Welcome to Governor and Mrs. Terrell
We extend an especial welcome to his excellency.
Governor Joseph M. Terrell, upon his return to Atlanta
today.
. For twelve hours the capital of Georgia was Involved
in doubt and apprehension as to the safety of the chief
executive of the state. Governor and Mrs. Terrell
. were on the east coast of Georgia and Florida, and wero
in the recent storm which swept the Peninsula and the
Isle of Cuba, and for two days the governor's friends had
not heard from him.
We cannot afford to let the governor and his charm
Ing wife come back to Atlanta, after such an experience,
without extending to them the general and undivided con
gratulations of thp peoide of Georgia upon their fortunate
escape and upon their present safety.
The governor has many friends beyond the pale of
politics, and to these his safety and prosperity Is some
thing more than a mere civic consideration. Few men
have greater charm In their personal and Individual re
lations with men than the governor of Georgia. Ho la
an admirable comrade, a capital story teller, an unselflsh
-companion on a frolic or a march, and no man who has
ever been so fortunate as to spend with him a halcyon
'day df holiday Is likely to forget the genlat glow of his
comradeship or the charm of his kindly manner.
We have not always pulled in the same current of
opinion with the governor of Georgia, and we have not
hesitated jrhen we differed with him to frankly say so.
But we are at least too wise if we are not at last too old
to permit political differences to check in any way the
pleasant current of personal associations.
And so. with cordial pleasure both upon our own part
and upon the part of many of The Georgian's readers, we
express the pleasure which we all fee! In seeing Joseph
M. Terrell, of Meriwether, safely back to his home and to
hit high estate.
A Board of Trade Needed.
i If the movement Ina-igurated at the Dutch supper
tendered by Mif George W. Parrott on last Monday nlghi
to tbo business men of Atlanta, for tbe purpose of
ganlslog a cotton, stock, grain and petroleum exchange,
proves successful, Mr. Parrott will have done as much
the good of Atlanta, from a business standpoint, as any
single cltlxcn of this period of our progress.
It will be the stepping stone to other and greater
things; and, while the proposed exchange Is an absolute
necessity, Its benefits will be small when compared
with the beginning of business organizations In Atlanta.
The organization of a Board of Trade will be the nat
ural sequence of the dally meetings of our merchants.
An organized board of trade has been needed
Atlanta tor many years. Our city la behind many othera
In this respect. We have been working every man for
himself, to the detriment of Atlanta long enough, and not
only our own peoplo, but people outside of Atlanta, have
been kept in the dark as to the amount of business
transacted. We have been overlooking pne of the big
gest advertising schemes ever offered us.
Let us have a board of trade. Give the press statis
tics. Let our own people know what we are doing. Out
sider! will be quick to see our business enterprise.
The banks have an organization. The Atlanta Clear
ing House Association publishes figures daily. All of us
know how the banking business has grown. This asso
ciation has a session dally, each bank being represented
by a clerk, and is presided over by a manager.
Why not have a board of trade? The city press would
gladly publish any and ail statistics it would see fit to
make public. Let tbe people have facta. They do not get
them.
How many of our people know how many bates of cot
ton arc handled in Atlanta in a year? A prominent New
York paper placed last year's receipts at about 50,000
bales, when in fact 176,000 bales would bave been more
nearly correct
How many mules are bought and sold In a year in
Atlanta? Our city claims to be third In the mule trade.
Jobbers in flour tell us that an enormous amount of
flour la handled in Atlanta.
Corn, oats and hay are bought and sold by the car
load.
Hogs, cattle, sbeep, meat and lard are sold.
Give the world statistics, give your prices and we
will surely be successful.
All these and many other things can be accomplished
through a board of trade..
Therefore, let us have one.
Consuelo and Her Duke.
We are sorry that Consuelo Vanderbilt and her ducal
husband have fallen upon a flnal difference.
Of all tbo American girls who have sold them
selves to European titles within these twenty years we
. like' Consuelo best.
ft Is not easy to Imagine that any tull-blpoded, clear
headed American girl could ever find It In her heart to
choose, through love, one of these' spent and attenuated
princelings of an effete nobility In preference to the line,
reaolute and spirited men of her own country. And wo
take It for granted, simply and naturally, that without
exception, the marriages of this type havo been based
upon the material considerations, and the social nspira-,
tlons which are tho life and breath of the class to
which they belong.
In this view the Vanderbilt girl has at leaat held
herself highly, and has commanded the highest pre
mium which European distinction has set ngalnst Anter
lean money and American charm. Tho name of Marl
borough Is one of tho oldest and noblest In Europe and
the English realm hai no title that was better worth the
beauty and fortune of an American heiress than that for
which Consuelo's mother achemed and traded with con
summate skill some ten years ago.
Tbe flrat was tbe only fault her countrymen havo
ever found with the young daughter of the Vanderbilts.
She hsi reflected honor upon her race and country In
every relation of her married life. Like a true, brave
American girl, she has assumed her place In the English
and European courts simply, clearly and without either
embarrassment or affectation. In tho dignity of virtue and
of self-respect she has nobly held her own, and has com
manded not only tbe admiration but the absolute respect
of the EngllshBcourt and of the English king and queen.
She has been a loyal and always helpful wife. She has
been a good mother in the eye and Judgment of her world,
and In all the garish gossip and unseemly scandal of the
circles In wblch she moved, this daughter of a demo
cratic republic has been the lady unimpcached and the
woman unstained by rumor or report.
We have been proud of Consuelo, Duchess of Marl
borough—we Americans who cast an occasional eye
acroes the seas—and somehow wc bave it in our minds
that the little woman whom we look upon as higher and
better than the average of her class, is In trouble now
and In sorrow not of her own making or desert. '
We hold yet In this free, republic to standards and
to sentiment which does not permit us to even understand
how a nobleman of England could separate himself from
a good and great woman because of disappointment with
her financial dowry which he thoroughly and accurately
estimated at his marriage. It the Marlborough dukelet
was a mere speculator, gambling on tbe death of Con-
suelo's father or hts failure to marry a second time, he
was doubly unworthy of the American girl, who has shown
herself from first to last to be nobler In every way than
this scion of Britain's best.
Tbe sympathy of the English speaking race, and we
think the pulse of the English court, is with Vanderbilt's
daughter.
Whatever is good and notable in the Marlborough
bouse within the decade has been Inspired or done by
the wife. Tbe husbaod left to bimsejf or linked to a
lesser woman and a larger fortune, will doubtless drift
back to hla level among the hopeless mediocrity of Eng
lish dukes.
We are glad to bave Consuelo back again. She was
always too good for her foreign environment.
After all old Andrew Carnegie has the sense and
sound Judgment on them all*
“Better a coachmau," laid he tg his doping niece,
The Study of the Problem.
Our neighbor The Constitution, wblch so heartily
indorses Dr. Stirling's sensible suggestions as to a sci
entific study of the negro criminal, might Just as easily
and a little earlier have Indorsed exactly the same views
when they were twice presented editorially In The Geor
gian.
On the day before the riot, and twice since then, The
Georgian earnestly stated that rape was now seen to be
not more a crime of race than of individuals, and that
we should now proceed to study this question scientific
ally "aa the expert* study cholera and yellow fever—for
tho germs.” .
We urged upon the officers of the law, the physicians
In charge, and the sociological experts to collect from
each and every criminal all possible data as to color, edu
cation, temperament, habits, association, drugs used, pre
vious history, heredity, religious affiliation, etc., and to
begin on the Individual criminal tbo study of the condl
tlons which had developed as a general passion the most
monstrous of human crimes.
This suggestion was widely and strongly Indorsed
by thdughtful men, and we are anxious now to see It
pass from the realm of mere suggestion into a line of
tangible action.
To do this It requires some organisation to begin.
Whereupon we respectfully present the matter to tho
attention of our Atlanta Sociological Society and trust It
will find time and inclination to give the matter some or
ganized attention.
Meanwhile,, Dr. Stirling's letter cotnalns some excel
lent suggestions, and although neither tbe doctor nor The
Constitution saw fit to Indorse the prior suggestion of The
Georgian, It gives us pleasure in a broader spirit to In
dorse both Dr. Stirling and The Constitution.
It Is the Idea we are after, not the Initiative. What
we want now Is not the credit but the collection of the
tacts in a connected way.
After going over the suggestions originally made by
The Georgian', Dr. Stirling offers this interesting informa
tion, and comment:
“In relation to all these question* and others
there exists a wealth of evldcnco which It is hardly
scientific to Ignore. There are for Instance tho ef
fects of New. Zealand's laws upon the Maoris, who
are represented In parliament, not according to their
numerical population, but according to other prin
ciples; there are the advancing negro racos of FIJI;
there Is the recent government Investigation In
South Africa upon the relations of the white arid tbe
colored populations; there are conditions In Jamaica,
where assault upon a white woman by a negro Is
unknown, although opportunity Is greater than here;
there li the complete safety which ladlea experi
enced here before and their almost complete secu
rity during the war; there are the conditions which
exist In Liberia and also In San Domingo; an dthere
are spots scattered all over the warmer parts of the
world front which Information might be gathered and
which would ijoubtless be glad to hear from us in re
turn. In none of these are conditions precisely the
same as hero;>mt allowing for all that there remains
sufficient similarity to make It possible that scientific
comparison would well Justify the trouble. The mere
fact that Buch an inquiry was afloat and was work
ing with tbe calm, unlmpassloned methods of scien
tific Investigation, would have a beneficial effect u|ion
both races, while Its conclusions would doubtless be
listened to with respectful attention and would have
the result of settling at least some disputes at the
same time that It certainly did not lower the charac
ter of our polemics.”
It only needs now some organized interest In the
matter. If the Sociological Society eannot take hold, it
might at least start the machinery and set tbe movement
astir.
THE MOCKING BIRD.—And now comes The
Mocking Bird, "A Magazine of Aspiration,” pub
lished at N'ewnan, with Percy Wiggle aa editor and
maanger, and Mlgnon Hall as associate editor.
And The Mocking Bird is a vary bright and at
tractive publication. Jr la well printed, and Its mat
ter Is well written. There la evidence of great
earnestness, of poetic faith and hope In Tbe Mocking
Bird. It Is easy to see that It pulses upon each page
Us name—"Aspiration.”
Mr. Wiggle has been connected with newspaper
work for some time in N'ewnan, and if indefatigable
Industry and high purpose Joined to earnest and tal
ented endeavor will make a success, wo feel sure
that The Mocking Bird will deserve and ahould re

Irontnn, Mo., Oct. 24.—Pleading that
he wished some books and papers from
hts trunk, J. Ralph Burton, former
United States senator frorii Kansas,
was permitted by Sheriff Marshall to
take a brief respite yesterday almost,
at the outaqt of hts slg months' term.
He walked to hts wife’s boarding bouse
and back to the iron county Jail.-
As Burton reached the street he saw
hts wife and little nlece just returning
from a drive. They accompanied, him
to the home of Dr. Smith, where Mrs.
Burton Intends to board. After a short
stay he returned to the Jail.
Burton's first day as a Federal pris
oner was lightened by visits from hts
wife, who brought meals she had pre
pared. They were of a delicacy and
abundance which contrasted strongly
with the meats of other prisoners.
A separate cell soon will be given the
former senator, who now has to share
his quarters with James .Wise, a con
victed poetoffice embezzler.
Burton Intends to do much writing
while In Jail. When released he In
tends to return to hts homo In Abilene
and resume hts law practice. Burton
took to hts cell with him the Bible he
read on tbe train nearly all the way
from St. Louis.

Vacancies existing both at West
Point and Annapolla from the - Fifth
congressional district, an examination
for both places will be held at tha
Boys’ High School building In this city
on January 12 by Major Slaton and his
assistants.
few days ago Midshipman Carl
Pickett, of Atlanta, was compelled to
resign his post on account of Impaired
eyesight. He had only one more year
at tbe academy, and It Is unfortunate
that he had to give up with the covet
ed goal so near.
All applicants for the naval or mili
tary academy should notify Major 81a-
Ion of their Intention to tako the ex
aminations. It Is necessary to take
the physical examination before a Uni

to write ahnnL. It Is a very iilse study A
when I gel older I think I will Itko It
quite good, itnimmnr Is tbe study Hint
.The following Is the address of
President A. G. Brunsman, of the Car
riage Builders' National Association,
delivered at the opening session at
Piedmont park Tuesday morning:
We are assembled here this morn
ing In thirty-fdurth annual conven
tion.
Our position Is unique and different
from previous sessions In the fact that
we meet as a body for the first time
south of tho Ohio river, In the land of
Dixie.
Our meeting Is further somewhat dif
ferent than those held previously in
the fact that we meet at a time and
place with two kindred associations—
one of them a wagon association, which
Is certainly a vehicle and an Impor
tant one. The other, a vehicle associa
tion which ire trust has grown suffi
ciently to ascend to the heights of
becoming part of oUf national body.
I will not take your time this morn
ing by going Into the details of our
past history—that we are thirty-four
years old, alive and hustling Is self-*
evident; that we are a worthy Insti
tution and must have accomplished s'
purpose for which we were bom—these
are days of changing conditions, and
had our charter members (some of
whom we have the pleasure of having
with us, but many of whom have gone
to the great beyond or dropped out of
the aggressive procession) foreseen the
conditions of today, they probably
would have palled In their undertak
ing.
As an association, changes have been
mnde from time to time to meet con
ditions, and ws as an association stand
ready to change again and again ac
cording to the demands of the times
or new arising conditions.
Not a Monopoly.
We are not a monopoly or combina
tion; we can not and do not presume
to dictate to our members method or
manner of operating their plants or
disposing of tbelr product, but we do
stand for soettn and business harmo
ny, protection on common grounds such
as freight, legislation and other mat
ters which will be discussed In conven
tion later.
We could no doubt extend the field
and benefit our Industry by the Intro
duction of by-laws that would enable
the calling, of special meeting*, should
occasion or demands of the Industry
require It.
We, the carriage manufacturers,
stand for the best Interests of the
carriage trade, without menace to our
brother on one side—the accessory ma
terial man—and on the other side
the dealer or distributor.
We stand for advanced utilities, bet
terment of labor and manufacturing
conditions; In fact, for an enlightened,
up-to-date Industry and modern meth
ods.
As an association, we can listen to,
suggest and advise our members.
• We can bring them together for har
mony and business, we can place be
fore them every opportunity that trade
conditions demand. Beyond this they
must act as Individuals.
Neither the manufacturer of the fin
ished vehicle nor the producer of ac
cessory parts has had a rosy path:
looking back a few years you will find
the "course" strewn with much wreck
age.
Conditions Are Bettering.
The accessory trades seem to bo bet
tering their condition to somo extent,
but tho vehicle maker remains pretty
much In the same rut. He at this time
faces enormous advances In cost of
production, higher-priced material and
naturally with general prosperity high
er paid labor.
He has been providing against these
conditions for several years by adding
a few acres of floor space to his fac
tory, Increasing his output, doing all
he could to avoid the "rocks” in sight,
with the prospects of finally striking
destruction on the "reefs" of over
production.
During our meetings your attention
will be brought to many matters of
Importance—the report of Mr. Wilson,
able chairman of the executive commit,
tee.
Report and occasionally a few words
from our modest secretary and treas
urer.
A discussion of the hsrdwoid condi
tions by special committees.
Hardwood Gstting Scares.
This feature of our business Is
somewhat alarming.
I have been told that according to
carefully compiled statistics, that at
the present rate of consumption tbe
entire available 'supply of hardwood
lumber will be exhausted in less than
30 years. '
Tills probably will not affect you or
me to any great extent, except that
prices will .keep soaring higher and
higher, but we must provide today for
conditions 34 years hence, as our pred-
ecessorq provided for us 34 years ago.
A report of our good roads commit
tee, In fact, a general discussion oh
these lines—a discussion that Is of In
terest to every man and woman here
present, a subject that Is the mainte
nance of our Industry.
The improvement of roads, I am glad
to see, has been advancing with won
derful strides during the past five years.
Should Jt continue proportionately, tho
vehicle Ipdustry will soon have no spe
cial season except In the extreme
North—good roads will enable the use
of the buggy, rain or shine, winter or
summer.
Automobiles have come probably to
stay. They are at least a harbinger
of good roads. As to their competi
tion and effect on our industry, I will
waive any opinion I may have and
later we will listen to an address on
the subject of automobiles by one of
our members.
Freight and Classification.—This is
a very Important factor. It has been
handled by our qksoClatlon In the past
and must now because of enactment of
new laws, receive more attention than
ever before.
The value of this branch is beyond
estimate.
Today while you are gathered here
for business and pleasure there Is a
gathering of representative railroad
men at one of our large cities, con
sidering the matter of vehicle classi
fication.
The C. B. N. A. Is represented there
by appointed members and by our
own men thoroughly versed or. rail
road matters.
Many pages of argument and data
for exhibit have been prepared, In fact,
a work Is going on that only large as
sociations like ours can consistently
make effective.
You are not worrying about this
meeting—why should you? It Is. be
ing cared for by the sinews you have
provided.
The Tschnlesl School.
Our Technical School.-Only those
who represent you on the executive
committee realize the care given to this
branch of our association. The trus
tees can tell you best all about It, and,
gentlemen, 1 do hope that some day
or some time we can provide for this
school so that It will be the pride of
our Industry and a place for us to se
cure our future assistants.
It Is to be hoped that a live Car
negie will develop amongst us—If not,
then that a few philanthropists, desir
ing to perpetuate their good deeds, will
In departing leave behind them sub
stantial mementos to be employed In
Inoculating through this technical
school designs and economics that are
ever necessary.
There nr* other committees—all Im
portant, their report* are of. Interest
to our trade and I earnestly ask the
member* to be on hand sharply at 10
a. m. during the few days we are to
gether. A large attendance Is r.’cessary
to accomplish much good. -
Let us have a full free discussion on
all matters. I assure you all a fair
field and no favorite*
. I have talked quite enough. There
are others to be heard from and It Is
not my wish or desire to extend this
meeting to a point of Its being tire*
some to you.
As to the Exhibits*
Before concluding I must say a word
about our accessory exhibits—the en
tertalnment committee here has en
deavored to have their entertainments
at such times not interfering with busl
Many houses are represented by their
chief executives and all by able repre
sentatlves.
I am sure you will be glad to meet
them and they to meet you.
The variety of material, novelties,
etc., are for your Inspection at ma
chlnery hall at the .fair grounds.
. Ladles and gentlemen, I thank you
for your presence here, especially do 1
thank the ladles, and may their num
ber be greater at each convention.

A PART from the fnct that they wore
both Englishmen, both British sub
jects, and, later on, both stanch
American patriots, there was between the
Puritan and the Cavalier but little In com-
n Tho men who settled Now England and
tho ineu who settled Vlrgipla wore alike
great, but In the greatness of the two eete
of men there was a marked dlfferance.
In morality, lu prudence. In thrift, the
Now Englander was always ahead of the
son of the Old Dominion, but In depth of
principle. In brain-grasp and In enthusiasm
for the ideal tho Virginia was ever head
ami shoulders aitovo hub Northern brother.
For everything that estate .there Is n
cause, and the explanation of the differ
ences between the I'nrltan and the Cava
lier Is not far to seek. M
The men who settled New England gath
ered themaelves together Into towns, while
the men who went to Virginia llTetl after
the ohl feudal order, occupying targe es-
tstes In the country, and having but little
to do with town or city life.
This fact It was that so effectual? dif
ferentiated the New Englander from tbe
' tHo* New Englander's mental vision was
lxmndod by his township. Beyond t the
petty affairs of the "town meeting his
SnliHl did uot roam, while the sou of the
ohl Dominion was intellectually related to
the concerns of tbe entire province.
In Mstsnehnsetta. the whole people ruled,
while In Virginia the few ruled. The New
England "town meeting Is the Indisputa
blefountain-head of our democracy, while
for a long tlme-tn fact, quite up to the
Revolution—Virginia was the hot-bed of
"Royalty,” being Inclined fsr more to mon
archy than to representative democracy.
And yet, wheu the crisis cauie. It wot
Virginia rother than New England that
took the lead In the mighty struggle agalust
King George and hts parliament.
