Buck to Japan fills post as minister. Nobles faces hangin
Col. E. A. Buck has been appointed minister to Japan with a $12,000 salary. Mrs. Elizabeth Nobles has been resentenced to hang on Friday, April 23. The Georgia Baptist Convention closed a harmonious Gainesville session and the Evening Constitution suspended publication after a net loss. Capt. Evan P. Howell sold his stake in the Atlanta Constitution to Hugh T. Inman, likely not changing paper policy after twenty years in management.

Southern reply praises independence from Northern capital
A Virginia correspondent lauds the Barnesville Gazette for defending southern self reliance after the war. He cites Danville's cotton factory success with two and a half million dollars, 3000 workers, and 10 percent dividends to argue northern money is a drain. He calls southern capital a sober, pragmatic path to prosperity and dismisses charitable northern interference. Barnesville endorses the stance with a ready chorus.
