"But words sre things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling Ilka dew upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think."
Such was the Judgment of one of the masters of our
English tongue who knew how to clothe a burning
thought In powerful and appropriate language. It Is a
pity that we do not pause more frequently to reflect
upon the tact that words are so carelessly used, In this
hurrying work-a-day world, and attempt to profit by the
reflection.
It is not merely the beauty and strength of faultless
rhetoric which demand this, though it would seem that
started In the right direction It Is quite as easy to speak
and write our native language correctly as It Is to use
It Incorrectly. We become amusing when we say—to
use one of the familiar Illustrations of a modern Llndley
Murray—''! saw a man digging a well with a Roman
nose," or "This monument was erected to John Smith
who was murdered In 189— by his brother as a mark of
affection."
There Is a world of Interest and of beauty In the
origin and development of words and In the study of the
Structure of our language. The difference In style—the
clear Anglo-8axon of Tennyson, for the most part, as dis
tinguished from the heavy lattnlsm of Dr. Johnson, the
sonorous grandeur of Gibbon as distinguished from the
nervous Irregularity of Carlyle, all give us something of
an Insight Into the variety and complexity of language
and enable us to acquire a atyle of our own—and the
French have a proverb that "the style Is the man.”
But It Is not the niceties of speech alone which
should lead us to reflect upon the fact that as a rule
words sre used so carelessly. It Is the careless ex pres
slon of thoughts and sentiments which Is really Impor
tant after all. It was a hasty and unjust review with
which a self-sufficient critic assailed John Keats, one of
the rarest spirits that every Inhabited a tenement of clay
and one of the most exquisite geniuses who ever came
Into the world. But tho vitriol sank Into his sensitive
soul, and although we may not accept It as literally true
that be was "killed off by one critique,” It no doubt has
tened his end. The careless reply of a peasant Is alleged
to have changed the Issue of Waterloo. The confusion of
a few simple words In an order vias responsible for the
terrible charge In which the Light Brigade was mowed
down at Balaklava.
So there was a world of wisdom In the proverb of
Solomon, “Words fitly spoken are like apples of gold set
In pictures of silver.” Just as
"Many a shaft at random sent
Finds mark the nrcher little meant,"
'so the words that are carelessly spoken, winged with
casual bitterness, find lodgment In hearts tor which they
were never Intended and bring on sorrow and suffering
for the years to come. When the Apostle sought to Im
press upon men the Importance of keeping watch and
ward over their dally conduct ho charged them, as the
epitome of It all. that they would be required to give ac
count of every Idle word In the day of Judgment.
The application of this lesson may be appropriately
made every day of our lives. It may be applied to the
purity and simplicity of speech which make for strength
and beauty, and It may be equally applied to "the words
of our mouth and tho meditations of our heart,” which
make for eternal life.
Tsi An’s Parliament.
Tsl An has come Into the limelight again.
It had beau at least a week or ten days since she had
broken Into ttu newspapers, so It was necessary for her
to get busy.
She had probably heard the news that her good
friend, the'shah of Persia, had granted hta people a con
stitutional government, and was therefore and thereby
winning golden opinions from all sorts of people, ao the
constitutional Idea looked good to her.
She went to the back door and called her ministers
apd now there Is to be a conference on the proposition
of establishing representative government In the flowery
kingdom.
This would be an Innovation Indeed. If there Is any
thing further from representative government than the
present system of China we don't know whnt It Is. The
country Is ruled b; the emperor who In turn Is ruled by
his shrewd old mother, the empress dowager, and she
seems to be ruled by her own sweet will.
An amusing old lady she Is. She dies about every
three weeks. At least the cables say so, and there Is
speculation among all civilised nations as to what will
become of China, which, of course, Is to be broken up
and partitioned among the powers and principalities of
the earth.
But about that time the empress dowager comes to
life long enough to deny that she has ever been dead at
all, ao that you could notice It. 8he Is the most perva
sive and persistent force In China today.
She takes the precaution of saying that of course ft
will he a long time before tba people of China are ready
for real constitutional government and that she Is merely
starting a campaign of education. We all know what
that means and so we are not expecting to hear of the
establishment of a celestial douma for some time to come.
But Tsl An Is none the less diverting while she tink
ers with the new plan of government.
The Taylor Ordinance Should Pass.
On Tuesday afternoon the ordinance drawn up by
Walter A. Taylor, chalrptan of the special committee of
council appointed to Investigate the condlvton In AUanta
slaughter houses, will be brought up for adoption by the
municipal body.
This measure provides that these slaughter houses
be made to conform to jiuch sanitary regulations as
will Insure absolute protection to the consumers In this
city and put an end to the shameful conditions which
now prevail In this community.
The Oeorglan was first to call attenUon to the deplor
ably unwholesome manner In which cattle were slaugh
tered for consumption In Atlanta and the Investigation
which followed showed that the situation was Infinitely
worse than It had been painted. When the filth and cor
ruption was such that a member of the Investigating com
mittee literally became III from viewing the revolting
spectacle It Is surely high time that some radical measure
be adopted for the protection of the life and health of the
people.
The measure drawn up by Mr. Taylor will accom
pllsh this end, and nothing should be allowed to stand
In the way of Its prompt enactment Into law. There Is no
higher claim on the paternal care of the city tethers
than the absolute protection of the people from unsanita
ry conditions of all kinds, and particularly from the
Augean filth which surrounds the slaughtering of cattle
and the placing of diseased meat on the market.
The people of the community are already aroused.
They know the situation thoroughly and they are not go
ing to be satisfied with any half measures.
No considerations of self Interest on the part of
those directly concerned In the business should be al
lowed to modify or delay this necessary reform, and
nothing short of the prompt enactment of every provis
ion of this ordinance will meet the exigencies of the oc
casion.
The criminal neglect which has allowed these unsan
itary conditions to prevail so long Is bad enough to con
template. We know not how many good citizen* have
already been sacrlflced to this wanton disregard of the
laws of sanitation. The smallest atonement we can make
Is to put an end promptly and effectively to these condi
tions and bring the slaughter houses of Atlanta up to
the highest standard of cleanliness and health.
The proposed ordinance should be pasbed by a unan
imous vote.

It Is suggested that at an early day the Hon. Richard
Russell, of Winder, will deliver a lecture In this city.
The Georgian feels reasonably safe In promising Plain
Dick a. crowded house If he comes to our town. People
of the capital city were anxious to bear him during the
progress of the campaign. As they did not enjoy that
privilege, wo think there still wraps around him enough
of the glamor and prestige of his heroic canvass to draw
a packed hourfe to hear what he has to say after the bat
tle Is over. There Is no doubt of the fact that Plain Dick
Is one of the most picturesque and attractive characters
In our state politics today and we feel sure that the
people of Atlanta will be glad to pay him back In the
price of a lecture ticket a part of the campaign fund he
eked out so superbly and heroically in his eloquent can
vass. We trust that the Dick Russell lecture will mate
rialize.
wish him Godspeed In Ills best efforts to arouse every
restraining force In the ranks of his own people to save
the republic from the tragedy toward which It Is Inevita

There Is a couple In Washington city who will defy

A Negro Editor’s Comment.
The Georgian la In receipt of a letter from Editor B.
J. Davis, of Tbe Atlanta Independent, expreaslng tbe be
lief that this paper does' not wish to punish the Innocent
along with tba guilty criminals of the negro race, and as
suring ua of his full and hearty sympathy with our ef
forts to suppress tbe criminal Instincts of the race. The
letter and the clipping from the current Issue of The In
dependent which Is Inclosed Is worthy of comment.
Editor Davis Is perhaps tbe ablest negro editor In
the 8outh. Since assuming charge of The Independent he
haa demonstrated upon more than one occasion his
brains, his discretion and his capacity to be Immensely
useful to his race' and the civilization In which we live.
He is right In thinking that no white man desires to
punish the Innocent negro, but we take It to be true from
the caliber of hla editorials that he has read enough of
history to know that the mass must frequently suffer from
tho continued and unchecked outrages of a few of Its rep
resentatives. And, the point which we make to Editor
Davis and to other negroes of the higher class to which
he belongs, Is that tho Innocent must Join with all their
hearts and hands with Ihe belter clement of the white
race to terrorlzo and to Intimidate the criminals of the
negro race.
The extract from his paper which Editor Dnvla In
closos Is headed "Lynching Does Not Prevent Rape,” and
while he asserts fairly and earnestly and more than
once his earnest condemnation of the raplat, we would
suggest to him that hla editorial devotes by far tbe
greater part of Its space to the denunciation of lyneb law.
This may be but nntural with a negro editor, but we
Insist upon It that It is not politic at this time and that
It does not give to tbe civilisation of this dangerous perlsd
that full and hearty co-operafon which It demands for
the suppression of the crime. We give Editor Davla full
credit for the strength of his expression against the rapist
but we suggest to him that the time Is past when much
space can be given lo a protest against lynching. We
agree with him and with every other right thinking man,
that lynching la deplorable and awful, but Editor Davla
and tho real of his race may aa well understand what all
the rest of the world Is learning, that lynching Is here to
stay until rape la done away with.
The best way for Editor Davla and all other strong an<J
Influential negroes like him, to prevent and destroy lynch
ing Is to consecrate their columns nnd their brains and
their Influence to preaching hell and damnation to ntgro
rapists In such thunder tones that It will penetrate to
their ears In the country and to Ihclr understanding In
the cities and will enlist the whole tremendous force of
public opinion among the negro race to coerce and Intim
idate the fiendish criminals who are bringing the whole
race into disrepute.
It Is uot an unworthy appeal for Editor Davis to ask
If we with to punish the Innocent, and wo appreciate the
thoroughly legitimate spirit In which his appeal la made.
But the trouble with hint and with others who are equally
sincere In their cooperation with the white man in the
supremacy of law. Is that he forgets that the criminals
of his race are punishing the Innocent and Incomparable
women of the South with a retgn of terror which they
have done nothing to deserve, and which the men who
love them are sternly and unflinchingly determined that
they shall not longer endure. *
We commend Editor Davis and the proper spirit of
his editorial, but would suggest to him that he make It
stronger, that he suspend for a time his denunciation
against lynching, until he and his fellows have Impressed
upon bis whole race the tremendous and thrilling purpose
which Is pulsing In the aroused and Indignant veins of
Southern manhood today.
There la yet time If he and his contemporaries are to
do this, to avoid the catastrophe which is Imminent.
But the time Is short and growing shorter, and we
Georgia at Jamestown.
With tha subsidence of the political storm there
comes easily the revlral of Interest In all matters of In
dustry and development
Along this line there presses upon us now a large
concern for the display which Georgia la to make of her
history, her reaourcea and her splendid prospects at
the Jamestown exposition of 1907,
Tbe appropriation of Georgia while not lavish was
cordially and heartfully given. And, Jn the prudent and
patriotic hands of the commission In which It has been
placed. It will doubtless be sufficient to make Georgia a
splendid and Impressive figure In the dress parade of
commonwealths at Jamestown.
No single man In connection with this appropria
tion has been more vital and more influential than Pres
ident W. N. Mitchell, of the Georgia' commission, who
Is himself a Virginian as well aa a Georgian, and whose
ceaseless and optimistic labors have been an effective
force In securing the appropriation, and will be equally
effective In making the exhibit a comprehensive and con
spicuous success. Mr. Mitchell has worked with Infinite
tact and tireless patience, patriotism and courage, and
commands the full confidence of the state and of the ex
position.
Associated with him as faithful co-laborers, have
been the Hon. Martin Calvin, of Richmond, Commissioner
Thomas Hudson, of the department of agriculture; State
Geologist Yates and 8. R. Field, of Cordele.
It was a very proper and appropriate compliment
which his excellency, the governor, gave President Mitch
ell when, after signing the bill making tbe appropriation
a law, he turned and presented tbe silver Instrument of
signature to Mr. Mitchell as an evidence of his own high
appreciation of the commissioner’s admirable work.
With the able co-operation of the commissioner of
agriculture and the state geologist Joined with the ex
cellent aid of Mr. Calvin and tbe general experience of
Mr. Field, Mr. Mitchell wilt at once bogln to marshal and
to put In array the exhibit* which Georgia la to present
to the world at Jamestown. With the exhibits already
In evidence from other exhibitions, and with the ex
perience gathered from those great fairs, the commis
sioners feel fully persuaded that Georgia's exhibit will
not be overshadowed by that of other commonwealths
lined upon Hampton Roads next summer.
We feel sure that no appeal Is needed, for every re
source In Georgia which can minister to this display
Is going to give with heartiness and with zeal, not only
and primarily for the glory of Georgia and Its good re
pute among the nations, but because of our love of old
Virginia and our desire to put on our best clothes when
we go to see Its ancient but honorable celebration.
The Georgian Is confident that with all the environ
ment of sentiment, of loyalty, of history and of Inspira
tion which wraps around the scene and location of the
exposition of 1907, that It will be one of the most charm
ing If not the most charming of all the great fairs that
have been held within this generation.
Alas, that Yaraab the goat cannot be here to share
In the rejoicing!
There are a number of people who have Just had
time to realise that there are campaigns In other states
this year.
EDITOR LOYLESS OF AUGUSTA—Our right band
to you. Col. Tom Loylata, of The Augusta Chron
icle. Your gallant and generous telegram was
entitled to a more generous answer. We do not
wonder that It required five telegrams to explain
It. Two years ago from under tho shadow of de
feat we sent a telegram similar to yours and your
answer came back straight from the heart of the
manly and generous gentleman that you are.
We recall you as one of the men who are not
easily spoiled and made dictatorial by victory.
GORDON INSTITUTE.—One of the oldest and most
honored of the preparatory schools of the South
Is Gordon Institute at Barncsville.
It has reached the years of an adult, and they
are indeed honorable years. Every one of them
Is filled with service to the youth of Georgia and
with a good record In tbe building of character
and equipment for the future of the state. It la
now among the largest and best preparatory
schools In the South, and the marvel of It Is that
Its growth has come without any other help than
the patriotic support of the people of Bamesvllle.
The battalloq of cadets Is said to be the largest
In the South. It Is under the most excellent dis
cipline and thoroughness Is ode of the things
which has made It successful and famous. An At
lanta man, Mr. B. F. Pickett, of the Unlveralty of
Georgia, Is the new president, and the next term
opens with a full and swelling enrollment and ra-
- dlant promises of continued usefulness and pros
perity. Located aa it Is In the center of tho state,
In the beautiful and cultured city of Bamesvllle,
Gordon Institute is one of the things of which
Georgia is, and has a right to be, Justly proud.
Some of the first and best men of the state are
the alumni of this Institute, and there are few
schools which retain /rod hold more affectionate
confidence and regard among Its graduates and
students than this useful and effective academy.
The Georgian, which la a sentinel upon the
watch tower of education, congratulates Gordon
Institute upon Its past‘and present, and predicta
a noble and successful future.
THE GEORGIA MILITARY ACADEMY—Atlanta Is
coming to be Justly and heartily proud of that
splendid Boys' Academy which has grown to
fame and to usefulness under the name of Tbe
Georgia Military Academy.
Instituted and established six years ago at
College Park by Col. J. C. Woodward, the Georgia
Military Academy baa become one of the highest
ranking schools In the South. It Is known from
Virginia to Texas, and Its roll of students In
cludes representatives from twenty states.
Col. Woodward la one of the moat Impressive
figures In the Southern educational field today,
and la destined to larger tame and usefulness In
the future. Out of a single building he haa de
veloped a college campus and an equipment that
Is suggestive of a genuine unlveralty, and per
haps no school In the South la batter known and
more enthusiaatlcally pralied than this famous
suburban academy of Atlanta. The new term
open* under condition* of unprecedented pros
perity, every vacancy being filled, with a score of
boys on the waiting list. There Is a new fac
ulty carefully selected, and an equipment both
physical and Intellectual that Is unsurpassed In
the South.
Among the new teachers who will take their
places at the opening session of the Georgia Mil
itary Academy Is Miss Minnie McIntyre, formerly
of Atlanta, but more recently of Waycross public
schools, but who it remembered by the patrons of
this famous sohool as one of tbe finest and most
popular and Inspiring teachers that ever filled a
place In the college faculty.
The Georgia Military Academy la rapidly
plucking the laurels from those great Virginia
and North Carolina schools at Pantops and at
Davidson, which have heretofore held thfi parnf
among preparatory educational Institutions of tbe
South.

Our Pig Iron Production Doubles in Sixteen Years.
The strongest sentiment that can stir the civic mind and heart Is pa
triotism. and the man who believes and assert! that the land In which he
lives Is the beat and brightest on the face of the earth goes a long way
towards making that estimate true.
We all known. In a general way, that this Is the most fertile and in
viting section of the country or nny other country and that our people
are prospering aa they never did before. But ft Is particularly gratifying
when day after day the serious minded Investigator who takes the pains to
grub Into the documentary evidence can produce so many solid and sub
stantial facts to fortify and vindicate hie cttlxen pride.
On yesterday It was shown that Atlanta's average growth In the mat
ter of new buildings for the month of July, as compared with,July of
last year, was more than twice as large as the average growth of the lead
ing cities of the entire country.
Today we present some facts as to the growth of the pig Iron Indus
try In the entire South. It la a proverb that Iron Is "the barometer of
trade,” nnd, according to that hypothesis, we are flourishing, Indeed.
Haslng Its figures on the reports of the American Iron and Steel As
sociation, The Manufucurers’ Record shows that during the first half of
this year Southern furnaces produced 1,705,859 tons of pig Iron, un In
crease over the same period In 1905 of 1(1,115 tone of 3,2<0 pounds each.
Comparison by States for the two periods Is made In tha following table:

In the second half of 1(05 Southern furnaces produced 1,(76,802 tons
nearly * per rent, more than the production of the first half of that year.
8hould a similar percentage of Increase be made between now and the
end of the year the total production of pig Iron for the South In 100( will
be about >.(((,000 tons, or more than double the output of the South In
1890.
Continuing, The Manufacturers’ Record says; "Oratlfytng aa that
prospect Is, comparison of the productions In the first six months of 1005
and 1906 In the South with those In the rest of the country Indicates
that the South Is not maintaining Its potential pace ns an Iron producer,
for tbe Increase In production In the South >vns from 1,643,871 tons to
1,708.856 tons, or by 1(1,985 tons, equal to 10.4 per cent, and In the rest of
'the country It was from 9,(19,804 tons to 10,897,045 tons, or by 1,377,741
tons, equal to IS.3 per cent. Ano'ther Indication of the South's not living
up to Its possibilities In this connection Is the fact that of the sixteen
furnaces In course of construction In the whole country on June 30, 1906,
but two were In tbe South, and they In Alabama. There are Important
moves under way tending to the larger development of the Iron and steel
Interests of Alabama, but the time has come when the South should make
far more progress In this Industry than It Is now doing.”
