P. Augustus has sent a check for $100,000 to the receiver of a busted hank out In Butte. 'F. Augustus was president of the bank till 1903. Subse quently It exploded. Along with the check for $100,000 llclnzc sent a letter saying that ho feared muny of the depoattors may have lost their money through eonfl I deuce born of his connection with the Institution. Hence he contributes this ' mite toward Its assets. Sotno of the cynical may say that this Is n grand-stand play by P. Au- , gustos. If ft lie. It Is jiftt about the dearest on record. Organized Charity. The jctlvity of the Associated 1 Charities of Atlanta, and the Impetus given here recently to organised char ity have made many of us reflect up on the meaning of true charity. Char ity, w e Were told many centuries ago, is greater even than the faith which holds out to sorrowing mortal* the so lace of Immortality, or the hope . which throughout the ages has kept the heart of n world young. It ts both Interesting and slgulflcant to note, therefore, the something like odium which attache* to tho word ' charity In this twentieth century of ours. Tile beneficiary of an act of charity (so-called), if he be a self- ;. rdflfiectlng porson is forever burdened , by a sense of humiliation. The term "object of charily" suggest* all thg$ i la weakest and moat pitiable In hu manity. while the mention of aim* bring* to mind the etas* of people we ( may moat pity, but do certainly moat despise. The word carries with It something like a stigma, and there , has come about a revolution in its i meaning which denotes that our con- I ceptlon of It has undergone a radical \ change. 1 do long has indiscriminate and ' thoughtless glviug played into tho hand of the Impostor, the indolent, and the vicious, that men now dc- i niand that the dispensing of charity i entail a responsibility.' and the re ceiving of It an obligation. Instead of the so-called charity which has been at best a disorganizing agency, we are coming to demand the charity, Mk^hlch. by helping the Individual to ""help himself, shall he n constructive forre that works for tire good of so- . ctcty. We are beginning to feel too much ref|>cct for our fellow man to give him alms. * The basic principle of organized charity Is to intelligently help every man to help himself, and so ‘'to make the very best out of every Indt- vfdual, to make him superior even to the full measure of his eaiwcity." Or . gsnlzation doe* not take the heart out ^of charity, and reduce giving to a mechanical system. It only brings In telligence to Itear ii)iou the philan thropic Impulse, which, when guided by emotion alone, could never work toward the ( practical good of the world. And to know that we are dtdng our pati. however humble. In supporting intelligently organized and wisely dis- Itensed charity Is surely almost as compensating as the thrill of magna nimity which comes ft* ns when we hand a ituor devil a quarter. - I FIRST STJiP FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. It is -to be hoped by all who have the Interest of Atlanta at heart that council will approve the recommendation of the special committee ask ing for an appropriation of $500 to defray the expenses of a thorough In vestigation as to the practicability of municipal ownership of gas and electric plants. A .fair and square and careful investigation Into the matter la all that the most ardent‘advocate of municipal ownership asks. If“this Investigation proves what The Georgian has contended alt along, then appropriate action should be taken toward putting 1 the plan Into operation. If. after fair and thorough investigation, It Is reported that the plan la not feasible, then there la nothing that can he done. But the Investigation must be complete. It must be made with abso lute fairness, without bias of preconceived Ideas. Elsewhere on this page is printed a summary of the success that mu nicipal ownership of gas and electric planti has achieved in Danville, Va., where light Is furnished to citizens at a remarkably low rate and profits are turned into the city treasury every year, if It can bo done In Dauvlile, even under the natural handicaps existent there, why cannot it be done In Atlanta? SATURDAY EVENING. f Editorial Correspondence by John Temple graves.) "lfow far that little caudle casta Its flickering light* So shines a good deed in a wicked world!" But the best deeds sometimes go softly in silence and the dark, and do not shine at all. unless, in the strange ways of Providence, they are discovered and related for the good that they may do. That charity which does not let its right hand know what Its left hand docth ts nigh akin to the chief of all the Christian graces, atul in the honest Judgment of the saints who nre as well philosophers, it is not far off from God. Prone are we Pharisees to whisper to our friends, if we do Hot boast it on the street corners, of the good that wo have done, and the alms we have dispensed. Applause is sweet to all of us and whether it rings for mortal deeds and great achievements, for the big benevolence of gifts and endowments, or for the smaller alms which may relieve a widow's need, we arc rather glad than otherwise to take the world Into our confidence about It. and we sometimes also find as strong an Inducement to charity In the world's approving smile, as in the drying tear upon the cheek of suffering, or in the flushing flesh once pinched by want and hunger. But the world is always better, when over the sweet silence of the helper, there creeps out of the moist thankfulness of the helped, a little story which tells of a faithful struggle and a noble sympathy—a touch of charity which makes the whole world kin. II Is so true that a man's sins are sure to find him out. that ills good deeds ought to be sometimes exposed. I fell ti)ioii a bit of a story the other day In Arkansas whose dramatis personae belong to us at home. ~ Ten years ago u young couple wero married in Atlanta. They were young, they were lover*, and they were happy. The boy wns gentle, kind and Industrious, touched with some human faults, but capable of good work and willing to do all things for his little wife. And the girl was a streak of sunahlne—not beautiful, perhaps, but with a sun-lit face that carried cheer and comfort Into every day, and a courage that never failed. She loved her young husband after tho old-fashioned way, and was happy In every day and hour of her married life. The flrst years prospered them In their modest line of struggle anil when n little girl eamc to bless them, thero whs never a palace that could have bartered Its happiness for theirs. But there came misfortune to the little home, nnd a shadow fell through unjust suspicion u|K>n the good name of the hnshand that par alyzed his work and pinched his Income to a sufforing verge. Bravely and with unflagging faith the little wife stood by him In ills hour of gloom. There was never a shadow- on her faith iu him. or n troubled note In her cheery voice. Slio was the genius of bis defense, uiid to her wise little hoad and her womanly wit and her tireless efforts must he credited the vindication that placed him once more with head erect before the world. During this period of their trial and sorrow, there was an Atlanta preacher—a strong and brilliant nun to whoso congregation they had Joined thomaelvcB, and this big man was never so busy that he could not help with counsel ami with money when the need was great. Ho was not rich, for no right preacher is over rich, but the pulse of his life was strong as the current of hts brain is clear, mid knowing the gulhijU grace of this youthful strugglo he unloosed bis heart strings and his purse string* to help them with their battle for another chuncc. When it was all right the little family went to Florida to begin again, the patient nlpdding youth, serious and atendied to Ills work, unit the* brave little woman with the cricket singing always.i^n her hearthstone and a peri^tual psalm in her giowflig heart. Things wont well. There was new vigor in the young man's work, lfi* employer praised hint, ill* comrades liked him, and tho fuliiru wns rosy In front-of them, and the sunshine of his home was deiqienliig from morning tn the steady glow of noon. But another shadow fell—ami n deeper slmdow this than the other. There grew a hectic flush on the young husband's Chech, tils step lagged and the flesh wasted from his frame. *'I give him two Month* to live, If he stay* in Florida," said th* doc tor, "perhaps six month* If lie goes to a higher latitude." "We leave tomorrow," said the young wife, and that night a transfer of business was secured for Atlanta. For a.week tho change did good. Then the hectic flush grew deeper and tho cough consumed the night. * , i "Ho must go farther we*t,” said the new physician. "He needs a diver climate. If he doesn't get to Colorado he will die In four months.” "He shan't die." safil the little woman with a mist veiling the sun shine of her eyes. "I love him and we will go West together." There waB no money to go. no work tho boy could do, no rich friends to help. The great preacher had been called to a greater city tn the West. But love and a dauntless little woman would not he denied. The few ef fects they had were sold. The wedding ring was kissed and put in pnwn against the life 'of tho lover who gave It. amt the start was made. A distant relative in Mississippi invited them tn a month's’visit. They paid for that by assistance In dairying and in such work as the nmn could do upon the farm. But the climate did nut suit, and they must muvq on. There was a day's Journey Into Arkansas across the river, mid the same experiment was tried. But the feverish lungs kept up the cry for dry air. The money was all gone now save Just enough to carry the little tragedy Into the heart of the Ozark* at Fayetteville. And there'the little womnn drew out her needle ami set herself down at the feet of a die A maker to learn and to labor. The Providence that help* those who help themselves Inspired her unskilled fingers and she became speedily expert and her work was tn demand. The one little room for the three of them was matte warm and comfortable, the meals were -three a day and the husband, now past working, had Ills medicines as of yore. lie had mure than that. If God Almighty cured sueh ailments with sunshine, ho had given to thin smitten youth a store of It that did uot die at evening. All day long and far Into the night the brave spirit of this woman kept cheer In that llttl^ circle. There was laughter and courage and hope sod confidence breathed through every hour, and If there were ever tears and sighs they wet the pillows of midnight aud wore sobbed tutu the silences when all else was still. But Fayetteville would not do. The busy needle had solved the prob lem of bread, hut Hie remorsel/ss coughing still Muted to the softer West. The last hope was Colorado. Tho wise physician who saw him shook his head aud said that the quiet young fellow was past the balm of Colorado now. The air might hold him a little longer, hut It could not give him hack to the heroine who was lighting at his side. It was sim ply uow a fight for time. There was only a chance in a thousand. But tho little woman shook the tears from her startled eyes, and cried. “1*11 take the thousandth chance. He Vital! go to Colorado." And there I left them at Fayetteville—this Georgia boy ami girl light ing the bravest and most unequal contest "ever entered against death. She was only waiting until her lunger and later hours of sewing could earn for her a little more—enough to |iay tlo- /are to Trinidad, and she had act the time when heroic labor nnd heroic saving could buy three tickets to that last retreat—tbo last hope of a loving heart. There was one friend, she told me, who had never failed to seud her messages- of cheer, and a little money out of his slender store— the pastor who had Ted them into old Trinity church In Atlanta. They had long since passed out of his pastorate and beyond hts official respon sibility. But the great preacher knew s great heart and ft great fight when he saw it, and he honored it with his heart and gith hts hand. Stiles Bradley never knew that I or any other man would hear in this strange and out of the way place of the unchanging sympathy which he has expressed la silence and in generous unfailing kindness to these young people so much in need. Bill I am iiad to discover him and glad to expose him here. Uke many others I have been ail too wont to moasure him by his big brain alone. It is no small Joy of comradeship to record this one expression of his large aud uoble heart. By this new measurement I rate him higher thail I ever did before, and by this tender portent I forecast for him a grander usefulness than any cold Intellect can ever reach. I am wondering If this simple tale might move some generous-soul to stretch out a right hand of helpfulness to this brave battle In the Ozark hills. I • ,In all .my life I have not known a braver battle or seen a spectacle that touches more nearly the chords of tenderness and admiration - than the pathos cf this Georgia girl with a tump In her throat and s laugh on her lips, wltbdbad in her bead and sunshine li^ her. eyes; with her fast flying needle fairly stitching Its way across a continent u> buy qnc .last chance for her lover husband and the breath of life. The little, heroine does not dregni that t am writing her In-ave histo ry here, and I am not asking any alms for the brave woman who has fought her way alone. But if any big heart that can read through these awkward, blundering lines the epic of sorrow and struggle which they touch, should, of Its own free will, desire to help Stiles Bradley in Ms clandestine charity, { will guarantee ter make one last and happy Christmas for tho bravest little wo man I have ever known. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 29. DANVILLE DEMONSTRATES SUCCESS OF MUNICIPAL v OWNERSHIP. From the prosperous town of Danville. Va., comes. Iu the shape of an annual report of the city water and light departments, a practical demon stration of the economy nnd value of municipal -ownership. Danville, Va., Is a city of about 25,000 Inhabitants and possesses only fair natural advantages In the way of location and - railway facilities. And, for that reason, success In the municipal operation of public utilities is all the more creditable In view of the fact that the rate to the consum ers of gas, electric lights and water is far below tho average of other cities more advantageously placed. Danville has for a numbtr of years owned Its water department. During the* fiscal year of 1905-0, water was furnished the citizens at the rate of $0 a year on tho sewered streets, and $i a year on the unsewered streets, all meters being furnished and main tained free of cost. In other words, the maximum charge for water Is 50 cents a month to the average consumer; to many It Is less than that. Ex clusive of the aunts spent during tho year In construction, the total re ceipts of (he water department during the year paid all expenaes and n balance of $100 was left In favor of the department. This sum is small only because of the exceedingly low rate charged for water. The operation of the gas plant has Been a glorious success. Because of Danville'* location the management haa had to pay an unusually high price for gas coal, but the product was furnished to all citizen* last year at the rate of $1.00 a thousand, and all connections were made free of charge. The service Is declared by the dally papers to have been exceed ingly good-as the public hns had no reasonable cause for complaint. The operation of the plant for the year showa a "not profit of $5,760 over and above all expenses. Of course this shows capable management, but there Is no reason to believe that economy may not be a virtue of munic ipal administration an well as of private corporate control. This profit of $5,750 Is exactly a profit of one-seventh of the total receipts. This sum would have been much larger hut for the fact that Danville Is the victim or an unjust coal freight rate, the remedying of which Is now being sought before the state corporation commission. » The city of Danville also furnishes Its owu electric lights, aud fur nishes lights and |iowcr to private citizens, ft has been doing this for twenty years. The financial statement for 1905-G shows a net profit of $7,750, a profit of ono-third of the total receipts. So satisfied nre the good citizens of Danville with their municipal own ership of utilities that they are making great Improvements In tho mechanical equipment of nil departments, and they purpose beeping these departments as thoroughly up-to-date as would,any private corporation owning thorn. , The plan lias been a huge success In Danville and its working should prove a lesson to other cities who are either timid and afraid to strike out for themselves, or else are In the grasp of private corporations. FOOTBALL STATISTICS. One of our esteemed contemporaries takes occasion to give a meed "of praise td the good, accomplished by tho changes in the football rules, lint nevertheless finds that further reform Is needed, the conclusion lin ing based on some statistics which show that eleven were killed in the game this fall. Now. these statistics were compiled by some zealous person on The Chicago Tribune. They nre exnmples of the mendacity of figures not put together right. ' . Of those eleven fatalities, two were in Canada, where they play a game of football not much more like our game than tennis resembles base ball. •IW<« of I he remaining nine deaths tu the list were due to heart dis ease add two more to blood poisoning, all of which might have occurred to the victims In any athletic sport. Tho first two were physically unfit for strenuous exertion. The death of the other two was merely conse quent to minor Injuries received on the football field. That brings the real death list of football down to fire. One of theso five was a player on a town temp, which had ueither eoajh nor efficient training. Two were boys, aged HI and 17 years, re spectively. Compared with the great number who participated In the game this fall—hundreds in every college and university In America, hundreds In every city anil town, and scores tn every high school, the fatalities arc very few . The new rules have proved to he a tremendous success in every detail. They have taken front football practically nil of the brutality existed under the old scheme, they have made the game of far more in terest to the spectator and they have scented to foster a finer aud better s|K>rtsmanshlp than existed before. For the elimination of chances of fatalities, it remains necessary, however, for those who play it to be subjected flrst to careful physical examination. It ts a hard game—a game for those who are strong, and none should be allowed to participate in It who has a constitutional weakness. • Young boys should not he allowed to iiractice or play without the presence of a callable coach or Instructor. Injuries and fatalities result ing front these haphazard mlxups or boys on corner lots are always at tributed to the brutality of football, whereas the scramble they partici pate In ts no more football than it Is dancing. - From every part of the country comes Indorsement of the new rules. They have reformed'and saved a great and a good game, the Chicago statistician to the contrary notwithstanding. * RAILROAD HAS BEEN Special to The Georgian. Jackson. Miss.. Dee. L—Next year promises to be quite as goad a year for railroad building as the one which is drawing to a close. Quite u number of new roads are being promoted, for the most part in south MIxtlfGppl. It Is expected that during the year a number of Interurbnn railroads, which have been hanging fl/e for some time, will b«» bulb. The promoters of tb«* Vicksburg and Jackson Intel-urban are hopeful of getting to work ou the road In the spring, other cities have railroad projects which they are work ing on. Tiie record in railroad build- ■ ing in Mississippi during the past vear (has been marvelous and several million I dollars have been invested in the state < by outsiders.

NEW ills' CHARGE OF FIRE DEPLJATURDAY “Cap” Joyner has stepped down and out of the fire department, and It is now “Chief” Cummings in.name and in reality. "Cap" will not find it hard getting work enough to keep him busy until the flrst of January, when he succeeds Mayor Woodward. Getting Ills insur ance business Into good, easy working order will occupy" about an mu alt time as a man wants to devote to business. Chief Cummings, while not having given out a statement to that effect, will probably follow the same general lines as "Cap” Joyner in running the Are department.
