Why should he not be happy when
at hit side floated another Soul-bird,

They laughed, not a hideout, deri

but the care-free laugh of the Moon
light. Then they laughed again and
laughed foolishly, for tney were lover*.
They laughed at the efforts of the
storm-god puny compared to their
love, and then wondered how It was—
their love being no great—they had not
f oind It before. And again they
laughed.
The Storm-god heard. “1 believe you
laugh at me!" he growled.
"1-augh at you!" piped back the
s ul-blrda. “Why we had hardly no

they laughed.

of hit great clammy hands. "Beneath

and he started toward the house. The
strange human, seemingly full of
happiness, ran toward him. He es
caped. Then cams back and tried to
make the human understand that In
the house, exchanged wae the heart
of his heart, but to no avail. Ho, when
at his wits end and there was no other
poealble hope whatever, the soul-bird
turned to the gods. A mighty prayer
he sent up to high heaven that ha
might be given the language of the
human, to he could make the human
understand. The storm god heard and
laughed. Then bethought himself. He
planned n revenge more wicked than
was evTr planned before.
“I will glva you the speech of the
human If you will give In turn what
ever I wish that Is yours," said the
storm god.
"Whatever Is mine you may have If
you will but give me speech," answered
quickly the soul-bird.
"Then speak," said the storm god.
The soul-bird tried, but could not.
"Hpcak,” mocked the storm god. The
soul-bird tried again and again, until
finally he spilt his tongue with trying.
Then he could speak.
He fold his utory to the human, told
It so eloquently that the human sadly
muttered to himself. “Ah, this Is the
voire of the Inevitable. I must release
this soul I have loved and the soul-
bird was released.
The seeker flew to the side of the
freed soul-hlrd, a great Joy rushing
over him. He could not understand’
he fell bark, then went again toward
her.
Hhe knew him not.
Bur a while she hovered around the
little cottage, then started through the
woodland. The soul-bird followed, un
til exhausted by his long labors he
stopped at a limped pool there to drink.
He looked Into the waters.
The setorm god laughed and waved
hts sward In triumph, spread his black
clammy hand over the face of the earth
and again gleefully roared.
The soul-bird standing at the wats-'a
edge understood. Ills reflection 1, -i.e
pool was ns black ns the Inky Yght
through which he and she had been
hurled down, down to earth.
The lately freed soul-bird rose up
Into the henvens. The Haven, the cruel
storm god hnd changed him Into
Haven, tried to follow, but coutd nut
she had gone far above him.
Through the hellish blackness of the
night he returned to earth, while the
storm god still laughed his wicked
laugh of revenge, a revengfc more cruel
than even the gods had sver prepared
before.
And as he dropped through the dark
ness, "1 sliull see her nevermore," quoth
the Raven, "nevermore."
Through the night he made his way
bark to thn pottage, where she had
once been. "I shall enter and shall
lenve," quolh the Raven, "nevermore."
"I shall enter and there remain for
the human therein, loved as 1 loved,
and the one I loved, nnd I will not be
Jealous, for he loved her In her earthly
form, while I loved her aa u soul-hlrd."
Then while the human sat' within
the lonely cottage pondering
Over many a curious volume of for
gotten lore,
Suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping.
Rapping at his chamber door—only that
and nothing more!
Open, then, he flung the shutter, when,
with many a flirt and flutter,
fn there stepped a stately Raven of
the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a
minute stopped or stayed he,
But. with mien of lord or lady, perch
ed above the chamber door—
Perched upon a bust of Pallas Just
above the chamber door—
Perched, and aat and nothing more.
The human was not of the ordinary
clay, as most humans are. He, like
the Raven, had within him a soul, one
that was released for short times, and
he believed the Raven had been a soul-
bird, and asked of hla departed. Rut
the Raven could think of nothing but
the one He had lost, and his tongue
would only form the word, as he
thought, "I will eee her"—the word
"Nevermore."
And the Raven, never fitting, still Is
silting, still Is sitting.
On the pallid bust of Pallas, Just
above the chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a
demon's that Is dreaming,
And tha lamplight o'er him stream
Ing throws his shadow on the
floor:
And his soul from out that shadow
that Ilea floating on the floor,
Shall be lifted—nevermore!

Sociology and Sociological Socletfei;
tha Aim, Objectc and 8cope
of the Work.
To the readera of The Atlanta Geor
gian and those Interested In the soci
ological development of the human race
we dedicate the sociological depart
ment of this paper.
It will appear regularly In each Sat
urday's edition, and we hope to make
It worthy of consideration and a beneflt
to the city, state and nation.
The editorial work will be under
the direction of committees from the
Georgia State and Atlanta Sociological
Societies.
Through this department we hope the
general public will become better ac
quainted with the alms, scope and
work of sociological societies, state and
local.
The sociological matter will be so
printed that those who so desire can
cut It out artd tile It away for future
reference.
Work of 8oci«ty.
As an Introduction we will state that
the Georgia State Sociological Society
was organised and held Its first an
nual session in Atlanta June 24, 26 nnd
26, 1902. This society has met annual
ly since that time and has yielded a
quiet, but effective, Influence for good.
Subjects of vital importance to us, as
a people, have been discussed by the
lending men and women of the state,
which has accomplished much good In
developing a public sentiment along
sociological lines.
This society Is doing active, efficient
work along educational lines and de
serves the co-operntlon and support of
nil who desire to uplift nnd better the
condition of the human race. We quote
from Its constitution:
"The objects of the society are to
organise all the professional, business
nnd Industrial Interests of the state In
the most efficient manner possible; to
foster and encourage the study and
Investigation of all social questions that
pertain to the welfare of mankind.
"To endeavor especially to ascertain
the primal causes of crime, vice nnd
disease, Instituting measures of preven
tion by eliminating the cause of each
and dlsslmlnatlng such knowledge aa
will uplift and better the condition of
the human race.
Non-secretarian.
“This society la non-secretarian, non-
political In character and under no
circumstances allowed to align itself
with any church or political party as
such."
The members are free and untram
meled by any code or creed and left
free to follow the dictates of their
own conscience In working for the good
of humanity In the community In which
they live.
A sociologist is not an Individualist,
socialist nor an anarchist, but one who
has the altruistic spirit and able to
comprehend the bread principle of the
brotherhood of man from a social
buia.
Science of 8ociety,
Sociology means the science of so
ciety—the philosophical study o’f so
ciety—In application, It Is the art of
living together for the mutual beneflt
of each other. The term sociology was
first used by Comte In 1338; later It
was popularized by Spencer* In his
treatise on the Principles of Sociology
In 1876, since which time numerous
articles and books have appeared on
the subject.
'This Is a day and age of sociological
study and Investigation. The develop
ment of society, the community, city,
stale and nation demand it. Reform
and purification In municipal and polit
ical affairs Is but the result of sociolog
ical Investigation and application.
That community, state or nation that
studies and applies the true principles
of sociology will be the most progres
sive and secure, "the greatest good to
the greatest number," thereby lessen
ing crime, vice and disease, attaining
the highest physical, mental and moral
development of each Individual.
When Organized.
The State Sociological Society was
organized with a view of bringing to
gether the minister, lawyer, physician,
teacher, philanthropist and those en
gaged In commercial, Industrial and
agricultural pursuits, Including those
representing capital nnd labor. In one
common cause, on one common ground,
to study and Investigate social ques
tions of vital Interest to one and all.
‘Am’ I my brother's keeper?" la not
doubtful question of the twentieth
century, but an established fact. So
ciology has demonstrated that no so
ciety, community, city or state ran ex
ist and prosper without recognising
the rights of others; that the Individual
Is only a unit, and can not live to
himself alone physically, morally or
mentally, but must receive old from
others and In some proportion Is ren
dered under obligations to humanity
and society demands a Just and equit
able recompense for the same.
As to Self-effort.
We, as Individuals, are enjoying the
blessings snd privileges of an enlight
ened civilization and a free country, to
which we justly owe our best efforts to
maintain, support and develop to high
er standards, and a more perfect civi
lization. This can only be attained by
a united effort with a proper concep
tion of the result* to be attained.
This requires study and investiga
tion of society as a whole, as well as
of the Individual; of th* cause and
effect of good and evil forces, that tend
to produce health, happiness and Im
provement or bring vice,- crime, dis
ease and degeneration. Each class of
society has Its duties and functions to
perform; each profession Is under many
obligations, while the trades, business,
commercial and Industrial Interests are
vitally concerned. All are Interdepend
ent on one another, and must rise or
fall together. Society is Just what each
community make* It, anti It we hare
crime, vice and disease we are re
sponsible lor It. Such things do not
come by chance, but are the results
of existing forces and follow naturally
the line of cause and effect.
Elimination of Evils.
If we would eliminate these evils
and Improve society as a whole, then
each must do his part and In doing so
each one becomes a sociologist. The
selfish, sordid Individualist may say,
“I am not my brother's keeper; I have
enough to do to took after myself and
my own.”
A community of such would soon
reap as a reward disease, Regenera
tion and destruction.
Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, small
pox, yellow fever, etc., are no re-
spectors of persons, neither are the
sine and vices of moral degeneratlbn;
each Is as Insidious In Its onward
mnrch, and as malignant In its re
suits.
The true sociologist searches for the
primal causes of each and lends his
brother a helping hand In preventing
the evil results and Is not only his
brother's keeper, but Indirectly the
preserver of himself and prevents his
own destruction.
To Live to Benefit.
The greatest privilege given to man Is
to live for the beneflt of others. The
highest aid given others Is to teach
them to help themselves, and then they
In turn may become a source of help
to others.

Interesting Figures in the
Comptroller’s Annual
Report.
The annual report of the Georgia
Insurance department Issued this week
from the office of Comptroller General
William A. Wright, contains very In
teresting Information concerning the
business done In that line during the
year 1906, which period the report In
cludes up to and Including April 30. A
new feature of the report this year is
a complete directory of all the Insur
ance agents of the state with their
place of business, as far as obtainable.
Complete statltstlcs of every com
pany of any kind operating In the state
are given, showing their financial con
dition In detail.
Sixty-six stock Are Insurance com
panies, home and foreign, transacted
business In Georgia, having 1274,885,-
40.76 Insurance In force with (8,856,-
589.11 In premiums. They paid out in
losses 22,560,991.26. They were repre
sented by 3,627 2-2 agents. (It would
be Interesting to know who the 2-2 of
an agent Is.) Total of taxes paid by
these concern Into the state treasury
was 249,872.13.
Old line life Insurance companies
had 2187,919,425.16 of Insurance In force
In Georgia on which 16,618,772.04 was
paid In premiums. That the citizens
of tho state received o large return in
proportion to their premiums Is shown
by the fact that these same compan
ies paid In losses during the yenr $3,-
443,327.43. There were In the state
1,047 life Insurance agenta, and the to
tal taxea paid by the companies dur
ing 1905 amounted to $70,718.76.
Asaessment Insurance In Are, life
and accident lines showed a very great
growth In the state, forty-six contpan-
e» doing bustnefs on that plan, all of
which are native orgnnlxatlons with
the exception of three, the Home
Friendly Society of Baltimore, the Loy
al Protective Association of Boston
and the Great Southern Home of Bir
mingham. These companies had (12,-
<61,241.03 Insurance In force of all
kinds, and received In premiums (26?,-
563.37. They psld In losses 2203,285.65
and were represented by 20$ agents.
Their taxes amounted to (6,843.28.
Miscellaneous stock companies doing
acrldent, marine, surety and plate
glnss Insurance business had 199,830,-
976.34 Insurance In force, with 2577,-
022.62 In premiums. They paid In
losses to the state 2248,449.44. Their
taxes and fees paid In to the state
were (7,692.05.
Since the above return* were made
there has been a remarkable Increase
In all lines of Insurance In the state,
particularly In the formation of nomc
companies nnd the next nnnual report
will no doubt ahow surprising gains
even over the above substantial
amounts.

AN ATLANTA COMPANY
AFFECTED BY DECISION
The Atlanta-BIrmlngham Fire Insur
ance Company, of Atlanta, la Interest
ed In a recent decision made by the
attorney general of Louisiana at the
request of the Insurance commissioner
of that state. The decision will, how
ever, probably be contested, as the uni
versal opinion and practice of Insur
ance companies has been against It.
The decision In part saya;
"In the case of the Atlanta-BIrmlng
ham Fire Insurance Company, of Birm
ingham, Ala., where the capital of the
company had become seriously Im
paired by losses In the San Francisco
conflagration, the attorney general ad
vised the Insurance department that
the reserve of that company could not
be used to reinsure Its outstanding
policy obligations with another com
pany without the consent of the con
flagration policy-holders.
' "As there are a number of compa
nies seriously hurt by the Ban Fran
cisco losses, which are proposing to
transfer their business to other com
panies, the ruling of the attorney gen
eral will affect the arrangement* made
by such companies, and the Insurance
department will refuse to recognise
such transferred funds as the legal
assets of the companies accepting re
insurance.
"The attorney general holds that
the conflagration policy-holders have an
equity In the reinsurance reserve of a
company which can not pay It* losses
with Its capital and surplus. His opln.
Ion agrees with the ruling made by the
attorney general of New York on the
same subject."
In the decision ns quoted there are
several serious error*. The company
had In Its policies a "fallen building"
clause which relieves the company of
liability for damage by Are after a
building has been wrecked. It Is a
question, therefore, which the courts
will have to decide as to whether the
alleged lessee there nre sufficient to
Impair the company’s capital lo the
extent stated by the commissioner.
Concerning the rights of claimants
against the coinparft- on the above
ground. It Is manifestly unfair that
these questionable claims should have
R rci-edence over the rights of policy- 1
older* who have no claim, but whose
policies are still In force and who are
creditors to the company for the un
earned portion of the premium.
