Editor Seely Attacks Georgia Truth and Honor
The Macon Telegraph denounces the Atlanta Georgian editor as a character assassin who exaggerates convict abuses to smear Georgia. It challenges Seely to name the white woman, the convict, and the prison involved in a supposed oft-cited “fact” and defends Georgia’s honor against North driven libel. The piece argues the convict system has faults but not as claimed and cites abolition efforts by state leaders and courts.
