From these reports above given the following composite list of the “six h«t sellers" in Atlanta Is made up: 1 "The Best Man" (Macgrath). j' "The Weavers" (Parker). 3 "The Shuttle” (Burnett). 4. "The Fruit of the Tree" (Whar- t0 /"The younger Set" (Chambers) and •The Romance of an Old-Fashioned Gentleman" (F. H. Smith). 6, "The Daughter of Anderson Crow" (McCutcheon). The Georgian has published, once in August and once in September, reports from the book-sellers In Atlanta, and If any reader of this department recalls those reports of August 3 and Septem- I ber It, he will readily see hojv feeble and for such a short term Is the hold that the "best sellers" have on the reading public. In nelthor of the lists of the six best sellers, before published (the last one only about two months ago), does but one book appear, which |i listed today, namely: "The Younger Set,” and that book has evidently drop ped In popularity from second place In September to a division of the fifth place in November. The Georgian does not feel called upon to make any spe cial comments on tho list of tho ' Six Best Sellers," but as a general proposi tion the lists from the book stores all told do not speak very highly of the discriminating tastes of Atlanta. In those lists there Is no mention of those Illustration from "Nursery Rhymes from Mother Goose.” neat books, “Allce-for-Short," “Joseph Vance" (no better or more Interesting books have been written in forty years than these last two named books) or a lot more which could be mentioned and have* been discussed In The Georgian. But The Georgian desires no trouble on Its hands. It sfmpJy publishes above what Atlanta Is reading—Its duty ends there. Atlanta Is not different from any other 'of the larger cities In this mat ter. The majority prefer novels made up of the type known as ‘Fluffy Ruffles” and mushy offer ing. All hope Is not lost when we see The Fruit of the Tree,” “The Weav ers, rhe Shuttle,” “The Romance of *n oid-Fashloned Gentleman," “The Helpmate” and “The Younger Set” selling prominently, but Just look at lome of the others! “HYMNS OF THE MARSHES,” by Pl'ln-y Lanier. (Charles Scribner's 8on*.) Hon. Thomas E. Watson says In his "nthly “Jeffersonian" that the only thing which established permanently SWnry Lanier's reputation as a poet, the latter’s decision to live North. That had he continued to live South practically he would now be unknown, on. Mr. Lanier did go North the war, where he taught school nndir Colonel Richard Malcolm John- Jn. mar Baltimore. Mr. Lanier, no ^ ibt bad many struggles with the Hal end of the proposition. A ■ation or so after his deuth, the £ubll«hlng house of Charles Scribner’s Issues Lanier’s "Hymns of’ the >*/' u beautiful book, containing flunrise," •individuality," “Marsh ■k at Sunset” and “The Marshes of Glynn.’’ The book Is handsomely pro- illustrated from nature, by en- pnvf'd copies of special photographs Ji* Henry Troth. The publishers of book sent a photographer into the “bes to secure these special views. Sidney Lanier’s poems (now that he Is dead and can receive no material bene fit from his merited fame) are too well known to say more In this review than to. speak of the manner of book con taining them. “Hymns of the .Marshes” would make a beautiful gift book for the holidays. * Southern people are very slow to recognize genius in their own people. Whenever they do recognize or admit It, it is always Otter the death of the genius In question. This -lack of ap preciation may come from the fact that Southerners accept all the good In each other simply os a matter of fact—as Just what was expected—just what we are entitled to—and only wake up when the North approves of some great Southerner, which must be unsatisfac tory to the genius himself. Dr. Clark, of Mercer University, lias written a very Interesting document, published through J. W. Burke & Co., of Macon, Ga„ covering some letters and data about the life of Mr. Lanier In Macon. These little books were issued with a view of raising money (price 25 cents) with which to care for the old home of Sidney Lanier In Macon. The little book is very Interesting—the cause Is a worthy and good one. THE NOTE *0F DISCORD,” by Marlon Curtis. (Broadway Publishing Company.) Mrs. Marlon Curtis, of Chattanooga, Tenn., has evidently felt so sure that the outside world misun derstands the facts leading up to and surrounding the contempt case made against Sheriff Shipp, of Chattanooga, In the United States supreme court, that not being able to restrain herself further, ahe has written a book called “The Note of Discord," In which she says case—much discussed In the newspa pers. Mrs. Curtis thinly disguises Chat tanooga under the name of “Camden/" and around the real theme, namely, the professed vindication of Sheriff Shipp, she hns woven a light love story, and in the latter are the usual unreal Southerner and his friends. It seems a difficult undertaking, for some fe male novelists to draw a hero without making him. a pluperfect cad. They stand hlin up on a pedestal with all the virtues no man ever had or wanted or could use If he possessed. Such n. chap Is "Bruce Carleton," and also Eugene Freeman.” But the prln clpal part of the story centers around an account of the negro dis turbances. criminal assaults, ending in a lynching at Chattanooga, the pris oner, a negro, having been wrested from Sheriff Shipp by the mob of twenty-five masked men and bung, thli mob law being put Into effect while the United States Supreme court had control, technically, of the pris oner. This Is the only charge against Sheriff Shipp—namely, that a prisoner cl It Ion of affairs. If conditions In Chat- laced In his care by the United States hjpreme court was taken out of Jail rhlle under the jurisdiction of the sheriff. The case of contempt now against Sheriff Shipp In the United States Supreme court Is simply to prove that he did or did not do his duty In protecting the negro criminal. But Mrs. Curtis goes on to try to ex- plnln all which led up to the negro unrest In Chattanooga—how It was dangerous for a white woman In 1306 to be seen on the street at dusk, and If the facts were os Mrs. Cur tis gives them, then the two or three flays of the "Atlanta riot.’’ In Septem ber, 1306. were simply on exhibition of friendship between the two races, com pared to Chattanooga’s general con- tanooga are so bad, or were so terri ble ns Mrs. Curtis describes them, then something should be done up In Chat tanooga and that very quickly. In the meantime, the Chamber of Commerce in Chattanooga certainly would not gain many new comets to that city by a general distribution and reading of “The Note of Discord.” No doubt Mrs. Curtis felt so strongly on this negro question that she over drew It. No Southern town could or would submit to conditions shown In “The Note of Discord” for months, as stated—no, not for two days. Mrs. Curtis’ defense of Sheriff Shipp Is very effusive, but It Is not made very clear whether the author defends the sheriff, believing that he had any thing personally to do with the lynch ing of “Jackson.” and that in so doin s he, as a defender of woman's honor, was correct In not protecting the crim inal already convicted and sentenced to death (which sentence was held up by the supreme court of the United States), or whether the sheriff did really attempt to hold his prisoner. It doesn’t matter. From “The Note of Discord,” the reader can understand that Sheriff Shipp was and is about the beat ever, under any circumstances. It Is simply impossible to explain this condition; that is to say, it cannot be explained In books to outsiders. Houth- ern people know what Mrs. Curtis means, but to a Northerner her book would be only another exhibition of "Southern prejudice.” So what’s the use? If conditions in Chattanooga were or are as Mrs. Curtis describes them, then the title to her book Is very apt. Only Instead of “The Note of Discord” It should have been the "Octave of Discord;’ or, better still, “The Whole Keyboard of Discord." The book Is interesting. If the reader cares for such stories, but we Southern people are so weary of reading of dis agreeable facts connected with the ne gro, which cannot possibly do any good, n£w V< T. trU M the » tat ements are. that any further ’exposure” or muck-raking or the negro question Is not very ae- ceptable to us. Mrs. Curtis talks about repealing the fifteenth amendment to the constitution! That amendment will be repealed In the same year that the Bunker Hill monument and Grant’s °il Hudson are offered for highest bidder. So we need ?n°A. her ourselves » about that^-in this 20th century or the 21st either. “HOW TO INVEST YOUR 3AV- INGS, by Isaac F. Morcosson; (Hen ry Altemus Co.). “How to In vest Your Savings” Is a collect ion of interesting articles which have appeared in the Saturday Eve- nlng Post, by Mr. Isaac F. Marcosson. Mr. Marcosson Is connected with that paper as financial editor, and writes In teresting articles about Wall stree t gos sip and personal notes. The little book here discussed Is made up of fourteen chapters, dealing with stocks as In vestments; investments for women; savings banks Invest their funds; pitfalls for Inventors; different classes of bonds, etc. Mr. Marcosson hns assumed that the reader knows nothing whatever about Investments and has treated his sub ject matter from the ground up. and at the present time. If one Is able to be a borrower at the banks and hns money to loan or invest, "How to In vest Your Savings" Is a verv Instruct ive book. Especially so now In our "period of so-called stringency" with money. Of course.

Ther® are few people who can discuss so Interesting ly life In the open «h does Btewart Edward White. In his* new book, “Camp and Trail," Mr. White writes a practical experience book for those who love outdoor life. The au thor tells Just what Is necessary for omfort and convenience In the camp and on the trail.. The book will also be found Interest ing to readers who never expect to take the trail to camps In the far-off woods, for In It Mr. White writes with a charm of the open, unexcelled at this time. In twelve chapters Mr. White dis cusses the wilderness traveler; com mon sense In the wilderness; personal equipment; camp and cook outfit, horse outfits, camp and grub cookery, and all sorts of things that will interest a lover of the open life. Mr. White knows whereof he writes, for he Is an authority on the open life, Every Family Medicine Shelf approved by no less a personage than President Roosevelt. “Camp and Trail’’ Is handsomely produced by the Outing Press, who get out such a lot of attractive looking books. “THE MAKING OF A SUCCESS FUL WIFE,” by Casper S. Yost. (O. W. Dillingham Company.) The Geor gian discussed some time ago n book called “The Making of a Successful Husband.” Now It Is called upon to mention (It fears to discuss) “The Making of a Successful Wife.” Both books are by Mr. Casper S. Yost the difficult task of making a success ful husband, old John Sneed wrote a lot of letters to his son. John, Jr., show ing unto him tho way he should go to a happily married life. In “The Making of a Successful Wife,” old John Sneed writes to his daughter, ‘‘my dear little girl.” who was on the point of taklm a few risks herself, the same as d!< John Sneed, Jr. The book Is simply 1 collection of letters from the father to his daughter, giving good advice. It Is witty and entertaining to the reader (as he Is not being written to). Old John discusses “mending family Jars,” man’s faults and fallings, keeping up with the social procession, the first baby and raising a family. It Is a bright lit tle book. To a partial observer It docs seem ab If there Is a lot of sweetness wasted on the desert air In telling any lovely girl how to be a successful wife. As soon as she becomes one she knows how. She may not become one always, but It Is not because she does not know how. Women know lots more about everything than men who write books about them give them credit for. But for all of that this little book Is very bright and the "old man" might take it home with him, with the groceries, some night when. In his opinion, things might be improved and brightened up around the fireside. “THE MAXIMT’OF METHUSE LAH,” by Gelett Burgess. (Fred A. Stokes Company.) Mr. Gelett Burgess Is at his best, which Is very good in deed, when he tries to be funny. For he succeeds In this. He doesn’t al ways please us in more serious moods. In his "Maxims of Methuselah" Mr. Bur gess is very witty. The volume Is made up of advice given by the pa triarch In his nine hundred and ninety- sixth year to his grandson. Shem, at the latter's coining of age. These max ims, Mr. Burgess profoundly informs his readers, were found graven on twenty slate tablets dug up on Mr. Burgess' estate In France. No doubt Mr. Burgess brought that fact in Sim ply to let us know he has un estate In France. Old Methuselah, from his maxims, certainly understood women first rate, and he tells Shem all about It, giving the basis for his reasoning and conclusions. In the preface to the book Mr. Burgess said that un angel came to Methuselah when he was about 500 years old and told him that ho must desist from living In and under trees; that he must build hte!?!! a house and be "cultivated.” Old Me thuselah wanted to know of the angel how much longer would he live on earth. Some 600 years longer, the un gel told him. ”Oh. well, then,” said Methuselah, “I hardly think it's worth while for mo to bother myself Just for that little while.” The book of maxims is made up of twenty-one talks, all very diverting. The publishers hnve sent the book forth In a very unique binding and print. It Is a good book for u bad quarter of an hour, and while that author* are writing against time, but against space, which Is very hard on readers. But most books seem to have this same failing, and “Th at Pine Court” surely should not be held up for doing what all other books do, which Is to drag seriously at limes. With this exception any reader will enjoy “The Affair at Pine Court/* “LITTLE JOURNEYS TO THE HOMES OF REFORMERS—OLIVER CROMWELL,”, by Elbert Hubbard. (The Roycrofters.) To get a concise bird’s-eye view of great men, there Is nothing like the monthly publication of the Roycrofters, called “Little Jour neys.” Mr. Elbert Hubbard Is the au- thor* of these charming books. That should be sufficient to explain that they give the reader a clear-cut idea as to how these great men appeared In their dally walks of life. Few writers excel Mr. Hubbard In his dissection and delineation of character. Whatever one may think of Mr. Hubbard person ally, a reader will undoubtedly miss a great deni that Is Instructive, enter taining and wholesome by not reading hi® “Little Journeys.” .The one men tioned here Is a dissertation on Oliver Cromwell, with a selection from Charles Dickens on “The Reign of Charles the Second/’ A reader can lenrn more of the lives of these two people discussed, namely, Oliver Cromwell and Charles II, than he could And In many volumes of twon. ty times more pages. MI8S T. L. TUCKER’S REVIEW OF THE IVORY GATE,” by Armlstead r. Gordon. (Neale Publishing Com pany.) Miss T. L. Tucker, a friend of Mr. Armlstead C. Gordon and of this paper, hns written for The Georgian the following review of Mr. Gordon' latest book of poems, “The Ivory Gate:’’ “The Ivory Gate" Is the exquisite ti tie of a small volume of verse by Ar- mlstoad C. Gordon, the scholarly and gifted Virginian, well known to the world of letters by his "Gift of the Morning Star/’ “Befo’ the- War” (col laborated with Thomas Nelson Page) and a number of other excellent poems. “The Ivory Gate" contains with hith erto unpublished poems a number gath ered from the publications in which they originally appeared: Scribner’s, The Continent. The Transcript, and other periodicals, and adds new luster to the fame of the writer and pout. A broad culture, refinement and dig nity. added to cleverness and a won derful versatility, lend charm and fin ish inexpressibly delightful, and one comes to the end of the little book all too soon, with a sigh that there Is not more of It, and involuntarily turns back to peruse again “Long Ago," “A Tree In Tevlotdale," “Tides” and "Guinovere to Lancelot." A more Im passioned, more exquisitely turned bit than this last will scarce be found in modern poesy: "Gone is my lord, the king; and thou, oh Lover! Where art thou, Lancelot? Could I see thy face And feel thy Up touch ns In days now over This dull, forsaken place. Would be ns Camelot in time of tour ney. When thou ns Untght for me didst «yo enlist; Ah, Lancelot, love, there lies a weary Journey From thee to me, I’ll wist.” Mr. Gordon's scholarly habit lends him unconsciously Into the use of old English, which gives a most delicious touch to his more serious verse, lighter vein he is equally delightful os In “Parson Murray,” “Lip Service'* and "Ah, Si Jeunesse Savalt." A sur prising versatility is one of the most striking’ characteristics, not alone of this collection, but of the author In nil his published works. One familiar with the poems of Commemoration, experiences a positive shock of pleas; ure Jn rending "Her Rival" or “Ca price," an gratifying It Is to find so va ried gifts In such perfection. “The Ivory Gate" Is u notable con tributlon to American verse—I may say, to English verse—since Mr. Gor don Is descended from an old and long line of English ancestry, and as author Is known and appreciated In England and Scotland.
