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 If thla service should be withdrawn now In this prosperous age when the government la liberal and geuarous In Its ex penditures, that tha time may come whan these indifferent resident* of rural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.

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.

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.
