WELCOME ATLANTA’S NEW CITY HALL.
It rings like a note of genuine progress—the announcement that At
lanta is to have a city hall and court house worthy of the first cjty of
the South.
There are a hundred towns of ^,000 Inhabitants In thp middle west
whose court houses would make Atlanta's present structure look anti
quated nnd Insignificant.
"Fort Worth, Texas, with 10,000 people, has a stately structure that
makes our .great Atlanta’s Hall of Justice look like- a country telephone
exchange.
And Atlanta's repute rests In no small degree upon her public build
ings. With Memphis and Birmingham crowding In Impertinent famil
iarity upon her pre-eminence In. population—with even Nashville and
Richmond presuming to aspire to equality with this unmatched Metrop
olis of Dixie—we are always not only safe but serene If we can bring the
stranger within our gates to see what we have bullded.
Skyscrapers and viaducts—the Equitable, the Century, the Empire,
the Prudential, the Fourth National, and the Candler climax at the head
of Peachtree—the viaducts from Peters street through Whitehall to
Washington—these are our architectural glories, beside which the small
houses of our rivals fade into the similitude of thirty cents.
JuBt so long ns Atlanta holds this pre-eminence In architecture, the
boaster In numbers and in receipts will be confounded, and the Twen
tieth Century City will hold Its place first In the respect and admira
tion of the country.
Our public buildings are a distinct and noble asset of our progress
and repute, and with his new half-mllllon-dollar court house, we can
laugh our rivals to scorn for a score of years.
Other cities may In course of time equal Atlanta In commercial as
sets, but none of them will look It, and the rumor will continue to go out
to all the earth that Atlanta Is the first city of the South.
These are tho general reasons for rejoicing In our stately new pub
lic building.
The particular and coldly praotlca! reasons of room, of safety, of
necessity and of convenience of public business, are sufficient In them
selves to Justify the bold, wise announcement of the commissioners of
Fulton.
But the general reasons fairly make It shine as an expression of
public and progressive jiolicy.
Welcome the new Hall of Justice for Atlanta. '
Well done, the commissioners of Fulton.
THE ONLY DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT FAILING.
The Democratic people of this country will follow with unusual In
terest, from this time forth, the reports from the sick bed of Grover
Clcvclnnd In Now,Jersoy.
Tho ox-presldont of the United States has been a badly treated man
by his contemporaries and by the most malignant protestants against
his theory of politics. Few great mon In any political party have ever
been more violently and more unjustly abused. Upon mere suspicion,
which has never even approximately been established In proof or in
fact, ho has been credited with things that nre disloyal and with other
things that are even dishonest In tho generation in which ho lives.
And yet The Georgian, without hesitation, makes bold to say that
when tho history of these two decades is wrltton, there will bo few
figures In It which hold a higher and more honorable place than Orover
Cleveland, ex-president of tho United States. As the years go by, the
bitterness entailed by the mere Insistent vigor of hla convictions will
fade and fall away, and the estimate which history will place upon him
will be that of a strong man, a man of danntless courage, a man of res-
oluto convictions, a man of bold and definite policy—yea, and by all
tho provon records—an Amerlcnn of unimpeachable Integrity.
Mr. Cleveland can alford to wait upon tlmo for tho vindication and
glory that it is sure to bring, and the Democratic rank and file will re
member when unworthy suspicions are forgotten that ho was tho only
nmn In forty years that led the Democratic party two times to an Illus
trious victory.
To those who know him It seems strango and unusual that Mr.
Cleveland should be failing In thoso strong and vital qualities of sound
digestion which were the glory of his early polltlcn! career. The editor
of The Georgian recalls that at a banquet of the Southern Society In
New York In 1891, sitting bosldo tho great ex-president, he remarked to
him; "Mr. Cleveland, It Is difficult to understand how men called upon
to banquot so frequently as you are, and being so constantly a center of
BOclal entertainment and of gastronomic temptations, can emerge with
nny stomach at tho close of a winter season." And with tho round, full
glow of healthful digestion In his tone, Mr. Cleveland responded: "Why,
for ten years I have? eaten everything that la put before mo, drank
everything that la poured In my glasses, and at the end of a season I
have never realized that f had a stomach.” To thoso who heard the
comment, there was furnished tho Instant explanation of the wholesomo
vigor and courago of the great Democrat's private and public life, and
It will bring a sense of personal regret to many of these who henr now
that long before he has reached tho ago of physical or menttl decay,
the only Democratic president in four decades Is going down into the
shadows through an Impaired condition of tho digestive organs which
have furnished the steam aud the fuel for his vigorous and aggressive
life.
Surely, before this great man passes finally from the stage of
action, It would bo a timely and a tender thing If many of thoso who
have opposed him without reason and accused him without proof, would
testify In private and In public places to the respect which he has dura
bly won from tho republic that he has loved and served.
No private spite and no factious suspicion can disturb the serene
and splendid pluco which this great American will enjoy lit history.
That placo Is fixed, definite and serene. We only hope that the individ
uals who havo protested and are now protesting history, will add a lit
tle sunshine to a declining day and send tho only Democratic presi
dent of the generation down Into tho last shadows with the consolation
of the general confidence and regard of the party that ho and ho alone
has twice led to victory.
JUSTICE TO FITZGERALD.
The people of Fitzgerald are Justly indignant over a communication
sent from that great little city,to several ncwspaiiers, including The
Georgian, and apparently responsibly signed by one H. Wllllere.
The article gave a lugubrious picture of the alleged damage about
to be wrought to Fitzgerald's prosperity by several pending lawaults,
and waa calculated to retard the repute and progress of the town.
In the absence of the news editor of The Georgian, the name signed
was supposed to be that of our regular and always reliable correspond
ent at Fitzgerald, and waa Inserted under this Impression.
The Georgian heartily Joins the Fitzgerald and Ocllla and other
papers In the strongest condemnation of the Winters effort at deprecia
tion and nt the method used to further It.
It la to say the least a small spirit that would give unnecessary
publicity to conditions calculated to Injure the community In which
one lives, and we can well Imagine that only a sincere and demon
strated repentance could restore such a citizen to popular esteem.
Fitzgerald !s one of the towns of which Georgia Is genuinely proud.
Its origin. Its cosmopolitan population, its growth, its public spirit, ami
Its splendid suggestions of a reunited country make it unique and Idea!
among the municipalities of the state.
And we are glad to hear and to repeat from responalble sources that
Fitzgeralu la atill in the unbroken line of the progress, prosperity, and
happlneas which are a part of this great era of good things.

AS TO COMMUNION WINE.
Tc tho Editor of The Georgian:
There la such a thing as covering up
the truth with many words, and this la
what Mr. William L. LeConte haa done
In hla dlacuaaion of wine for the com
munion aervlce. He closes his article
with the assertion “that no one has
feund In the Bible any passage where
wine la spoken of as being used at the
Lord’s supper.” He says
The cup was blessed and passed
around, but no where la wine, or the
fermented juice of tho vine specified.''
If he will read what the Apostle says
In the 11th chapter of 1st Corinthians,
he will learn that the wine used In the
Lord's supper then was not, as he con.
tends, the unfermentod Juice of the
grape, but wine that produced Intoxi
cation. This great apostle denounces
the Corinthians for their abuse of wine
In their communion service, and says:
“One Is hungry and another Is drunk
en.” Whoever heard of any one being
drunken on the unfermented juice of
the grape?
Mr. LeConte will have to revise his
communication, and by the pardon of
an intelligent public. If he contends
that he Is right, then I refer him to the
original word, translated drunken. It
H derived from the Greek term methuo,
which means “to be drunk on wine,” "to
be intoxicated on wine." The same
term Is used by the Savior In Matthew
24:49 and in many other places In the
Bible. The Greek word translated wine
Is olnos. This word olnos means “wine,
which Inflamey and Intoxicates.” This
olnos Is the word used In John 2:3.
When they wanted wine (olnos) the
mother of Jesus salth unto him, they
have no wine."
This word Is us«d throughout the
Scripture and It never means the un
fermented grape Juice. Those who
can't examine Into, the original can ex
amine Into what Mr. Webster says of
the word In Its classical significance.
Of the ordinance Itself, he says: "The
bread and wine In the Lord's supper
ure symbols of the body and blood of
Christ."
But Mr. LeConte says that "wine is

COMMUNION WINE.
To tho Editor of The Georgian:
I see by the paper* that Georgia's
strict prohibition laws will cause some
trouble with tha churches In getting
Ine for communion. Why not adopt
the Florida plan of using pure grape
juice? Indeed, a pure grape juice la
the only wine used by many churches
throughout the United States. Wher
ever one goes In Florida he sees grape
arbors, and every family makes a little
wine for home use, the ladles of the
family attending to It, Just as they do
to putting tip jellies and preserves for
their own uao. Nearly all the churches
of different denominations use this
wine. Attempts have been made to
keep the Juice without fermenting It,
but It seems Impossible. The beat way
la to make a Jelly, put In small glosses
nnd when needed for use, mix with wa-
r. Then you get tho pure grape Juice.

IS BRYAN FOR PROHIBITION?
The Atlanta Georgian wonders If It
bo true that Bryan Is coming out for
prohibition—a tense question In Geor
gia—and If he will seek a nomination
from the Prohibition party. The Geor
gian does not long for Bryan and pro
hibition, but It Is fair-minded and
honorable, and says that prohibition,
added to Bryan's assorted cargo of fads,
would not hurt his chances of election.
It may be added that nothing that he
can now say or do will materially In
jure those chances. They wouldn't be
hurt If they were demolished.—Har

A POEM OF PROTEST.
To the Editor of The Georgian: -
The following lines are submitted,
with apologies to all of the poets, anent
the exceedingly disturbing noise made
by the city dump carts as they go In
and out Mitchell street to and from
their barn, with the .request that you
give them space, this being about the
only effort at relief that suggests Itself:
12 Midnight.
Have you ever been awakened at mid
night by the clock,
By the rumbling of the thunder or a
cyclone on "the rock?”
Have your dreams been rudely shat
tered by ten engines "poppingq>ff, H
'Or your peaceful slumber broken when
the kids have whooping cough?
If you have, then, gentle reader, punch
your ribs with joyous glee,
For certainly these are picnics to the
unearthly melee.
That disturbs you, wakes you, keeps
you wake, with not a sound to warn
When tbe city dump carts
Make their way
Out Mitchell to the barn.
S a. m.
Were you sleeping very soundly at the
breaking of the dawn.
When Gabriel couldn't wake you with
the tooting of hit horn?
With the dream of yet two hours more
of sweet, refreshing sleep,
And not even a mosquito's song to mar
your slumber sweet?.
Then congratulate your nlblets. for Fate
sure must cherish you.
And the guardian angel watches, look
ing to yoar weal for true;
For there's no relieving, no escaping,
no redemptlo , from the sound
Of the city dump carts' rumbling
When they shoot out
From the barn.

CHAPTER LXIII.—Concluded.
The four companions spent a quiet
day roaming through the park and
climbing the bluffs by the lake, but on
the next day—Friday—the rain fell In
torrents, and there was no chance of
getting out of doors. Perhaps on ac
count of the violence of the weather
Carl MUeller did not return that day to
The Hollow. There was no letter from
him on Saturday and Sylvia was be
ginning to feel puzzled and piqued.
By that day’s post Ethel received a
communication from the hospital to
which she was attached, and as she
read It she glanced nt Sylvia.
"I am sorry to say that I shall have
to be off tomorrow, nt latest, Sylvia. I
partially anticipated this recall to duty.
I shall be disappointed If I do not
meet your husband before I go."
A New 8urpHss.
"I will wire to him today. Ethel, I'm
certain he will strain a point If neces
sary, and come back at once. But must
you really go tomorrow? I am so sor
ry.”
"So am I. But those who arc bound
must obey, dear. There Is no help for
It.”
Sylvia accordingly sent a telegram
to Mueller.
"Ethel leaving Sunday. Come if pos.
slble today."
Her husband's prolonged absence and
his silence for the past few days
vaguely mystified Sylvia. She could
not but consider that he had paid a
very bad compliment to her old friends
In thus prolonging his stay during tholr
sojourn at The Hollow. Surely he could
have run over. If he had wished, for
part of a day at least.
Sylvia's feelings heightened to posi
tive Indignation when. In reply to her
telegram, she received the following
wire:
•'Extremely aorry, but ean not posaP
bly return for a few days longer. Make
my apologies to Mias Creswell. Hope
to aee her next time she comes to The
Hollow."
"How very extraordinary!" Sylvia
thought, aa she read this message again
and again. "It Is quite evident from
this that he does not wish to meet
Ethel. But why?"
She hesltnted as to showing the tele
gram to her friend, but Ethel entered
the room while Sylvia was still holding
the paper, and there was nothing for
It but to tell the girl the purport of the
telegram at least.
“Dear me I This Is too bad—but I
may be In this neighborhood soon
again, Sylvia.” Ethel said, thus lightly
passing the matter off. "I really must
go tomorrow."
"I have too great a regard for you
to aak you to stay longer, dear, In the
face of this telegram!" Sylvia said, with
a heightened color.
But, she added, a moment later!
"Still, until I aee Carl I can not really
understand hla absence. There may
have been some pressing necessity for
hts prolonged stay."
CHAPTER LXIV.
A Reconnoiter.

station. But he must have sudS.n v
changed his mind as to the people he
had expressed his Intention of seeing In
ten minutes later he was
walking quickly away from Cleveland
glancing back cautiously now and then
as though he feared pursuit ’
When about a mile from the town
Mueller arrived at a point whence a
narrow, rugged by-road thoroughfare
branched away from the main thor
oughfare, climbing (WBteep ascent In
the direction of the lake, nnd disap
pearing over the rugged brow of tho
"One cun not be too cautious when
,: v ?f ,he "^ t0 e,ca pe observation!”
Mueller said to himself as he hastily
left the main road and struck Into tho
rugged lane. "This will be a long way
round, certainly—but it may be 'the
shortest way Dome.' for all that. It will
take me to the least frequented side of
Tho Hollow park, and I can approach
tho back of the house by a circuitous
routs and reconnoiter a bit before r
make my presence known. Hv some
Internal mischance or other that girl
may still be at Tho Hollow, and I have
no wish to walk straight Into a trap -
He breathed a sigh of relief as he
reached the top of the hill nnd began
to descend the narrow lane. From this
point of the road a glorious lake view-
burst upon the sight, and Mueller re
laxed his rapid pace and removed his
soft felt hat, so ns to allow the bracing
wind from the lake to play upon his
throbbing temples.
Nearer and nearer he drew to the
lake shore, nnd nt Inst ho arrived at
the wall which at this side formed the
boundaries of the rambling grounds of
The Hollow.
In some places this wall hnd fallen
nnd great gaps nnd Assures were visi
ble here nnd there. Through one of
these yawning breaches. Mueller pres
ently entered the grounds and walked
still more slowly over the rolling ground
and In and out between the trees.
By this time tho sun was low In the
west, and long, level shafts of crimson
tlment which heightened when Ethel
became acquainted with rattle, one day
that Miss Trenerry and herself had
light quivered across the slopes and
uplands, casting huge shadows of tho
trees across the sward and glorifying
everything In Its transitory splendor.
"I shall approach the house through
the wooded walk," Mueller decided. ”1
shall strike Into the bypath at the
head of the walk and thus get round to
the servants' quarters and make In
quiries."
About a quarter of an hour Inter his
path led him down to the edge of the
walk, and he glanced round him warily,
pausing for a moment or two ere he ad
vanced further.
This solitary spot seemed to he full of
the wild sunset glow that quivered
brightly amid the thinning foliage of
the trees and fell In dappled lights and
shadows upon the mossy sward be
neath.
A wistful wind rose nnd fell nmfd the
matted branches; the crisp leaves rus
tled dreamily, now qnd then parting
with one of their golden members,
which floated softly earthward, to swell
the withered heaps around the great
gnarled trunks.
The measured beat of the waves on
the bench fell on Mueller's ear as In
still hesitated—why, he hardly could
tell—to advance further. Had he heard
a faint sound as of a footstep ap
proaching In the distance, or was It hut
the rustic of the October wind in tin
withered leaves?
He hnd paused In the shadow of a
great heechtree, but now, hesitating n"
longer, he emerged from his place of
ambush and went rapidly down the
sloping bank Into the walk. And the
moment he did so a girl's figure sud
denly confronted him—n figure which
had come up from the shore nnd had
kept purposely In the shadow as It ap
proached.
Carl Mueller started violently. "I* 11
an exclamation of surprise and dismay.
"Miss Creswell!"
The name escaped his Bps Involun
tarily.
Ethel Creswell leaned forward a lit
tle nnd looked fixedly Into the man s
face.
"Dr. Newell, of Black Horse Inn
poisoning fame? I thought so. I
guessed that I could not possibly be
mistaken!”
