Allen, publisher of The Fulton The Charleston Post and The Nashville American on the Enterprise, at East Point, Ca.. In which ho good-natur-1 subject of the recent Indictment by the federal govern- edly undertakes to correct what he regards as a historical Kentucky and Other State Pride. Our neighbor. The Constitution, Is pleased to Intimate that there Is a charm attaching to the name and tradi- tlona of Kentucky which scarcely belongs to any other Mate, and that no people ding aa fondly and dumbly aa Kentuckians to the suggestions and memories of their na tive commonwealth. Stripped of the comparison this Is a just and merited tribute to the Blue Oran State and to Us loyal people, it la a great atate and a great people, rich In heroic in, mories and rich in loyal sons and lovely daughters. But there are other states, with traditions as thrilling, with people as loving and with history aa eventful and compelling. We shall halt here to bring the question home to (Icorgis, which has held and bolds yet tho dominant I :.icc among Southern commonwealths and- hat won tho title of the Empire State of the South. There does not live on the globe a people who respond more tender ly and proudly In every land to the name and the claim of Georgia. ' , And there Is South Carolina, the Harry Percy of the Union, gallant, warm and chivalrous,'pulsing a deathless pride and devotion to the Palmetto 8tate and Its splendid lino of statesmen and Ita majestic sweep of .tradltlohs. The esprit du corps of tho South Csrolinan- was never hirpassed by Kentucky. And Virginia—the Old Dominion, Mother of Prasl- dents, and mother of Kentucky. The atate pride of Vir ginians has passed into a byword all over the world, and no history Is more glorious and Inspiring than her splon did annals. If you want to aee the warmth and the glory of Ken tucky's Home Coming week surpassed, just wait until "Ole Virginity” summons her children to a great reunion week around the Immortal memories of Jamestown and Hampton Roads. Then you will see the trooping of a mighty multitude with their hearts In their throats paying tribute to the old mother with a fervor and devotion which neither Kentucky, nor France, nor England, nor even Japan can outmesiure. , The fact is the love of homo Is universal, patriotism Ib local as well aa national. Every human bosom within which beat* the right sort of a human heart. Is thrilling with loyalty and love, epoken or unspoken, td the spot or the country that gave him hlrth. < The peculiar producti of Kentucky have made It fa mous and the breed of Ita enjoyments bring It more fre quently to the lips of men. Uut In the heart of Its people there Is no more of love, of prldef of loyalty to the ab stract state than that which pulses freely snd finely in tin- bosoms of Georgians, and Carollnans. and Virginians, and all the elder states. It Is not so much what our states have done, or dared, or suffered, but It Is In the fact that they gave us birth and growth, and stirred our hopes snd fears and atrug- tint and ambitions that we are always and everywhere ready, like brave men and patrlota, In peaco or war, to 1-1- 'Ige them our Uvea, our futures and our sacred honor. The question of the hour for the president Is whether V 'Mgreaaman Wadsworth keeps a scrap book or not Atlanta’s Crying Need. Interest In the suggestion that Atlanta should pur chase a number of sites for small parka la the congealed Mu ttons of the city and place them under the control of a 1 ermanent park commission, chartered by the legislature, 14 growing every day, and it la evident that the people will not be satisfied until something Is done along this lino. The plan, first suggested by Mr. J. G. Hossman, has been discussed very generally and thoroughly during the past few weeks snd so far as we have been tnformod It has literally met with no opposition. Our park system Is excellent aa far as it goes, but what we need Is s supplementary system of small breath ing spaces In the heart of the buster and more congested M-ctlons of the city. Here public conveniences, the lack of which entails no smait amount of Buffering, particularly to visitors, could be installed and we would add another feature to the city as a hospitable and Inviting place for the excursionists. It Is not only Important that steps should be taken (or establishing these parks, but It should bo done at nnco. The price of real estate Is advancing every day. Property which could have been purchased for park pur poses a few years ago la now held at almost prohibitive prices or else has already been occupied with permanent buildings. It Is no argument to’ say that the requited property would come high, for it la an all-sufficient an- tw, r to aay that It will be considerably higher In a few 'ears more, snd the time to set Is now, before all thaae i»> tibia breathing spaces have been occupied or else ad vance to such a figure that the city cannot afford to buy them. The Idea of creating a permanent park commission, chartered by the legislature, Is an excellent one. It would • .courage the donation of land and the endowment of parka by philanthropic cltlsens for them to feel that this land could never be alienated by the city, but on the <-ther band would be held In perpetuity by the commission for the use of the people, as Is the case with Boston's celebrated play ground, the Common. This good work should receive the active and bsarty cooperation of all good cttliena. The generations that are to come, after us, enjoying the provisions we have made for these lungs of a city, at the same time that wa are building our sky-acrapere. will rise up and call us blessed, and the time to begin to earn that benediction Is the liv ing present. The lock type of canal will suit us as well as any [her. so tong as the United States keeps this key. inaccuracy In our editorial of yesterday on the Repub lican party's birthday. In the course of this editorial we stated that while the first Republican convention was held In Philadelphia on June 17, 1556, "a state organization embodying Its principles and first assuming Its name was perfected In the state of Michigan.” Our correspondent asserts that "the state organiza tion In question was formed at Rlpon, Wls., in the year we mentioned, and not In Michigan. We beg to take Issue with our correspondent on this nicety of political history. The fact Is that as early as February 28, 1864, a mass meeting of Whigs. Democrats and Free Boilers did as semble In Rlpon, Wls., and resolved that if the Kansas- Nebraska bill should pass, they would “throw old party organizations to the winds and organise a new party-on the sole Issue of the non-extension of slavery." Three weeks later, local organization was effected and the name ‘‘Republican” was suggested as the one which the party should, and probably would, adopt. It la to be borne tn mind, however, that this was but a local organization and an expression of what would be done In the event of the passage of the Kansaa-Nebraska bill. It was not a state organization, and we cite as an authority Mr. George Henry'Haynes, the distinguished educator, publicist and author of the article on “The Re publican Party,” In the New International Encyclopedia, for the statement that “It was In Michigan, however, that the fusion of-the opponents of the extenlson of slavery first completed a state organisation and formally adopted the name, July 8, 1864. Our correspondent will see that we are entirely cor rect In our contention that “a atate organisation was first perfected In Michigan.” In a certain sense, the mass meeting at Rlpon, Wls., was the first important Impetus given to the organisation, and aa stated before, local or ganisation was perfected, but the finality and cohesion of a atate organisation was not'attained until It was perfect ed by the atate of Michigan. Incidentally It may be aald that on the day after the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, thirty members of congress held a meeting, In which they decided upon an organized opposition to the extension of slavery, and chose the word "Republican” for the name of the pro posed party. We are glad to bear from our correspondent on this Interesting question, however, as we are always open to fair criticism and dlacusslom Tbo man who kidnaped the little Muth boy should be searched further. Perhaps he also rsn away with Harry Lehr. Death of Governor Pattison. The death of Governor John M. Pattison, of the state of Ohio, occasions sincere regret throughout the country and In his untimely passing sway the Democratic party loses one of Its staunchest friends and aupporters. Ills selection to the office of chief executive of the Buckeye State was a tremendous testimony to his person al popularity, as he was the first Democrat to the elect ed governor of that state since 1890. He bad but re cently reached his fifty-ninth birthday, and his life had been a particularly useful and active one. He entered the Union army while yet a mere' boy. After graduating from Wesleyan university he was ad mitted to the bar In 1872, and tho following year was elected to the state legislature. lie was chosen for seat tn the atate senate tn 1880—the same year which’ aaw the Democratic candidate, James E. Campbell, elected governor—and was then elected to a seat In the fifty-second congress. He was a man of Irreproachable character and was warmly esteemed by all who knew him. Lieutenant Governor Andrew Llntner Harris will fill the term of office expiring two years hence. Rag time Is going too far.

Editor of This Georgian: What la "denatured alcohol” and when will the law making It tax free go Into effect? Yours truly T. F. B. The name "alcohol” la composed of two Arabic words, ”al kohl," meaning "the dtvli,” which goes to show that the Arabs knew a thing or two. "Denatured alcohol,” as the further name somewhat vaguely Indicates, means alcohol which has been put through a process by which it Is rendered poisonous, and hence unfit for use as a basis for Intoxicants or for use In patent medicines. The removal of the Internal tax on the making of It reduces the price of such denatured alcohol from $2.60 to 26 cents a gallon, and Is done In the Interest of the arts and sciences, particularly with a view to furnishing cheaper light, fuel and transportation. The advocates of the measure have predicted many marvelous things for the future under the new regime. It Is contended that Its use as a substitute for gasoline will reduce the cost of running automobiles to a very large extent; that It will supplant kerosene for lighting pur poses; that It will be used for heating our houses; that it will revolutionise the making of smokeless powder, etc. This Is but n casual list of the many thing* which It I* expected will be accomplished by the general use of denatured alcohol. A redaction from $2.64 to 26 cents a gallon la quite a slump and It Is easy to be seen that It will readily come Into vary general use for the purposes to which It Is adapted. The new law goes Into effect with the beginning of the new year. A gray wolf has been spreading consternation In the neighborhood of Wellesley college, Unas. Perhaps he waa trying to make bts way to the state oapltol.

It would be a good Idea for somebody to go over and win n baseball pennant from England before she gets any more familiar with the game. Wouldn't It be nice if we had about half a doxen small parks throughout the city during the present heated term? meat of an alleged Illegal combination of fertilizer facto ries In the state of Tennessee. We hare no desire to anticipate the verdict of the court, nor any Inclination to defend the companies if they are indeed operating under a combination In restraint of trade. But It strikes us that the government Is out gunning for jack rabbits when It would do well to concentrate all Its energies and resources on lions and tigers of the un holy menagerie. When the government succeeds In convicting some of the beef barona and sending them to the penitentiary; when It has brought Standard Oil and the rebating rail roads to their knees; when, in short, It has made a whole some example of some of the real trusts which are noto- riotialy and flagrantly guilty. It will be time enough to start out after the little fellows. If Indeed they are to be classed as trusts at all. The fertilizer people strenuously deny that they are In any conspiracy In restraint of trade, and certainly it Is true that they are confining their business operations to the territory right here In our midst There should be no wearying In well doing, but we would like to see some material and substantial results from the larger crusades before the government starts out after the little fellows who are hardly known to be In existence. MASONS OF ALABAMA A THREE DAYS' SESSION AT BIR. MINGHAM BEING LARGE LY ATTENDED. A part of the population Insists upon suspecting Senator Dupont ot a gun-powder plot to blow up our house of parliament. THE G. O. P. BIRTHDAY. To the Editor of The Georgian: In your very Interesting and Instruc tive editorial of yeaterdaY, entitled •The Republican Party's Birthday," you are guilty of an historical error, which I beg leave to correct. You say, "the fact Is that two years before the convention of 1156, a atate organiza tion embodying its principles and first assuming Ita name was perfected In the state of Michigan.” The state organi zation In question was formed at Itlpon. Wls., In the year you mention, and while on a visit to that city a few years ago, the house In which this histori cal event took place was pointed out to me. This same house was after ward occupied by George W. Peck, who tn the later 50's conducted a Republican paper at Rlpon. The young editor, who nfterward became the great humorist and governor of Wisconsin, was shown the error of his way, and changed his politics, becoming a staunch Democrat, which he has ever since remained. Oeorge W.' Peck afterward removed to Lacrosse, Wls., where he conduct ed what he himself has characterised as a "very weekly paper.” In the city made famous by Brick Pomeroy. Peck did not flourish financially, though he was honored with the appointment of chief of the fire department. Leaving Lacrosse, he went to Milwaukee, Where he “struck his gait,” and became fa mous as the editor of Peck's Sun. But I did not start out tn tell you about George W. Peck. I only wanted to tell you that the Republican party was torn In Wisconsin, not In the state of Michigan. A. A. ALLEN. Publisher Fulton Enterprise. East Point, Ga. CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER O Gossips About People, and Other Things By CHOLLY KNICKEIWOf KEIL O THE FERTILIZER BUSINESS. We publish this morning an editorial from The Evening Post of Charleston, S. C., on the fertilizer situation, which makes a clear presentation of tho con ditions which Induced the administra tion to attempt to make an example of a handful of Southern fertilizer man ufacturers. There Is not a millionaire In the list of those manufacturers. There has never been any complaint anywhere throughout the South that we have ever heard of, or that we have ever teen mention made of It, that the price of fertiliser 'wus not a fair and reasonable one. When It Is borne In mind, too, that the business In which the men are engaged has only a brief life, comparatively speaking, possibly not as much as twenty-five years, It Is well understood why the sympathy of the whole Southern country, apparently, has gone out to them since the admin istration has begun Its prosecution qf them on the technical ground of having formed a trust. The opinion of eminent lawyers Is that the Indictment will amount to nothing, but with this, of course, we are not concerned, as It Is a matter for the courts to decide. The political phase of the mafter, however, we are nterested In, nnd cannot help but ex press the opinion that It Is, so far aa we can see, not only a gross Injustice, this taking up an Industry which Is comparatively weak, holding up as a horrible example to the country a few Southern Democrats whose product Is used almost entirely In the South, and concerning the price of which there has never been complaint, but has the appearance also of a last effort to save the fall of the administration In Its fu tile efforts to Interfere with or convict the big trusts which everybody believes exist.—Nashville Banner. Trust Hunting In the South. Having made a Platonic demonstra tion In the case of the Northern Se curities Company, and given an Im munity bath In advance of prosecution to the beef packers, the Roosevelt ad ministration Is looking for new trusts to conquer. Carefully threading Its way through, the thickest of oppres sive eomblnsttona In front of Its doors. It seeks to the open field of the South and stalks the fertiliser Industry In this section. The oil trust, nnd the copper trust, and the sugar trust, and the tobacco trust, and the railroad trust, draw no fire from the mighty hunter's gun. Their habitat Is rather densely populated with friends of and contributors to the Grand Old Party which he represents and which has car ried him so far. There Is game and good hunting only tn the outlying wllda of the South, which never votes the Republican ticket and gives to the campaign fund only through the Insur ance companies unlawful contributions. Bo the department ot justice has made a raae of conspiracy and restraint of trade against fertilisers manufactories and selling agents throughout the South, and tho grand jury which Is meeting at Nashville ts to be asked to bring Indictments before the federal circuit court, and the department of justice will make a great effort to con vict the Individuals named as conspir ing to oppress the people. Just who are the complainants In this action Is not yet apparent. The farmers of the South ran scarcely be the suffering victims, for tht farmers are the richest people In these parts lust now. and there'seems to be no limit to their possibilities of wealth. Besides, the farmers are doing a right smart bit ot combination on their own account to the excellent purpose of forcing a high price for their cotton. A more effective or beneficial trust than that which has been organised by the cotton planters In the South has not yet appeared. Thera Is nothtifg concealed about Its operations, and It ts supported and encouraged by the tress and public opinion generally, and t has brought great enhancement of values to this prosperous section. The farmers who have perfected that or ganisation are not llkaly to question the right of the fertiliser men to the application of a like method to their business. The fertiliser men and the farmers seem to be of one mind and tn close sympathy tn their movement to raise the price of cotton, and the far- New York, June 19.—In the death of William Thompson, Banker and phil anthropist, the country loses a man who has done a great deal of good In a quiet, unostentatious way.

In order to escort an el derly woman relative aboard a train on the Georgia Central Railway an At lanta man bought a ticket to the first station out ot the city and thus passed the gsteman. The ticket bore on Its face the statement that It would be re deemed If not used. After hla relative had been eafely packed away In a good seat and tbs train had started on Its way the man went back to the ticket office and baked that his 18 cents be returned. This the company refused. He prompt' ly sued and was awarded II cents and costa. The company appealed and took the casd to the superior court. Here it lost again, and has now announced that It Intends to carry the case to the highest tribunal In order that the prin clple Involved may be definitely set tied. There Is justification for the general rule requiring that's ticket be shown before any one Is given access to the train, but It Is a rule which deserves a liberal Interpretation. There are cases where Ita strict enforcement provokes angry feallnga. The subject Is a sore one with the commuters who pass through the Grand Central station, where the gate ruls Is enforced In a most Irritating way by fits and starts. Commuters who have been traveling through the gates for twenty years on monthly tickets are held up and to all Intents and purposes searched several times a month tn the hope, apparently, that they have forgotten their tickets on this particular day and an extra fare can be gouged out of them. RegU' lar travellers well known to the gate' men are refused permission to put aged friends or relatives aboard the cars of another line, nr even on those of through train of their own road. And railroad managers often wonder why the public judges them so harshly.— New York Globe. ir people have generally contribu ted quite liberally to the fund of the Southern Cotton Association The In terests of the two Industries are mu tual, and doubtless the cotton growers ere quite ss well saxleged With the prices of fertilisers as the fertiliser manufacturers are with the price of cotton. It Is hardly likely, therefore, that the cases against the fertiliser companies are paid by the farmers, for It It should develop that there la an agreement among Individual manufac turers to hold the market to certain figures, snd conviction should follow such proof, the government would reach next after the cotton growera for Uh, TUI LOOKING BACKWARD AND FORWARD A.

CHILdImIIl TO BEJTBODUCED IT WILL BE A PROVISION OF COM PULSORY EDUCATION BILL. Special to The Georgian. Thomasvllle, Ga„ June 19.—A bill will be Introduced at the coming session of the general assembly calling for compulsory attendance of children at public school, snd Incorporated In the bill will be a measure preventing the employment of children under four teen years of age by any mercantile, manufacturing or Industrial Institution. The author of the bill -Is Hon. J. H. Merrill, and he will request Represen tative Fondren Mitchell, of Thomas county, and Senator S. S. Bennett, of Quitman, to Introduce It In the senate and houee, respectively. Mr. Merrill la a prominent member of the Thomasvllle bar. He has made a close study of the child labor and compulsory education questions.
