Intelligencer. PubUshed'every Wednesday. J. F. CLINK3CAI.ES, ) EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, S PKOPRIKTOR?J. ONE YEAR, - - - - $1 50 SIX MONTHS. - - - 76 WKDNESDAY, DEC. ll, 1901. ? Geo. Chandler has vetoed the dis-" pensary bill passed a few days ago by the Georgia legislature. - mm ? mm The Georgia Legislature has passed a resolution calling upon thc national government to appropriate to the Southern States for educational pur poses the $105,000,000 which is in thc national treasury accrued from the cotton claims fund and thc sale of abandoned lands. A bill to reduce thc South's repre sentation in Congress has been rein troduced in that body. President McKinley killed the scheme in the last session by announcing that he would not sign the bill. President Roosevelt has said that he will follow the policy of thc McKinley adminis tration. -- m-mm In the latest iigurcs of thc census it appears that there are in this country 1,800,000 more men than women. In Eurolie the difference is thc other way. It would seem, therefore, thf.t. thc disposition in international mar riages should be modified. Instead of Europeans seeking American brides duo regard for census statistics should change the search to one for American husbands. The Southern Railway's fast train, which has been operated each winter between Xew York and Florida, will hereafter be known as the Southern's Palm Limited and tho initial trip will be made early ic January. Its equip ment will consist of luxurious ob servation, club, dining and compart ment sleeping cars, and it will bc in every respect the most magnificent, train ever operated in thc South. mm . Thc statistician of tho department of agriculture reports 0,074,000 bales as tho probable cotton producion of tho United States in 1901-1902. The area picked, or to be picked, is esti mated at 20,802,230 acres, a reduction of 730,216 acres, or 2.6 porccnt of the acreage planted. The total produc tion of lint cotton is estimated at 4, 629,954,000 pounds, an average of 169 pounds per acre, picked or to be pick ed._ James Farrell, of harbours vii le, West Virginia, who recently celebra ted the one hundred and fifth anniver sary of his birth, served in the war of 1812 and later waa in Mexioo, under Jefferson Davis. When the war be tween the Statea broke ont he enlist ed, although no longer a young man, and saw four years of service. He was probably the oldest veteran to offer his serv?tes to the government when the Spanish war broke out. In Chicago any boy over 10 years old who is spanked by a teaoher or parent has a remedy at law in the form of an injunction. In a decision a few deys ago Judge Tuthill said boys over 10 years should not be spanked. "It does not do a boy any good after that," said the Court, "and, I fear, does him much harm." Theso remarks did not escape tho notice of some thousands of small boys. They bought news papers; and with thc words of tho Court heavily underscored, gavo the papers to teachers and parents. <m *? m Free trado woula increase our ex port trade with Cuba, which is a natu ral market for us, but which has never been tho customer i* should be, and which it will become under a free trade polioy. But for the Senate's inexcusable action Cuba would now be United States territory. Some day ;t will be, as Porto Rico is now. IP. th*? meantime there should be frr.e trr.de with Cuba as Well as with all of cur island possessions. The logio of thc situation demands this. It is to be hoped that tho Geuernl Assembly, at its next session, will re district the State, and do away with the ill-formed and ill-advised districts as they stand at present. The rights of the franchise are now so secure that there is no longer any necessity for keeping up tho present lines. When the State was redistricted be fore, the cry was made that it was nc ceasar3' because it was the only way to retaiu white Representatives. This bugaboo no longer exists, and there can bo no good reason to continue the present arrangement. A hundred things happen evory week that thc newspaper man never sees. Ho does tho best ho can, keeps his eyes and ears open, but he is only a human being and neither omniscient nor omnipresent. You often wonder why this or that was not published, and maybe you say newspapers have their favorites. A local newspaper docs its best to give all the news and will gladly publish any item of general interest. But before you oensure be certain that you have done your psri. , Either send the news to the office or Anvite a reporter to . como where the Thc Anderson Lynching. Lynching is not to bc tolerated at a great distance from the critic. It is very materially diff?rent when the ground for the lynching is nt your door and among your neighbors, or per chance nearer still. In Anderson a ne gro ex-convict passing a country house and finding only a young married wo man in charge, demanded something to eat. Hoing given baked potatoes, the only cooked food in the house, he cursed her'and then as she lied deliberately shot her. Whereupon neighbors hunt ed him down and took his life. Now if tho death penalty is sound this fellow deserved it anti deserved it quick. The i objection to lynching is in the possi bility of a mistake, in the facility of the | operation. In this case it appears that j tho identity of the assailant was well ascertained. The Anderson people made no mistake. If the incident had happened up in Maine we might criti cise it. lint the circumstances make the monstrous difference.-htnreuu Arfrtr/isrr. Meeting of Executive Board.
