Opening of the Exposition—Tribute to Georgians. Jamestown Exposition, June 10.— Surrounded by Georgia soldiers and many prominent Georgians' and offi cials, President Theodore Roosevelt was Introduced to the vast throng of peo- ple gathered for the Georgia Day ex- erclses by W. Norwood Mitchell, of Atlanta, Gs., president of the James town Exposition commission. President Mitchell said: "Virginians and Countrymen: Stand ing here on the soil of the grand old commonwealth, the cradle of American civilisation and true patriotism: In the midst of this great Southern Interna tional exposition, on behslt of Georgia, the brightest etar of the Southern con stellation, I welcome you all on Geor gia Day. Upon me has been conferred the honor and pleasure of Introducing to you the llluetrlous guest, who. In fitting words, will herald to the world the pride he feels In his Southern birth, a birthright of which he well may be proud, for In the history of this great country over which he presides there are no pages that glow brighter than those that record the deeds of our be loved South. "From that day S00 years ago, when the little ber.u of Anglo,Saxons steered their shlpe to the spot on which we are now standing, bearing at their mast head not an electric light of our modern ships, but the bright light of civiliza tion to the new world, our South, In every stirring event In our country's history, has been chosen to shine forth to an admiring World . In the glorious acts and character of her people. "it was a Southern man on Southern soil Whose Durnlng words sowed the seed of the American Revolution. Pat rick Henry, while Jefferson voiced the words of liberty that Washington made good, when on Southern soli at York- ,town the banner of ■ St.; Qeorge was furled: , "When the dark clouds of war over cast our country and brother was ar rayed against* brother, the opposing armies were led by Southern Jnen, Lee and Scott. "And when In the course of the his tory of our country. It became neces sary for the preservation of our Insti tutions In their Integrity, and for the' preservation of this glorious republic to free the slaves. It was a Southern man who issued the emancipation proc lamation, the gentle, kindly, lovable Abraham Lincoln, for he was flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone. "Then when the arms were grounded, the flags furled, the soil stained by the blood of martyrs, our beloved South, lying prostrate, crushed, It was one of her own who with Ills noble heart bleeding for his people lifted to us by his teaching and example In honor and principle the star of hope, our beloved Leo. ! "Thank God, though, while commer cialism In Its offensive sense has In a measure crept Into our South, yet Blie still clings to tho Ideal that has made Inn- glorious in tin i n-t. Lifting above the sordid dollar honor and principle, regnrdlng Integrity In her men, purity In her .women and homes above all, making these the standards against mere wealth, regardless of how that wealth may havo been attained. "It Is from these that comes the Illus trious guest of today. Held In esteem, honor and affection by the South, re gardless of political affiliation, not be cause of his exalted position, but for his honesty, because when he sees Ills duty, like the immortal Lee. he swerves not from it, holding that duty right and justice above gain, applauding and ad miring wealth, whether corporate or Individual, no matter how great, when honestly gotten, condemning and de spising when gained at the expense of a betrayed trust. From his beloved Southern mother he Imbibes largely the Ideals that has placed him before an admiring country as one who means to do his dutv bv all. ‘Knowing no North, no South, ■■ East, no West, giving a square deal to the poor as well as the rich, seeking the punishment of Ill-gotten wealth as he would the pauper. In national environ ment our distinguished guest Is known over the entire world, known and ad mired, but today I Introduce him to you as the most distinguished of Georgia's distinguished grandsons, the president of the United States.” Amid the thunderous cheering of the thousands of people, President Roose velt advanced to the front of the re viewing stand. oooooaooaocKHjtjciooocioiwoiwia 0 a a PROUD OF ANCE8TRY.

CONSUMER GETS LITTLE, OR EVEN WORSE THAN THAT, BY REDUCTION IN FREIGHT Commissioner Brown Gives a Few Facts and Figures. Some startling statements are made In the history of railroad traffic In Georgia, both freight and passenger, embraced In the motion of Commission, er Joseph M. Brown for the “zone” sys tem In the passenger reduction case. Commissioner ,Brown shows that It was mainly through the efforts of the Georgia railroad commission that sub stantial reduction In Interstate freight rates from the Fast and West to all points In Georgia, except coast towns, were secured In 1905. - In the matter of men’s clothing, he shows that freight rates to Atlanta from Eastern points were reduced $. WAITS A SLICE OF DEKALB'S LAND Ask Giraiid Jury to Change County Lint* To Take Three Districts. Street railway and lighting compa nies In Savannah, Macon, Augusta, Co lumbus and Athens were assessed by Comptroller General Wright Monday, the aggregate increases over returns made amounting to $2,690,299. Following the heavy increase secured from the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, the comptroller at once took up the returns of the other corporations engaged in similar lines, making the Atlanta concern the basis for his as sessments. It, la understood that the outside con cerns had awaited the final outcome In the case of the Atlanta company, and expected that their own returns would be Increased proportionately. . After go ing carefully over all the figures In the returns, # the comptroller made the as sessments as follows: Savannah's Increase. The Savannah Electric Company re turned Its property at $1,170,060 and the comptroller assessed It at $2,120,000.. an Increase of $949,940. The francnl: was returned at $496,409, nnd the In crease on this Is proportionate to the physical values, as is the case In all of the assessments. The Macon Railway and Light Com pany returned its property at $533,619, and It was assessed af $984,000, an In crease of $450,381. The franchise was returned at $248,928. The Augusta Railway and Electric Company was returned at $697,181, and It was assessed at $1,472,000, an In crease of $774,811, or more than double. The franchise was returned at $208,286. The Columbus Railroad Company, which Is really two corporations re turned in one, made returns of $243,- 633, and was assessed at $656,000, an Increase of $412,367, or more than dou ble. The franchise was returned at $60,000. The Athens Electric Hallway Com pany came nearer making a proper re turn than any of this class. It was re turned at $216 400 and was assessed‘at $319,200. an Increase of $102,800. Its franchise was returned at $57,600. Comptroller Wright will now begin work on the railroad returns, nnd will devote his attention to the big trunk lines first. That there will be some Too much limelight caused a number of Baptist ministers Monday piornlng to urge that In thb future all newspa per* reporters "be* excluded • froth the weekly sessions of the Atlanta Baptist Ministers' Conference. Each minister In turn delivered his opinion of reporters, headline writers, city editors and the newspaper frater nity In general, some praising. Home condemning, until Anally the motion to exclude the reporters was side-trucked and a substitute providing for a com mittee to Investigate the matter was adopted. "Let the cdnunlttee report to the con ference in executive session,” said Dr. W. W. Landrum, "for the fatal error thus far has been In discussing this before tho reporters." Dr. J. \V. Millard, pastor of the Ponce DeLeon Baptist church, introduced the resolution. The motion was to exclude all reporters, but in the discussion only The Journal's reports were mentioned. Following ore the opinions of some of the ministers as expressed on Monday morning: “Just Want Sensation." Dr. Millard—"All the newspapers want Is sensations. The regular bust ness and purposes of the conference are not hundied, but let 'something out of the ordinary happen ojrfet some minis ter make un unusua\ or heated state meat nnjl the newspapers grab at It and make asses of us. The reporters an good fellows, but they don’t .under stand." Dr. J. L. D. Hlllycr—"After the rldlc ulous, false position I was placed In by The Journal report of my discussion of total depravity, I am in favor of any thing that will keep such stuff out* of the papers. In that report I was mis represented and lied about." Rev. John D. Jordan—“The treatment of I)r. Hillyer was Just an Illustration •of total depravity. I am In favor of letting the reporters stay ,ln." Dr. R. L. Motley—"My complaint Is with the headline writers chiefly. When Brother ' Parrish-spoke of his change from a Methodist to a Baptist minister, The Journal headlines were mislead ing. It was'a positive Imposition. The Journal account of the trouble between Barnwell and London In Kdgewood, I am Informed, was nothing but a bundle of falsehoods." "Find Out Anyway." Rev. A. C. Ward—“We tried to do this before and the reporters found out everything we did anyway. It Is itn possible to keep anything from the newspapers. Better lot tho reporters in or tho newspaper accounts will be ten times as wild.” Dr. John E.

In two hours the building, with con siderable adjacent property, had been wiped out. There was no Are depart ments and the only way that other nearby property was saved was through the efforts of bucket brigades, one of which was formed by women win worked like Trojans. Two persons were burned alive Em ma Clark, a negro chambermaid, and John Eaton, a white steward. There was such great excitement that It was believed some of the guests had also been burned, but all escaped, many barely huvlng tlmo to get out. clad only In their night clothes. The majority of the guests lost practically all their ef fects. That many lives were not lost Is at tributed directly to tho heroism of Carl Boeschcn. of Richmond, Va., a young sergeant In the Richmond light artil lery of Blues, He was stopping In tile Fltsgerakl collage and discovered the lire In the hotel kitchen. Rushing In, he found the night bell boy asleep. After some trouble the boy was awakened und Sergeant Boeschen with this boy and another ran through the building from floor to floor awakening guests and warning them of the Im pending danger. Men and women rushed from the' httlldlng like mad men. One woman, with an III child, enme out In her night dress with her child In one hand nnd a hair brush In the other.

Indicative of the steady advance In Southern coal mining, says The Manufacturers’ Record. Is the fact that last year West Virginia supplanted Illinois as the second coal-producing state In this country'. Its output having been 43,276,433 short tons, us against 41.497,435 tons In Illinois. To be sure, suspension of mining In Illinois In the early spring of 1906 contributed to tills reversal of rank, although In 1905 Illinois was less than 1,000,004 tons ahead of West Virginia In production.
