The Home of St. Elmo.
It la good to know that Mobile still
retains that delicate sentiment, once
so prevailing In the South, which
prompts‘the preservation of the. home
ot Augusta Evans Wilson against the
onward sweep or commercialism which
Is Invading our provinciality. What
though the forty-acre lot thut once
comprised the grounds of the home
stead be spilt up by the purchasing
corporation and sold to noiiveaux
riches seeking tho environment of n
once literary atmosphere, still the old
home, where were written St. Ktino,
Macarln, Vashtl, Denial) lnfellee. At
the Mercy; of Tiberius, and lues will
stand In ull Its pristine glory of the
antebellum days.
In hia suspicion, born ot distrust of
the aforesaid sweep of rommerctal-
ism, one 1* Inrllned to the belief that
the preservation of "Ashland" Is mere
ly a scheme to enhance the Intrinsic
value of those other lota. But aa to
that, little signifies.
It Is enough to know that "Ash
land" is to stand against the ruthless
Invader, Progress.
But, when you come to think of It,
Augusta Evans Wilson needs no mon
ument of stone or brass; needs no
gtllery of antiquities.
Who has not wept with Edna Karl
felt the most poignant-of griefs at the
bopeleas love of Mr. ‘Manning—that
unbelievably kind editor (would ; there
were some today like him!); trembled
when .the dark, dare-devil, demoniacal,
yet darllngly-dcar St. Elmo thundered,
and loved him when Edna found out
t&o loved him, too (which one knew
all the time); and mentally hissed at
that blond adventuress (Eheu fau-
gsces! one forgets her name)? And
who, having done all those things, can
ever forget the creator of such won-
d.rful people?
Real people, they were—and are.
Not mere puppets, like the swagger
ing travesties on manhood and wo
manhood to be found In the output
of the Indiana School of Fiction. Real
paople they were, though they did use
marvelously classic diction, abounding
In far-flung mythological references,
quotations from Voltaire and Dante
and Tasso and the Talmud and the
Koran, and naive allusions to pre-hts-
torlo history—all of which we used
breathlessly to skip In our mad pursuit
of the plot—res! peoplo they were
and are, despite their marvelous pul
chritude, their marvelous learning and
their marvelous riches. Why they were
as real aa Robinson Crusoe, or Sir Wil
liam Wallace, or John Halifax or the
Sluggard Knight or eveu the Deer-
slayer!
They lived and moved and had* Jhelr
being for us of the weeping eyes.. *
Augusta Evans Wilson needs no
monument of stone or brass; needs no
gallery of antiquities, to preserve lift
memory.
For, as loug as there are Southern
children and Southern mothers, she
will live In the hearts of those who
have loved and later laughed at St.
Elmo—a tender, reverential laugh of
reminiscence, uot a laugh of mirth or
ridicule.
EQUALIZING EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES,
Perhaps the best thing about sitting at the editorial desk of a great
dally newspaper Is the privilege It affords one' to come Into direct con-
; taict with the thought of the people—people beyond the orbit of one's per
sonal existence, but nevertheless bis neighbors, who are struggling with
the same problems that beset him and who are soldiers In the common
cause of building up home, state and country.
It has always been a matter of pride with The Georgian' that It re
ceives In each mall a great number of letters from the people, letters giv
ing the.-viewB'Of the comptoualty-anii the natural aristocracy on matters,
perfwlut to: Ltoljtlcg, ’SioOletyJand. reUgloii.*- ’ 3"'*';. “ "'*= 'fi
■ Some: of these letters arf^rude, koine are-expressions of extreme bibs,
•some are Illogical or5 unjust, but; the greater part of ' them ‘'is
made up., of ;/resb,sane and 'often 'Inspiring ’ comment and 1 argu
meijt.j These letters are valuable to any studeut -of public quds
tions. They,often give new perspective on matters, they often contain
new Ideas: expression of Avpfch iwlll,lead,to marked Improvement’s In con
ditions Of life. In the value of these’letters lies tho raison d’etre of our"’
"People’s Forum." a feature of The Georgian that, has undoubtedly ac
complished much In the way of educating Its readers to a more thorough
understanding of questions, local, domestic and national.
All of this Is In passing,*though we have often wished for the opportu
nity of saying it.
.Out of the .mali of today comes a?communication,..bearing on-.a most.,
pertinent-topic of the time, written In such’refreshingly clear and' beaut)-
ful"style that .we.ahall^use it ps an editorial, it need only be said, that
The Georgian Indorses every wtjrd of It:
Editor Georgian: . ,, ' ,
Not long ago I wjpf talking with a group of friends about the evl-
dent culture ajuff rofifiement of certain people of our acquaintance and v
the remark Was made by some one that they had sprung -from very
poor and humble parents, and that all the educational advantages they
bad were obtained In the city Bchools. I made the remark that with
such living Illustrations of their immense cultural value before ns
constantly, every citizen ought to bo an ardent advocate or the Im
provement and extension of our sysjem of free common schools. A
lady remarked that when she saw such results from the common
school system she did not blame poor people from forsaking the coun
try and moving to town, and that if-’She were In such circumstances
she would seek out the very largest town within - reach where her •
’ children could have the .very, best, educational facilities possible. And
when pe think about it ia little so say we all. - -
One of the serious problems of the South today is the forsaking of
the farms by the poorest classes of our farmers, the reduction of the
'Bftl-v Important forces of production, and the filling up of our towns
with non-producers to. eke out a .precarious existence In an environ
ment for which they are poorly adapted. One of the chief causes
for this movement Is tho very natural desire of the poor farmer to
give his children better educational advantages than he can obtain
for them In the country.
The country schools of the South, and the North, too, for that
matter, are notoriously Inferior In every way to those of the towns.
To allow this condition to continue to exist is neither just nor wise.
If It continues many more decades our countrysides will be depopu
lated of small white farmers and our agricultural interests will be
abandoned -to non-efllclent negro farmers whose products will bo in
ferior both In quantity and quality to those of the better class of white
farmers. What we need more than anything else In the South Is to
increase the.number of white land owners living upon arid operating
directly their own small farms. This condition can never be attain
ed white the educational facilities of the country places remains as
they arc.
- It Is the part of justice as well as of sound political economy to
Improve at once the country common schools.
1. Let lliolr litimbcr’bo Increased, let better buildings be con
structed, let the teachers be better paid, and see to it that tliev are
more comiietent for their duties.
2. Let the system that Is meeting with marked success In the
North of combining several district country schools Into one high
class, central graded school, with rree transportation of the more dis
tant pupils to and from the school, be tried in the South.
3. I,et there be established In every country, town. In connection
with the city schools If desired, n country high school. Let dormito
ries be built for the accommodation of both main and female pupils
while attending thereon. Let the slato furnish not only free tuition,
but free board as well to every fanner's sou and daughter who de
sires these advantages which cannot be obtained at home. Let free
iHiard bo given to every pupil test the poor reftiBe to take advantage
of the opitortunltles afforded through fear of being classed as pau
pers.
These are things which may be doue and ought to be In order to
equalize school advantages as between country nnd town. I am a
resldont of a large town where wc bnve tho very best common school
facilities and I want these blessings brought within the reach of the
poorest farmers' sons and daughters, that the family may ho cncour-
aged to remain on tho farm where they are so much noeded.

missed. So fair a paper bh The New

Prom tho opinion, The Georgian
begs to dissent.
It Is a matter repugnant to any
woman of womanly qualities to have
to subject herself to any such public
ity and notoriety ns apitearing in court
In such a case as this would entail.
It would be greater punishment to her,
innocent, than any ordinary sentence
would be to an offender.
It was wholly'natural for Mrs. Gra

fuse to nppear against Caruso, aud
the fact that she did flee should not
be regarded as evidence that he Is in

THE CAPTOR OF A THOUSAND
. GUNS.
The fame of Paul Jones has girdled the
globe, aud justly, too, for the Beotch-Quaker
sailor-hero deserves every bit of .the Immor
tality that has come to him.
Ilut let us not forget that other hero of
the sen, Captain Jonathan Hnraden, of
Old Salem, Mass.
Born In Gloucester, Haraden went early
lu life to Salem to work for the Cabots.
When a very young man Ilnradeu was made
captain of the Tyrannicide, n fourteen-gun
sloop bnllt for the state of Massschnsetts.
In the Tyrannicide he assisted Id the cap
ture of a British ship that wa* taken pnfefy
Info Salem harbor. •
Later Haraden was appointed/commander
of the Salem privateer. General Plekerlnr
In which he sailed. In the year 1780, wit
n cargo for Illlboa. In the course ot his
oatwnrd-bound voyage be ran Into a British
vessel of twenty guns which he succeeded
In beating, off, and later, in the Bay of
Biscay, captured a British privateer of
twenty guns and a crew of sixty men.
With a prise crew on the captured craft
the two vessels started out for Bllboa. They
had gone but a little way tyhen they en
countered his majesty’s ship Achilles, with
forty guns and 14J men. Recapturing Hara-
den’s Prize, the big Englishman lay along
side of the American ship all night. Intend
ing to make short work of her lu the morn
lag.
With the break of day the battle began,
the Englishman's shots mostly going over
* k - ***•—-<'“*•* Haraden, shooting
v guns as the Pickering, the Achilles
Anally concluded to riin away, leaving the
prize In the hands of the Yankees.
Hays Thomas Wentworth Hlgginsou: "The
battle had fasted three hours. Tieiug fought
ho near the Spanish coast that a hundred
thousand spectators. It was said, lined the
shores; nmUJt was also said that before
the Pickering and hpr prize bad been half
au hour at anchor, one could hnve walked
n mile over the water by stepping from
I>oat to boot; and when the captain landed
ha was borne In triumph through the city
ou men's shoulders.
"This," continues the historian, "Is but a
sample of this l>old sailor's adventures. On
another occasion, still In the Pickering, he
fell In with three drnied Englishmen In
company, carrying, respectively, twelve,
fourteen and sixteen guns, aiul he captured
each In succession with his vessel, he carry

From flrst to last Captain Haraden took
more than a thousand guns from the Brit-

It was a surprise that Bishop Warren
A Candler had Monday night when
the front door of his residence at
Bdffcwood avenue and Spruce atreet
was opened in response to a ring,
A large party of alumni and former
students of Emory college filed through
the door Into the reception hall and
paid the bishop an informal call to
welcome him back home from the Orl
ent. While Mrs. Candler knew of the
plans mode by this big party of friends,
the first Intimation Bishop Candler
had of the cal! waa when the party
entered the house.
The party left the Equitable bqlld
Ing In a special trolley car and arrived
at the residence at 8 o’clock. Talks
were made by Bishop Candler, h. Z.
Rosser, J. L. Mayson, Walter Colquitt,
Howard Palmer, R. E, Park, John
Moore and Georgs L, Bell. Refresh
ments were served by Mrs. Candler
and a most enjoyable evening was
spent.
Bishop Candler recited several In
cidents of his.travels through Japan,
China and Korea and told his visitors
of his appreciation of the manner in
which they called upon him. In the
other talks the speakers told of thp
love and esteem Emory college men
had for their former president. Plans
for the call upon the bishop were made
last week and at flrst It was pro
posed to tender him a banquet, but
it was found that a surprise visit
would be more to.the bishop’s liking.
