THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE "It la Indeed a daalrabla thing to ba wall do- acended, but tha glory belonga to our aneeatora." —Plutarch. Eg What Congress Has Done. The Brat aeaalon o( the Fifty-ninth congreea, after anting since early In December of laat year, adjourned abortly before midnight on Saturday and the membera bare gone to their respective homee to look after their fence*. fn many reapecta thla waa on* of the moat remark' able aaaalona of congreaa erer held, ft waa notable both In achierement anC In the amount of dfacuaalon In dulged In on the inbject of the various measures brought up for action. The Congressional Record will reach 10,000 pages and tha number of words taken down by the offl dal stenographers reach tha tremendous total of 40,000,' 000. There can be no doubt that tha nature of the Ini' portent legiaiat.on adopted has carried the government further toward centralisation than It has ever gone be fore. but It has all come legitimately within the range of the constitutional provision which gtvea congreaa the rhlit of regulating Interstate commerce, and the taw* themaelvea ware an salutary and so essential that thorn lias not been the slightest apprehension on the part of the South. Indeed, the entire work of reform bee been so dis tinctly In line with the po'lcy which the Democratic par ty has been endeavoring to secure for a weary while that the Republicans themaelvea recognise the tact, and It haa been one of the humiliating experiences of the aeaalon' that they havo had to stand for the charge that they cribbed D....7cral t thunder In working out reforms which they could no longer Ignore. The moat Important monshres were the adoption uf a law regulating rallroml rate*; on* providing for a rigid Inspection cf moat ntnl meat products; the adop tion of new laws relating to naturalisation; the reorgan Isatlon of the consular system; the enactment of pure food regulations; the establishment of national quaran tine; the admission of Oklahoma and thu Indian Terri tory aa the forty-sixth state In the union, with the pro vision that Arlsona and New Mexico shall vote separate ly on the proposition to be admitted ae one state; the removal of i’ > Internal tax on denatured alcohol, and llnally the adoption of the lock type of canal acroas the Isthmus of Panama. Twenty-one thousand bills were Introduced lo the house, while 6,600 were offered In the senate. Four thousand of these measures were enacted Into laws, of which three hundred were of a public nature. Tha entire attitude of the Fifty-ninth congress was one of strict criticism of the corporations, and one of the measures which promlso to be most important during the days to come Is the resolution directing the Inter state Commerce Commtslson to Inquire Into |be relations ojr the common carriers with tho great coal and oil pro ducing Industrie*. • Moat of the Important legislation has revolred about the functions of tho commission, and the railroad rate legislation waa, of course, the most notable. This act In- c reeses the membership of the commission to seven, and Iw-rwew the aalary of ach member to 110,000 a year. The new law broadens the term "common carrier” to include express and aloeping cars, as woll as railroad and boat line* under n common management. It broad ens the term "transportation" to Include private car lines, elevators and all other means for the shipment of commodities. It provides that the rates ahall be "reason able." It gives the Interstate Commerce Commission full power, upon complaint and after a hearing, to fix "a reasonable and 1st maximum rate,” which ahall take ef fect thirty d-.y* after the Issuance of the order, and re main In force two years unless changed by the commla- slon or, after review by the court*, la set aelde. Appeal* by either party may be taken direct from the lower federal courts to the supreme court within thirty dgys. The ooinmlealon !s to have access at all times to the record* of the common carriers. The law la to tako effect on August £8. The bitterest light In congress perhaps was over the meet Inspection measure, but out of the turmoil has come a bill which Is fairly satisfactory. There la soldo regret that the packer* ere not required to pay the expenses of Inspection, but this Inspection will be thorough, at all hours of the day or night On the whole It will be a greet Improvement over the existing laws. The pure food law la another place of wholesome leg islation. It provides a penalty tor adulterated or mis branded tood, supplementing the pare food laws of the various states. The bureau of chemistry of the depart ment of agriculture la required to make examination* of food and drugs suspected of being adulterated or mis branded, anc when auch la found to be the case the secretary of agriculture Is authorised to certify the. facts tn the' United States district attorney fftr the district In which the violation is alleged to have occurred. The new naturalisation law provides that no alien can become a citlsea unless he Is capable of speaking the English language. A bureau I* to be established for the registration of a description of every alien entering our porta, and the lew forbids the naturalisation of any one who It an anarchlat or advocates lawlessness or l-tlygamy. The provision that all quarantine stations shall be placed under the control of the secretary of the treasury also provides for the transfer of state or local control of quarantine stations to the federal government, which shall have the right to establish other quarantine eta* non* by condemnation or otherwise. Half a million dol lars Is appropriated for carrying out this provision. The commercial world has been particularly Interest- •-<1 In the repeal of the tax on denatured alcohol. Thla will reduce the cost of such alcohol—made unfit for use aa a basis for beverages or patent medicines— from about $2.64 to 26 cents a gallon, and It will make It i-Miible to ns* It for fuel end Illuminating purpose*.

The Georgian understands that a strong effort will be made In the present legislature to create the now county of Ben Hill, and Tha Georgian la frankly and un hesitatingly In sympathy with the movement. The legislature last year left tta work only two- third* done when It named two of Its new counties after two of the great Georgia, triumvirate, but omitted tho third, and perhaps the greatest of the three. It was n splendid act of recognition to create the counties of Dob Toombs and Alex Stephens, but the patriotic work was Incomplete and almost slurred whan the law-givers of Georgia forgot to add the name of Ban Hill. Alax Stspbens was the great constructive statesman of his period. Benjamin Hill was the greatest orator, tha finest analyst and the grsstest leader of opposition that Georgia ever produced. Robert Toombs stood be tween the two with some of the qualities of etch, and with soma qualities which neither of bis greet contem poraries possessed, but there was no greater Georgian than Benjamin Harvle Hill. Hla speeches are the classics of Georgia oratory', his courage Is a part of the heroic history of the commonwealth, and hla logic and Individu ality will be remembered In Inspiration by the genera tions to come. The nomenclature of our state divisions .It Incomplete when It Includes a Toombs and a Ste phens, unless It should also add a Ban Hill to the roster of Its county names. There seems to be no reasonable basis of objection to this excellent bill. The dUxens of Irwin county llv- Ing In and around Fltxgerald are asking the legislature to amend the constitution by creating this county of Ben Hill. Senators and representatives of both tbo new county and the territory taken from the ol«J counties affected by the legislature are not only In favor of the measure but enthusiastically Its advocates. The county seat of Irwin I* tha little town of Irwin- vllle, 11 mile* from Fltsgerald, which I* * city of 8,000 to 10,000, and the people who find It neceaaary to visit tha court bouse are without railroad facilities of any kind, while the hotel facilities In Irwin are wholly Inadoquata to accommodate thoaa who attend the regular sessions of the superior court. Thla measure wae up before the last legislature and lacked only a single vqta of passage. Under all these olrcumstances. It would soem to bo a plain and easy mat ter for the legislator* to see Its way clear to gratifying and convenlenclng a large number of Georgia people, while at the same time they do tardy justice to the mem ory of one of the greatest and moat Illustrious Georgians of hla own and of other times. We sincerely trust that the legislature may see this question In this wsy, and that on* name, at least, and that the name of Ben Hill, shall be added to the lllna- triona Hit ac the last of the new eountle* to be created by the state. Wc Omit a Communication. There are few men In Georgia for whom we have a higher personal regard than Judge Enoch Calloway, of Augusta, but we simply cannot find It good newspaper policy to give five and a half columns of our apace today to th* renewed expressions of Judge Calloway’* opinion of Mr. Hoke Smith. Some weeks ago wo published a three colhmn article of Judge Calloway's upon this theme and ware glad to give It space In our paper, as Judge Calloway himself had reconUy been under fire as a member of the state executive committee. To this arttdo Mr. Hoke 8mlth has never replied. It he had, we should fsel under some obligation to give five and a half columna more to Judge Calloway, but .In view of the fact that this Is simply a renewal of criticism answer to Mr. Smith’s criticisms upon the etump, and In view of the fact that It covers ao much of old matter along with the new matter which It Introduces, we Just simply cannot believe that the readers who pay for our paper would prefor to reed five and a halt columna Judge Calloway’s opinion of Mr. Smith In these politi cal times, rather than five columna of new* and telegraph- matter which we would be compelled to omit In order make room for Judge Calloway's comments And ao, wo believe tjiat we do our best duty to our thousands of resdors when we decide this question In favor of five columna of news and telegrams which come In conflict with Judge Calloway's always Interest ing opinions. Of course, It la a matter of regret to ua at any time omit anything which Judge Calloway may offer to the public, and he may rest assured that any articles of hla which come at reasonable length will have a wel come piece In thla paper as long re It le published, but we submit to him and to our readers that w* are doing the Journalistic and the proper thing when w* choose five columns of news In preference to five and a half col umns of opinions which almost any man can forecast be fore they ere read. We true*, sincerely that we shall hear from Judge Calloway at another time, and upon another subject which doee t engage so exhaustively the processes of hie mind. MR. FLEMING'S ADDRESS. To the Editor of The Georgian: 1 do not agree with your position as regards th* dlsfranehlsemeat of the negro, but I assent to your posi tion In regard to Mr. Fleming’s speech laat Tuesday—! do so with respect for you and for Hon. Hooper Alexan der, whose letter, criticising Mr. Fleming, and your edi torial, appeared tn the Georgian yesterday. As for Mr. Fleming's good teat* la choosing a subject, I am willing lo leave that to the judgment of the late and lamented Walter Hill, who had such decided convictions upon questions that he would not vary from them to be gover nor of Georgia. As to the question back of good teste, which affects the rights of every cltiaen of Oeorgla—the alumni of the university, namely, Mr. Fleming's right to speak upon—tha question that la acute In Oeorgla politics (although ao tar aa I am Informed Georgia Is the only state that has made thla great question a political Issue), any eltlten. says Mr. Alexander, hat the right to express hla views, in his own time and place. But when he Is given the sole opportunity to speak It I* wrong to promulgate views which cannot be answered upon equal term*, and The Georgian was equally guilty because Its editorial Indoraed Mr. Fleming's right thus to speak and choose. Why waa It wrong? Because, says Mr. Alex ander, the university rostrum ought to be one of the great free platforms of the state, and In the very next sentence tells us that In the very nature of things It te Impossible to give a hearing to both aide* upon such an occasion. Therefore to nuke -sn address upon such aa occasion for or against any vital Issue I* a suppression of free speech. Pitiable university rostrum! Pitiful free speech! According to Mr. Alexander. Mr. Fleming should have i a subject that would have renewed the filial and fraternal memories ot youth. Yes, something Ilka How Old Ann Waa" or "Which Is th* Butt End of a Very much like the old minister I once heard j within the went Into n rrreat tree church to preach. Thla J Interesting hat brother went to hint with the request that he would not touch upon auch nud auch questions because they w-ere acute Issues in tho church. At last tlo- old minister In desperation asked. What shall I preach nbout? One old brother aaya. Give the Jews hell, there are none here * So, Mr. Alexander, that was not yonr reaton for criticising Mr. Fleming and Tho Georgian. What was It? Where Is tbo trouble? No man. says Mr. Alexander, can discuss In June, 1906, acute and momentous issues with out being partisan, and Mr. Fleming’s discussion of I be question was wrony. I,-tail-, a literal tot litileall’ > he called no man's name In his discussion. Thereupon Mt Uexander removes the let l.t.l- ality ami 'IHH'.e.-s :1.<- secret of hla trouble by calling a name. From yonr logic. Mr. Alexander, It seems to me that free speech must not be partisan and that no man can discuss acute and mo mentous IssueB without being partisan, therefore none bat partisans should discuss this Issue. From my view point your trouble seems to be lhat Mr. Fleming dis cussed. from your standpoint, the wrong side ot the ques tion. Upon this subject I sty Mr. Fleming bad the right to (IIbcuss disfranchisement, or freight rates. If you please. from the university rostrum, from hla standpoint, for I do not think Mr. Fleming Is responsible tor these Issues bolng partisan and I believe they would be more Intelli gently discussed and decided It they had been kept out of the plane of partisan politics, ft seems to me the hon or of disfranchisement being sn Issue ought to belong to the editor of The Georgian, for from what Information I have he was the first and most consistent advocate of the Issue In Georgia- I will leave the question of how It cams to be a partisan lmlltlcal issue to tho Judgment ot Mr. Alexander. Mr. Alexander says Mr. Fleming made Just aa good an gysuasent on the subject as can be made, and that It Is not likely to Injure the cause he attaoked. Well, then, what harm has his choosing disfranchisement for a subject, and his argument of the qnestlon done? Mr. Alexander further says he knows the mlods of the people of Goorgla, and that they are going to eliminate the negro as far as possible, from polities, and as far as that question Is concerned be cared nothing about Mr. Fleming's speech. Well, why did you go to the trouble to write a two-barreled column to Tha Georgian against It? If you will prove to the readers of Tne Georgian that you care absolutely nothing about It, then I will eat crow. In conclusion, Mr. Alexander aaya It 1* bis love for the university and free speech that prompted him to make this protest Well, Mr. Alexander, If your criticisms of Mr. Flem ing were all true, and If Mr. Fleming did blunder, there are Juit lots and lots ot people In Georgia whom the university and Its speakers does not directly affect but there are very few people In the state that onr news papers do not affect, and I trust The Georgian will con- Inue to give us In Its editorials the truth, as deduced from facts, even If It Is from a standpoint that believes differently from Its editor, for only from a view of both aides of a question can readers Intelligently decide what 1s right.

A PRACTICAL BREATHING SPOT. To the Editor of The Georgian; I not* that an effort la being made by a committee connected with tha Atlanta Charitable Association, to use the ground surrounding the school* for the purpose of public play grounds. This Is not an experiment In other cities and Is not altogether a new thing In the city ot Atlanta. For the paat twelve months on the Marietta road, adjoining the property of the Exposition Cotton Mllli, has been located a public play ground under the management of the Ex position Mills Sunday school. Those interested In this movement operate on the following plan: The lot Is the property ot the Georgia Railway and Eleotric Company and waa vacant, not being used. Con sent was obtained from the president of this company to use the ground and Improve same, with the understand ing of course that at any time the company might wish to Improve It'they had the liberty to take possession. Through ihe assistance of th* cotton mill and also friends of the Sunday school, the grounds were Inclosed In fence and apparatus purchased and constructed. There Is a good ball park, also swings, Joggling boards and merry-gd-round, and In connection with this Is tho use of a house In which the apparatus Is stored, rings, trapexe, boxing gloves, eto., etc., when not In use. This ground is under the charge of a committee ot three men residing In the neighborhood and also three boys These boys through their Interest In the grounds and also Influence which they have over the children, prevent any rowdyism, boisterous actions and destruc tion of ap'paratus. Your journal could use Ita Influence to excellent ad vantage If they would encourage the establishment of these play grounds throughout tbs city, especially In the factory dlstrlota where the poor people reside, as they are unable to obtain the advantages of Grant park, owing to the fact that their work hour* are long, and they havo not the necessary fundi «to pay car tare to and from this park. If any ot your readers wish to see these little folks enjoy themselves to tholr utmost capacity, they should visit this play ground some Saturday afternoon. Many cities are going to very large expense In th* establishment of these public playgrounds to place them Editor of The Georgian: I am Inspired to write this article from having read Brother George A. Beattie's Sunday school lesHon In The Georgian of tho 2Xd. It Is remarkably strange that pro fessing Christians are so deluded and blinded to the truth—as It Is revealed In the Word of God—by the god of this world, the devil, as to misrepresent the Divine Character by holding Ood up to the minds of the young as a God of hate and vengeance Instead of a God of love, by teaching the everlasting torment of the wicked In a place or condition called hell. Even Ihe childish mind would naturally rebel against tho worship of such a cruel fiendish monster as the Lord's dear people, many of them. Ignorantly elalm him to be. by the preaching and teaching of auch unscriptural doctrines. I only wish to call attention to the latter part of tbo Sunday school lesson by Brother Beattie, where ho speaks of “Hell Fire." He says truly that "Gehenna" was a valley just outside the walls of the City of Jeru salem, where all the filth, garbage, etc., of the city was consumed, destroyed, burned up, not preserved in any way. He says "we are not to understand that Christ Intended to teach that there Is a literal hell fire where th* souls of the lost are burned.” Correct. “He uses It only os a type or symbol of the sufferings they will endure.” With all due respect to the opinion of Brother Beattie and all who bellove ns he does. I must-say that this last statement is altogether unscriptural, God-dis honoring and as false ns the devil himself who origi nated It Everything that went Into Gehenna—tho val ley of Hinnom—was destroyed, not tormented, not pre served In any sense. Hence our Savior used it as a symbol of destruction and not as a symbol of torment or misery. Our Lord used the samo word, Gehenna, aa a symbol of destruction In Matthew 10:21, wwra he says "Fear him who Is able to destroy both soul and body In aehenna," bell. Anything that Is destroyed can't anffer. If man was Immortal then God could not destroy him, because Immortal means death proof, and the Scriptures plainly teach us that "God only hath Im mortality." Hence every being In the universe, men. an gels and devils, are mortal, otherwise they would be equal with God, as Satan made Eve believe she would be by eating the forbidden fruit. The fact that the devil Is to be destroyed (Heb. 2:14) prove* that angels are mortal, because be was once chief amongst them. Then we, the church, are admonished to "seek for glory Immortality, eternal Ufa.” Why seek for that we are already In posaesilon of? None but the church, the bride, the lamb's wife, will ever attain to the divine Immortal nature, which I* the reward of the church, and Paul tells us we get It In the first resurrection—Cor. 16:63. God has nowhere at any time promised eternal life th the wicked anywbar* In any condition, not even In s hell ot torment; and if the wicked are to be preserved anywhere In any kind of tormeut eternally they would necessarily have to be made partakers of the divine na ture, which la Immortality, and an all-wise God could never bo guilty of bestowing a part of hla own nature upon tbo wicked In order that he might torment that pert of hie own nature In n hell of misery. Oh how com pletely Satan has blinded the eyes of those who profess to be servants of the living God and bellovera In HI* word. Hell Is described In the context as a place of darkness instead of a place ot lurid flame of fire. In nnnther It 1* described as a place of forgetfulness, where there la no knowledge or wisdom. Instead of a place of walling and gnashing of teeth. In fact, the worda which translate onr English word hell have" a directly opposite meaning to that given them; they do not have the sig nificance of torment In the remotest degree and cannot be made to have such a Significance) by translating them into English. But let us suppose that the doctrine of the eternal torment of the wicked Is true, what Is going to become ot them when the devil and hell are both destroyed? That the devil la to be destroyed Is clearly taught in tho Bible cannot be denied, as we read In Heb. 2:14, and others. Then in Hoses 13:14, we read "O grave I will be thy destruction.” The word rendered grave here 1s the Hobrew word shoo), and sheol, no matter what aheol Is, or what sheol means, sheol Is to be destroyed, and sheol Is rendered bell thirty-one times In the Old Tes tament Scriptures- The doctrine of eternal torment should never be taught to children, or any one else, for It Is altogether unreasonable, unscriptural, Qod-dlshonoring and blas phemous, was originated by the devil In the dark ages, B romulgated by the apostate church and handed down to to Protestant denominations ns a legacy. The Immor tality of man (the old lie with which Satan deceived Eve In the garden of Eden) upon which the doctrine of the eternal torture of the wicked was founded, are the two principal foundation stones of the apostate church and all those who come out of her. Hence they are doctrine* of anti-Christ, the doctrines ot devil*. I challenge any one to refute a single statement I have made tn this article. J. C. C. CARLTON. College Park, Oa. MEN ADMIRE NEATNESS IN WOMEN. A young man has written asking my advice os to th* wisdom of breaking bis Engagement. He says that h* loves his sweetheart, but that ah* Is so distressingly untidy that he feare he could never live hap pily with her. He has spoken to her time and again about thla eerloue fault, but with no good result. , I cannot advise him to marry her, for know that no girl who-la untidy about her person and the house could make a good wife. She could not make a man comfortable, and no man’s love Is proof against discomfort. Untidiness aleo means extravagance, and an extravagant wife la a drawback to any man. This young man differs in nowise from hie fellow-men. There le no man living who doss not dislike slovenli ness and untidiness In a woman. No mattsr how pretty a girl may be, she Is untidy It seriously detracts from her beauty. The plain girl, ot course, can still less afford to be untidy, but she neee have ao qualms about being pleasant to look upon It she keeps hermit exqui sitely nest and dainty, for neatness and daintiness have a beauty all their own. Many a man's Interest In a girl ha* been checked because he found her to he untidy about her home. In a town where I need to visit there lived a family ot charming gtri*.
