LOO AN Z. BLXOKLZY DKAD.
With Logan E. Blackley there pisses another landmark that moored
Georgia to a past of vivid reminiscence and of striking Individuality.
Jurist, justice, philosopher, wlt.pdet and philanthropist. Judge Bleck
ley was In every phase of hla remarkable life endeared to the hearts and to
the minds of ihe jwople of Georgia. Few men within the stormy generations
of which be has been a part, have bean mors prominently In the mind
and on the lip of hla contemporaries than Ihe distinguished Georgian who
lias passed away amoog the mountains that be loved.
The bar of Georgia baa alwdya been one of Ihe strongest and moat
Individual In lbs Bouth. And thera la not a lawyer In lla ranks from the
briefless barrister lo Ihe wealthiest corporation altomey, who did not
hold and express admiration and affection for Judgs Bleckley.
The social" life of Allanta and of Georgia I* perhaps aa rich and as
varied as any In thp republic, and lltere Is not a circle Into which this
venerable and striking Individuality waa not welcomed aa an tirade and
a wit.
No state In the I'nlon baa higher moral standards or a larger life of
philanthropy and ethics than Georgia, and this brilliant aod virile mind
that mugiilfled "Truth In Conduct." "Truth at tbs Bar," aod “Truth In So
ciety." was one of the recognized and vital forces In that higher life which
represented the best and most enduring things In Georgia.
The Individuality which at the age of H could enter the University of
Georgia aa a freshman, waa not greater rttaa that which, arrayed In the
robes of a chief Juatlce. couhl punctuate or puncture the plaaa of great at
torneys and counselors with the sharp and remorseless principles of the
law. ' *
Georgia will in I as l-ogan E. Bleckley even at the age at which she loses
him. for Georgia has never known any wane or decay In tha Intellect and
vitality of thla remarkable citizen. To the last day of hla life and health
lie was a pari of every company and of every community In which lie
llvrd-ia vital. Interesting and compelling pari. Hla Judgments were re-
lerred lo. Ills epigrams were admired, hla wit waa applauded and hla high
and Incomtptlbld Integrity commanded always the respect of hla fellow
There Is no titan In the Georgia of today who It just like Logan K.
Bleckley, and therefore no man to exactly lake hla. place. Oeorgla lias
other sons or liitellect. of Individuality, of striking character and of pic-
tureaque and dauntless temper; but there li no figure just fitted In Its pro
portions and In their combination to fill the vacant place which I-ogan E.
Bleckley leavea In hla psaaage lo a better world.
There be not thousands, but tens of thousands In Georgia today who
will drop a sigh and perhaps a tear of sincere regret upon the bier of the
brave old citizen lying asleep III hla Georgia hills.
And they who loved him moat and now survive him may console
themselves with the reflection that he has left behind him not only thu
virile record of usefulness and power and service and Individuality, but
that he has bequeathed to all hla generation that good name which la
rather lo lie chosen than the great riches which he never sought and never
won.
SOME FACTS FOB OUB IMMIGRATION 800IETY.
The Ktate of Georgia and tho entire South are passing through a pe
riod of very great liiterent and excitement over the question of Immigra
tion.
We hitvc given the Georgia Immigration Aanoclatlon the a3*ut*anre of
our imloraement of ito plana along the very careful and considerate linea
of Its preaent organization, and we shall be glad at all times to give our
co-oi>eration to the IntelliRent and conservative efforts which It makes to
ward the end which It haa In view.
This does not, however, and must not. preveut us from bringing to
(lie attention of the association any serious threat or danger which seems
to menace Its prosperity and usefulness, nor In lifting our voices In warn
ing against any mistakes Into which It may possibly fall.
It Is perhaps by these means that we can render our best efforts and
assistance to the association and to the cause which It has uudertaken. And
now we ask the serious consideration of Manager Betjeman and his as
sociate* to these figures taken from page 8 of the annual re|K>rt of the
commissioner of Immigration for the year ending June 30. 1900. This reje
resents the Immigrants landed upon our shores during that period with
tho countrlos from which they come, and with tha number of those
who are Illiterate when they get here.

desirable ravei. ami that 65.000. nr more than one-fourth of those who
were lauded. could neither read nor write In any language.
The Itnpreaalon which we derive front these figures Is ot the great dta
position of the undesirable and Illiterate to come to this new c ountry, and
of the apparent difficulty of Inducing those who ere desirable to erbas the
ocean tn make their homes in a strange country. •
Aa a general role, people who are of good character and well-to-do,
manage to lie moderately nueceaafut and happy In any country and ate not
likely to be easily persuaded to move their residences In such a revolution
ary wa> as to cross 3.000 miles of ocean and perhaps 1.000 tulles of land,
and start all over In a new country under different conditions.
As s general rule ll Is only the discontented and the thriftless who
■In that and these are the classes which we are earnestly hoping that the
Georgia evaugels of Immigration will avoid.
It Is alarming also to consider the dumber or the Illiterates who
come to this country—over 5*3.000 out of 1.100.000. or more than one-
fourth ot the entire Incoming tide. We spend a vast amount, of moaay in
this country tn Imlld school houses In Ihe I'nlted States and to enact laws
for hotter education. Of course, the Influx of this vast army of the Illiter
ate Is likely to complicate this problem and to enlarge the burden of our
expense.
We commchd the lesson and the warning of these figures to our state
Immigration association and ask Ita fervent consideration to their sig
nificance.
GEORGIA S MOST FAMOUS WOMAN JOURNALIST.
Mrs. Merle Louise Mvrlck. of Aiucricus, Is a visitor to Allanta today.
And Mrs. Marie Louise My rick IkTSo longer the editor of The Atnericus
Times Recorder, but la now a private eltlxen, seeking rest and cultivating
re|*
The n-tlienithi of ilils remarkable woman from the edlioiiiniprlelor-
hip of The Amorim. Times Recorder closes for e time one of ihe moat ac-
and virile careers in the history of Southern women.
The question ul woman a tact and woman s force iu public affairs
Uv
baa been discussed to varying conclusions, but there le no doubt any
where existing either In South Georgia or In North Oeorgla. that this
woman Id the years of her Incumbency made the paper which represented
her brains and her personality a distinct and potential force not only In
commerce, but even more especially tn the political life of her section and
of the state.
Courage of the highest order, Initiative never lacking, industry that
never flagged, the most unflinching loyalty to friends and to convictions,
and a capacity both to love and to hate, were the distinctly human traits
which In this Indomitable personality developed and maintained power
and Influence lo a degree which no woman and few men have enjoyed In
Journalism In any section of the country.
Equally remarkable with her political triumphs was that strong busi
ness capacity 1 which, where so many men htd failed, carried the finan
cial affairs of the daily and weekly Tlmes-Recorder through so many
years up to the,day when she saw fit to lay Its responsibilities upon an
other. Within this period Mrs. Myrlck has recorded the birth and death
of seven competitor*'to her newspaper In Americus. She has superin
tended the smallest and most minute datall of the business-affairs of her
paper; has dictated every policy and almoat every editorial; has made e<-
cry rontrartfslgned every deed, and perfected every plan by which the
lUtlier lias been made not only self-sustaining but profitable.
Aud. ay the conclusion, selling out for a good round sum paid In
hand, she (retire. Iu comparative* affluence and with undlmlnished prestige
Irom a field in which she has been one of the most striking and distin
guished figures for twenty years, and In which her happy and truthful
Isutst Is that she never turned her hack upou a friend or upon a foe.
Id bdbalf of (he entire profession we wish this indomitable and suc
cessful wumatijnauy happy years of the rest and health and quiet which
■he haa so richly deserved. May all the benedictions of peace and tran
quillity tie hdr* during her years of voluntary retirement.
And If the time should come when she sees fit once more U> "take

come her as one of (hose who are never lost and never discounted in the
battles of our public life.

goes on and tells of the aun, the moon

awful place called hell. And then when
Adam and Eve had sinned and the
Otnl of heaven walked in the garden
and called for them and they had hid
on account of their disobedience, did
God say to then* Unless you repent
of your sins ami get forgiveness for
your sin that after death I will shut
you up In yon dark and dismal hell
and torment you or have tlie devil to
fio it for ever and ever? But not a
word whs mentioned about hell, al
though tnv contention Is that that was
the time for God to have put Adam
Hnd Eve and tlielr posterity on notice
of the reality of a place of evarlaatlng
punishment for the wicked. But God
passed sentence upon them, and this
is what He aald to Adam: “Henceforth
where thou tillest th© ground It shall
bring, forth tlmrns and thistles, and In
the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread till thou return to the earth.
For dust thou art. and unto dust shalt
return.*’ Oh the pity of It J That the
Great and Hood God forgot to warn
Adam or helt torments! And again,
when (.’aIn slew Abel, would have been
a good time to have put the children
of men on notice of the existence of
tlujt awful place. And I want to say
Just here that If God bail mentioned It
on either of the above occasions the
Mubjet t w ould never have come up for
discussion. /

OVER THE STARS FAR AWAY.
Over the atars and far away
There Im no end to space, they say;
*Tls filled with billions of worlds un
known,
And space extends on and on:
And Aery world reflects a golden ray
over In the mysterious far away.
Over the stars and far away.
Over where the Immortals stray.
No human mind can comprehend
The length of space; It has no end.
How would you like to go and stay
Over with the angels far away ?
Over doubt and far away
I’m sure I heard my Savior say:
He patient, poor soul; God Is good.
All things by Him are understood.
You shall live forever and a day
over death and far away,
Over In heaven far away.
