being of humanity
i- in tho shadow of indifferent igno
d ranee.
i That night as our party sat out
-' on the lawn waiting for the dum
. my that was to take us back tc
1 town, the moon came up from be
t hind the low eastern hills and
touched the shadowy buildings
3 and beautiful grounds with a sol
t . emn glory. This made the place
r even more dreadfully sad to me.
l- as I pictured the interior of those
- cells illumined by that ghostly
u light shining through barred win
- (lows upon those human wrecks.
. The night was made hideous to
t me by the shrieks and weird tones
t of laughter, song or complaining
that came to my ears, and I won
. dered why it was —why God let it
- be so? But nothing happens by
i chance and the answer is to be
found in transgressed laws whose
f penalties are not to be set aside
1 by God or man. Edna Cain,

(SHATTERED BY DYNAMITE.,
The Dwelling ci Mr. Ramsay
Blown to Fragments.
Last Thursday night about 12
; o’clock the dwelling of Win. Ram
j pay Jr, was almost totally de- j
: nv dished by an explosion of dyna
! mite.
Mr. Ramsay lives in Haywood
valley, on the farm of Miss Della
Salmons, some distance south of
Subligna. The In use was built
part of logs and part frame. The
ulvnamite seems to have been
; placed on the west side, ab< at the
| middle of the building. It is said
to have been completely wrecked
by the explosion and the wonder is
that Mr. Itamsay and his wife, the
■ only inmates of the house, were
not instantly killed.
Mr. Ramsay was slightly scratced 1
and bruised, but his injuries are
not serious, His night clotb.es
: w. re almost completely torn from
.: his body by the explosion.
| The general impression among;
f the neighbors seems to be that the j
_; attempted murder was caused by ;
the alleged fact that Mr. Ramsay
, has been reporting the illicit dis
tillers in his community. That
I
seems to bo all that can be learned
~ of the cause of the trouble. No
I clue, so far as known, has been ob-
I tained to these midnight dynami-
I. O J
i tors.
Later.—Monday a warrant was
sworn out by Wm. Ramsay Jr., for
Henry Waters, on a charge of assault
II I with intent to murder. Mr. Ramsay
alleges that some time ago he met nr.
1- Waters in the road, when the latter
e drew a pistol and threatened to take
[- his life; hence the warrant,
r The case came up before Esquire
n Shropshire in Haywood Monday, and
. C the warrant was dismissed, presumably
e for lack of prosecution, as Mr. Ramsay
was either unable, or afraid to attend
court.
In regard to the dynamiting of Mr.
0 Ramsay’s house last Thursday night,
a rumor is in circulation to the effect
° that Mr. Ramsay knew the parties that
d dynamited 3ir. Shahan’s bouse in Wal
a ker county some months ago and it
i- was thought that the attempt on Mr.
o Ramsay’s life the other night was
. made with a view to silencing the wit
ness. This rumor, however, cannot
I he verilied positively, and is given
merely for what it is worth.
