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. AN ■•AIRQUAKE." War has claimed such a large share of public attention that a recent phe nomenon In Italy has not received the attention It deserved. We are all familiar with earthquakes —at least those of us who were living in the year 18SC. when Greene street became a tented field where terrorized cithSk made their home for weeks. In the language of Washington Irving, it “shook tall sinnerato their knees.” i Oka att paw*** t**v* ***** M kw* •wad to* oN p rm*mt parp**** ami M I* kopa* «»» kttHMkk* (MU PM fcto i «a*Wk Ik* VOflM. rvs iimn fiwrwTt Nartke** *wM*lkp<nr»»« at* k*> ,wmm WW* a*4 MW* «*wr*M*Ml «* j Ik* progtaa* m 4 pm»W*v *p Wrtrk , MWk <k* *Mtk NAMMWAtwIa** mm tfca* •• to* MtoNMf Mrt» *k* twkip* W*4M of i tow* btr*i‘mt* M altrt W* a mm tow* muiM m kw< «**• Tk* Mail aad Rxpraaa. wfcak «**4 •• • ***4. ai|**ah lgr« ib*l Ik* Akp mt awt : iW tk* p**f f*w wotob* kMW, mtmr4- ta ikvlr rword of *44M no* aad <w provrw'll*.

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 deciding whether this countw is to have white primaries. The only ques tion Is whether they are going to de cide for a white primary or against a white primary.

Although not generally known, the I’nlted States has begun free mall de livery In quite a number of agricul tural dlatrlcts. and expects to extend It all over the country.

The Klondike stories now being told by gold hunters ore doubtless In the main true, as they we accompanied by the statement that no good mining claims can now be had except hy pur chase.

A thousand watermelons were sent up to Chickamauga the otho-r day. And yet there are those who say a soldier's life Is not a happy one.
