THE AMEBICL8 WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDEK: FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1901.
THE HG5IJ3.
l he tendency o{ modern lire,'’ says
ScwYorker, “is toward the abolition
housekeeping in the city. People of
aeeuS have come to the conclusion
• out it is better ta dwell during the
winter season in a eood hotel than to
Maintain a private domicile. During
•he summer they tivo in fine country
, j^ees. and their real home life is cen
tred m these suburban abodes. This
i F -etting to be more and more the or-
ier of things in Kew York, and, on the
■.thole, it is about the best arrangement
tinder existing conditions.”
Then the “exietiug conditiocs ’are to
, c regretted. While hotel life affords
conveniences and advantages, it is not
the Kind of idea family should be will
ing to live very long. Neither the
hotel, boarding-house nor the com
munity flat can afford a trno home;
least of all, a family home. Those who
hate been so unfortunate as to have
had no other,bare never known what a
true homo is. The family should have
n home to itself, where it cau gather
around its own fireside and enjoy that
,, 8 a,. e an 1 seclusion, that sweet com
munion and contentment known uot
beyond its threshold. The family
home is the niter of love and patriot
ism,the foundation stone of the repub
lic The family iiresido makes meu
hotter and braver aud truer; it gives
them hope aud courage when all else
i'ails, and tends to lead them from
temptation and evil ways. Children fly
the rooftree soon enough. They should
be taught the meaning and the benefits
of home, and there will ever linger
with them the memory of its beauty
aud charm aud sweetness. The hotel

ing place; it may save household cares
aud annoyance"; bat it is not home
A men loves his home; ho wastes no
affection on his boarding place. A man
will light for his home! Imagine him
fighting for his hotel! Aud woman
The woman who has no ambition to bo
mistress of a home is to be pitied
Young man. never marry a woman who
is coutent with hotel life, who thinks a
boarding place, where they rent beds
and sell basb, is a home. Thcro is a
theme for the preachers here. Lot
them iuvoigli against the decadence cf
‘.he family iireside; let them encourage
•he home builder, the home-maker, the
home beuiitifier. Wherever possible
the home should have such eternal
adornments as trees and grass and
Sowers Within there are few limits
to the delights and beauties that may
be cultivated. The home is the cradle
of virtue and liberty.
THE STATE ROAD.
PISTOL CARRYING.
The cowardly practice of carrying
pistols would bo stopped if the courte
would rigidly enforce the laws bow on
the statute books and Chief Executives
would resolutely resolve to pardon no
pistol toter.
It isn’t so necessary to make pistol
carring a felony, as it is to have the
fact clearly established that when a man
is caught with a pistol concealed on his
person he will have to stand the conse
quences without leniency from the
courts or clemency from the Governor.
As a matter of fact.it would probably
he better to assess a good, stiff line
against a pistol-carrier aud make him
P»y it than to try to make a felony of
the dangerous practice.
The certainity of punishment has de
terred thousands of persons from com
mitting crime. So in this case, when it
is known beyond the shadow of a doubt
that he who is caught with a pistol must
stand the consequences, with no hope
of pardon from any source, there will
he fewer pistols m the pockets of men.
f’he Georgia Cracker says:
“the Kimball House lobby an
nounces its candidate for governor two
y cars before the election, but the suc-
cesful candidate wilt abide his time and
direct to the people.”
With the death of Harrison one G.
Cleveland, a duck shooter residing
somewhere in New Jersey, we believe,
H the only surviving ex-president.
There'is much discussion in G’eorg a
over the proposition as to whether the
state road should be sold. This is a
very valuable piece of property and its
sale or lease has always been a public
question. Originally this road was built
from Atlanta to Chattanooga — 138
miles—to give Georgia a highway to
the west. It was for a long time the
only gateway through the mountains
to the lower country, and as such the
state felt called upon to keep it open
and to guarantee its neutral policy. In
time, however, the state chartered oth
er roads as competing lines. Colonel
Ccle built the East Tennessee, Virginia,
and Georgia down through Chattanoo
ga, Rome, and Atlanta,and later on the
Marietta and North Georgia railw>y
was chartered to Knoxville. In this
way the state road lost its distinctive
•character as a grand trunk line and be
came only cue of three western con
nections. The state, however, has al
ways secured good rental. The prop
erty, iu spire of competition, has en
hanced in vain* and the people may
not bo ready to sell it. They will pre
fer to keep it agaiu^t outside combina
tions and syndicates, for so long as
Georgia bolds its title it will bo able to
guarantee under a lease certain forms
of competition. The state has always
resisted every effort to dispose of the
property and this will probably be her
policy for the next 20 years.—Savannah
Press.
The Milledgeville Union-Recorder
says;
Some of the prohibitionist* are now
in favor of dispensaries in all the big
Georgia cities. This question will pro
bably beome an issue when the legis
lature meets in October.

THE IWlfl IPEOFIO 00. ATLANTA, GA.
THE LONDON TIMES
SEVERELY CENSURED
The House of Commons Is
Greatly Stirred.
ALLEGED BREACH SECRECY
Conservative Member Would Like to
See file Paper Suspended For a Week.
Daily Mall Charges Venality Iu High
Places.
London, March 16.—The members of
the house of commons are greatly
stirred up by the London Times’ alleged
breach of secrecy iu regard to the pub
lishing in advance the government’s
civil list proposals.
A curious feature which has uot
leaked out in the papers is the implica
tion of the Birmingham Post iu the
same charges, and there is a half hu
morous aud half serious attempt on the
part of the Irish members to connect
Joseph Chamberlain with the affair.
The Birmingham Post is one of Mr.
Chamberlain’s warmest supporters and
if the Liberals can get this organ pun
ished they will take it as a personal
score off the much disliked colonial sec
retary.
A conservative member of parliament
informed a representative of the Asso
ciated Press that a majority of his party
would be delighted to see the Loudon
Times suspended, for, say a week, not
withstanding the idea of seriously af
fecting its news service but with giving
it a “much needed lesson.”
Mr. Balfour, the government leader
in the house of commons; Sir. Henry
Campbell-Baniiermuu, the Liberal lead
er, ami Mr. Gully, the speaker, have
been consulting together during the
week-end. Among the suggestions
that they will consider is one to examine
all the members of the civil list com
mittee separately under oath, aud so
run down the culprit.
The Daily Mail prints an editorial in
this connection headed -‘Unusually Di
rect Charge of Venality in High Places,”
iu which it says:
“Should the speaker, ns he certainly
won’t, decide to have The Times reporter
thrown out of the house, our contem
porary would have no difficulty in em
ploying further honorable members or
officials to supply it with such news as
it may desire to publish. If the com
mittee cannot find powers to act as the
guardian of its own honor and to pre
vent the disclosure of information which
is solely iu its possession thcro is no
remedy.”
Film Terry In London.
London, March 10.—Ellen Terry will
signalize her first appearance in Loudon
after Sir Henry Irving’s tour of the
provinces by appearing in “Nance Old
field,” at the Cornet theater March 25.
The event will be particularly interest
ing, as the piece to be giveu asacurtain
raiser is Purcell’s “Masque on Love,”
the pictorial treatment of which has
been entrusted to Gordon Craig, who is
Ellen Terry’s sou. Sir Henry Irving
and Miss Terry will open their regular
Lyceum iu the middle of April.
King Edward Fences.
London, March 16. — King Edvynrd,
who, after the injury to his knee, was
obliged to # keep his room, has taken tu
fencing us the best antidote to the sed
entary work necessitated by his now
state duties. Ilis majesty is often seen
cycling betwcey Marlborough aud the
Mall Recently the king attended a
West End school aud indulged in fenc
ing with great zest. He is said to be a
capital swordsman and uses the foil
with considerable skill and precision.
