A REVELATION TO HIM.
The visit to southwest Georgia OF
Hon. Pleasant A. StOvall, who deliver
ed the Memorial address in Dawson,
was revelation to him. Upon his re-
turn home he printed lengthy and
interesting account of his trip to this
section of Georgia in his paper, the
Savannah Press, which is reproduced
elsewhere in The News.
southwest Georgia is the garden
spot of the state" as MIR. Stovall says,
and that is always the verdict of every
unbiased person who comes among our
people and learns what progress is be-
ing made along every line of advance
ment.
The most productive agricultural
section of the state, keeping step to
the march of industrial progress, with
school houses and churches lifting
their steeples in every direction,
southwest Georgia is indeed the most
favored spot of God fOOtstOOl
THE cane growers convention,
which was in session last week in Ma
con, was one CT the most important
gatherings that has ever assembled in
Georgia. Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson and many other prominent
men we're present from all parts of the
United States, and there were MANY
interesting and instructive papers and
talks heard during tie session.
THE Philadelphia Record suggests
that since ex-PresideLt CLEVELAND has
emphatically declared against third
term, and since the vast majority of
his fellow citizens heartily concur
with him (which is much more to the
purpose), it is well to definitely aban-
don the subject and return to the or
der of the day.
MRS. MYRICK's Americas Times
Recorder has just celebrated its twen-
ty-fifth anniversary. 1t is one OF the
brightest and newsiest of the smaller
dailIes of the state, and The News
wishes that it may become a centena-
rian with its present charming and
talented editress still at the helm.
COLONEL WATTERSON is again
watching the smart set. The report
that gowns are to be made of trans
parent fabrics" and that skirts are to
have mo trimmings to cover up the
nakedness of the transparencieS" is
exceedingly worrying to the editor of
the Courier-Journal.
A POSTMASTER in the far-off Philip
pines is To experience seven years of
imprisonment for beneYolently assimi-
lating government funds. THAT gra-
cious and unique process, says the
Sparta Ishmaelite, twas originated for
application solely to the Filipinos and
their holdings"
The Southern Baptist Convention
was entertained last week in Savan-
nah. 1t was one of the most important
religious conferences that has ever
been held in the country, and many
prominent dlvines of that denomina
ton from all parts OF the south were
present.
IT was clearly shown a few days ago,
when whites and blacks took seats on
opposite sides of the house in the re-
publican conference at Montgomery,
that at least one of the views of the
president is not entirely in harmony
with those of some of the members of
his party.
DOESN'T it seem little out of the
bounds of propriety that Macon should
have a cane-raising convention at the
same time Rome is entertaining
Sunday school conference, Atlanta a
correction gathering and Savannah a
Baptist assembly?
IT is said that the ratification of the
Panama canal treaty by the Colombian
government might cause a revolution
in that country To think that such
an important proceeding should be

If those New York churches really
become proprietors of pawn shops
won't it be somewhat incorrect to
speak of what is generally regarded of
