To a Multitude of Correspondents.
, May tbe'eilltor of The Georgian be
permitted to make acknowledge
monts In thla column to u multitude
of people who have written him kind
ly and Inspiring letters relating to his
transfer from Georgia to another
field of editorial labor? These let
ters have beeu so many and no multi
plied day by day and withal so kind
ly, ao helpful and so Inspiring that
they touch doeply the responsive
chord which yet cannot find time to
cypress an uhswer to thorn all. In the
busy closing days of our connection
wjjh The Georgian and with the
opening days of onr advent to a
newer field, It Is Impossible that all
these letters should be answered
within any reasonable time, and wc,
therefore, beg with a full mul grate
ful heart to piake acknowledgment
through these columns to our friends
for the messages of comfort and In
spiration which shall mold our best
endeavor In the new lines of labor
which have come to us.

THE CLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATES.
The banks of Atlanta making up the Atlanta Clearing House Asso
ciation cannot be too highly commended for tho wise and vigorous policy
which they have adopted to me£t all possible contingencies which come
to us from the moving of the Southern cotton crop.
In no one thing Is Atlanta to be more congratulated than In the
strength, stability and conservative vigor of Its .banks. They are each
of them established upon the soundest of bases and with abundant cap
ital they hafe always mingled the highest common tense.
Better than that, Atlanta's banks stand like a unit together in
matters relating to tho trade and commerce of this city and section
and the strength of one Is as the strength of all combined. The action
of yesterday In the Issuance of clearing bouse certificates Is simply an
other expression of the policy which makes aafe tho financial status of
the city and the section around about. Under the conditions prevailing
Itetwoen the Atlanta hanks no depositor could lose a dollar so long as
.those banks and their securities existed. Better than that, no holder of
the Clearing House Certificates could lose a dollar until the streugth
of all the banks In Atlanta was exhausted. Standing together as these
hanks do. with a great phalanx front of finance, they make practically
one great bank with many branches and no disaster can happen to the
certificates so long as nny one or all of the banks are solvent sad
strong.
It would seem lb be Impossible for financial discretion to reach a
safer and more solid arrangement than this. And we sincerely trust
that the people of Atlanta and of Georgia will roallse the splendid condi
tion which prevails and that In case It should ever be possible for any
anxiety to be felt In thla section, every man of common sense would
realise that the safety of the depositor rests entirely In the strength of
his loyalty and confidence In the bank.
The coming of money to the financial centers of the country la pro
gressing steadily and satisfactorily, and no one seems to have any ap
prehension that there will be any further disturbance In tho conditions.
There has been a flurry without any real foundation behind It and wo
are both proud and happy to believe that when this-fog of apprehension
has been lifted the South with its conservative capital will have
emerged from Jt not less the ‘ Bunny South of Finance” than the “Sunny
South" of history.
THE CERTIFICATES GOOD AS GOLD OVER THE COUNTERS.
As an evidence of the public confidence Inspired by the Issuance of
tho Clearing House certificates of tho Atlanta banks, five leading de
partment stores on Whitehall street liavo authorised The Georgian to
say that these Clearing House certificates will be accepted as coin of
the realm over their counters during tho term of their existence.
The Davison-Paxon-Stokes Company, the Keely Company, M. Rich
& Bros., tho J. M. High Company and tho Chamberlln-Johnson-DuBose
Company, have promptly agreed that to shoppers and to payers of bills,
these Clearing House certificates will bo Just as acceptable ax cash over
their counters and In their offices.
' The thirty million dollars of resources now In tho united banks of
tbc Atlanta Clearing House stand back of these certificates; and that
they will pass current In nny channel of commerce Is already assured.
What mom rcmalus to be snld as n:i expression of public confidence
than this?

ruvcniment has barred roosters from

'or the watch company.

ATLANTA PROTESTS A LIMESTONE PUBLIC BUILDING.
The pride and common sense of Atlanta and of the South will pro
test against the proposition to construct of limestone the great Federal
Building which Is planned for this Twentieth century city.
We fall to see how tho government can reconcile such a proposition
with either good policy In an economic way or with tho spirit of perma
nent Improvement which seems to be dominant In the ago in which
wo live.
The government Is rich and prosperous. Atlanta Is a great and
growing city fully recognized nn one of the leading. If not the leading,
cities of the 8outh. A public Improvement built In this city of Atlanta
should be of the most substantial and oudnring quality. It should lie
built to represent tho power and boucflcence of the government both at
the present time and In its forecasting provision for the future. Nothing
cheap, uotblng shoddy, and nothing pcrlshablo should he erected by the
national consent In this great city at thla great time of prosperity and
development.
Georgia Is rich both In marble and In granite and Its splendid
products should be utilized by the government If the condition arc at
all equal, In the erection of a public building tu Georgia's capnal city.
The Indiana limestone Is not of such mnssive and enduring nature
ns the granite and mnrbfe of our Ocovgla quarries, and a due regard
for state pride as well us a high regard for general economic and |x>r-
mauont public Improvements should move the government to the erec
tion of a proper building at thin point.
We sincerely trust that no effort will he spared by those In author-
lly to eonservo these ends anil that Atlanta, which focuses tho eye and 1
attention of the South,,shall not bo saddled with a cheap and unsatis
factory structure which Is oxaoctod to last for tho noit fifty or one
hundred year*.
There should go to Washington a sounding protest against anything
less than marble and granite tu tho new public building for Atlanta.
THE STATE NORMAL AT ATHENS.
The State Normal School at Athens makes ah announcement In
these columns which is of. Interest to the general public and to which
wo direct attention because of Its Importance to the convenience of
students who desire to enter in January for the few vacancies on hand
nt that time and In order to save others from tho expense of going to
tho school only to find tt overcrowded and no place for thorn.
In reading an announcement like this one is always moved to re
gret and pity that the state cannot afford to furnish ample accommo
dations for all eager and anxious students. Instead of putting up so
early in our educational buildings the sign of “standing room only," the
stale Institution ought to bo able to bang out a kindly lamp of Invitation
from every window to every young aspiring soul In Georgia.
Tho Stato Normal at Athens fs one of tho finest schools In the
state and In the South. Professor Branson as a teacher, as a literary
man and as an educator ranks amoug tho first men In the South. Ills
abilities are of the most distinguished order and are fully recognized
throughout the country.
Miss Parrish Is one of the famous educational womeu of the
times, and these two, with an able and brilliant faculty, make up a
strong and inspiring Institution for the young men and young women
of the state.
Georgia ts fortunate Indeed In having schools like this dedicated
to the development of our intellectnl equality with othfer sections of the
republic. And we sincerely trust that tho future has better financial
things in store for the splendid Normal School Rt Athens.
