This should he done at once. The Georgian be lieves that If street railways can bn operated sncceaafnlly by European cities, as they are. them Is no good reason why they cannot he so operated here. But we do not belldve this can he done now, and It may be nn years this rapid growth of the conveniences which will bring our frlenda from the outside cities and towna with so much convenience and economy to a day In Atlanta. Upon hourly sched ules these trolley lines will come rush ing In every hour of the day with their living and vital freight of busi ness men and shopping ladles, and the future of trade Is rendered bright er In promise by these conditions, even than It Is in this radiant and prosperous day. The people and our facilities are multiplying, and the cry of our mer chants hereafter will be, not more traders, but more space In which to house the vast supplies of wares which they have to offer to an ever- Increaslng trade. A Good Example Lost. . We are somewhat disappointed, though not at all surprised, that no one of our two dally contemporaries has seen lit to follow the admirable example of frankness and deflnlteness which The Georgian has Illustrated toward Us advertisers and Its patrons. It Is not an ordinary thing for a newspaper to summon the resident manager of a great and reputable audit company, throw every door In Ita departments wide open and In struct him to And the truth and tell It to the public. We really did not expect anybody to follow this cxsmple, and wo really have no right to compel anybody to follow this example, but we are quiet ly confident that the great public which likes to know what It Is doing and likes to have the legal substantia tion of alleged and often protested claims, would be exceedingly glad to know as much about our contempora ries as ft can always know of ns. The Georgian's books and The Geor gian’s subscription list and The Geor gian'! dial plato on Its Goss press are always open to any honest advertiser or to any Inquiring friend who may deslro to inspect them. If nobody else does this but The Georgian, why then, Tho Georgian will simply continue to enjoy monopoly of Immense satisfaction and the unal loyed confidence of the public. Atlanta the Trolley Center of the South. Atlanta Is rapidly coming to be the Indianapolis of the South. And when we compare our Twen tieth Century City to the capital of Indiana, we do not condescend to so -mall a prophecy as to a full equality In cambers, but we refer more partlc- . uarly to conditions now rapidly grow ing which will mako Atlanta the trol ley center of the South. From Indianapolis there are trolley lines running wherever a railroad runs, and many a trolley line which runs where no railroads are to be found. Indianapolis Is connected by trolley with almost every center In Indiana and surrounding states. From the Michigan border and the Illinois cities eastward to Cleveland and Co lumbus, and sSuthwartl to Cincinnati, the trolley lines carry baggage can, eoaches, closets and In some Instances dining can and sleeping coaches. We are not Indlauapolls yet lu At lanta. but we are now making the -beginning that will bring us before long to that desirable status. We already bavo In addition to the subur ban lines to College Park, Kast Point and Decatur, a line running 20 miles to Marietta. Several months ago the Pratta incorporated a comitauy and secured the right of way to a line which is non- building to Griffin, liarncsvlllc. Forsyth and to Macon. -And here comes another line that will perhaps be completed before the Hoes tat Macon, by the Atlanta and Carolina company, which has perfect ed Its arrangements Tor a line run ning through Eaat Point, College Park, Newnan. I-a(’>range and to West Point. This line is definite uuil certain. Work will be begun In a very short jrblle upon it and pushed rapidly to completion. Another line by the same company strikes down the Georgia railroad to Stone Mountain and Conyers, and on toward Augusta, and before the de cade is over we shall have an At lanta not only of railroads but a vast wheel of trolley lines with the spokes ' radiating In every direction and multi plying the facilities and conveniences of travel In this city. Truly are our merchants, already ^orlunate, to bu congratulated upou THE SOUTH’S VITAL CONFERENCE AT NASHVILLE. N'o convention more Important to the South has assembled wltbln tbese recent yesrs than the one which'Governor Cog, of Tennessee, will call to order on this Monday morning at Nashville. It is the Immigration and Quarantine Conference, and doubtless the health affairs of the country will receive their fair discussion and their wise decision along broad and liberal lines. Of course we must protect our Southern cities of the coast and. Interior from the advent of epi demics The health of the South must be preserved and the wisest of our statesmen must consider the ways and means, without prejudice, without passion and without allowing the narrow Interests of a local en vironment to Interfere with the general welfaYe of the whole. Out the great topic of the convention will be the subject of Immigra tion. How shall we obtain a desirable class of Immigrants for these Gulf and Southeastern states? How shall we protect the South against un desirable Immigrants, and how shall we adapt the deep necessity of our labor situation to this Immigration question In Its. wisest and largest way? How shall we meet the great demand of the South for- labor without bringing into this section races as alien and as unassimllable as the ne gro? How shsll we keep out the Hungarian and the Pole and the anar chistic element of Southeastern Europe and select our new citlsens from the races with whom we can affiliate, and with whom. If It should lie necessary, we could honorably and wholesomely amalgamate? The Georgian Is watching with the keenest Interest and anxiety the deliberations of that great convention. While Us decision will not be conclusive, It Is expected at least to map out In part the policy of the South toward the Immigration and labor question for some years to come. And surely there waa never a time and never an Interest which demand ed more of patriotic wisdom and of watchful patriotism than the respon sibilities which this convention will lay upon Us delegates. Perhaps after all, we shall reach no nearer to a wise decision than In following the example projected upon a minor acale by South Carolina and by some of the smaller towns In Georgia. If we want good Immi grants we wilt Just have to go after them, or semi, after them, and n6t trust to an Indiscriminate Invitation supervised by careless and ineffec tive consuls at these foreign points. The landing of the Wlttektnd at Charleston was the most whole some and inspiring Incident of our Immigration history since the earlier colonists. Thei;e were among these immigrants men and women ser vants, domestics, laborers and experts, brought after, a careful selec tion from tho strong Germanic races; and the clamor for them at Charleston by the better Claeses of our people to come Into their homes and Industrial enterprises, was a joint declaration of the deep necessity of our Industrial and domestic life, and of the eager and prompt*capacity of onr people to recognise and to absorb the best things as soon as they hove In sight - We cannot Imagine a greater mistake than to throw open our doors to Indiscriminate Immigration. We believe that for ten or twenty years at leaat the South must follow the example of the Carollnans in bringing over ship loads of the Wlttektnd upon special effort of special agents. We must bring over, through our Intelligent agents, ship loads of the kind and class of Immigrants that we need. And when for ten years or for fifteen years we have licen landing these people here and making them happy and comfortable In our homes and in our fields and factories, *we will find that they thcmaelves are advertising us better than all other agents or pamphleteers, and will bring to us from their own acquaint ances and from their own homes and friends and kinsmen those who will be glad to accept the assurance more convincing than the Interested cries of emigrant spielers. Atlanta ought to have a Wlttektnd ship of its own. While we have uo deep water and no projecting dock at which to lash her moorings, we can have her brought by Atlanta's agents and for Atlanta’s own use, and prepare a formal lauding at one of Georgia's stately seaports, upon her coast at Savannah or Brunswick or Darien. And when tho Idlers and triflers who have ro long been making life miserable for our house keepers at home and for our cotton planters In the fields, behold these wholesome and helpful Immigrants, they will either sue a great light and learn a great leason of usefulness and will ing service, or they will be drifted still further Into the realm of useless ness and helplossnoss into which they are rapidly pushing themselves. We are looking and watching eagerly the proceedings of this conven tion at Nashville. STORY OF THE LONG FIGHT FOR CHILDREN OF GEORGIA GEORGIANS IN 'GOTHAM. Who Then? In a stately two columns of Its Sun day Issue The Atlanta Journal reaches tho profound conclusion that Mr. Hearst Is not an eligible man for tho Democrats to nominate for president. If It is a fair question, who does the always esteemed Journal think eligible to nominate? Is Judge Alton B. Parker still its choice, as the Democrat of Demo crats? New Can for the Trolley Lines.

Tltt- following sketch ts from the Woman’* Home Companion of October, written by A. J. McKelway. It Is in teresting because of Its detail of the work by prominent Oeorglans: This recital Is the story of the victory of public opinion—of public opinion. In telligently formed by the publication of fact, argument and appeal through press, pulpit and platform, overcom ing thfe obstacles of Ignorance and prejudice and greed, and .at last over- rhelniiqg and Irresistible.’ The fight for the release of the chil dren from the factories began In Geor gia ten yeara-ago. Mr*. J. Lindsay Johnson, former president of the Nat ional Federation of Women's Clubs, and Mr*. A. O. Granger, chairman of the child labor committee of the Na tional Federation, were among the earliest advocates of the cause. In 1900 the agitation for preventive legis lation, begun In Alabama by Edgar Gardner Murphy, affected Georgia, ah It did the Carolina* and Virginia. But the local Industrial associations exist ing In Georgia undoubtedly uhould have the credit for beginning the campaign that has just ended In the defeat of child labor Interests. An Appeal to Reason. ■*' Hearing rumors of the activity of the national and state child tabor commit tees. In the spring of 1905, this Indus trial association Issued an "Appeal tp the Reason of the People." It was the familiar tirade against Northern com petitors who were stirring up strife In the Southern mills, under the guise of philanthropy; the usual effort to con found this purely humane movement for the protection of little children with “labor ugltatlon:" the usual compari son of the conditions In the mill village with those on the farms, to the detri ment of the latter; the familiar boast ing of the work being done by mill owners In the way of education, the building of churches and schools and the payment of the salaries of teachers und preachers. This "appeal to reason” tempted re ply. It Invited a "candid, open and full discussion of the facts” about child labor. It declared that the association had already adopted rule* for the pro tection .of. the children, "which they are enforcing, os to which they invite criticism, and the citation of nnv In stance where they are being violated." That was a little too much for the Georgia child labor committee to stand. This committee had been In the fight for some years. The lamented General Gordon had been Its chairman. Such men as Rev. C. B. Wllmer, of Atlanta, and Hooper Alexander, just then elect ed to the legislature, had been power fully contending with voice and pen for the children’s rights. The committee had been reorganised and strengthened by the addition of other prominent men, was in co-opera tion with the national child labor com mittee, and It accepted the challenge of the Industrial association. In an article throughout the state, that ran Its way from paper to paper world's history, and ns a faultless sol- A Broad-Minded Mill Owner. It was a public calamity that Sena-: tor Murphy Candler’s great speech was not taken down In shorthand. Like Lord Shaftesbury and Sir Robert Peel, advocates of child labor legislation In England, he has large Interests In cot ton mills. He is a humane employer, doing all he can for'the education of tits employees, having given up night work since he saw the evil of It, doing his best, without law, to keep too young children from being employed In the mills which he controls. He showed the economic folly of child labor as well as Its Inhumanity, the bad reputation that Southern mills have gained to their own hurt by the employment of .the unskilled labor of children, so that* the same quality of goods manufactured In the South brings front S to t cent* a pound less than .when made In the East. He declared that the agreement of the mill owners was broken univer sally. Once, he was Interrupted by a senator, who asked him why he did not join the Industrial association and help ill the correction of the abuses of child labor. Like the lightning out of the clear sky came the answer, "Be cause I do not care to contribute to a legislative fund to prevent child labor legislation.” We express ,here the opinion that Senator Candler’s speech began to turn th>. tide In the senate itself against (ts awn action In defeating the bill. Good old Senator Fltxgerald, the soul of Innocence, who had been taken through a mill that very day and been shown how old the children were who were employed, and how light their work, and nnti made a speech against the bill, ic.ia Senator Candler that he would have voted with him except that he had made a speech against him. Of course. It was easy to prepare one mill for Ms coming. Earliest of Advocates. As every one knows, Mrs. A. O. Granger, the chairman of the child la bor committee of the National Feder ation of Women's Clubs, was one of the cRrileet advocates of child labor reform In Georgia. Mrs. Lindsey Johnson worked with untiring effort, and when the blit was at last passed Governor Terrell presented the pen, which signed the blit, to Mrs. Johnson, as he deemed her the right one to own It. Mr. Mc- Kelwny, the assistant secretary of the notional child labor committee, led the fight for child labor legislation In the state. He lias related many Incidents concerning the labor throughout the mill district. Mr. Bell at this juncture Introduced his former bill In the house, and later substituted the senate bill for hie, the substitute bearing bis name. He felt that he wns entitled to the credit of having passed his bill through the house, but his ambition really, though tve are sure, unintentionally. Jeopard ized the passage of the measure pend ing In the senate. However, a little diplomacy smoothed matters over, and the senate generously waited for hint to put his substitute bill through the house. He wns Indefatigable in bis work for the bill, and when It came to passage, man after man who had apposed the bill the year before, Judge Longley, who had led the fight against It, among them, speaking In favor of it, with various reason* given for the change of heart. One member said that his good old mother hud upbraided hint for his vote, and that he esteemed her opinion above that of the whole house, and desired the opportunity of setting himself right In her ysteent, which was perhaps as good a reason as could be given. The bill passed the house by a vote of 125 to 2. But an error had been made In copying,, so that tho house and senate bills were not exactly the same, and the difference had to be ad Justed by the senate committee. Other Defect# to Bo Remedied. The new law has one defect which should be remedied as Soon as possi ble. It allows children of ten years to enter the mill for Its long twelve- hour day if the child Is an orphan anil nas no other means of support, or Is the support of a widowed mother or of ,n aged or disabled father who Is de pendent upon the labor of such child, ulthpugh such parent Is required to ob tain a certificate from the ordinary of the county, certifying to the facts In the case. Facts, such as these mentioned in (Ills article, could be mulllnlled a thou sandfold in Georgia and other Southern states, and the kind-hearted people of Just as Georgia learned them, from press nnd pulpit and lecture platform, to free the little white children of the South who arc employed In her mills, nnd to Issue a general and effective emancipation proclamation.

IMHHMMHIMUIIIMttl • ••••ssstntstiMSteti PLANING MILL BURNS CAUSING $8,000 LOSS Special to The GsorgIsn. • Fltgerald. Ga., Nov. 12.—Saturday was a day of fires In this elty. In the forenoon an unoccupied building Just outside the city limits and formerly used as a commissary, was burned In spite of the effort* of the tire depart ment. which could not reach It with a line of hose, owing to Its remote ness front a fire plug. A second alarm sounded about o'clock and the fire company made a hard run to Todd's planing mill In the Second ward. The fire originated In a spark on the roof and as every thing about the mill was dry, the flames spread with Incredible rapidity. A break in the machinery at the pump ing station when fire pressure was ap plied rendered the fire company prac tically helpless, so all efforts were di rected toward preventing the spread of the names to the fine residence and barn of Mr. Todd, which stood dan gerously near, and In this they were successful, though the mill, dry kiln, sheds and a large stock of lumber nnd moldings were burned. The loss is perhaps $8,000 without any Insurance. GRAND JURY PROBING ALLEGES PEONAGE CASE8. FATALLY CRUSHED BY FALLING BOILER Special to The Georgian. Donaleonvllle.

Before Judge Hcabrook. Walter G. Charlton nnd Edward H. Klilott, for plaintiff In error. Lawton k Cunningham, contra. GOSSIP! Netv York. Nov. 12.—Burnett Tiffany and Ids wife. Luclle, will have to satis, fy the supreme court that each pf them was legally free to marry nt ti„ time they became man and wlffc if j| ra Tiffany proposes to hold on to the 835 - 000 worth of fqrnlture which orna- memo their home at 125 Weat Elgluv- elghth street. Burnett V. Tiffany displeased Ids father, Charles L. Tiffany, head of the Jewelry firm, by his marriage In 1888 and later Increased this dlapleasm,. From then until his death, the father allowed his son but 515 a.wcek to live on. though from time to'tlme he did wipe out the young man’s most press- Ing debts. It only took three years for the marriage to result In a divorce which Emma Tiffany got In Rhode Is land In 1891 on the ground of desertion Young Tiffany was anxious Tor free dom, and allowed the suit to go bv de fault, service being made by substitu tion. A year after his father's death Tiff any married hla present wife, who was not wholly acceptable to his relatives Tiffany and Ills wife agree In stating that she steadily refused to marry him until he had promised to furnish a home for her In expensive style, and to make Iter a wedding present of the furnishings. In carrying out tills agreement Tiffany Incurred the fur niture bill, but the firms could not col lect the money, and Tiffany filed a pe tition In bankruptcy. Then the firms sued the Tiffany* for the return of the furniture, but Justice McCall decided that the furniture bad passed to Mrs. Tiffany for a valid consideration and dismissed the case. During the hear ing Justice McCall upheld objections to questions In regard to Mrs. Tlffanv's previous matrimonial record. The law yers for the 'creditors tried to show that a previous divorce of hers was Invalid under the notable decision of the United States supreme court In the Haddock case. The court argues If the Rhode Island divorce of the first Mrs. Tlffnnv was Invalid, as It would seem to be on Its face under the recent decisions of the United States supreme court In the Haddock case, then Tiffany had no right to re-marry and was legally re strained from attempting to carry out the alleged agreement. Justices Ingraham, Clark and Scott, while agreeing In the decision of re versal, think that Tiffany's disability. If established, would huve simply placed him In the situation of a man who had broken a projnlse tu main, but who cannot necessarily escape damages by proving disability. Society learned today that Miss Eve lyn Cavendlsh-Benttck, .Mrs. Ogden Mills' niece, the younger daughter of Mrs. George Cavendish-Bentlc, one --f the beautiful Livingston twins, Is to marry Walter Burns, son of the part ner of J.
