On yesterday the (Inal leaf In Summer's Golden Book was dosed and sealed, and with today the "season of • mists and mellow fruitfulness" begins to unfold before us. fn the manifold activities which hare engaged oar attention, It seems but a little span since this sixth year of the century rounded from winter into bud and blos som, “where the willow trees shot a green feather and the butter cups burned In the grass." It seems but a little span since the revelry of Maydsy yielded to the in creasing fever of June and the months which Immortal Ized the Caesars with the modified name of Julius and Augustus, crept in to complete the sunny circlet of the year. t But the days are done “when the sun god marries his sweetheart June” and the embowered stresms extend their cool Invitations to retreat from the heat of noon. The russet coronal of the mid-year month has already begun to fade, and before we can fully appreciate the flight of time the sassafras nnd the sumac will fling out their banners of crimson and gold, while fast over the mellowing hills lies that abundant period “when the frost Is on the pumpkin and the corn Is In tl)e shock." It Is eminently true. In the Innguage of Holy Writ, that "one star dllfereth from another star In glory," and equally true It Is that each phase In all the changing cy- els of the season, presents a charm and Individuality pe culiar to Itself which we would not willingly exchange for any of the attributes which lie In the succeeding seasons of the year. That apostle of the screaming sisterhood, Mary Ellen Lease, once paused In her raucous campaign of calamity bowling long enough to declare that "God Almighty was In benignant frame of mind when he fashioned Oeorgla. 1 And so It would seem to those who stop long enough in tbs busy routine of life thoroughly to apprehend the man Hold charms of our commonwealth. In nothing Is this superiority more apparent than In the gracious climate which smiles upon her red old hills and touches them Into blosfom and fruitage. While we have heard, as If they were the rumors swept back to us from another world, of the dally fatalities where General Humidity goes forth conquering and to conquer, we of Oeorgla bare sat under our own vine and flg tree luxuriating in an atmosphere which Is tempered to the highest degree of enjoyment; It has been a happy and a prosperous summer, but now that It Is over, we philosophically exclaim "the king Is dead, long live the king." With buoyancy and hopeful anticipation we turn our faces toward the closing third of this Immorts! year. The rich pageantry which will soon he spread along the hedges and throughout the forests will supply the picturesque and aesthetic, while fertile fields, once tickled with the boe, now laughing with the harvest, will supply our creature comforts an hundred and a thousand fold. The optimism which pervades our nature leads us to believe that this will be the happiest and most prosper ous year In the bcadroll of all years, and that the closing of this unfolding period will And the world at large on a higher and a better plane than ever before. This confidence will at least contribute much toward establishing the condition, and with grateful recollec tions of the golden summer that Is dead, we look loyally and confidently toward the Autumn that la today at hand. A Great Movement in Good Hands. The protracted agitation demanding that radical measures shall be taken (or s stricter enforcement of the laws and for the better protection of the women and children of the South, Is finally crystallising Into some thing definite and effective and at last we Indulge the hope that a brighter day Is dawning for all concerned. It would J>e Impossible to find a more representa tive and substantial body of cUlsens than those whose names are attached to the resolutions adopted on yes terday for presentation to the city, county and state au thorities. They are the tax-payers, the men of substance^ men of enlightenment and Integrity to whom we Instinc tively look for the furtherance of every movement for the general welfare. They are earnest and xealous in their desire that the "Reign of Terror" shall be supplanted by the reign of law and order, and by the establishment o( a better system of protection and security. It was a notable am. gratifying feature of these res olutions that no effort to revive that engine of recon structlon days known as the Ku-Klux Klan, could re ceive the cooperation and Indorsement of the good peo ple of this community. Hysterical protests from an Ir responsible quarter, lashing into fury the feelings of the mob and In its essence encouraging lawlessness, met with the prompt, vigorous and emphatic denunciation which It deserved. This Is not s time to appeal to law lessness, and least of all In such a form as will lend en couragement to a movement in which hot-headed nnd Irresponsible men naturally assume the leadership. Wiser and better counsels have prevailed among the distinguished cltlsens who have headed the present defi nite movemenL The very prestige of their personality carries weight and Influence In erery quarter to which they appeal. They ask that the street railway company use separate trailer cars for the accommodation of the i.- vroes. It Is an undeniable fact that the contact of the races on the street cars Is one of the most fruitful sources of friction we have. And even the most casual Observer, riding about the city, can see that we are al ways on the verge of personal conflicts between the ne groes and the white people. It may be that this new measure can be adopted only at a sacrifice; but the time la critical and the situation Is desperate. It Is Imper ative that a sacrifice should be made for the common good, and It Is only reasonable that a great corporation that has enriched Itself from the privileges It enjoys from the city of Atlanta, should make this sacrifice in the Interest of peace snd security. It is recommended that the police force of tho city should be largely Increased, and that the low dives es tablished In the purlieus of Atlanta should be swept away absolutely. These dens of Iniquity and crime where thousands of negroes live In Idleness snd dissi pation are the natural incubators of the very criminals who sally forth to commit their unspeakable assaults In the secluded woods snd fields and along the high ways. We believe that the Calvin vagrancy law adrr Istered with vigorous severity will reach this end and do much to break up the low haunts of thriftless negro criminals. There should be neither variableness nor the shadow of turning In this purpose until these retreats are absolutely purged and the vagabonds who Infest them are driven Into exile or put to work for the state and the county. The efficiency of the county police has already been I greatly improved by trebling the number of rural police officers and dlstribntlng them more generally throughout the county. The recent agitation will serve to awaken these officers to a higher sense of the duties snd respon sibilities which devolve upon them, all of which will go a long way toward sndlng the present reign of terror. The Georgian baa already called attention to the suggestion of Judge George Hlllyer that the criminal laws of this state should be so amended that the ex asperating delays which have afflicted us In the post will be ended forever. If It Is necessary to adopt constitutional amendment In order that trial, conviction snd execution under the forms of law may be carried through absolutely without delay, then by all means let the constitution be amended and additional statutes adopted for the end In view. These are some of the suggestions madd by this rep resentative committee of public spirited and determined citizens. Over and beyond this the press of the South should din It Into the ears of the leading teachers and preachers among the negroes of tha South that their manifest duty in this crucial hour Is to utter in diapason tones the persistent warning of the fearful fate which awaits the Individual negro unless this reign of terror ends. The time has come for them to dwell upon the heinousness of the crime and not upon the Irregularity of the punishment which follows. The best element of the South loves law snd order and condemns the action of the mob. But over and be yond that lies the grim determination that we shall dally no longer with these outrages and - that the surest way for the negro race to write Its own doom and de struction Is for Its leaders to remain even luke-warm In their denunciation of the unspeakable offenders. This present movement Is one of the most repreaen tatlve and the most determined which the periodical agitation of the press during many years has yet brought forward, and we look to It to secure prompt and sub stantial results. Atlanta’s Clearing House Figures. The fall season opens up with the most graUfylng assurance that commerce snd Industry will go forward with greater vigor than ever during the next few months. The closing month of summer makes a magnificent showing for the trade conditions In Atlanta. One of the most exact barometers of our growth snd progress Is the volume of our bank clearings, and It Is shown that the month of August exceeded the corresponding month of last year by $3,500,000. This very excess would be a fairly creditable show ing for the average city, but It has become so much a matter of course that It hardly excites snjrthlng more than passing comment August of last year showed a large Increase In the volume of bank clearings when thii Item reached more than $12,000,000, but when It reaches $15,5(6,000, as shown for last month, It becomes apparent that we are prospering Indeed. Half a million dollars a day passing through the banks of Atlanta means a tremendous volume of business, and yet this sum Is ever on Che Increase, growing In geometrical pro gression. It Is very graUfylng to the patriotic cltlxen of At lanta, who Is proud of the prosperity of his city, to have such substantial facts av these to offer In vindica tion of his claims that we are leading the South in our material welfare. A year hence our monthly bank clear ings should be something like $20,000,000 a month, and (but (he steady growth will continue unUI there will be no one to dispute our pre-eminence. Attention has already been called to the fact that Atlanta’s money order business Is greater than that of New Orleans, a dly several times larger than thla In the mere number of Inhabitants. This naturally came as something of a surprise to a number of readers who look upon the Crescent City as the center of a large trade, but the facts of the case cannot be disputed sod they are attracting general attention. How Bryan Was “Buried.” That hard words break no bones has been repeated (or a long Ume—"otherwise," as Beast Butler used to say, "I would have been dead long ago.” The Man with the Scrap Book, who In this Instance Is a college professor with an Inclination toward the cu rious, has como forward with an anthology of the hard things said by the newspapers of the country Just after the election In 1900. They have a peculiar Interest at this time, when the distinguished Nebraskan has Just re ceived the most splendid ovation ever accorded a prlvatq citizen In this country. Among these choice extracts and epithets are the following: "Dead and hurled beyond hope of resurrection.” “Janus-faced trickster." "Quack nostrum doctor.” . "Magician.” "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." "Lightning rod man." "8afebreaker.” "Court Jester." “Anarchist." "Artful dodger." "Dlvvlcrat." "Brazen rootman to rapadouz Tammany tiger." "Blatant demagog." “Constitutional pessimist” “Traitor." "Apostle of sedition and class hatred.” "Unscrupulous expounder of emotional popocratlc politics." "Un homnie capable de tout." Bryanlsm drew votes from a "conglomeration of wild theorists, of discontented Ignorance, of dishonest debtors, of selfish silver owners, of pelf-sccklng politicians, of ob jectors to law nnd order nnd the sanctity of the supreme Judiciary,” who followed that "Jack O'Lantcrn light of a man void of understanding.'' "Buried under an avalanche of votes." The representative opinions of Bryanlsm were no less emphatic and to the point: "Stamped out." "Its end has come." "It stands condemned before the world with nono so poor to do It reverence." "All that the Democratic party, under Ur. Bryan, has contended lor has been repudiated." The election "marks tho deliverance from the com bination of all the lunacies of the past.” We have left behind "the whole congeries of fads and follies and hatreds that greedy and unscrupulous men have gathered together In a modern cave of Adullan (or a menace to ordered iiopular government.” In the (ace o( roeont events Mr. Bryan can afford to smile at this formidable array of bad language. A NORTHERN MAN'S VIEWS. To the Editor of The Georgian: Permit me to express my humble admiration of your editorial and the stand you are taking In defense of our mothers, sisters, daoghtert, wives and sweethearts. Noting some of the many comments thereon, It seems to me that the Northern man, of today. Is Judged by the Southerner from the routings of a class of fools who occa sionally rush Into print In the news papers and other periodicals of the North and the ravings of yellow Jour nals that print anything to sell their product, and not by the real senti ment of the people. In 1*04, In Chester, Pa, a negro brute criminally assaulted the daugh ter of a minister, the crime was a re volting and shocking one In all Its de tails, and for a few hours a quiet hor ror that no words of mine can describe pervaded the minds of the people. It seemed as If It had struck them dumb. Then, vengeance, as swift and an sure as ever any people of the South de vised, was meted out to that black hound. He was burned at the stake, and over two thousand of the best cK- I sens of Chester with some Philadel phians participated In meting out swift Justice and presenting a warning to hts kind. This Is one of many Instances that occurred In the North. We were for tunate In not having more occasion for them. I have been In the South for eighteen months, end except that you have much more occasion to express It I find there Is no difference between your feeling and that of the people In the North, who have gone through the horror that menaces our women. I am now a resident of the suburbs of Atlanta, compelled to leave my home frequently to travel over Georgia and South Carolina, and am more than thankful that so much has already been done to protect our homes, but for the sake of those we hold dear, let us not delay until another victim Is added to the long list of atrocious crimes against those who of God-given right look to us for protection, but at once organise Into some such order os the famous Ku Klux Klan, and pro tect them with our lives. If need be. A Northerner by birth, a Southerner by Inclination, and a Georgian by choice, as an American without any sectional feeling, but as one of this nation, I say we need a national organi sation, pledged to stamp out the black hand at our women’s throats. I believe that a determined organl ration, such as this, will act as a pre ventlve of all such crimes In the fu ture, since the beasts will realise that that crime means speedy death, but should action be necessary, I beg an opportunity of being given an humble place In the ranks, and though 1 quiet, peace-loving cltlien, this adopt ed "Tankee” will cheerfully lead where any of your native sons dart follow In defenso of our American women, God bless them! Lead on, my Bouthern brother, and give the Northerner a chance to Join your ranks, then count them—It will surprise you. I believe I may have some little ability as an organiser; In that capacity or any other In this cause, I offer my services without compensation or re ward, and will pay my own expenses going any place and at any time. Sincerely yours. J. D. LAWRENCE. 201 Fourth National Bank Building, Atlanta, Ga. NEWS FORECAST FOR COMING WEEK Special to The Georgian. Washington. D.

I GOSSIP ATLANTA TO CELEBRATE LABOR DAY FITTINGLY REV. R. D. 8TIN80N'8 VIEWS. To the Editor of The Georgian: I have carefully and considerately read your editorials concerning the criminal element ot my people and the attitude of the leaders thereto. Knowing you as I de, I have reasons to behave that you felt you were per forming a duty that must be accom pllshed by some one for the good of both races and our great Southern section with Its mass of Ignorance, pov erty. squallor and general Irregulerltiee. Many of the thoughtful Intereated In both races believe aa you do. But. when we oonatder the disadvantage! of our section for more than thirty yeara, the Ignorance, misery and degradation of my people through all thoae years, and how much of It actually exists now, there may be grounds to doubt the seeming drastic measures to bring to | telllgence, law and order, and civic re spect one for the other. Few persons know better than you do that It takes rears to rear and practically put the arger class of race on their feet. I believe you are a friend to my people upon a principle and In a manner that the bulk of them and a large class In your own race do not understand. With our schools, churches and property, we have not yet lenrned how to feel friend ly toward a man who may speak or write as frankly, positively and some times unscathlngly, ns you do. One hindrance to my people from nearly every view point Is, they expect too much of thcmaelvcs and the recognlxed leaders In the white race expect too much of them. I believe, as you do, that the Ignorant, worthless, criminal element n( the race should be dealt Ith continuously, positively In every nook and corner of our section. Not much because It may warrant the protection of the Innocent, high-classed and the respectable of your own rare, hut for the good now and future of the negro race Itself. The greatest care should be exercised relation to labor conditions, friendly race relations, and my people should have a chance to elevate themselves In practical manner. True elevation, self-respect, good morals and respect for othera must necessarily come from within. Therefore, the home life, the com munlty In which people live, love for honest work, an abiding confidence In one's self anil his neighbors, love and respect for the community In which he lives must be the basic principles upon which my people must necessarily be placed. If I know anything of my people, and their conditions, my candid opinion is that th* practical school room, home, pulpit and wlsa leadership will bring to every community throughout our Southland the thing that you seem earnestly and continuously pleading for. More and greater rare must be exer cised by the white people employing my people and throwing them Indis criminately among their families., A person of my race who has bad man ners, Is of vicious disposition, a thief and Inclined to falsehood among col ored people, will be all that, and more, among white people. cheap, submissive, worthless ne gro In a white family too often will be the most costly—not only to that Individual family, but to the com munity. No white persona should Indiscrim inately employ the Ignorant and unfor tunate of m»- rare and take them into their homes without a recommendation of truthfulness and character. I am with you for my race’s own good In putting down the lawless, reckless, vicious and wlll-not-work class. f am with you In rearing a high standard of good morals, Intelligence and civic righteousness. You are ca pable and, I believe, will aid the lead ers of my race In advancing the most sane, practical nnd wise methods In securing for the South, especially Geor gia. that which Is for the highest and best good of all.
