This paper is edited and entirely
COTTON up and run by Southern
force. The writer is Southcrner
born and bred and both speaks and
comes pretty near, despite the stiff
pack rules with which he is beset
about, writing the melodious and soft
as well as characteristic pure South
ern dialect. Methinhs that the dis
covery CT o few expressions in our
columns so rendered has perhaps
accounted for our being taken to task
upon etymology. When your pencil
pusher speaks to or of one Of the sons
of Ham, he says Niger and SO
puts it down. Wh.n we refer to that
pure and sparkling fluid which all
drink we say water" with the soft
sound of "A' and r. " When we
address a gentleman, with true old
Southron chivalric, we give him the
advantage of the III and r in sir =
shorn of it's harsh accent, making it
sub. And so on. We shall continne
to do so in spite of precise Webster,
stiff tongued Englishmen, and exact
ing Northerners. A Southern man
we are and a Southern newspaper
we run. This with all due Difference
to our Northern and English cousins.
All we want and all we take is the
privilege of our Provincial broguc,
whether or not we buttress stiff lac
ed and unbending spelling precept
and command. We pledge our read
ers that we shall in the continuance
of this policy do no violence to our
common language, if anything we
shall relieve it of some of it's appall-
ing harshness, ard engraft into it
some CT tie sweet Southern cadences
pronunciation, which we as a part CT
the vast multitudes that speak it,
have a right to so stamp it.

Following close upon the Atlanta
race riot, perhaps as its literary aft
ermath, a unique monthly magazine
will begin publication in Atlanta in
November under the title of 1.-THE
Race Question and Southern Sympo-
sum-. This magazine, its publish
erS announce, will be monographic in
character, handling the negro prob
lem from the standpoint of sociology,
and political economy. Tt will in Lo
wise be an organ Of incendiary agita-
ton, but will discuss the race issue
dispassionately from the viewpoint
of the Southern white man, and be q
reflex of Caucasian sentiment. Each
issue will contain special articles by
special articles by leading public men
and thinkers, who have made the ne
gro study, and a large part of the
magazine will be devoted to a free
for-all symposium of popular ideas on
the race question and subjects there
to related, as the South S labor prob
lem, foreign immigration, cotton
production, etc The best newspap-
er comment OF these subjects will be
reproduced, and it will be full of con-
densed and meaty matter of a dis
tinctively Southern character. The
printed prospectus declares that:
This publication will stand, editOri-
ally, for the imperious but magnani-
nous Anglo-Saxon, who dominates
and will ever dominate, politically,
materially and morally, the human
affairs of this great section OF our
common country. It will try to be
just, but it has no compromise or
tempOrization to offer unholy race
warnings, hatreds and crimes. :"

human breast, the one to endure
would be love There would be q
rush to grasp loves final opportunity,
Mothers would gather their children
about them, and there would be no
impatiehce, no putting aside of both
ering little arms, no Withholding OF
caresses because they disarrange hair
or lace.
There would be 10 turning the
boys out into the street for the rea-
son that in their play at home they
were prone to make havoc with the
tides on the chairs and the bric-a-
brac on the shelves. There would
be no lack of knowledge as to where
the girls are in the evening or at
train time, when the depot is swarm
ing with loafers. Indifferent hus-
bands and nagging, pickering wives
would forego their GOODNESS and their
quarreling, to vie with each other to
redeem the pass during the brief time
allotted them Friends would be
more faithful, lovers more true, as
sociates more thoughtful of each 9th
er's comfort as the swift hours sped
away But we need no bulletin
from heaven to acquaint us with the
briefness of loves opportunity. The
spand of our day is already set, and
we wonder if the thought of home to
us may not quicken us to improve
the chance to brighten our homes
with the full and constant shining of
love that is in our hearts, although
dimmed and corroded by the sordid
environments OF life.

The management of this paper has
long refrained from installing Job
Printing adjunct from two well groun-
ded reasons i. e., that we did not be-
live the situation was ready for that
feature of business, then that we did
not have facilities to handle same with
out neglect of the newspaper proper.
It mas been In our mind ever, that
we would not commit the error that
so maiiy country weeklies do, in de
voting the major part of their time
and talent to the job printing and
DETECTING thereby from the literary
and mechanical appearance of their
papers. Tt shall be our settled poll
cy, now that we have become con-
WINGED that there is support sufficient
to justify the installation of Job out
fit if we can but secure it, and placed
same in,-to continue in giving the
newspaper right of way We have
been proyidentially favored in secu-
ring the force to handle our Job de-
partment without detriment to the
conducting of the paper with all that
careful, studious, and appellant atten-
ton that would characterize our eff
forts upon it, were there no Job
printery connected with our estab
Ishmcut.

We would especially counsel every
man woman and child in this section
of the country to zealously avoid al
lowing any fire to get caught out in
tie woods. Along in the Spring
time in previous years it has been q
custom growing into greater favor to
burn off the woods in order to destroy
the dead grass and decaying leaves
to make room for the new crop of
grass end improve range for cattle
and other stock. Should fires ravage
over sections now in which timber is
down in such huge and high piles,
the flames would leap up high and
greatly damage and destroy the tim
Der left standing and unhurt by the
Storm.

The worms will not attack the fall
len timber until next May, so that
those interested have about six
months of severe struggle before
them to prevent large losses. The
great obstacle is the scarcity of both
skilled and unskillcd reliable labor,
but higher remuneration will draw
workers to this lucrative field of en-
ployment, and soon from all the near

PARENTAL love, conjugal love, fl
lial love are keystone to that arch
that supports the pillars of govern
ment and keeps our social system
secure. As a rule anarchists have no
children. No nothing to love but
themselves. As rule the poor love
their children better than the rich,
for riches will in time absorb a man
and absorb his best emotions. With
the poor the children are first, with
the rich they are second. The law of
compensation comes into everything
in this life. The good and the bad
the joys and the sorrows are kindly
mixed by wise Providence Then
let us all be content with our lot. Let
US not look over the fence to envy
our neighbor, for we know not his
secret sorrows. Let us not trouble
our own house for fear we shall in
herit the wind.

doth safely trust in her. She will do
him good and not evil al the days of

strength and strctcheth out her hand
to the poor; yea, she giveth aid to
the needy. She maketh herself COW
erings of tapestry; her clothing is

is known in the gates. Strength
and sonor are her clothing. She
openeth her mouth with wisdom, and

HABITS formed in youth are very
apt to stick to you in after life.
Young people who now spend every
dollar they can raise, are not apt to
be thrifty in after life. Those who
go in rude company and use rude
language will naturally associate with
the rude class in years to come. Many
parents never seem to think of those
things. but allow their children to
3rift along just as it may happen.
