A short time apO-nOt So very long

A short time ago-not SO very long
either. the whole country was shocked
and Mortified and considerably flabber-
degasted by the piteous wailings of
our Southern brethren over the unpro-
tected condition OF the southern white
women and their danger from the as
saults of ''burly' Negroes who lay in
wait in every thicket and behind every
fence-corner waiting to assail them.
But from the cessation of such walls,
we infer that the white Southern sister
is getting along rather comfortably,
and can venture to visit her nearest
neighbor with comfortable degree
of security. Were the situation other
wise, we should hear from John Tenn
pie Graves or Gov Vardaman or Tom
my Dixon or other statesmen of like
proficiency in the art Of braying. But
the situation and the characters have
changed and now it is the Northern
white woman who is afraid to leave
home not for fear of the 'fburly" Ne
gro. but on account of doings of dis
reputable members of the highly civil
lied white race. For instance, in
Chicago Mr.. Collins, Chief of Police,
tells the women that they must stay
at home and the Chronicle advises the
women to carry gun loaded with am
monia to squirt in the face of an as
sailant or irritants to Soak him in

the women to leave the South and also

Mayor ShelyertOn, of Austell, Ga,
has set worthy example to other
mayors and county officials of Georgia
in the summary manner in which he
dealt with an immigration agent ply

The agent was given a twenty-min-

tentative, leaving undisturbed the Ia
borers he had planned to toll away
from Georgia to other states.
It is somewhat significant that the
Constitution leaves its readers in ig-
norance as to what race these laborers
belonged, probably for the reason that
it knew that there would be no trouble
in guessing. But the incident shows

made of silvert gilt, and is believed to
have been designed by the celebrated
painter and goldsmith, Lucas Gran

his own hands, for he was one of the
three men selected by Luther as wit.
nesses of his marriage. The design
is complicated and includes the sew

In the center is figure of the
crucified Savior: on one size is the
spear with which His side was pierced
and on the other side the ladder used
at the crucifxion. There, is leaf OF
