The Claims of a Great School. The Georgian is In sympathy with the need, end as pirations ot every school In Georgia, public and private. We believe In education, because we believe In youth and because we believe In tbe future of the atate. There never came to our eari an appeal from an edu cational Institution which did not reach our aympathy, and If our punas had been long enough, they would have received our substantial aid. . We believe In a liberal and generous policy on tbe part of the lawgivers of tbe atate toward every educa tional institution which the etate has In care. We believe that to the very limit of the capacity of the state's means and equipment It should help to build tbe educational Institutions for men and women which look to It for support, and wt are quite confident that no people and no constituency will ever criticise or con damn a public servant who deals In large and Intelligent generosity toward every educational Institution of Georgia. , Dut while we speak In thece general term*, there Is an Institution whleh for many reasons Is peculiarly near to our Interest and affection. The Georgia Normal and Industrial School at Mllledgevllle Is the only Institution in this state given up exclusively to the education of our young women In the Industrial arts and sciences that en able them to be self-sustaining In the world. Along this line It makes the highest and most practical appeal to the judgment and the patriotism of every father, of every mother and of every public-spirited citizen In the state. No school In Georgia of any grade or kind de serves more at the hands of the state than thli girls' Industrial Institute at Mllledgevllle, and this not less bo cause of Its unique and Isolated devotion to this phase of our young women's development, but because of the splendid merit and the magnificent work of the school. This MtUedgovlUe school Is equal to any ot Its kind In the country, and In proportion to Its equipment we do not hesitate to call It tbe very best of Its kind. Its fac ulty, carefully reorganised and steadily Improved from year to year, Is now as complete, as harmonious, as ably equipped and as effective a corps of teachers as can be found In the South. " Its work Is of the very highest grade, and the consecration and capacity ot Us instruc tors Is beyond cavil or criticism. The school In Its present status Is overcrowded and inadequate to the Increasing demands which are being mndo upon Its rolls. Four hundred and ten girls were enrolled and nobly taught at this school during the past scholastic year. Over one hundred and ten girls were turned away from Its doors because there was no room for them and no place for them to stay or to study. This slngto statement tell* the tale ot the state’s opportunity and ot the state's duty. In these days women mean as much aa men. They work In all the lines In whloh men work, they labor, they create, they sustain, they support other people, and they are Indispensable and Indestructible factors In the commercial warp and woof ot our state existence. Under these circumstances, our obllgaUon to the young women of the state la at great as our obligation to our young men, and wa respectfully present to the gentlemen of the legislature that, however sensitive they may be, sod as they always are toward the appropriation of money for institutions of any kind, that thay can make no mistake and do no wrong If, under all the circum stances that surround this noble and effective Institution, they will promptly, generously and heartily concede to Its president and Ita faeulty an additional appropriation which shall be needed to accommodate the girls of Geor gia who at preseat are clamoring earueatly and unan swered at Ita doors. Fort 8nmter. It seems perfectly plain that the arms were purchased to protect the state against the antic! paled dangers of a raid of outside fanatics or an upris ing of tbe slaves wlthlir the state. Under these clreuniatnnces, the debt appears to ev ery right thinking man to be one of peculiar and binding force upon the honor and tbe sentiment of tbs state. Tbe emergency that called for It was of a startling nature and born of an apprehension that was shared by every state In the South. Tbo guns, while not bought tor purposes of rebellion, were afterwards In the early days of tbe war, put Into hands of the Confederate soldiers, who fought for their country and who were so scantily equipped for the battle. Gallant old General Phil -Cook, Introducing George Mattingly In 1875 to the members of tbe Georgia legists ture, said: "It is quite probable that I entered the ser vice with one of these guns on my back, and tr to. I would like for it to be paid for," and we earnestly be lieve that this sentiment represents tbe average sent! ment of the Confederate soldier of that time and of his honest descendants of today. It seema strange, that In the consideration of this honorable debt, constitution makers should go out of tbelr way to raise this question of rebellion, when It Is so remote and so far away from the question. It would seem that they might well afford to leave such objections to those who were not so rlehly dowered with the mem ories ot the Confederate war. Onco before the editor of The Georgian has given hta strong editorial Indorsement to tbe payment of this honest claim. We sincerely believe that It ought to be paid. We sincerely believe that It Is a just debt. We sincerely believe that It Is a debt of honor. Wo recall the fact that this was perhaps the only question of tbelr generation upon which Bob Toombs. Alexander Stephens, Benjamin Mill and Joe Brown were all of one mind—that Georgia fairly owed this debt and should fully pay It. We cannot understand why the atate should hesitate upon a matter whose appeal seema so clear and so Irre sistible. We cannot betleve that the rich and prosper ous Georgia of 1905 will fall to pay out of her fullness and her old white repute this small debt incurred la a period of apparently vital danger to the Isolated and ap parently beleaguered Georgia of 1859. Unless tbe facts of this case are all misstated, and this we do not believe, we cannot fall to fool that the Integrity of this state la at Issue in the prompt aud hearty discharge ot a Just and honorable obligation. b A Case of Ante-Bellum Honor. There la a curious, and Interesting clnlm ponding be fore the present legislature, which baa tbe distinct flavor of reminiscence of the ante-bellum period of the 8outb. Just after the sensational raid of old John Brown, ot Ossowatomle. through Virginia, there was a very distinct feeling of apprehension felt throughout tbe South over a possible repetition of this raid from other fanatics, and much more probably from certain Instigated uprisings of the slaveg. Founded upon this feeling, the state legislature ot 1859 authorised Governor Joseph E. Brown, then In the exccutlvo chair, to purchase from the Sharps Rifles Company In the North a sufficient equipment of guns to arm the entire militia ot the state tor defense against either ot these anticipated danger*. Governor Brown put the order Into execution, bought and distributed the guna, paid one-half cash for them, and Issued bonds to pay for tbe others, payable In lvSO. When the time came for the maturity of these lionds, they were either rejected or discredited by the legislature ot that period, and have never up to this time been paid. Hon. Benjkmtn H. Hill la now pressing upon the leg islature the claim for tbe unpaid half of tbe bonds issued for these guns. Tbe Sharps Rifles Company disposed ot the bonds to George Mattingly, of Washington, D. C-, thirteen yean before they were due. Mattingly was a Confederate soldier living In the valley of Virginia, and was the friend ot John B. Gordon, Thomas M. Norwood, and Alexander Stephens. The history of these bonds and of tbelr successive treatment by Georgia legislatures is both Interesting and BBtonlshlng. For one reason or another, they have al ways been rejected or their payment postponed, and up to the present time thli apparently just and appealing debt of honor has never been discharged. The opponents ot the measure have been Inclined to place their repudiation upon the aami basis as the repu diation of the Bullock bonds, and to tall back upon the theory that it la contrary to the fourteenth amendment to pay any debt "incurred In aid ot rebellion." It appears to The Georgian aa an Impartial observer Dreyfus Acquitted We have followed with appropriate comment the ap peal of Captain Dreyfus to the supreme court ot Franco to annul the sontence of the Rennes coart martial which found him guilty. But now that the decision of the court Is definitely known and the greaUy persecuted victim, who was made a vicarious sacrifice for the stos of the French army, has been definitely and finally acquitted ot the charges laid against him, the occasion seems to call for an addi tional word. Tho whole affair has been one of the crimee ot the age. Forgery and perjury reeked throughout the trial and a plan who Is now known to have been entirely In nocent of the chargos laid against him wnB sent to the most foarful and Ignominious punlBhmont a devilish Ingenuity could devise. In the manly fortitude which sustained him throughout the trying ordeal, we have had a practical Illustration of the extent to which the con sciousness of Innocence may actually lend courage and strength. This feeling kept him alive during tbe tortures of his imprisonment. It restrained his hand when loaded revolver was purposely left within easy reach as tho only means ot escape from his agony ot mind and body. And whon at laWl hla friends secured tor him another hearing and a subsequent pardon, this feel lng prompted him to keep up the fight until he* se cured an acquittal and the restoration of all his honors. He etsnds absolved before the world and all bis suffering Is counted unto him for righteousness. He has given a lesson to mankind which was not born to die. The ultimate triumph of Integrity, the justice that ha* finally prevailed, the rebuke that has been administered to offenders In high places, all contribute to a more hopeful and wholesome sentiment by which the world cannot fall to profit. Work and Wealth. Mayor Thompson, of Kalamasoo—where the celery comes from—Is a man of wealth and Importance, aa In dicated not only by hi* official position but by many other collateral facta. He Is a leading citizen In that community In every way. But he hae some very decided Ideas as to raising boys and he has started out to do the work well. He wants them to learn the value of moaey, so that when they come Into their fortunes In after years they will know how to utilise It to the beet advantage. As a consequence tbe passereby on the streets ot Kalama soo may at any time see these two boys, aona of the may or, actually encaged In laying the pavements ot the city, which happens to be one ot the municipal Improvements now In progress. No distinction Is msde between thorn and any ot the other day laborers who are engaged In tbe tame work and their father does not want any such distinction msde. He hope* that when they have passed .through such experiences as the present, and have literally earned their bread In the sweat of their brow, they will grow up man lier and better for the ordeal. There can be no doubt that he la right It other men of wealth pursued the lame policy there would be less sorrow In the world. There would be comparatively little ot the dissipation and extravagance which are born ot Idleness and luxury. It would prevent many of the crimes which cumber the dockets ot the cou[ts and bring untold misery on the hu man race. Skill and Industry are as essential to preserve and properly uee large fortunes as to accumulate them, but tbe world ae a rule presents a pitiful spectacle of the de generate sons of worthy and hard working alree. After all It should be borne In mind that ■'This Is the master key: \ Skilled hahde and Industry.” Was It laid out as the first payment on a patent churn, bought on the Installment plan, In tbe hope of some day being able to purchase a cow to fit It; Did she Invest It In a twenty-dollar plush album for the front parlor. In the hope that some vaguo 8b Nicholas would drop a center table and a divan In her stocking at tbe end of the year? There are those who are ready to contend that she should have used this money toward buying a stove. Bet- GOSSIP] Now, In point of fact, which of these many things did she do with that 25 cents? It would be Interesting' to know, as a study of sociol ogy* but on tbe whole If the husband has really con tributed only two dimes toward the household expenses In five years* the same being four cents a year, he is probably guilty of non-support and should be doomed to live alone all the rest of hfs days.

R has Just developed that on Sunday sh* entertained four women guests at a 35-ctot dinner at the Hotel Gramatan, In Bronxvtlle. After settling the bill of 51.23 she left the table without tipping the w alter, which showa she Is not en tirely given over to extravagance.

She and her friends seemed In high spirits, laugh ing and chatting away two hours be fore they arose, re-entered their auto mobile and hurried away. A striking Instance In which some times fortunes ore over-estimated, is given by the presentment of the estate of the late John S. McCall, which has been filed In tho surrogates court. The value of the personal property Is given at (71.000, from which Is de ducted (83,165 for debts and various expenses, leaving a net estate of (40,- 835 only. His widow Is the sole ben eficiary under his will. When the Insurance Investigation forced the retirement of Mr. McCall from the presidency of the New York Life last Janunry, he returned to the company (2(5,OX that had Wt) ex pended by Andrew Hamilton, but few people thought he was Impoverishing himself In mnklng the payment.

That la a question the New Jersey courts are called upon to de cide. Mrs. William C. McDonald, of Tenafly, holds the affirmative: William Perry, of the same place, the negative.
