THOSE VERDANT 8ENATOR8.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
It Is too funny—that story I heard
about sixteen of our senators. A rep
resentative of one of the Atlanta brew
eries said to a friend of mine:
"M—. It Is ridiculous. The people of
Georgia hive actually sent sixteen
blankety-blanks to the senate who
never held office before, and w. can’t
do a damn thing with them!"
Now. Inn peaceful cltlaen and I
don't want to create any funs In our
glorious senate, having them nrramble
for a place among the Verdant sixteen,
but I want to submit that such a com
ment from an employee of a house that
foeia like "business will be ruined If we
have prohibition" la as refreshing In Its
revelation as It is rough and crude and
funny In expression.
All hall the verdant sixteen! And all
hall likewise every other senator and
representative who le standing like a
marble column before the onslaughts of
the liquor power! They are heroes, In
deed. In the greatest civic hour that
Georgia has ever known.

A LIGHT FOR THE MOUNTAIN GIRLS OF GEORGIA.
A picture seen three times a day In the dlnlnff room of a North
Georgia hotel has a bearing upon this question of Immigration weight
ier than the lntereat of the manufacturer or the railroad magnate.
As the l Jests of the Haddock Inn st Toccoa take their seats at ta
ble they are Instantly waited upon by a half score of rosy cheeked and
swift footed maidens of Georgia.
These are mountain girls belonging to that great class of whom we
shall hsar more hereafter. They come from the noble mountain school
at Demorest In Georgia, and Proprietor Blmpson, of the Haddock Inn,
from the beginning of his ownership in this hotel has used them Instead
of negro waiters to perform all the domestic duties of bis household,
paying them salaries as liberal as would be paid to men for the purpose
of siding them to complete their education at the Demorest school.
This is a domestic picture not often seen In the South. In the North
It Is common—almost universal. Scarcely a dining room In the smaller
hotels of the central states and the West ha* any other attendants than
the young white girls of that region who are In most cases using this
service to secure the funds to complete their education.
Mr. E. P. Simpson, proprietor of the Haddock Ion, la a man of af
fairs, a capitalist and a great hearted philanthropist In the quietest and
most unpretentious way. The beautiful hotel at the foot of Toccoa Falls
Is a mere Incident among bis multitude of Investments and In It bo finds
a home for himself and bla family during the heated tsrm. He and his
noble wife are profoundly concerned, aa all good man and women ought
to be, In tho welfaro and development of the mountain folk about them.
They are believers, as all senalble people ought to bo, in the theory that
manual labor must be made to appear honorablo and respectablo among
all classes of our people who are not rich enough to choose tbelr profes
sions and to follow the Immediate bent of their Inclinations.
In time past tho monopoly of all manual service by the negro has had
a tendency to shut out tho people of narrow means. In and out of the
mountains, from doing those things which are honorable and profitable
as welL Mr. Simpson practlcallxes his creed by giving employment to
os many of these people as bs can find, and he supplements his employ
ment by kind treatment and wise counsel and uplifting moral Influences
thrown about the young pcoplo who do his work. It Is tho heart's desire
of this noble couplo of North Georgia to do something practical and sub
stantial for the young people of the Georgia mountain region. Mr. Simp
son Is the proprietor of much property around Toccoa Falls.
As an evidence of the practical philanthropy which pulses his veins,
be stands ready at any time to contribute this beautiful hotel and this
brilliantly beautiful scenery which Immediately surrounds It to a great
school of mental and Industrial training for the mountain glrlB of North
Georgia.
■ We are authorised to say for him that if any capital can be raised
to sustain such a school and to Insure Its proper and continuous conduct,
that he Is ready to contribute one of tho two most beautiful spots In all
Georgia and In all the South with a well equipped and beautiful building
as a nucleus for the school.
No moro princely proposition has been presented by a private cltlxen
of Georgia In many years. No one can realize Its scope or Its power ex
cept those who have seen the place. If Tallulah Is the “Orand and Ter
rible,” Toccoa Is tho soft and "beautiful” spot In Georgia scenery. The
Fell Is a bridal veil of singular beauty, and the creek or brook which
runB from It joined to other brooks emptying Into it make a sylvan doll
as beautiful as any to be found In the South. It is an Ideal home for
children as well as for grown people!
Tho hotel Is three atorios high with wldo and spacious verandas,
large and airy rooms, an amplo dining room and a hall upstairs amply
large for an assembly room for a number of girls.
No more beautiful site for a college building can be found In Georgia
and The Georgian Invokes the attention and Interest of all those who love
humanity and would do a noble servlco to their race la tho superb oppor
tunity suggested by the generous proposition of this noble hearted citizen
of Toccoa.
Theso mountain people of North Georgia are a problem that press
heavily upon the consciences and responsibilities of tho state. They are
a multitude In numbers and they are of our own race and blood and
have a near and primal claim upon our philanthropy above every alien
and unasslmilablo race. The Georgian has felt for years that the first
philanthropy of the stato and tho South should bo directed toward the
mountain people.
Two or three admirable efforts have been made In this direction. Miss
Martha Berry's school In the Flatwooda of Floyd county has attracted the
attention or every thoughtrul educator and of every noble philanthropist
la the state and has achieved a national reputation.
Andrew Ritchie Is doing a noble work for mountain boys In his
school at Rabun Oap, and here juat In another part of the territory comes
this superb opportunity tor state or Individual philanthropy In a school
for the mountain girls.
There aro enough mountain people In Georgia to bo absorbed Into the
Industrial llfo of this commonwealth and cared for by Its educators and
philanthropists beforo wo go out In eager search after foreign peoples
with whom we havo nothing lu common end who havo no claim upon our
duty or our consciences.
Crudely and hurriedly The Georgian flings out this hint of splendid
possibility to Individual or to general philanthropy.
If any great mnn whom the Almighty has prospered wit!h large
means, or It any great soul with splendid energies wishes to consecrate
money or energy, to a work worthy of the beat la men, let him visit
Haddock Inn at Toccoa Falls and confer with Mr. E. P. Simpson, Its
golden boartod owner and proprietor.
And The Georgian pledgee here and now Its whole hearted help to
any Indlrldual, rich or poor, who will give himself to this movement for
the mountain girls of Georgia.

ator, statesman, patriot and gallant gentleman always
Hero Is Senator Carmack's statement of Democratic principles as
given to Harper’s Weekly:
A strict—or let us rather say an honest and faithful—con
struction of tho constitution, which, being Interpreted, Is, “The
support of our state governments In all their rights, as the most
competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the
Burest bulwark against anti-republican tendencies.
Tho preservation of the general government In Its whole
constitutional vigor, as tho sheet-anchor of our peace at home and
our Bufety nbrond.
To resist with the utmost energy every unconstitutional ex
tension of Federal jiower as against the states, and of the ex
ecutive power os against other departments of the government
In our foreign policy to keep woll within the "shadow of our
rock-safety," the counsels of Washington and the maxims of Jef
ferson.
To cast out tho devil of militarism from the councils of the
nation and the hearts of the people, and to put aside all dreams
of conquest and colonial empire.
To make legitimate use of all the powers of the Federal gov
ernment to suppress monopoly, but so as not to give countenance
and support to the deadliest monopoly of all—the monopoly of
power In the government at Washington.
Rigidly to regulate and restrain the great railroad corpora
tions. which, being natural monopolies, have a power of oppres
sion too great to leave unchecked—but disclaiming any sympa
thy for the policy of government ownership of the railways.
To Institute a wise economy In public expenditures.
Resolutely to set about a reformation of the tariff with the
ultimate purpose to make revenue the only object of taxation.
Such. It seems to me, should be the policy of the Democratic
party, and auch should be the Issues of the next campaign.
The bourbon Post of Houston goes into such ecstaclee over these par
agraphs that It is reasonable to assume that they fairly represent the
political creeds of The Post and of The Post's political idol, Charles A.
Culberson.
Well, they are sound principles, as might have been expected rrom
the author and from the Indorser. The Georgian feels no hesitation lu
adding Its own Indorsement, along with the renewed aasurance of its
high and well matured admiration tor Carmack, Culberson and Editor
Johnson.
But The Georgian baa somehow gotten Into the way of being lest
concerned about abstract principlca than for present pressing perils and
necessities that concern the people.
Abstract principles are too apj these days to drift into platitude*,
and In the case of the people versus plutocracy the essential need Is ac
tion, direct, definite and decisive.
The name doesn't matter much after all. What the people want Is
results.
BELIEVES IT IS RIGHT
AND WILL HELP ATLANTA
Atlanta, Ga., July 4, 107.
Mr. F. L. Seely, Publisher Georgian.
Dear Sir: I am in favor of prohibition covering the entire
state of Georgia, first because I believe it is right, and second,
because I cannot see how business could be made to suffer by
reason of the fact that people could not buy whisky. Whisky
certainly does not increase values or earning capacity, and
does not promote happiness or prosperity.
I believe it is a fact that for every man and for every dollar
that would leave Atlanta on account of prohibition, vyo men
and $2 would come back. In other words, there are a lot of
good people who would like-to live in Atlanta and other large
cities but for the danger to which their children are exposed.
I hope The Georgian will be leading in the fight for the
women and children of this state. Yours truly,
GEO. E. KING, President King Hardware Co.

a Famous Diamond
By MRS. C. N. WILLIAMSON,
Author of “Tho Lightning Conductor,
Eto., Etc.
CHAPTER XL—Concluded.
Mra. Warden waa there, and as she
had heard of the accident, Elspeth had
to tell her all about It. before she could
bopo to obtain any satisfaction on an
other subject. Indeed, the oiu hut-ra-
keeper flattered herself that Mias Dean
must have come to her room for the
express purpose of giving her the de
tail*. Elspeth gathered this from Mrs.
Warden's naive thanks, and It was not
worth while to hurt her feelings by
disabusing her of the Impression. Ac
cordingly- the girl did not contradict
her. but merely said, "By the by, I Just
met In the hall a middle-aged man
with a short, grlxaled beard, wonder
fully brilliant dark eyes, and features
rather like Captain Oxford'a. I never
mot him before, and I wonder If be can
be stopping at the hotel. Can you tell
from my description of him?"
Mrs. Warden looked puzzled and
shook her head. “Indeed. I can’t. Miss,”
said she. "There are plenty of gentle
men with short, grtixled beards, but I
don't remember anyone with particu
larly brilliant eye*.’’
"You would remember If you had seen
his,” broke in Elspeth.
'"Perhaps I should, Mlsa," said Mrs.
Wordon. "But as for his looking like
Captain Oxford, I don't think 1'vo ever
yet seen that young gentleman, though
l*ve heard plenty about him from one
person or another."
"Surely you must have seen him,
Elspeth persisted. "He's extremely good
looking."
"Then I'm aure I haven't. I don't
call any of the young gentlemen In the
Castle at present extremely good look
ing, though some of them are well
enough In their way. But you aeo Cap
tain Oxford arrived only a day or two
before you did, Mias, and almost ever
since he came he’s kept In hie room, or
maybe been In Mr. Kenrith's suite, ex
cept When Mr. Kenrlth had him out In
**ie motor car. I've never happened to
Be anywhere about when he was on
view, as you might say. and I don’t
know that I’ve had any particular curi
osity, though tho gossip of the serv
ants' hall Is that he’s dead In love with
that beautiful young lady, the counteaa
of Lombart'a daughter."
"Well, I'm afraid you can't toll me
anything about this mysterious new
comer then," said Elspeth. disappointed,
"for the only way In which I can de
scribe him accurately Is by saying that
be look* something as Captain Oxford
may look, 25 or SO years from now.”
She rose, and Mrs. Warden, who fain
would have kept her for a pleasant lit
tle gossip, could not persuade her to
%la evening the tower room seemed
gloomy, as It had never seemed before,
even during the ghastly experience*
which had ao severely tried Elapeth's
nerves. It would be hers but for a fort
night longer. She must go, and she did
not know where. After all her strug
gles, all her hopes, the disappointment
waa too bitter.
How she had admired this room a
week ago. and how proud she had been
of It! How she had enjoyed the
thought of all the nice booke whose
glided covers winked at her from be
hind glass doors. How her courage had
rlaen to the task of finding a solution
for all the mysteries unassisted by any
one. Now she would go away and
never know the explanation.
Worat of all. what would Mr. Kenrlth
think when he heard, perhape from Mr.
McGowan, that she had behaved ao
foolishly that she had been aaked to
resign?
She had not dared let herself dwell
upon this thought before, but now It
overwhelmed her. and the long re
strained torrent of her tear* burst
forth. She could eat no dinner, nor
could the sleep that night, though she
was undisturbed by any influence out
side her own mind.
Her head ached when she rose In the
morning, and she ws* glad to hear the
knock which told her that the servant
had arrived with tea and breakfast. She
was not hungry, but the tea would do
her good, she thought.
The man came In and placed the tray
on the table, but having don* so. he
lingered. "There's been a terrible thing
happened In the night, miss.” said he,
with that unctuous enjoyment of the
sensational so oftsn aoen among per
sons of his class. "Lady Ardclllfe and
Countess Radepolskol have both been
robbed of all their Jewels.”
CHAPTER XII.
Was It a Plot?
Had Elspeth herself been In the plot
and learned thus suddenly of Its discov
ery she could hardly have been more
startled than she was by th* news of
the robbery.
Yesterday, Mr. Kenrlth hod loet hit
Jewels In the most mysterious circum
stances; and now Lady Ardclllfe and
Counteea Radepolskol had been robbed.
It was at least a strange coincidence
that these events hod followed
quickly one upon the other.
Elspeth felt as If she were groping
In the dark for a master key which
could open all doors tnd lead her at
length Into the hidden placo where the
secret of these mysteries lay. It was
as If the caught a glimpse of that key.
shining through the twilight, and then.
Just as the put out her hand, It van-
tshed again. •
The servant could embroider bis
story with very fsw details. He knew
only that the robbery had not been
discovered until morning. The maid
of the countess and the maid of Lady
Ardclllfe had given the alarm, and it
was said that the two ladles must have
been chloroformed, as the atmosphere
of their rooms was still heavy with
tho drug.
When Elspeth discovered that the
man had little real Information, she
did not encourage him to stay and gos
sip, but hurried through her breakfast,
and went out to team what the could
for herself.
She was scarcely surprised to seo
Lady Ardellffo and the countess both
In the great hall, talking earnestly to
Mr. McGowan. No one else hod ap
peared aa yet, for It wa* very early,
and there had scarcely been time for
tho exciting news of the robbery to
spread through tho hotel.
Elspeth had to pass Hear the group,
on her way to the manager's room, and
the three were to deeply absorbed In
their conversation that they neither
heard nor saw the young typist. She
had no Intention of eavesdropping, but
some words uttered by Mr. McGowan
reached her eara, and startltd her ao
much that It waa all she could do to
suppress a cry of distress.
"I do beg that you will help me to
avoid a scandal," ths manager was say.
Ing. "If you publicly accuse Lady
Hilary"—
He lowered his voice, and Elspeth
beard no more; but It was enough. A
J lance at the countess' hard, handsoms
ace showed her that It would taka
persuasions more powerful than Mr.
McGowan's to Induce her to relinquish
so choice a revenge. Both women hated
Lady Hilary Vane, and though It was
Impossible—Elspeth told herself—that
she could be guilty, circumstantial evi
dence must somehow point to her as
the thief, or they would not dare
threaten to accuse her.
Elspeth grew cold with fear at the
sight of the pitfall prepared for her
friend by these two Jealous women.
Even If Lady Hilary could prove her
Innocence, she would be made to euf-
fer, and Elspeth could not bear that
It ahould be so. How could ah* save
the poor child? she asked herielf. Then,
suddenly, she thought of Trowbridge
and his passion for Lady Hilary Vane.
From It had sprung the malice of those
who would ruin the girl; but through
It she might yet be rescued.
There was not a second to spare. If
Mr. Trowbridge were to be summoned
to this task; and without an Instant’s
hesitation Elspeth sped through corri
dor after corridor on her way to his
sitting room. She had not bad time to
knock at the door, when It opened and
he came out. "Miss Dean!" he ex
claimed In aurpriae at the sight of her
flushed face.
"I’ve come to ask you to save Lady
Hilary,’ she burst out abruptly.
•'Save Lady Hilary?" No one who
saw him then could have doubted the
sincerity of hit love.
"From Lady ArdclIITe and the count,
as.” Elspeth went on, breathlessly.
All their Jewels have been stolen In
Iho night. For some reason or other
they suspect I.ady Hilary and are go
ing to accuse her as a thief. They hate
her, you know. They are downstairs
In the great hall now, talking to Mr.
McGowan, who Is trying to dissuade
them; but I know he can not. You,
perhaps, may. I think It's the only
hope. Oh, do make haate. If Lady
Hilary should come down, os she gen
erally does about this time, there will
be a horrible scene, unless you prevent
It"—
The look on his face frightened Els
peth. "I will prevent It," he eald. "Go
to her. Keep her In her room If you
can. Make any excuse. Give me a
little time, that'e all I ask.”
Then he was gone, and Elspeth did
not stop to look after him. She flew
oft In the opposite direction, which was
that of Imdy Hilary's room, but she
had not gone far when ehe saw the
girl approaching with her mother.
Elspeth paused, bewildered. What
could she do now? After the misera
ble ecene yesterday, when Lady Lant-

bart had done what she could to ruin
her. how would It be possible to accost
the ladles and prevent them from go
ing downstairs? Yet somehow the
object must be accomplished.
Lady Lambart saw htr from afar
ott. Elspeth could see th# handsome
face freexe Into haughtiness. Though
she could not hear the words, she
knew that Lady Lambart was forbid
ding her daughter to speak In passing,
and It did flash through Elspeth's head
that, df she were revengeful, she could
satisfy all cravings by letting the two
go on to their fate. But at this mo-
msnt she would not only have sacri
ficed a thousand revenges, but her
hopes for hef own future happiness, to
save Hilary Vane, and careless of con
sequences to herself, she etepped for
ward, saying: “Don't go downstalra
Just yet, I beg. Lady Hilary. I can t
tell you why. but—but If you'll wait
—If you'll breakfast In your room, I
hope you may eave yourself and—
Lady Lambart—a very dleagreeable ex
perience."
Elspeth expected an Insulting answer
from Lady Lambart, but, to her sur
prise, none came. Mother and daugh
ter stopped abruptly, the girl turning
pale, the woman flushing scarlet un
der her rouge and powder.
"Oh. mother," exclaimed Hilary. 'It
has come." •
Instantly Elspeth guessed the thought
In their minds. She remembered the
words she had overheard yesterday,
when Lady Lambart had said to her
daughter that "tomorrow a summons
would be served." They thought now
that this dreaded thing hnd happened,
and that. If they obeyed the warning
she had given, they might somehow
hide from disaster. Elspeth decided
that, for Lady Hilary’s sake, the best
thing she could do would be to let the
Impression remain undisturbed for tho
present.
"I told you what would happen, but
I didn’t know It would come quite so
soon," half whispered Lady Lambart.
"Now, will you be sensible and save us
both In the only way you can7 It
Isn't too late yet."
"I must—I see now that I must,”
said Lady Hilary. "If I could see him,
I would say"— _
"You enn’t see him now. You must
write a note, and quickly,” replied Lady
Lambart, In the same low tone she had
used before.

BAR THE BULL PUPS.
To the Editor of The Georgian.
Allow me to express my commenda
tion of your recent editorial on the
"Bull Pup." It wag most timely and
sensible. One such Incident ss that at
East Point ought to be sufficient to for.
ever bar him from the city. He Is a
constant menace to the safety of the
community. I can not understand how
It Is people will persist In keeping such
dangerous pets, but If they will, the
city ought to step In and protect Its cit
izens—put out all such dogs now here
and tax them out forever hereafter.
Tours truly,
