I have lain In the dust with the vanquished When my banner went down in despair* And I thought In my woo that I never might know The day of success, oh, how fair! And yet, when the sun on the morrow Shone forth with Its comforting light, With a new-kindled zeal and a heart bravo and leal I went forth again to the fight! The world cannot judge me by motive, Nor love me If thus I have failed: But, behold 1 there’s an Eye that can see how I try, And knows that I never have quailed 1 And I think of that glorious heaven. And of Him who sits on its throne. Who will chide not at all if we rise or we fall, So long as right purpose is shown 1 Not for aye shall I plno In the shadow Nor sulk in the gloom of defeat; For the promise is sure to the hearts that endure, All the more is the victory sweetl —[Douglas Dobbins.

When the McLendon case was up be fore the legislative committee Judge John C. Hart g;as called before the committee, as he represented the State and the Commission before the Inter state Commerce Commission in the pro test against raising the rates of freight from Western points into Georgia, * What Judge Hart had to say is of interest now because of the candicncy of men for positions as Railroad Com missioner. One candidate is an At lanta drummor, representing an Atlan ta dry goods establishment. He de clares for the Atlanta port rates. To i qualify himself to represent the Ceorgia Railroad Commission, Judge Hart applied to .the Commission for in formation in order to prepare himself for the case before the Interstate Com merce Commission? Judge Hart testified: “It was an ex ceedingly difficult question which we had up for consideration—the question of rate-making. I do not think it was the purpose of Mr. McLlendon or any member of the Commission not to ren der services to counsel. I think.it was lack of ability. And I didn’t mean any reflection on the Commission. We were dealing with something that takes time and study to understand.” Mr. McLendon, v after long research, got up a .paper, obtaining the infor mation from, the proper source, the Interstate Commerce Commission. “That paper,” says Judge Hart, "fur- ished me by Mr. McLendon was all the information I received from any mem ber, except a little argument from Judge Hillyer.” Again, Judge Hart in his testimony said: “I have never questioned the Commission’s sincerity nor its integri ty; I did, to somo extent, its lack of knowledge of the case we had up, and that means no reflection on tho Com mission—simply a thing I did not under stand, I am frank to confess, and I haven’t yet seen a man since I have been connected with the department who professed to thoroughly under stand rate-making. Rate-making is an exceedingly difficult problem.” Judge Hart, distinguished for ability, confessed rate-making was a puzzle to him. The Judge, eight years on the bench, eight years Attorney-General of the State, warns the people that rate making is an exceedingly difficult and intricate problem. Yet, to men of lesser intellect and experience—for instance, a member of the Hoke Smith drummer club—it is all so easy. In fact, The Journal printed names of three hundred who are travel ing over the State tolling how easy rate- making is. This shows that Judge Hart, when he desired information bo as to represent the State, made a blunder. He applied to-.the wrong tribunal. He Bhould have sought the “Atlanta 300.” Then Judge Hart would have dis covered that thd aspect of a question as presented to the Commission should be decided, not according to the law and evidence submitted in each case, but ac cording to one’s political promises or personal interest. The Port Rate Case. Dublin Courlor-Dispnteh. That Atlanta 1b making another des perate effort to make an artificial poft of herself—something nature refused to do—is quite evident. There are three Railroad Commis sioners whose terms of office expire this yenr. There is opposition to the only two who are opposed to port rates for Atlanta. Atlanta for several years has been trying to make a port of herself, and she has never for one minute aban doned the Bcheme. The wholesale mer chants of that city are just as desirous of securing a big'advantage over the' other cities and towns of the State now as ever before—perhaps more so. If Atlanta should be given special privileges by the Railroad Commission, the other cities and towns of the State would be handicapped in the race of progress. Savannah, Brunswick, Macon, Alba ny, Milledgeville, Bainbridgo, Colum- buB, Hawkinsville, Abbeville, Lumber City, Dublin, and other river and port points were given an advantage by na ture over Atlanta, and that city has al ways been envious. Atlanta is a big city, and a progres sive city. She is tho pride of Georgia, v and all of us are desirous of seeing her grow and expand. There is a limit, however, beyond which the people are not willing to go. They are not willing that Atlanta shall become a half mil lion city at the expense of Macon? Sa vannah, Augusta, Columbus, Dublin, qnd all the other cities and towns of the State. The gubernatorial situation is quiet, but the Atlanta drummers are very ac tive. They are daily distributing liter ature against the re-election of Gov. Brown, and one of theifi is a candidate for Railroad Commissioner against Mr. Gray. The situation is sufficiently momen tous for the citizens of Georgia outside of Atlanta to look well to their ballots, if they do not desire that city to be come in reality all of Georgia, as' the people of Atlanta have been wont to claim for many years.

A charming Louisville girl, tho daugh ter of a minister in Louisville, has al ways been famed for her habit of sav ing things because they may come in handy, and this summer •' he family was telling a story on her winch she would give a good deal to suppress. She had been away at White Sulphur Springs, and, being especi -Jly popular, had be come the recipient of such a variety of souvenirs that before corrung home she sent one trunk ahepd in wnich she put many of tho various trinkets for her smaller brothers and sisters, and Borne summer frocks which had become too faded for wear. Her mother industri ously unpacked the trunk lind finally, when reaching the bottom, was trans fixed to find several hundred poker chips and about half a dozen decks of cards. When her horrified father later demanded an explanation, the daughter quite innocently and unconsciously said: “Why, father, they were left in thp room I was occupying-by some former occupants, and I just took them be cause I thought they might come in handy.” And oven the minister smiled at her explanation.

In the garden adjoining St. George’B chapel at Windsor Castle is a tree with one of the strangest.of stories. Blighted and stunted by lightning, it Btands to recall one" of the tragedies of history. It is a willow and grew from a cutting taken from the tree above the grave of Napoleon at St. Helena. For long it flourished in its new position, But on the day of the battle of Sedan, in which the power of Napoleon III. was crushed, a flash of lightning carried away its chief branch. Still, in its mutilated state it continued to grow lustily enough until, years later, it was smitten by another lightning stroke. Careful comparison showed that the second disaster synchronized exactly with the death of the prince imperial, son of Nanoleun III., at the hands of Zulus of Africa.
