Each copy weighed two pounds, requiring nearly three carloads of while |«per. The total Issue consumed 100,006 pounds of white paper, costing $2,700. The tonne carried $.$46 inches of ad vertising. NOT GOOD.BYE. Upon reflection I do not think that I shall try to say good-bye to tbe readers of The Georgian and to my friends In Georgia. f do not permit myself to believe that I am going to leave Atlanta for all time. If I thought that I should cancel the agreement at all hazards and stay at borne. I am off on a furlough of Indefinite extent, but none the less a fur lough which In time fmjst expire. Dr. rather, I am transferred' for a few campaigns from the journalistic army of the Tennessee to the army of the Potomac—now united for all time under one flag and fighting for one glorious country. I, can not forecast' the result of the experiment which I am about to try In a new and larger field. It to easy enough and natural enough for me to labor here In Georgia and the South. I know the people. History, tradition and sentiment have Seeped Into my nature with, the rains an< ? sunshine of tbe South. I can shut my eyes and see what this people are doing. I can stop my ears and bear what they say. I. can put my hand on my own heart and know what they feel and think. It to easy enough to write to this people and for them and at them. Y , I do not know what the people of that larger and .busier city may think of me. I do not know how easy, or how hard. It may. be to reach them, or how far the equipment of a modest Southerp newspaper man may fit me for the national scope am) compass of The New York Ameri can. It to an experiment upon which I enter with" a‘Tull seh'se of Its high and serious responsibility, and with many- serious -misgivings as to my self. I have a contract extending over several years with the greatest hearted and most generous publisher In the world. If J-fall It will he my fault, not his. I am sure that I like him'-too well to iontlnue to take his mousy unless I earn. It In acceptable service. And so It to at laat an experiment. When I go I shall try to live and labor In New .York' as I have In Qeorgla. I am building In tbe hope that people are at last the same the world over—that human hearts are stirred by the same feelings, moved by the same Impulses and reached through the same channels. What you have taught me In Georgia I shall honestly try to make "the basis of ray work In New York. If I can only carry In any part the sunshine of this dear old state to that larger commonwealth, I shall not regret the effort I make there— even if It falls. And If It falls I can always come home. There Is always something In Georgia for a well-meaning man to do. I shall hold my citizenship here. And my “forgetting" to permanently out of order when It comes to Georgia and the South. 1 And so this Is Just to thank you—with all my heart—simply and gratefully—for the kindness And the heartiness and the generosity of these tost few weeks. There are no words that can carry my gratitude to this people and to my friends. The warmest of words are cold and empty when they seek to carry my appreciation for the expressions ot this last fortnight In Georgia. The kind words that have come to mb from all walks of life have enriched my memory for all tbe yeara that are left to me. Nothing can buy them. Nothing can obliterate them. They are graven deeply on something within me which to not of stone, but It will hold them so long as 1 can remember. % I know better than my critics bow far I am from meriting all that has been ssld and done. I know how many and better men have de served these things and have not had them. And my only apology to my recognition of the fact that I have always had more than I deserve. But I have loved the things about me—loved with all my heart—the state, the city, the people, the causes, the traditions, the sentlinents, and I have been the happiest ot men. To have lived, to have labored, to have loved—to have lived with those I loved, labored for those I love, and loved those tor whom I la bored— this Indeed Is happiness and it has been mine. I did not think It would come back to me In such a flood of sunshine as I went away. But It has—and I thank God and the people who have given It. Few men have had so much. No man has been more grateful for what haa come to him. For the rest, I am sure this dear old Georglaa will go on to even larger and better things. There to a strong, wise man at the helm. Mr. Beely to one of the strong figures ot the state. lie has already made good. He will do even greater and better things in the future. Georgia is rich In him. I leave him to Georgia as sn Inheritance of such value, that It ought to atone for all my own mistakes. I wish I could say all the warm and cordial things I think and know of this galtont and accomplished staff ot The Georgian. Editorial, com mercial, social and typographical, they are worthy of the admiration and respect of all men In and out of the great profession which they adorn. But this must end somewhere. And so for a time, and In a song without words, tot me say just good-bye—until we meet again. SHALL WE DWELL AMID THE TREE TOPS? Peter Pan aa portrayed with all the witchery and delicious charm of Maude Adams has come and gone, leaving this prosaic' city still tingling with the delight ot a glimpse Into fairyland. The great audiences which tested the capacity of Atlanta's splendid opera house were worthy trib utes to the genius of one of America's dramatic stars, and to that faith In beautiful Ideals which neither sordid greed for gold nor the restless striving ot human ambition can ever entirely destroy. AS an evangel from the "Never, Never, Never Land." whose bound ing lines otttlmes are strangely entangled with those which mark the limits of city lots, Maude Adams won her way Into tbe hearts of a people who can never quite cease to sing, dance and dream aa long as the mocking btr warbles, the fire-files fitfully gleam In the darkness of Southern woods and the fragrance of jasmine and violet recalls' the happy days of cloudless childhood. Peter Pan, in the hands of daluty Maude Adams, was a revelation, even to those wen and women .who al ready loved this quaint, almost uncanny child of Barrie's fertile brain. He danced hit subtle way into the hearts of thousands who gladly gave him welcome, connecting as he did this sad old work-a-day world with that sweet and beautiful realm where dreams come true and fairies still exist. The lessons taught by this weird fantasy become more manifest now that tbe lights are turned off, tbe applause bss cessed and fascinat ing Maude Adams to carrying to other cities and to other hearts the,gos pel of youth, ot love, and of hope. At the curtain obscured the exquisite picture < t Peter Pan sitting alone. In his little house, perched upon the tree tops and wistfully watching Wendy aa the flew back to her home and loved ones, this question spontaneously sprung Insistently Into vital forces, “Do not the heights always bring Isolation and loneliness?" As In Peter Pan's case, the, lights may beckon upward; tbe dark ness be Illumined by the glitter and glory of splendid achievement, and the restless fire-flies ot yearning aspiration—like shooting stars—float above the clouds of earthly care and limitation and yet Isolation may rob success of its gratification and achievement of Its glory; Peter Pan bravely blew his reeds high up among tbe tree tops after having denied the craving ot bis fresh, tender soul for tbe loving ties ot home and he tried to find comfort In his loneliness In tbs thought that Wendy would return some day to put his little house In order. But will she return to carry to Peter Pan comfort and good cheer as be dwells among the tree tops? Or will she find the warm, sweet welcome which awaited her from those bound to her by cords of love and sympathy far too compensating to again risk the cold ratified atmos phere of the ditty heights? Peter Pan had no political aspirations as we know, but he was In capable of self-denial. Tbe pathos of his rejection of the restraints of borne finds frequent analogy In this struggling, striving old world of ours. He yearned for the unrestrained freedom of the heights; he craved the limitless delights of jhe "fields of upper air" and he deadened the calls of bis heart for love and companionship In the weird notes ot Ills pipe. In the demands of his Irresponsible, untrained heart for self- gratification he was doomed to a loneliness and Isolation full of pathetic significance. Wendy went home to loved ones; to the warmth and good cheer of the family fireside and perchance told her story of adventure to Michael and John, who were also weary of wandering far afield. Even little Tinker Bell bad served her bright and musical mission; the pirates had been conquered; "Slightly Soiled’’ and bis diverting companions per- naps somehow found their way back Into the lives and hearts of their waiting mothers, and only Peter Pan. who Ignored the call of home and affection, rested in the chilling atmosphere of the heights, which he had attained at a sacrifice of the sweetest Instincts and cravings of the hu man soul. Shall we live In the tree tops above and beyond the tender ties of human love, or shall we find the paths of duty and responsibility close to-earth, where flowers may bloom In the most barren soli If we but do our part as becomes the men and women, who, looking ahead, see- tbe lights which beckon, not to isolated heights, but Into fields rich with harvests, that await tbe gleaning of earnest, tireless hands. We bade a reluctant farewell to Peter Pan as be sat and played his pretty pipes In his little bouse amid the tree tops. But which one of us would give the glow of the home fireside, the sweetness of the love of kindred and friends, and even the bark of faith ful Nana for the beautiful but pathetic Isolation of a home on the heights, a dwelllng amid thq tree tops? The lights may be there, but the throb of human hearts makes tenderer music than even tbe alluring pipes of dear little Peter Pan. As darkness came Into the great opera house and the marvelous crowds found their way out Into the city’s thoroughfares, a wish wa* born of the last glimpse ot the bewitching face of Maude Adams, namely, that the beautiful fairies would at last lead Peter Pan back to earth and Into a home where affection and sympathy lighten the burdens and illuminate all the dark places. The house In the tree tops to allur ing but lonely and unstable.

Round Mountain, Ala.', Nov. 4.—Prospect* are flattering for Round Mountain to become a beautiful city In the near future. Round Moun tain to situated near the center of Cherokee county. It Is favorably situated for a thriving manufacturing center, the Southern and Chat tanooga Southern passing through It, the Coosa river, a navigable stream within half a mile of the depot, while two beautiful mountain etreams of water, 1 Little river and Yellow creek, flow Into the nearby valley, fur nishing a splendid supply of pure mountain water, both for drinking and manufacturing purposes. There Is at' present an Iron furnace located at Round Mountain, and the ore that Is being mined Is said to be of the finest south of Pittsburg. The necessary machinery has been placed to bore or drill Into the mountain to the under lodge range of this fine specimen of ore, which Is thought to be from four to nix feet thick. Shopld they be aucceaaful In striking rich ore, there Is no reason why Round Mountain should not assume proportions second to Birmingham In the near future. A large concrete union warehouse Is being constructed for the pur pose of storing cotton and other farm products. Several substantial citizens of Cherokee county have expressed a willingness to form a Joint stock company to erect a $100,000 cotton mill. The stockholders of the Round Mountain Furnace Company have ar ranged to lay off their property In town lot* at once. They will be sold cheap. I-and Is cheap and 10,000 acres are at the disposal of those desiring to build In this beautiful section. A cordial welcome awaits all Industri ous laboring people.
