To Juatlcea Richard Ruaaell, Arthur Powell and Benja min Hill, of the new court of appeala. The Georgian extendi lta felicitations upon the generoua race and the gallant victory of the state election. The sections of the state are well represented In the register of the new Judges, one from the northeast, one from the capital city, and one from the wtregraBi region of the state. The bench la distinctly strengthened by the character, experience and ability oj the three Georgians who hare been called to Judicial honors and responsibilities, and we trust that thla rigorous addition to the machinery of the law may expedite the trial and decision of causes in a moat marked and effective way. The general sentiment eeems to name Judge Richard Ruaaell aa the presiding JusUee not only because of the remarkable majority by which he led the race, but by reason of bis nlno years' experience upon the bench of the superior court. This Is mere rumor, of course, al though the foundation aeems to be substantial. . But whatever the organlsaUon of the court It !■ a matter of congratulation to the state that three young, vlgoroui and capable Jurists have been added to the equipment of onr greatly overtaxed and overworked judiciary. And so while we congrafulato the ngw judges, wo fo- llcltate with equal heartiness the state which la to have the benefit of their brains and attainment. The “Demagogy” of Hearst. dolph Hearst with demagogy, consider his recent atti tude toward McCarren. McCarren la the absolute boas of Brooklyn. He Is supposed to "hold the city In the hollow of hts band” from the Democratic standpoint, which la the dominant standpoint of Its politics. After Mr. 'Hearat’a nomination nt Buffalo, McCar ren made Immediate overtures for a working basts be tween tbeq>. Hearst refused to accept a single proposi tion which McCarren made. McCarren atated definitely that the refusal to accept his plan would cost tho Hearst ticket 75,000 votes In Brooklyn. Hearst's Immediate answer was to Ignore McCarren and to put In his independent league for a majority ot the elective offices of the Brooklyn bor ough. It was a distinct defiance of McCarren In the' lines of h!( principles and the lines of his loyalty; .and the question ot 76,000 votes did not weigh against the greater question of Hearst’s principles and hla plans for their exe cution. , What demagogue of your acquaintance would have been willing to snap hts fingers In the face of 76,000 votes to protect a principle or to carry out s plan which ho had made tor an honest government? This country Is going to know William Randolph Hearst better than It has ever done before. And when McCarren and hla gangs are forgotten the next governor of New York will be remembered as one of the cleanest and most effectlvo reformers of modern times. The Peachtree Car Tracks. If the majority of those who live on Peachtree street are opposed to the removal of the street car tracks from that great thoroughfare. It Is high time that they were making that fact evident to the city council and to the people. * Those who are In favor of this removal are particu larly active and appear to be especially coherent In their plana and purposes. The list of their names has been published, and while In quality they represent many of the very beat people on that thoroughfare, they are by no means a majority, and are therefore not strong enough numerically to control the situation. We have one or two communications from private citizens along that line on this page today. But the point we wish to ascertain la the sentiment of the majority of Peachtree residents whoae wishes should prevail In this important matter. If the show hands should demonstrate that the majority of tho Peachtree people are In favor of the plana proposed by Capptaln Clayton and others, we are quite confident that their withes ought to prevail. If, on the other hand, the majority la against the proposition, the plan ought to be discarded at one. We said on Friday that The Georgian had no Interest In the matter beyond the Interest of the majority of those who were personally concerned and that we were willing to follow the majority In the mat ter. Our own Idea of the situation la that the removal of the tracks would entail great Inconvenience upon the majority of the Peachtree residents and would practi cally cloae that great thoroughfare aa a constant enjoy ment to all those who are not able to enjoy the luxury of vehicles to carry them up and- down lta length. We expressed the belief that five-sevenths of the people ot Peachtree street were In the attitude to oppose this plan If they cared to do so. But as the matter stands now, the only parties that seem to be active are those In favor of the proposition,'and unless the majority be ■tlra itself an dorganlzea Its expression. It will simply, by apathy, permit the minority to express the sentiment ot the street and to control the disposition of the tracks. If the maojrlty It opposed to the removal of the car tracks and will say so, The Georgian will help them to fight But it the majority Is Indifferent or on the other side, It Is certainly not The Georgian's Inclination or duty to oppose a plan which seems to be acceptable to most of those who take pains to express themselves. Whatever la done should be done quickly. It there Is going to be any opposition to the plan, it ought to be organized and somebody should go to work to organize It. It It la not done there will be nothing left to conclude but that the proposition meets with universal favor. Meanwhile, here la a yemark which fairly expresses the opposition of those not personally Interested In the matter. One of the moat charming ladles of Atlanta whoae fortune Is compressed within narrow limits, re marked on Saturday: "If the car tracks nre removed from Peachtree, I shall take occasion to take a daily ride on the last week of tholr stay, for after that 1 do not ezpect to be able to hire a conveyance to ride on Peachtree more than year." Justice Klngsbery Talks. “I am heartily in favor of having the car tracks on Peachtree street, beyond Baker street, removed,” ■eld Justice Klngsbery Saturday morning. "The re moval ot all tracks on that portion ot Peachtree street would materially enhanco the value of prop erty there, and would develop It Into one of the three most beautiful thoroughfares In the United States.” "I have lived on Peachtree street for the past 25 years, and long ago I discovered that having a atreet car track passing directly In front ot your home Is very undesirable. For the satisfaction of my own curiosity, I made an estimation one 8unday of the number of cars that passed my home, nnd . found that approzlmately 1,200 clanging, rumbling cars swept only a few feet in front of my door during the day. "The cars on Peachtree street commence run ning at an early hour In the morning, and conUnue to pass to and fro until after 12 o'clock at night. They are almost a never-ending nulsanco and their removal would be welcome to me.” Now there la not a bigger-hearted and more generous citlsen in Atlanta than Justice Klngsbery. He would not deliberately do or Eny anything that smacked of In difference to the comfort ot other people. And yet see how be has permitted himself thought lessly to drift into a purely selfish and aristocratic argu ment: "Remove the cars from Peachtree because there are some 1.200 rumbling, clanging cars passing my door every day up to midnight. They are a never-ending nuisance and their removal would be welcome to me.” Yes, but how about the other fellow.' How about the good people on Juniper and West Peachtree streets? They have ears and nerves and like to sleep and rest also. And it to the cars already running on Juniper and West Peachtree we add the volume of travel that used to run on Peachtree, don't you suppose that the 1,600 or 1,800 cars would be just as much of a nuisance to Juniper and West Peachtree? We know Justice Klngsbery too well to believe that be would, after reflection, base his approval of the Peach tree plan upon an argument so aristocratic as this. It Is because of the many whose Interest, convenience md comfort are involved in this matter that The Gcor- I Klan U taking an Interest in it. It Is not often that The Chicago Chronicle finds good word to say for the South, but when It does get straight In this direction It says something worthy of note. In a recent Issue, The Chronicle ridicules the com parison of the negro lynchlngs In the South with tho massacre ot the Jews In Russia, and declares: “The offense committed by the negroes Is the moat heinous and Insufferable conceivable and the Jews are killed simply because the murderers owe them money. There Is also a great disparity In point of numbers. The number 6f Jews killed In one. day is greater than tho number of negroes lynched since tho revolutionary war.” I It does not seem necessary to add anything to this pungent statement ot fact Have We Lost the Love For Cattle, It Is not difficult to find an explanation of the ever- Increasing popularity of The Southorn Cutlvator with tho farming life of Georgia, when we read from the pen of Kdltor Hunnlcutt such a pastoral plea as this which follows. It Is commop sense expressed In beauty, and should weigh - decisively In tho fnrmlng plans of our Georgia folk. "The Bible tells us that one of the very first duties God imposed upon Adam was to give names to the animals as He cansed them to pass In a review be fore him. Abol, Adam's second and favorite son, was a shepherd. Noah had to build the ark large enough to accommodate two of every species of tho animals. The Lord's favorite sacrifice was a lamb upon the al tar. Sheep first gave us our standard of monoy value. The happiest days for mankind upon tho earth la described as tho "golden age,” when men were prin cipally Bhepherds and spent the long, peaceful daya In watching their flocks, while with Innocent and happy hearts they mado music upon their flutes. From thence on down the nnnals of history, the horse, the cow and the sheep have been closely as sociated with overy s.ep In tho development of tho human race. The greatness of every tribe has been largely measured by their herds of cattle. No nation has risen to any high degree of merit, that did not pay special attention to the raising and breeding of stock. Today wo find the foremost nations lead ers In the cattle Industry. England owes much of her greatness to the Shorthorns, Herefords, Southdowns and Bcrkshlres. F.ance is noted for her Percheron horses and Romboulette sheep. Germany for her draft horses and Coach stallions. Holland for her caws, Scotland for her Clydsdale horses,- Aberdeen Angus cattle, and Cheviot sheep, and the Isle of Jersey, that gem of the sea, Is famed for her dairy queens. All our Northern and Western states are rich In blooded stock and every State Is noted tof some special line of stock breeding. Our poor, lone Southland has lost that close connection with animal breeding and has pinned her faith to a fleecy staple grown upon a weed. Our ears have been closed to the kindly music of lowing cattle, thatthey might be filled with the din of politicians who have 1 led us astray from the paths of successful agriculture with that misleading cry “of our being blessed with a God- given monopoly In growing cotton." So far have we strayed from the right paths, that whatever of a blessing our monopoly contained it has been turned Into a curse by our neglect to raise stock upon our farms. God Himself has put a curse upon any one- crop system ot farming and no man or set of men can remove it. Man Is declared to be the king of an imals, and for him to thrive aright or to rule well, he must dwell, surrounded with members of the In ferior animals, that they may satisfy his hunger, enrich hts soli and till his lands, while he ministers to their every want and need with diligence and care.” OUR PLATFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning its own gas and elec tric light plants, as it now owns its Water works- Other cities do this and get gas as low as 60 cents, with a profit to the city. This should be done at once. The Georgian believes that if street rail ways can be operated successfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they can not be so operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and it may be some years be fore We are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOW Nooks and Corners of American History By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. HOW 8IR HENRY CLINTON WA8 SHECWMATED There was a time when Long Island Sound was full of whales and whaling companies were thick on both shores of the Sound. For some time before the breaking out of the American Revolution the whales had slipped away to other wa ters, and, as a consequence, the whal ing companies were doing a poor busi ness. Notwithstanding this fact, however, the company organizations were. outbreak of hostilities between the col. onles and the mother country there were little squads of men all along the shore who were ready at short notice for any kind of partisan service. It may be said In passing that Long Island, settled by the conservative Dutch and by the sons of English gen tlemen, was a regular nest of Tories, while Connecticut, of almost purely Puritan stock, was thoroughly demo cratic and patriotic. If space permitted It would be pos sible to fill column after column with the thrilling encounters between the Tories on the south shore and tho patriots on the north shore of Long Is- and Sound, but I will content myself with the story of how patriotic Captain David Hawley negotiated an exchange of prisoners. On Holland Hill, some 2 miles out from Fairfield, Conn., there dwelt, In the spring of 1779, General G. S. Sti llman, one of the most prominent Whigs In the section, and a great friend to the cause of liberty. Sllltman was man enough to attract the especial attention of Washington and to receive from the great chieft ain's own hand the commission of brigadier general, and at the time In question General Sllllman, at the head of his troops, was at the aforesaid Hol land Hill, with headquarters in hla own fine mansion. Sir Henry Clinton thought It would be a fine thing to capture the distin guished Whig and to parade him along the more public thoroughfares of New York In Irons. For tho capture of Stillman Sir Hen ry selected a man named Glover, a Tory refugee, who had once worked for the general, and knew him well. Leaving Floyd Neck, L. I., In a whal ing boat, with eight other refugees, Glover succeeded In reaching Fairfield about midnight, and, surrounding the Sllllman mansion, captured the gen eral with but little difficulty. Negotiations were at once opened with the enemy for the exchange of tholr prisoner; but, to the chagrin of the patriots, the answer camo back that the Americans had no one In their possession whom the British would consider an equivalent for the illus trious Whig general. Then It was that the genius of Cap tain David Hawley camo Into play. The captain remembered that there was then living at Fort Neck, a village In the town of Oyster Bay. L. I., tho Hon. Thomas Jones, a Justice of the supreme court of the province of NeV York, and one of the stanchest royal ists In the land. He figured, with his good, hard, horse sense, that Jones might be considered the equivalent of Sllllman. With Captain Hawley, to think was to act, and, marshalling twenty-five of the bravest of the whalers of Brldgo- Rort, he set out for Stony Brook Creek, on tho Long Island shore, some DO miles from their quarry. Arriving at tho' Jones mansion about _ o’clock In the evening, they found his honor und a host of friends In the midst ot a grand banquet. Tho reyelry came to a sudden and most unceremonious close, nnd within less than an hour after their arrival Hnwley and his men were well on their way back with tholr distinguished prisoner, and Inside of twenty-four hours the Honorable Thomas Jones, Justice of the supreme court of Con necticut, was In durance vile on the Connecticut side of the sound. "Here's your man," said Captain Hawley to tho American authorities; "and I reckon he will prove to be hlg enough to swap off for our General Sll llman." The captain’s Judgment proved to be true, nnd In a little whllo Jones was exchange for the general, and Sir Hen ry Clinton had nothing but hlB labor for ills pains. CAPT. HARRISON MAKES A SPIRITED REPLY TO MR. GEORGE W. WILLIAMS To the Editor of,The Georgian: Having published the second attack upon me by Mr. George W. Williams, of Laurens county, I presume you will afford me an opportunity to defend myself that my good name may not be besmirched by this man. The public has been given a mass of matter about the soldiers' home, growing out of a sensational investiga tion of the management of the Institu tion, and many efforts have been made to prejudice the minds ot the people against the home—trustees and offl- plals employed by them. Charges were tpade of mismanage ment and abuse of the Inmates. A resolution was adopted by the general hssemhly and a committee was ap pointed to make Investigation, and re port to the next general assembly. The committee assembled and spent five or six days taking testimony and examining Into the affairs of the home. A report was made and pub lished. This report did not reflect seriotisly upon the trustees or any of the present officers. Some suggestions and recommendations were made to the trustees, and some complaint made about turning disorderly men away without means to support themselves, etc. Since the adjournment of the com mittee. Mr. Williams continues to keep up "the fight,” as he terms It, and In making threats about what he will do when he comes back to tho general as- sunbly. He has misrepresented me In these articles and drawn me Into a newspa per controversy very distasteful to myself. But no man has ever assailed me In any way at any time without hearing from me In my own defense. Mr. Williams persists In charging me with having "bitterly denounced the Inmates of the home,” and that I called them a "lot of old bums and hood lums.” I have admlted that I have denounc ed In strong and emphatic terms, with all the earnestness I could command, the disgraceful misconduct of a lot of habitual drunkards who have been sent to the home, and who have repeatedly violated the rules against drunkenness and disorderly conduct In the home. Some ot these men after many mild reprimands and cautions have been suspended for different periods, gen erally for thirty days, when their conduct demanded such suspension. Not a single old, decrepit man among them "that I ever heard of or saw. I have sanctioned the actlort of the trus tees In making and enforcing these rules against these drunken, boisterous Inmates, because the law-abiding, quiet, old men In the home deserved to be protected against the abuse and misconduct ot these dissipated inmates. I have felt perfectly Indignant when I have heard how some of the rowdies have abused, cursed and threatened their roommates who chided them or complained of their conduct. The original rules never anticipated any such conduct and when the trus tees found tho necessity for It more stringent rules were adopted to sup press the evil. It baa been neqrly ac complished by turning out some of the most disorderly ones and enforcing the rules against them all. I have characterized these Incorrigi ble whisky drinkers as "a lot of old bums,” and so they have been, and the truth of all I say can be easily estab lished by the testimony of those who know all about the home for the past three years. This drunkenness has been reported by the surgeons, by the superintend ents, by the president of the board, and by the Investigating committees. It cannot be denied that whisky has been the curse of the Institution. I have said all this and many other things on the same line. I have felt that these men were ungrateful, and that there was no excuse whatever for this misconduct. Mr. Williams and other members the Investigating committee heard me denounce these rowdy Inmates, as I have stated, because I made no secret of my condemnation of this class. Now, Mr, Williams, for purposes his own, has charged me with charac terlzlng all the Inmates In the home, o as he says, "the Inmates of the home with being "old bums," etc. I have never spoken 111 of these hen orable old men. I have befriended scores of them time and time'again, have worked hard to render this place of refuge for their declining years a quiet, orderly, delightful i lace. I have In very many ways helped to make all their surroundings pleasant. I do not Intend to allow Mr. Williams or any one else to hold me up to public scorn as a man who would harm by word or deed these old heroes. Many of them are my personal friends, and of ten thank me for my ,. attentions to them and my efforts to supply their wants. . .... This man Williams, whoss middle name I am glad to know Is not "Washington," as I had been led to be lleve, grows very afigry'when his own contemptible conduct Is exposed and when I stated that his demand for hO' tel bills was turned down as being un authorized by his own resolutions. He says: "I call the captain's attention to my name which Is correctly signed to this article so that he will not ha surprised If In the future he finds me usurping the prerogative of hi* patron saint, Ananias." I have thus much to say In conclu sion: The above quoted sentence Is a malicious slander and the man who applies It to me Is a contemptible liar. W. H. HARRISON. I GOSSIP n An Inspiring Word Fron Seab Wright To the Editor of The Georgian: I write you simply to congratulate you on the magnificent fight you are making for municipal ownership, and to suggest that you go steadily work, get up the facts from all the towns In Georgia, such as Dalton, Ath ens, Cedartown, Albany, Newnan and a host of others, showing that even a little town can by selling commercial light, not only get their street lighting free, but make an excellent profit be sides.

ALEXANDER DECK, CANT WAIT THE MIU-ENNIUM. MR. BRYAN’8 FUTURE. To the Editor of The Georglnn I do not claim to be it politician, or to be wise In statecraft, but ns one of the grent mass of the people who think for themselves. I desire to offer n few thought* on the cnndldsey of Hon. Willlnm .1, Hr.vnu for the presidency, and the evident luteu- tlon of the Democratic politicians to run him for the third time for that high of- „ Tan's fitness fi the position, but Is It wise to present twice-defeated candidate to the people of the United Ktates for their suffrage?

There Is nothing thnt succeeds like success, nnd. ns n presidential candidate, Mr. Urynn hna not been n snccesa, hut n failure—twice a failure.

Will the l>e*nocrar!e leader* forget the past, and sin butt their heads against the rock of ..lure? I hope not. ... , There are many wise and true men In the great Democratic pnrty who would, If elected, give the country an honest, pro gressive administration; why not nominate some * . out pre-eminent among Ms (allows, like Saul of old, hood and shoulders shove his brethren, a man who sots, who fights, who accomplishes. who is ■|# ehst H 6|— tghly h -rporntl allied if who Thl*° wonderful man Is the lion, william Randolph Hearst, of New York, lie has provea Itlmself to lie the «roatest executive of the sxe. and he would hsve no trouble In lopping off her.' nnd pruning there, un til the government was administer,-I In nu honest, eeonomleal way In the Interest of the whole country.

So the negro rapist must not be lynched! He must be permitted to havo hla little fling until "Christianity has solved the problem." The reverend gentlemen who enter tain this view must be well aware that Judge I.ynoh Is getting on In years, and that their Christianity, or church- lanlty, has already had some decades in which to "solve the problem." Is any progress reported? If Christianity Is "on trial," as one reverend gentleman says. It will be far more concerned with the problem of Its own existence than the problem of the negro.

One British firm last year bewailed the loss of a dozen, and reported thnt as many more were stolen from their contractors. Another firm lost nine, only three of which were recovered.

New York, Oct. 8.—The world of high finance Is puzzling over the Identity*f the man meant by John D. Rockefen,, in his Interviews, In which that versa tile genius gave advice to his fellow multi-millionaires as to how to live. Mr. Rockefeller Is quoted thus: “I know a man who Is very rich, who l«« worth probably $100,000,000, and he Is growing old. He has no Interest In anything but business. It Is too lato for him to develop other tastes. So he tolls away at his business the year around. He Is tied to his office He Is a slave. It Is not that he cares to make more money; It ts because the activity of his mind demands occupa tion, and bualneas alone has the power to excite hla Interest and hold hie at. tentlon. am especially 'thankful that I learned early to take an Interest in other fields than business, so when I was able to shift more and more active business cares from my shoulders to those of other men, I could do so with, out regret, for I had other filed, of activity awaiting my attention which have proved of absorbing Interest. I regard It as of the greatest Importance that the man of business should guard against his business monopolizing him to the exclusion of all other fields of life. ■For seventeen years I have followed my rule not to taka up applications personally. And still they keep com* mg. I wonder If I had been dead for that length of time if they would atm be seeking me so persistently." New that Russell Sage Is dead, it Is hard to find a man whom the new Rockefeller cap fits. The number of men known to be worth $100,000,000 Is not large, and to none of these does the description apply. It Is perhaps some side partner of the oil king who haa succeeded In keeping the fact that he Is a multi-millionaire under cover. It Is not probable that Elliot F. Shepard will be arrested to connection with the killing of Gruner during the Vanderbilt cup race. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., and other automoblllsts have un* dsrtaksn the case of the dead man's family and the blame for the killing can net be laid to Mr. Shepard. The authorities had given consent to the race and Shepard was doing no more than he had a lawful right to do.

While we only did what we felt wM our duty by sticking to the levers through this seeming reign of terror, yet after the smoke of battle ha* cleared away and sweet peace reigns supreme, I am glad to know that ->ur faithfulness wee recognized by such ;• kind hearted and loyal citizen as I have always found the editor of Ths Georgian to be. We felt that the company needed our service during these troublous times, and also that the public was entitled to our protection at least while riding oa the cars. While It was reported that some of our number died of fright, I am gl» j to know that It ts not generally be lieved, and you will find a small army of us, oa heretofore, ready to render efficient service to our employers ana to protect the lives of those who art entrusted to our care as far as posstbi* for us to do. On our dally runs through the city and suburbs we come to contact witn all classes of people, some good ana some not quite so good, but we try ta treat them all kind and overlook their faults, knowing that no man attains perfection In this life. ... Again thanking you, and hoping that you may achieve still greater success with The Georgian. I remain Yours truly. __ C. L. CHOKER Motorman Ga. Ry. A Electric Co. 305 E. Hunter St, Atlanta. Go.
