Surprised Republican Journals.


The comments Of some Of the republican
newspapers II the north on the result OF the
trial Of John Yeldell in Edgefeld. 5. c., are
rather interesting, as ttey virtually amount
70 a confession that they did not believe
that a black man charged with killing a
white man could have a fair trial in South
Carolina. he Philadelphia Press, for in
stance, said: "As it is believed to be very
! difficult for the average South CarOlinian,
if white, to conceive Of any contingency in
which the shooting Of a white man by a
co,ored man would be justifiable, it was
feared that any defense which admitted the
shooting would avail the prisoner very
little
The South Carolina officers who went to
Pittsburg for Yield II, who Lad been arrest ed
in that city, were delayed in the accom-
p.ishmeat Of their duty by all sorts Of OBJ
strucuons which Pitlsburg people threw in
their way. Some of the newsla lers said
that if Yeliell We're turned over to the Off
GERS 70 be carried back TO South Carolina,
he would be lynched before he reached his
destination, or, TIA. if he we're not lynched
he would not have fair trial.
No attempt was made to lynch Yellell,
and he couli not have asked FIR a fairer
trial. He was acquitted without the III
| troduc ion # any testimony IN his behalf
The cha sc Of the judge was favorable to
him, and the jury, although composed
wholly Of white men, returned a yer iict Of
! acqui tai within a very few minutes after
the close Of the charge
The outcome Of this case of Yeidelrs will
convince many mist tken and badly in
formed white PEG lie at the north that a
black man stands as good a charce in the
south as in the north to be dealt with
strictly in accordance with the law.
fnct, where there is n chance to do 50, courts
in the south are rather disposed than other
wise to show cy to the blacks
charged with crime. The Ignorance
and low moral tone Of the blacks are taken
into account, and allowance are made for
them which would not always be made for
white men charged with offenses against
the laws
White men in the south are much more
| disposed 10 deal justly with the blacks than
the northern republican press is to treat
| fairly the white people of the south.
The statements in 50 ne of the Ponnsyl-
vania newspapers relative to the south
when the Yeldell Gaze began first to attract
| attention, were calculated to lead one to
believe that no black man could get fair
trial in the south. SO ne of these newspa-
pers have the decency to admit that they
were mistaken. As a matter of fact the
81 uation of the colored people, when viewed
from al standp ints, is just about as good in
the south as it i in the NORTH.

SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY.
The Morning News Annual Trade Review,
Few Pointers in Relation Thereto.

The MORNING NEWS Annual Trade Re
view, containing a complete and compre-
hensive statement of the business of Savan-
nah, viii be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept. l, 1889, will be
memorable one the history of Savannah,
and the MORNING News proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in a community than
through the columns of its newspapers.
The MORNING NEWS in its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities in the union,
and that her citizens, judging from what
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive To the great ess of her future
They have proven by the various local inn
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested in
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they are not afraid to invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confidence
in her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in a
few years. make her the greatest seaport
city in the south
The MORNING NEWS will, in its Trade
Review, present to the world Savannah oil
to-day" In a resume of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at G
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year.
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the bu,iness of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise a steadily increasing prosperity.
1t will establish the fact that there is nc
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live and do bushes,
either in summer or winter. 1t viii
prove by figures that Savannah il
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she i,
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in the
usual form, and will be a newspaper which
those who feel a pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business men an opportun.
ity of saying something about their bushes,
and themselves. 1t is hoped that in size, al
we'll as in other respects, it will sur ass
every previous edition. That, however
depends entirely upon the orders it re
ceives from advertisers.
1t is desired to distribute $1,000 copies
and that number will be distributed, if the
response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as we have reason to believe II
will be-
Orders for advertising or for copies Of
the paper can be handed in at the business
office, or, if desired, they will be called for

MIR. Northen's Addrass

The address of Hon. w. j. Northen al
Cedartown yesterday before the S ate Ag
ricutural Society, was a very interesting
ono, and one calculated to do great deal
of good. lis effect will be to inspire farm
erS all over tle state with hope, and to en-
courage them to adopt the methods Of farm
ing which are proving to be 50 satisfactory.
From the facts given by Mr.. Northen it
is clear that ere are fortunes in Georgia's
lands. All that is necessary is to adopt the
right way to get them out. The mistake
that the farmers have been making, and
(which some of them are still making, is that
they farm more la ID than they can
cultivate to the best advantage. Another
mistake which they have made, but which
they are now cor Getting, is tn 1T they have
acted upon the ida that there was money
only in cotton. Mr.. Nortlel sho IS clearly
That there are or Fps which can be SUCCESS
fully cultivated in Georgia that are more
profitable tina cotton.
a full synopsis of Mr. Northen's address
is published in this Issue There int a line
of the address that does not possess the
greatest interest for far ners and all others
who are in the least interested in the pros
perity of Georgia.
