There 1* no argument, except against the ayatem. Vet the plan haa remained in vogue In Oeorgla since the beginning of county organisation, and will remain until the tax payers awaken and real ize that by not abolishing It they are robbing themselves. The county of Fulton haa been giving away from *40,000 to 176,000 a year by maintaining th* system. A* Atlanta'grow, this criminal gratuity will Increase until It reaches enormous proportions. The grand Jury, In Its presentments, makes the charge that during re cent years the county executive committees have declined to submit to the people the question of abolishing the fee system. Why hae the county executive committee failed to submit this question? Ik it that the putative "court house ring” (of which there hae been gos sip) really exists and hat had influence with the county cxecdtlvo commit tee? , ... . The time for action has not yet arrived, * But The Georgian makes Uils promise to the tax payers: The Georgian Intends to see If It cannot fercedhi county executive cpm mlttee to put this question to the people for vote. The days of the fee system are numbered. The Hunting Season. This ft the season when this English man would say, "It’s a lovely day gb out and kill something.” 'The first of November marks a great many periods, but It Impresses Itself on U)e greatest number of minds, perhaps, as being, the beginning of the open ssa son, when the drumming of the quail In the lowground le an Invitation to the elger hunter and his equally • eager dbg. Horse racing may be the sport of kings, but to follow the big dog with gun and bag over tho fallow fields, dotted with bare persimmon trees, and downhtto the hollows where the quail love to feed, Is essentially the eport of the average ifentleman. The busy man who for months has been poring over desks and ledgers, glancing at the calendar to see when a note or account is due. Involuntarily squints toward the first of November. It Is not printed In red. True, It Is All Halnts day, and aa auch occupies a conspicuous position among the festl vsls of the church, But It has no ecclesiastical signifi cance for that man of the ledger who Is "like a hound that hunts In dreams.' Across the chlumns of multiplied fig ures flit visions of the day when the air Is crisp and the skies are clear and , the blood goes tingling through the I veins at thought of a day’s sport In the ; open fields. In the excitement of the i chase lies not only the pleasure which ‘ sportsmen alone can know, but the . glow of health which lingers when the outing Is over and the hum of tho *clty, with Imperious Insistence, de mands that the Nimrod must become ' the elmple city gentleman once again. The man who does not love a dog U I unfit for companlonehlp with his tel • low-man, and there Is no time nor sea son when the aseoclation between the master and the humble exponent of fidelity becomes more close. Tho lap dog at the fire, that spotted or nament, the coach dog, the toy tattler and the pug become con temptible end we watch the shaggy setter, with his keen nose to tho ground, or the pointer, with uplirted foot, trained to utmost human Intelli gence not to (lush the covey anil yet to Indicate their location, with unerring precision. The ties that bind the hunt er and his dog are of that sacred and aubtle texture which only companion- ship in solitude can knit. Every hunter Is like the Homeric hero end his ever}' devoted field dog a faithful Argos. The gourmet will delight to find that the menu for several months hence contain quail on toast. Perhaps as "young owl," the same delicacy may figure there far Into the closed season. But no epicure beneath the sun will ever have the keen enjoyment of the hunter who goes out this morning. In the November fields, to bring down the bird which furnished forth hie feast. British News Accuracy. A copy of The Birmingham (Eng- , land) Weekly Poet for September 23 hat Just reached our desk. In It we ' find a rather wild and woolly account - of what la termed the "American Negro Pogrom," In which appears the follow ing paragraph: : "An apostle of lynching, John Temple * Graves, has been disgracing the city of Atlanta and the state of Oeorgla by almost dally appeals for mob murder. For the killing of every negro accused . of an assault on a white woman one newspaper offered 51.000 <200 pounds) reward.’’ The cable that carried that over must . hove been twisted. NO REPLY PROM PRESIDENT JORDAN. The Hon. Harvle Jordan has again spoken, and once again he haa In hit speech Ignored the charges made against him by the Hon. C. B. Bar- . rett, president of the National Farmere' Union. The reply of the president o{ the Southern Cotton Association Is an attack on The Atlanta Constitution. * It la not the purpose of The Georgian to fly to the assistance of The Constitution. The Constitution Is doubtless able to fight Ita own battles. Nor Is It the purpose of The Georgian to engage In petit or grand per secution of the Hon. Harvle Jordan or the Southern Cotton Association. But/The Georgian must again ask the Hon. Harvle Jordan to make some reply to the allegations against him by the president of the National Farmers’ Union. These allegations were serious In nature. Unless disproved, they will do great Injury to the Southern Cotton As sociation and Its cause. And unless they are answered by the Hon. Harvle Jordan they will. In the minds of thousands of people, stand Justified by silence. Mr. Jordun should realise that he would be but doing hie duty to the organization ho heads by making antwer to the allegation that he had formed an Unholy and notorious alliance of Joe Hoadtey, a Wall street gambler. The only reply President Jordan made to President Barrett war. "Tou're another." . Tho" only reply President Jordan made to The Constitution was: "You’re another.’’ ’ Tu qqoque arguments convince nobody, and the farmers of the South arc looking to President Jordan to answer fully, completely and satisfactorily the charges against him. If he does.not, he will become a burden that will exhaust the Southern Cotton Association and render It useless. The Ban on Obesity Pills. Every man will commend so much of that paternalism In the United States government which seeks to protect tho general public against the various and variegated fraud* which walk In dark ness and destroy at noonday. One of the most popular fonns of these frauds consists of patent medi cines which are J’guarantced” to euro everything from housemaid's knee to the Itch for office. They are embla- xoned In flaming advertisements on ev ery blank space from the slant roof of a country barn to the bald summit of Pike’s Peak; they constitute the chief source of revenue to such newspaper^ aa wilt take them, which Is by far the great majority. If republics are ungrateful, the peo pie should at least be grateful to the republic which, through the medium of the United States mall,' sees to save them from these medicated lies, well as from themselves. And a happy Instance has just come to light. Postmaster General Cortelyou, who Is no longer busy counting the money In the Republican contribution box, has Issued a fraud order ugalnsl obe sity pills—at least those of a certain brand Issued from Washington Itself. There are a great many considera tions why this course Is wise and Just. In the flret place, why should any one object to being fat? Were they not the kind of people whom great t'uesar admlrdd—the big, hearty fellows, such as slept o' nights? The lean and hun gry Caaatus was constitutionally an enemy to the state, Wc know In our own experience that The fat men and women are the good- natured ones. Did any boy ever have a grandmother, who fed him on sur reptitious pies, who was not fat? Both men and women. It It the fat ones who Indulge in pcriietunl good nature and tu hearty laughter, holding both thetr sides. But If they must reduce their llcsh there arc so many better means than by employing obesity pills. Exercise Is one of the most approved .forms of accomplishing this end. If It Is a man. he might run for office. We know of no kind of sprinting which Is better calculated to deprive a man of flesh, conscience- and self esteem. If he weighed In nt a ton he would come out In the featherweight class. No obesity pills for him. Perhaps a better, and certainly more honorable method still would be to plow and hoe. to reap and to sow like the farmer's boy In the song. H< ould be yielding something to the general store, white substituting muscle for fatty degeneration. When they be come more of n producer nnd less of consumer they naturally would not be so fat. They might take an ax and Imitate the Immortal example of the Grand Old Man by chopping down trees. It Is a useful nnd an exhilarating occupation, this thing of dealing up the virgin for est which two blades of grass may grow whtre but one grew before. In short, there are a hundred natural methods by which obeelty may be re duced, aside from obesity pills—which In fact don't reduce at all. We are grateful to Mr. Cortelyou. He haa done a great many things to com mend him to,our admiration, but noth-, lug which appeals to us more strongly than that he haa barred advertisements of obesity pills from the malls. Publicity in Divorce. Of more than ordinary Interest at tho moment when the heads of the pollco department are threatening to censor pollco news comes the report of the committee on resolutions of the Inter state Association tor Promoting Uni form Dlvorco Laws. This report Is a draft of a statute which will be submitted to the conren tlon of the aseoclation In Philadelphia next month. If approved, the associa tion will endeavor to have the statute prevail throughout the United States. One of the most Important features of the proposed statute Is that "alt hearings and trials shall be before the court (as distinguished from a referee) and ahall In all cases be public.” This Is to prevail even If the petition for di vorce be opposed or not. Ill short, tho crusaders seeking to hn prove a social evil look upon the se curing of absolute publicity of divorce proceedings as one of the greuteet re forms to bs accomplished. There arc objections,to publicity in such cases. Often Innocent parties to a divorce suit arc brought Into a n toiiety that Is painful. And not In frequently newspapers which roll scan dais on thetr tongues as delicious mor sets work against the moral welfare of l community by sensational and salu huts reports. But complete publicity of divorce proceedings will have the tendency to prevent attempts at hideous frauds nnd perversions of the law. t’olluslve suits and the chicanery of rorrupllon which are not obvious in the written deposi tions taken before a referee are likely to be laid bare In the light of open court proceedings. Those earnest and Intelligent men and women who are fighting to light existing wrongs look upon publicity a* thetr chtefest battle to be won. > excuse Is offered, sometimes another. The reasons advanced don't matter so much since the annual effect Is the same—a practical doubling of summer prices. This year the burden has come ear lier than usual. Last winter It was much later before the maximum of 16.50 for grata coal was fixed. If the game has started thia early, consumers may expect further advances when winter gets down to business. Dealers advance a combination of reasons for this raise. One Is that the Southern railway Is bringing little coal Into the city and congestion of traffic on all lines haa served to add dlfllcul ties to the dealers' getting their coal Into the yards. Another reason ad vanced Is scarcity of labor, both at the ■nines and locally. The local labor problem serves as a reason for advancing charges for stor ing coal In the bins of purchasers from 26 to 60 cents a ton. Signs of further advances are apparent In the statement that unless there Is Immediate relief In tho labor problem at the mines, pro- ducer^will have to raise prices again. That means thd consumers pay finally. The small percentage of people able to buy the winter's supply of coal in summer at *4 to *4.60 a ton can afford to look on the situation complacently, but to the mosses who must buy a ton, a half ton, a quarter of a ton at a time, the burden falls heavily. Probably the producer, the railroads nnd the dealers can all justify them selves, but the suspicion will linger that the regularity with which these boostings of coal prices come hang as easily on one plausible excuse as an other. Nooks and Comers of American History By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. Cold Gomel—Coal Riiet. Every home In Atlanta will have forcibly brought to mind the effects of the scarcity of labor today, when the price of coal fa raised at one stroke one dollar a ton. That fit something that directly con cerns every home In the city. It falls especially hard upon the poor that must buy Its fuel In small lots. They will pay not $6.50 a ton. but at the rate of #8 or $5. Atlanta Is familiar with this annual boosting of prices. Until cold weather comes on prices air reasonable, but aa soon ns winter acta in In earnest the that there may be apace on prices begin climbing. Sometimes one MATTHEW CALBRAITH PERRY. One of America’s darling names Is that of Oliver Hazard Perry, “Hero of Lake Erie.” But a very much bigger man In every ar was Oliver’s brother, Matthew C,*albraith Perry, of whom the world lias learned but little, and to whoso wonderful exploits the rank and tile of the American people seem to be blissfully Indifferent. Matthew Calbrafth Perry, brother of the man who so gloriously licked the British on Lake Erie, was born April 10, 1794, at Newport, R. I. On the paternal side he came of Devonshire stock, and cm the maternal of the Hcotch-Irlsh blood, which has contributed so much to the glory and honor of our republic. From March, 1809, when at the age of 15 he began his first cruise as mid- shipment aboard tho Revenger, down to his death In New York In March, 1858, Perry's record was noted for his faithfulness to duty and devotion to country. Here ore some of the things that Perry has written down to his credit: 1. While yet a mere lad he was an efficient naval oftieor In the war of 1813. 2. Ho chose the location of the first free black settlement In Liberia. 3. Ho was the father of oilr steam navy. 4. He first demonstrated the effi ciency of the ram as a weapon of of fense in naval warfare. 5. He founded the naval apprentice ship system. 6. He was an active instrument In the extirpation of tho foreign slave trade on tho coast of Africa. * 7. He dhl as much as any other mail toward deciding the result of the Mex ican war. 8. He crowned his grand life work by opening Japan to the world, which fact alone, In the light of recent events, Is enough to make him one of the must Illustrious of the sons of men. As a sample of the man’s make-up we have but to refer to an Incident of the siege of Vera Crus. The siege promised to be a long one, and In his despair General Hcott called on Commodore Perry, then In nmnd of our fleet In the Gulf of Mexico, to lend him a set of heavy naval guns with which to knock down the city walls. With the request came the Inti mation that the guns would be manned by Scott’s own artillerists. INDUSTRIES CHARTERED if IN THE SOUTHERN STATES gjHU'lal to The Georgian.

SAM SHUBER7 WAS WORTH $25,000 TO HIS PARENTS New York, Nov. 2.—A verdict of *25,- 000 damages for the death of Sam S. Shubert, the theatrical manager. was returned against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company by a Jury In the United States circuit court before Judge Holt. The plaintiffs were Da vid and Catherine Shubert, parents of the dead man. It Is understood that a new trial wilt be asked. The damages asked for were *100,- 000. The railroad company admitted its neglect and liability for Shubert’* death. The only question to be deter mined was tho pecuniary damage suf fered by his parents. It was brought out thHt Shubert had made *95,000 the year before his death, having sent home *11,600 each year for the support of his father and mother for Several years prior. The testimony detailed the business life of Sam Shubert, with his rise from a newsboy, to a manager, with twenty theaters and twelve shows. He was on the train that ran Into freight nt Harrisburg, Pa., May 10; was taken from Ills Pullman berth, badly mangled, and died from his wounds In a hospital the next day. David Belasco testified that Shubert was a genius, not only in business acument, but In dramatic judgment and taste and In his general knowledge of both the artistic and the commercial side of theaters.

Nov. 2.—The sur geons in the State Hospital for the In sane here are Immensely Interested in the case of Edward Green, of Monroe. The young man wan re-admitted to the hospital recently and the surgeons found he was suffering from appen dicitis. They operated on him and were astounded at ; their discovery. Green’s vermiform appendix greatly inflamed. Within its pouch was an Iron bolt, five Inches long, with a head commensurate with its length. The inflammation had spread and it’1s doubtful If the operation will save Green’s life. He has a mania for swallowing small metal articles. WIDOW OF RUSSELL SAGE DOUBLES SALARYOFCLERKS Sew York. Nov. 2.—Mrs. Russell gage has doubled the salaries of the clerks employed In the late Russell gage's office In tho Bunk of Commerce building. The Increase affected live clerks, none of whom was mentioned in Mr. gage’s will. Each of the clerks will receive hM customsry salary, and. In addition, an equal amount from Mrs. Sage Individually. The increase does not affect W. 8. Osborne, Mr. gage’s cashier and confi dential secretary-, who Is one of the executors of the will. PURSUIT OF PLEASURE AND ITS SELFISHNESS By MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN. To the request Perm' sent the laconic reply: “Certainly, general, fight them." but I must And hn did fight them—with hui'Ii effect that In n very little while breach was made In the wall wide enough fur the American army to march through to glorious victory And yet When General Scott came to write hts autobiography he did not so much ns refer to the naval battery nor mention the name of Commodore Perry. Such Is the dependence that Is to be put upon history! Hut It was not until after Perry’s sjilendid service In the Mexican war that he begun to make ready for the grandest work of his life. While living at Tarry-town, X. Y„ after his return from the land of the Montexumas, Perry -did u great deal of thinking ubout Japan and Its senseless Isolation. He tried to Interest Danlbl Webster tn hts darting Idea with regard to Ju- pan, hut, as secretary’ of state, Webster was too busy to pay much attention to him. But Perry, nothing discouraged hy Webster’s indifference, kept at his project, until finally he found himself at the head of an expedition for the Island Empire. Reaching Japan In the year 1552, Perry delivered to tho reigning authori ties a letter from the president of the United States expressing the good wishes of this country toward Japan and our ardent desire to render that country such eervlce8 as ndght bo at our command. Having broken the Ice. as It were. Perry departed, but returned the next spring, and on the 31st day of March. 1554. signed with tha Japanese authori ties a treaty of "peace, amity and pro tection.” That was the beginning of what may be termed modern Japan—the Japan that the world knows—the Japan whose valor ami enterprise are today the wonder of mankind! THANKS THE GEORGIAN. To the Editor of The Georgian. I sincerely thank you for your edi torial in yesterday's Georgian, “Danger In Mrs. Dickson's Plan." I think <vun- oilmen understand pretty well tlutt (Copyright, 1996, by Atnerlcan-Jour- - nal-Exatnlner.) Nothing can bring’ less happiness than the ceaseless pursuit of pleasure, nnd yet one Is constantly Confronted by individuals whose sole aim In life l« tho gratification of their own wishes. They do nothing that does not promise realization of the desires of their sel fish natures. Home taka Infinite jdeanure In amass ing fortunes; their possessions con sume their affections and thetr thoughts, and they become recluses from society lest they may be called upon to 'bear some of Its burdens. Others devote all their lime to Indul gence in eating nnd drinking In vain attempts to be happy. Many more Imaglno that pleasure Is to be found In participation In all manner of amusements and diversions from the serious things of life. They lose sight of tlie fact that the frivolous and gay have no such thing as real ploasure tn distribute; momentary delight Is all that aetors In the lighter roles can promise. It Is only a question of time when the pleasure-seeker becomes satiated with the fruits of his mean ambitions. Rarest wines, the most delicate of viands, lose their flavor. The glare of footlights hurts the eye. The ribaldry of boon comjianlons soon begins to Ir ritate. If not Infuriate, overwrought missions. The soulless creatures who for a while engrossed their fancies become the "beta noire" of their exist ence; Jealousy and ofttlmes murder ending their Illicit entanglements, though they may have been legalised by a marriage ceremony. Profligacy and dissipation bear but one kind of fruit—wretchedness and desperation. No physical constitution can long endure the ravages of a reck less life, nor can any mind, however brilliant and vigorous, withstand tha excitement that Invariably attends life of Immorality. God never Intended that his creatures should lire for themselves alone; it Is expected that our God-given gifts should be employed in some noble way for the uplifting of mankind and the betterment of the world; hence It Is written. "He that noweth Iniquity shall reap vanity, and with the rod of his anger he shall be consumed."—Prov erbs 20:8. And, again. "They that plow Iniquity and sow wickedness reap the same.”—Gob 4:8. Nothing Is more clearly set forth In the Book of Books than that every human being la re sponsible for the talents he hath. The saddest reflection ujion such misspent lives Is the fact that there Is not one of this class who has not sumo nature and who suffers all the agon ies of outraged nature on account of the follies anil recklessness of the self- indulgent pursuer of what Is misnamed pleasure. It would be folly to undertake to ac count for the perversity of human na ture. There Is no theory upon which one can explain tho Innate depravity of the well-born who abandon all pretense of self-respect and decency and de scend to the level of the lowest, most Ignorant, bestial and Irresponsible of beings, and with perfect abandon fol low their vicious Instincts until, by tragedy nr accident, their career* are ended. Who besides themselves are re sponsible for such travesties on the hu man species? I have sometimes thought that there was more work for missionaries In the home field than could ever be done. If persons In this enlightened country could be Induced to abandon thetr wanton, selfish habits and tn lead a moral, rational, If not righteous life, It would contribute far more to the sal vation of the world than can ever be accomplished by trying to convert the heathen In foreign lands. TO SERVE LIFE SENTENCE ' FOR SMOTHERING CHILD. Special to The Georgian. Jacson, Miss., Nov, 2,—The first white woman to be sent to the peniten tiary In the past flvo years Is Mrs. Stewart. She gets a life term for hav ing murdered her child by smothering. JL Up to two years ago there was white woman In the )>cnltentlar}' for the same offense, Mrs. Mar}' Wilkin son, from Pie county, but she served about seven years anil was pardoned. Tho prison hoard lias received notice of the conviction of Kirs. Stewart. She will be the only white woman tn the penitentiary and things will be mighty lonesome for her. It la probable that she will he put on one of the prison farms, probably In the hospital at Oak ley. BY CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. New York, Nov. 2—Arnold Wells, the foremost exponent of George Bernard Shaw's plays In this country, who Is now appearing In vaudeville In one of his favorite author's comedlea^ntltled “Hon- He Lied tu Her,” and Alfred Hickman, also a disciple of Shaw, but nt present playing In "The Tourists," a musical production, have been sus pended from the Lambs' club.

Ital. i The West has furnished New York with other fads. It’s the pinto cow pony. Manhattan equestriennes have become weary of the prosaic park "hacks” they ride along the bridle paths, and a score of them arc bring ing cow ponies from the West.

It was Mrs. Palmer's Intention to stop over for a few dayB In New York, ami she had reserved apartments at the St. Regis, but she cancelled the engage ment and decided to leave at once for Chicago. Mrs. Palmer did not remain for a long time In London this year, contrary to expectations. Indeed/ her last stay In London was limited to the night before her steamship sailed from Liverpool. Last year she had a house In London and did much entertaining. Great Britain Is trying to purchase tile property In Washington at Con necticut avenue and Columbia road, known as "Oaklawn.” but so far has failed to have Its offer either accept ed or rejected.
