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 ceive IL Leaves Prison For a Walk and Is Supplied With Dainties. 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.

Grammar la one of my studies wlrh I havo In (knot wlrh my teecbrr asked me 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. .
