MAYS BALL (Arthur Pendennls, Jr.) "REMINISCENCES OF FAMOUS GEORGIANS.” By Lucian Lamar Knight, (The Franklin-Turner Co.) It I* Indeed n great pleasure to tell of the delightful Impression made by a careful rending of Mr. Lucian Lamar Knight's superior book. "Reminiscences of Famous Georgians." It Is all histo ry, full of facts and dates, hut the at-, tractive form Into which Mr. Knight has put his work makes it read like a I romance. No Southerner can read his book without a thrill of sectional pride. To Georgians the Interesting necounts j of Alexander H. Stephens, Robert Toombs, the Lamars, the Cobbs, Ben jamin H. Hill, John B. Gordon., the Lumpkins, the Colquitt*. Henry W, Grady, the Pierces, the Jacksons, Bill Arp and Uncle Remus, "Just mako you want to throw up your hat and holler." as Mr. James Whitcomb Riley would say. ' ■The book, which Is Volume I, Is di vided Into two parts. The first part deals with the families named above and others; the second part (ftn ap- IH-ndlx) covering selections Irom ora tions, contribution* to the press, etc., by famous Georgians, The whole book holds the Interest right from the beginning to the end. The Introduction Is by Mr, Joel Chan dler Harris. President Roosevelt's Georgia ancestors are thoroughly dis cussed, Undor the chapter head of “Georgia's Modern Prometheus.'' Mr. Knight give* an account of Governor Jntnea Jackson, who was chief execu tive of Georgia In 1“>6. There Is noth- I lng in romance superior to the record that Mr. Knight gives of Governor Jockson’s experiences. Governor Jack- son, who hnd been In the stato login lature. was afterwards sent to the United States senate and while there with four year* of his senatorial term atlll before him, he resigned to return to Georgia to enter the state legislature to fight the notorious Yazoo land fruud, which he, with other strong men of hi* lime, successfully wiped from the state's laws. He was afterwards re turned to the Unltod States senate In recognition of his great worth. The account la most Interesting which Mr. Knight gives of the burning of the Yazoo fraud bills In the plaza of the old capitol building nt Louisville, by the uso of a sun glass to secure the fire from henvon to wipe out the disgrace which had been placed upon the state. In discussing the often quoted famous icply of Senator L. Q. C.

Mr. Knight gives a dramatic account of what led up to the biting sarcastic finale of Senator Lamar's famous speech. The discussion grew out of a meas ure which was then pending In con gress to extend tho act granting pen sions to the soldlera of the Wnr of 1SI2, s.> as to moke the act apply to the vet- cinns of the War with Mexico and In view of the fact that Mr. Davis hod been an officer of some note In the last namod unpleoiantneas, a proviso was offered to the bill excluding Mr. J«>- feraon Davis from the benefits of this proposed legislation. The terrific rejoinder from Mr. La mar naturally closed the discussion. Mr. Knight's book Is fllled with thrill, lng descriptions of the times and peo. pie of Georgia. It Is a gem of Its kind and unlike the usual historical publi cations. It reads like a novel. -This first volume was written and complied by the author during hi* enforced stay, rn account of health, on Catalina Island at Avalon, near Los Angeles, Cal. It Is a great pleasure, and In truth a duty of The Georgian to cal! the attention of Its reader* to this most estimable hook.

THE CONGO AND COASTS OF AFRICA.” By Richard Harding Davis. (Charles Scribner** Bone.) Mr. Davis iccomponled by Mrs. Davis took a trip net year to the west coast of Africa to nvestlgate the condition of the peo- >le and of things generally. The re- ult of his explorations Is set forth in its book recently Issued called "The *ongo and Coasts of Africa. Any* lifng that Mr. Davis writes Is reada- le and this new book Is not an excjp* ion to the rule. Mr. Davis gives a full ?eount of everything he saw or even 'ard about. He states that while he d not see any atrocities In the Con* he heard of them from reliable For Illustrated, decorative, llluiuinntlve holiday books there are many. Especially not able are: •‘Holly’* (Darliour). ••First Nantucket Ten Party.” •’Harrison Fisher Book.” “The Story of Sir ladticelet” (Pyle). "A Long Tim** Ago" (A. M.

In a typical "best seller" Richard Llnworth would have married Violet Oliver: never In real life, nor under the control of such a gifted novelist as Mr. Ataeon Is. Mr. Mason no doubt has facts to sustain his novellzatlon of Indian themes and problems.

Savage Landor, In his book of travel, "Across Widest Africa,” utterly refutes the charge of atrocity against Leopold and 'hla Belgian com pany. Mr. Landor saj's that the vil lages in th, Congo are "neat, and nourishing as all the villages were,' which Mr. Davis contradicts, and the numerous population on the Belgian sldd of the Congo river, while there were but few natives who remained on the French side of the river, entirely discredits nny charge of cruelty by tho Belgians against the natlvea In the ('.men Rh if l< “fair* voiip choice." And Mr. Davis find* King Leopold II Illy on nil counts. The book Is very Interesting a* a ntribullontoirnvcl literature: wheth- tho reader agrees with Mr, Davis or In Congo. So It ,1s, "take your choice.' | HOLLY—THE~ROMANCE OF A SOUTHERN GIRL,” by Ralph Henry Barbour. (J. B. Llpplncott Company.) An unusually attractive holiday book Is Mr. Barbour’s latest story,'"Holly— The Romance of a Southern Clrl." The contents of the book are quite Interest ing nnd tho publishers have produced It handsomely, making of It a genuine holiday creation. The ttory It light reading, In that It deals with a lovely “outhern girl of IS years of age, an orphan, who lived with her maiden aunt, a slater of her dead father—Mils India Wayne. The father of Holly had died quite poor. leaving all of his prop erty Involved with mortgages, etc., so that the home place, Waynewood, la Florida, was really owned by a New Yorker. This New Yorker, broken In health. Is sent by hla physician to Flor- Ida. Hobert Wlnthrop recall*, tnclden tally, that he own* a place in Florida so he goes there to recuperate. Hoi y Is very pretty and lovable. Mis* India "hates Yankees," but Robert Wlnthrop, ns the reader can guess, ovsreome* In time her dislike for the Northerner, In particular If not In general. So. too, the reader can see the further answer, which I* that Robert Wlnthrop loved Holly and Holly loved Wlnthrop. There was another chap In the love game tho —"Cousin Julian”—and he gave as much trouble as he could to the lover*, but In time—well, readers know what happened In time between a Northern man and a Southern girl—In novel*. Such Is the basis for many novels, it Is not a bad one for our now united coun try. Every little contribution to the good feeling between the sections help*, and fforty years Is a mighty long time. In speaking of Belasco's new play In Vew York called "The Warren* of % lr- glnla," In which Ml.* Chartott* Walk- er, a Galveston, Texas, girt, I* winning deserved praise from the critics, one dramatic critic said that all plays of theCIvl! war the might have added all books) plotted on tho uniting of the "Blue and the Gray.” were based on the lov# between Instinctive enemies, namely, the Southern girl and the Fed. feral officer, and the love affalra oc curring Ju3t after or during hotltlllUe*. Rut the critic Justly remarks: love affairs?” "Holly—The Romance of a Southern GIrl.” Is a most agreeable light holiday offering, one that The Georgian takes pleasure In recommending to Its read ers. “THE BROKEN ROAD," by A. E. W. Mason. (Charles Scribner's Sons.) Ther# have not been written recently many novels Which will excel In any way this last story. "The Broken Road," by Mr. A. E. W. Mason. Renders of The Georgian are familiar with Mr. Mason's previous books, "Four Feath ers" and “Running Water." "The Broken Rood" Is aa good. If not better, than anything that Mr. Maeon has yet written. . The atory deals with the friendship first of two young men; one, an Eng lishman, Richard Llnworth. who had Inherited the love for India and its up building, principally the construction of a road. thro India, left unfinished by hla father and grandfather. The other, "Bhere All,” the heir apparent of the Khan, of Chlltlstsn, a subsidiary sov ereign In India. The theme of tho story Is the criminal habit, of English vice roys In India of educating In the past It* native princes In England, and that these princes sent to England, coddled by society In London, given all of the social equality In England, they return to India to discover that they arc of an entirely different race from Eng lish men and women. The attentions so cially having been welcomed In Eng land, upon their return to India It was naturally startling to be told to marry one of their own people. They are ex cluded from all real social Intercourse with th* ruling race and tQey dlscov er that no matter what bravery a na five may exhibit In battle for India or England, he can never receive the Victoria Cross. Bhere All, prince, was sent to Eton and Oxford, at which place his InJImate friend was Richard Lln worth. In addition to Its great power as a dramatic novel, the teaching Is undeniably there that blood and water will not mix. Bhere All returns to In dia at the call of the viceroy to accept a lower social position even as an In dian prince than that to which the English men, and women especially, had made him acoustomed to In London. Then the pendulum swings back thru a call of the wild and Bhere AIL torn aa a young chap from hla own people, return* to India a hater of evarythtng English. This social Inferiority I* brought home clearly to Bhere All when Violet Oliver, whom both Richard Lln worth and Shere All love, refuaea to marry the latter, on account of hie color. Bhere All then undertaken a fu tile rebellion, le crushed nnd England's unjust practice of educating the In dian princes away from their own peo. pie I* dramatically shown "" , feelingly. years ago in the Empire Music Hall In London two Atlanta young fellows wit. neaaed the "show." Soon after gaining their seats they noticed immediately In front of them a beautiful woman, be decked with Jewel* and finery, silting next to one Of the blackest negroes that even these Atlnnta chaps had over seen. These youhg fellows had not been accustomed to sitting behind a full- blooded negro In the orchestra chair* of a play house, but possibly their re marks upon the subject were at lesst III timed and Injudicious. At any rate, opinions were not quietly expressed on the subject of a beautiful white woman sitting next to a negro In a theater, and the first thing theso two chaps khew they were being kindly but tlrmly pre sented with the money paid fur their seats and ejected from the Empire Mu. sic Hall. The explanation was that the negro under discussion was an Indian prince, a guest of the Imperial govern ment, who waff attending the play with Ills white sweetheart. “THE BOYS OF~THE OLD GLEE CLUB," by Jumes Whitcomb Riley. (Bobba-Merrllt Company.) Here Is an other delightful offering, beautifully gotten up for Christmas time. In the shape of a new poem by James Whit comb Riley, Wc can not have too many poetic offerings from Mr. Riley. He touches us all. This new poem, called “The Boys of th* Old Glee Club,” Is an account In pleaslnk rhyme of the old glee club and Its members who have left home; some gone to the other shore. Mr. Riley discusses delightfully and pertinently the members of the old glee club and he brings In thereby a widely esteemed and now whole-souled Atlantan. Mr. Riley sings of how the old mem. bers separated, some died, a great many went to other sections of the country, and ao on, and then says: lag lilnnk printed lit The Georgian dad although to do so Is more regular.

Of course, he thinks about "In- Jlany" occasionally, as a good place to come from, but he has, too, his opln Ions os to the heat place to live In. "The Boys of the Old Glee Club" li simply another Inimitable production of the lovable Mr. Riley. The publishers have done their share In producing*!) most attractively Illustrated holiday publication. “GUPID, THE COW-PUNCH,” by Eleanor Gates. (The McClure Com pany.) It seem* almost loo good to be true, after reading "Cupid. The Cow- Punch," to turn back and see on the ti tle page that it was written by a wom an. Not that women can not write about many things, and of those many things write delightfully, but the theme running thru this story by Eleanor Gates Is so masculine, written ao from a man's viewpoint, that one would not havo been surprised to have at least noted a male collaborator. Not ao, however, and thia note above ta stm ply to call ■ underscored attention to the excellent work. The story "happens" In our newest State. "Oklahomy."

Cupid was all right In this last re mark. as well as other things. He won out after many trials and tribulations, and he certainly .fought for and de served hi* sweetheart. It Is a very charming * book. It will kill many a monotonous few minutes of a tiresome day.
