Americas, Ga., April 7, 1910. SOUTH GEORGIA MUST PROTECT ITSELF ON THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. THE ROOSEVELT INCIDENT AT ROME. THE GOSPEL OF BEAUTY NEEDED IN SOUTH GEORGIA. What was at first regarded as noth ing but a curse is now found to have had some of the elements of a blessing mixed up with' ii. We refer t othe boll Contagious Blood Poison is at the bottom of a grcr.t themselves richer, with their lands yielding much greater profits and ad vancing more rapidly in value than before the boll weevil first Invaded the fields. It Is frejuently the case In life that what seemed a disaster beyond calcu lation, with nothing liut evil In its as pect, turns out in the end to have more of the elements of a blessing in it than tions, and that the pope was antl- Chrst. It was an exhibition of nar- nowness on the part of some of the Atian'a clergymen arising out of sn angry state of mind. The common sense cf humanity does not endorse such a view any more than It en dorses idle statement of the gentleman who drafted the resolution that the Catholic church is not a Christian There are not missing signs that a hot campaign isto he waged for control of the State Railroad Commission. Witb its usual push Atlanta Is in the field with the port rate Issue, determined to win enough seats in the commission to put into practice the views that are In tended to build up the business Inter' ests of that city at the expense of oth er cities. Atlanta cannot be blamed for this. It is Its business to seek to ad vance Its own interests. If it sue ceeds in doing this the blame will rest upon the other communities that al lowed Atlanta to triumph in this par ticular instance. Selfishness Is the basis of all progress In business, self ishness ou the part of Atlanta is at the root of the port rate agitation, and sel fishness will guide it throughout the -campaign. The port rate fight was begun by certain jobbing interests of Atlanta and it is conducted almost entirely in their Interest. They have financed it and they will be the beneficiaries of -the proposed change. Its purpose and its effect will be to extend the control ■of the Atlanta Jobber^ over the trade cf the slate, enabling them to compete, under conditions more favorable to Ahem, with the jobbers of other points invade the territory of other towns and cities and take from them trade what naturally belongs to them. That Is what’ -Atlanta is after. Wo don’t blame At lanta in the slightest. We admire its nerve and get-up policies. But we do blame the other communities if they do not resist the proposition with all their might and protect their own In terests. Of course there will be the usual ■specious plea that this is not Atlanta's fight, that the philanthropists in busi ness up there are spending money fighting for the good of the state at large. But did you really ever know Atlanta business men to be fighting to advance the interests of anybody save themselves in a business way? Do the people of Macon. Amerlcus, Cordele, Albany, Brunswick Waycross, Valdosta and other towns and cities of South ’ Georgia, imagine for an instant that when Atlanta's Chamber of Commerce starts another agitation for port rales its mission In doing so Is to build up the business interests of those cities? ■Can the Ethiopian change his color? Can the leopard change his spots? Can the Atlanta manufacturers and Jobbers ■change the innate selfishness that gov erns buisness men in their desire to se cure advantages that wil broaden their territory and bring new trade -under their control? .Whoever Atlanta supports for rail road commissioner, it can be safely as 1 of a curse.

Here Is what Governor Sanders, of Texas, has to say of the result of Its work in that state Before the irruption of the Mex ican pest the Texas farmer raised cot ton almost exclusively, and had to look to other sections of the country for his food supply. Brought by the wee vil to -the necessity of growing hog and hominy at home. Gov, Sanders says the result has been that with a season or two of diversified farming the bank returns show larger deposits than when cotton was grown to the exclus’on oi food products. Truck farmers, who formerly were cotton planters, then thought times were prosperous if an acre of land yielded $75, whereas now $100 to $500 an acre is realized. Gov. Sanders, the Washington Post says, might add that Texas is rapidly attitude in many respects, to claim that it is not a Christian body is an exaggeration that will not be re-echoed by the mass of enlightened protestant sentiment, in the differences between the two great bodies into which Chris tendom is divided we are too apt to overlook the essential poinls on which they agree, the worship of the same God, the Universal Father and Crea tor of all things, the virgin birtln of Christ, his sacrifice on Calvary, his resurrection, his atoning jtower. AH the great primal truths that are ac cepted by the protestant churches of the world are to be found stressed by the Catholic church. Perhaps if we looked more for the points pn which there is an agreement it would be bet ter for both branches of the universal church, and the breach would be nar rowed instead of widened. The Fairbanks and the Roosevelt in cidents are simply proof that the con- driving Spanish and Bermuda onions sttuted authorities of the Catholic out of our markets by furnishing an church at Rome rannot vlew tbfngs equally good article at a closer figure. , , , Of course, rice and sugar cane are from an American standpoint.

There is really no excuse for this absence of natural adorpment to the home surroundings. It indicates a lack of desire for the beautiful, a lack of appreciation f’ the beautiful, the need of a stimulus in that direction that should be given by those whose business in life it is to‘lead and to ed ucate the people.

Out of the desert comes an aparation, out of the jungle a terrible noise. The elephant killer, the lion queller, the rhinoceros hunter leaves his congenial task and comes to sat th* paths of civilization straight. Father Nile has borne many impet uous and chafing souls upqa his mys terious bosom, but he-.wa* electrified as by a live wire when Bwana Tumbo came. The water boiled and roared, and the banks reechoed hoarse cries the long-absent one. He came, and was delighted. Ho stepped to the bat, in the pink of con dition. Not a tsetse fly had reached him! The stored-up batteries of plvll- zatlon felt the touch of tye living mag net, and forthwith there were thund- erings and lightnings, and the crash of and confusion. At Nllua' mouth the world waited for the burning words of 'ideals, and It will Inevitably accentu- consclence prevails. But It is alone In this country that there Is an entire severance of the relations of church and state, a complete divorce between them, and eachi and every denomina tion Is permitted to work out its own salvation without assistance or hin drance of any characte^from the gov ernment. Incidents like the two re cent occurrences at Rome will more than ever strengthen the conviction In this country that this condition of affairs must be maintained. It Is an evidence, or as such tt will assuredly be accepted”by the mass of protestantB, that those at the head of the other great division of Christendom are op posed to the American standards or ate the determination In this country to allow no encroachments on the es tablished order of things here. It is well that this should *e so. Nothing could work greater harm to the nation than any interference with the condi tions that have prevailed since the establishment of the government. This qu'ckly take root and flourish like the bay, the only explanation that can he gi^en for the absence of these things its that the people are indifferent, that they do not appreciate their value, that they have not been brought to realize that life will he* ennobled by such an improvement in the home environment. A gospel of beauty is needed through out South Georgia. The preachers should preach it. Nothing will do more for the people than to awaken In them aTlove of fragrance, a love of color, a love of the exquisite plant life that God has so bountifully endowed old mother earth with for the delight of His children. The newspapers should agitate it, the public schools should seek to arouse It. There should be a campaign, not for a day or. a week, but continuously, for -the beauti fication of the home surroundings throughout this section. The love of the beautiful Is part of true Christian culture. It is part of genuine civilization, it Is as much a part of education as tho prosaic rules of grammar or the established princi ples of mathematics. It broadens and sweetens and elevates life, it adds to the pleasure of existence. It Is worthy of cultivation, It is worthy of "special education, it should ‘be part and parcel of all the uplifting influences that are at work In this section. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO..

The world Is rapidly passing beyond tho stage when anything but an abso lute freedom of action In religions matters will be tolerated by an Intelli gence that has been educated to de mand freedom of conscience in the highest degree. The faet that In Rome the Methodist church. In the face of 'the proteatf of the Vatican, Is permit ted by the v state to continue Its re- 1’gtoug and eddlfetlonal -propaganda, that In France the old Huguenot church Is taking on a new life and displaying a vigor akin to that shown three centuries ago when it gave promise of changing France into protestant country, and that in parts of Austria the Lutheran church is mak ing vast strides, are ample evidences 'that the old order of-things is rapidly passing away and that within a few generations in every civilized land con ditions will approximate what they are now In the United States. And until then, as well as thereafter, It might be well for all church bodies to emblazon on their banners the ui- monition of Christ, “Love ye one an other.’’ A breath of our inspiration Is the life of each generat'on; A wonderous thing of our dreaming Unearthly, impossible seeming— The soldier, the king, and the peasant Are working together in one, Till one dream shall become their present, And their work in the world be done.
