Afraid of the Truth.
Trom the Atlanta Journal.


A letter which the Journal printed few
days ago from Mrs. Annie e. Hall Of Talla-
poosa, giving an account of the brutality OF
j. B. Weaver as Pulaski, Tenn, when he
was in command there, has been very
widely copied. 1t is the testimony of a
lady who lived at Pulaski when les people
had the misfortune to fall into the hands of
Weaver.
Though she was only girl then, Weaver's
cruelty to her relatives and friends made
lasting impression on her mind.
The reproduction in North Carolina of her
letter to the Journal has evoked the fol-
lowing correspondence:
MOUNT OLIVE, N. c., Sept. 1, 1899.
Mrs. Annie E. Hall, TdIiaDoosd, Ca:
DEAR MADAM-I see in the Raleigh Chronicle
a letter taken from the Atlanta Journal signed
Mrs, Annie E. Hall. The third party and also
the republicans pretend TO believe that there is
no such person, and that the letter is lie gotten
up by the editor for capital only. If you receive
this letter. please answer at once and state
whether or not you wrote the letter in question.
Very respectfully, JAMES X. HATCH,
To this letter L. G. Hall. the husband Of
Mrs. Annie E. Hall, has replied as follows:
TAL1APoosA, Ga, Sept. 8, 1892.
Ny. james r. Hatch Mount OiiVe, NJ c.:
DEAR SIR-Replying to yours Of the LIST ad-
dressed to Mrs. Annie E. Hall Tiny wife), 1 will
say that she wrote the letter referred to by you
and will add by her request that the half has
not been told, :" In reference to the Infamous
dolngS or Gen. Weaver while In Pulaski, Tenn
The English language is insufficient to express
theifeehngs OF one who has passed through such
an ordeal. You can say TO the third party
brethren that my wites testimony is not a
drop la the bucket" of what can be proved by
living witnesses now in Pulaski. We do not
wish any notoriety, but when such tlend as
Weaver proposes to come south and ask our
people to support him we must speak, and ev-
cry charge is made from personal knowledge
only Respectfully yours, etc, L. Q. HALL.
The letter OF Mr.. Hatch shows that the
third party is beginning to realize what a
load it has to carry In Weaver. Its cam
paigners are evidently denying out and out
that Weaver committed the atrocities which
are charged against him.
But they can't get away from the facts
There are many living witnesses to the
truth Of all that has been alleged concern
ing Viewers conduct at Pulaski.
The Journal has taken an interest in ar
irving at the facts in the case and is graft
fled to know it has aided the public in ar
irving at q trus estimate of the third party
candidate for President.

ARE THERE LAKE TIDES?
You Can't Convince the Old Lake
Sailors That There Are Not.

From the Chicago Times.
GREEN BAY, WIS, Aug. 1.-THE books
have been telling you all your life that
there are no tides on the great lakes. Sci
entific men the country over are of the
same opinion. Yet every ssafaring man at
the city of Green Bay will tell you there
are tides here. They will give you the rea-
son which Artemus Ward once urged for
believing that friend had attended a
meeting the night before. For one thing
| saw him there" the humorist said, and
the company did not care to hear the
many other reasons held in reserve. The
Green Bay people are certain of the tides
because they have seen them and have been
seeing them ever since they lived here. It
is useless to argue against such a reason.
The tides come in the morning and even
ing and are highest at O'Clock a. IN. and z
o'clock p. m. From o'clock until z
o'clock in the morning the tide gradually
comes in. After that time it begins to re-
cede and is at its lowest point between IL
O'Clock and 2:30 O'Clock. At the latter hour
the evening tide begins and 1t rises continu-
ously until In the evening, when il begins
TO rece1e. The hight Of the
tide varies at times a trife, but IL Ia never
less than five inches aud seldom over eight
inches under ordinary circumstances.
Heavily laden boats Of large size are de-
tanned frequently at this point during Low

tains are so certain that there is "a tide that
they will wait for some hours to take ad =
vantage Of its movement before attempting
to leave port. They are certain that the
books are all wrong aud that there are tides
on the great lakes.
Owing to its peculiar shape the waters of

tions Of the heavy winds. In a heavy

THE WORLD Is ON THE MOVE.
The world surely Is coming to a pretty

Union-even without regular ordination
Is filling the pulpit Of the Congregational
church at Rayenna, O., while the regular
pastor is of on his vacation.
These ways OF doing are truly awful to
the conservative souls of the strictly ortho-
dox pattern. The despair of it is that they
may cry out to these women: "Back to
your kitchens, back TO your parlOrs, back
to the inanities aud frivolities of society,
back TO your fancy work and crazy quilts,

Though why any independent woman
should select the ministry for u vocation is
mystery. The average pay OF preacher
is very small, and poverty Is always subject
to more or less disrespect and contempt.

at preaching, they might be able to make

BIGOTRY OF WOMEN PR sACHERs.
But while the ministry in the main are
opposed to women in the pulpit on the
score that they are under perpetual obllga-
ton to keep silence, it remains for the radi-
Gals to express opposition from a wholly
different standpoint These claim that
women preachers ia their Incorporate zeal
and unyielding bigotry, will work TO up
hold the offensive "blue laws" and to i'm
pose a Puritauic severity in society that
will simply result In more of can't and by
pocrIsy.
But this objection amounts to little or
nothing. Women, who on entering the
ministry have withstood opposition and felt
the lack of Christian charity, will doubt
less be more filled with the spiris of toler-
alton than Of persecution. Practical expe-
rience. in most cases, will have taught them
that Incorporate zeal in religion is product
i've or vastly more mischief than good, and
that it Is more of manifestation of pride
than piety.

URGENT NEED FOR LEGISLATIVE
ACTION

1t is natural to feel a reluctance to
enter upon n difficult and important
task. but this should not deter the Leg
islature from taking mp faithfully and
earnestly the State Prison question and
carrying out the reforms required 10y
the new constitution.
The Senate is ready to take proper
action on this important question. and
the only difficulty has been in the dis
position of the House to postpone all
measures looking to change of sys-
tenn.
There are enough conscientious men
in the House to pass the proper meas
ure if they would only inform them
selves upon the subject thoroughly and
intelligcntly. and appreciate the neces-
sity for prompt and vigorous action at
| the present session.
There cannot possibly he a postpone
ment of this reform without dislOyalty
to duty. disregard of public sentiment
and a violation of the spirit of the new
constitution.
1t is remarkable indeed that this sub
iect needs urging in the House; and 1t
would seem a reasonable presumption
that every honest legislator would feel
the obligation imposed by the constitu-
ton of the State, even if the strong
and widespread public sentiment of
our people did not reach him.
The purpose of certain members of
| the House seems to be to continue the
infamous system of convict leasing just
as long as possible, to the very last day
permitted by the constitution, for GER
tainly this would be the inevitable eff
feet of non-action at this session.
The correct view does not seem to
have impressed them that the public
sentiment of the State has for years de
manded the abandonment of convict
leasing. and the constitution only per-
mitS it for time barely sufficient for
the Legislature to prepare for change
of system.
The present system of leasing, con
demned by every principle of morals
and humanity, should not be tolerated
day longer than is absolutely neces-
sary.
The constitution does not direct its
continuance until December 81, 1894,
but declares it shall not exist after that
time. It's abandonment at an earlier
day would accord with the spirit of the
constitution, and the purpose of the
convention.
The question is not how long this
duty can be postponed, but how prompt
ly. earnestly and effectively it can be
performed.

THE LOUISIANA COMPROMISES,

The adjustment between the two fact.
ions in Louisiana denotes the liberal
spirit of the anti-Lottery people. They
have every thing to lose and nothing to
gain. The gamblers ticket was virtu
ally beaten. The moral sentiment OF
the country, supplemented by the de-
cision of the Supreme Court, had
knocked the life out of it; and it is
saved from utter humiliation and dis
grace by the action of the anti-Lottery
committee, which seems to have been
inspired by fear that unless an ad-
justment was effected, the Republicans
might carry the State.
The LEADER may not be in position
to judge correctly. 1t thinks, however,
that this apprehension was unfounded
but since the agreement has been
formed, nothing is left for the anti-Lot-
terry people but to redouble their efforts
to carry their ticket in the primary
