Still Atlanta Persons leaving the city can have The Georgian and News mailed to them regularly by send ing their order to The Georgian office. Changes of address will be made as often as desired. The Great Music Festival. Dr. J. Lewis Browne, Atlanta's now famous musical director, deserves, and will receive, the gratitude of tho music-loving public for the great May- June Music Festival whole plan and program have about been perfected. A number of tho greatest artists In the country have been secured, and these, with tho local talent, will ren der a number of programs that would do credit to any city In the country, In addition'.to tho celebrated vocal artlata engaged by Dr. Browne, whose talents are known and appreciated by all who aro conversant with mualc, a Lira.- number of instrumental celebri ties have been booked who will prove a pleasant surprise to those who aro so fortunate as to hear them. As violinists, Dr. Browne has secur ed W. W. Ilubner, Jr., of Plttiburg, Pa., formerly of Atlanta. Mr. Ilubner la the son of Charles W. Hubner, the poet, of Atlanta, and his success hys been rapid and great. Ho loft Atlanta aboijt alx years ago for Philadelphia, where he soon made a reputation that reflected credit on the city of hla birth. Oboe players from Cincinnati, basaon artists from Chicago, flute, clarinet, harp, violin, cello, viola and bass play ers from all sections of the country have been secured. These, with' the local talent and the Teally great chorus, will give to Atlanta the great eat mualc festival In her history. ■* With the comparison with this Hat of foreign talent, those of Atlanta's own artists who will take part will prove aa great lights and will tte a revelation to those who have not beard them In concert and symphpny orchestral work. The expenses of the May-Juiie Festi val will be more than $10,000, and. be It said to the credit of Atlanta's mu alc ToVera, tho advance sale of tickets baa been so great that no apprehen sion ~U felt by the promoters of the finanlcal success of .the enterprise. Great It musical Atlanta and I .owl* Browne la Its prophet and Interpreter. Another divorce suit In the ultra- faahlonable-rlch life of .New York will now drag Its nauseous course through the courts. 1 The pronunciation of paragrupber aa given by some of the victims of that clan would hardly be admitted to the columns o( to conscientious a newspa per aa The Atlanta Georgian. General Kuroki disposes of the Jap anese school embrogllo In San Fran cisco in an admirable paragraph which makea Americana feel small for having magnified It. Says the great Jap: "To tell you the truth, I have no Interest In that matter. It Is too small to Interest the Japanese. I wss asked about It In Seattle as If It were a matter of Importance, and here you aak again In the nation's capital. I am surprised. Why should a small, entirely local affair like that be deem ed of any Importance whatever, espe cially aa being an element of the least weight In the relations of two great and wholly friendly nations? I say to you simply that la Japan we have paid no attention to It. It Is altogeth er too trivial. It counts for nothing. It Is GAINESVILLE’S COMING CHAUTAUQUA. With Its usual sleepless progresslveness, the Gainesville Brenau (and there are three of them under the same management), is preparing to in struct and divert the people of Hall county and North Georgia during the last two weeks of July with a chautauqua planted on the shores of a beautiful lake In the environs of the town. Brenau rarely goes at things-In a slip-shod or penurious way, and the first Brenau Chautauqua manned by the faculty of Brenau and the clti- sent of Gainesville will be conducted on high lines of merit and attraction. The program will bo made up of prominent and attractive figures whoso names will draw from every section of tho state. The equipment for comfort and pleasure will be thoughtfully ample, and of course the climate and water or tho Gainesville region Is famed throughout the country. Few people realize the educative value of a successful and high class chautauqua. Albany, In Georgia, Is perhaps 'the first and highest expres sion of this successful Men, and tho Albany chautauqua has como to be ao Institution as established and Indispensable as Its county court houso or Its public schools. Barnesville, and Hawklnsvllle and Tennllle In Georgia have kept up for years successful and popular, chautauquas, and Gainesville now enters the list with perhaps as many things to attract and as wonderful things to commend as any chautauqua established In the South. * With this attraction added to the superb quality of Its water, climate and citizenship, the little metropolis of Hall county should be the mecca of a multitude of travelers during the summer. Messrs. Pearce and VanHooso are citizens of exceptional value to any city or community In which they live. MILLED SEVILLE ’8 BRILLIANT CENTENNIAL. Perhaps no Georgia commencement of the present year will bo so for tunate In a central Incident as that of the Georgia Military College at Mllledgevllle. On May 29tti the college and the people there are preparing to cele brate the onO-hundredth anniversary of the first meeting of the General Assembly of Georgia. . . . The celebration rill .be held In tho college hall of the .Georgia Mili tary college, which Is located In the historic old capitol building of tho state. Fortunate Indeed Is the Mllledgevllle school and the Mllledgevllle peo ple In this happy occasion so rich in historic reminiscences and so ample In Inspiration for a revival of patriotic sentiment among our people. The whole history of Georgia In lii tranquil and in Its stormy days will pass In review before tbe suggestions of the orators upon that happy occasion. The thunders that came from Herschel Johnson's great speech against secession will be met and answered In eloquent memories by the wonder ful speeches of Toombs In advocacy. The earlier and simpler days of Georgia will stand out In reminiscence In a hall where the ordinance of secession was drawn and where, subse quently, was held tho first convention that reunited the state to the Federal Union. The administrations of Joioph E. Brown, Charles J. Jenkins and the slmplo life of the governors of those early times will be set In con trast with the conditions and manners of today. Tho orators at Mllledgevllle will not have to rack their brains for things to say, but their chief difficulty will lie In their capacity to discrim inate among the multitude of crowding memories and patriotic sugges- tlans which fill their minds and hearts In this historic city of Georgia. The Georgia Military college and the Girls' Normal and Industrial col- lego are two of the famous Institutions of the South. Their commence ment occasions are always objects of Interest to tjie people of Middle Georgia, but upon this occasion the conditions surrounding tbe com mencement of the Georgia Military college and the admirable list of speak ers which It has gathered, will probably Insure a state-wide attendance of the public men of yesterday and of today who will bo glad to revive their memories ahd to quicken their patriotism by this fervid day at Mll ledgevllle. SHALL WE HOLD OUR OWN IN EDUCATION? To be forewarned la to be forearmed, and to know what its commer cial rlvalp bavo In view ought to be. the only Inspiration needed by tho South to the wlso and prudent policies of Industry and education. In an addrcia delivered before the Georgia branch of the South ern Collego Womon'a Association Monday afternoon. President K. G. Matheson, of the Goorgla Tech, fjavo a startling Illustration'of the apa thetic attltudo occupied by the South In rcgnrd to educational and Indus trial development, as compared with other states In tho Union. President Matheson said: “Quite recently f was visited by Professor Morse, of Boston, who Is a member of a commission of threo appointed by the leg islature of Massachusetts to Investigate the resources and Indus trial condition! of the South, and see what steps the people here are taking to develop them. "Professor Morse told mo frankly that Massachusetts Intends to teach her children how to convert the raw material of this sec tion Into the finished product and then return It to us .for Bale. ,. ‘‘They Intend to beat ua at our own game,” declared ProfOB- aor Malheaon, "and they will succeed If wo remain Inactlvo ami do not train our children along the same llnes-on which Massa-' chusetta and other atates are training theirs." We decline to be drawn Into a dis cussion with The Houston Post as to the scantiness of the wearing apparel of Mrs. Corey, nee Gilman, as evidenc ed by newspaper cuts. If The Post had not already admitted total depravity with most reprehensible blltbeness, we should be Inexpressibly shocked. Now, however, that Journal by Its abandon only fills us with pity. To the paragraphic encyclopedia of The Washington Herald: Having de termined the plural of grape fruit, set tled tho question of the birth place of Andrew Jackson and decided off the reel other grave problems, kindly pass us the answer to this one: A wagers B that Washington will make twice many runs as Chicago (a purely suppo sititious proposition). Washington scores one run, Chicago none. Who wins tho bet? Is one run twice as many as no runs? If It Bhould prove too mt^ch for you, pass It on to tbe foun tains of knowledge and wisdom on Tho Houston Post and Tho Charleston News and Courier. 1 — Army-Navy Orders MOVEMENT OF VESSELS. FARMERS AND HOKt SMITH. To the Editor of The Georgian: I desire through your paper to ex. press my opinion on the. question Immigration. It Is a well known fact that the farm era of our state were almost solidly for Hon. Hoke Smith for governor, and they predicted that every act of his, both official and otherwise, would be for the! best Interest of the people the state. Now, the Hon. Hoke Smith has gone abroad In the Interest of Immigration for our state, In which we have plenty of room and opportunities for severs! times more' people than we have, and, while some will raise cotton, some will raise cbm. some will grind at tho mill and others will spin nncl weave. We would get ten consumers to one pro ducer and just think who are we. Ask youself the question. Are we not the sons and daughters of the first Iminl-rants who peopled and clvlllztd and developed this country, or are we better than that? Are we come down from the heavens above with a selfish, Instead of a charitable disposition? The modern farmer of today, If he could meet his great great-grand parents of the early days pf our coun try, would say depart-from me, know you not. If we would do well, help others to do well. If we want a .blessing, help others to share our good, grand and noble country. This Is what the farmers said: "Hoke will do everything right,” and now his very firs: - Important move after the election before he even takes the oath of office, right back on him they go, and organize to fight hit first efforts. I say. farmers, get right and shout hurrah for Immigration. I voted for Howell In the primary, but I say hurrah for'Hoke Smith and Immigration. C. B. BROGDON. 212 Marietta street THE CALL OF YOUTH. PIEDMONT FOR PLEASURE ALONE. The Georgian Is In full sympathy with the meeting of citizens held In the Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday afternoon to advocate the conver sion of Piedmont Park Into a permanent pleasure ground after next year'a fair has been held. We had been under the Impression that this question was already settled, and would not require further discussion. When the question of holding the approaching atato fair In Piedmont Park was broached. The Georgian with other public voices was approached merely for the purposo of securing a postponement of tearing down tbe old buildings until after the conclusion of tbe coming state fair. The Idea waa that no place could be provided upon so short a time for tbe state fair and that these buildings now In a condition of depay might be held In reserve for this single year's exposition If It was the general undemanding that they ahould be torn down and that this-mag nificent space should be given up to the health and the pleasure or the people of Atlanta. We sincerely.treat that nothing will be allowed to Interfere with this general propoaltlon. People of tbe north side need a park and pleasure ground to balance the superb advantages enjoyed by the people of the south side In-Grant Park. - - And certainly no more beautiful and wholesome spot could be found for a public pleasure ground than the rolling and romantic acres now oc cupied by Piedmont Park. Tho Georgian adopts as Its own the views of Mr. George Muse as stated In a letter to the meeting of Tuesday. He said: “I am heartily In favor or making Piedmont Park a perma nent pleasure park. I think this Is the last year that fairs Bhould be held there. Tho buildings are now In a dilapidated condition and should, tn my Judgment, be tern down as soon as possible after next fall's fair. 1 will be glad to cooperate with the cltixens interested In making Piedmont park an attractive, beautiful place set apart entirely for the pleasure of the people.” The Intention la to convert the old exposition grounds Into pleasure grounds more along tbe lines of Druid Hill Park In Baltimore. Not ao much of zoological gardens, but playgrounds for young and old. Kurokl's American fame la fixed. He has said that American women are perfect. Wise old Jap. Why Is the summer girl's bathing suit like the soul of wit? All telegraph ic replies must be prepaid. The Birmingham Age-Herald ably champions the Jamestown exposition. The plea la timely and the'argument is'true. The News and Courier does not understand our wire jumping rope coupon. Why, we thought that this wonld be plate since Charleston claims to be "on the lumb." The Charleston News and Courier dentes that Senator Tillman Is a liar. This la the highest tribute the News and Courier haa ever paid to Senator Tillman. It la more than the Columbia State would aay. Dispatches stating that Castro will go abroad for bis health has no refer ence to the distinguished gentleman who does a large part In making the infield the Atlanta ball team Im pregnable. Some of the clubs on the circuit probably wish Atlanta's Castro did not give dally /evidence of each su perabundant health and spirit. (Class Poem for 1207, Cox College.) By MISS ALICE BACON COX.

To tbe Editor of The Georgina On August 2, 1901, you published for me sn article entitled? "On to tbe Ocean With Our State Itoad. 1 I therein endeavored, briefly, to state tbe history of our road, to call attention to tba fact that tbe road bad largely more than defrayed the total ozpensea of oil brnuebea of our state government (excepting eleemosy. nary expenses), to point out the dnngcr of Its depreciation In value In Its "present sit uatlou,” and to urge that wo ahould begin the work oP Its extension to the sen, mak lug It a "through lino" by the time of the esplrstlon of the eslstlug lease In the year 1920. In that nrtlcleMt was contended that building this extension would be no Injury to the other railways of Georgia, that there would be "room enough for all by the tlmo of tho completion of tho Satti- mlnu canal; but that, even If each a policy ahould work competitive results ngalust other railroads In Georgia, their owners coubl not cotnplnlu In law, because of tlie principle of "caveat emptort" nor In mor als, because tbe state road had made them all pay at n time when tholr private owners were not flnanclslly able to make "western connections.” Events since so writing have confirmed mo In my belief that no time should now lie lost In entering on this work, with the view to complete It by or before 1920. It must be apparent to all who have noted the unsuppllrd demands for ready transportation facilities—and especially keeping in view the completion of the great canal—that this "through lluc"»fr»ni the y to the great westcri Jo our-south Atlantic si command a leading and henvily patronised — - ■ [i,aiiy miles, the ng the "oldest and best established route." Home have hesitated to Indorse tbe policy of estenslott bet-nose of tho fear thnt proper "western connections" might not be made at Chattanooga; Many think thnt wo ahould It overtures from cnpltallata at Clncln- anti beyond bernro deciding. to build. The road In the pant has not "gone begging" for "western counectloila.” If It were Unfit to tidewater and thus became useful to In ternational transportation requirements 'western connections" would be swift to imaIf “traffic arrann*inftnta" with OUT fail* And It ahould be noted that It la only _hout 135 tnllta (a to a point on thi Mow All obatruc that point to l*nducali.

Our people would bo taxed in this THE PROBLEM8 OF ATLANTA'S GROWTH To the Editor of The Georgian: To be broad-minded and willing enter Into big enterprises requires ed ucatlon and knowledge. If one visit New York and see the millions of dollars spent and being spent the benefit of those living there and going there each year—the street car and railroads, on ground, elevated and underneath the ground, under great buildings and under the water—when one comes to Atlanta with room build a great* Southern city that today and for all future to be to the South what Chicago Is to the West and New York to the Union, he wf be amazed. It was never dreamed of by the old settlers here that Atlanta would ev attain anything like her present magic growth. . Her. business renter Is con gested'and Injured by the streets not having been properly laid' out. business blocks ought * to have 400 feet square, with 20-feet alleys dl vldlng the' blocks. Stores could have been built with depth of 190 feet alley. Whitehall has takfen the lead with shallow store depth and Broad and Forsyth can never come to the rescue, for the stbres haven't suffl clent depth The great firms like High & Co. are at the> mercy of owners of small stores and business scattered and rents run ning up on them higher each year. The residence section is being ruined as the demand for houses In the city Is so great that where lots formerly 100x200 had only-one house, now there are six to eight, and from one to three •torldfc. The above are facts, and as they exist the property holders are reapim fabulous rents and the business am resident section of the city Is stunted and helpless, unless great effort taken to ward off the tendency. J tend the limits,*-grade out the streets and give light, water, fire and school facilities quickly, and then extend the sewerage clear away and keep Attorn ta In future on a broad basis. The limits have got to be extended All available lots for select homes have been Improved or held for specula tion. Those wanting to build new homes with latest modem up-to-date equipments, who realize value of best sanitary plumbing and ventilation, and are willing to spend $5,000 to $60,000, for good reasons want to be In the city limits, want school, police, fire protection, lights, and not have to spend enormous sums to have the city extend limits, grade streets and make its Improvements later and confiscate what they have done and force further expense. To get city advantages costs money, and better be In the city and pay high taxes than in suburbs at half the price. The future growth is a settled ques' tion, and just as well be brogtf^flfltetf* ed and liberal In spirit and purse: ex tend limits, grade thoroughfares, Issue bonds and prepare In *.lme for water, sewer and lights, plan and work for Greater Atlanta and the various tax Incomes to the city will grow, and those coming by the thousands each year to Invest In business, homes, etc., will come quicker and spend more when !t r realized the spirit of Atlanta Is to hold her position In the South, while Chica go holds hers In the West and New York in the East, to which all sections will ever contribute to enhance their values. Thirty-five years ago there waa only one man here that was talked of as being worth $100,000. Now there are many millionaires. Preprfre the way, for outside capital Is at the city's gates. Her magic growth and her geographic position and various advantages and. Inducements to capital and skilled labor ' have ipread all over tho country, and the housands of visitors who come here each year go to distant states and countries to sing her praise, and so by facts and*worth Atlanta will double and treble In , values and population, and give her a big broad bed and tuck away the trundle bed as a suvenlr to put up fifty years from now to show he foresight, wisdom and confidence her people had that made her greater. United let every citizen be. and abol Ish the narrow confines and break up the little corporate nests and let her be the proud, dominating spirit that all sections will rally around In the HENRY st. JACKSON. Into Georgia by tbe greater road.

This use of road an part of a great intracontlnentai and toternntfoua! line should bring large returns In money to our state treasury to lighten the burdens of direct tnxntlnir anil enable Georgia to press onward In her march of progress, development and prosperity.

VISIT MORGIAN Several Parties Are Shown Through Modern News paper Plant. The boys of tho High school are seeing how a modern newspaper Is printed, and learning more about the practical side of Journalism than a school could teach them in many weeks. For three days they have been calling on Tho Georgian, and have been shown the big plant from top to bot tom. The High school Is tdo big for all the boys to come at once, so an Informal Invitation was extended to them to come as they “pleased, In small parties, or large. Tho boys were quick to re spond to the Invitation, and several parties have visited The Georgian. They were met by a member of the business staff, who gave a thorough ex planation of tho various processes which go to make a daily paper, from the gathering of the news to the mail ing of completed Georgians. Then they were'shown through tho composing room, where they watched the llno- trt>es, nnd to tho press room, where they saw the whirling press turn out Its thousands of papers. Older than the pupils of ths grammar schools, ths latest visitors watched the making of a newspaper with even more Interest and understanding. The won derful linotypes, the preparation or printed pictures from photographs, the way news Is gathered ond sent over the country through tho press associations —all appealed to every boy who has a love for mechanics—and what boy has not? It Is expected that, before the close of school, every boy In the High school will pay a visit to The Georgians plant.
