I and there should home this appeal. "Honor thy father and thy mother" Is the one commandment with a prom ise In the decalogue that came down to us from Ml. Sinai through the thun der and the clquds. If we have moth ers of our own. for their sakes and for the possible time when they them selves. spent and Infirm, may need the help of human kindness, let us heark en to this appeal.

If we have In us one spark of the filial touch which should make the whole world akin, let the best and highest and no blest that is in Atlanta and In Its peo ple rally to thla tendereat and softest and noblest of all charities, and help these good women of the Gordon Clr cle of the Daughters of the King to provide a home, rest and peace for the aged and passing women whose years are so few, whose necessities are so simple, but who need at least to live and be comfortable and to lie cared for with reverence while they do re main. NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS AND ADVERTISERS. On February 2 Tha Gaorgian pur chased the name, good will, franchisee, advertising contracts and aubacription list of The Atlanta News, and The Newe is new published an a part of The Geor gian. All advertising under contract to npponr in Tho Ntv.s will bn printed In The Georgian and Newe, without Inter ruption, except such as it debarred by The Georgian's established policy to txoludo all objactionabla advertising. The Gentlest of Our Charities. Personally appears before tho pub lic Mrs. Sarah J. Purtell, philanthro pist and promoter of good deeds, who, upon the strength of her long service and her noble character, faithfully de clares that the Old Woman's Home of Atlanta la In vital need of practical and prompt assistance In order to pro long Its usefulness If tint to preserve Its life. There is no other Institution In At lanta which haa been more heroically fought for than this Institution found ed in noble motive and sustained by heroic diligence and philanthropy. The Old Woman's Homo Is located on East Mitchell street, anti its pres ent building Is both Inadequate In scope and unsanitary In condition to be longer Inhabited us a place of ref uge for the aged and needy mothers of this generation. The Old Woman's Home has on hand 15,000 which, through diligent day by day and almost night by night endeavor. In season and out of sea son. on the part of the good women of the Gordon Circle of King’s Daughters, bis been gathered as a nucleus for a permanent home. If the Institution can secure $5,000 more it will have a sufficient sum to make the first and leading installment upon a new and permanent home in which It can be housed for further use fulness snd for durable eare of the •fed and infirm. This money ao much needed ought to be forthcom ing promptly and cheerfully from the pockets of men and women In Atlanta who have enough of this world's goods to contribute some of the surplus for the respectful care and tender consid eration of some other man's mother who has done her part and suffered her sorrows and palna and fought her fight, and now watts with folded hands for tbe summons to another world. There la not one touch of maudlin sentimentality In this appeal. If any class of human beings on thla earth appeal to tbe heart and to the help fulness of those who are still vital fig ures In this world's strenuous strife, it la the woman whose beautiful hands may be neither white nor small, but are worn with ceaseless service for Children, who are perhaps In distant lands or more likely under the sod. which they have served In days gone by. Every man and every woman wbo has a mother or had one before she was translated to her reward, will feel that here Is a charily which touches nearest the whole thing with us—tbe filial reverence for the sainted being who gave us birth and the imper ishable tenderness which through evil •nd good report has lingered with us •o long as it lingers In the world. Other appeals touch us In a general way. This comes home to the hearth, U> tbe memories of childhood, to the recollection of the thousand hours and tbe thousand little griefs and cares and worries which wo carried to this unfailing source of sympathy and healing and regard. Mo need to prolong the explanation, THE FIFTH REGIMENT AND RALPH BINGHAM. The Fifth Regiment of Georgia must surely go to Jamestown. The Fifth Regiment represents the flower snd the chivalry of north Georgia. Including Us wonderful capital city, and at this dress parade in old Virginia of all that Is best and brightest tn the volunteer and regular soldiery of the republic, Georgia muat have 11 crack regiment to represent the spirit and the progress of the state. The Fifth Regiment has come to lie perhaps the best known of all the military organizations of the state. It has borne Itself superbly in most of the great military gatherings of the psst deende, and Its gal lant Colonel Clifford Anderson, with his brilliant staff of officers- and men, has always brought home laurels of high repute for gallant bearing and faithful service on the mlmle field. A part of the Fifth Regiment, too, was the strong force behind the restoration of law and order in Atlanta's recent riot, and has demon strated Ha capacity to do something more llnfi ornamental service to the honor and safety of the state. The Fifth Regiment la host on Thursday at the Grand opera house to an entertainment of the most delightful type. • It has brought here Ralph Bingham to entertain Us friends, and among entertainers u|K>n the platform of today Ralph Bingham la easily the chlefest of them all. No fun so contagious, ao magnetic, so sustained, no program more altogether delightful, Is to bo found upon the entertain ment list of the American lyceum than of this genial and gifted gen tleman whose talents arc placed at the service of tho Fifth Regiment. Atlanta then, In full recognition of the services and of the splendid record of Its own gallant regiment, and In appreciation of the gifts and graces of the incomparable entertainer of the American platform, should pack the Grand opera house on Thursday night with an audience of beauty and of loyalty to match the grace and chivalry upon the stage. Ralph Bingham and the Fifth Regiment should have nothing less than a packed house at this entertainment whose piwved* are set to tho sending of the Fifth Regiment to stand for^ Georgia at the Jamestown Exposition. WE JOIN THE CONSTITUTION FOR CLEAN STREETS. It gives The Georgian unusual pleasure to join with its esteemed con temporary of The Constitution in the demand for clean streets and bet ter sanitation of public and private premises. The Constitution Is entirely right Itt this matter and the heartiness with which we unite with Its demands Is in no wise diminished by the fact that The Constitution started the crusade along this righteous line. We must learn to get over in Atlanta the picayunish habit of eith er opitosing or treating with apathy a thoroughly Just and proper movement because It happened to be Instituted by a competitor either In journalism or In business. The common weal Is the plane iqion which we can unite our various factions and no private jeal ousies should Interfere wllli our public advocacy of matters which re late to the general safety or the general welfare. We sincerely trust tlmt The Constitution's appeals for municipal ac tivity along this wholesome sanitary line will be promptly met and an swered, nnd we commend our contemporary for Its Intelligent concep tion of public Interest. Meanwhile we trust lu confiding reciprocity that our esteemed con- tenqtorary will not withhold Its Influence and its energy from a full co operation with The Georgian In fighting that vast and menacing danger of the Great White Plague which is deep enough and terrible enough In Its present ravuges and tn Ita future threat to demand the co-operation of all forces which look to the safety and welfare of the state. The two crusades are In fact akin. The Constitution's plea for local cleanliness mnkes a wholesome preliminary for our own plea for that larger sanitation In which the Great White Plague must be stayed. LET THE RICH REMEMBER THOSE WHO MADE THEM SO. It Is In no captious but rather in a congratulatory spirit that wo note that our contemporary of Tho Journal has broken Its long silence with a direct appeal to the Georgia Railway and Electric Company to allure Its unparalleled prosperity with the people who have made It. The Journal's appeal Is timely and clear, and Is sound enough really to have appeared In The Georgian. We are glad to have our neighbor's full and valuable co-operation In the endeavor to persuade this great cor poration to a Just and wise consideration of the people from whom Us princely revenues are derived. But the Journal, walking as usuaal velvet-footed on any question which touches the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, fnlls to carry Its com ment to s legitimate conclusion or to point the logical and splendid moral of municipal policy which its statements make plain. The Georgia Railway nnd Electric Company grew out of an original company owned some years ago by Joel Hurt. Mr. Hurt's company was capitalized at about $5,000,000, of which as we romemher, only SO per cent or $400,000 was paid In by 'he original stockholders. Mr. H. M. Atkinson and his colleagues established a rlvtl line which compassed a number of the streets in Atlanta, although not as many ns the original lines owned by Mr Hurt, and a little later on tbe Atkinson lines absorbed by purchase the Hurt lines and consolidated them In the present Georgia Railway and Electric Company. At the time of the consolidation the Atkinson lines and the Hurt lines were promptly capitalized at $6,000,000, although It Is doubtful If $000,000 had been net unity spent by the stockholders In both of tbe companies put together. So that by enlargement of stock this street car system, costing In one case about $400,000 to the stockholders, and In tbe other case a probably smaller amount, leaped at a bound to a capitalization of $6,000,000 and proceeded nt once to cam dividends upon this Immense volume of ''water." And now the same corporation, after a few years of consolidated ef fort, openly announces to tbe public that out of Ita magnificent earnings it is enabled to Increase Its slock by an Issue of two million dollars to Its stockholders and is now capitalized at $8,000,000. This carries with It the turther startling announcement that even with this addition of $8,- 000,000, the Georgia Railway nnd Electric Company Is able to pay the div idend which It has heretofore paid upon the $6,000,000. Wonderful figures these! Marvelous story of prosperity! Thrilling statistics of superb earnings—and nil from the pockets of the iieople! It may be ustunied ns a fact without positive assertion, that never a dollar has beeu paid out of the pockets of the stockholders since the origi nal purchase, and that this property which In so small a number of years, has grown from approximately an $800,000 stockholders' Investment to an $8,000,000 investment, has been paid for entirely by the patronage and support of the people of Atlanta and the casual visitors who come to this town. Surely in til our local history there has been no story of marvelous Increase and majestic receipts to equal this! If It be argued that within this time the company has built other lines and carried other Improvements, It may be assumed that every dol lar of these Improvements has been paid for by the profits derived from the support of the people. Add to this the fact that with its bond Issue of $10.000.00D and ita slock of $8,000,000. making a total valuation of $t8,000.000, this princely corporation by the record of 1804 returns ils properties to the tax receiv er at the meager sum of $3.6C4.0lM a year. Our contemporary of The Journal parades with emphasis the fact that the street railway pays taxes upon Its gross receipts, but The Journal doubtless remembers to forget that the returns of this property to the St.'ti is at about $5,500,000, while lu the lace o( that return It openly and Heaven knows it Is a small enough apiieal (hat our contemporary makes to the Georgia Railway and Electric Company to let the people share a part of the magnificent prosperity which they have made. Yea, verily, the people are entitled to some consideration at' the hands of those whom they have enriched beyond measure aud beyond computation. These patient, tired shop girls, and weary working men who every morning between 6 and 8, and every evening between half past 5 and 7 o’clock swing In and out of the city hanging by straps and jostled in the aisles and trampled by crowding men, In vehicles filled with unsanitary negroes—every one of them, shop girls, clerks, accountants, workers and laborers—have paid every day and twice a day for years the tax which has made these people Immensely rich. Even the faintest touch of human justice should appeal to these na bobs of finance to put back Into the pockets of these patient and long suffering people who have worked for their advancement, something I11 comfort and something in convenience to pay the measureless debt which the corporation owes to the Individual. Surely the cars that carry the people to work to build tho prosperity of the city and to pay the princely dividends of the corporation should afford better facilities for these people to sit and rfst when they have worked all day, and to have clean cars and comfortable seats In order to enable them to continue to work and toll and stand and to pay and to en rich the street car company and to make good the dividend of 5 per cent upon the $8,000,000 which they, the people, have enlarged front the com paratively Insignificant Investment of $800,000! Beyond this it is an appeal to justice, an appeal to equity and an ap peal to the better spirit of the twentieth century that the commodity of light aud of power which this great corporation holds in monopoly, should he made cheaper to the people who have been so loyal In their beneficence to them. Surely a pcpple who have made $8,000,000 grow where only $800,000 were planted, are entitled to share in this prosperity to the extent of getting cheaper lights and cheaper power, and better com forts In their weary hours of travel. We recognize all the good things that the Georgia Railway and Elec tric Company has done. We have been swift to record and applaud them every one. But all the little things that they have done In the past are as fine dust in the balance compared to their obligation to the people who gave them their franchises and gave them the swelling millions In whose possession they rejoice today. If yon are thiuki'ig of saving a part of your income for a “rainy day,” or fyr investment, we would like to call your attention to the features of our Savings Department. Conte aud get acquainted, nnd let us explain the little de tails about the rules, etc., even if you are not ready just yet to open your aecount. We pay 4 per cent interest, compounded semi-annually, on savings accounts. MADDOX-RUCKER BANKING CO. THE REAL LESSON OP THE $2,000,000 INCREASE. No thoughtful man can blame the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany for its wish aiul inclination to make money. There is not one of us who under the same circumstances would 1 not make as much money as the Georgia Railway and Electric Company is making and rejoice in the achievement. The company and its able and accomplished president is simply playing a great business game In a bus iness way for the money that is in it, and is making every dollar that the law and the people behind the law will permit it to make. The point that we make is that the recent magnificent exhibit of the company's prosperity is a direct object lesson to a patient nnd long-suf fering and almost stupidly apathetlcpeople. , If this company upon an actual stockholders’ investment of about $800,000 can, in the course of a very few years, openly announce a pros perity which they capitalize at $8,000,000, and pay 5 per cent dividends upon it, what could tho city do if it owned this magnificent property? What could the city pay if It owned this princely and profitable in vestment? How many thousands and millions of dollars of taxes could be saved to the plain people of Atlanta if they themselves were the owners of this gold mine dug every day under the trolleys of the street railway? A people deserve no more than they have the intelligence and cour age to attain, and if Atlanta is today paying taxes more than it ought to pay, if its people are paying Into the treasury taxes that are unnecessary, If they are paying for the commodities of life in electricity and transpor tation more than they ought to pay, they have nobody to blame for it but themselves. If the people sit still and are apathetic while these magnificent profits are reaped from their franchises, and are Indifferent when the facts are made plain to them, then the peo pie are by nature and by choice the burden bearers ami are only fit to support the rich nnd powerful and to do their will. The people of Atlanta.have already had a magnificent object lesson of the value of their ownership of public utilities in the super!) figures of growth in the water works system that they own, and in the record of the - revenues derived from the water works system which diminishes their taxes, decreases their rates and helps to pay for the support cf other de partments which their taxes would otherwise lie compelled to maintain. Now the people are beginning to sec just what their dullness and blindness in past years have caused them to'lose. If the Georgia Railway and Electric Company were a school master with the bended skies of Atlanta as a blackboard, they could not trace In letters of light a more splendid lesson, a more Inspiring demonstration of the beauty, and the value, the profit, the saving, and the municipal riches of municipal ownership, than in the magnificent announcement of the Croesus wealth which they have amassed’out of the franchises and out of the patronage of the people In this public commodity of transpor tation within these recent years. And so finally, let the people, If they have any pith, if they have any stamina, if they have any intelligence or resolution worthy of the ex- .alted duties of citizenship, study once and for all time the inspiring les son of the water works system, and the many times more inspiring lesson of this six and a half million increase which the Georgia Railway and Electric Company has made in Its stock, and in the spirit of the age, bear ing the shibboleth of the times, let them resolve that this twentieth cen tury city shall move to the twentieth century policy of municipal owner ship of public commodities in the speedy years to come. ONCE MORE ABOUT HELL. To the Editor of The Georgian: In late Issues of your paper I see several communications from different parties giving »helr Ideas in reference to hell. It seems that we have hell stirred up. but ns none of their ideas quite coincide with my own. I beg for short space to give my view of the subject. Many of the ancients’ Idea of hell was evidently the grave, but the word, since it found Its way Into the orthodox creeds of n later day, seems to convey a very different meaning. Most of the Greek and Trojan war riors slain In battle are represented b> Homer as going to hell or the grave. To illustrate: ••Full twenty In a moment fell. Sent by great Ajax to the shades of hell.*’ John Milton’s idea was a personal devil and a burning hell—a horrible dungeon on all sides round, into which the arch fiend and Ills rebellious hosts were cast after disastrous warfare on the plains of heaven, and as he strikes this burning caldron there comes from him something like these words: •Farewell, happy fields, where joy forever dwells; hail horrors, hall In fernal world and then profoundest hell receive thy new possessor." Seems to have been a right gritty old fellow. Pity It was he made his escape and discovered our little world to tempt Mother Eve. through the serpent! But, alas! she plucked. "She ate: earth felt the wound and n;ture sighing at her seat through all her works gave signs of woe that all was lost." Now. If this Is all literally true, won der If he is still wandering through infinite space, wrecking worlds as he did ours. John Milton’s hell of ' re ami brimstone is true only in a figurative sense, and the old ancient idea of eter nal burnings has about gone out In the light of our twentieth century civitizn- I tion. Vet, while holding to this Idea.! alt through his work. "Paiadlsp Lost." j H. was tin? of the first pilots he strike' 1 a key-to the I »glc of the * Bmnswic k bar after the war. situation when he jays: "Me mL-rra- and seven children survive. hie, whither shall I fiy, which way I fly, Ih hell; myself am hell." It Is true today and has been In a!’ ages ajul will he true until the end of time, tlmt hell comes to the human heart and conscience only as a natural con sequence of violation of law. The materinl universe Is governed and controlled down to the smallest atom hy the operation of wise and In finite laws, and any violation produces discord, nnd to some extent puts us out of harmony with nature and her laws. The same is true of divine law Let no tnan think he <nn violate and escape a just penalty, for the day of retribution surely cometh. and all the happiness or misery that vomes each individual life nnd character is in exact proportion to obedience or \ iatlon of natural or divine law. takes hut a glance over the pages of anc.ient history to convince the ra tional man of today that the world Is growing better; that mankind has evolved from the Ignorance, supersti tion and fanaticism of past ages to a higher plain of moral, physical and pirltual life, and today Is just at the dawn of a civilization that Is to be without a parallel In all history. This Is In keeping with Goii’s plan and pur pose. ns He gradually unfolds Himself to the world through the highway of the human soul, giving mankind a clearer conception of natural ami di vine law, and bringing him back in harmonv with His own law In recon ciling the world unto Himself. A proper understanding and obedience to law would drive hell (If not out of the universe) out of the hearts, minds and consciences of mankind. A. 8. J. Winston. Ga. Aged Pilot it Dead. Mpeeial to The Georgian. Brunswick. Ga.. March 27.—Captain J. \V. Tabbott died yesterday morning $tt his residence, on Cnlon street, after »» long*illness. He was 75 >ear* of ago a id had **i»ent 42 years In Brunswick A wife DEATH OR ETERNAL TORTURE? To the Editor of The Georgian: While we can but admire the zeal, earnestness and honesty of purpose of all of the Lord’s dear people in their efforts to lift up and elevate the fallen human race to a higher plane of being, yet we deplore the fact that many are trying to accomplish this great end by teaching doctrines that are altogether foreign to the teaching of Scripture, doctrines that originated in the "dark ages’’ and have been handed down to us as a legacy. We should be sure of nur position before we attempt to teach others the way of life, and we can only know that our position is tenable hy following the teaching of the Scrip tures. It is not enough that we are honest and conscientious in what we believe and teach, for conscience is not an infallible guide unless it is In har mony with the teaching of God’s word. One of the many false, upscrlptura! doctrines that Is being taught by the (’hrlstlan world is the doctrine of Mis eternal torture of the wicked some where in a place called hell. Some go so far as to say that Christ came to save people from eternal torment, and while a person may honestly believe so, yet there is no warrant of BcrJptur? whatever for such a belief, and I must say with all candor and with all due respect for the opinion of those who thus believe, that such a statement Is as false as the devil himself. Jesus Christ never has nor ever will save any one from eternal torment, because n one 1ms ever been condemned to such a punishment, not even the devil him self (for he is to be destroyed - Hen. 2:14), and It would he Impossible to save one from that to which he had never been condemned. The Scripture record ns to the punishment Imposed on Adam is very plain nnd unmistakable, nnd there is no renson why anyone should try to place a false construction on it. When Gbd created Adam nnd placed him in the Garden of Eden He placed him under a law, the law of obedlcnc v, He said to Adam, now, Adam, obey Me nnd you shall live—that is, he would continue to exist, but dijobey M and you shall die; you shall cease to live, "for in the day thou eatest of the forbidden fruit thou shalt surely die." Now. can any sane person deny that death, the extinction of being, was to be the punishment for A.lam’s sin of disobedience? Surely not; yet, ac cording to the teaching of present day theology, God deceived Adam, bm eter nal life in a hell of torment was In store for him and his race, instead of death. God is unchanging and un- changable, and when H$ told Adam he would die, eease to he. He m*ant Just \ybat He said. He didn’t Intimate to Adam any other punishment would be Imposed on him or his race. Now. then, will some of our wise theologians tell us when, where and by whom has the sentence been c hanged from cleatii to eternal life in a place of eternal tor ture called hell? The doctrine of eternal tor.ure in volves the doctrine of human Immor tality. which is Just as urscrlptural as the doctrine of eternal torture*. God told Adam he would die if he ate the forbidden fruit. Satan came along and accosted Eve about the mutter and said to her. "Hath God suld you may eat of the fruit of all the trees of the gar den?” "Yes.” she says, "we may eat of all the trees except one, but o? that we must nnt eat nor even touch it. lest we die." "(Veil." says Satan, "you shut! not die, for God doth know that In the day thou eatest thereof your eyes will be opened and you shall become n» God. knowing good nnd evil." So he deceived Eve with this old lie; she ale of the forbidden 'fruit, and gave to her husband also, and he did eut and brought ruin and death, not eternal torture, upon themselves and all their posterity. Now, my Christian friends, which are you believing—God or the devil? God said you shall die; Satan said you shall not die. It Is n most la mentable fact that a vast majority . f professing Christians arc believing and teaching that old Satanic He, "thon shall not die, 1 - virtually making God out a liar, because the advocates of ths eternal torment theory say that man Is Immortal and cun not die, notwlth- standing the plain teaching of the Scriptures to the contrary. Again, the advocates of a hell of tor ture ought to be able to give some ac count of the creation of such a place, either In sacred or profane history. In the first chapter of Genesis. Moses gives os a general history of the crea tion. He tells us what was created on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth davs. but don't say a word about the creation of a hell of torment or anything at all akin to It. And If such a place has been created, God created it, and surely If God had created siJJPh a place Moses would not have Ignored the fact entirely, hut would have given It a verv prominent place in Ills history.; Hut .Moses clinches the whole matter by saving In the Inst verse, "and God saw everything that He had made, and behold! It was very good." good In deed and in truth. No the advocates of the eternal tor ment theory should either show up . r shut up and quit misrepresenting the Divine I'haincter, ami quit blasphem ing His holy name, for "God is love." J. C. C.

To the Editor of The Georgian: You are publishing a courageous and clean paper, and I encourage and con gratulate you. I have noticed recently some articles In your paper regarding hell. The anti- hell pieces I pay no attention to, for there Is r ithing In them. But, on the other hand, the recent grandly ortho dox pieces from Rev. W. O. Butler and Mr. C. P. Cousins I most heartily in dorse. Hell! Hell! And Is there an eternal hell? some one asks. I reply: Of course, there is an eternal hell! The Bible plainly states that there is a hell of punishment, and that this hell of punishment Is eternal. And no wise man disbelieves Bible statements! I believe "my mother's Bible,” and mine. Yes, sir. every word In my Bible I steadfastly believe! And I know that there Is a hell of eternal punishment, as truly as I know that there Is a heaven of eternal Joy, or that Christ is God. Why do I know these facts? Be cause Jesus, In His Bible, says so; and that's enough for me. What Jesus of Nazareth says Is absolute and final truth. And, oh, what a shame and sin for any one to doubt Him, who is the Truth! It pains my heart, unspeakably, to see the wicked and daring drift of things today. For Instance, how some Georgia ministers will betray the blessed Jesus. These same unorthodox preachers of “higher criticism” claim to be called of Christ to preach His "whole counsel” to dying sinners. And then they get up tn their pulpits and not only betray their Lord, but destroy their listeners by never mentioning hell. 1 wonder If such preachers are not afraid they will hear In the awful fina* judgment from the Christ they betray ed: "I never knew you," etc.?
