The Democratic Party And The South.
i'
For the past few months no subject has caused more comment than
the breaking ol the solid south and the advent of republicanism into Dixie.
It is the natural sequence ol the efforts of the press and of the orators of
the country. The latest production that has gained national consideration
comes from the pen of that great writer, John Temple Graves, well known
personally in Millcdgeville. When he writes of love, of nature, of home and
happiness, of spring time end harvest time, there is melody and music in the
words and phrases he uses, but when he comes to politics he is like some
certian plague. In the great paper, the New York American, he endeavors
to establish the fact that there is no longer a democratic party, that it is a
myth, a delusion.
Should he have written of the South he would have coined beautiful
expressions, made entrancing statements, painted pictures ot rare details
with indescrible scenery for a background. And yet when the South is
mentioned who is it that does not associate with it democracy? To say
that democracy is a myth is to say in other words that the boundry lines of
the South are being whiped away and that commercialism and the unending
struggle for existence is taking the place ofthe old hospitality and supplant
ing the practice ot southern chivalry which made lor every section ol the
South a name of fame tn that every man's neighbor was his brother.
l’crchance this ts true. Recently we heard one of the best ministers in
his country declare thut he wanted the lines of sectionalism whiped out
He wanted the South to assume a nation arpect, to be a factor in the affair
ol the nation. It ts probably the law of evolution, we are not pessimists, to
ff ty is a better day than the South ever knew before, tomorrow will be bet
ter and on ahead there will still be democracy and the undivided line that
makes the South the land ot lands.

set in the middle or conte*- of the rooms
from which the dinner or lunches were
served. Gas is used for cooking.
Some of the cocks had on white dresses

A Tech boy seemed to appreciate this
department more than any other. He
said it would be so nice for a man to go
home and find a dinner prepared in such
a lovely manner. He returned to his
class in the Technological Atlanta school
in a few hours, and he said he would
make all|the boys take off their hats to
him because he had been honored by
seeing the Georgia girls at work in their
cooking rooms.
Out upon the lawn a number of young
ladies were forming flower beds—every
