Our Carolina contemporaries of Charleston snd Columbia are Inclined to think that prohibition In Georgia will not be permanent—that It will be short lived and full of sorrow. They are mistaken. In course of time the cities may repent and grow tired of virtue and abstemious ways. Hut the force that paased the prohibition bill was the country vote. The Georgia counties havo been prohibition for twenty years and will doubtless be so tor fifty more. They will not repent or change. Nor will they consent to rein state the cities in tbo position to over ride these country prohibition prin ciples through the dovlltry of the Jug trade. We have to Inform our contempo raries that Goorgla Is permanently dry. That clnb of Boston women known as the Mole Club was probably namod by the husbands of tho members.

It Is only by knowledge and comparison that Atlanta people can be made to understand how much Tho Georgian would save them in this matter of the telephones. It Is not necessary to assert the absence of any other feeling than a consideration for the public pocket and the public convenience In this cru sade against a poor service and a plethoric purse. We have no private grudge or grievance against the Bell corporation. But we simply know that they can, if they will, give us a better ser vice and a far more profitable contract than we enjoy today. What is done elsewhere can be done at home. What Is good enough for Richmond and other cities Is not too good for Atlanta. Let us go a little farther for an Illustration: The city of Stockholm In 8weden is a city of 400,009 population. It has only 2,000 fewer telephones than tho city of Now Yark with nearly 4,000,000 people. The city owna the telephone*, and the citizen paya $1.00 a month, or $12.00 a year, for a better service than we buy for $48.00 and $60.00 a year In Atlanta. The system Is well-nigh perfect and Its financial results aro eminently iatlsfactory. Are the conditions more favorable In Sweden than In this country of Edison and-Graham Bell? In the Republic of Switzerland, the government owns tho telephones, and the people pay there as In Stockholm $1.00 per month, or $12.00 per year, for a service that Is eminently satisfactory. What are tho condi tions that prevail In a little country like Switzerland which enable the government to furnish the people with a great public convenience at one- fourth the price that Is charged In the land of electricity and Ingenious devices? la It any wonder that the Bell Company In America has grown so rich and so great when we not only road but see how city councils lie down and fail even to groan when the heavy wheel of high prices roll over them. It comes to us from reliable source* that the Bell Company of Atlanta, upon an Investment of about $1,000,000, has, In a few years, developed a property worth $7,000,0001 Well, what has enabled them to do It? The apathy of the people and the easy going Indifference of tho city legislature. The people are enti tled to some of these vast profits upon franchises which come from their liberality. Tho streets and the franchises here ore the people's! Hava we had In the past or are we getting now any reasonable share of the emoluments of an enterprise to which we contribute everything ex cept the equipment end the expert knowledge of the machinery? You are fine men, and good citizens, gentlemen of the council. But you haven't traded well for Atlanta with the Telephone Company. THE COMPLETED COMMISSION AND ITS PROMISE. The waiting over the railway commissioners has been well worth white in that it has found Fuller Callaway and George Hillyer willing to serve the state. Tho appointments will give general, and we do not see why not uni versal, satisfaction over the commonwealth. Fuller Callaway Is one of the really remarkablo young men that Georgia has produced within the ora. He carries under a radiant surface of good fellowship and fun one of the clearest heads and one of the soundest Judgments that have been given to affairs in Georgia. He Is a business man of extraordinary vigor and success, a worker of easy yet prodigious energy, and a citizen of great popularity. It is doubt ful If there Is a man of greater and more effective business force in west ern Georgia. He has been a great power in the campaign which led to railway regulation, and has richly won and morltod the recognition which the governor has accorded him In this appointment. That he will fill It ably, amiably, and yet fearlessly, there Is no room to doubt. Judgo George Hillyer Is a namo to add honor and repute to any office In the state. Years of high thinking and clean living have given him a lofty and enviable place In the hearts of Georgians, and his acceptance of a place upon the commission will still further strengthen that Impartial body In the confldenoe and good will of the people. Judge Hillyer has been a diligent and clear-headed student of tho railroad problem, and was an important factor In educating public opinion to its present conception of popular rights and official duties. Wisdom and sanity are his attri butes, and the people will be glad of his acceptance of this public trust. And now with a railway commission so clean cut, so definite In per sonality of reform, and so thoroughly in harmony with each other and with the administration, tho railway problem In Georgia should be draw-' Ing nigh to a sound, substantial and permanent solution. We congratulate tbo governor, tho state and the railroads, upon the wisdom. Justice and definiteness of the commission. SAINT GAUDENS. Tho Georgian has written as yet no odltorlal tribute to St. Gaudons. And It Is Just as well since hero at hand from the August Collier's comes a little tribute so simple, so tender and so true that It carries our thought and shall also convey tho expression wo would give to it: "It Is well at times to turn from tense snd floetlng topics of the day, and bathe In an atmosphere that gives worth to tho so journ on a small nnd whirling globe. Some weeks have passed slnco from America and the earth passed a spirit which added to tho consolation and tho Inspiration of thoao who live today. A month ago, and n man with a tender heart, a puro Imagination, nobility of choice, nnd the meekness of an nngol dwelt among tho New Hampshire bill*. He Is gone, and thoso who await their time lean back toward hie memory with the reverence that we pny to better men. He wob an artist among few, and moreover n man who In nearly sixty years of mortal misery and success was never cruel, or vain, or harsh. Good-by, Saint Gaudeni. The world Is dark, with you boneath the sod." Brief as It Is, this Is as much as might be said In volumes. It Is comprehensive In the largest praise, and It falls like a benedic tion upon the grave of the gonlua, philanthropist, and genUeman of the New Hampshire Hills. ‘A HEARING FOR THE SOUTH. Inspection of an extended Hat of lecturers who are enter taining and instructing "Chautauquas" and other summer assem blies shows that a large number of Southern men are given placo In Northern programs They are men of sanity and balance, too, very different from the Tillmans, Dixons and Vardamans, who really misrepresent the best elements of the South. Wo believe that It Is a commendable thing for Northern au dience* to have opportunity to hear men like Dr. Lamar, John Temple Graves, John S. Wise, Senator Carmack, President Al derman. Dr. Nordyke and others of their standing upon South ern topics. They present the best aspects of the South, and their discourse Is free from political bias and vulgar sensation alism. Through them, the South is getting a hearing before this generation of the North which can not tall to add amity to tho relations between the two sections, through a better understand ing and a higher mutual appreciation. No man ta as much an American as ho might be until he knows all sections of this magnificent land; the far East, the West and the South should Interest the contra! Northerner most deeply, and when tho best representatives of tbo brains and en ergy of those regions come among us, they should appear to over flowing audiences.—Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch. In these brief 'paragraphs our esteemed contemporary In tho capital of Ohio has crystallised the truth as to the lyceum and Chautauqua plat forms of today. There is much of flippant and unthinking comment upon the value of the lecture platform to the times, and the lecture platform, like other Institutions, pollttca], social and religious, U sometimes abused by un worthy and Insufficient men. But In the main the lyceum under the touch of men like John B. Gordon, Postmaster General Wilson, Bam Jones, Henry Wattenon and others of conscience and caliber and standing has done as much or more than any other Influence to introduce tho sections to each other, and to broaden and better the catholic sentiment of the country. Without any comparison of the relative merit and value of the liter ature and logic of different productions. It may be said without exagger ation that the spectAle of John B. Gordon stacdlng In a Northern grove or theater, with that "Confederate epic" upon hla cheek,' talking frankly and beartfully to a responsive audience' of Grand Army men abont our common coi-try, was as wholesome and noble an influence as the two decades have furnished to patriotism and to the national spirit Our contemporary of Columbus Is right in the statement that “no man is as much an American as he might bo until he knows all sections of this greet country.” And It Is as good for the South to receive as for the North to bestow the hospitality which links the sections into an Indissoluble union. The North is always eager to hear of the growth and status and spirit of the South. Its public platforms are filled With Southern men, and the warmth of the welcome given to Southern speakers Is an earnest of the noble spirit of real sympathy and frater nity which pulses the Northern heart toward us. When the South sends good and sound and patriotic men to the Northern and Western states It Is laying the foundation for that spirit which not only welcomes the South to the councils of the nation, but which, In the great emergency which may come to our social and lnduatriol life, will make us friends In need for tho settlement and solution of the weightiest problems of our civilization. It Is good policy to send our representative men to tho Northern platforms, and |t Is Just as wise to welcome with equal heartiness to our own, the wise and cultured men who represent the genius and character of the North. • THE CONSTITUTION’S QUEER FIGURES ON THE TELEPHONE FRANCHISE The Constitution said editorially Saturday: "By the end of the twenty-two year period, which was the date of the expiration of the old franchise, according to the city’s contention, the city will, conservatively estimated, bo receiving $20,000 a year.” Tbo Constitution says further t« tho name editorial: "In other words, the Income of {132,000 now In sight would have equal ed a 3 per cent tax for ten years, had the compromise not been effected.” How The Constitution reached the figure of {133,000, when, according to Its previous statement, the city will get (20,000 tt year within twenty years, and more than that for eleven yean thereafter, is not known. The Constitution evidently gets (132,000 by figuring on (4,000 a year for thirty-three years, but this does not "gee” with the statement In the editorial that the city will be getting (20,000 a year long before the fran chise expires. What Tho Constitution probably meant (Mayor Fro Tern. Qullllan has made the same Claim) Is that a percentage tux of 1 per cent for thirty years Is equivalent to a 3 per cent tax for the ten yeahs after the present franchises expire. Wherein The Constitution misses Its guess about (600,000—Just half a million dollars. The Constitution says the city win get (4,000 the first year and (20.000 the twentieth year. This Is an average of'(11,000 a year, making a total for the first twenty years of (340,000. If the percentage Increases at the rate of from (4,000 to (20.000—Just "five times" Itself—in twenty years, then In ten years It would "two-and- a-balf times" Itself. In the twentieth year, the city would get (20,000, The Constitution says, and In the thirtieth year Just two-and-a-half times that much, or ((0,000 a year. The general average for the Iasi ten years would be the mean of (20,- 000 and (60,000, which would be (15,000 a year, or (350,000 In ten years. The city, in other words, would get (240,000 for the first twenty years and (350,000 for the last ten years, making a total of (590,000. This Is according to The ^institution's figures and according to The Constitution’s method of figuring carried out to their logical conclusion. But Alderman Qullllan said—and The Constitution tried to say—that 1 per cent for thirty years Is equivalent to 2 per cent for the last ten years. One per cent for thirty years, according to The Constitution's figures and method of figuring, amounts to (690,009. One per cent for the last ten years, according to The Constitution's figures and method of figuring, Is (350,000. Three per cent for the last ten years would be three times as much as 1 per cent for the last ten years, or three times as much as (360,000. which would be (1,050,000. The difference between (1.050,000 and (590,000 la the approximate dif ference between the facts on one side, and what Alderman Qullllan esti mated, and what The Constitution tried to say on the other side. The alderman and The Constitution missed their guess (460,000. That Is, carrying The Constitution figures and the mayor pro tem.'f method of figuring to their logical conclusion. IS IT 1% OR 1-8 OF 196? "Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of them selves.” said Franklin, a long time ago. It Is still truo, as many of our depositors are learning every day. People aro too apt to look down on small beginnings. 'They think they will open a savings account when they can start with a good-sized nest egg. We have seen a good many more really sub stantial savings accounts develop from a start of a small sum and a determination to go ahead, than from hundred-dollar starts without the determination. We like these small beginnings. Thoy show the true saving spirit. We receive finy amount from $1.00 upwards in our Savings Department and pay interest at the rate of 4 per cent MADD0X-RUCKER BANKING CO.

CRY FOR AN OA8IS. To Tho Atlanta Georgian, In connec tion with Its poem In regard to Van ished Days.)—Greensboro, N. O. Rec ord. Yet, the South Is dry, dear brother, and you and L alas. No more may test the Juleps or tip the foaming glass. We may only tip tho waiter as he brings us "somethin' dry," And should we want It wetter, 'tie no use to wink the eye. When the thirsty soul* within us cry aloud for "somethin’ hot” We shall find that In the dryness there Is not a heated spot Should we ask for some concoction that I* only good when cold. We'd get twenty-threed for asking for the stuff that can't be told. up We are up ngaliut it, brother, against It good and hard, All the -places" now are glaciers and all the bars are barred. The beads are on the wampum but are missing from tho rye. For the stills are still In stillness and the South Is going dry. Shall we meet In called convention, we brethren of the pen? Shall we ask our legislature to make us wet again? For since the South is drying up, total abstinence Is nigh. There Is reason for believing that our papers will be dry. ONE CORPORATION CLERK. To the Editor of The Georgian: J am only a poor ^corporation clerk, and one poor woman can't write much even to help herself, much less others; but I wont to ask you whether you think that If President Roosevelt’s Southern mother had been a telegraph operator, earning her own and her lit tle boys' living by the same work as a man operator, would President Roose velt, when he got grow" and “>* ht * teeth—would he have had enough Southern chivalry, or whatever you call It. to .ay and .tand by it and stand by the other., and not go back on them. In spite of Inconvenience and lo.. and Ignominy—that a woman should be paid as much as a man for doing the same work? This seems to be something that our half-Southern born president hasn't yet had the heart to do. You don't expect much soul from the head of a corporation, but President Roosevelt Is ahead of all the corporations, and It ought to be easy, or at least not very embarrassing, for him to show a little sympathy with the cause of common Justice. There are many corporation officers who rl»e above the natural spiritual disabilities of the Institutions they represent, though as a rule they can't afford the luxury of souls; they are the streams and ran not rise higher than their corporation source, despite respectable weakly (some quite weakly) efforts to sidestep mammon, doing to others as they'd be done by. etc., ontiunday when there is nothing doing; but the rest of the week doing everything they can, without crossing the line of the law or the profits, with just enough rebat ing thrown In to give life a flavor. But when a naturally chivalrous man has made a specialty of his seml-Bouthern blood. It Is fslr to ask what he has to say for the Southern mothers and sit ters and cousins and aunts and sweet hearts that do a man’s work, and often support a man’s responsibilities for less than a man gets for the tame work. 1 am not a Southern woman myself, hut I believe that If we practice simple ARMY-NAVY ORDERS —AND— MOVEMENTS OF VESSELS Army Orders, Wnshlngton, Aug. 26.—t’nptnln Munus Me Closkey, Fourth field artillery, from Bat tery C to O.

First she had achieved her object left you there and moved on to secure a fresh scalp to hang at her girdle," answered Basil. “That Is totally false, Basil. Since you force me to touch on the matter again, I repeat—what I have already said to you more than once—that you played an underhand, unmanly port In that bygone business from-start, to fin ish. I had It on the best authority at the time that you undermined me In every possible way In your private talks to Violet Moore, and wound up by telling her that I had Incurred a gambling debt whloh would practically ruin all my prospects. "Now, Basil. It Is useless for you to deny the charge all ovsr again. Noth ing that you could possibly say would convince me that my Informant told me lies that time. So let tho discus sion end, please, once for all. Why should 1 not be aorry? But that con not be helped now. The world Is full hated you; yes, hated you, Basil. And 1 meant what I sold—and now I repeat It. and hear It from my own lips, and blame no one else for It but yourself alone. Whatever affection I may have had for you. Basil, whatever interest I may have taken In you, you have destroyed by your own acts and words Do not blame Raymond, do not blame Carl Mueller; blame yourself." In spite of her defiant words and un flinching gnze, a terrible fear was gripping nt her heartstrings that Ba- ill'a deadly menace of a few momenta before boded some revengeful act of which her brother Raymond would be the victim. Basil had Included Carl Mueller’s nitme in his furious threat; but Sylvia's concern now centered wholly In her brother. Let Mueller look to himself' It was her Immediate duty to protect Raymond from the violence of thla thoroughly dangerous man. As she finished speaking a sudden change crossed Basil Thurston’s furious face. H# recoiled a little, as If her words had acted upon him like physi cal blows, and for a moment or two of silence he fixed upon Sylvia's face a look of Incredulous, hungry reproach and pleading. But her gaxe never wavered, her purpose never faltered, whatever Inner terror* preyed upon her at the time, and Basil, as he looked Into her face, read his doom there and In hit ears he seemed to hear the death-knelt of all his hopes and dreams. "That ends itl Say ho more. Syl via,” he said. In an almost Inaudible whisper. Then he turned his wild eyes on Raymond's face, "You shall hear more of this, Ray mond Thurston," he muttered under his breath, and without another word turned away abruptly and strode out of sight. "Of course, the man Is stark, star ing mad,” Raymond said, after a pause, during which Sylvia had made desper ate efforts to control her agitation. It Is positively dangerous to have such a person at large degenerated Into a hopeless drunkard.” "Ob, Raymond, come away from this —I am frightened!" Sylvia gasped at last. “Don't be absurd, child,” Raymond said, as he placed a reassuring arm around her waist and drew her nearer to him. "Don’t think of him one way or another, Sylvia. Come, let us re sume our walk. It almost seems *s If the fates were determined to prevent It today.” But their walk was not altogether a success, and when they reached home at lost the early October twilight was beginning and a gale waa raging with exhllaratlnr xhllaratlng fury.

Murderous "So you Intend, then, to keep up this quarrel, do you? You Intend to carry out your plan of revenge, Raymond, by putting an obstacle In the tya? of my whole life’s happiness and salva tion?" Basil's tone and manner hod under gone a startling change. He had re leased his grasp of his cousin, and he folded his arms across hi* chest as ho now spoke and fixed his eyes sullenly upon Raymond's face. "If you mean, as of course you do, that I have opposed your wishes with regard to Sylvia, I never tor one mo ment even wished to hide the truth as to my action In the matter, Basil. How. ever, that affair has been taken out of both our hands now by Sylvia her self. 1 suppose you have heard that she Is engaged to be married to Dr. Mueller? And I have hod nothing to do with that arrangement, at least.” "Nothing directly, perhaps, but Indi rectly your action toward me has rush ed Sylvia Into this cursed engage ment!" Basil said hoarsely. "But for your conduct she and I would never have been separated—but for your let ters and advice and all the reit of It she would have been engaged to me before this man ever came to the neighborhood. “You, and you only, are to blame. I see your finger In every movement, In every word, of Sylvia’s for months and months. But although aha may be en gaged to this Mueller she Is not yet married to him, and I tell you now to your face. Raymond, that I will enatch her away from both of you, from both of you. do you understand me? Yea, If I have to kill you both to attain my end!" “Blame Yourself."
