THI CHAMPION ORATOR
The victory of Mr. John Roach Stra
ta# In the oratorical conteet for the
championship of the South, held at
Monteogle, Tenn., a ahort time ago, la
peculiarly gratifying to such Georgians
as take a pride In Southern oraitory end
point to the long Hat of giants whom
Georgia has given to the forum.
It was a victory which Mr. Straton,
who Is but tw«Jity-two years old, may
always recall with pleasure, tor he
competed with the ablest representa
tives from six Southern colleges. It is
a victory which reflect# tbo highest
credit on Mercer university, where he
Is a student, and puts other Georgia
colleges on notice that they must etlr
themselves or see their laurels perma
nently wrested from them. It le a vic
tory which puts other Southern states
on notice that Georgia wilt maintain
•he supremacy which she has long en
joyed in the world of eloquence—a rep
utation to which such men as Toombs,
Hill. Yancey, Grady and Gordon have
contributed.
We congratulate the victor In this
decisive contest and predict for him
the success he bo eminently deserves.

"While. In many cases the capital In
vested la not equal to what we are ac
customed to In the north, and while all
the new enterprises may not become
either profitable or permanent, wa be
lieve the contrary will be (rue of (be
majority, for the prospects of manu
facture in the south are generally es
timated with comparative accuracy in
advance of launching new enterprises.
Those enumerated have been Inaugu
rated with war in progress*, and it is
peace, therefore, not war, which must
affect them.
"The awakening of the south to the
fact that the world moves and that
old fashioned methods and prejudices
caunot bar Its progress is the most
significant economic fact of the centu
ry's closing decade In this country.
As the southern states answered
"ready" at the call to arms,so they will
answer "ready" at the call of com
merce, and each will take ita legitimate
place among the commonwealths of the
union in the new era now dawning.”
It Is impossible far the Democratic
executive committee and Its chairman,
who is in charge of all local party ques
tions, to escape the responsibility of

cide for a white primary or against a
white primary.
