The Cigarette Habit. ffrlast session of the Georgia legislature law prohibiting the sale of rigs- jtUeTand cigarette tobacco to minors but Saw does not seem to have diminished pales to any perceptible extent. About linany boys are seen upon the streets of ta smoking cigarettes as there were be. law was enacted and cigarette tealefs in Savannah say that their sales v1nereased.

There seems to be a moral In this story which might be read and pondered with profit. Northern and Southern Missions.

Mr. Henry editor of The Journal has been recently addressing the reform club of Boston and his re marks are significant If not important. Mr. Watterson is one of the few men of his time who look beneath the surface of things- who perceive the drift and tendency of at- fairs and who looks at matters in a large and imaginative way. What he says is not only interesting on its own account but because of the individuality which he manages to inject into it.

But the tact that Mr. Watterson or any other southern man is called to take the platform at the north is something more than significant. It probably has a deeper meaning than that which is commonly attached to it. What sou of a condescension is it that caused Mr. Grady to be invited to speak at the north cr that causes Mr.

Vat- terson to appear before the reform club of Boston There is something or other at the bottom of it. Mr. Wattcrsoii talk is all that could be expected of a level-headed minded man. It is manly and independent a crushing and unanswerable characterization of the political situation but after all what dose it amount to The pretence of Mr. Watterson in Boston is interpreted to be an apology for the south a vague and nameless apology it is true but yet an apology.

Ye observe that no northern orators are making' speeches or delivering lectures in the south and the fact is significant. What Mr. Watterson says of the unity of the people is true enough and tlie point has beets made before but we have not seen it dwelt on or magnified in any northern newspaper. That WI are one race and one people seems to be certain that we have one destiny seems to be equally certain but the reply to Mr. Wattersons speech the inevitable suggestion that seems to hit off as it were the attitude of the north makes its appearance in The Springfield RepublI- can a newspaper that is friendly in a general way to the south.

The Republican says that Mr. Wattersons address is very good capital indeed but that the whole situation may be summed up in the remark that those who suppress negro votes have no right to present themselves before the northern public with any expectation of receiving sympathy. Our own Impression is now Pond has been for some years that the south would do well to be less on the defensive than It has been that it would become us to be less sensitive and thin-skinned. We believe it will be time enough for southern orators and lecturers to make a parade at the north and explain our position with regard to the negro problem when northern public men come to the south and explain or attempt to explain the attitude of their people toward the negroes in their section the negroes whom they crowd out of all employment except the most menial. We are rot sure that the matter needs any explanation we do not for instance Insist that northern orators should make their way hither for the sole purpose of explaining why the negroes of the south are compelled to rush around like the dogs of Constantinople hunting for II.

bone. Nevertheless if the north is in earnest if it loves the negroes as it pretends if it believes in justice if it is of the opinion that a a man white or colored should live by the sweat of his brow and the cunning of his hand its orators should be in alfparts of the south telling us why it is that the negroes of the north have no opportunity to earn their living while all the avenues are open to the np ro men and women of the south. To discuss this subject we invite the great statesmen of the north to visit us at their leisure and snake such remarks as will bear repetition in the newspapers. On this subject Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts might make a great point and If he would tell the naked truth about it it would be the event of his life.

A Celebrated Case. The trial of BirchaU for the murder of young Benwell which has just ended with a verdict of guilty will go on record as one of the most famous in criminal history. From first to last the trial was one of absorbing interest and it progress was eagerly watched by the people of two continents. The summoning and retention of witnesses and indeed the whole conduct of the case entailed an enormous expense upon the crown and the case on both sides WI handled in a masterful manner. With the circumstances of the murder and the incidents of the trial the public is already' familiar so that it may be hardly necessary to recite them here.

This man who la now under sentence of death resided in Canada. lie was It. man of small means If any and as was brought out in the trial without visible means of support. crossed the ocesato secure his victim anc by false representations lured him to Canada. Arrived in that country Birthall knew that hi deception must become apparent tli young man had money which he was to Invest with Birchallin in a farm which did not exist.

Blrchall was desperate he needed money he had deceived Ben well and was losing his hold- upon him they started put to gether on the rrt ofTebnorjJart Ip Infestig Interested andnb on kD wifmjibnt aouldl precaution to ut the dead man was found. They would not nave known JnameJttt for a liolder which the murderer had overlooked jand which was found by his victims ld4 Birchall was arrested lie had been seen with Benwell by hostrbfwit- nesses seen with him on the. day of the murder near the spot where the body was found. Fully fifty witnesses Identified him positively in court it was dear from' the very first that fireball had murdered his friend Jut what surprised one most in this trial was the coolness of the prisoner. He never lost his even when witnesses like the ghosts in the play arose and pointed the accusing finger at him with the utmost Indifference he came and went the obrect of all eyes while witnesses were fixing the guilt of Denwells murder upon him he leaned back smilingly in the prisoners dock and sketched their faces.

To the last he was firm and composed but his indifference was not that of an innocent man his idea was to brave his way to an acquittal but the evidence. though. circumstantial was overwhelmingly against him and the verdict which demands his life is a just one which no man will question. The story antedating this murder and Us terrible sequel Is replete with Interest. Were Poe alive he could weave a thrilling romance from it.

But it might point amoral as well a furnish the plot for a tale. It is an awful witness to the truth of the adage- Murder wnl out. For all Blrchalls precautions in covering up his crime a name upon a holder which was burled in the snow gleamed like a ray of light from its icy bed and furnished a clue which was the most important factor In his conviction. There's no security for the murderer the pools run dry and reveal his victims face the winds whirl the leaves from the body hidden in the heart of the woods the earth trembles and rends the mound under which the murdered lies and there is no safe shelter for the secret murderer. Aye.

though he's burled in a cave And trodden slows with stones And years have rotted on his flesh The world will see bill bones. Atlanta's Hospitality. Georgia hospitality is proverbial. It exists not in name alone but it is a. living reality.

It has stood every test. It has hSVer been found wanting. So too with the hospitality of Atlanta- the hearty welcome of her people to the- via- tor within her gates. For several days past the women at the lead of the local unions of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union have been engaged in a. canvass of the city with a view to finding in the homes of our people accommodations for the delegates and visitors to the national convention of that great tern- erance society which Is to be held here in November.

We do not know to what extent these efforts have been successful but there can be no doubt of their ultimate Success. These women come to Atlanta upon the hearty Invitation of the state and city ernnsenta and of the citizens generally and they will be welcome visitors. They are noble women earnest workers In a good cause and the homes of our people will doubtless be thrown open to them during their stay in Atlanta. This should be the case and it will be and those who attend the convention in Atlanta will have reason to remember it as one of the pleauntest in the history of the union. CLINTON J.

Communicated. a INGRATITUDE TO FRIEXDS. A. Review of Colonel T. Warren Akin.

of Bartow. Ax HOME nARrOW COCSTT GA. September 29. Editor Atlanta Constitution It is a notable fact that Colonel T. Warren Akin.

of this county has entered the congressional contest in this district as director generator sta manager for Hon. S. W. Everett. It is a free country and nobody objects but the readers of THE TioN to other parts of the state feroci paign THE ices.

Hon tie should bare a statement of levis to show why Colonel T. Warren is thus conducting himself or ho might accorded more attention than tine matter deserves. In Dr. Fettons absence I desire to place published" utterances for general information in a pefeotly candid and dispassionate way. Perhaps so other person than Dr.

Fettonor Gr myself is aisle to do so therefore I ask space in your columns for a brief explanation ofi this subject. Colonel T. Warren was a opponent in the Lester cam- Se wrote a series of Jitter articles in STiTtTios over the signature of -Citing that canvass he wrote a letter to Stephens asking a reply for publica- Injure Dr. Felton. The reply he refused isis.

That reply is in my hands nted by Colonel T. Warren in later years. copy a few lines to show its tenor. Under date of August 21 rf78 addressed to T. Warren kin Cartersvllle Ga.

Mr. Stephens wrote I have no hesitancy in saying that if I were In the seventh district I should support Dr. Felton in thu present contest This 1 fhould do because of his acknowledged ability unquestioned lateg. lily anti spotless character wtl1 that experience in public affairs at Washington which enables him 10 render wore effective set-rice tohiseon- ttitnenw than any new man could do however eminent his virtues and abilities might be MT advice to his constituent including the YOUII rjicn as well as the cll who have 1:0 object politics hut good government would to say to him at the polls Well lone good sod faithful servant. In politics as to most other matters it is always well to let well enough atone.

Yours truly ALEXANDER H. Svvsnrvs Colonel T. Warren suppressed the letter hut under elate of Ft tinnier 7. 1883 five years la he addressed the following to r. Ieiton here copy CARTIItSViLLE September 7 1833.

Dear fair I pow Inch-Be Mr. Stephens' letter. In iulisbt the remarkable inconsistency of ti last campaign grows stranger. Is it soy wonder that he could not induced to race the consistent in defeat and the organized democrats of the seventh. When celebrity can sanction inconsistency ana a great name sanctity lII rtitid then sill Mr.

Stephcnss example in that campaign be worth the emulation of vocceeiing generations. For the sake of those yttito. follow it Is to be hoped that Mr. Steplieus4 fkjgrapliers wilt not forget to head this chapter ttitlitul to Site Friends. Very truly THOMAS WinaEn AKIN.

Dr. V. II. FeltonElarterville tie. Now for the point I desire to make.

In last Sunday's CussflrLTluN ices a dispatch from Rome September Yth in these words Sir T. Warren Akin spoke of Yeltons record hi speech in Au. gusts II few years ego. and an article that ap peered in The Chicago Tribune about the same time sod other charges against Dr. Felton.

The article In The Chicago Tribune appeared in 1879 eleven years ago. The speech in Augusta was delivered in January 1882 newly nine years ago and Mr. Akns charge of ingratitude was nude seven years ago. Remember the dates. All persons acquainted with too Gordon contest are aware that Colonel T.

Warren was a Bacon supporter. When the people of sow met to send delegates to Atlanta In July 1886 Colonel T. Warren introduced Dr. Felton in these words as reported by THE COXSTITCTIOX Dr Felton began an address to his followers which he continued until 1 o'clock. Colonel Warren Akin introduced th5 doctor speaking feelingly of the manner in which Tier Cossmu TIOS had abused him and reminded the people time and again that tile ist ae was out between Gordon anti Bacon but between TILE CoXSTITU- TroX and Dr.

Felton. You will find the resolution introduced also by Colonel T. Warren in your files pledging support to each candidates se were fairly nominated and are proper persons for the office and no others. You feel interested to. know of course why Colonel Akin wM so devoted In 5586 after his ferocity In 1878.

You would like to Inquire why he condoned the Augusta speech and Chicago article in 1880 to revive hi antagonism In this rood year 18915 In the fewest possible words I will reply He was running for the legislature in this county in the year issu and wanted help He stead Dr. Felton all over the county from the tilth to Altoona from Euharlee to Stamp creek. He was a JeltoB man from head to foot. Dr. Felton made a speech in Augusta four years before bad an article in a Chicago paper seven yean before but he didn't tear his hair about them as he now doing at Rome said other places.

When the state agricultural convention met In Cartersvtlle August 1286 the members present rwin remember Colonel T. Warrens Introduction of Dr. on Look In your paper. August llth and read these words Mr Akin paid a tribute to the county of Bestow closing by eloquently Introducing Dr. Fettosi.

He did not fall in the Introduction to strike It. small blow at the organized democrats" and called Dr. Felton the cyclonic terror of the seventh. Now Messrs. Editors what say you to Ctfonel T.

Warrens opposition now If he was consistent In refuting to publish Mr. Stephens' advice in 1878. was be consistent in the small blow' at organized democrat In 1888 If Dr. relzon was unworthy In 1878 and 1883 as Colonel Akin would Impress the people now Stow was it be was so toTe-orthy In 1856 It proved an impoBsibillty to elect Colonel Akin to the legislature In spite- of his small blows" at democrats and bir- violent advocacy' of Dr. Flta.
