HIGH TRIBUTE IS PAID
TO JOHN TEMPLE GRA VES
Hundreds of Foremost Men of South Gather
at the Kimball to Do Him
Honor.
In the history of the South It Is
doubtful If any private citizen ever
went away under such a surpassing
tribute of honor, eulogy, tenderness
end tears ss were showered on John
Temple Oraves at the great farewell
banquet tendered him by F. L. Seely
on Saturday night.
It Is almost If not altogether without
a' parallel.
In sparkling water and with heart-
some godspeeds,' J00 representative
men of Georgia and the South bads
farewell to Mr. Graves In the dining
hall of the New Kimball.
No more representative body of men
ever gathered In this city, .where many
great occasions have brought many
wonderful assemblages. No more won
ilet ful nor • more united • tribute was
perhaps ever paid one of Georgia's
private citizens than that paid to Mr.
Graves, who goes from the editorship
of The Atlanta Georgian to the editor'
ship of The New York American.
Journalists. Jurists, statesmen, gov
ernors. United States senators, con
gressmen, supreme court judges, great
editors, great actors, his excellency, the
governor of Georgia, and every calling,
lawyer, physician, professional and
business men In practically every walk
of life were represented In the splendid
gathering. Hearty and sincere praise
fell from the lips of the many speakers
for the honored guest and his host, F.
L..Seely, proprietor of The Georgian.
Through the heartsomeness of the
godspeeds thero ran a tender vein of
contact with Mr. Graves. And the man
Who was the center of this occasion
was profoundly moved by the sincerity
of those who paid tribute to his worth
and character, and the constant evi
dences of approval of It alt from every
one present.
A Brilliant Scans.
It was a brilliant scene when the
great dining hall was thrown open
shortly after 8 o’clock. At the center
of the room running across one side of
the room was the speakers' table. At
the center of this sat Mr. Graves. Mr.
fteely and Toastmaster 'Anderson, with
the speakers for the evening on either
side. Great banks of chrysanthemums
graced the tables, while vases of them
were scattered throughout all of the
tables. A guest was seated at every
cover provided. Indicating the presence
of every one who had accepted the In
vitation. , „ _ .
The menu was perfectly served.
There were oysters, planked fish, quall-
on-toaat. coffee. Neapolitan cream and
cigars. The service was admirable In
every way.'
Before the speakers on the program
hesnn. letters and telegrams of regret
were read from a number of dlstln-
nul“hed people detained from attend
ing At the list moment. Among these
were: Governor Anlel. of South Caro
lina; ex-Oovernor. D. C. Heyward, o:
Mouth Carolina: Governor llloxham, of
Florida; Governor Bwaneon, of Vlr-
Cinia; Caperton Braxton, Virginia'! laat
candidate for president; Cham - — “
John Wesley Gaines. Joel C
Harris and many others.
Mr. Hsarst’a Tel#Bram.
William Randolph Hoarat, proprietor
of The New York Amertcen. which pa.
per Mr. Oraves will Join, wired, along
with his cordial good wlehes, hie re-
aret that imperative butlneas at the
last moment would prevent hie attend
ance. Much regret was felt at the In
ability of the greet New Yorker to at-
tend.
There were many beautiful and
touching Incidents during the evening.
Once Harry L. Bchtealnser gross and
proposed a toast to Mr. Oraves’ vener
able father, oeneral Graves, who wss
present. Every guest stood and drank
In sparkling water to the venerable sire
of the gueet of the evening.
Again, while the orchestra was dis
coursing. Ralph Bingham Improvised
words for the occasion and sang them
with fine effect and to tremendous ap
plause. Then, when Mr. Beely pre
sented Mr. Graves with the laurel
wreath coming from a good woman In
Florida, and the handsome cane, the
gift of The Georgian family, the guest
of honor was profoundly moved.
No happier choice of toastmaster
, ouM have been made than that of
General Clifford L. Anderson. He has
been a close personal friend of Mr.
oraves for years, and to the highest
degree poesetsee the qualities necessa
ry for auch an occasion.
When Mr. Orsvee arose to respond
to the tributes that had bean poured
•n lavishly at hta feet, he was moved
to his depths. Tears came to his eyes
as he spoke tenderly, lovingly, exqui
sitely of his friends whom hs was
leaving. As hs ceased and sank Into
his seat, the great gathering broke Into
that grand hymn, ‘‘God Be with You
'Til We Meet Again."
Toaetmaster’s Opening Remarks.
Toastmaster General Clifford L. An
derson In his opening remarks said
mat while the South sorrowed at the
b>a- of Colonel Graves, It was recog
nized that he had been called to one of
thi
highest places In ths Held of jour-
. After paying tribute to He
he said:
lenry
"Now another great Southerner has
been called to high journalistic place
i,, continue the work of Henry Orady—
John Temple Graves. That he will wor
thily uphold every tradition of the
South we feet assured.
“We have gathered here to give god
speed to this gallant man, who soon
goes to New York to assume the editor,
■hip of The New York American.”
Senator A. 8. Clay.
Senator A. S. Clay was the first
speaker of the evening to be Introduced
by Toaatmaster Clifford L. Ander. The
senator spoke of the great pleasure It
afforded him to be present on the oc
caalon to do honor to a great Georgian
and to bid him Ooodspeed to his broad,
er fields of labor.
“We are glad that hs has been pro'
moted to larger flelds," said he, "and
while we shall greatly miss him, yet
we find consolation In the knowledge
of the fact that New York will grow
greater, stronger, wiser nnd better by
the use of his brilllsnt Intellect, and
the whole country will learn the value of
good cltlsenshlp at the hands of this
gifted dtlxen of Georgia.
"The poeltlon Mr. Graves will occupy
In New York will give him an oppor
tunity to do Georgia nnd the entire
South more good than he has ever done
before, and Graves Ip equal to the task.
He has alwsya been on the right side
of every question which has ever been
presented to the people of hts state.
“And when has Graves ever failed?
As a lecturer he has won the applause
of great audiences wherever he has
gone. Senator Gorman told me that he
heard Graves once In Baltimore and
that It was the greatest speech he ever
heard.
'Graves loves the world and that's
why he has succeeded. Jealousy never
found a place In his heart; lie te al
ways lovable, always building up and
never tearing down, and no matter
where he goes, we shall always love
and honor him aa the son of Georgia.’
Bingham Tells Good 8torles.‘
Ralph Bingham, the Inimitable, de
lighted the audience with his witty
speech.
“To be serious Is not a part of my
profession, and as there are quite a
number of serloue speakers here to
night, I shall not attempt It.
"I want to say, however, that few
men are better known or abler on the
platform than John Temple Graves, or
no man the more perfect gentleman off
or on It. He has brought fame to the
South, greater fame than we perhaps
realise.”
He then told a rich story of a Bouth
Carolina Chautauqua, where Bryan.
Graves and hlinself were slated as at
tractions. A merry-go-round man
came and set up hie machine.
An old farmer came to the Chautau
qua and soma one met him.
‘‘Been to tho Chautauqua?" he asked
the farmer.
“I shore have. Rid on It six times,”
was tho reply.
He recited a poem, “The Old Cider
Mill.” with tine effect, and waa ac
corded prolonged applause. Mr. Bing
ham nnally arose In response and told
"( was traveling on the Rotten Belt
railroad In a rattle car—there are no
Pullmans on that line. I bought a ci
gar—a flve-cent cigar—and gave the
porter another one.."
The porter told lilm a story of a col
ored wedding. He gave an elaborate
description of the bride.
"But what about the groom?" he was
asked.
"He didn't show up." was tho reply.
Stab Wright's Sparkling 8pesch.
Hon. Seaborn Wright, of Romev pro
yoked much laughter when he said that
he gave hie consent to Colonel Graves'
departure because he believes he will
soon have Hearat nnd his great papers
on the “band wagon” of prohibition anil
do for the United States what he has
helped do for Georgia.
Mr. Wright told of his first meeting
with Mr, Graves, which was In Rome
several years ago.
“I was sitting on a curbstone eating
peanuts,” said hs, "and Mr. Graven
came by riding an old-faahloned blcy
cle—the first one I ever saw. He was
attired In a Prince Albert coat and a
high silk hat. He got ofr his wheel
and made me divide my peanuts and 1
have loved him from that day to this
and It Is with Intense pride that I coll
him my friend.
"Graves Is not only eloquent, but he
has that In him which makes a strong
man—high Ideals and devotion to the
Ight
•■•pi
HON. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.
The eyes of the people of my city
follow him to New York, for we claim
him aa our own son, and when he grows
tired of work, when his hair whitens and
his syes grow dim, wa want him to come
back home and the old friends of hi*
younger years will extend to him a wel
come band."
Dr. John E. White.
Dr. John E. White, pastor of the
Second Baptist church, began
speech with a beautiful and touching
tribute to Mr. Graves.
‘We are sharing In the Joy that
comes In the recognition of this die
tlngulshed guest. He Is hoist by his
own petard. Be lias made It possible
by his own ability to mount the tripod
on one of the greatest Journals In the
world.
We are glad that he lias announced
that he Is going to New York to work
for the South. Colonel Graves lias
aided In breaking down walls which
have prevented the Bouth from getting
all she Is entitled to. He Is going to
New York, not to defend the Bouth.
but to Interpret It. He Is not going
ARROW
C O LLARS
there to win his spurs, but to try
them."
James Thompson, New Orleans.
The address of James M. Thompsi
publisher of the New Orleans Item,
was. In part:
“The same providence that has In
trusted the Southern people with the
most fertile area of the republic, and
has blessed us with a prosperity above
that of any other people, has laid
problems upon us that demand the
ilghest Intellect and strongest moral
fiber of our leaders, for the necessary
enlightenment of our people.
“The guest of this evening Is a llvlni
refutation of the modern theory o
machine-made Journalism, of the Ide
that tho directing brain and creattv
force of our great journals Is forever
submerged under the eoulless activities
of a corporation.
'He Is a brilliant exception to the
tendency of many great newspapers to
stifle Individuality and check the battle
for principle which the newspaper
should always wage.
'AS I review the career of the bril
liant. eloquent and able man, your
guest tonight, who steps Into one of
the highest and proudest positions ever
attained In Journalism, 1 bear In mind
the fact that ho has gained It, not be
cause Ills voice Is sweet, not because
his phrases have tho polish of the dia
mond, not because lie has surpassed
other men In Intellect: but because, ns
he went along, lie lias had the oyes,
the heart and the understanding to see
and recognise God's own truth. And,
knowing, he has had the courage to
speak It In season, now, when It Is
popular; and out of season there In
the distant years when It was not pop
ular, and when It was often very dan
gerous, and when, perhaps, It was a
toss up for him between God’s own
truth and the full dinner pall.
"John Temple Graves has always
stood for the truth and the things that
were true, as It was given him to see
them, and that Is why Ills life and
career are an Inspiration to every one
of us little fellows who have sltten up
through the lean yeare of southern
newspaperdom and balanced our
courses between principles, the paste-
pot and the payroll.
"That Is the reason why I love and
admire John Temple Oraves."
Governor 8mlth's Tribute.
In Speaking of Mr. Graves' departure
Governor Hoke Smith said;
We come on this occasion with sor
row mingled with pride. I am sure that
I speak for Georgia and the South when
I say that we have pride that one of
Georgia's gifted sons has been ele
vated to this high position of usefulness
In Journalistic work. Graves will add
credit and brilliancy to this great pa
per that It never before possessed, nnd
we give him up without a doubt as to
the success that will bs his. He will
have no peer In editorial Journalism In
New York.
"Those of us who have held conver
sation with him have had him leave us
with a feeling of Inspiration and the
feeling that he has no unkind thought
and nothing In Ills heart but sympathy
and love for his fellow-men.
"It has been a pleasure to read his
editorials each afternoon, nnd wo. have
read them with n feeling that no line
or word could have Influence other than
purification for the purest woman In
the land. _
"There Is only one successor to Ora
dy on the lecture platform, and that
man Is Graves, and I now bring to
him nnd lay before him the love of the
whole people of Georgia and the South.
"We shall miss him, but we have the
consolation that he will not forget us
and that he will return, and his return
to us will be the occasion for even
greater welcome than this which Is
given him as he goes."
First Effort a Poem.
G. McLendon, chalrmnn of the
Georgia railroad commission, spoke
from his wheel chair feelingly of his
old classmate.
Many years ago the guest of honor
offered with trembling hands his flrst
manuscript for publication. It was «c.
cepted. but had It been rejected I doubt
If you would have had here tonight the
greatest editor In the country.
"Hts flrst offering was a poem,
field which, I think, he Immedlately
abandoned. The University of Ueorgla.
class of 1875, gave John Temple Graves
to Georgia us Georgia now gives him
to the continent."
A Fellow Editor's Tributt.
Hon. Clark Howell, editor of The
Constitution, said:
have labored side by side with
Graves in Atlanta tor many years and
no one knows him better than I. I know
him well and no man stands higher In
the estimation of his people than does
be.
"I attended the some university that

Mrs. Graves. It was one of the tradi

made love in more beautiful language
than John Temple Graves, and he has
never lost the power to charm with elo
quent language.
"Hearst could not have chosen a man

up his duties he leave* his heart as a

Editor Asheville Citizen.
J. H. Caine, editor of The Aahevllle
Citizen, said a peculiar bond of sym
pathy exists between North Carolina
and Georgia, and his state,' therefore,
felt a keen Interest In John Temple
Graves.
"It I* not only a great honor for an
editor to have the love and esteem of
his fellow-man, but It Is even greater
when he has the love and confidence
of hi* fellow-craftsmen. Such Is the
cose with Mr. Graves.

Graves for many, many years," said
he. "I remember well the marvelous
and matchless flow' of eloquence on the
occaelon of my flrst meeting with him,
when he was making a speech. The
American platform does not contain n
superior to Graves In the beauty of his
diction and In his matchless eloquence.
“1 am a great believer In the theory
that the atmosphere of one's surround
ings has much to do with his tempera
ment, nnd I don't know how Graves is
going to get along In the cold and
merciless atmosphere of New York.
“But be that as It may lie goes from
us with the hearty Godspeed, good will
and good chesr of the people who have
and loved him so long."
Florida Editor’s Praise,
Rufus A. Russell, of The Jacksonville
Metropolis, said he was delighted to be
present on thin occasion. He aald:
"My acquaintance with Mr. Graves
dates back twenty-live years, when he
came to Florida. We loved him, hon
ored and believed In him, but Georgia
came and took him away.
“I am not afraid of whut he Is going
to do. I know his capabilities and his
great heart. He goea to New York to
edit a great newspaper, and I know
hla marvelous pen will be used In the
right.
"In the power and strength of his
life he Is able to measure words with
the Achilles of public opinion In this
country.”
Colontl Walter Andrewe.
Colonel Walter P. Andrews said:
“John Temple Graves Is not the son
of any one state, nor section. His
name Is loved and cherished by every
soul In the whole South for with his
tongue and pen he has communed with
the people of every state.
"Although Mr. Graves has never held
a public office he le the best known und
best loved of any private citizen In the
country. He has been the evangel of
the national eplrlt and has done as
much or more than any other man to
bring together all sections of the coun

"He has never been moved by preju

vice president: Fowler Manning, gen

Is owned by Atlanta business men,
and the list of stockholders comprlses a
number of our most successful men in

"Krom Soap” was originated by Dr.
J. J. Krom. then house surgeon to the
government hospital at Augusta. Maine.
In 1*7G; and was adopted after a test
of about five years, by the hospital
authorities. The original formula has
been further perfected from time to
time by Dr. Krom, who has employed
the soap In his practice for the past
twenty-five years.
Dr. Krom Is one of Atlanta's best
know professional men. having for
many years enjoyed the distinction of
being one of the most eminent Skin
and Scalp specialists In the United
States.
Krom Soap has never before been
advertised, but by one patient telling
others of the soap, and recommending
It, and on account of the doctor':; repu
tation. It has established on Interna
tional demand for Itself. Orders fre

Atlanta has long been famous ns the
