This AMfUM ’Mtt W. B SMITH, the few* u( Gourgia fur the South. time in his life Reuben B. Nisbet faced Robert E. Lee. Before his commander he spread his papers. Lee read them through carefully and with a sigh pushed them one side: “Colonel, there is so much of thia—l cannot pardon them all. The uncle ts un mistakably guilty, and the boys—well, they are guilty, too.” “General, I do not plead for the uncle, that craven and reprobate; but for the boys—the boys whom he lured away. For the boys whom he taught deceit and cow ardice—for the z fatherless, motherless boys. I do humbly make entreaty. “Oh. General Lee, if the God Omnipotent hal called you to your far away home and with the same touch, had laid the woman dearer than your life by your side, and those two boys whom with dying breath you entrusted to your mother's son should by that one who promised to guard and protect, be corrupted into cowards—" ••God forbid!” “Amen! A thousand times amen! But. oh. General Lee, If they had been your sons Instead of Sam Danton's, how would you. from those heavenly heights look down upon the man in whose hands the nation had put the privilege of leading back your boys to honor and to man hood. should he rather choose the right to consign them to a grave strewn with shame and garlanded with disgrace!” "Nisbet. Nisbet, your seal runs away with your Judgment! Duty is the sublimest word in the language, and there is no question where lies mine.” "General, it Was love that came down from heaven to redeem you and me—love, not duty, tit Is love, love, love that makes the world go round’; *but. General, if you still read it duty, here Is the place where love and duty kiss each other." Nothing was heard within the tent save the tread of the chief. "General!" Lee was startled; he had forgotten that he was not alone. Nisbet's arm was uplifted, his eyes bright with tears, his voice quavering in its pathos: “General, that father and mother are waiting to see you overshadow their de fenseless children with your power.” General Lee's head sank on his breast and a tear unbidden coursed down his cheak and fell among the papers beneath his hand. Nisbet stepped nearer, triumph flashing in his eye: The smile on Lee's face was sadder than tears:* • "Let him have the reprieve, Mr. Adju tant. Colonel Nisbet has dammed up my judgment and let out my heart.” The great leader held out the precious paper that bore his seal: “Ah, Colonel Nisbet, were I only sure that I am doing right in giving you this!" “My word for it, sir. the name of Dan ton will yet be on the honor roll. The lads will make two of your bravest men” “Their future is* in your hands, make the most of It. Colonel Nisbet, if you piped for some woman's heart as ardently as you have entreated for rnrtne, you will win the fairest In your land of fair women.” ' “Ah. General Lee, I did that long ago and it was her love that urged you to mercy today. Xthat I am. she made me. If ever my voice has the ring of an angel note, ft is onljr the echo of hers ” A touch of the cap and he had passed out of the tent, the reprieve safe in his bosom. Friday morning was bitterly cold and the sleet struck the earth like a mystic note amid those weird, deathly strains coming from over the frosen fields. There sounded* a low accompaniment—the crash! crash! of soldiers' feet upon the ice. . The Seventh Georgia formed three sides of a square: on the fourth was a driven stake and a snow-fllled grave. Many a rough coat sleeve hid the tears of men who smiled at cannon when the poor wretch knelt in front of his coffin and strong hands bound him fast. The gallant Slade was lieutenant of the guard that morning and as he passed Col onel Nisbet whispered:. . ••For meicy’s sake. Chess, be quick; Don't let him suffer!” " \” "Fire!” The first line of the guard wheeled and the second took its place. ( . "Fire!" Alex Danton fell back, his fingers dig ging in the ice in dumb agony, one hand, for a second, thrown up in mute appeal, then falling with a thud across the coffin lid. And big Chess Slade, who knew not fear, now white as the snow at his feet, stood trembling like a little maid, his eyes riv eted upon that crimson streak., The band struck up “Dixie,” the march ing feet kept time, while the fast falling snow spread a spotless shroud over the dishonored man. ♦ "Death had left on him . ► Only the beautiful.” In a low corner of an old cemetery wnere the sedge grows rank Is a half sunken grave, broad enough for two to rest in. On the upper edge of the head board one reads in well worn letters: ♦ "Brave Jack and Fred Danton! Te died well!** ’ ■ , . * The clover nestles against the words and the butterflies hover above the grass; the birds sing here their Jubilates and the sun spans the grave with a bow.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER IQ 1901. * How does the above strike you as a proper nkme for a great exposition.to be held in Georgia, and in'one of the state’s progressive cities, in the fall of 1902, the main feature of which is to be educa tional? Whether the name Impresses you as being proper or not, the show Is a proper thing to have, and Georgia is the proper state to inaugurate. it, and one of our progressive cities- is the place to hold it. Os cot/rse the exposition will be open to the world and to the world’s industries. Nothing* will be excluded, that Is, noth ing good. The arts and sciences in all their ramifications, in all their bearings upon hutnan society and government, will be gladly admitted to make sgch exhibits as will tend to add to the attractiveness and value of the project. - Agriculture, herding, fishing, lumbering, mlulng, manufacturing, commerce. Inven tion, dairying, architecture and other leading industries, with all they embrace, will come in for an equal Interest in the great exhibit. But the main feature of the show will be the educational,' that to which the industries above enumerated owe so much.- And why .not. an educational .exhibit, a magnificent exhibit, showing to the world what has been accomplished and what is now being done in this direction? We have had great cotton expositions, agri cultural fair*, and manufacturing shows, with educational side issues; why not now, at, the beginning of the twentieth century, a grand educational exhibit as the central attraction with these other features distributed around in close touch and relationship? It is true hn agricultural exhibit, or a manufacturing display, or that of any other leading industry of this age can be properly termed educational exhibits in a very striking sense, because achieve ments in these departments are results of education; but, in a more decided man ner than ever before; in a more extensive and comprehensive way; in a fuller*and more detailed way, let us have an edu cational exhibit that will show up this universally great and important interest in all of Its ramifications and bearings, that the people at large may see and judge for- themselves as to what is being done in this great field of work. Such an exhibit will help the south, the state,' the city in which it is held, not only educationally, but Industrially, and otherwise. Its great and varied benefits to this section of the country will be in calculable. Its educative effects upon the masses, touching this important interest, will be Invaluable. As a means of cre ating public sentiment favorable to cation, and of attracting the - attention of the voters and taxpayers to the possibil ities of the work, no estimate can be placed upon its value. Such an exposition should be held,; and held Just as soon as practicable. The ed ucational Interest of the south deserves this' recognition, and steps looking to its New Day Dawning For Children of the Mountains; Generous Gift From the People of Baldwin County • M , f-v • •-.- r ♦ ' BY BUN44IE LOVE. The Woman’s Society for Georgia mis sion* has watched with deep Interest t'he various opinions recently expressed in The Journal on the question of industrial especially the branch of do mestic economy- About ■a. year ago in a humble little school-room on Whitehall • street oqe of the regular business meetings of the ex ecutive committees of the Woman’s So ciety for Georgia missions was held. important result of that meeting was the selection of Mrs. B. O. Miller to presptrt to the annual state convention of the so-* ciety a-paper on "the need fdr«a moun tain mission school." The discussion of the question. revealed the fact that Mrs, Albert Howell, tile president, and Mrs. B. O. Miller, the cor responding secretary, had both been thinking of Tallulah Falls as a great mis sion point since the days of their fair yoyhg girlhood. .! In those days they had each at vari ous times, r far from the humming haunts of men, in the sweet fellowship of chosen friends, trod the wild ways which were then truly “the terrible,” and had marked’ with interest the places where on the,! mountain* under the stars the red men. having "life for life” as their crimson creed, had burned their council fires on Tray and Yonah and Carriehee. The paper’was prepared and published by the Emily H. Tubman society, of Au gusta, and by aotlon of the convention it was decided to try to establish a school at'TUllulab. "An unsought, however, as if in anstoer to the prayers of the Chris-' tian women, there came to them through Mr. L. F.

The greatest educ&ftonal prpblem con fronting us today Is how to maintain and render efficient the public schools in the rural districts. The cities and larger towns are able to take care of themselves, and are doing so in a manner most com mendable, but the country schools are suffering at ever£ pcrfnt, and the evils re sulting from their weakness and ineffi ciency are most apparent. We reproduce below fn- full from the At lantic Educational Journal a sensible edi torial on this most Important subjeet, which applies with so much force to our Georgia schools: •' * "Os. the seven millfon children of school age in these states more than six million live in sparsely settled districts and in towns of less than 2,000 inhabitants. Hence the rural school Is of first Importance and, should receive first consideration. We can never be an educated people until we have good rural schools and the country, children attend them. • ■ "At present thfe* Average length of the annual term of these schools is some thing less than 100 days. The average number of days of schooling for each child of school age is less than 40. The aver ages for the entire country are 50 per cent more than these*, and those of the most favored sections more than 100 per cent better. In one southern state the aver age length of term of all thii schools, in cluding city graded Schools, is less than TO days. The average attendance of chil dren of school age is less than 25 days. Only 350 days of schooling to prepare the children of a people .for life and citizen ship in a great democratic republic! This must not continue. “For all these six njHUoh children there are probably not more than 400 good pub lic high schools, or less than one for every 15,000 children. In a time when a good high school education is as neces sary to the average man and woman on the farm, in the shop and in the home as was the ability to read and write a gen eration ago, thfs is not sufficient. "Comparatively few of the rural schools have any libraries or any books except a few text books by the children. Having been given ttje. power to read, the Children should be -what, to read and caused to cultivate habit of read‘ Ing good books.

The train met a washout and was forced to back into the city again and take * the belt road as. Colonel Wade said, '“the engineer felt It better to be safe ttian sorry;” nothing daunted, howevtr, mojt of the party pro ceeded. They expected much, they had faith; but they “buflded better than they knew.” . f" S',-. A charter for the school had been draft ed by the generous of Hon. J. R. Lamar, of Augusta; the faith of the women. This was apptoveu and accepted. The Baldwin people said: "We have faith in missionary women, we will, even now, give you deeds and titles to this property td be held in trust by one of you until the law and the chapter permits you to receive it as a society."

The gift is estimated In round num bers at nearly 33.000. The meeting of the comjhittee and cit izens was held in r the .little school-house now crowning the summit of the hill. Though the day had been so dark and rietta, arriving there at 12 the same night. Company B stayed In, Marietta until New Year’s Day. It was there we met that good old man, Captain tik N. Lester, who provided us with transportation and sent us on. We overtook the officers and guns t at'Jackson, Miss. Col. Curtis held a prl-' vat court martial and; ordered the entire regiment to dig stumps for two hours. We thfen cooked tfhree days’ -rations and • moved on to Vicksburg and pitched ouri camp about four miles aboye that .dty. Later we moved two’ inlles below that city on the Warrington road. It is use less to ky to tell about Long Tom sinkr ing the gunboats, but some time in May we marched east across the Big Black river, twelve miles from, Vicksburg. The railroad bridge over thia river is eighty feet high, and I remember in crossing our brigade was string out on the bridge when an incoming freight train dashed in sight at full speed. We scrambled for the crossties in double quick time. I held to the under side of the rail with mjr left hand, the right hand gripping my gun. I was so badly frightened I couldn’t see the ground .below and I never wanted to get behind a stump so bad in all my life. I would rather have met Grant and all of hie forces in open field than that freight train in that exact spot. That was about the closest call I had during the war. But wo finally crossed the bridge with some semblance of order and reached Baker’s creek. The next morning I was rotised by a 12-pound shell crashing through the tree tops. The long roll beat and we fell into line quick ly and marched abreast for a few hun dred yards, where we met the Yankees spur lines deep. It was a heavy fire for a short time. I shot six times at the color bearer, and saw the bearer fall, but their colors only dropped. It was under this heavy fire that our. own brave and gallant Adjutant Ellis Tell With a bullet hole between his eyes. He fell in the when the children have no access to books either at school or at home. “Some of these schools are taught by most excellent teachers—men and women of good culture and noble purpose; but some of them are taught by young men and women whose education was finished in the first or second year of a country academy, and still more by teachers who have never had any schooling except that furnished by these same public schools. Most of these young men and women do not expect to teach any longer than may be necessary to make a few dollars to enable them to get a start in some other business. The average school life of these teachers Is not more than three years of 100 days each. In this day, when all the world recognizes the neces sity of thorough scholarship and special professional preparation for teaching we should not be content to continue thus to play with our educational interests and the welfare of our children. “Most of these schools are taught in cheap, uncomfortable houses, with no adequate equipment and with little pre tense to beauty or sanitation. The south is no longer poor, as in the decades imme diately succeeding the ravages of war. Building material Is abundant in every state* and our men have strong arms to fell trees, prepare lumber and make brick. We should begin at once to build decent and comfortable school houses In every school district and to equip them With the needful furniture and apparatus. These school houses are the homes of our children all the days they attend school, and we should see to It that they are made worthy. • • "The great problem before us Is to get a good ten months' school In every town, village and rural community, to comfort ably house these schools in permanent buildings- properly equipped and to put in all of them efficient teachers, scholarly, cultured, well-trained and mature in life and character. In every school there must be a small collection of good books suitable for the children’s reading; the courses of study must <be so broadened as to bring them in harmony with the best schools in all the most progressive coun tries in the world. Within reach of every boy and girl there must be a good high school, well equipped with libraries and laboratories for teaching chemistry, physics, physiology and biology. These schools should provide courses of study of three or four years of ten months each. They should be the center of a larger educational life and culture In the com munities In which they are situated—the colleges of the people. "All this will cost money, but It can be done for less money In the south than tn any other part of the country, and with unlimited natural resources, a brave, in telligent, Industrious people will easily be able to foot the bills.

I stood my ground uqtil the , Yankees were within thirty yards of me. ' I looked around and seeing that ail of my comrades had fled I turned and followed suit. It did not take but a few jumps to get out of the woods tb the open field, and it was about a quarter of a mile across ’this field to a swamp. I don’t think I ever ran so fast In my life as I did then—my only thought In running was for a pair of wings. I reached the edge of the swamp face downward In a puddle of muddy water, between two shoats, and there I drank my fill of muddy water. In this battle we got a good licking, but that was because we were outnum bered four to one. We were completely scattered and cqt off from the bridge. Eight or. ten of our company followed the Big Black river, hunting for a crossing, and finding none, stripped off our clothes, tied them to our heads, threw our guns in the river and swam across. It was the second day after the battle before we reafchqd our camp at Vicksburg, nearly starved. We had lost all our baggage In the battle. It took several days for all .the boys to get back to camp and then we began’ preparations for defense, for th*. Yankees were closing ;in upon us. Vicksburg Is on the east side of the Mis sissippi and General Grant closed In upon us from an sides, so that we had no pos sible chance of escape.

THEY SHOOT WHERE YOU HOLD ♦ ALWAYS ASKFORTHOL] our lines day and night the shells ■ fell, some of them weighing 200 pounds and as big as nail kegs, and they surely did make It hot for us for forty-nine days and nights. Starvation began to stare us in the face, even our water was cut short. We were reduced to peas and bread, for a longer period than I care to remember, and such bread—l never want to see any more just like it. By the time it was cold It was full of cobwebs. Tne beef—what there was of It—was so poor it would stick to a tree. One day I was standing outside of the breastworks when one of those big shells burst about half a mile above us and a piece as big as my head struck the ground within two feet of me, covering me up In dust And dirt. Many of the boys thought I was killed, but I m not dead yet, but it was a pretty close call. I have never heard very much said about mule beef. I am willing to admit that the mules were butchered and issued as ra tions, but let me tell you It was only done by Pemberton for the money there was In it. On the day of the surrender there were three or four large warehouses full of provisions. On the morning of the sur render I tried to eat sotpe of the mule beef, but I could never chew It fine enough to swallow it. Uncle Sam will never live to see the day when he can muster as many men at one time as there were of the blues and grays. We were the pick and flower of the na tion. The Spanish-American and Philip pine soldiers know nothing about the hardships of war to compare with what we had to suffer. On July 3 a flag of truce was raised and Grant and Pemberton came to terms of our surrender. At 11 o’clock the next day we were commanded to fall in line and the conditions of surrender were read to us; then we marched three paces In front and stacked arms, then fell back 50 yarda Then the Yankees began to march In from every direction and they played “Dixie" until my hair stood on end. They stacked arms, then broke ranks, took off their haversacks and opening them up said: "Here, Johnny, get your grub! Here, Johnny, get your grub!" I didn't need much invitation. I sat down with a little Yankee nanjed Strayer from lowa. I was overcome with joy, for it was the first time I had had enough to eat for 49 days. Strayer told me that they had all drawn 200 rounds of ammunition the even ing before, for if we did not surrender they had orders to shoot the town and its occupants into doll rags. It was a good thing we surrendered, for If they had charged our ranks, there would have been an awfully big funeral procession the next day; * We got our pay rolls on the 6th of July. I do wonder how many of the boys re member the oath that we had to take that day? Here it Is: "To all whom it may concern, be it known that I, P. D. Post, Company B, Forty-first regiment, Georgia volunteers, being a prisoner of war in the hands of the United States forces in virtue of the capitulation of the city of Vicksburg and Its garrison, held by Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton, commanding on July 4, 1863, I do, in pursuance of said capitu lation, give this my solemn promise un der oath that I will not take up arms against the United States of America, nor discharge any duties usually per formed by officers or soldiers against the United Stqtee of Ajnerioa, until duly ex changed by the proper authorities, so help me God!" We left Vicksburg July 12 on a long, hot march to Meridian, Miss. At Merid ian we boarded some stock cars for Mo bile. I Reached home about the last of July. My mother met me at the gate, and throwing her arms around the neck of her returned soldier boy said: "Thanks be to God! My boy is alive and home again!" For she had mourned me as dead. I was provided with soap and water in the back yard. It was my first contact with either since the day before the bat tle of Baker’s creek. We were out of the fight for 84 days, then were exchanged and went into camp two miles below Decatur, Ga. Then the dread of war was upon us again. I think if there was ever a set of men who de serve honor and praise it is the men who suffered the agonies and perils of warfare during the siege of Vicksburg, A WORD TO BISHOP TURNER. To the Editor of The Journal: I see in your last week’s paper Bishop Turner quoted as being willing to go to Africa with 25,000 negroes. I suppose the government would have to pay their pas sage and force them to go with him, be cause force would' be necessary to move many of them from one country to anoth er, and he being free and equal under our laws I see no way he can be forced to go to Africa or elsewhere against his will. Bishop. Turner says there Is an irresisti ble conflict between whites and blacks, and nothing but separation will end it. I don’t believe there is any such conflict, only in the bishop’s disordered imagina tion, but if there really is such conflict, and if the bishop Is gifted with prophecy, he can see in the future this country as clear of the negro as it is now of Indians; and they will not be sent to Africa either. He says our children (meaning negro children, I suppose,) are generated and nurtured under a malignant and misan thropic excitement thgt will wreck this country. Now, I wish to ask who Is responsible for this feeling with the negro. Is not Bishop Turner and other negro ministers responsible? They have been free 35 year - ’, and there is but few now living who ever had much taste qf slavery, and these are the most law-abiding of the race; in fact, you never hear of any heinous ,• offense being committed by one of them. If Bishop Turner and other negro min isters will preach the, Bible to their con gregations and exhort them to live Chris tian and upright lives instead of harangu ing about the negroes’ franchise and rail road accommodations for him, .1 will war rant 4n ten. years their children will not be generated and nurtured In such ma lignant misanthropy to the whites as he now seems to think. I like his idea ; about cropping and branding •- for rape, but instead of sending them to Africa, turn them loose so .they. may be living walking examples to all such inclined scoundrels; and should Bishop Turner make Godly men of them no one will say nay.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—A cablegram was received yesterday from an author itative source In Calif, Colombia, near the Ecuadorean border stating that Ecuador had intervened as against Colombia with an army well equipped and with vessels of war. Under these circumstances, the cablegram states that It will be neces sary to meet the move of Ecuador by having Colombian war vessels In Pacific water near the Colombian Ecuador fron tier. The Information in the cablegram is con sidered clear evidence of Ecuador's In tention to joki forces with the rebellious element on tne isthmus of Panama. Un til now Ecuador has maintained strict neutrality, but the cablegram received today indicates that the first overt act against Colombian has been made. THE NEW YORK WORLD THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.

The competition of southern mills la driving them to the wall, and, under prevailing con ditions, they see no way of holding their own unless they can reduce the cost of producing cloth of the kind they turn out, hence their announced purpose to cut wages. . » But even that expedient promises but litfla relief, as the future Is anything but bright for the cotton mills of New England. The inevit able must eventually overtake them, as tima is sure to bring about the complete transfer of the cotton industries to the south. Foreseeing S this, the New Orleans Picayune indulges in th* following reflections • “There are about 80,000 men, women and children working In more than 100 cotton mills.V. In Massachusetts. They are protected by all the tariff they have ever asked for against English and other foreign cotton manufactur ers, but no tariff that congress can enact can j protect them against the southern cotton mills t in the cotton states. * “The urgency of this competition is going steadily to increase, and the day will com* 3 when the New England cotton spinners will regret that the southern states of the union 1 were not allowed to set up for themselves, so that the northern cotton mills would now be protected by that same tariff against the southern cotton spinners. Doubtless the north ern Iron and steel makers will come to some such conclusion also as the ability of the south to compete and undersell In those sta ples shall be developed to the full extent of It* extraordinary facilities. “But the south is in the union to stay, and \ an era of southern development has com- j menced. Not only has the day of competition by southern manufacturers with those of the 4 north set in, but the white workingmen of the q north have got to compete in labor With the I negroee of the south. " This competition is going to grow in strenu- 3 ousness every day, and the time will come m when it will be unbearable. It wHI be an evil ' which the working classes of the northern ; states themselves brought upon the country. .8 The workingmen of the north and west made J up the rank and tile of the great armies which 1 saved the Union in 1881-66. Many ot them will J live and their children will live after them to 3 regret that the south did not succeed in be- I coming a foreign country. , 1 “As for the south, it can work out its won- | derful destiny much better as a part of the richest and mightiest nation upon the planet. Its position is. therefore, all that ooaM b« desired, because, in a state of Independence, It would have to bear the whole of the burden* which the balance of the grand republic will d now assist tt to caTryf”-' - The Picayune’s conclusions would have «beea more accurate had they been to the effect M that when the south, in the natural course of events, becomes the seat of the cotton and Iron Indusrles the country will be relieved of the burdens it foresees a division of. Be’-up within sight of the cotton fields and gt th* mouth of the mines the workshops of textile J and metal working artisans will no longer neeij ■ artificial advantages to enable them tqaAourtoh fl in spite of foreign competition. Bau*ed of fl the unnecessary cost of moving raw material fl to far away points to find plants prepared to w turn it Into cloth and merchantable Iron, th* ’ south will be able to get along wtthtmt pro tective tariffs and to meet the world in open competition without calling upon the consumer | for tribute to help it overcome rivals from across the seas. RAN AWAY WITH MONEY. TAMPA, Fla., Sept. s.—Reslstencie Isß now discussing a story which is making the average member feel a frenzy he ha* | not experienced since the deportations. 1 A well known Spanish employe on the steamship Mascotte, which run* between B this city and Havana, states that a woman j has skipped with 38,000 in cash money f which was entrusted to her fqr delivery here. ; The Spaniards says that some day* ago | it was secretly determined by th« laboring ; people of Havana to help the Tampa strike ft sufferers. The sum of 38,000 was raised and entrusted to a woman, whose name is not divulged. The woman was a member of the union and in Havana looking after theMjg collections. She took the cash and boarded the steamer at Havana and came on to Port Tampa. When she arrived there she booked herself for a passage to New York and there Immediately embarked for Spain and is now on her way there. They declare that the money has gone with the woman and that she gave tbem ] the slip in the most heartlew manner.* ] The matter is being discussed among theTg members of the order and they are simply. ® wild over the flight of the woman- and J the money. They do not see any whereby they can get redress, as the man is out of reach and tuey do know where she has really gone to, about the only thing they are sure of to 3 the fact that they have not received thq i money which was intended for them.

When he reluctantly ac cepted the vice presidency, thrust upon him bj “Boss” Platt, It was understood that he had been placed upon the political shelf. It has not been the custom for vice presidents to .2 step into the presidential position unless to flu I a vacancy caused by death.
