Evangelist Martin’s Word. Evangelist Martin has had hla lengthy say In our columna and he Is welcome to It. Wc trust he feels bet ter. We decline to discuss this matter further with Evangelist Martin, to long as he la conducting a revival in Atlanta. When hla mission of love aud salvation In at an end, we are willing to resume the discussion where It can do no harm to anybody. Meanwhllf The Georgian has In ad vance disclaimed all sympathy with or responsibility for the expressions of Dr. Ellenwood, the doctor himself has expressed his manly regrets for a has tily considered utterance, and If Evan gelist Martin wishes to "controvert" aay more be will have to controvert all by himself—until after hla revival Is over. Tho Literature of Living. The Hat of Georgia authors la always growing, and It la a matter of con gratulation that the merit of their work la equally aa progressive as the increase In their numbers. On yesterday we published a state ment of the success of Mrs. Avary't flna book. Today our attention la called to n Am and brilliant volume by the Rev. Caleb A. Illdley. now located at I-akc City, Fla., but born and reared In In Georgia, and holding himself always a citlien of thla slate. , .'If. Ridley's book Is milled "The Lit- orature of Living." and conalata of alx chapters, each of which contain the most brilllsnt passages from bis se ries of admirable and eloquent lec tures on the American platform. A few mootha ago one of these chapters was published lu an edition of Will Upshaw's Golden Age and made such an Impression upon the stockholders of that pniier that the author was vol untarily voted a check for $100. It Is a dean, wholesome, notable book, full of high and uplifting Ideals nobly and eloquently expressed and pulsing with tho life and blood and earnestneaa of a breve, bright and sunshiny nature. Mr. Ridley Is one of the strongest of the young ministers of his great Baptist church In the South and la growing every day. His recent service held lu thla city for Dr. Ilroughton at the Tabernacle stumpisl hint as a man of unusual |>ower and promise aa a preacher, an orator and a philosopher. "The literature of Living" la a book to be I of because It Is a book certain to do good, aure to uplift and Inevitably bound to plesse. The world Is better for such books, and no out who knows blm will fall to reaiiie promptly that the world le better and brighter for men ol the type of Caleb Ridley. Suits Against Town Argued. Special to The Ueorglsn. Athens, Oa., May X.—Teeterday morning Judge Brand heard argument on n demurrer In the case of the Ether- ton Grocer? Company against the town of Rnyston, and also In the rn«e of I. E. Rond, against the town of Rnyston. Thebe coses arose nut of the passage of an ordinance by the town of Roystnn. levying a license on alt dealers In fer- MA fOR PUNCHES NEGRO WHO ASSAULTS GIRL. Philadelphia, Pa., May 2.—Dorothy Fprie, aged 1*. a pretty student at the Friends school la this city, waa a- suited by a negro. George Gibb, at XYenenah, K. t . last night. Roys res cued the girl and caught the negro, besting him badly. Mayor Lawrence also punched him In the fare. He was arraigned at Woodbury this morning. THE BEST WAY FOR THE NORTH TO SAVE THE NEORO. There are few editorial pages in the 8outh that are sounder and stronger than that of The Charleston News and Courier. Thla old newspaper, like old wlno. grows better and richer with Its advancing yearn, and Its sincerity, loyalty and clearness make Its editorial page both a pleasure and a profit to the general reading public. A recent copy of The News and Courier voices the propoeltlon that there are many things which the South could and should teach to the people of the North. Our Charleston contemporary resents the sugges tion of Northern philanthropists that the South Is a missionary ground for education In morala and In manners, and retorts with aptness and vigor that the North especially needs the Americans of the South to teach it Amarlctnlam. The South Carolina journal declares that the North Is suffering for want of luatructora In the art of assimilating Its heteroge neous and discordant population. It Is universally admitted that the American negroas owe whatever civilisation they have to contact with the Southern whites, their former owners, but their great numbers and the separation forced by thfe abolition of slavery have stopped their progress In at least so far as It was accelerated by this means. And here Tlie News and Courier pointedly suggests that as the prob lem before those philanthropists so sincerely concerned In the negro's uplifting Is to bring them within the sphere of the white man's Influence, that tha best plan by which to do this Is to mass them In the Northern states where the leaders of thought speaking through the press and from tha pulpit are comparatively free from race prejudice. A condition precedent to the distribution of some millions of negroes In tho North Is the breaking down of barriers raised-by the prejudice of Northern white working men. In other words, tha Northern state* must be opened to negro Immigration from the South. "Let sis Imagine, for example," says The New* and Courier, "that all the people of Rochester, N. Y., be educated to the point that they will welcome the negro artisans as cirttons, pay them wages equal to the wages paid white men, provide them with homes on easy terms and allow them to work In the Rochester mills*side by side with white operatives. When tho negroes of the South ire ouco convinced that they may go to Rochester and enjoy life under sach conditions, will they not go In flocks? Let us then suppose that scores of oilier Northern cities follow Rochester's enlightened example, will they not also fill up with negro emigrants?” Continuing along this line of delicate satire, The News and Courier says; In Illinois and Indiana a "hired man" on a farm receives a wage of at least $30 a month, lodging and hoard. The negro hired man In the South must be content with about $10 a month and with food and lodging not exactly sumptuous. Surely If the Illi nois and Indiana farmer* knew that It was their duty not to dis criminate against these poor blacks many of the Utter would go to thoae states. It seems to us thst the South cannot avoid tho duty of teach ing the North that Its Industrial boycott of the Soutbera negro Is cruel almost to the point of barbarity. If the North would but re lax Its stern attitude toward the poor negroes, some hundreds of them could be uplifted far more rapidly In every Northern town ship than they ever can be In the South. If five hundred Southern educators and philanthropists would meet every year In a Northern city and point out to the Northern |M*ople the weak apots in their civilisation. Impress upon them their bounden obligation to establish negro Industrial schools In the North and then employ the willing and Industrious negroes In their workshops, stores, hanks and on their farms, the North might awaken to the heartlessneas of Its treatment of the black*. and extend to them the right hand of comradeship In all lilies of labor. At present the greatest handlotp under which the negroes toll ls that th ■ rich North, with Its learning, with 1U ennobling moral at mosphere, Ita elevating social environment and Its exalted ethical standards, la foiever In an Iron monotone crying, “Back to > tho South! Rack to the cotton patch, Cully, back to the cotton patch for yon!” There ought to be room fur at least 1,000 negro saleswomen in Jqhn Winemaker's stores alone. THE CITY BEAUTIFUL IN WHICH WE LIVE. The Atlanta of 1007 Is a much more desirable place to live In than the Atlanta of 1900. And by all tbe commercial portents and by all the aesthet ic preflgurations, tho Atlanta of 1910 will bo an Infinitely lovelier and more charming city to live In than the Atlanta of today. The architectural, aesthetic nnd physical development of thla city wlthln these live years has been simply marvelous. Tho grand preeminence of our splendid office buildings makes a sky lino unparalleled among Southern cities. The stately sweep of our magnificent viaducts spanning the streets once traversed by the dust and mud of the railways, and linking togeth er section* of the city that were once hundreds of yards apart, have en larged and beautified the whole central section of Atlanta. nut It Is at last In the multiplication of Its residences. In tbe develop ment of Its suburbs and In the beauty of Its parks that the Atlanta of a near tomorrow Is to bo beautiful and pre-emlneot among all Southern cities. That long splendid line of the South's princely avenue stretching from the Aragon hotel to Buckliead and known aa Peachtree street has received within these five years touches of home adornment and additions of sjVn- did mansions and etately lawns and terraces that leave It raoro and more unrivaled among the residence thoroughfares of the South. The development of College Park and of Decatur haa followed line* so aesthetic in beauty that they flank the city with environments or grace and ehnrm. The East l-ake addition to the Atlanta Athletic Club haa made one of th* finest country club* and play ground* In the republic, and from Ita tennis courts through Ita boat houses and Its sylvan lake straight out to Its wonderful golf links the East Lake country club adds mightily to At lanta's cosmopolitan claim of pre-eminence. But perhaps no single develop ment of these last five year* ha* been so notabls and so noble as the every day addition of adornment end aesthetic glory which Is coming to the union of Piedmont Park with Ansley Park. These two twin ornaments of Atlanta fit Into each other In the moat beautiful and alluring way. The genius and Indefatigable energy 1 of Edwin P. Ansley haa transformed a barren lot of ragged aud frowning hill* Into a sories of stately terraces, sweeping circles ami bill crested mansions, with six mile* of winding car rlage way that are likely to make It equal to any residence portion of any city of the republic. For neither North nor South twill there be found any dotnealTc section of a city more picturesque and beautiful than the Improvements that have been planned and are now progressing at Ansley Park. And even beyond the glory of Analey Park rise* the greater glory of Ptedmout Park which tielongs to the city Itself and which under tbe city's appropriation I* now growing nnd will continue to grow Into greater charm and beauty under the skill and taate of Engineer L Z. Ruff. It I* safe to say that If the city rise* In other yeara to the Initial lib erality whlch lt has shown In this first appropriation, then the next three years will make of Piedmont Park a public breathing place not surpassed by any In Pittsburg, Chicago. Cleveland or New York. Those old acres first redeemed from seamed and rugged hills by the genius of the Atlanta Cotton nnd International Exposition, are now being recousecrated to the health, recreation and pleasure of tbe people. And It Is simply marvelous to note what has already been done to make this one ol the finest play ground* In America. The old speedway of the geat exposition and of subsequent fairs will be retained and beautified, and within Ita central and surrounding space there will be built a half doxen baseball grounds and a score of tennis courts. Sunken gardens will replace the territory once occupied by Clara Mere and the sheen of the grass and the bright color* of tbe flower* will make It n dream of beauty for the future. Most of the old building* will be torn away, but the government building will remain as the finest indoor gymnasium and play ground in the whole 8outh. The county club aa usual will crown the western summit snd over look the entire park. Rut It will be a new county club beautified and en larged under the aesthetic graces of maturer yeara. Tho present baseball ground will be enlarged and amplified to greater proportions and beautiful surroundings, and beyond It over on the crest of tbe southernmost bill will be erected the finest military parade ground in all tbe South, where a regiment or two regiments may execute their ma neuvers with ample space and with magnificent prominence. While on the northern stretch where the forests and the trees drop Into a glade tbe deft hand of the landscape artist Is designing and fash ioning walks and drives and shady nooks and moisy della that will fur nish rest and recreation and the Inducement to the softer themes of gent.'- mem. With Piedmont Park joining 1U maturer glory to the ample beauty of Grant Park tho two ends of tho city will have no reason to complain of the municipal liberality and beneficence which provide* health and fresh air and recreation and choice surroundings for the people of Atlanta. Five ytars ago the editor of Tbe Georgian approached one of the new made capitalists of Atlanta to subscribe for stock in The Atlanta News. The capitalist expressed his willingness to do so but for the fact that be did not know whether be would continue to live in Atlanta. “I have made my money through bard work and patient methods," said he, “but now that I have won leisure and opportunity for pleasure, I find that I have nowhere to go or to enjoy myself In Atlanta." Whether that speech was an Inspiration or a prophecy we do not know. But we do know that If that man today with his wealth, his horses and his wheels, cannot find In the magnificent parks, play grounds, suburbs, speedways and boulevards of Atlanta an opportunity to enjoy himself royally and permanently, be must Indeed be blase In tbe capacity for pleasure and hard to please under any environment of life. The Atlanta of 1910 will be more and more a glory to Its citlxens and the most eligible place of residence In all the sunny South. COMMISSIONER MITCHELL AND GEORGIA DAY. We sincerely trust that later Information may modify or explain, the unpleasant rumor that Georgia's commissioner, Mr. W. N. Mitchell, was tested with discourtesy on the opeping day of the Jamestown exposi tion. * To be robbed by pickpocket* on the day before the opening was bad enough, but to be Ignored and snubbed by the officials on the real day was an Indignity of which Georgia cannot fail to take notice- We are convinced from our personal knowledge of'the exposition of ficials that ft must have been a ease of mistaken Identity. No gentleman to unmistakable, nnd np public servant ao useful as Mr. Mitchell could hare been willingly or Intentionally slighted In the commonwealth of cour tesy which we call Virginia. We are confidently expecting a full and satisfactory explanation of tbe Incident It may be said without envious comparison that Jamestown Is more Indebted to M. Mitchell than to any other man lor the fact that Georgia has an exhibit at her great Tercentennial. He worked with the legislature diligently, arduously and successfully. It Is doubtful If, without his tireless work, tbe state would have made an appropriation. It la certain that with the appropriation made, the ex hibit Is his debtor for tbe feature that will make it memorable. Mr. Mitchell's work has been so vital, so tactful and so tireless* that he has actually plucked from the hundred days of the exposition, the second greatest day for the commonwealth he serves. It Is nothing less than tbe fact to aay that the conception of making the Georgia building represent the home of the president's mother and the persistent tact with which the president was persuaded to be present and to speak at its dedication, coming back to James town on a second visit for that express purpose—was a masterly expression of tact and talent. Georgia day Is already written as the second greatest day of the ex position. It will be grandly celebrated by presidents, governors, soldiers and civilians and dlgqttarics, and It Is only just that the architect of Geor gia day should not be forgotten In the pleasures and gratulatlons of that happy occasion.

This freedom or peraoasl liberty Is a strange Thoenlx. and only the great Ameri can people ever pretended to solve the rid dle of It. As they hove solved It In the past so they will continue to do so, and the pres- ent stage .is that freedom of the linllvldual Is effect of the unwritten customs of a free peaple allowed under the coast itut Ion, aud that also pnldlc opinion alone can change any part of their code, hut when the con | seiiNtis of opinion leglstaiea for the com monwealth ami the national welfare those who Imagine they are *he people must either migrate to other lands or realltel they are A merlon u dttxens, each one a king or qneen^vh^IMj^oya^ouncl^^nlt*^ Hecond.

JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO. To the Editor of The Georgian: At the recent term of superior court held In Hancock county, there wan nn Instance given of the fairness of the white people toward the negro which I think deserves to have the attention of the world directed to; and I know of no better medium through which this can be done than the splendid Georgian. Last year the newe reached us at Sparta that one of our white cltisene. Mr. B.. had been killed by a notorious and worthless negro named Jeff Lundy. At once searching parties were organ ised to go after the negro, but he es caped. A reward was offered for him and finally two deputies from the ad joining county of Putnam located the negro In a North Georgia county. When they went to arrest him the negro fired upon them; they returned the fire and he was ddngerously wounded. On their return to Sparta with the prisoner they found him to oe In such bad condi tion that he was taken to the Lamar hospital In Augusta for treatment. Not many days after his arrival In Au gusta he escaped again, but was again arrested and finally brought to Han cock, where he was tried on the chargo of murder. Everyone knew that the negro was a bad character, and no one would have regretted his being hanged or rent up for life. If this could have been done legally and according to law; but notwithstanding the low esteem In which the negro was held, he was given counsel to represent him by his honor, Judge Holden. The only evidence be fore the court was the negro’s state ment that he did not shoot the white man until He had been shot at with n pistol six times and badly wounded, and the testimony of a white farmer that he had heard six pistol shots before he heard it gun shot, though there were other farmers who stated that they hud heard the shota but cuuld not distinguish a pistol from a gun shot. (The negro used a gun In doing the shooting.) The case for the state was ably handled by Solicitor General David W. Meadows and Hon. T. L. Reese, and the defense of the negro was In the hands of Colonel Thomas M. Hunt and Colonel R. H. Lewis. The Jury was an ordinary Jury of good citizens, such as try every case In Hancock county, and after deliberating a few hours they returned the verdict of acquittal of the charge of murder, and the negro was set free. It seems to me that this Instance Is one of the best on record showing be yond the shadow of a doubt that the negro does get Justice at the hands of the law in the South, nnd the facts in thla case are no eloquent that I have decided to give them to you In order that you may uae them aa an anawer In part to the stander of the South by certnln lll-dlaposed and prejudiced writers who make the charge that a negro gets only Injustice at our hands. Yours very truly, JOHN D. WALKER. Sparta, Ga., April 32. GEORGIAN AGAINST THE FIELD, To the Editor of The Georgian: May 1 send these few tinea com mending the publisher’s defense of hla property (the only clean and decent family newspaper In Atlanta), against the unholy combination of Gray & Company? These worthies dug a hole for Mr. Seely to walk Intq nnd then fell Into their own pit. Many of my business friends praise The Georgian's attitude In the mutter, and agree with me that thla agitation was doubtless Inspired and precipitated by the editor of a cer tain local paper because Mr. Seely de clined to buy the "gold brick" and 'white elephant" (newspaper plant) of fered him not ao long ago. The fine Italian hand of the West Alabama street "Ransy Sniffles" Is easily discovered, and his smug con ceit Is derided by all decent people. I hope that Tile Georgian readers, and all who favor barring from a fnm. Ily newspaper's columns objectionable advertisement of patent medicines, whisky, private diseases, panderers, procurers, etc., etc., will write letters to The Georgian upon the subject, and I trust that you will print alt such letters ns contain honest expressions. All fair mlndede people In Georgia and elsewhere realise that It Is The Georgian publisher and editor against the field. Respectfully J. W. MCINTYRE. Atlanta, Ga. British King in Paris.
