Alice Petway of Atlanta. The music
was furnished by the First Regiment
Band, and every feature of the ball was
a delightful success.
Everything is on the qui vive for
the coming of the Governor to-mor-
row, and it has been decided tonight
to have the Governors visit of inspec-
ton to the encampment a separate
and distinct function from his formal
review of the troops and the brigade
parade. This latter feature of the day,
the browning event of the encamp-
ment, will take place tomorrow after
noon at o'clock in the city. The mer-
chants and the people of Augusta have
made an earnest request for the big
parade, and the Governors review is
to be on Broad street, where every
body can witness it. Col. Thomasson
has yielded to the popular wish. No
city in the country has a finer street
for parade, and the Governor and his
staff will review the troops from the
front of the Albion Hotel.

ORIGIN OF SLANG.
Plain Statement of Great Truths
Made by the People.


From the Indianapolis Journal of Bio
chemistry.
Great truths are always sensed and
crudely expressed first by the common
people.
Why should one ever say mo mat
ter?' At first blush there seems to be
no relevancy whatever between the
idea to be expressed and the phrase
used. But chemistry. the court of last
resort has demonstrated that so-called
matter is mo matter" but simply a
phenomenon or manifestation of en-
ergy. Is it any wonder that mo mat
ter has been a common expression
for years?
Catch on" is quite a popular and
catchy" slang phrase, but think it
must have been borrowed from the
cultured Emerson. for you remember
he commanded you to Hitch your
wagon to star" and there is really
no difference between catch on" and
Glitch on"
The slang phrase 1--WE are in it, has
been the catch word for some time. as
thing" OF course, we are in, and up
against the universal substance all the
time, for ''in it we live and move and
have our beings" Surely it is the real
thing. for 1t is the only substance
known. There is nothing else to be
in or against. 1t is the real thing :"
you are not the only pebble on the
beach," is a slang phrase that clearly
foretels the coming age of the con-
cept of the unity of being-or Coop
Grafton instead of individualism. In
fact. the expression is a direct and
loud protest against selfishness and
vanity, and frequently has greater
and better effect than a sermon.
"Out of sight" or way up in G. re-
fers to the real spiritual mana high
err note of vibration than the ordi-
nary or material plane of operation
Spiritual intelligences are "out of
sight" to most people, or to all who are
not clarvoyants.
"The whole show or ''he Tor she) is
the whole show" is clearly seen to be
a truth to those who really under
stand that man is the epitome of the
universe microcosm of the macro-
cosm-and that the kingdom of heaven.
or harmony, is really within his pos
sibilities, conceptions and operations.
He is a crank" expresses a great
truth A crank is the part of a ma
chine that turns or moves the machin-
cry. and the personal crank is the fell
low that helps move the world. 1t is
an honor to be called crank.

The problem" at Home.

From the New York World.
Three cases In one day Of attacks
by negroes upon white %girls-two In
New Jersey and one In this state
bring home to us the problem that
Is troubling the south. One of these
cases, near Albany, was so diabolic
in its cruelty that only the quick wit
and courage Of a deputy sheriff saved
the wretch from lynching by a mob
OF New York farmers.
These cases enforce the warning
Just given by Booker Washington to
the members OF his race. I'VE
should" he said, ''let the world know
on all proper occasions that we con-
slider no legal punishment too severe
fol. the wretch Of any rae who at
tempts to outrage a woman"
The severest legal punishment
even the death penalty--is not too
great; but this Is tot enough. It
should be as swiftly executed as Is
consistent with the due process Of
law The law in every state should
provide for ar immediate trial in
these cases. The deterrant effect Of
legal punishment is greatly enhanced
by having 1t follow the crime quickly.
Justice delayed Is justice Denied"
In these cases, both TO the state and
to the poor victims and their parents
and friends.

An Outrage on the public.

From the philadalphia Presss
A day or two ago q dispatch was
sent over the country from Bluefeld,
w. Va, describing a particularly
atrocious lynching which 1t was as.
serted had occurred In Devon, In the
same state. A colored man, 1t Is
said. had been seized by a mob and
after having been subjected to all
manner of ~cruelties was skinned and
burned alive. All newspapers did
not publish the story, as 1t was so
revolving as to arouse suspicion as to
its truth.
This suspicion, It appears. was well
founded. The Parkersburg. w. Va,
Sentinel says: THE story from Blue
field that q negro had been skinned
by an Infatuated mob near there was
not true, no. was there any founda-
ton for 1t. The entire story was
made out of the whole CLOTH" Some
one who Imagined that Il would be a
smart trick to gull the public proba-
bly, started the story and sent 1t over
the wires and then laughed In his
sleeves At his a~cuteness. He looked
at II as a Joke on the public.
Instead Of being . joke. however,
n was a gross outrage. The public
mind Is now In : state Of peculiar
sensitiveness on the subject Of mob
law. In such Z situation every &C
count Of = lynching Is liable TO add
to the popular pxcitsmcnt and arouse.
the passions to that white heat where
they are uncomfortable. The man or
set Of men who for their own bru-
tai pleasure contribute to such q ait
uation commits : crime. The manu-.
