But w* do not believe tbla can » dons now. and It may be some years before wa are ready for ao big an no- dertaking. Still Atlanta should set It* tac. Id tbit direction NOW. 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.

It U not the purpose of Tho Geor gian to enter. Into any discussion ot the charge against Caruso. Tbfft seercn to be a matter hardly suitable to ronuuent. But there Is one phase of Uie ense that calls for expression. Tho argtunont has been made on many sides’In Hew York that when Mrs. Graham, "the Aoman said to have been Insulted by Caruso/ failed to ap pear in court to testify against tho ten or, the case should have been dis missed. So fair a paper bh The New York World has made this point. 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 ham to leave New York city and re fuse to nppear against Caruso, aud the fact that she did flee should not be regarded as evidence that he Is in nocent.

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.

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 ing Just as many guna aa the largest ot the enemy."
