Savannah News,
We have no doubt that the com
mission chosen to raise the money
necessary for the construction of a
Georgia building at the St. Louis
Fair will be successful in getting
the required amount, faamely,
$25,000, but it is notioeable that
town councils and boards of oonn-
ty commsssioners are not acting
with the promptnes that was ex
pected. Indeed, the commission
ers of very few of the oouuties
have acted as yet.
We assume that the commis
sion is doing all it oan to secure
prompt action. It is certain that
Mr. H. V. Washington, of Maoon,
its chairman, has been as active
in the matter as he could be ex-
peoted to be.
All of the towns and counties
ought to lend a helping hand in
this matter; all of them are inter
ested. The advertisement which
the building will give the state
will be of benefit to all of them.
It may be that some pf the coan-
ties do not intend to make a con
tribution to the fund. It is to be
hoped that if auy of thsm have
such an intention they will give
the matter further consideration,
and deoide to contribute some
thing, even though the amouut
they feel able to give is small.
As already stated, Gov. Terrell
has announced that “Liberty
Hal,” the home of Alexander H.
Stephens, at Crawfordville, will
be taken as a model for the build
ing That, doubtless, is satisfac
tory to the great majority of the
people. “Liberty Hall” isn’t a
handsome house, but it is a spa
cious one, ana a building at the
St. Louis Fair like it will have far
more interest for Georgians and
other visitors at the fair than a
far more pretentious structure
would, because of its associations.
As is well known, th,e building
Is-.not intended to house the ex
hibit that the state is to make.
That will be provided for in the
various fair buildings. The Geor
gia building will have no ekhibit
of itB own, but it will be head
quarters for Georgians visiting
the fair, and, doubtless, from it
will be distributed pamphlets
showing the advantages which
Georgia offers home-seekers apd
investors.
The reason why the towns and
counties should act promptly is
that the fair will be opened in
the very near future and the
Georgia building ought to be
opened at the same time the fair
Americans Love Luxury.
Good Givers.
Atlanta Constitution.
“The love of luxury is innate
in the people of America as it is
in no other oountry iu the world,so
far as my experience goes,’’said W
H. Welsiger, a traveling man of
Pittsburg, who was ou a sleeper
coming into Atlanta yesterday
morniug.
“I have watched this feeling
crop out in all sorts of ways, but
there is no better evidence of it
than is exhibited in the prefer
ence of men and women of very
moderate means for traveling in
the best coaohes on the trains
they may chance to board, regard
less of the faot that it posts extra
to ride in some of the oars, and
of the additional faot that the
regular day coaohes are now so
fine as to leave little to be desired
in the way of oomfort. It is sim
ply a determination to have the
best that is going that causes
them to do this. I have traveled
over a considerable part of Eu
rope, and there is no such char
acteristic exhibited there by the
middle classes of these countries,
They are content to go second and
even third elass, although in
many instances, they appeared to
oe as well off in this world’s
goods as the same class over here.
I see men almost every day olimb
on trains, take a look into the
different coaclns, and then drift
back into the sleeper and dig up
a quarter or fifty cents and pay
it for the privilege of sitting a
short distance in the best ooach
on the train. The conductors no
tice the same thing aud speak of
it. We are a proud people and
we don’t care who knows it,” he
concluded.
A number of adventurous Amer
icans who have volunteered to
fight in the Japanese service in
the event of war with Russia have
been disappointed to learn that
there is no volunteer army in Ja
pan, hence they cannot be accept
ed. However, if hostilities break
out, Japan may speedily find a
way to utilize any foreigners that
may feel inclined to cast their
lot under her flag.

No national convention of'the
Republican party has ever been
called for so late a date as that of
1904. The November election
will occur, however, on the latest
possible date, namely, the 8th,
which will be “the first Tuesday
after the first Monday 1 r of the
month, so that the campaign this
year will be exactly as long as
that of 1900, when the conven
tion met on June 19 and the elec
tion was on November 6.' But
the 1904 campaign will be much
shorter than the average since

The family of Mrs. M. L. Bob

dying and were powerless to save
her. The most skillful physi
cians, and every remedy used,
failed, while consumption was

turned despair into joy. The
first bottle brought immediate
relief and its continued use cpm-
pletely chred her. It’s the most
