But he cannot make him drink without he will. —Heywood. 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. In this week’s er*s Record sayi "What Is apparently the Inevitable In outward-bound ebmemree of the United States ts indicated by the In creasing trend toward Southern ports of bresdstuffs for exports. For a num ber of years that tendency has been marked and In the main has been In creasing, notwithstanding occasional lagging, due rather to a slackness In the whole export movement of bread- stuffs than to anything else. It Is strikingly demonstrated In the Increase by values of breadstuff exportss at Southern ports during the fiscal year Just closed over the preceding year, the comparison being presented In the fol lowing table: Increase of Southern Exports ie the Msyiufactur- Dl stride.

Another big water-power develop ment for electrical purposes In the South Is Involved In the announcement that plans have been completed for the development of 12,000-horse power Immediately and 28,000-horse power ultimately at .a point on- the Yadkin river, eight miles from Rockingham, N. C., and that the construction of the necessary means will be carried for ward as rapidly as possible. The d* veloplng dam IS to be located on the Yadkin will be 1,060 feet long and 46 feet high, built of concrete, and the first Installation of machinery will be for the delivery of 12,000-horse power unless contracts shall have been mads for the delivery of more than that be fore the dam Is completed. It being es tlmated that a total of 28,000-horse power can be obtained and distributed by electricity within a radius of 10 miles of the plant. Contracts for the construction of this dam for the electrical" equipment and for the water wheels have been award ed. The site of the enterprise ts In a district where probably 700,000 are engaged In growing cotton or manu fkcturlng It, and within the 60-mlle radius there are at least 50 cotton factories using about 26,000-horse power developed by steam, besides other Industries. Illustrative of the scope of timber operations in the South ts the an nouncement of the Incorporation of a *500,000 company In Texas to develop 40,000 acres of hardwood timber land In two counties of that state, the op erations contemplating the erection of at least two mills at a cost of *260,- 000 and the building of 20 miles of rail way. • IN LIGHTER VEIN.

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. GEORGIANS IN ATLANTA. AT THE ARAGON. J. A. Peacock. Dublin; W. C. and J. II. Henderson. Valdosta; Fred O. Davis.

TWO RAGING DOGS SLAIN BY OFFICERS Two mad dogs had their day In At lanta Monday and will frighten no more cltlsens with the thought of hy drophobia. Both were shot before they had bitten any one. A. E. Arnold, of 369 Rosser street, called the police station Monday after noon and reported that his dog was showing signs of rabies. Call Officer Payne went to the house and found the dog, which made a dash for the officer. One ehot ended the animal’s troubles.

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.

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. GEORGIANS IN GOTHAM.
