MOLD ON TO YOU* BUBAL MAIL DBUVXKIBf.
There Is more of danger than appear* upon the surface in the will
ingness of certain auburbaa reeidenta of Atlanta to allow a discontinu
ance of the rural mall dellvary In the regtoua in which they live.
There are few devetopmeat* of goronuMntel Intereat In the affaire
of tb* people In recent yeara that have been more helpful and more
progressive than the rural mall dallvery. It fa the system by which men
and women living in tha country are bafng brought more and more Into
equality with the people who live la cttles. The rural mall dallvery and
the rural telephone service have done more to place the country upon
an equality with the town than any development! of the tut three deo-
adet.
It is difficult to understand why any of the people living outside of
a city would willingly cut tbenuelvaa off from the -privilege of hav
ing their mall reliably and regularly delivered at their door*. If there
was any irregularity or unreliability in the mall aarvlce we coaid better
understand It, but no department of any government In the world to bet
ter or more reliably conducted than the mall service, of the United
Btates, and thla rural system a* a part of tha general service Is establish-,
ed and conducted along the same line.
Even If a rural resident should be in the habit of coming (o town
every day and getting hie mall at the paetofflee, U would yet be a great
convenience to him In times when he wu held at home by sickness or epi
demic or accident to have delivered to hlmsetr and to-hl* family the mall
which might otherwlie rest for several days In the postottce.
And It look* plcayunlsh beyond salt expression that anyone In thla
prosperous age should begrudge the pitiful sum of 11.00 or 11.60 for put
ting up a box every five years to Inture sjich a privilege a* this.
The great trouble it. If thla service should be withdrawn now In this
prosperous age when the government la liberal and geuarous In Its ex
penditures, that tha time may come whan these indifferent resident*
of rural districts may clamor for the privilege which the government will
not be In the humor to condede.
And so, we would suggest to our friend* of the country districts that
they do not endanger the possibilities of a future great convenience and
comfort to themselves and their families by a little, saiall economy at
this time. ’.
Take whxt God and the government give* you while It la offered, and
don't tempt Providence or politic* to turn aside tha food things that ara
coming your way.
If you don't want the mall delivery for yourself right now, take It
for the sake of your neighbor* and for tha aak* of tha absolute certain
ty that ydu will want the mall delivery In a apaddy tlma to come.
VOTK FOR THE WATER SONDE.
Tha Georgian Joins with Its contemporaries In urging upon tha eltl-
sens ot Atlanta a greater degree of Intereat In the bond election which
|a set for the 9tb ot April.
The city council, after due deliberation, has determined that tha con
dition of the water work* la serious and demands an Immediate and ex
tensive Improvement. The laaue of bond* has been passed upon and de
clared neceisary by our local legislature.
The last day for registration la March 28th, and the election occurs on
April 9th.
Whatever men may think of the general queatlon surrounding this Is
sue of bond*, there can b* no doubt whatever that the water works of At
lanta are Imperfect and .almost dangerous at the preeent time.
Tble being trne, there can be no doobt of the neceaelty of building
them up to the itanlard. Crltlelims however Juat, and apprehensions how
ever well founded which touch other relatione of this question. should not
be allowed to Interfere with the present practical and self evident propo
sition of the necessity ot Immediate Improvements upon the water
works system of the city. ^
We trait that the people will register and vote for the bonds.
THE MACON NEWS AND THE JAMESTOWN FAIR.
Out goes our right hand to The Macon News tor tho gallant fast of
enterprise It has performed for the honor ot Its city aad the Interests of
the Jamestown exposition.
The city council of Mapon, dominated by Influences which can best
explain themselves, declined to appropriate one dollar to provide for Ms-
con's place In the Georgia building at the Jamestown fair. The sentiment
ot the old commonwealth of Vlrglna In Its appeal to the old common
wealth of Georgia, failed to touch the heart or the Judgment or the Macon
city council.
But The Macon News was responsive, and felt the reflection u|mn the
sentiment and the public spirit of that progressiva olty.
And so Tha Naw* went to work In Its own way and with Its own ac
customed teal and gallantry to make Rood tho deficit of official public
sentlmeat. The News worked with a will and The NewsTound a way. and
la three massive headlines on Monday afternoon that paper announces
that the cltliena In private lubseriptlon have made up the thousand dol
lars which puts Macon aide by side with Atlanta', Savannah and Augusta
In the four chief chambers of Georgia’s soon-to be-hlstorlc building at
the Jamestown fair.
And thus we tee once more an Illustration uf the value of s lire and
public spirited newspaper to the city In which It is printed.
Colonel MoKenney and Colonel Tom Simmons have won new laurels
In this admirable feat of public aplrlt, and tbw whole state Is glad to have
Macon Joined to the chief cities of Georgia at the Jamestown fair.
A MESSAGE OF IMFOETANOS.
The large number of people in Atlanta who have been recently In
terested In and profoundly stirred by the disclosures concerning the ap
palling march, of consumption, and the organized movement among our
peep!e.-to moat It, ought not to ,/ail to attend the lecture this (Tuesday)
evening at Carnegie Hall In which Dr. T. W. Seward, of Goshen, -N.
Y., will give an Interesting and Instructive lecture on the iubject of tu

What the age needs to Information, because one only need* Infor
mation along this Une to quicken apprehension and apprehension leads
to action, and unless thla people are aroused from the apathy of Indiffer
ence Into that action which will be both remedial and ‘preventful we are*
going to witness some marvelous and appalling tables of mortality from
thla dread disease In the years that are to com*. Carnegie Hall should be
crowded tonight to hear the lecture of a distinguished expert who comes
to give Information on tble vital theme. •

And now comas Jacob Schurmsn. president of Cornell, with the
statement that he did not make the remark upon which The Georgian
felt Impelled to comment In defense of the "civilisation" of the South.
In * letter to Chancellor Barrow, of tho Ualvontty, President Schur
msn says:
"Csrtalnly tha remarks attributed to ms wars nsvsr mads by
m* nor was anything furthsrlrom my thoughts than erltlclsm
or dlspsrsgtmtnt ot Southern civilisation. American civilisation
■aama to mo protty much tho aanw North and South, and for ont
I should titillate to tay that It la hlghar In on* part of tho coun
try than In anothar. What I did aay waa that I hoptd th* South
ern colleges would rocolvt gon.roue htlp from tho Rockefeller
educational fund*, at t bollovo tho financial nssds of the South
ern collages grsstsr thin thou of tho Northern. And thlo sug-
K ltlon, which I made In tha Interest of tho South, I bollovo tho
uth will -Indoree."
It to * far greater pleasure to accept this itatement from the presi
dent of Cornett university than It was to write the criticism evoked by the
language duly credited to Mr. Schurman In the press dispatches from
New York.
The Georgian was not precipitate In Its comment. It was held In
reserve for two days waiting a possible denial nr disclaimer of the offen
sive terms Imputed to the author. Why this disclaimer was not prompt
ly made we cannot understand.
And why such language should hive been unjustly attributed to the
president of Cornell U a reflection upon the accuracy or couaclence of
the men who eend out the preaa dispatches from New York. This Is a
matter which esn be sod should be corrected—even It It involves the dis
charge of the offending arribe. The habit of misrepresenting nr loosely
stating the language of prominent public men Is almost crimlnsl tn Jour
nalism. and should lie strongly rebuksd.
We have had a recent local Instance of this Journalistic misrepresen
tation in the case of tha Baptist ministers snd John D. Rockefeller's mon
ey. No reporter should commit a public man to any strong slatemeut
unless ba took the language tu sflorthand or haa afterwards submitted It
to the sp««)iar.
The opposite policy entails some grave Injustice to prominent men,
and Jacob Schurman offsrt a case In point
Meanwhile we take pleasure In giving the wldeet possible publicity
to Mr. Schurman’* disclaimer, and assure him that his own language as
quoted In the paragraph above Include* no sentiment or expression which
dots not please the South. We areaorry that be was ■« seriously mis
quoted. and we are glad to understand and applaud hla rial opinions,
which are both broad aad generous.
Meanwhile the comment haa not been In vain It It haa evoked this
generous explanation from tha distinguish*d educator, aad haa directed

ECHOES OF GEORGIAN EDITORIALS
AN INSPIRED EDITORIAL.
Tn Ihe Editor of The Georgian:
Your editorial of laht evening, "A
nnillunt Abomination." was. In my
humble Judgment, Inspired for Hie o.--
aslon and hour end should be resd
snd re-read In every home of our fair
land, and In some, at hvenlng, with ths
Sin lpturo lesson, and made part of that
Ilnur's devotion.
Your "A Brilliant Abomination" was
mo a brilliant exposition and will
Impress Itself on others If care
fully rend. Yours very truly.

NEVER WERE NOBLER WORDS.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Never. In my age, has truer, nobler
or more beautiful sentiment been
couehed In so few. timely and direct
words as that contained In your edi
torial this evening under Ihe caption
'A Hrflllnnt Abomination.”

The editorial tn Ths Georgian last
Haturday on ths opportunity of Dol

striking editorials we have seen In
mnny years. It was so full of good
thought that even the OenrghUI's
neighbors might have copied It tor tho
benefit of their readers.—Winder News
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE PO

To the Kdltor of The Georgian:
1 have Just finished reading your

Abomination," and 1 venture to lake a
little of your very valuable time tn tell

fearless utterance. Tour sermon -if
this evening Is one very much needed
■nd I devoutly thsnk Ood for It. All
of your editorial utterances are Indeed
Inspiring and tnatrurtlve. but thla one
makes an especial appeal to me. May
you long be spared tn preach thus ef-
dec lively in the pen pis of your con
stantly growing rongragstlon.
Cordially snd gratefully yours.

RIGHT ABOUT NEGRO LABOR.
Editor Grave* la right. It Is gen
erally assumed by writer* who ought
lo know better, that negro labor pro
duces the great bulk ot the cotton crop
that Is enriching the Bouth and that
thla labor 1* the corner stone of our
economic fabric, bscause conclusion Is
drawn from (hr army of negroes at
work on the big plantations In the
lowlands. Them ar* conspicuous, and
ths much larger number of white
farmers working their own lands, from
the Potomac to tha Rio Grande, are
overlooked In the presence ot this black
mass centered In a few conspicuous
localities.
Take Mississippi, for Instance. It
has a larger percentage of negro popu
lation than any other state, and yet It
la doubtful If mors then one-half the
cotton raised In this state Is produced
by negro labor, and when one reflects
on the vast number of white farmers
in Georgia. Alabama and Texas.' *n-
gsgsd In tbe actual Work of the Held*.
It may ba Justly concluded that th* Id
per cent, estimate of Mr. Graves Is a
liberal on*.
Nor is this all. The negro contri
bution tn th* agricultural production
I* growing amaller from year to year.
Ha Is becoming more and mor* unre
liable and Inefficient as a farmer, and
Is leaving tbe fields In greater num
bers every day lo find a more leisure-
lv llte In the cities and towns. Ths
Btsr does not Indorse Mr. John Tem-
>le Graves' deportation Idea. But It
.'eels called upon to disabuse the pub
lic mind of tbo vsry tcommon misap
prehension as to tho negro's contribu
tion to the South's agricultural pro
duction.— Meridlaq (Miss.) Star.
