1.-TWO FALSE REPORTS. A."

The Macon Telegraph of Wednes
day contained the following editOria
comment on a local affair that ha
become of wide and sensational in
terest:
There are two false and unfair
reports circulating in the Northern
newspapers in regard to the whip
ping of the lewd woman at Dawson.
The first is, she is pictured as
an innocent girl brutally whipped
on account of a chaste love affair
with a young boy who wanted to
marry her The truth is, the wo-
man is a seasoned prostitute, who
was plying her trade when she got
in with the boy.
THE second untruth is that the
incident occurred in Macon, and
the officials of this city are being
roundly roasted. The mayors Of
fee and the Telegraph office here
are being bombarded by lot of
long-haired men and short-haired
women, that holier-than-thou
crowd, who do not forget to sheer
at Southern chivalry,' and so forth,
"The Telegraph does not, in any
degree, condone the offense commit
ted against the person of the WO-
man-we think the boy ought to
have been whipped instead of the
woman-but it must be confessed
that the wiles of a bad woman are
to be seriously reckoned with when
she entices and inveigles the young
son of respectable parents"
The News has printed the plain
facts of this unfortunate affair as
near as it could obtain them, but in
asmuch as the courts will in all prob
ability be called on to investigate
it we have refraihed from editorial
comment, believing that the press
should not dictate to the courts or
do anything to influence or prejudice
public sentiment either for the con-
viction or acquittal of any one. The
laws ought to be enforced without
passion, malice, excitement or any
other interference on the part of the
public.
The affair is a deplorable occur
renee from any point of view, and nc
one can approve of it; but, as bad as
it is, the two reports referred to
above by our Macon contemporary
are not the only exaggerated and
untruthful statements that have
been printed by sensational news
papers, one of the worst of which
was that a negro man held
torch while the whipping was bein;
administered. AS The News ha
said, the affair is deplorable; bu
that is no reason why sensational
newspapers, to satisfy the morbi'
appetite of their readers should prin
such stuff as they have printed, AM
bring reproach and shame on com
munity of intelligent and eAristial
people who are as upright, high
minded and chiyalrous as can b
found in Gods universe.

THE GOVERNORS VETO.

Governor Browns message to the
legislature vetoing the Tippins bill
is one of the strongest of his many
notable state papers. The News re-
grets the situation was such he could
not approve the bill. We recognize
the fact that, in view of his pledge to
the people that the prohibition law
should not be changed without re-
ferring measures affecting it to the
electorate of the state, there was no
other course for him than the one
he pursued.
The governor has faith in the peo-
pie, and many of those who formerly
bitterly opposed him now have faith
in him.

Canadians Heartily Applaud Mr.. Nc
Henry's Remarks and Take His
Suggestions to Heart.

Sears McHenry has been up in
Canada again, looking after his ex-
tensive land interests, and while at
Bredenbury attended meeting of
the Bredenbury Board of Trade. The
Bredenbury World, speaking of the
meeting, says:
During the evening the Board was
honored by much valuable informa-
ton by Mr.. Sears McHenry, president
of the First National Bank of Deni.
son, Iowa, who addressed the meeting
along the lines of what success they
had at his home town in similar bus
mess associations. The speaker de-
clared that these meetings were the
place to engender good feeling be-
tween the business men resulting by
their liberality in building up the
town. Their cooperation with farm
ers in their institute work was also a
good move. Mr.. McHenry pointed out
that in selecting sites for public utili-
ties that this was not a matter to be
dealt with lightly and ground should
be secured as early as possible, as in
after years when land values in
creased they would be harder to get.
The speaker was heartily applauded
and thanked for his kindly sugges-
tons and the interest taken in Bed
enbury's future
The World also speaks further of
Mr.. McHenry by saying:
"a force of men are at work on the
farm of Sears McHenry, two miles
north of town, putting up granary
14x24 and stable 2SX2S. 1t is also
his intention to build seven-room
house this summer Mr.. McHenry is
one of Iowas leading stockmen, Of
which he has many leaders in the
prize ring, and it is understood that
this district is to be the home of some
of the pure-bred stock raised by him."

The public schools are the best
places for sowing the choicest ideas

all children of school age should be
in school. But statistics show that
only a small per cent ever reach the
