Georgia’s “Home Coming.”
Public Interest Is beginning to concentrate on the
Home Coming and Infare for former Georgians which will
be one of the most notable and deHghtftd features of the
state fair next fall.
Beginning on Wednesday, October* 10, and continu
ing for the succeeding threp days, there will be a list
of attractions designed especially for the pleasure of
the returning sons and daughters of Oeorgla, together
with their deseendants, who have wandered oft to. other
states and made their homes.
It Is estimated that there are at least 410,000 native
Georgians now living In other states of the union, while
the descendants of these people run far Into the millions.
They have made a success In the various lines of endeav
or which they have undertaken, and wherever they have
cast their lot have reflected honor upon the state of their
birth and lineage. Many of them have risen to eminence
In the counsels of the nation. In law and medicine and
all the professions, In commercial and Industrial life, they
have carved a name for themselves In their adopted
homes. , .
But each and every ono of them Is proud of the*old
mother state, which once embraced that Imperial empire
extending from the mouth of the Savannah river to the
banks of the Mississippi. In the midst of all their busy
activities their hearts respond to the name of Georgia
and they find themselves Involuntarily repeating:
, "Where'er I roam, whatever land I see.
My heart, untraveled, fondly turns to thee."
It was a happy Inspiration on the part of the manage
ment of the state fair to plan a home-coming for these
sons and daughters of Georgia. There pi pleasure for
them In returning to the red old hills of Georgia at any
time, to mingle with the friends and companions of their
youth and to breathe the fragrance of the sun and the
soil which blessed their childhood, but there is a mani
fold charm In returning at a time when they can not
only mingle with the people of Oeorgla, but with one
another. It will be In the nature of a reunion In which
tho friendships of earlier years will be renewed on the
part of all the wanderers, who could not hopo to meet
each other under any other circumstances.
The program for the three days of the reunion has
been arranged with an eye to the fullest enjoyment and
the most appropriate ceremonies. The first day will be
devoted to registration of visitors, the assignment of
badges and Informal meetings. On the second day there
will be addresses by distinguished sons of Georgia resi
dent hej-e now or living In other states. On the third
day there will be an old-fashioned all-day singing, when
John Howard Payne's "Home, Sweet Home” will be sung
by a chorus of 6,000 voices. The author of this Immortal
song once lived In Georgia, and he sent the original man
uscript to his sweetheart. In Athena, who treasured It as
long as she lived.
This interweaving of the' memory of John Howard
Payne, the author of the most touching domestic poem
In any language, with the patriotic sentiments which
the name of Georgia Inspires, would In Itself render the
occasion a memorable one from every point of view.
Blanks are being sent out broadcast to Georgians
throughout the country whose names and addresses are
known, and they are requested to fill them In and there
by Intorm the committees of their Intention to be pres
ent, where they will stop, and other facts necessary for
making the record complete as far In advance as possi
ble. It Is hoped that there will be a general response to
this appeal and It is hoped at any rate that the date will
be borne In mind and that there will bo thousands of
Georgians from all parts of the country on the occasion of
the great Home Coming.
Alabama’s Manufactures.
The census bureau has recently Issued a report on
the manufactures of our sister state of Alabama for the
year 1905. .
These figures show that while there has been a de
crease of IIS In the number of establishments, the total
capital Increased $46,SIS,966, or 76.1 per cent, and the
value of products, 187,069,993, or 61.4 per cen; while the
average number of wage-earners Increased 9,461, qr 18
per cent, and the total wages, 16,966,768, or 46.7 per cent.
The decrease In number of establishments was due almost
entirely to the large decrease In the number of estab
lishments reporting lumber and timber products.
The reports of the twelfth census' show 6,602 estab
lishments in Alabama, with 52,902 wage-earners, and
products valued at 180,741,449. Of these establishments
2,000—employing 62,711 wage-earners and manufacturing
products valued at $72,109,929—are comparable with tho
class of establishments Included In the census of 1905,
when the number of establishments reported was 1,882,
the number of wage-earners, 62,173, and the value of prod
ucts, $109469,922.
Of the establishments reported 78 per cent were In
the rural districts in 1905 and 81.9 per cent in 1900. The
value of the products of rural establishments was 80 per
cent of the total for the state In 1905 and 73.6 per cent
in 1900. With the exception of a dearease In the num
ber of establishments In the rural districts, both urban
and rural localities showed Increases over 1900. The
rural districts showed the larger percentages of Increase
In capital, total wages, cost of materials, and value of
products, while the urban districts showed greater per
centages of increase In the number of establishments and
In the number of wage-earners.
The 1,312 establishments reported In 1906 for the 11
selected Industries formed 69.7 per cent of the establish
ments, represented 86.6 per cent of the capital, employed
87 per cent of the wage-earners, paid 88.1 per cent of the
w ages, and reported 86.1 per cent of the value of products
for the state. Tbeae proportions are about the aame ai
those for 1900.
Measured by value of products tha manufacture
of Iron and steel ranked first among the selected lndus-
Iii.-S both In 1 mill 111 Till- ii.iiiMnnl to'limtry,
including blast furnaces and rolling mills and steel works,
showed an Increase of 4 In the number of establishments
reporting. The capital. Increased $13,130,810, or 82.6 per
cent, and the value of products, $7,294,876, or 4L9 per
cent. The number of wage-earnera Increased 1.362, or 18.7
per cent, and the wagee, $993,488, or 40.6 per cent The
remarkable growth of the industry Is emphasized by the
fact that In 1906 there was more than nine times ai much
capital as In 1880, over five times as many wage-earners,
and more than sixteen times the value of products. There
were 19 establishments reporting blast furnaces and 10
reporting rolling mills In 1905, as compared with a like
number reporting blast furnaces and 6 reporting rolling
mills in 1900. •
Between 1900 and 1905 for the pig iron branch of the
Industry the capital Increased $7,738,694, or 66.8 per cent,
and the value of products, $3,168,024, or 23.4 per cent.
The number of wage-earners decreased 80, or 1.6 per cent,
but the amount of wages paid Increased $557,191, or 40.;
per cent. Between the two censqzes the total production
of pig Iron In the state increased 268,101 tons, or 22.8 per
cent The state gained also In its percentage of the
total production of pig iron In the United States, the
Increase being from 8.3 per cent in 1900 to 8.9 per cent
In 1906.
In the total production of pig Iron Alabama ranked
tenth In 1880, third In 1890, and fourth both In 1900 and in
1906. In the manufacture of foundry pig Iron the state
ranked first In 1905 snd In 1900; In the production both
of basic pig Iron and of forge pig Iron, second In 1905
and third In 1900; and In the production of white, mottled
and miscellaneous grades, second in 1906 and first In 1900
Steel works and rolling mills Increased In number from
6 In 1900 to 10 In 1906. The capital Increased from $5,
392,216, or 124.6 per cent; the value of products, $4,136,-
862, or 104.9 per cent; the number of wage-earners, 1,432,
or 66 per cent, and wages paid; $436,297, or 40.7 per cent.
The most marked Increase In rolled Iron and steel was In
blooms, slabs, billets, tin plate bars, and sheet bars pro
duced for sale, which Increase.! 31,726 tons, or 104.4 per
cent, In quantity, and $1,021,215, or 119.7 per cent, tn
value. A large output of steel rails wag .reported In 1905,
but at only two establishments were engftged In the In
dustry the quantity and value cannot be shown without
disclosing individual operations. No return was made for
steel railB In 1900.
Cotton manufacture shows tho largest actual Increase
In number of wage-earners and In value of products
of any Industry In the state. This industry ranked sec.
ond in 1905 and third In 1900. There waa an Increase
of 16 In the number of establishments reporting. The
capital Increased $13,119,292, or 112.7 per cent; the value
of products, $8,607,196, or 105.6 per cent; the number of
wage-earners, 3,148, or 37.8 per cent; and wages paid
$976,703, or 88.8 per cent The proportion of wage-earners
In this Industry Increased from 15.8 per cent of the to
tal for nil Industries In the state In 1900 to 18.6 per cent
In 1906, nnd the wages paid from 9.9 per cent to 11.2
per cent.
There were 768,087 produolng spindles reported In
1905 and 411,328 In 1900, the Increase being 346,769, or
84.3 per cent The' number of looms Increased from
8,649 to 16,669, or 83.2 per cent In.addition to this ma.
chinery In the active mills, 6,000 producing spindles were
reported for mills that were not In operation.
Relief for the Supreme Court.
The governor. In hie recent message to the general
assembly, called attention to the crowded condition of the
supreme court dockets and urged upon that body the pe-
comity of taking Immediate steps to provide for a qourt of
appeals, In order that the Interests of litigants may not
suffer because of the Inability of the judges of the su-
preme court to decide the vast number of cases brought
to that court within the time limited by the constitution.
At the general election hold In October, 1896, the peo
ple ratified an amendment to the constitution, which In
creased the number of justices from 3 to 6. The cases
brought to the October term, 1896. and the succeeding
March term numbered 778. In the past ten years this
humber has Increased about 60 per cent, the cases dock
oted at the' October term, 1906, and at the March term of
tho present year numbering 1,166.
This Increase tn litigation Is due to the remarkable
growth and development of the state, especially In the
southern portion, which has brought about an Increase
of 40 per cent tn the taxable value of property since
1896. . .•
The time has come when It ie no longer possible for
the six Justices of the supreme court to dispose of the
cases which come to it from 145 superior courts and 67
city courts. When the supreme court was reorganised,
there were only 137 superior courts, and 13 city courts;
within the past ten years, the need of more city courts
has been felt, and their number Is being Increased at
every session of the legislature.
The right of appeal should be preserved, as It has
been In the past under our constitution, so that every
dtlxen may be assured of his right to hare hli case
heard and determined by a court of review. This right
Is not accorded to the citizen of some of our slater states,
where bond Is required before an appeal can be entered,
or heavy cost bills are Imposed to deter the small lit!
gant from prosecuting his case, or where only cases In
volving a considerable amount may be brought under
review In the courts of last resort.
The policy of our own state has never been to Im
poae restrictions upon the right of appeal which prohibit
any but the rich from enjoying the benefits of a review,
ing court sustained at the expense of the public. As
the governor has well said, justice should be adminis
tered "freely without sale, fully with out any denial, and
speedily without delay,” In every case, great or small.
The practical question of meeting the emergency by
creating another court which will share the burdens with
which the supreme court Is overwhelmed Is now before
our general assembly. It can. no longer be Ignored. Up
on what plan another reviewing court should be organ
ised Is a matter of moment, doubtless, but no difference
of oplnlou upon this point should be permitted to delay
legislative action.
Under the provision! of our present constitution,
the supreme court Is required to dispose of every case at
either the first or the second term after it reaches that
court, and It for any reason a decision Is not made within
the time limited, the judgment of the trial court must
stand affirmed, whether it be right or wrong.
It will be but a mere matter of time before mauy
cases taken to the supreme court must share this fate,
unless relief Is afforded the justices promptly by decreas
ing the number of cases with which they are called on to
deal. The (mint has already been reached where It la Im
possible for the court to heaq oral arguments In any but
a small proportion of the cases which crowd Its dockets,
and litigants have been dented thla privilege only because
of the impelling necessity of attempting to deal with all
alike and decide their cases before the court loses juris
diction to do so under the constitutional provision
above referred to.

creasing trend toward Southern ports
of bresdstuffs for exports. For a num

JEROME, ROOSEVELT AND THE
JUDGES.
From The New York World.
With all that Mr. Jerome said In his
Georgia speech In reproof of President
Roosevelt for having criticised to a
message to congress Judge Humphrey s
decision In the beef truit cases The
World Is in the fullest accord. It was
protesting against Mr. Roosevelts
amazing conduct months ago, when Mr.
Jerome was so busy trying to thwart
the ruling of Judges and prevent the
Indictment of George W. Perkins that
he had no time to protest against pres
idential Indiscretions.
But who ts William Travers Jerome
that he presumes to censure Theodore
Roosevelt for criticising a judge? Is It
worse for a public official to criticise a
specific Judge for a specific decision
than to make reckless, sweeping, un
substantiated assaults upon a judiciary
us a whole? .
The World hae no Intention of apol
ogising for Mr. Rooseyalt or of condon
ing his offense against good taste. But
tn complaining of Judge Humphrey a
decision the president dtd not hide be
hind general statements; he did not as
sail the whole federal Judiciary, and
he did not Insinuate that Judge Hum
phrey was dishonest or corrupt. He
complained that the ruling of the court
come "measurably near making the law
a farce" and that In his opinion It
would not be followed by other judges,
but he dtd not say and never has said:
Worst of all Is an elective judiciary
_i thousand times more terrible than
those ofilces I have referred to. I was
educated to be a lawyer, and had In
stilled to me a desire to reverence the
bench. And now, gentlemen, I have no
reverence. I have not even everyday,
common respect for the Justices of the
supreme court of the first department.
The man who made this reckless and
Indefensible attack upon the judiciary
was not Mr. Roosevelt, but Mr. Je
rome. .And he made It not once but
twice. His speech before the City Club
last November was only a repetition
and an elaboration of his Chautauqua
spesrh of the previous August. When
he was urged by an almost unanimous
press of New York city to designate
the unfit judges he replied that he had
nothing further to say. He had said,
"Thare alts on the bench today more
than one man who directs his business
affairs from the bench.” When asked
to give the name of even one such Judge
he refused, preferlrng to lump the good
with the bad and let the public be
lieve there was evidence to show that
the entire Judiciary was unfit, un
worthy and corrupt.
If Mr. Jerome thtnke Mr. Roosevelt's
criticism of Judge Humphrey "hae not
commended itself to our profession,”
what does he think of his own assaults,
made without name or specification,
upon the Judiciary of a great state?
Child Labor In ths South.
Chicago Record-Herald.
It Is gratifying to learn from an At
lanta dispatch that both houses of the
Georgia legislature have passed, at last,
a child labor bill. We say "at lost"
because several previous efforts to pro
cure such legislation had ended Jn com
plete failure.
The bill Is far from being a “radical'
anti-child labor measure,-according to
Illinois standards, for Instance. It pro
vides that no child under 10 shall be
employed to any manufacturing estab
llshment; that no child under 12 shall
be so employed unless he or she has
no parents and no means of support,
or unless such child Is the sole support
of a widowed mother or an aged and
disabled father; that no child under 14
shall be employed at night, and, final
ly, that no child under 14 shall be
given employment unless he or she has
attended school for a prescribed period
and can read and write.
When we consider that even milder
bills than this encountered bitter op
position In the past we are not sur
prised to hear from impartial Investi
gators of Southern labor conditions
that "far too many children are em
ployed" to the Southern mills and fac
tories. Not only are the anti-child la
bor laws that have been enacted In late
years In every way Inadequate, but the
enforcement of them often leaves much
to be desired. Miss Gertrude Beaks, the
author of an elaborate report, made for
the National Civic Federation, on con
ditions In Southern mills, says that em
ployers violate the child labor law be
cause labor Is extremely scarce and the
majority of the operatives expect their
children to work. In several states
there are no compulsory education laws,
no provision for truant officers, no fac
tory Inspection, no proper registration
of births. In these circumstances the
mere enactment of a law raising the
age of child labor la only a alight step
In the right direction.
There te much work before the en
lightened employers and the humanl
tnrlnns of the Southern states. Georgia
Is behind nearly all her sisters, and,
therefore, even the very moderate
measure of reform represented by the
law above summarised Is regarded as
a notable achievement for her pro
gressive and public-spirited cltlzen-
ehlp. We may add that a juvenile
court bill Is pending In the Georgia
legislature.

LITTLE BOY DIES
OF HYDROPHOBIA
Lacey Deese, the 2-year-old eon of
Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Deese, of Jackson
ville, Fla., who wee brought to Atlanta
on July 8 for the Pasteur treatment on
account of being bitten by a maddog
at his home In Jacksonville, pn July
died at the Pasteur Institute at 11
o'clock Monday night.
The child was bitten badly, and
though brought to Atlanta, the dread
disease had already secured such _
foothold that nothing the doctors could
do was of any avail. His sufferings
were something pitiful to see, but for
tunately the little fellow was uncon
scious for a large portion of the time.
His mother brought him to Atlanta,
and was with him until ths’end came.
The body was taken to Barclay &
Brandon's undertaking establishment,
but no funeral arrangements have as
yei been announced pending the arrival
of the father from Jacksonville.

New York, July 2J.—The eye's ths
thtog at Newport this seafon. “Ey».
ology,” with "eyeographs," occupies the
time of the fashionables. It is now
good form to exchange eyeographers
with friends.
These photographs of the eye are In.
dexed and placed In a small album, to
which Is attached a short set of rule,
for reading the eyes, but tor a perfect
character all rules fall and Inspiration
through concentration IS sought after
Some of eyeology character delines.
tlons that have been mode are as foi
lows:
The duchess of Marlborough ha, a
coy expression, nnd the width between
Mrs. Willie K. Vanderbilt's eyes show*
her to be broad-minded.
Mrs. E. R. Thomas' eyes are Indie*,
tlve. of clear Judgment.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth's eyes hav,
an occult expression, and Mrs. Reggie’*
are Oriental.
The duchess of Manchester's eyes
would Indicate a dreamy tempera-
ment.
Mrs. Alfred GWynne Vanderbilt's
eyes say that she Is practical.
A thoughtful concern lurks In Mrs,
Clarence Mackay's maternal eyes.
Mrs. Phil Lydia’s eyes are almost
childish In their frankness.
Mrs. Anthony J. Drexet has truthful
eyes and a fearless temperament, and
Mrs. John R. Drexel'a eyes are sad, but
never hopeless.
Mrs. Joe Weldnert eyes have been
universally conceded to have the most
mirthful quality.
The quietness of Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt's are the moat puzzling of all.
I see the announcement that the navy
ll short 3,000 men of Its complement
and there is difficulty In filling the
ranks with proper material. It alwayi
has aeemed strange to me that more
bright young American boya do not try
a term or two of enlistment to the navy.
The advantages are many. In the
first place, a boy Is'taught thoroughly
the lesson of discipline and obedience
of orders. They are taught to be neat
and careful. The life Is not hard, every
effort conslatent with the good of tha
service being made to make thlnga
pleasant for the young sailors. They
are well fed, well housed and well paid.
If they desire to remain In'the service
and are willing to work hard enough,
they can achieve a commission In time,
or with less work can become warrant
officers. If they so desire, they can
become experts In a number of trades
which offer good wages ashore, when
they leave the navy. X am no recruit
ing officer for Uncle Sam, but I will
say there are many worse things a
bright young fellow can do than to
serve Uncle Sam aboard one of his
battleships for a while.
Confronted by a situation that would
have bewildered most women, the wife
of County Judge Frederick Crane, of
this city, rose to heroic height In sav
ing her 10-year-old daughter and the
latter’s playmate from death by
drowning in Great South bay.
The Crane* have a summer home at
Sayervllle, L. I. The daughter and her
little friend went, bathing' day after
day. Both Jumped off the end of a pier
yesterday from which they could see
the sand simmering at the bottom of
the bay.
They misjudged the depth, and sank.
Wave* swished them ont of reach, Just
a* Mr*. Crane arrived. She heard their
cries, and without divesting herself of
a single garment, leaped In. In spite
of the great handicap of her attire, the
mother swam up to the girls, brought
them to the shore, and then fell, ex-
haunted.
Richard T. Wilson, Jr., son of the
prominent banker, has undergone a se.
rlous operation. Reports say he Is do-
tog well. Mrs. Wilson, his wife, was
present during the operation.
