They corrupted the officers of the law and bought returns and had the election declared In favor of granting the franchise*. The cltlren* formed the Honest Election League and carried It to the courts. The boa*** for then corpora tions threatened the Judges, and those that they could not Intimidate they of fered to buy. They offered a retainer „f 130,000 to one Judge to go to Call- fornla for three months. He was en forcing the law against them. He failed to go, but published them. The corruption here by the great corpora tion. Is open and violent.

Mr. Jordan suggested a better one, or a remedy? j What position would the* farmer be In as to marketing his crop should the present method of future quotation.ser vice be abolished? Has he any guar< Antee that factors, spinner* 1 agents, etc., would quote him honest prices? or would the Southern Cotton Associa tion keep him posted as to this? Mr. Jordan's theory sounds very well on paper, but It will not work In prac tice. The South la juat beginning to take on the more progressive Ideas of the large business world, nnd thereby enjoy her share of the world's prosper ity. It Is too late now to go back to ancient,methods. It does not seem to me that the method Is so much at fault, but the trouble lies with those that are using It. Members of the cottqn association have been taught to buy futures through the excitement created In dis tributing literature broadcast In their midst, claiming unreasonable prices for cotton. Mr. Jordan should use his energy In a strenuous effort to purge the asso ciation of these errors, and In tho meantime it seems to me the old fable as recited by Aesop, with which we are all familiar, very aptly fits the case: "The oxen once on a time sought to destroy the butchers, who practiced a trade destructive to their race. They assembled on a certain day to carry out their purpose, and sharpened their horns for tho contest. One of them, an exceedingly old one (for many a field had he plowed), thua spoke: In the Declaration of Independence, a paper eschewed by the Republican par ty long before Hell Roaring Jake Smith properly designated It for the party as "A damned Incendiary document, not fit to be,read." You will remember, possibly, that Senator Spooner's opinion, expressed on stump after stump, In defense of hit party's conduct, was the same, stated lest profanely. If anything could be more or less profane than another that dared to touch those sacred truths of man's eternal rights with thought or word or hand un*»net!fled by love. This It Is and more of the same kind that made Jordan a hard road for Mr. Cum mins to travel for a while. But that is over now. The battle was fought some years ago, the victory won by the peo ple for the people, and today he Is for his state what LaFollett© Is for his and with that compliment, the high est I could pass upon him, I leave him to continue his fight for the peo pie—and he will. JUNIUS. BEER AS A TEMPERANCE DRINK. THE BIBLE. To the Editor of The Georgian: Man came into the possession of property (the earth) and into p'**- resston of his physical and mental powers to appropriate and use this property to maintain his physical and mental powers before he had any re- llgfon, morals or beliefs In regard to his mission for the future. The race cannot be any different In Its growth, physical and mental from that of the child. The Bible (gives a history of a na tion who are the leading or eho*en people of the book. It gives in Its general outline the growth of this na tion from one Individual (Its infancy) to the millions which figure from first to Inst In Us pages. Side by tide It shows up the physical and moral growth of these people, and demon strates that these people never sur rendered up their property rights to their God's moral decrees, but made It appear that God surrendered hi* moral decrees and adopted their moral de crees based upon their Idea* of prop erty. The book states that when these peo ple were slaves, they prayed for and God gave them their freedom, he prom- bed them a country rich In every thing. That they were to conquer It and he masters of slaves, not only of the conquered, but of the weaker mem- hns ot their own race a* well. The Book also states that when they *• t to the borders of the promised land. God gave them ten law* which they must not violate. These ten ldwa^forbld every act ■ l whirh they committed In taking poa- ■ *re«-(..n of Palestine. When they got possession of Pales tine, they get up a code of law* dl- m tly the opposite to the ten, and signed God’* name to them. Under thex, law* they traveled the broadj and ki: h d road of conquest to the days of Titus and the Roman legions. Then their laws and their gilded throne of conquest, or violation of th* ten com mandment*, went to seed, and the K' m.’n legion* reaped the crop. Se* lah. The prime object In the Book I* thus to show that the ten laws of m ’fcs are get In th* firmament and written upon the foundation stone* of the earth, as a warning 'against the , at Titus and are for all men and all rare* for aU time. They net up a condition of freedom, ,* h of person and property, and pro claim a coming day or condition, In whu-h none of these law* can or will ** violated. Israel defied the thunders and the Hfhtnlag on Sinai, and the ten; but H,, 2P* avenged and vindicated the ten. The book states that at the sight M'<«es and God hid their face* behind Ik e L ou< * on Sinai, and Jesua sat upon hill overlooking Jerusalem, and DIAMONDS. Matching stones is a spe cialty with us. We have a superior collection hint we are able to fuftiish almost anything you may desire. rhe values are fine, un- usually so just now. Maier & Berkele. wept over the closing; time and chap ter. David,, the greatest king, In his last days, repudiated conquest and blessed Solomon as a man of peace. Instead of the property and life rights of all, as In the ten, they choose the Indi vidual property rights of the strong and the cunning, and Titus. What Is recorded In this book may never have happened; It may be a novel, but the facts stand out that It will lit any nation In history, simply by changing the names and place*. All of tho great Christian nations, so called, have taken up the philosophy of the Israelite* and their property right Ideas, and have made a religion of them, and each one of them are In search of a promised land and a "Ti tus." When the last Titus shall have arrived on the acene, what then? Ar mageddon? The signs Indicate the appearance of the last Titus, and ermgeddon. The Bible, then, Is undoubtedly a historical question, and a historical question can be made a religious ques tion, Just as our fancy dictates, but the religious cannot obliterate the his torical. In the ten, there Is no threat of any punishment, consequently they are simple notices. This Is so, because to threaten pun ishment l« to incite fear, and fear be gets Insanity. Insane people cannot be expected to do right, and herein Is the divine wisdom In the ten. The lass followed by Israel, ended with threats or punishment. This made them In sane, and Titus was the logical se- Qucncfi, • Dr. J. W. Lee, of Trinity Church, In Atlanta, proved that fear was because of Ignorance. The arrall&y to this le that to produce fear Is an act of Ignor ance. Any religion then which teaches or causes fear to enter the human heart or mind Is the religion of Ignorance. A religion to be good must leave thla ° U The religion of property Is based upon fear. There Is no other way to make Individual property rights sa cred. The religion of fear Is based upon Individual property rights, which In cludes conquest and wars of auch kinds. . The ten wipe all slavery and prop erty rights off the map, and proclaim the time of universal freedom, but set up no religion. This Is to establish the fact that when man gets to the point that he will be free, he will have the knowl edge to know what It means, and how to enjoy It. Thus, ns he Increases In knowledge, he has Iss of fear, and when his knowledge has eliminated all fear, he will cease to be religious. He will have wisdom Instead. ' As long ae man Is possessed of Ig norance and fear he will have s re ligion with a hell In It and with this banner flying, a la Don Quixote, will travel straight to meet tils Titus. Thus we take our choice ae to the Bible teaching the doctrine of a hell or not, for all people and for all time. Perfect love (knowledge) casteth out all fear (religion.) Thla from the book Itself. M * A. THOMAS. July l«. l»o«. A FABLE AND ITS MORAL. To the Editor of The Georgian; Vou have been severely critclsed by Mr. Harvle Jordan regarding the posi tion taken (n your editorial concerning the legitimate cotton trade. The po sition taken by you is the one indorsed by the best business men ot the North in our great business centers. Mr. Jor - dan has been at the head of the cotton association for about one and one-haK roars, and probably has learned some thing In regard to future contract deal ing In that time, but the business In terests I mention above hare made a close study of these questions for gen erations, both In this country and abroad- Does Mr. Jordan suppose for one mo ment that hie efforts or the Influence of the cotton association can eyer have the effect of putting an end to thla great business?

To the Editor of Tlje Georgian: It seems that you were slightly awry In your editorial concerning Governor Cummins, August 2. There has never been a man, perhaps, In either of tho old parties who has emit more clearly the trend of corporate power to i he destruction of Democracy as conceived by our fathers and enunciated In the Declaration of Independence than the Hon. Albert li. Cummins. He brought the rallroade to a full atop In his state with the suddenness of a bumping post. He was a candidate for the senate In 1899. The railroads, having charge cf Iowa politically then defeated him. Knowing (hey could not use him, that he was an unswerving patriot, a man unalterably fixed (n his devotion to right, In his love for the well-being of the people, they sought to destroy him politically. That was the opening of a fight between special privilege on the one side and the people, headed by Mr. Cummins, oh the other. In 1901 the people, because of his decided stand against the great transportation cor porations that had so long been rob bing the state fore and aft, made him their candidate for governor by nomi nating him on the first ballot. He was elected and the hold that tho railroad* had for years held on the throat of the Mato was shaken off. In less than thirty Hays after he was sleeted the stuff of which he was made was p#t to test. Both houses had passed what was termed the Malsberry jfll, a bill removing the debt limit of corporations. The bill was gotten up In the Interest of the desired merging of the Great Northern and the Chica go, Burlington nnd Quincy railroads, at the Instigation of James J. Hill, headed by J. W. Blythe, chief attorney and general political manager In the state for the railroads. It Is hardly necessary to atate what giving (he corporations tlia privilege of assuming unlimited obligations would have meant nnd led to. It only lacked the governor’s signature of being law. Every possible means was used to Induce him to sign It. every preesure brought to bear, but bo didn't. In stead, he gave them thla; "This bill proposes to take off, for the first time, every limitation, and confer upon a class of railway companies a privilege which within the limit of my Investi gation Is without a parallel in modern legislation. I cannot bring myself to believe that this species of legislation Is consistent with public good or neces sary for the legitimate development of railway property; on the contrary, It le my firm belief that corporate power to Issue stock* and Incur Indebtedness needs regulation rather than expan sion.” That was In 1901. True, Indeed, as yon say, ho does not hold the present tariff schedule In such sacred esteem os the ruling element of his party does, but It Is his stand against corporate greed, hla stand for the rights of man against the privilege of money, that has endeared him to the people and turned the corporations and their ally, the Republican machine, so bitterly against. As a member of the executive council h* caused the ratl- roade to pay taxes on property valued forty-five mltliona of dollars higher than It had been up to that time, giving to the state at large forty thousand more dollars It was entitled to from these corporations, and to the counties six hundred thousand dollara more. It Is the things of ffhlch these are typi cal that have embittered those en trenched behind wealth all but filched from the pockets „f the people that make those who don’t know the spirit of an aroused people doubt the Issue of this campaign. Mr. Cummins Is a Republican only In' name. He believes To the Editor of The Georgian: In one of the Atlanta dallies, under dale of the 17th Inst., there appeared a flve-roJumn half-page advertisement of a browing establishment. On the right side of the mi a drummer stands with his grip and bending over clasps the hand of an old man. Over the young man’s back appears the following words; "Congratulations arc In order.” Between the two men appear tho fol lowing words: "Always welcome," This should call forth a storm of Indigna tion from the mountains to the sea shore among temperance people, both ngnlnst the brewers and a paper that would print and send out such rot to the rising generation. To advertise It all Is bad enough, but when a combi nation Is formed to Justify and dignity It by saying It Is a temperance drink Is rubbing It In too deep. It Is tho neat'”* akin to "Demetrius, tho silver smith" (Acts 19:24 to 39 verses), of anything that I have seen In the twen tieth century. For « number of years our church, tho Methodist, has talked about getting up a dally, a paper free from advertising whisky and other like rot, and not to be run on the. ftahbath day.

To the Editor of The Oeorglan: Now that the much-needed court of appeals la a certainty, It Is In order for the people to cast about for suitable occupants for the new bench. I wish to euggeat the name of a gentleman who Is pre-eminently qualified for the position—-Frank II. Miller, Esq, of the county of Richmond. He has been n lawyer since he attained hla majority. His practice on the civil aide of courts has been, nnd still la, large and Impor tant. He Is without fear and without reproach. Learned In the law, he Is a gentleman of broad culture and high scholarship. He has made hla own bright, clean record, but It will not lie amiss to state that lie Is a son ot the Honorable Andrew J. Miller, who passed Into the other life In 1859. Andrew J. Miller represented Rich mond county twenty consecutive years In the senate tin<! was two sessions president of that body. He was him self an eminent lawyer. Ills son, Frnnk H„ suppressed, If he ever cher ished any political ambition. He has lived up to the Idea that the law Is a Jealous mistress. Mr. Miller's life has been active In the public Interest along educational and similar lines, lie Is a methodical worker, so that today, while past 60 years of age, he Is very much younger than his birth record would seem to Indicate. He would grace the bench of th» court of appeals—bringing to the Judgeship every gift nnd every quallfi cation demanded by so lofty and Im portant a position. LAYMAN. Atlanta, Ga., August 7, 1908.

J. K. Lovelace, which appeared In The Oeorglan on the 14th on "Eter nal Damnation.” ■t Is not my purpose to critlalae the principle thought or Idea that he sought to establish, to-wtt: The eternal tor ment or damnation, as he expressed It, of the wicked Is untrue, for In that he Is correct. He does not seem to recog nise the Tact that the doctrine of the eternal torment of the wicked la tin* scriptural, but he seems to have ar rived at the conclusion from the stand point of reason, while, In fact, It la un reasonable, God dishonoring, blaaphr mous and an unacrlptural aa anything could possibly be. The principle object that I have In view In writing this article le to cor rect the erroneous Idea prevalent In the minds of nearly all professed Chris tians that eternal damnation nnd eternal punishment are synonymous with eternal torment. Eternal damna tion and eternal punishment need not necessarily be eternal torment, but eternal torment would be eternal damnation or eternal punishment. Ho Bro. Lovelace uses an Improper term to express eternal torment, when he speaks of It as etsrnal damnation, for while the Hcrlpturee nowhere apeak of nor teach the eternal torment of the wicked, they do most assuredly teach the eternal damnation or eternal pun- lehment of the wicked. To explain: Adam for Ills sin of disobedience was condemned (damned—that le what the word condemned means) to death, and all of his posterity fell under the same sentence of condemnation (damnation). But (his condemnation, or damnation, that fell on Adam and all hla race la not an everlasting condemnation, or dam nation, neither Is It an everlasting or eternal punishment, because God has made a way of escape for Adam and his race from, tills condemnation, or damnation, of death through Christ nnd In due time Adam and nil his rare will bo released from the Adamic con demnation, or damnation, which was the result of tits sin »f disobedience. Hence the Adamic condemnation, or damnation, will end in the resiirree- Hon, and consequently Is not an ever lasting damnation nor an everlasting punishment. There are no conditions whatever to a release from the Adamic damnation. "Jesus Christ by ths gruca of God tast ed death for every man," which Insures the resurrection of ei cry one of Adam’s raco out of the i-ondemm d, damned, condition Into which they have fallen. But If Ood had nmdo no provision for a release of Adam nml his race from the Adamic damnation It would have been nn eternal dnmnnllon, an eternal death punishment, because It would never end. Our Ijord also suffered the samh damnation Hint was Inflicted on Adam, not by reason of transgression, but "He nte an offering for sin," lie , out Hie soul, even unto death, that Justice might be eatlafled and Adam and hla race go free of the Adamla damnation. And since the glorl-ms morning when Ha aroee triumphant over death and out of the Adamic damnation He holds In Hie hands th« key of death, nnd In due time will open the prleon houses of death and releo.a the captlvea. Rut a release from the prison ho mc of death, the Adamic condemnuil-n, damnation, does not Insure eternal life to any one; It only given them an opportunity of escaping a second dam nation. a second death, a death fn-m which there la no resurrection anil no recovery, and thla second death pun ishment, this second condemnation, or damnation, will be an eternal damna tion whim la the eternal punlshmmt of the wicked. "Chrlel dneth no more.” There remalnetlt no more a sacrifice for sin. Those who Incur the penally of the 'second death,” the eecond condemna tion, or damnation, will be those who reject the terms of the "new covenant” sealed by the precloua blood of Christ, who choose death rather than life, represented by the goat claw in the parable of the sheep and tha gimte. “These, the goat elasg, shall go away Into an everlasting punishment,” not torment, the second death punishment, thn second Condemnation, or damna tion, “hut the righteous Into life eter nal." One Into a cutting oft from life, (he other enters Into eternal life, restored to all that lyas lost In Adam, repre sented by the sheep class. The sheep class spoken of In this parable Is n -t Hie church class, the saints of the w — pel age as most Christians seem to think, berauae the saints are already enthroned and reigning with Chrlat during H4n mlllenlnl reign and assist ing In the separation of the eheep from the goat class. And this mlllenlal reign of the Christ (head and body united) le the judgment qr probation day of the world, a thousand-year-das-, when all will have an opportunity of return ing by the "highway of hollnees" bai k to the linage of Ihe Creator and to all thut was lust In Adam. It Is to be a day of blessing instead of a day of cursing. Rut I must cut this article short, last It go Into the waste basket. 1 may make further reply lo other statements In Bro. Ixivelure's article at an enrly day. In conclusion let me say that net only the wilfully wicked will be pun ished with the second damnation, but everything that Is out of harmony with God will be utterly destroyed, Including the Devil and all his angels, nnd drath Itself as well aa aheol (hell) HMi. 3:14, Ilosrit 13:14 nnd others.

To the Editor of The Georgian: I have noticed of late a Urge num ber of gray horse*. It Is said that when you nee a gray horse there la a red-headed woman In the neighbor hood. In commendation of red heads, persona of that colored hair generally hold old age better. Then It may be that the dark horeea are hid out until the election for governor la over. Thla would bring the white horeea more In evidence. By the way, th# aelectlon of dark hones for governor baa not been a Now, there’a going to be a whole lot of young fellows of the kind who watch the clock, sleep on the ehelf, are usu ally half an hour late, who will put Up a big kick because they are com pelled to do all thla extra work with out any extra pay. They forget (hat the employer le under no obligation to give them, a holiday or a vacation on pay, and that while they are away nqtne one must do their work. And to they kick, growl and whine about the mat ter and make the atmosphere of their office dlxxy with the bluea and heavy with wrath. But the wlee young fellow In the office, no matter his position, doea not growl or complain at the unfamiliar tank or Ihe additional work. If he finds be cannot get through With hi work at the appointed time he doesn’t raise a pandemonium because he Is compelled to work a couple of hours to catch up. On the countrary, he Is glad to get out of the work; glad to learn something about tha other man’s work; glad to do the work, to the beat of his ability, of the nun who Is a little high er up than himself. , And you will And this wise young man doing the very beat that he enn to discover the secret of the higher man’s success. IIo wants to know hoe; the higher man makea hla short cuta. And a careful study of hla books may reveal It to him. Bo he Is content to work. Mure than this. The wise young man knows that in every office there are frequent, or at least occasional, changes. He does not know just what moment the wind of fortune Is going to bring promotion to the man whose work bo la now doing, and he. the wise .young man, be asked to fill the vacant place. Vacation time Is, therefore, the op- portunlty-of the wlso young man who remains at home and doea other work than hla own whlla the others are away. How true thla la illustrated In this fact: A young man hunted for work with all the atrenuousnesa that Is born of the consciousness of a wife and two little children at home who needed what hla wages could bring lo them. The only work he could find was a position on a freight elevator In one of our large stores. Lon- were the hours, toilsome the work, but the remembrance of wife and baby at home kept him to his task All summer he worked, and then all through the win ter and spring. Through another sum mer and winter, until spring and an other summer came round. Never los ing a day, never taking hla vacation. Worked for the sake of hla dear ones Then came hla opportunity. The win dow trimmer waa away on hla vaca tion. George, the elevator man (only that wasn't hla name), waa aaktd to work tate helping the assistant window trimmer, A certain effect waa desired In silks and flower*, and lha assistant could not carry It out. Presto! the window scheme was a delight, a dream and a Joy.

If they ere not paved, should not bs made dumping grounds.
