April 9, 1808. at tb* Poatofflea at Atlanta, Cia.. under act of coo arena of March I, 1178. We Applaud the Legislature. Tbs legislature whose life expires by limitation on Wednesday next will close Its session smld the applause and respect of the people of Georgia It Is doubtful If s better and more admirable body of representatives has assembled In Georgia since the war. Certainly no body of lawmakers has ever come so near to doing what the people asked and expected of them, or refrained more prudently from doing what the people would not have them do. Prom the beginning to the end of the session not a acandal, political or peraonal, hna marred the hlatory of either house: no feud or quarrel between memberi ha a been recorded; no nsperalon from any aane or au thoritative source haa been leveled at the Integrity of either chamber, and the work of legtalatlon and appro- prlaUon has proceeded evenly, smoothly and rapidly In progressive spirit to the approaching conclusion. There has scarcely been a session In which more work was accomplished and In which so little time wan consumed In talk and speeches. The measures which tbo legislature haa rejected are few In number and some of them may yet be enacted Into laws' before the gavel falls on Wednesday's closing seaslon. Of course the body has not been shove criticism—ys few bodies ever are—but In the main the legislature of 1500 may be char acterised as a body of more than ordinary ability, of great Industry and deflnlteness, and of a distinctly form ed ipirit of progress and reform. ... Among the good things which the body in Its present session has accomplished Is the triumphant passage through both houses of'the Child tabor bill. It has established a court of appeals for the much needed relief of our supreme court staggering under an overweight of bualneaa. It has answered the moral appeal and the business appeal of merchants and farmers In the Boykin Backet Shop bill. - It has touched the spirit of our public affairs by tbs Wright bill for pure elections. It has responded to a need of the times and of the people In providing for the election of railroad commis sioners by the people. It has answered for Georgia the appeal of our dear slstor of Virginia by an appropriation to represent the state at the Jamestown Tercentennial of 1807, and It has bsen prompt and gsnerous In dealing with the necessities of our educational Institutions. It Is even now In Dual and we trust favorable con sideration of the. Hall-Csndler tax assessor bill, of the stgte auditor blit, of the Gordou monument appropria- tlop for $11,000, of the Wright pure food hill and of the Wheatley bill for a lieutenant governor of the state. ’ It haa also under what we trust will ba a high and patriotic consideration the sntl-psss bill whloh surely ought to be promptly enacted Into Isw. Truly with such a record the eminent body of Geor gians In session at the capitol deserve to go home on Wednesday next to receive from their constituent* the plaudit "Well done, good and faithful icrvants." i-nts and some aoMcvemeuts of Gordon i ts. | reporter*. We call attention to those we think of at the • tnrill In the hearts of e In moment, and ask correspondents to avoid them. There j Southerner, those same are few writers of absolutely correct English. Who shall ' Judge whether any wrtter’a English is faultless? Some of the most forceful and graceful writers are guilty of many minor Inaccuracies. The refinements of the lan guage can hardly bo practical or reached by the busy writer who writes for the passing moment and who per haps sees his jvork only In the hurriedly scanned proof. But there Is a practical side which should ho observed In the Interest of economy or of common sense. There Is no excuse for tautology unless It be hurried writing, writing affords no excuse. Two Sidcs'to the Peachtree Paving Question. It seems that thare are two rides to the question ot | Cure! the paving to be put on Peachtree street, and It occurs to The Georgian as only Just that both sides of a public question should be given to the people who are Interest ed In Its settlement. There are a large number of people In Atlanta who are earnestly in favor of an asphalt pavement for Peach tree, and with this class The Georgian has been disposed I placed on the capitol grounds This sum. a ided to the and Is still disposed to side. There are, however, Just amount already raised by private sulsicriptlon. will In- as many signers of a petition for a bltullthlc pavement j sure an Imposing monument, and one in .every way wor- Thc Gordon Monument. / The people of Georgia cordially commend the etate legislature In appropriating the sum of $1$.000 for an equestrian atnfuo to General John B. Gordon, to he . An Appeal to Noble Sentiment. In a practical age like this a great people oan never afford to turn their backs upon a noble aentlmeut. And under this general statement there cannot fall to ,come to every Georgian a tense of approval and ot Indorsement to the bill Introduced and now pending In the *Oeorgls legislature to appropriate $8,500 to re pair the old capitol at Mllledgevllle. now used ns Ibe main building of the Georgia Military college at that point. • A thousand memories circle about that historic building to endear It to the love and veneration of the people of Georgia. Within those walls, now so sadly needing repair, has been enacted much of the noble and enduring history of the state. Here thundered the giants of our earlier days. Here pealed tho organ notes of that great debate which led to the separation ot Geor gia‘from the .ederal pnlon. Here were voiced and from- | cd some of the policies that led to the earlier days of rneonatructlon under home rule. And the echo of a thousand tfoble speeches and a thousand noble volcea of great Georgian* now dead and gone and locked In fame, circle about the ancient rafteri and the arched walls. It Georgia has a dollar In Its treasury. It might well be apent In keeping Intact this stately and Immortal monument to the legtslaUve history and the forensic greatness ot the state. Beyond this nobly sentimental reason there Is n practical and material consideration. The old capitol is now tho home of the Georgia Military college, which has Just finished Its twenty-seventh year of work, and within, that time has sent out hundreds of teachers who are doing now nnd will continue to do a noble work In the public schools and for the education of Georgia's youth. It has representatives In all of the institutions tor higher learning In the slate. One la In Harvard univer sity, and on* in Cambridge University, in England. The school registered In Its last session 640 students—103 boya In barracks from half a hundred counties In the state, and representing In all six Hates and three for- ajgn countries. Four of the school's graduates h<*d comm lesions In the United Btates army, one a captain and three first lieutenants. Three of these young men won their commissions In competitive examinations, go ing direct from this Georgia school Inlo the army. Cap tain Robert E. L. Bpence. of the Thirteenth United Slates Infantry, a graduate of West Point nnd n colonel of volunteer* during the Spantsh American war. Is the commandant and Instructor In military science, with an equipment furnished by the government and valued at $5,000. The lata General I). H. Hill declared that this school was doing the beet work for the education of the poor wys of Georgia of any school In the state. It does not Mist Georgia anything. It Is maintained by local taxa tion. It la training on an average 75 boya every year more or lews, completely for future service to the state, absolutely free. The city of .Mllledgevllle, in which It Is located, has donated to Georgia for educational purposes j the following turns: The G. N. ft I. O., $22,000; for the I as there are for the asphalt petition and about the number of feet frontage It la also true that many of the signers of the petition for tn asphalt pavement sub sequently signed for the bltullthlc pavement. The Impression which has been sown that the bltu Ilthlc la a cheap pavement and not at good as the as phalt, seems to ba without foundation. According to tho statement of Its advocates the bltullthlc Is one of the highest priced pavements and Is laid on some of the most fasblomUrle streets of our larger cities. Its price Is higher In Georgia than that of asphalt. The reason that it can be put on Peachtree street at half the cost of asphalt 1a that the Southern Bltullthlc Company tins offered to furnish all the labor and the paving plant free of expense to the city. By unanimous vote the county commission offered to this city free use of Its bltullthlc plant and tho labor neceaiary to place thq pavement and all the material at coat price. The Southern Bltullthlc Company offered free of charge one of their expert and most scientific superintendents to guarantee a perfectly laid specimen of this paveme/it on Peachtree street. And the Impression Is that the desire to make a good lir> preaalon with this new paving material will give tn Peachtree street the beat work that the highest experts and the moat skilled laborers of the bltullthlc company can produce. It la claimed by the bltullthlc company, who were formerly asphalt contractors, that the bltullthlc pave ment la a more durable pavement than the asphalt, that It Is equally smooth, that It Is not In Jhe least degree af fected by the sun or by the gasoline dropping from auto mobiles. and that It I* equally pleasant to the touch and to the sound of horses' feet. It Is also claimed that the bltullthlc doe* not require the long waiting that the asphalt does to harden, but that It hardeoa quickly and permanently,. It Is not affected by water and does not rot. . Bltullthlc Is composed of large pieces of stone firmly bound together, while asphalt la composed of sand which by reason of Its small grains cannot ba ao firmly bound together and Is therefore not .no durable. It Is equally free from mud and dust and does not have the slippery surface as doe* the asphalt, and wh»rever It has been laid It hfiii given the most abundant satisfac tion and has outlasted all other pavements. The county commissioners who seem to be thorough ly Interested In this new pavement are oonvlnced of Its superiority In that the model city of Boston, the cities of fit. Louis, Birmingham, Nashville, Mobile, New Or leaUs, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Portland and Cleveland are Using this pavement with complete satis faction. To the people In Atlanta who are Interested In the subject and dealre to aee for themselves the native and the operation ot the pavement, It may be said that Gordon, Park' and Lee streets In West End nrn now pared with bltullthlc and offer an opportunity to Inter- eated parties to Inspect the quality and effectiveness of this work In making up their opinions for thn further use of this pavement In Atlanta. The Georgian has not a dollar at Interest, neither prospective nor present, In this affair. We have not now and. du not expect to receive one dollar of advertise ment from the bltiinthle people. Our previous preju dices have, been toward the asphalt pavements, and we sra even now entirely Impartial between them, but this Is at least a matter of genuine municipal, Importance, mod as one side only of the question has been heard In the columns of the city press, It Is at least fair that the other side should be, presented and an object leason offered ns the means by which the people Interested can mskq up opinions for themselves. Concerning Errors of Speech. Up In Tennessee they have been having some news paper controversies about the niceties of grammar. The question whether n plural verb be used after the word “none" baa led to a heated dispute, although It should be final that "none" Is merely a contraction of "no There are even those among the unenlightened who contend that "he don’t" and similar expressions are Jus tified by usage, all of which Is arrant nonsense to be sdre, and merely shows how the word carpenters are born to error at the sparks fly upward. But The Nashville American hat taken this discus sion as a hook on which to hang a few commonsense Il lustrations of the more frequent and unsisputed errors In grammar which It Is quite worth while to pass along. Among them are: "The widow of the late” Soandso. Elide "the late.” "Young girl." All girls are young. Ladles or women may be young or old. When a girl ceases to be young she Is a woman. Close proximity" Is equivalent to "close nearness." which doesn't sound well. "John Smith died here yesterday afternoon at I p. It ought not to be necessary to suggest that "after noon" be omitted. "Mr. Brown Is an octogenarian, being 80 years old." Certainly he is, if he is 80 years old. The. present Incumbent." Many reporters commit this error. Cut put "present." "They have snsplcloned him for some time." Of course "suspected” Is the word that should be used. "She la a poor widow, woman." A widow ts usually woman. "The funeral obsequies will be held tomorrow." Cut out "funeral” or "obsequies." Unconfirmed rumor." When a rumor Is confirmed It ceases to be rumor. "Unconfirmed rumor” Is not a good expression. The Infsnt -child.'’ If a child Is not an Infant an Infant may be reasonably supposed to bo a child. There are no Infant adults. Happened id an accident." Thla expression la com mon. Nobody happens to an accident. Judge Smith was shown a paper." This Is n case of the cart before the hone. "There Is no doubt but that.” Cut out the "but,” A* The American points out, many errors similar to thy of the name and fame of tho great captain who has entered Inlo rest. 1 j . The general assembly of thi Mate of Georgia Is not much given to oratory. It Is essentially a business body, nnd there aro few members, whatever may be their ability, who havo the Inclination to Indulge In high flown eloquence. But the tributes to General Gordon on the occasion In question rose spontaneously to the lips of tho various members who sat In that august body, and the feeling tributes paid to the memory of the dead commander were among tho most touching and Inspir ing ever heard In the historic capitol. It Is well that this should be so. It Is hoped that the time will never como when the name and. tho glorious ery Georgian and of every walls have nine time and again with the matchless eloquence of Gordon him self, for there were few men In the state who could hold an audience more completely captivated by the magic spell of hi* eloquence. It was but one of the many talents which this great and gifted man enjoyed, fn peace he was the friend and advocate of fraternity and of a generous forgiveness of the sins.of the past committed against tis. He was a leader In the rebuild ing of the Touth. and the restoration of that commercial greatness which had been swept away by the ravages of war. In conflict we all know what he was. The military annals of no country In either hemisphere record the achievements of a mor; heroic figure—a man to whom, the roar of battle only lent q courage and skill which the bloody exigencies of tho hour supremely required. In'-all the long list of Southern leaders be stands with out a peer, except the Incomparable Lee himself, whose right hand he was. Tbla pre-eminence is undisputed. We know It and feet It now. But the (light of time works many changes and a busy people are Inclined to forget With a new generation arising. In the midst of a commercial and In dustrial activity where sentiment has but little place, there la but too much probability that the memory ot the great men of the past will suffer unless they are properly perpetuated. This monument to Gordon In the capital where he served ds Chief executive will go far toward keeping his memory green. It was a fitting tribute to his fame and his high ability as a soldlqr and statesman, but It will stand as a yet prouder monument to the gratitude of the people of Georgia and their determination that bis shall remain among “the few, the Immortal names .which were not born to die." .

We recently prest nted some facta showing the marvelous Increase In the value of farm .lands In the r.'o-i-.h. This has Inspired an observant and In telligent correspondent In Florida to send the following communication to Th* Georgian, which will be read with Interest and pleasure: To the Editor if The Georgian: Under the heading of “Growth and Progreaa of the New South," I would like to give you a few brief facte that have come under my personal knowledge In the past five years. • I came from Georgia to Jackson county, Florida, five years,ago. Dur ing my first year here a tract of land of several thousand acres went beg ging for some months until It flnallg sold for leas than $1 per acre. In leae than two years tha'. land was sought for at $1 and up. Today none of It can be bought for leas than $5 and some tliat has been put Into culti vation will bring $15. Another case: Three years ago I .made a trip to Georgia In order to Interest aome moneyed friends In a land deal of several,thousand acres that we could h«ve bought at $3.6# per acre. I failed to Interest them. This land sqld In less than six months for $4.50 per acre: In lees than a year It sold for $7; today $10 won't buy It. One more case and I am through: ' The first of this year a tract of several thousand .acres wai told for $3—no Umber on this land, all had besn milled. I am getting today for this land from $5 to $10 per acre, and the end la pot yet. Two- three ami flve-dollar land Is sopn to be no more down herb. Yours truly, R. s. RODDEN'BERY. Marianna. Fla.

To the Editor of The Georgian: Savaral months ago the Georgia di vision of the Daughters of the Confed eracy Issued a circular letter appeal ing to the community to aid In the erection of a monument to the memo ry of Captain Henry A. Wire, who In IMS wan tried by a commission, was convicted end was hanged, this under the auspices of the federal power fol lowing a few months after ths assassi nation . of Preaidant Lincoln. It Is claimed and believed by thousands of loyal men and Women In the South, and possibly by some of the broader think ers North, that Wlr* waa the victim, of a preconceived and datermtned verdict; that Instead of being a "Convicted Fel on" be was, and la, the victim of those who Inflamed by passion and desiring a victim of soma sort, accepted thla friendless foreigner, who unable to summon and produce his witnesses, be came the "ecepegoet," suffering the extreme penalty for the sins of others; refusing to save his life by a deed of treachery, and submitting to the Inev itable rather than to do a dastardly deed Involving others, high In position; briefly, w# stttrin, and having seen the evidence renfllrm, that the condemna tion snd execution of Wlr* was not Justified by the evidence, and that he waa not guilty as charged. It Is more than thirty years since I began to examine the pro and con. and having arrived at conclusion In accord ance with above declaration, I wllllng- '! undertook the task of sounding pub- c opinion a to the advisability or at tempting to undo, so far ai possible, a great wrong. The result Is Interesting. I have be come a target and the recipient of many letters, mostly *>f an unfrlendly naturs, but almost every one protesting One charming and Intelligent writer from New- England pays high tribute to the valor and good qualities of General Lee, Gordon and others, and afllrms that the Fouth "had th* ablest gener als, but your Jefferson Davis was not to be compared with our Abraham Lincoln." (?) He adds: "Don't attempt a monument to'Wire at Andersonvtlle!'~ Here too ta a candid admission: "Be- tween you and I It would make little difference In results, whether Wire waa guilty as charged, or not. so long as the thousands who suffsrsd there, and thtlr million of friends, bsllsve he wee, and cannot be convinced to the contrary." From an Indiana city near to the bor der come warnings, almost threats, of possible action by congress at solicita tion of some one of the "Patriotic Or ders," whloh shall prevent the erection of any monument at suggested within ten miles of any federal cemetery." Another asks, "How long do you think such a monument would be |>er- mltted to stand?" To this and much else I do not attempt reply. . In a paper reqrt before the “Loyal legion" n member adds at the cloee of a paper giving account of some person al adventure at Libby prison fn the summer of 1862 this significant para graph: "In the right of subsequent events comments are of little avail. It Is not necessary for me to attempt a description of this fiend Incarnate or to rail attention to the difficulty—nay. Impossibility—of ua who encountered these events, to allow memory to have Its play and yet have a deep fellowship for those thus engaged to deetroy a government so grand In possibilities. The cry wea 'treason must be msd* odious, possibly the subsequent treat ment of those who Instigated and eon- ducted the rebellion was best; but I know that the feeling mast came to us at times that Justice was cheated, and the Inlqultlee of thoae tad days were unrequited." My personal belief and conviction la that the South owes a debt, that the Is In honor bound to pay this debt; Juet how this can be done le as yet a mat ter for examination. We need a monument which af firms the truth, that the Confederata authorities were not responsible for the suffering at Andersonvlle, but that the refusal to exchange*prisonera as declin ed by the United States military com mander was the one vital effective fac. tor In perpetuating this Infamous con dition where prisoner anil guard* suf fered and died, being victim! not to personal hate, or cruelty, but to the necessity of prevailing and overcoming the foe. So the sacrifice was made and their cause triumphed nnd now wa are E ut on notice that the truth should not e told, but that we are to forgive and to forget, t must believe that the mon ument should be built and the Inscrip tions so modified as not to Iritate thoae who come yearly to visit the graves of those who perished there, martyrs In deed, victims of the spirit of war, which Is always cruel and dastnictlva. WILLIAM RILEY BOYD. GROOMING THE DARK HOR8E. To the Editor of The Georgian: Your brilliant editorial under the caption, “A Great People and a Mad Campaign,'; at first glance elicits the commendation of thoae who, deplore the unfortunate political circumstances In Georgia today and silmtre clean, courteeus and fair conduct In ‘ public and private life. You will not regard ine Impertinent, presumptlous or dis courteous, I thust, If I suggest that the effectiveness of your editorial waa se riously Impaired by a courteous omis sion. This may have occurred by ac- rjdent, or It may have been Intentional. The omission refered to Is this: After discusing with remarkable di rectness and fellrlty of expression the real attuatlon, pointing out with Im pressive truthfulness the very unhappy situation that hna arisen from the mate of Inuendo. sarcasm, Insinuations of personal corruption and general charges of Infamy and unfitness upon the part of all the co.idtdatea In the race for governor of our great state, you politely and courteously make It appear that all are honest snd upright men, omitting to set forth the fact that everyone had tn some nay villlfied an opponent, mnklng charge* of corrup tion In private or political life some where. The fact that any one.nf these gentlemen who are In the race has de scended to so low n plane as to Indulge In unfavorable nnd hurtful erttlelsm of his opponent renders that candidate morally and ethically Ineligible to the high position to which he.asplrcs. This, Mr. Editor. Is vour omission. Pardon me for suggesting It; I mean no per sonal offense. Now, your cartoonist furnished for The Georgian of August 8 a suggestion of the relative standing of the several candidates ns they run. on the "home stretch." toward the goal. In the rear Is. very naturally, a dark horse. He Is lithe of limb and seemingly not weac. It Is true, his color Is black, but who knows but that toward the end of the race he may be transformed Into a magnificent snow-white charger In the person of some true, clean patriot of unspotted record, private Ufa untouch ed by the dirty hand of scandalised publicity and heart generous.' 4i#rolo and brave? . w . , How glorious It would be, sir, Ir the great people of our great common wealth would stir themselves and, ris ing In their strength, put the seal of everlasting condemnation upon the dla- gracefu! conduct which has been pa raded before the world by certain men and newspapers of Georgia during thla campaign by electing some man who has thu abllty and the character that will fit him for the high office of chief executive, but who has not the political ambition to offer himself nor the en slaving devotion of some ring or news paper corporation to drag his name end reputation into the miserable mess to which the people of Georgia and the South have been treated during recent months passed. For this high position, Mr. Editor. I suggest, as the real "people's candi date," Colonel J. C. C. Black, of Augus ta; Colonel Isaac Hardeman, of Ma con, or some other disinterested gen tleman of their type. Tours, truly, ' O. 8. DEAN. Porter Springs. Ga., Aug. 10, 1904. INDOR8E8 THE EDITORIAL.
