Behold, a Dreamer Gometh!
The Western and Atlantic railroad of the atat* of
Georgia la destined, In the opinion of The Georgian, to
play a big part in the future of thin atate, and, In all
probability, in the future of the entire country.
In laying thla we aaaume that the road lx going to
be extended to the aeacoaaL And tho assumption ia not
by any means a rath one. When ‘HddflOf Alexander
started out a few years ago with the announced purpose
to force that subject upon the attention of the, state,
casual obaerrers were Inclined to think that he had tak
en a big contract on hla hands, and experienced politi
cians were disposed to regard the proposition in a spirit
of good humored levity.-
But Mf. Alexander hsd evidently planned hit cam
paign with a pretty fair accounting for the tendencies
•f the human mind. Ha publicly declared his absolute
conviction that the road would be built. He said publicly
that the only thing necessary to be done was to get people
to talking about It, that the thing, being In Itself Inher
ently a wise and proper thing to do, would furnish Its
own argument as toon as people began to discuss u,
and that thereafter it would become in Increasing degree
a popular demand.
Apparently tbe prediction la now well on IU way to
ward fulfillment, and if one may Judge from the ut-
terances of the preaa and the casual remarks of Indi
viduals, public sentiment is crystallising now with mar-
vslous rapidity in favor of tbe extension.
The methods adopted by the advocate of the work
were simple. He first set to work to solidify the sent!-
ment of one county In favor of tbe proposition. As »oon
as DeKalb county had lined up In solid phalanx, he
delivered addresaea In a number of cltlea and towns
scattered through the state, each of which became a
center of discussion. from which the Idea radiated In
widening circles.
Thereafter the discussion of the matter before the
legislature and In the preis made It an object of vision all
over the state. The effort In the last legislature, first
to sell the present road, and afterward# to execute a new
lease on It, concentrated and solidified attention, and nat
urally the advocates of extension became the oarnest lead*
era of-opposition to the other schemes. Their defeat has
put behind the extension proposal an organlted support.
The Georgian takes tb# same view as to the ultimate
outcome that wae expressed by the author of the propo
sition and the logic of It may be expressed In a syllo-
*gtsm like this: *
First, Whatever is wise and prudent to do In public
affairs will sooner or later be done If It once comes to be
seriously considered by a tree electorate.
8<cond, It is wise and prudent to extend the state
road to the sea and the subject is now being seriously
considered by a free electorate.
Therefore the state road will sooner or later be ex'
tended.
There Is no doubt In the world about the correctness
of this logic. Pessimists and doubters will and do ques
tion tbs soundness of the first premise, and It is easy
enough to point out many wise and prudent things which
•re not done though earnestly urged. The fallacy, bow.
aver, in comparing these things with the proposition
under discussion lies in the fact that, no matter how wise
and prudent a thing may be, nor how earnestly urged.
Its advocate. In order to succeed, must hare faith In the
people.
He cannot build from the top but must carry his pro
posal atralght to the masses of men. The politician‘Is
always timid. He never has faith. He waits and listens
for the voices of the people. He never proposes. He
only accedes.
Tht man who sxpsett to accomplish must rssch ths
politician, not throuQh hit reason, but through hit respon
sive obedience to what the people think.
And so we repeat again that thla subject was taken
straight to the people. It Is a wits snd prudent thing
to do. Ths people are talking about It. The balance Is
but a question of time. Tbe road will be built.
And so believing, we cannot abstain from asking what
will be the consequence. And now let us answer ths
quattion snd prophecy.
The road will reduce charges snd yet pay large
profits.
The intermediate stations will get what they never
have had, a square deal. .
The country will blossom Into small industries and
grow rich Instead of being mere tributaries to the city.
And yet, because of the prosperity of the small
town* and tbe country, the centers of population will
prosper more than ever.
The road will have a terminus at every ;
j port on the Atlantic and at least one on the gulf.
Alabama. Tennessee and Kentucky will he quick to
see that by building their connections they also can be
come independent of tbe feudal lords now rich in privi
lege. ,
Tbe water will be squeezed out of the other roads in
Georgia because the fact will be exposed that their pres
ent apparent value, constantly enhancing, is based on
nothing and consists In nothing but the right to collect a
tax from the people under tbe name of rates for ser
vice.
The state will rapidly absorb the other lines and the
counties and towns will acquire the branches.
Tbe basis of freight rates will be changed. Instead
of>a complicated system of rates based on the principle
of charging "nil that the traffic will, bear,” rates will
be based on the principle of charging, with a limited
classification, only so.much as will warrant and secure
the best service and equipment, and pay a fair Income
over.
It wilt become apparent that a passenger, who takes
care of and feeds himself, can be advantageously hauled
Just as cheap as a hog of the same weight that has to
be fed and watched and moved. Passenger rates will
therefore be cut down In such remarkable-measure that
railroad passenger traffic will become- as -common as
street car riding and as profitable a business to the ear
lier. ' a r :
Transportation will be completely revolutionised.
The advantages of civilized progress will no longer be
withheld from the masses of men, but we will ail be per-
mltted to enjoy on rations) terms the heritage, of the
ages, now denied us by reason of. the stupid folly that
confers upon brutal privilege the franchise to exercise
monopoly. t .
The example of Georgia will 'be followed by other
states,,and private ownership of publfc opportunity-will
**nss.'
. Direct taxation (unless upon naked-land) will cease
and an ample public revenue be'collected for special use
of general rights. r
This, yon will say, Mr. Doubtqr. is a vision of D topis.
Well, ent this article out and put It away with a written
record of your opinion. Thon look at It "ton years from
today. - -

TOM WATSON’S GREAT TRIBUTE
TO SAM JONES ON SOTH BIRTHDAY
Lest We Forget the Greater Crime. ,
In the general letter setting forth to tbe country the
conditions of the Atlanta riot, the editor of The Qerglan
urged upon our contemporaries In the North "to help us
by giving two words In condemnation of rape where they
gave one to the condemnation of lynching.”
Some of these contemporaries have been disposed to
question the suggestion and to ask what The Georgian
means. We are glad to answer the question because the
reason -for doing so has received additional emphasis
la the folly and thoughtlessness of our own people.
The Georgian has been trying diligently for some
months to build up a public opinion among the leaders of
the negro race which would be brought with all its pow
er and effect upon the mass-of tbe race in condemnation
and awful warning against assaults upon white women.
The structure has been carefully erected and diligently
watched, and from It we have been hoping for the beat
things in every way. ' ' > ‘ •
Now then.'if «t this' time the newspapers of the
North have their columns filled from conter to circum
ference with columns and pages of denunciation of mobs
and lynching, .with scarcely a faint and feeble para
graph between, denouncing the crime which produces
the mob, why, ttjo negro papers scattered' from Alex
andria to K1 Paso will copy these utterances of the
Northern nSwspapeis and take to their hearts the comfort
that the whole volume of Northern sympathy • is with
them against .the white man who defends himself In the
mob, and that there la scarcely an appreciable denuncia
tion of the crime dn his part which hw maddened and
inspired tho mob to action.\ And so t™ public opinion
among the negroes which we have sought to use In this
great problem will work not for us but against us. '
These Northern newspapers can form no_cqnaeptlon
of the deadly and destructive influence which the unwise
and unbalanced construction of their editorials hare upon
the negro of the South.* If-they-would only be Just
enough to make It half and half, and give half'ns much
denunclatjon to rape ns'they do to lynching, they would
nt least neutralize 'the Impression of their limitless and
boundless sympathy with the negro without regard to
his crimes and misdemeanors.
The Meattowr. Broadax will publish an article which
it hat found in some stray copy of The New York Even
ing Post, and all the negroes who read Tho Broadax or
hear It read will go oIf saying to themselves that the en
tire North and the whole body of their own race In tho
South look with complacent indifference upon rape and
with monstrous norror upon lynching, and that they, when
they are lynched, become glorified martyrs over whose
wretched bodies prayers are sung and protests are made
that will eventually overwhelm the white mnn.
Now this Is whSt we mean to our Northern friends
when we say they can do us n service by magnifying
rather thnn minifying the crime which nrousea the South
to lawlessness and revenge. ,
Tbe negroes still retain the impression that the
Northern people are without exception their friends
and liberators from slavery. Consequently, whatever
comes from the North has a large and effective in
fluence upon the negro mind. If this Impression en
courages them to believe that assaults upon white wo
men are merely trivial offenses as compared with the
greater offense of lynch law, then the negro will bo much
less likely to avoid the horrible crime for which ho Is
mobbed and to have even less fear of-a fate which car
ries along with it the halo of martyrdom.
It la surely a reasonable request to our contem
poraries because they must reallxe that the annihilation
of the body and, of the thing better than life In a good
woman, ia at least ns great a crime as the destruction
of a brutal negro by a 'nob, and realizing this, they
cannot fall to do sufficient Justice to the South to equalize
the comments which carry the expression and the Impres
sion of their attitude and opinion, to this ignorant and
excitable mass that Is watching them constantly with anx
iety god with Imitation.
Sorrowful to say, our own people in the South have
swiftly and thoughtlessly fallen into the same habit that
Tbe Georgian has so earnestly condemned In our North
ern friends, nnd In our eagerness to clear our skirts of ap
proval of the slaughter of the innocent by Irresponsible
mobs, we have thundered so much and "deplored" so
much along that line, that we ourselves have practically
obliterated tbe memory of the greater and more awful
crime. In the walling and lamentation that we have
made over the punishment of it.
We must see to It in the South that our own senrllo
apprehension of Northern sentiment does not so far ap
proximate the negroes' consideration of it that we shall
cloud the lesion which we have tried so long to teach,
and which H is so vitally necessary that wc should
teach; that the crime of all crimes is rape and that no
other la to be compared witn It in enormity or in punish
ment. - *
In this sentiment only are wc safo.

In Saturday’s Issue of-The Georgian,
as "A Saturday Evening," the editor
contributed an article of appreciation
and contrast on Sim Jones and Topi
Watson. In It he referred to a beauti
ful sketch which Mr. Watson wroffi of
Sam Jones Just after the /allure of the
former’s candidacy for the vice presi
dency In 1896. That sketch was not
available whan Saturday's editorial
wa* written, and. the editor, expressed
the gratification It would give him to
reproduce It. In response to that sug
gestion the article in question has been
sent htm by J. L. Baskin, of Temple,
Ga., Just as It appeared • In the old
Peoples Party Paper." published In
Atlanta In 1*97. Tho paper Is dated
October 77, 1997, and Is already yellow
with age.
In ottering It, Mr. Baskin writes:
J Temple Go., Oct. 72, 1906.
Colonel John T/Gravcs, Editor The
Atlanta Georgian: - .
. —I see In The Georgian you
.would like jo have Tom Watson's let
ter to Sam Jones on his Both birthday
Here -It Is. 1 have kept It as a souve
nir Of rare merit. I would love to havo
It reproduced.
There afe, or have been, three men
I have on my list—Sam' Jones. Tom
Watson nnd John T. Graves.*
Yours In great esteem,
„ „ „ J. L. BASKIN.
P. S.—Excuse pencil, as I can't write
With pen. I am nearly 80 years old.
J. L. B.
The article follows In full:
Last week Rev. Sam Jones celebrated
his noth birthday.
In bis palatial home at Cartersvllte,
every dollar of whose value was coined
In the golden mint of his genius, worm
friends gathered about him to give evi
dence of their love, nnd to speak In be
half of all Georgians the words of
praise this greatest of Georgians has
io well earned.
For twenty years Sam Jones has been
the wonder of congregations, tho de
spair of Imitators, the puzle of plod-
ders, the scandal of the “unco gutd and
rigidly righteous,” the wayward son of
the hig-wlg bishops, the delight of the
lecture hall, and the Prince Bountiful
of the people—giving away the thous
ands so easily mode and so charitably
spent.
In the good year 1*77, when both of
us wore not so old, nor so gray, nor so
wrinkled, Sam Jones -Ut down In this,
veritable town of Thomson, and began
to go for the devil and his angels In a
manner which was cntlrely'new to said
devil; also new to said angels.
We remember that we were then
trying to begin to practice law. Wo
walked three miles every morning to
Ihe office, loud n tin dinner bucket,
like any school boy, took the mid-day
Ideal alone undisturbed by the rush of
Clients (who were painfully slow about
rushing) and looked out upon the great
world in doubt as to our future lot
therein.
Some one happened to remark In our
hearing that there was a little preacher
up at the Methodist church who was
knocking the crockery around In lively
style, and who was crusting the Jackets
of the amen corner brethren In a war
which brought the double grunts out
of those fuzzy fossils.
Pacific men love combative men,
hence we at once strolled up to see
what was going, on.
As a rule we are hot ravenously fond
of sermons. Wo mhko the confession
with aluimc anil humiliation. When
we have hoard the same commonplaces,
about*00,000 times, we requlro ail of
our native politeness to keep down
yawns, nods, and other signs of fatigue
and extreme lassitude. We did not
yawn the day we went to hear Bam
Jones.
There he was, clad In a little black
Jmnp-tni! coat, and looking as much
like the regulation preacher as we look
like the Archbishop of Canterbury.
He was not In the pulpit. He was
right next to his crowd, standing with
In the railing, and almost In touch of
the victims.
His head was down, as If he
holding on to his chain of thought by
the teeth, but hfs right hand was going
energetically up and down, with all
e grace of a,.
And, Lord! hmv he did hammer the
brethren. How he did peel the amen
corner. How he did smash their sol
emn self-conceit, their profound self-
satisfaction. llieCr peaceful copart
nership with the Almighty, their placid
conviction that they were the trustees
of the New Jciusalem
Wc sinners looked on, listened, grin
ned. It was all we could do to keep
from saying, "Sick 'em, Sain!"
We knew some of those men. We
sinners knew their falllrtgs. We won
dered where Jones had learned It nil,
We rejoiced exceedingly, and the
amen corner brethren sweated In their
great agony
After awhile, with solemn. Irresisti
ble force. Jones called on theke breth
ren to rise In public,' confess their
short-comings, and kneel for Divine
Grace.
And they knelt. With groans, and
sobs, and fears, these old bell-weth
ers of the flock fell on their knees, and
cried aloud In their distress.
And the Utt'.e than In the short-tall
coal was master of the situation.
Then what?
He turned his guns upon us sinners,
tin# he enfiladed us. He raked us fore
and aft. He gave u. giape and canis
ter and all the rest. He abused us Rno
ridiculed us; he stormed at us nnd
laughed at us: he called us flop-eared
hounds, beer kegs, and whisky soaks.
He plainly said that we were all hypo
crites and liars, and he Intimated,
somewhat broadly, that most of u»
would steal.
Oh, we had a time of It, I assure you,
For six weeks the farms and the stores
were neglected nnd Jones, Jones,
JONES, was the whole thing.
And the pleasantest feature of the
entire display of human nature was the
marked manner In which the amen
corner brethren enjeyed Sam's flaying
of us sinners
Before the thing was over those holy
men had almost recovered their bois
terous h'lmllltj. which being Interpret,
ed wm . r.t f. right ecusnce turned
wrong side outwards.
And nobody knows tjils better than
8am Jones.
Well, the meeting wound up. the
community settled back Into Its old
ways—but It hoi never been exactly
the same community since.
THE LATE REV. 3AM P. JONES.
HON. THOMAS E. WATSON.
Gambling disappeared, loud profani- things.
ty on the streets was heard no more,
and the bar rooms were run out of tho
county.
Seeing the manifestations of power
which Mr. Jones made day dfter day In
these meetings, we have never felt the
slightest surprise at hi* growth as an
evangelist. Wc felt then, and express
ed the feeling, that here was one of
the men of original genius whom Ood
Elves to mankind at very raro intervals.
What Is the secret of his power? No
one can tell, least of all, himself.
Who can tell the secret of the laws
by which one throat lias the hoarse
caw ef a crow, and another the gurg
ling sweetness of Jenny Lind? Who
enn tell why one boy can declaim Pat
rick Henry and put the audience to
sleep, while another boy will declaim
the same speech and break up the
same audience Into storms of applause?
Nay, who can tell why the same mu
sician or orator, or painter thrills with
the current Inspiration at one moment,
and a! the next It Is all gone?
Men of talent have their rules, thelf
little adages, their prim, precise regu
latlons. Give them certain materials
and certain conditions, and they arc
warranted to turn you out n certain
amount uf work. They are valuuble
men—perhaps the most valuable, for
every-day purposes. We need them:
can't get along without them. They
build good bridges, make good roads,
open the mines, run the factories, op
erate the railroads, cut our coats, make
dresses for our wives, sit in our courts,
draw salaries In our offices, usefully
act as governors, colonels end presi
dents.
But, oh, the men of genius! What
would the world be without them
the fleeting glories o
imperishable custody of
the canvas: they catch the {Hissing
dream of beauty and chain It forever
in the marble hands of the statue.
They sing to us, and the world llstqns,
delighted, melted, Inspired. They
play fur us and the light of their
thoughts illuminate the way for all
men down the corridors of Time, till
Time shall be no more. The man of
talent we must have, for life has Its
routine, Its drudgery—Its drays to
draw'. Its wood to hew, Its wheels to
turn, Jts prosaic commonplaces which
must be regarded. But whai would
life be without Its bugle calls to higher
nnd better things, the sun-hursts of In
spiration which reveal to our dellghte.1
vision the high table-lands of human
nobility and human happiness; the di
vine unwritten noiseless music within
our Innermost natures which only the
man of .;enlus can awaken?
If wc were asked to analyze the
power of 8am Jones we would say that
the chlel elements arc clear mental
vision fearless soul, kind heart, nnd
unbridled, Irreierem, witty tongue. His
good eves enable hltn to see the world
just as It lx—Its sad things. Its funny
things, Its sham things. In brutal
thlhss. Its terrible things. Its beautiful
His fearless soul leads hhn to de
scribe what he sees, and the immense
force of Truth and Realism becomes
his slly. His kind heart enables him
to denounce, yet not drive away, to
chastise, yet love, to punish, yet win
the culprit.
His want of reverence for other men,
their ways of speech and of life, un
chains him from the shackles of rant,
custom, routine, nnd conventionality.
It frees him from Imitation. He thus
gets room for his own Individuality to
grow, his own fountain to play.
Being freed entirely from ihe chains
which enslave so many thousands of
public men, his genius shines like a
star—Inexhaustible, radiant.
Put Talmage In one pulpit, and
Jones In another to deliver one sermon
In the same city, at the same time, and
Talmage might equal Jones in that
one sermon, end might get half the
crowd, for that one time. ,
But let them start In to preach a
series of thirty or sixty sermons In the
same city at the same time, and before
a week could elapse Talmcge would
have nobody In his church but the
salaried rliolr, the deaf man In the
amen corner, and the Janitor. Jones
would enpture the whole business. His
fccimons would grow better day by day,
as his genius expanded, his thoughts
Intensified, and his heart warmed lo the
,vork.
You c >uld no more exhaust Jones
than you could exhaust a star: while
Talmage, like all speakers of mere
talent, Is filled for the occasion, like a
lamp; and when that particular supply
of oil Is burned out, you must wait for
light till the poor thing can be filled
again
Here's to you, 8am Jones!
Some day we shall meet beyond the
evening and the sun-set snd the Crea
tor of us both know that not one
only of us tried to lift humanity and
to make It better, witer, happier.
And because one, only, succeeded
there Is no good reason why the fail
ure should not be generous and send
greeting to tho success.
May twenty other years come and go,
finding you constant In strength, con
stant In good works, constant In be-
nlen Influence over Jhe erring of

To the Editor of The Georgian:
I am glad to see that our governor,
elect, Hon. Hoke Smith, Is taking an
active interest In n thorough organisa
tion of the state militia.
We need nt present a large, thor-
oughly organized state guard, well
equipped. We should be prepared for
any emergency that may arise. our
governor should be provided with such
means os may be necessary to enable
hint to enforce tho laws of the state I
am glad to say he has Impressed me
with the belief that he Intends to see
that the laws are strictly enforced-
not only that, but he means to give u>
a clean, economical government. (
oon t think he Is disposed to open up
netv offices for kin folks or political
friends, but to the contrary, I think he
Is disposed to, do away with some of.
flees, where one man can do what two
arc now doing. The people do not want
to pay two men .to do what ohe can and
should do. They are tired of "you
tickle me and I will tickle you." Mr
Smith Is under no obligations to any
political boss or bosses for his election
He Is under obligations to the mass.,
of the people for the grand landslide
he made In the August election.
He had the manhood and courage to
speak out what he knew the people
wonted. We hope he will be equally
courageous In doing, as governor, what
he knows the people want.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
You are doing a work for the coun
try at large that you could not have
done os a member of either house of
the American congress.
You are at work on the greatest prob.
lent before the people of America, one
that challenges the earnest thought of
all thinkers among us. In the solu
tion of this problem your name will be
enrolled among the benefactors of the
human race.
You arc forcing this question before
the nation as the question of all ques
tions. It will have to be settled as a
national and not as a mere local Issue.
The writer has stood with you for years
In your advocacy of separation of the
races, and every other solution of the
Issue we have hailed with absorbing
Interest.
Through your columns I wish to pre
sent to tho readers of The Oeorglan
some Ideas of Bishop J. M. Walden, of
the Methodist Episcopal church, de
livered before a meeting of preacher,
recently In the city of Cincinnati. The
Northern bishop says: "This country
will not fulfill It. object, until the na
tion cornea to roh.lder It. relation with
the negro a. that of a guardian to a
ward. This problem 1. not a problem
of the North alone, not* of the South
alone. It Is a problem for the nation.
Thla nation which is So rich nnd pow
erful must solve the race question It
self."
This man talks like a statesman. We
of the South are nt work on the prob
lem, but It Is too great a question to be
satisfactorily settled without the help
of the entire nation. Let the great gov
ernment of the United States assist In
the solution of the future of the Afro-
American. .
In dealing with things local wc would
offer the following suggestions:
1. Let every negho rapist or one who
attempts rape, be castrated, branded
and exiled.
2. Let every negro convicted of a
felony be exiled?
3. Let every well-behaved negro be
encouraged.
4. Implant In the mind of the negro
the three Ideas of Industry, honeet and
home-making. .
5. Let the Gospel of Christ be
preached to the race by white mission
aries, and let the principles of that
gospel actuate the white people ns rar
an possible In restoring the harmony "f
6. Prohibit the dale of Intoxicating
