A Wise Criticism.
The Propriety of the W. G. T. q.
Noted Discussion.

We are happy to clip the follow
ing eminently fair and wise criti-
cism from the Wellsburg Herald :
Certain parties very evidently
would like to magnify the discus
sion among the ladies of the recent
Convention touching the policy of
committing their Union to polit-
ical line of action, into more i'm
portanoe than properly belongs to
1t, Opinions may differ as to whe-
Their it is wise or unwlse for the
Union to make a deliverance that
might commit it to the support of
any existing political organization,
but there can be very little differ
ence of opinion as to the perfect
propriety of the discussion of it,
and very little criticism of the
spirit displayed by the debaters. 1t
seems to have been nothing more
than a friendly debate such as
might be expected in any crowd
collected purposely to discuss mat
ters; and in a crowd of men moth
ing at all would have been thought
Of it, had there even been some
heat evolved. In this case, it was
g collection of women instead of
men, and they demonstrated that
the sisters as we'll as the brethren
can get together and discuss their
differences courteously and even
get warm over them, and yet abate
not particle of respect for each
other personally or of respect for
opinions honestly entertained.
That was about all there was of 1T.
Whatever other criticism those
who are disposed to, may make,
this is one point, that on this occa-
sion the ladies settled very satisfac-
torily. They debated their points
and they did it zealously and in
good earnest; but so far as is
known, there was no unusual
amount of heartburn left behind.
Those who criticise probably feel
the most of that because the talk
ended so amicably. They expect
ed scandal either on the Prohi-
bitionists or the Union and were
disappointed.

w. G. II. U. Convention OF
Georgia.

The annual meeting, recently held
in Macon, was one of great inter
est. It was revelation to many,
a genuine surprise, in the concise
reports of grand work done, and in
the modest, womanly, yet thor
oughly capable methods of conduct
ing business. The President, Mrs.
Sibley, of Augusta, combined the
most ladylike and graceful manner
with the utmost dignity and capa-
biIity as presiding officer. Her
annual address was document of
rare interest. Many subjects of
interest were discussed during the
three days session. Mrs. S. M.
Hicks, M. D., of Atlanta, read a
mastery paper on the very impor-
tant subject of heredity and hygi-
enc, which aroused the liveliest in
terest in these vital matters. Mrs.
FELTON,, of Gainesville, read a re-
port on the chain-gang and peni-
tertiary system, showing the fear
full evils of these systems which
are such disgrace to the great
State of Georgia. Resolutions
were unanimously adopted to petit
ton the Legislature for needed
prison reforms.
Other papers and discussions
of great interest were held. 1t
was shown that a great work
is already being accomplished, in
the way OF visiting jails and pris-
ons, holding Gospel Temperance
meetings, distributing religious
and Temperance literature, work
ing to introduce Temperance text
books in the schools, organizing
Bands of Hope and Temperance
Sunday Schools, with much other
noble work of similar kind. The
most important service has like
wise been given in many Georgia
counties during the local prohibi-
ton campaigns. 1t is not too
much to say that without the aid
of the W. G. T. U. there would not
have been the one hundred and
twenty counties of this State freed
by their own vote from the curse of
liquor selling, as the case stands
to-day.
Mrs. Sallie Chaplin, of Charles
ton, S. c., attended the Convention
throughout, and was of the utmost
assistance in many ways. During
the Convention she made several
powerful addresses, and one night
spoke to a large audience Of COL
ored and white people at the Afri-
can Methodist Church, in a most
impressive way. After the lecture,
new Good Templars' Lodge OF
colored people was organized, with
over sixty members, and more to
follow. May the Lord bless Mrs.
Chaplin in her great and noble
work !!
There are many excellent and
worthy women in the ranks of the
Georgia W. G. T. U. Among them
may be mentioned Miss M. H.
Stokes, of ATLANTA, the efficient
corresponding Secretary and State
organizer; Mrs. DR.. Blanchard, of
Columbus; Mrs. J. e. Bryant, of
