Atlanta’s Great Convention.
The Carriage Builders' National Association holds
this Twentieth Century city na Its proud and happy hoat
today.
And the carriage builders are memorable not only
In their coming and in themselves, but In the number
and the average quality which combine to make them
the greatest convention that Atlanta haa ever known.
Not until wo bring hero the Democratic national con
vention of 1908 or 1912, will Atlanta have anything to
compare in alie and scope with this great organisation.
Men of wealth, men of Influence, men of aplendld energy
and of large executive ability, almost every one or them.
they know that Atlanta is glad to look upon them and
that Atlanta la proud to reflect that she had drawing
power within her history and attractlona to bring here the
aseembly In annual session.
Beyond the pleasure and the honor of entertaining
a body of thia tlxe it comes most happily to emphasise to
Atlanta the need of our two great auditoriums that are
going up. The fact that we are compelled to send
these men to the crude and imperfect buildings of the
exposition at Plodmont Park, the fact that we are
forced to scatter their public meetings and their enter
tainments in a dosen different places, all bring Atlanta
faca to face with a sense of mortification and a resolute
determination to provide against such n contingency in
the future.
We most cordially request of our welcome and dis
tinguished guests that they will keep in mind the fact
that Atlanta Is celebrating their presence and their In
complete entertainment today by finishing up with a mar
velously sustained subscription list to our great audi
torium armory to take royal care of them when they
come again. We beg these gentlemen to remember that
when they come again, as we trust they will come, they
■hall have ample apace for their ever-increasing num
bers, and we ask them to reciprocate any alight courtesy
which Atlanta may abow them during their present ses
sion, by telling their friend; at homo and elsewhere that

"New York. October 16, 1906.”
There are thousand* of honest men like the young
unlverilty man, who care nothing for the foolish crit-
icleme with which wounded politicians and jealous news
papers lampoon the editor of The New York American,
but who have learned to look on William R. Hearat aa the
only personality and the only power through which they
can hope to see the correction of the evils which op
press the time, and the establishment of the methods
which honest men seek In government
The corporations and their candidate may empty
their carloads of abuse upon the people's candidate,
but when the last word haa been said, they are going
to march up to the polls on the 6th of November and
vote straight and clean for the man who Jias given
pledges that they know by experience carry the Intention
and the capacity to perform.
We quote here the closing paragraph of The News
and -Courier's excellent editorial on thla line:
"But," replies tome carper, "this la .melodrama,
not politics. Thla man haa a ‘private grief,' hla words
are to he discounted by It.” 8o, too, had "Mac
duff, the Thane of Fife," when hla poor country al
most afraid to know Itaelf,” and all htk "pretty ones.”
"all my pretty ones and their dam at one fell swoop"
were dead, he cried: ’
"But, gentle Heavens.
Cut short all Intermission; front to front
Bring thou this fiend of Scotland and myself;
Within my sword's length set him; If he 'scape,
Heaven forgive him too!"
Who But Hcarst?
The Hon. Henry Watterson, who Is nothing If not
illogical, wrlUng of the New Yqrk election In The Courier-
Journal, aaya:
"That the hlgh-jlnks of the hlgh-flnanciers should
provoke reaction, goea without laying. Those of
them who ore not the merest fools for luck, are
mainly rogues Incarnate and remorseless—crime-clad,
top-heavy and money-mad—knowing nothing, and
caring less, for a public .opinion degraded by com-
i merclaltxed politicians in both parties and corpora
tion newspapers, differing from the Hearat papers
oaly In the daftness of their touch and the subtlety
of their Influence. They fency they own the earth.
The Brand Dukes of Fftissla are scarcely more In
sensate. All that the beat of them know Is how to
pile up money by devious means. They have sown
the wind and In the end will surely reap the whirl
wind. Bet, why through Hearit?"
And with who save Hearat could the people oppose
this gang? Who else haa fought these "Incarnate and
remorseless rogues" save lfearst? Who elae haa
exposed them, restrained them, enjoined • them from
their Iniquities end tyrannies? Who but Hearst haa ever
dared to tnove against them, and yrho but Hearat haa
ever been able to prevail against them? Who of all men
do these "crime-clad, top-heavy, money-mad" fear as
(hey fear Meant, and who of all the doubting, hesitating
friends of the common people has one-half the chance to
win against the money-mob aa Hearst has?
“With Hearst," says The Charleston News and Cour
ier, "because Hearst Is the handiest weapon. Hearat
Is the nearest brick-bat. When the danger la Imminent,
does one stop to measure the length of foils with bri
gands?”
Even If Hearst shared what the terror-stricken gratt
ers have painted him, how trifling a danger Is he,
when the people are faced by "rogues Incarnate and
remorseless—crime-clad,” etc. Taking The Courier-Jour

We agree with our Charleston contemporary that one

The Two Ailditoriums.
Bide by side with the grgat city auditorium which
Is mounting now with marvelous strides to a certainty,
there Is going up. Just as surely, the great auditorium
of the Baptist Tabernacle.
There Is no conflict between those great enterprise*.
Dr. Broughton's proposition was the pioneer one. His en
terprise was started many months ago and 2100,000 Is
now In hand to see It safely to a conclusion. He haa a
splendid lot—perhaps the best and most convenient that
Is now available In the city of Atlanta. He haa a vast
and comprehensive experience In auditoriums, hcvtng
spoken In most of the great halls of England and of
America. He has given year* of study to the formation
of plana both of construction and of acoustics and of
comfortable and luxurious equipment. We may be sure
that Dr. Broughton's Tabernacle will grow and that it
will grow to be a thing of beauty and an ornament to
Atlanta. Finding Its mission In the great religious and
moral meetings with which Atlanta h Enlivened and In
structed many times a year, and in the great 8unday
services of the Tabernacle, It will fill a purpose which
will be both of profit and of adornment to Atlanta. It
deserves the richest and heartiest cooperation of the
Atlanta people.
The great Auditorium Armory It now an assured
and glorious fact—$79,000 raised In less than seven
minutes tolls the story of Atlanta’s faith and the practi
cal foundation upon which It la founded. The city will
back the enterprise and It will-be built In the end by the
city's money. It will represent the best and highest type
of convention convenience'and construction In America.
It will be finished, we trust, tithin’ the next twelve
month*, and when It Is thrown open to the world we
shall be ready In royal'hospitality and ample equipment
to entertain In their deliberations the commercial, po
litical and religious assemblies of the republic.

We wish well to all who co-operate with him. and we
shall be especially pleased If this consummation devout
ly to be wished is to be brought to pass not only practi
cally but speedily.
Any stroke of genius that can put the Idle negroes
of the South to work-will go further than any other rem
edy toward the solving of the perpetual problem which
their presence makes.
The Business Men’s “Exchange.”
The business men of Atlanta wero entertained at a
Dutch supper last night by George W. Parrott.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss plans
by which the business Interests of Atlanta will be able to
protect themselves after January 1, when the Boykin
anti-bucket shop bill goes Into effect.
All wire houses will be closed up on January 1, leav
ing Atlanta's merchants and business men without Infor
mation of a character to be of benefit as compared with
the complete and continuous market quotations, statis
tics and ngws from the.world's great money centers that
TUESDAY, OCTOBER SI. 1904
have been laid at their doors at a nominal. If at any, cost
at all for years past.
A few of the foremost men In the cotton, grain,
flour, corn anfl provisions trade and capitalists are wak
ing to the fact that on the closing of these wirehouses
they must of necessity for a greater portion of the day
work entirely In the dark as to what Is happening In the
centers that make prices and compile statistics. **
The cotton trade will bo the greatest sufferer, In that
It will be Impossible to keep track of the Influences—
statistics, foreign and domestlo—state of the trade In all
civilised countries—that govern prices.
Thla cotton exchange should be organised on a
high plane and aa it Is to be worked under the auspices
of the Chamber of Commerce, it la certain that It will be
composed of representative business men only.
In this connection The Georgian would suggest that
It look carefully Into the standing of the people whom
they look t6 for a wire. See that responsible firms In
the different markets—New York, New Orleans and Chi
cago—are bona fide members of the different exchanges.
Otherwise gambling may be the chief aim of the party
furnishing the wire.

Wo are helping to make the street car ayatem rich,
but the street car ayatem la putting itself to no especial

Tho street car system complains that there are aotno

Because of these difficulties the street car magnates

Of Admiral Collgny history declares | ment William Pitt said:

An Intellectual giant, clean of life,
tender hearted as a little child, and In
every crisis of life as brave ae a lion,
Collgny was one of the world’s most
remarkable men.
This great and good man may be
termed the "Father of the Huguenots”
—the body of men who have written
their names large In the hletory of our
country.
When, In 1686, old Louis the Four
teenth revoked the Edict of Nantes, he
did the worst possible thing for his
country. The Revocation dealt France
the blow from which It has never re
covered, while at the same time It
proved to be a great blessing to Eng
land, Holland and, later on, to the
United States of America.
It Is said that the pen-stroke by
which Louis effectuated the Revoca
tion of the Edict cost him, practically
at once, a million of his finest sub
jects. * ,
The fleeing Frenchmen went largely
to England and Holland.

and James II (whose cause Louis so
ardently espoused). It was a Huguenot,

James and France.

for solidity, force, sagacity and wisdom
of conclusion under difficult circum
stances no nation or body of men
stands In advance of the general con
gress of Philadelphia. All attempts to
Impose despotism upon such men will
be ruin. We shall be forced ultimately
to retract. Let us retract while we
can. not when we must.”
Of the body thus complimented In
such glowing terms by the illustrious
Pitt, the Huguenots may be said to
have been the Inspiring spirits. Of
the Philadelphia congress a Huguenot
was the first president. O? its seven
(residents three were Huguenots—
Laurens, Jay and Boudlnot.
In our entlfe history there are no
grander namee than those of Henry
Laurens, John Jay, Albert Gallatin and
Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton was
not a full-blooded Huguenot, but It
was from the breast of a full-blooded
Huguenot mother tht he drefv his life.
It was a Huguenot who built and
