THE ATLANTA liEUJHrlAN A.NU NE\m MAN A GER T. S. DEARING AND HIS BOYS KEEP THE GEORGIAN GROWING IN ROME Th* names of those In the group, reading from left to right, are as follows:. Top Row—Early Padgat, Fay Norton, Frank Joyner. Middle Rov.—Dan Maroney, Mr. T. S. Dearing, Row—Roy Henson and Cliff Spence. manager; Homer Smith. Bottom The Georgian has no more loyal or efficient corps of workers anywhere than T. S. Dearing and his crew of sturdy, hustling news boys, who deliver The Georgian in Rome and look after its growing interests. Mr. Dearing reports that owing to tho growth of The Georgian’s popularity with the people of Rome and its daily increasing circulation, he has been compelled to seek new i|iiarters and will on Monday move his headquarters to the Horse Hotel, on Broad street; Tele phone No. 291. Mr. Dearing has a splehdid set of boys, who are making it possible, for The Georgian to se cure and satisfactorily serve a very large list of subscribers in Rome. SOME GOOD BOOKS AND OTHERS By “ARTHUR PENDENNIS, JR.“ left Burgess tells of a young man who HtarlH out In an automobile one after noon. evidently to have a pleasant time through speeding his machine up to and beyond the limit. As It should always result (although unfortunately In every-day life tome Innocent per sons usually suffer Injury from such daring), the hero demolishes his ma chine and nlmost himself, and wakes up the next morning In a strange house. He Is cared for In this strange house by two persons, a charming, beautiful girl and her negro »«■,■, girl. The plot it the story rests upon a case of dual personality as exnluueu by the beautiful young woman. The title of the story Is borrowed, of course, from the ancient fairy tale about the enchanted princess who had been wick edly changed Into a cat. who could only escape from her feline Incarnation by having her head and tall cut off by a prince who combined devotion with perfect faith. **" "POLLY.” By Georg* Van Derveer Morris. (The Neale Publishing Com pany, New York and Washington.) There Is not much excuse for "Polly." That is to say, we couldn't find any, e searched diligently. Mr. George Van Derveer Morris says that "Polly" is a fairy tale of love, "In which It Is shown that men love not so much the reality, the substance, as they do their own Weals." All of which may be very true, but Mr. Morrl* falls to prove It to us. In his book "Polly.” In tho first place we do not see why the book was called "Polly." It Is true thst there Is a little girl with a super natural knowledge of life, aged 7 years, named Polly In the book, but she ap pears a minor character In the general ■'■irking out of the plot.-as her tender ears warranted. Benator Beveridge's new child labor law should prohibit the placing upon the shoulders of a child at the age of 7 the burden of working out a story, even as fllmslcal a« Polly." We have had so many rhild heroes and he-olnes thrust upon a suffering public, ft am "Bebecca of Sunnyhrook Farm," all down and through "Emmy Lou’ and her kind, until we are getting a wee bit suspl- lous of human prodigies. And well >e may. with our evsry-day knowl edge of healthy ordinary children. Tho hero of "Polly" Is a young nows, leper man, who holds long and serious ■'inverse with Polly—age 7 years—and hint her, as well as from every one of nla acquaintances, he learns of a young lady With whom, without having seen and huvlng pointedly avoided meeting, he falls in love. Through diverse hap penings In many yeara this avoidance h»eps up, until he meets the young paragon of loveliness on shipboard In mldocean, and In practically the first th , Hh0 behaves much In the same conversation held with a girl he haa w ., h nno thcr man. - K.,— 1— V... >» m.rrv "*«. th( , se posslbtlttcs Mr. Burgess uses very well. Just how he releases the chnrmtaK young: woman (tonality number two is better told In a. knni, than we will endeavor to ex- In the negro maid of the young woman of the dual personalities. He drags In his arguments Incidents and references to this question which have no earthly relation to the story and serve only to seriously offend the principles and common sense, based on experience, of a majority of his readers. The offense Is not only one against good taste, but, we think. It fair to warn readers who hold such an unnecessary exhibition of bad taste, In proper horror; so that they may know what they will en counter In a perusal of "The White Cat." Mr. Burgess Is a Californian, and his arguments against race prejudice are not such as one might expect from a native of that state, when we recall the trying experiences undergone by the Fisk Jubilee negro singers several years ago In Los Angeles, when they found great difficulty not only In gel ling a place to eat. but a spot wherein to lay tholr unwelcomed heads. In Mr. Burgess' story modern magic naturally takes the place of the black art of the fairy tale. The possibilities of such a case con sist, first In personality number one, who Is all that the heart of man could desire, a most gracious, lovely, high bred woman, with a gift *“ r * he „ v „nil? and taste for the poems of Mr. Robert Drowning. Personality number two Is a breezy, slangy, athletic young worn- an crudely coquettish and tw inlnf. The plot hinges on and about the young automoblllst becoming bewitch ed by the delicious charm of person- alltv number one. The next day he encounters personality number two. who In precisely tho samo fascinating veil of flesh cuddles up to him, pats him on the head and altogether acts shamelessly like any coquettish girl. And the worst of It Is that he discovers sever before seen he asks her to marry him. Is not Mr. Morris asking Just a little In much of us to expect that we should ’(retch our credulity, even In story [Ke, as f« r as that? We think so, and >pe lie won't do It again. 'Vllh this hope In'view, and taking Into consideration Mr. Morris’ plea, the reality of Ideals” with which he •filers court, our verdict regarding Polly” Is "Not proven.” “THE WHITeIiAT.” By Oelett Burgess, (Th* Babbs-Merrill Com- wny.)

(The Neale Publishing Company. New York and Washington.) The life anti services, especially to the Confederacy, of Captain John New- land Maffltl, are very well told In a re cent book by Mrs. Emma Martin Maf- flit. Mrs. Malfitt Is Ihe widow of Cap tain, Mafflu and a resident of North Carolina. The book la Intsrestlng to students or the Civil war and Is well filled with letters, and parts of Caitaln Mount's Journals and notes. It tells of Captain Malfitt beginning life nt the age of 11, as a midshipman In the United Rtates navy; how at the Initiation of hostili ties he resigned from the navy and Joined his fortunes with th* Confeder acy. Captain Malfitt was In chuige of the Confederate man-of-war Florida, which ship, next to the Alabama, did more injury to the Northern commdrco on the seas than any other Southern vessel. It Is a good reference book and should be In every Southern public library. Tho family of Captain Malfitt Is es pecially interesting to Atlantans, owing to ths fact that his niece, Miss Matilda Mafflu, married Mr. Benjamin Crew, of Atlanta. She was so lovely a woman that her early death in lg|« was mourned by almost the entire city. She left three children, one of whom, Miss Roberta Southerland Crew, married Mr. Henry Inman, and at present resides In Atlanta. “SETH JONES, OF NEW HAMP 8HIRE.” .By Edward 8. .Ellis. (O. W. Dillingham & Co. Fur sale In Atlanta hy Lester Book and* Stationery Com pany.) "Seth Jones of Nsw Hampshire" li one of Ihe first dime novels ever pub llshed, edited by the author and sent forth In a very pleasingly attractive form for present day reader*. In th* Introduction Mr. Ellis make* a strong plea for a proper definition of a "dime novel” and shows that when these pub. Ilcatlona were first Issued they were worthy and gave satisfaction to dis criminating readers. Certainly If the other dime novels are on the same or der as "Seth Jones," Mr. Ellis un doubtedly proves Ills case. Mr. Ellis goes on to show how the dime novel deteriorated, because of the Issuance by unscrupulous publishers of any story that would sell or appeal lo a morbid taste. Seth Jones of New Hampshire” Is a first-rate Indian story. And It I* a good book for young people, written In a good style, clean and free of all tendency toward sensationalism. True there nre some Incidents In Ihe book that are difficult to digest, such as the time when Seth Jones, while a captive In the handa of the Mohawk Indians, and through knowledge of the respect shown by Indians of an Intane person, he deliberately tomahawks th* Indian chief. Imping thereby to forcibly Im press his Insanity upon hla captives and escape death. Still, altogether, it Is a rattling good story and a good one for young boys 'or men. “SAMPSON ROCK OF WALL STREET." by Edwin Lefevre.

Good Positions for Men of Character and Ability to Represent Us in Ceorgia. good story of the habitues of the graat stock markets. It Is a great deal better story than "Friday, the llth," by Law son, for such things as related might happen, while In Ihe latter story cer tain Incidents are told (hat seem to be even beyond the powers of Imaglnatloi. We can not say that Mr. Lefevre ap proaches the charm of his delightful little story, "The Golden Fleece," In "Snmpson Rock," and while the latter drag* along at time* sulficlenlly to cause the reader tn wish he would be up and doing. It Is *o much better thqn most of th* »torle* laid In and around Wall itrc«t that ws welcome It with open arms. Sampson Rock Is a great manipula tor "In the Street." He Is a widower, with only one child, 8ampson Rock, Jr., who spends his time traveling around and about the world collecting armor and whatnots and we wager to say, although Mr. Lefevre does not so state, that Mr. Rock, Jr., plays ‘‘bridge whist.” Sampson Rock, like many an other eminently successful man. was burdened with the thought of the utter lark of Interest shown hy his only son In the great business of his father and a lack of desire to perfect himself in the work of making himself capable of carrying on his father's Work and his enterprises after the latter's death. Sampson. Jr., turns up at. his fa ther's office one day, after a long cruise around the earth, and finds the old man busy on a great scheme to get control of a rival line of railway In Virginia. The young man does not approve of his father’s business methods and has long arguments with him, as to the proper conducting of stock manipulations. As this Is the first glimmer of hope that Sampson Rock has ever seen of any business Interest In the son, he Is pleased even to discuss his own short comings. The result of which Is ta have the young man come in to his father’s office and work out his theory. Young Sampson Rock goes down to Virginia tn see if he can not. through what he slylea hla fair methods of stock manipulations, secure the controlling Interest In the rival road.
