GRIFFIN, Ga, Nov. 1O.-Four convicts
in the camp near Sunnyside were on a

As soon as the squad was outside Of

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 10.-The Age
Herald, in n leading editorial to-day,
says:
"The South has been done with sec
tionalism since her armies surrendered.
She desires nothing more than a com:
pIete obIiteration OF sectional lines and
issues in politics. There is no personal
ill.iecling entertained towards the Pres
ident-elect in the South. He is a gen
tleman by birth and education, and the
South always appreciats man OF that
class.
"There is some apprehension in the
South that Republican administration
NAV return to the baneful policy OF in
terference in Southern local affairs which
marked former administrations OF that
party. The South is too busy building
railroads, furnaces and factories, and
developing her mineral resources to de-
sire any political agitation. The South
will be as friendly to President Harrison
as he is to the South. In the same de-
gree that he reposes trust in the South
ern people, and treats them as he does
the people of other sections, will the
Southern people repose trust in him.
That the South cherishes any feeling Of
sullen resentment is wholly imaginary,
Let the South be assured that the com.
ing administration intends it no harm,
then will the administration receive as
kindly a welcome here as in any Other
part OF the Union"
