The old reliable Democrat, of Alex
andria, is now running . daily, and
the copy on our desk gives evidence
that Bro. Mobley is fully in his ele-
ment, now that he is able to spread
himself daily, and give a free rein to
his ability in the way of editorial
comment and criticism. We wish the
Daily Democrat the continued conf
dence and prosperity that seems to
have been enjoyed by the weekly.

From Prison Dock to Lecture
Platform.

The following criticism of the NOR
bid vitiated taste shown by a large
body Of the public, and upon which
unprincipled prey and make selfish
gain, strikes telling thrust at licen-
tiousness, and will be approved by
all people who honor integrity and
virtue. We heartily endorse Editor
A. D. Lafargue's comments, which we
reproduce from his Avoyelles Blade,
as follows:
Mrs. Anna E. George, who has been
tried and acquitted for the killing of
George Saxton, viii not go into re-
tirement. The crime, and the circum-
stances that preceded it, have not
in the least Swallowed her life nor
dampened her spirits. She will not
withdraw from the world and in &C.
clusion make peace with God, whom
she has offended. and in q way silence
the public notoriety which she has
secured. The instincts of the lady
with elevated character have not
been implanted within the breast OF
this woman. With brazen effrontery
she announces that she will take to
the platform. She will become a pub
lie lecturer, and the killing of Saxton
is the widespread publicity that she
expects to play upon to secure large
audiences. The grave is made the
motive for the accumulation of mon
ey, and it matters little if the skele-
ton OF the dead should swing con-
stantly before her eyes, she will pro-
coed with her unholy and unrighteous
work. She will lecture on "woman's
rights" The woman and her subject
ut each other. She will tell the wo-
men of her section of the country that
they have many rights and privileges
which they should maintain. She win
try to explain how q woman can
abandon husband and home, throw
to the winds virtue and reputation,
sink modesty and name, and yet still
remain woman to be considered
She will tell her hearers that all of
these things can be done, and all that
is necessary to retain a hold upon
popular favor is to slay the man who
occupied the position of paramour.
Mrs. George is going to explain all
OF these things, and she will demon
strate how others should advocate
and practice "woman's rights" But
her circuit will be limited to the Nor
thern States. Such a woman would
not be permitted to lecture in our
own beautiful and noble southland
Here in the South the brightest jewel
that a woman can wear is an unsulli-
ed virtue, and the noblest adornment
with which she can bedeck herself is
wifely love. Cast away the one and
neglect the other and the charm is
broken-respect is lost, and society
shuts its doors in the fece of the Of
fender. Mrs. George will lecture on
"woman's rights" but her territory
will not be in the southland.

Antitrust Legislation.

Thequestion of concerted action on
the part of the various States in the
matter of antitrust legislation is one
of great Importance to the people.
1t is undoubtedly the question OF the
hour, and should take precedence as
apolitical issue in thenextcampaign.
Arkansas and Texas have already
taken important steps in this direc-
ton. Gov. Sayers, OF Texas, pro-
poses a convention Of the governors
and attornsy-generals of the South
ern States to discuss plans for con-
certed action in the matter, and his
should meet with most
hearty support and cooperation.

sAVANNAH's SEA CRITTERS.
VIII Begin Their Work at the New
Jersey Range To-day.

W III beSIn 1 heir " DIRK ut the New
Jersey Range To-day.
Savannah's Sea Girt team will probably
begin practice on the New Jersey range
to-day. The steamship City of Birming-
ham, with the team aboard, reached New
York yesterday afternoon or last night
at least. It was the intention of the
team to proceed to Sea Girt Immediately
on arrival in New York. All Sightseeing
and anything which might tend to dis.
tract the attention Of the members from
their work is TO be postponed until after
the shoot, when the discipline to which
the members of the team have submit
ted themselves for several weeks will be
relaxed and they will be at liberty to
enjoy themselves as they see fit.
The Hilton and Marathon trophies and
the Wimbledon cup, the three principal
trophies of the Sea Girt contests. are III
Savannah. The Solder of Marathon has
resided in Savannah for the last three
years, and If the Savannah marksmen
continue to increase in EXPERIENCES in the
same proportion that they have increased
in EXPERIENCES on the occasion of each visit
to Sea Grit, the Soldier is likely TO take
up his residence here permanently.
The Hilton trophy, which ranks first
In the estimate Of the marksmen who en-
gage in the annual competition at Sea
Grit has been a home in Savannah for
two years. The team has the credit of
winning it only once however there hav-
ing been no contest at Sea Girt last year
on account of the Spanish-American war
which was at that time engaging the at
tention of many of the crack shots
