THE GEORGIAN COMES TO
GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE
"It Is Indsed a desirable thing to be wall de
scended, but the glory belongs to our ancestors."
—Plutarch.
Saturday Evening.
The bloody eclipse of a brilliant life, In which one
upon whom Fortune had lavished her most splendid gifts
became the shuttlecock ot her Irony and went down to
dusty death In the midst ot mirth and revelry, has ab
sorbed the Intorest of two hemispheres during the week
■ow drawing to a close.
We have already Indicated that there are no lessons
to be learned from this Iliad of tears which time and frf
perience have not taught with tedious reiteration'ever
since the melancholy hour , *
"When Era had led her lord abray
And Cain had killed bis brother.”
We can only repeat that this Is true. And yet, at
' an hour when the moral ydiribllltles of.the world are
more deeply stirred than they have been for years—at an
hour when even tho flippant worldlings pause to meditate
upon the heart-ache that la twlu-bom to aelflsh pleasure!,
there Is an Inaplratlon to reflect upon at least one aspect
of the death-crowned saturnalia.
Out of the tangled woof and web of clews one fact
seems clearly to appear: That a man, endowed with more
than moderate weattb, possessing In superior degree the
talent, tho magnetism, the nameless charm by which
men cast-a subtle spell over those who come within the
circle of their Influence, employed these rich endow
ments to accomplish the overthrow of Innocence and
honor.
For purposes of these 'reflections It matters little
whether his Insidious artifice pursued tho object of his
former passion beyond the altar and the ring
with the Ineradicable canker Implanted In the years
by, one who follows the trsglo story a* Us tear
leaves unfold can hear. In Imagination, tho h™Yt-broken
wall of that earlier bride In the scriptural nllptfory: "The
|nj keeper* of the walls took away my veil fr<
I ••> The opnlenco of the Orient could / tbrnlah forth no
■} Impressive phrase to express the bitter depths
U) ‘ desolation and of shame. The manners and the eus-
.. - toms of tho times required that no nnsnllled wife or
| daughter In the Hebrew convmonwoalth should go un
I veiled. The nicety of honor prescribed that the eye
I of the y ranger should not see her face—a custom of
the Orient so deeply roOted that It aUll prevails today.
1 And tho keepers of the walls—they were the watch-
e 1 men. the guardians, the elvle towers of strength. They
• ere the incarnation ot law and order, the refuge of tho
weak, the defense ot helpless Innocence. If this pro-
' icctloo was withdrawn, whither could they fly In hours of
[*’ danger How hopeless and helpless they were Indeed
i<-\ whrmo fare was sacrilegiously revealed to every vulgar
ry e ami made the target of every Insulting leer!
There was a pathos which the occidental mind can
but dimply comprehend In that piercing wall ■ which
breaks through thu Song of Bongs: "The keepers of the
walla took away my veil from me.”
It is not alone In allegory, not alone In far Judea
that this walling ery rises above the mirth and laughter
of the world. Out of the languorous light and perfume
of an inebriating atmosphere where liner sensibilities ore
•teepod in rosy dreams and the sentinels of conscience
5 are lulled to sleep with lutee and lotuses—out of this
,,J Adonis garden of a night, oonjnred up by minds that are
' | masterful end mesmerio—there comes with sickening
n frequency and clearness the stricken cry: "The keepers
\ of the walls have taken away my veil from me!” •
' And thon the fierce light of the garish day—tho faco
n that fain would hlda Its beauty from the gloating eye of
i« levity or the chilling stare of scorn. Her happier sisters
'"pass her—veiled. The daughter, wife and mother—veiled,
t > relied, veiled! The very casements of uncoutamtnated
jj homes curtained and secure, seem to echo with withering
mockery, "veiled, veiled, veiled!"—while In her own
Wbltter and blighted heart murmurs the same melancholy
W monotone. "The keepers of the walls”—not the beggars
h M the gate nor the outlawed thieves on the highway to
vttsartchn. but the guardians ot social honor and civic
t jjrw, the keepers of the walla—“have taken away my veil
end me'"
How lonB ,s th ® *** mour “f wealth an eminence to

'half in the livery of tfirtue, because the texture of

le buildings on the splendid tract of ground
es the college property, makes the'Atlants
ystetatu end Surgeons In literal fact tbe
[olpmeat and tbe easy equal In the merit of
Lincoln, Watterson, and History.
Col. Henry Wntterson Jn now engaged In the philan
thropic work of defending Abraham Lincoln trom the
charge of Illegitimacy—before northern audiences, of
course.
Col. Watterson Is always Interesting, but, rarely-re
liable or Important. The trouble with tbe Kentucky
editor In his persistent bid for notoriety and applauad
from the clubs and gatherings that famish applause-r
and gate fees In the North. * . y'ji.'-' • ,;
A few years ago, and after Jetferaon-|>n\t» djpd -
tbe Colonel asserted before an applauding .inUlinoe- In
Chicago—that alxty days before the jvtljapKc'of ilie Con
federacy Jefferson Davit and big- Cabinetrafssed from
Abraham Lincoln and hla cpbtnet terms of surrender
whlch'every suggestion of prudence aqri of statesmanship
should have moved thpift'to accept. In tho' nb > rice ot
tiny other defender, the editor of Tho Georgian,entered
the lists of controversy against Honry Watterson upon
this proposition. We put upon the witness stitftd -i
complete refutation every'toemlnr of the Confcdni.it
cabinet living and depd, and every memhor of tho Con-
fqflferate commissioners living and dead. Tho contra-'
versy lasted two years. At the end of that ttmo Cqloncl
Watterson was compelled to.surrender, and.this he did,
not to the man who had proven his inaccurate reflections
upon the Confederate government,' biit'to J ‘jol»n ll.yltea-
gan, of Texas, postmaster general, of the Confederacy,
who hnd written a letter' Irtddralng 'tlrepbsttBfn''Which
the editor of this paper had assumed.
Two or throe years lateriHopklnson tfmltb asserted
In New England that "Unde* Tom’s Cabin" was doing
damage to the fraternal spirit of the country, and ought
to be condemned. Henry WnttcrsAif, speaking again to
and for the applause of some Northern gathering, rushed
to the defense of Mrs. 8towe’s book, and declared that
IV was a faithful picture ot Southern life and the author-
a great woman and benefactor. The editor of this paper
Joined Issue again with the foolish utterance, and
proved Mr. WntlecMon's maudlin error from tbe records
and from history; The controversy had no direct result
upon the eoWel’s expressed opinion, but the best proof
of the strejsith and truth of our contention was found la
the fartythat at the close of the controversy Colonel Wat-
tersoq'g own state of Kentucky petted an act through
Uky-legislature forbidding the presentation ot “Uncle
Jma't Cabin” upon any stage or platform In that com
monwealth.
And so It has come to be well understood that Col.
Watterson's history Is always largely colored by the
audience and occasion before which be speaks and that
his facts are always to be accepted with the proper and
prudent amount of salt
It Is a very generous and a very popular thing to
nrguo bafero a Northern or a Southern audience the
question of Lincoln's legitimacy. Wo love and honor
ilncoln In the South as much os they do in the North,
and at Jealously guard his fame. But the truth of history
Is something thnt will come out, and the evidence to
support Lincoln's Illegitimacy Is much clearer and strong
er than that which goca to prove the regularity of his
birth- Of course thu public desire and tendency ls-to
believe the better thing.
Lincoln's patornlty has been credited to various ct
of greator or less repute. There never was a scintilla
of fact to support the suggestion which The Macon
Telegraph revives that linked him with John C. Cal
houn. That was a mere rumor born of the romantic
design to link a great man to a great ancestor. It Is of
a part with the gossip thst made him the half brother
ot Jefferson Davis. Rlchnrd Owsley, of Kentucky, was a
nearer and better based suggestion.
But the strongest evidence pro or con In this famous
case, made Lincoln the son ot a neighbor In Hardin
county. Kentucky, Upon this line General James WII
son, of the Federal army, who was tbe captor of Macon
and of Jefferson Davis In our civil war, and who was later
advanced to high command In Cuba under the McKinley
administration, told the editor of The Georgian that
he had spent an entire winter In southern Indiana and
Kentucky In vigorous and exhaustive InveatlgntldR Into
this matter, and that Lincoln's Illegitimacy wns as well
attested as any fact In history.
But what does tt matter In the record of tho great
war president? Lincoln was a great, good man—one ot
the greatest and broadest and kindest lu the world's
roster of great men. lie has passed Into an Immortality
upon which the roses of Georgia and Carolina fan ns
softly as the roses of Kentucky and Illinois.
He Is not the first great man who lias lived under
this sad and melancholy shadow of birth.
Alexander Hamilton wns an Illegitimate, by the tes
timony. of his most ardent biographers. There are wise
men and strong men In the editorial sanctums of north
ern New ,'ork who will tell you from tho records that
Martin Van Bnren was the son of Aaron Burr, and that
Burr In turn was the putative father of Samuel J. Tllden.
The great brain and the great soul rises sbove all
advene condtUona and the world acclaims the man and
the hero that lived and forgets the Irresponsible child
that suffered In another's sin.

That Is'a'charming, and timely suggestion which
Mr.-J^moe L.'Fort. ol' An.erl. ns. make,-, through Tim
Oeorglsn tojlay to those »ho have Ip chnrttu the arrange-
bletit top opr. ItoOm coming’celebrgtlon In,October.
What could be sweeter ami what more beautiful
our exiled -"nr . ml daughters uln, are living In other
comur.mwi'iiltbs than to have their return' to tbla dear
old native state circle and "center about the Immortal
song Written by John Howard Payne, who. although born
Jn’ N'ojv Voi’k'ijltj,.lived In (Jeorgla aj>A wrote In this
state th e song that has gone around Vde world?
Purely this furnishes, n suggestion which our. Home
Comers committee could'utilise with great ’profit and ad-
vertlsr* with Immense effectiveness throughout. i tbq
length and breadth of the territory .which our former
Georgians have Inhabited and developed. The song
should run like nrallvwf current of loyalty tbrougbi every
day of tbe celebration, and If ye should make also tbe
occasion to erent/here at that time a monument for the
lpm^rtal singer. It wonl<i make a distinct and definite
center for tbls Home Comers week. 1 ; •■••' •
We commend the suggestion right heartily to those
who have this matter in charge, and If they should not
deem'It'appropriate to: honor Payne, then we might, aa
Mr. Fort auggesta, transfer the central thought of the
Homo Comers Week to the 'unveiling of Oglethorpe'
monument al Bavannah.' "As he' was the founder,’ It
jwould seem like a father calling his children home."
i This approaching 1 occasion !»•. In itself full of the
Jtendqreat suggestions, and of the noblest’sCntlmenta that
Jrtlr tho human heart Left to Itpelf and to the -mere
Joys of reunion, and qf fellowship, and of sight seeing,
'atyl<i scenes familiar and .those metamorphosed into att-
Itcrb development, there would be qbtindnnce of Joy
and happiness In oar Home Comers Week . But If there
breathed to Georgia's returning children In every note
pt the band and In'every stroke of the violin,-In every
rapturous burst of the orcheatra, and In every'tender
finger’ that touched the piano's chords during that - week,
the bpauty, ( the pathos and the radiant reminiscence of
Payne's Immortal song, the Georgia home comers would
carry back with them memories that would last them as
long as life should last.
And so, we suggest "Home, Sweet Home” as the sen
timent of every greeting, and we suggest that some noble
and timely memorial to the Immortal bard should form
tbe central and beautiful Incident of this period to
which every Georgian at home and abroad Is looking with
brightening eyes and glowing hearts against the Octo
ber day to come.

Be Brief, Dear Friends.
Once more we muet appeal to our friends and cor
respondents to have consideration for tbe crowded state
of our columns, and to make their communications brief.
It Is Just utterly Impossible tor us to print all ot the
opinions which our friends send to v* at the length In
which they are presented. The pile of communications
upon our desk Is so lsrgs thst they would consume two
solid Issues ot this paper at this moment to dispose ot
them, and if we published one-tl?trd ot them every day,
there would' be little room left for news or for editorial
opinion of our own.
The communications which we publish today are
nearly all condensed and abbreviated In this ofllce by
necessity. We have taken tbe liberty of doing this, be
cause we cannot possibly publish them In their original
length.
Once more we would Impress upon our (rtends and
correspondents that nobody reads long-winded communi
cations. except trom men particularly prominent In the
public eye. and even then, there are few who reed com
munications that are as much as a column In length.
We earnestly counsel our friends that If they would be
heard upon any subject to speak briefly.
One-fourth of a column Is the best length for a com
munication, a half column is the nest best,- three-
fourths the next best, and anything that reaches a col
The Reunion at Brandy Station.
Arrangements are being perfected for the reunion of
the Federal and Confederate forces which participated hi
the battle of Brandy Station on the anniversary of that
bloody event, August 9 next; and considerable Itttereet Is
being manifested In the approaching occasion,'
Phillips' Legion and Cobb’s Legion, made up of Oeor-
gla men, participated In this great battle, and It Is.deaired
that as- large an attendance as possible shall be secured.
Jeff Davis'Legion was also a participant In the battle,
and It Is hoped that the survivors of that command will
also be present.
Dr. C. F. D'Alvtgney, of this city, has been In corre
spondence with Adjutant W. P. Hill, of A. P. Hill Camp
No. 2, of Culpeper, Va.. who announces that one of the
objects of the reunion will be to Identify and mark the
locations of special Interest on the battlefield and thus
preserve thetr historical status.
The Southern railroad will give special rates for
the occasion and accommodations at a low rate will be
provided at Culpeper, as well as at Ilrandy Station,
which Is now s town of considerable Importance. It Is
desired to know ss early as possible Just bow many
veterans will attend.
Phillips' Legion was composed of Infantry and cav
alry, and waa commanded by Colonel William Phllllpt, of
Cobb oo’unty.
The lieutenant colonel was Seaborn Jones, of Polk
county; John B. Wllcoxson, of Coweta county, was the
major, and James H. Lawrence, of Floyd county, was the
adjutant. The legion consisted of ten companies and were
mustered Into service on the 11th of June, 1861..
They were prepared for active service at Camp Mc
Donald at Big Shanty. From there they were ordered to
Lynrhburg, Va. In January, 1862, tbe legion was sent to
the qoast qf South Carolina. While there the legion
formed a part of the brigade of General T. F. Drayton.
While the legion waa In South Carolina there was a
change of Its Hold officers, occasioned by the resignation
of Lieutenant Colonel Jones and Major Wllcoxson.
Captain W. W. Rich, of Cass (now Bartow) county,
was promoted to the position of lieutenant colonel, and
was assigned to the command of the cavalry companies
of the legion.
There were two companies of cavalry added to them,
making six, which entltled N them to a lieutenant colonal
and a major, forming a battalion of cavalry. Captain
William I). C. Puckett, of Cherokee county, was promoted
to the posttlqn of major lu September, 1862. In July,
1862. General Drayton received orders to proceed with
his •brigade to Virginia, and report to General R. E. Lee
for duty.
From that time the infantry and cavalry of the legion
were separated, and a later order from the secretary of
war created them as separate and distinct organisations,
so far ss each other was concerned.
The cavalry under Major Puckett arrivsd In Shep-
herdstown In time to engage In battle of Bharpsburg.
The cavalry battalion participated In all tbe fighta In
which General Wade Hampton's brigade waa engaged In
Virginia. Maryland and Pennsylvania •
Rev. W. E. Jones, of this city now, was the chaplain
of the battalion.
The captains were James II. Nichols, Thomas G.
Wilkes. KU C. Hardin. R. L. Y, long. A. F. Hunter and
W. K. Thomas.
Tbe Cobb let (ton was an organisation similar to
Phillips' l<eglon. It was organized In 1.861 by Thomas R.
R. Cobb, a distinguished lawyer of Georgia. In the organ
isation ot hla legion the Fulton Dragoons bad a place.
Several of the survivors of the old company, Fulton
Dragoons, are now living in this elty. Major Z. A- Rice,
who died here last year, was one ot them. Dr. Charles
D’Alvtgney Is now living here, sod Is s prominent and
Influential citizen. -
Cobb's Leglod was one of the distlnpptlsbed and
famous commands of tbe Southern army. It was com
posed of some of the best ot our Southern people-
The legion betas organized, went to Richmond and
. The Home for Old Women.
In spottier column of The Georgian appears this
afternoon a brief survey of the history of the Home for
Old, Women, conducted by’ the Gordon Circle of King's
Daughters. ,
Thlp noble Institution Is now In Its second year, and
during that time has cared for twenty-six inmates, fif
teen, of whocu are still wards of the Gordon Circle.
. Particular attention Is directed to the fact that the
period pf one year, for which the house now occupied
by the Home was granted rent free by the owner,
wlll ezptre on August 1, and It will be necessary before
that time .to make other arrangements. The circle has
on hand about $1,800 and pledges of $985 more ss a
nucleus of a building fund.
Tho -women In charge of this noble work are mak
ing heroic efforts to raise a sufficient amount of money
to warrant them in erecting a permanent and adequate
home for old women. Ten per cent of the proceeds of
the Nathan bakery, at 75 Peachtree, on tbe opening day
next Thursday, will be devoted to this cause. Similar-
entertainments are given from time to time to meet the
operating expenses of the home and to raise funds for the
proposed building.
There Is no worthier charity than this Old Woman's
Home In all Atlanta and It deserves the cordial support
of the people of this community. It Is taking care of the
feeble and destitute who have no onb else In the evening
of life to care for them, and surely this should appeal to
the deepest sympathies and best Impulses of our people.
- But one short month remains In whloh to make the
iieeesoary arrangements foj the future. Tfie Gordon Cir
cle already hat large obligations on Its shoulders In can
Ing for the fifteen Inmates of the home, and provision
must be made, not only for these but for the larger num
ber who are seeking admission. .
The Georgian commends the movement to the people
ot Atlanta and hopes that It will soon be carried to a
successful Issue.
Jackson sent Major Fltzhugh' to General*Cobb for a
squadron of cavalry to Support a battery on General D. H.
Hill's left flank.'.
General Cobb ordered squadron B to report to Major
Flfxhugh. Squadron B consisted of two cavalry, companies
of Cobb's Legion, and the designated squadron waa the
Fulton Dragoons.
Tbey had to pass through and under heavy shelling
from the federal guns and tbelr duty wps to support a
battery ot the famous Washington Artillery, which waa
In danger of being flanked by federal cavalry. The
Squadron B remained there until tbe laat gun was flred,
and then, with General Stuart, they followed the retreat
ing enemy.
Major Fltzhugh, some time after that, remarked to
Captain Z. A. Rice, of the Fulton Dragoons:. “Do you
know that General Jackson paid your squadron a high
compliment at the battle of Cold Harbor? He saw your
squadrop.*s you were passing through that storm of Iron
hall, and he remarked that your squadron would do to

A CHARMING SUGGESTION FOR HOMECOMERS.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
The great success of the Kentucky home-coming and
the honor shown to the Old Kentucky Home's author
suggests tbst Georgia can more appropriately celebrate
home-coming this fall at the state fair. John Howard
Payne,' tho author of Home. Sweet Home, was a Georgian
and Is entitled to a monument for this grand old song.
Georgia has many distinguished sons dispersed through
out the union and It would be very appropriate for our
state to have a great home-coming of all tbe sons of
Georgia to do honor to tbe memory ot the author ot
"Home, Sweet Homo." By all means let us erect a suit
able monument to-him In Atlanta and It could be un
veiled aome time during the state fair next fall with suit
able ceremonies. It would draw an Immense crowd to
the fair and do much to promote enterprise and patriot
ism. I hope your paper will take this matter up and
make a success of It. Very truly yours,
JAMES L. FORT.
THE GEORGIAN STANDS FOR MORALITY. .
To the Editor of The Georgian:
The publishers ot The Atlanta Georgian are to be
congratulated for tbe Imimi-tant step they have taken for
the cause of morality and sobriety In that they refuse
to'publish liquor advertisements.
This noble example set by Tbe Georgian should be
followed by all newspaper men who recognize whisky
■a a great evil and all who profess to be against its sale.
Every editor before accepting an advertisement from a
liquor dealer should ask himself this question: Is It
right to sell liquor? Does the person who accepts the
terms of this advertisement receive the value of his
money? Could I sell liquor and still have a good con
science? Would the meek and lowly Nazarene handle
liquor In any way If he ns upon the earth?
If deep down In your heart, your answers to tbeso
questions are yee. then you ran consistently publish
liquor "ads." but If your conscience and reasoning pow
ers answer In tbe negative then you cannot do so If you
place any value on tbe merits of your paper as an ad*
vertlslng medium.
If you did not think you would enable the liquor
dealer to Increase the sales of the damnable stuff that
wrecks more homes, causes more crimes and destroys
taore happiness than every other influence put together,
you would be acting dishonest, for in that case you would
accept bis money and give nothing of value In return.
If on the other band you increase tbe sales ot the bar
keeper, the blood spilled on account of tbe Increase of
sales made possible by tbe advertisement In a newspa
per Is upon the skirt of the publishers ot the paper as
well as ujton the skirts of tbe saloon keeper.
We are glad to see the sentiment against the liquor
traffic growing stronger each day and hope to see the
time soon come when all respectable newspapers will
refuse to aid tbe Itqubr dealers In their unholy traffic by
publishing thetr alluring advertisements. We believe
the temperance people ot the state should show their
appreciation of the noble stand they have taken at con
siderable financial loss by giving The Georgian their
hearty support and patronage.
