MAYS BALL (Arthur Pendennis, Jr.) “REMINISCENCES OF FAMOUS GEORGIANS.” By Lucian Lamar Knight. (The Franklin-Turner Co.) It Is Indeed a great pleasure to tell of the delightful Impression made by ■areful reading of Mr. Lucian Lamar Knight’s superior book. “Reminiscences f Famous Georgians.” It Is all histo ry, full of facts and dates, but the at tractive form Into which Mr. Knight has put his work makes It read like a mianee. No Southerner can read his book without a thrill of sectional pride. To Georgians the Interesting accounts f Alexander H. Stephens, Robert Toombs, the Lamars, the Cobbs, Ben jamin H, Hill, John B. Gordon,, the Lumpkins, the Colquitts, Henry# W. Grady, the Pierces, the Jacksons, Bill Arp and Uncle Remus, "Just make you rant to throw up your hat and holler,” Mr. Jqmeg Whitcomb Riley would ►ay. The book. Which. Is Volume I, Is 'di vided Into two parts. Thfe first part reals with the .families named above «md others; the second part (an ap pendix) covering selections from ora tions. contributions 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 dls- ussed. Under the chapter head of Georgia's Modern Prometheus,” Mr. Knight gives an account of Governor .lames Jackson, who was chief execu tive of Georgia In 1796. There Is noth ing in romance superior to the record that Mr. Knight gives of Governor Jackson’s experiences. Governor Jack- ton, who had been In the state legis lature. was afterwards sent to the United States senate and while there *ith four years of his senatorial term •till before him, he resigned to return ' > Georgia to enter the state legislature • fight the notorious Yaxoo land fraud, hlch he, with other strong men of his time, successfully wiped from the Bute’s laws. He was afterwards re- ttimed to the United States senate In nit Ion of his great worth. The ycount is most interesting which Mr. ATTRACTIVE GIFT BOOKS In answer to n personal request from n friend for e choice selection of some of the host Action, any one of which books liy Its appearance ns a gift at Christ inas time will suggest from the giver a subtle Intimation and recognition of the cul tivated appreciation of the recipient, The Georgian's reviewer drew up the list given below.

Knight given of tlie burning of the Yazoo fraud bills In the plaza of tho apitol building at Louisville, by ihc use of a sun glasn to aecurc tho fire from heaven to wipe out the disgrace "hlch had been placed upon the state. In discussing the often quoted famous ■Ply of Senator L. Q. C. Lamar to Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, Mr. Knight gives a dramatic account of "hat led up to tho biting sarcastic finale of Senator Lamar’s famous *l>ecoh. The discussion grew out of a meas ure which was then pending In con gress to extend the act granting pen nons to the soldiers of the War of 1812, 9,1 »s to make the act apply to the vet- •Jkna of the War with Mexico and In 'lew id the fact that. Mr. Davis had •men an officer of some note In the last named unpleasantness, a proviso was ' Kerr-,] to the bill excluding Mr. Jef- ■erson Davis from the benefits of this proposed legislation. The terrillc rejoinder from Mr. La mar naturally closed tho discussion. Mr. Knight's book Is filled With thrill, mg descriptions of the times and peo- Ne 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 compiled by 'he author during his enforced stay, 1 " account of health, on Catalina Island at Avalon, near Los Angeles, flat.

Los Angeles, Cal, »eI HE CONGO AND COASTS OF AFRICA.” By Richard Harding Davis. " harles Scribner’s Sons.) Sir. Davis fevompanled by Mrs. Davis took a trip att year to the west coast of Africa to investigate the condition of the pao- f'* "nd of things generally. The re- fj' 1 °f his explorations la aet forth In n |s book recently Issued called "The «ngo and Coasts of Africa." Any- ming that Mr. Davis writes la reada ble and thin new book Is not an excep- m>n to the rule. Mr. Davis gives a full fveount of everything he saw or even heard about. He states that while he “la not see any atrocities In the Con- be heard of them from reliable lources. -.And Mr. Davis finds King Leopold II tauty on all counts. .. ‘ oe book Is very interesting ss a ,' n ‘ rl butlon to travel literature: wheth- r the reader agrees with Mr. Davis or not in his findings, the time will bo well spent In reading his book. While on this subject It might well be said that Mr. Henry A. Savage Landor, In Ills book of travel, "Across Widest Africa." utterly refutes the charge of atrocity against Leopold and his Belgian com panv. Mr. Landor says that the vll lages In the Congo are "neat, .and nourishing as all the villages were," which Mr. Davis contradicts, and the numerous population on the Belgian side of the Congo river, while there were but fow natives who remained on the French side of the river, entirely discredits any charge of cruelty by tho Belgians against the natives In the Congo. So It Is, "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 Girl." The contents of the book are quite Interest. Ing and the publishers have produced It handsomely, making of It a genuine holiday creation. The story Is light reading. In that It deals with a tovely Southern girl of 18 years of age, an orphan, who lived with her maiden aunt, a sister of her dead father—Miss India Wayne, The father of HpUj* tad died quite poor, leaving all of his prop erty Involved with mortgages, etc., so that the home place. Wayne wood. In Florida, was really owned by a New Yorker. This New Yorker, broken In health. Is sent by his physician to Flor ida. Robert Wlnthrop recalls. Inciden tally, that he owns a place In Florida, so he goes there to recuperate. Hot y Is very pretty and lovable. Miss India "hates Yankees.” but Robert Wlnthrop. ns the reader can guess, overcomes in lime her dislike for the Northeroer, In particular If not In general. So, too. tho reader can see the further answer, which Is 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 lovers, but In time—well, readers know what happened In time between a Northern man and a Southern girl—In novels. Such Is the basis for many novels. It Is not a bad one for our now united coun- try Kvery little contribution to the good feeling between th# sections helps, and forty years Is a mighty long time. In speaking of Belasco’s new play In New York called "The Warrens of Vlr- glnU," In Which Mias Charlotte Walk er, a Galveston. Texas, girt la winning deserved praise from the critlca, one dramatic critic said that all Plays of the Civil war (he might have added iJI books) plotted on the uniting or the ••Rlue and the Gray, were based on the love beVween™nstlnetlve enemies, namely, the Southern girl and the Fed eral officer, and the love affairs oc curring Just after or during hoiltllltlee. too. But the critic Justly jremariuu love affairs? "Holly—The Romance of a Southern Girl," Is a mott 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.) There 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. Readers of The Georgian are familiar with Mr. Mason’s previous books, "Four Feath ers" qpd "Running Water." "The Broken Road" Is ns good. If not batter, than anything that Mr. Mason has yet written. The story 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 his father and grandfather. The other. "Bhere All." the heir apparent of the Khan of Chlltlstan, a subsidiary sov ereign In Indio. The theme of the story Is the criminal habit of English vice roys In India of educating In the past its 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. dally 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 the ruling race and they discov er that no matter what bravery a na tive may exhibit In battle for India or England, he can never receive the Victoria Cross. Shere All. prince, was sent to Eton and Oxford, at which place his Intimate friend wan Richard Lln worth. In addition to Its great power ss a dramatic novel, the teaching Is undeniably there that blood and water will not mix. Shere 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 accuatomad to In London. Then the pendulum awlnga back thru a rail of the wild and Bhere All, tom as a young-chap from his own people, returns to India a hater of everything English. This social Inferiority la brought home clearly to Sbero All when Vlolot Oliver, whom both Richard Lln- vioioi uiow, — worth and Shere All love, refuses to marry the latter, on account of his color. Shere All then undertakes a fu tile rebellion, la cruahed and England's unjust practice of educating the In dian princes away from thalr own peo ple is dramatically shown. Violet Oli ver, a moat attractive woman to read about, trifles with both Llnworth and Shere All. She receives her Just dues In this book, and If we had nothing •lee to thank Mr. Mason for, we are author In that he allows his characters to do those very thlnge and to find their levels as do people In real life. In a typical "best seller" Richard Llnworth would have married Violet Oliver; never In real life, nor under the control of euch a gifted novelist as Mr. Mason Is. Mr, Mason no doubt has facts to sustain his novellzatlon of Indian themes and problems. Of the social position which Is gladly given the ne gro princes In London, ono Atlanta young man can speak feelingly. Some years ago in the Empire Music Hall In London two Atlanta young fellows wit nessed the "show." Soon after gaining their seats they noticed Immediately In front of them a beautiful woman, be decked with Jewels and finery, sitting next to one of the blackest negroes ghat even these Atlanta chaps had. ever seen. These young fellows hhd not been accustomed to sitting behind a full- blooded negro In the orchestra chairs of a play house, but possibly their re marks upon the subject were at least 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 these two chaps knew they were being kindly but firmly pre sented with the money paid for their seats and ejected from the Empire Mu. sic Hall. The explanation was that the negro under discussion was an Indian prince, n guest of the Imperial govern ment, who was attending the play with Ills white sweetheart. "THE B0Y8 0F~THE OLD GLEE CLUB,” by James Whitcomb Rllay, (Bobbe-Merrlll Company.) Here Is an other delightful offering, beautifully gotten up for Christmas time, In the ■hape of a new poem by James Whit comb Riley. Wo can not have too many poetic offerings from Mr. Riley. He touches us all. This new poem, called "The Boys of the Old Glee Club,' Is an account In pleasing rhyme of the Its members who luve PLAN OF GEORGIAN’S POPULAR VOTING CONTEST , The Georgian's popular rollng context Is open to nil respectable women lu Georgia between the yenra of IS nod 50.

Mr. Riley dlscussea 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: nr.vhodv believe that there were else to thank Mr. Mason ror, we are re* aa tnany as ten such surely under obligations to him as an saying: ‘An’ Bob Geiger—now lives down At Atlanty—but this town got Bob’# heart—a permanent An* time-honored reildent.” This - fa our good fellow-dtlaen, W.

Of course, he thinks about ”Jn- Jlany” occasionally, as a good place to come from, but he has, too, his opin ions os to the best place to live In. “The Boys of the Old Gleo Club' simply another Inimitable production of the lovable Mr. Riley. The publisher! have done their share In producing a most attractively Illustrated' holiday publication. CUPID, THE COW-PUNCH,” by Eleanor Gates. (The McClure Com pany'.) It •seems almost too 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 so from a man's viewpoint, that one would not have been surprised to have at least noted a male collaborator. Not so, however, and this note above Is affh- ply to call underscored attention to the excellent work. The story "happens” In our newest state. “Oklahomy.” Alec Lloyd, cow boy. Is pretty obstreperous In his Inter ference with other people's love af fairs. Which aforesaid Interference earns him the name of “Cupid.” He In sists upon having a hand or two In other people's never-dtd-run-smooth- ness until he Interferes once too often. Then he Is informed by old man Be wail that when Cupid’s time cornea- well he had better look out—that’s all. Cupid mlsrht be n. groat manlmilator of other people’s love matters, but of hls own—well. Just wait—that was all that was intimated. And sure enough, Cu- R d’s time did come, and It fell on him ce the proverbial thousand-of-brlck. For It was Made Bewail, daughter of old man Bewail, the prototype of Miss Cassandra. Well. Cupid had a pretty hard time of It. He was elected by bal lot the homeliest man In “Briggs City,” and, worse than that—this election happened at the very time that Made Bewail was selected as the “prettiest girl.” But this seemed to help Cupid a little. He had a time of It, tho. and this most Interesting human book Is a pleasing account of Cupid’s hard rid ing of the trail of love.
