The Great Music Festival.
Dr. J. Lewis Browne, Atlanta's now
famous musical director, deserves, and
will receive, the gratitude of tho
music-loving public for the great May-
June Music Festival whole plan and
program have about been perfected.
A number of tho greatest artists In
the country have been secured, and
these, with tho local talent, will ren
der a number of programs that would
do credit to any city In the country,
In addition'.to tho celebrated vocal
artlata engaged by Dr. Browne, whose
talents are known and appreciated by
all who aro conversant with mualc, a
Lira.- number of instrumental celebri
ties have been booked who will prove
a pleasant surprise to those who aro
so fortunate as to hear them.
As violinists, Dr. Browne has secur
ed W. W. Ilubner, Jr., of Plttiburg,
Pa., formerly of Atlanta. Mr. Ilubner
la the son of Charles W. Hubner, the
poet, of Atlanta, and his success hys
been rapid and great. Ho loft Atlanta
aboijt alx years ago for Philadelphia,
where he soon made a reputation that
reflected credit on the city of hla birth.
Oboe players from Cincinnati, basaon
artists from Chicago, flute, clarinet,
harp, violin, cello, viola and bass play
ers from all sections of the country
have been secured. These, with' the
local talent and the Teally great
chorus, will give to Atlanta the great
eat mualc festival In her history. ■*
With the comparison with this Hat
of foreign talent, those of Atlanta's
own artists who will take part will
prove aa great lights and will tte a
revelation to those who have not
beard them In concert and symphpny
orchestral work.
The expenses of the May-Juiie Festi

asked about It In Seattle as If It were

GAINESVILLE’S COMING CHAUTAUQUA.
With Its usual sleepless progresslveness, the Gainesville Brenau (and
there are three of them under the same management), is preparing to in
struct and divert the people of Hall county and North Georgia during the
last two weeks of July with a chautauqua planted on the shores of a
beautiful lake In the environs of the town.
Brenau rarely goes at things-In a slip-shod or penurious way, and
the first Brenau Chautauqua manned by the faculty of Brenau and the clti-
sent of Gainesville will be conducted on high lines of merit and attraction.
The program will bo made up of prominent and attractive figures whoso
names will draw from every section of tho state.
The equipment for comfort and pleasure will be thoughtfully ample,
and of course the climate and water or tho Gainesville region Is famed
throughout the country.
Few people realize the educative value of a successful and high class
chautauqua. Albany, In Georgia, Is perhaps 'the first and highest expres
sion of this successful Men, and tho Albany chautauqua has como to be
ao Institution as established and Indispensable as Its county court houso
or Its public schools. Barnesville, and Hawklnsvllle and Tennllle In
Georgia have kept up for years successful and popular, chautauquas, and
Gainesville now enters the list with perhaps as many things to attract
and as wonderful things to commend as any chautauqua established In the
South. *
With this attraction added to the superb quality of Its water, climate
and citizenship, the little metropolis of Hall county should be the mecca
of a multitude of travelers during the summer.
Messrs. Pearce and VanHooso are citizens of exceptional value to
any city or community In which they live.
MILLED SEVILLE ’8 BRILLIANT CENTENNIAL.
Perhaps no Georgia commencement of the present year will bo so for
tunate In a central Incident as that of the Georgia Military College at
Mllledgevllle.
On May 29tti the college and the people there are preparing to cele
brate the onO-hundredth anniversary of the first meeting of the General
Assembly of Georgia. . . .
The celebration rill .be held In tho college hall of the .Georgia Mili
tary college, which Is located In the historic old capitol building of tho
state.
Fortunate Indeed Is the Mllledgevllle school and the Mllledgevllle peo
ple In this happy occasion so rich in historic reminiscences and so ample
In Inspiration for a revival of patriotic sentiment among our people.
The whole history of Georgia In lii tranquil and in Its stormy days
will pass In review before tbe suggestions of the orators upon that happy
occasion.
The thunders that came from Herschel Johnson's great speech against
secession will be met and answered In eloquent memories by the wonder
ful speeches of Toombs In advocacy.
The earlier and simpler days of Georgia will stand out In reminiscence
In a hall where the ordinance of secession was drawn and where, subse
quently, was held tho first convention that reunited the state to the Federal
Union. The administrations of Joioph E. Brown, Charles J. Jenkins and
the slmplo life of the governors of those early times will be set In con
trast with the conditions and manners of today.
Tho orators at Mllledgevllle will not have to rack their brains for
things to say, but their chief difficulty will lie In their capacity to discrim
inate among the multitude of crowding memories and patriotic sugges-
tlans which fill their minds and hearts In this historic city of Georgia.
The Georgia Military college and the Girls' Normal and Industrial col-
lego are two of the famous Institutions of the South. Their commence
ment occasions are always objects of Interest to tjie people of Middle
Georgia, but upon this occasion the conditions surrounding tbe com
mencement of the Georgia Military college and the admirable list of speak
ers which It has gathered, will probably Insure a state-wide attendance
of the public men of yesterday and of today who will bo glad to revive
their memories ahd to quicken their patriotism by this fervid day at Mll
ledgevllle.
SHALL WE HOLD OUR OWN IN EDUCATION?
To be forewarned la to be forearmed, and to know what its commer
cial rlvalp bavo In view ought to be. the only Inspiration needed by tho
South to the wlso and prudent policies of Industry and education.
In an addrcia delivered before the Georgia branch of the South
ern Collego Womon'a Association Monday afternoon. President K. G.
Matheson, of the Goorgla Tech, fjavo a startling Illustration'of the apa
thetic attltudo occupied by the South In rcgnrd to educational and Indus
trial development, as compared with other states In tho Union.
President Matheson said:
“Quite recently f was visited by Professor Morse, of Boston,
who Is a member of a commission of threo appointed by the leg
islature of Massachusetts to Investigate the resources and Indus
trial condition! of the South, and see what steps the people here
are taking to develop them.
"Professor Morse told mo frankly that Massachusetts Intends
to teach her children how to convert the raw material of this sec
tion Into the finished product and then return It to us .for Bale. ,.
‘‘They Intend to beat ua at our own game,” declared ProfOB-
aor Malheaon, "and they will succeed If wo remain Inactlvo ami
do not train our children along the same llnes-on which Massa-'
chusetta and other atates are training theirs."
We decline to be drawn Into a dis
cussion with The Houston Post as to
the scantiness of the wearing apparel
of Mrs. Corey, nee Gilman, as evidenc
ed by newspaper cuts. If The Post had
not already admitted total depravity
with most reprehensible blltbeness,
we should be Inexpressibly shocked.
Now, however, that Journal by Its
abandon only fills us with pity.

MOVEMENT OF VESSELS.
FARMERS AND HOKt SMITH.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
I desire through your paper to ex.
press my opinion on the. question
Immigration.
It Is a well known fact that the farm
era of our state were almost solidly
for Hon. Hoke Smith for governor, and
they predicted that every act of his,
both official and otherwise, would be
for the! best Interest of the people
the state.
Now, the Hon. Hoke Smith has gone
abroad In the Interest of Immigration
for our state, In which we have plenty
of room and opportunities for severs!
times more' people than we have, and,
while some will raise cotton, some will
raise cbm. some will grind at tho mill
and others will spin nncl weave. We
would get ten consumers to one pro
ducer and just think who are we. Ask
youself the question.
Are we not the sons and daughters
of the first Iminl-rants who peopled and
clvlllztd and developed this country,
or are we better than that? Are we
come down from the heavens above
with a selfish, Instead of a charitable
disposition?
The modern farmer of today, If he
could meet his great great-grand
parents of the early days pf our coun
try, would say depart-from me,
know you not.
If we would do well, help others to
do well.
If we want a .blessing, help others
to share our good, grand and noble
country.
This Is what the farmers said: "Hoke
will do everything right,” and now his
very firs: - Important move after the
election before he even takes the oath
of office, right back on him they go,
and organize to fight hit first efforts.
I say. farmers, get right and shout
hurrah for Immigration.
I voted for Howell In the primary,
but I say hurrah for'Hoke Smith and
Immigration.

THE CALL OF YOUTH.
PIEDMONT FOR PLEASURE ALONE.
The Georgian Is In full sympathy with the meeting of citizens held In
the Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday afternoon to advocate the conver
sion of Piedmont Park Into a permanent pleasure ground after next
year'a fair has been held.
We had been under the Impression that this question was already
settled, and would not require further discussion. When the question of
holding the approaching atato fair In Piedmont Park was broached. The
Georgian with other public voices was approached merely for the purposo
of securing a postponement of tearing down tbe old buildings until after
the conclusion of tbe coming state fair.
The Idea waa that no place could be provided upon so short a time
for tbe state fair and that these buildings now In a condition of depay
might be held In reserve for this single year's exposition If It was the
general undemanding that they ahould be torn down and that this-mag
nificent space should be given up to the health and the pleasure or the
people of Atlanta.
We sincerely.treat that nothing will be allowed to Interfere with this
general propoaltlon. People of tbe north side need a park and pleasure
ground to balance the superb advantages enjoyed by the people of the
south side In-Grant Park. - -
And certainly no more beautiful and wholesome spot could be found
for a public pleasure ground than the rolling and romantic acres now oc
cupied by Piedmont Park.
Tho Georgian adopts as Its own the views of Mr. George Muse as
stated In a letter to the meeting of Tuesday. He said:
“I am heartily In favor or making Piedmont Park a perma
nent pleasure park. I think this Is the last year that fairs Bhould
be held there. Tho buildings are now In a dilapidated condition
and should, tn my Judgment, be tern down as soon as possible
after next fall's fair. 1 will be glad to cooperate with the cltixens
interested In making Piedmont park an attractive, beautiful
place set apart entirely for the pleasure of the people.”
The Intention la to convert the old exposition grounds Into pleasure
grounds more along tbe lines of Druid Hill Park In Baltimore. Not ao
much of zoological gardens, but playgrounds for young and old.
Kurokl's American fame la fixed. He
has said that American women are
perfect. Wise old Jap.
Why Is the summer girl's bathing
suit like the soul of wit? All telegraph
ic replies must be prepaid.
The Birmingham Age-Herald ably
champions the Jamestown exposition.
The plea la timely and the'argument
is'true.
The News and Courier does not
understand our wire jumping rope
coupon. Why, we thought that this
wonld be plate since Charleston claims
to be "on the lumb."
The Charleston News and Courier
dentes that Senator Tillman Is a liar.
This la the highest tribute the News
and Courier haa ever paid to Senator
Tillman. It la more than the Columbia
State would aay.
Dispatches stating that Castro will
go abroad for bis health has no refer
ence to the distinguished gentleman
who does a large part In making the
infield the Atlanta ball team Im
pregnable. Some of the clubs on the
circuit probably wish Atlanta's Castro
did not give dally /evidence of each su
perabundant health and spirit.

The spirit of spring Is tn the air,
I feel the hush of a Presence rare
That glides In the maxe of morning
mist
And sighs in the laden winds that
kissed
The crocus flower from sleep -and
roused - •’
The wsrbling birds In the elm leaves
housed;
She whispers In refreshing showers
And breathes In tender springing flow
ers:
tn sound. In form and color rife,
Unseen, unheard, enkindling life!
O'er all she waves her magic wand.
And Nature rouses to respond
To the call of Spring for life and Joy,
For virgin leaves so tender and coy.
From dellcata sheen of yellow and
- mu-', y. , -i A
To boWors of .foliage to grow. Between
Flowery sprays of ravishing hues
THo flitting butterfly beduty pursues.
From dewy grass tho moclt-blrd
springs,
Delirious with delight, he flings
Around him wild, ecstatic song;
Balmy odors upon us throng;
Tho sun shines, out from the blue
above:
Tho world’s aglow with hope and love!
To youth tho call for life doth ring;
From deep within, the vernal spring
Of life perennially fresh doth rise;
It o'erfiows with ecstacles In eyes
As sparkling and' bright aa sunlit'
water;
It ripples forth In rhythmic laughter;
It surges and swells In buoyant Joy
That on Its bosom doth employ
The commerce of noble thought and
alms.
The heart with true affection flames:
With college work the love of tho friend
Whose soul Is,as.our own doth blend
With sweetness rare. The auroral flush
Is over life; all objects blush
With beauty; thought Is colored with
fancy.
The hidden spirit of nature and poesy
Ravish the soul. The music of spheres
The heart attuned In harmony hears.
Visions rare unveil to the sight!
And flooded with celestial light, '
The soul Is radiant. Life doth seem
'The glory and the freshness of

Commencement. Indeed, Is this, a mere
Beginning of life's untried career.
Hark! to the call that Youth doth bring,
Heed the summons that clearly ringl
As In the spring all life doth acquire
New growth; In youth should'the soul
aspire
To nobler, to higher existence. See
How nature fulfills her Lord’s decree.
Herself unfolding. The strength of
youth.
Enthusiasm, a thirst for truth.
Are of God. From within us let the

Let truth and beauty In glory outshine!
Oh. heed the call of youth, the Ideal,
For realization doth appeal:
The powers of youth within ua thrill
The heavenly vision to fulfill.
And from the circling terraced tier*
Of four and sixty college years,
A goodly company today
Eagerly cheers our onward way.
Aloft we raise our crimson flag.
Behind no others let us log;
As one, we’ll conquer every foe,
And upward will we go.
Oh. crimson, glorious like the sun.
Nor toll, nor difficulties shun.
Lead on! till all our work be done.

THE STATE ROAD.
To tbe Editor of The Georgina
On August 2, 1901, you published for me
sn article entitled? "On to tbe Ocean With
Our State Itoad. 1
I therein endeavored, briefly, to state tbe
history of our road, to call attention to tba
fact that tbe road bad largely more than
defrayed the total ozpensea of oil brnuebea
of our state government (excepting eleemosy.
nary expenses), to point out the dnngcr of
Its depreciation In value In Its "present sit
uatlou,” and to urge that wo ahould begin
the work oP Its extension to the sen, mak
lug It a "through lino" by the time of
the esplrstlon of the eslstlug lease In the
year 1920. In that nrtlcleMt was contended
that building this extension would be no
Injury to the other railways of Georgia,
that there would be "room enough for all
by the tlmo of tho completion of tho Satti-
mlnu canal; but that, even If each a policy
ahould work competitive results ngalust
other railroads In Georgia, their owners
coubl not cotnplnlu In law, because of tlie
principle of "caveat emptort" nor In mor
als, because tbe state road had made them
all pay at n time when tholr private owners
were not flnanclslly able to make "western
connections.”
Events since so writing have confirmed
mo In my belief that no time should now
lie lost In entering on this work, with the
view to complete It by or before 1920.
It must be apparent to all who have
noted the unsuppllrd demands for ready
transportation facilities—and especially
keeping in view the completion of the great
canal—that this "through lluc"»fr»ni the

THE PROBLEM8 OF
ATLANTA'S GROWTH
To the Editor of The Georgian:
To be broad-minded and willing
enter Into big enterprises requires ed
ucatlon and knowledge. If one
visit New York and see the millions
of dollars spent and being spent
the benefit of those living there and
going there each year—the street car
and railroads, on ground, elevated and
underneath the ground, under great
buildings and under the water—when
one comes to Atlanta with room
build a great* Southern city that
today and for all future to be to the
South what Chicago Is to the West
and New York to the Union, he wf
be amazed.
It was never dreamed of by the old
settlers here that Atlanta would ev
attain anything like her present magic
growth. . Her. business renter Is con
gested'and Injured by the streets not
having been properly laid' out.
business blocks ought * to have
400 feet square, with 20-feet alleys dl
vldlng the' blocks. Stores could have
been built with depth of 190 feet
alley. Whitehall has takfen the lead
with shallow store depth and Broad
and Forsyth can never come to the
rescue, for the stbres haven't suffl
clent depth
The great firms like High & Co. are
at the> mercy of owners of small stores
and business scattered and rents run
ning up on them higher each year.
The residence section is being ruined
as the demand for houses In the city
Is so great that where lots formerly
100x200 had only-one house, now there
are six to eight, and from one to three
•torldfc.
The above are facts, and as they
exist the property holders are reapim
fabulous rents and the business am
resident section of the city Is stunted
and helpless, unless great effort
taken to ward off the tendency. J
tend the limits,*-grade out the streets
and give light, water, fire and school
facilities quickly, and then extend the
sewerage clear away and keep Attorn
ta In future on a broad basis.
The limits have got to be extended
All available lots for select homes have
been Improved or held for specula
tion. Those wanting to build new
homes with latest modem up-to-date
equipments, who realize value of best
sanitary plumbing and ventilation, and
are willing to spend $5,000 to $60,000,
for good reasons want to be In the
city limits, want school, police, fire
protection, lights, and not have to
spend enormous sums to have the city
extend limits, grade streets and make
its Improvements later and confiscate
what they have done and force further
expense.
To get city advantages costs money,
and better be In the city and pay high
taxes than in suburbs at half the price.
The future growth is a settled ques'
tion, and just as well be brogtf^flfltetf*
ed and liberal In spirit and purse: ex
tend limits, grade thoroughfares, Issue
bonds and prepare In *.lme for water,
sewer and lights, plan and work for
Greater Atlanta and the various tax
Incomes to the city will grow, and those
coming by the thousands each year to
Invest In business, homes, etc., will
come quicker and spend more when !t r
realized the spirit of Atlanta Is to hold
her position In the South, while Chica
go holds hers In the West and New
York in the East, to which all sections
will ever contribute to enhance their
values.
Thirty-five years ago there waa only
one man here that was talked of as
being worth $100,000. Now there are
many millionaires.
Preprfre the way, for outside capital
Is at the city's gates. Her magic
growth and her geographic position and
various advantages and. Inducements
to capital and skilled labor ' have
ipread all over tho country, and the
housands of visitors who come here
each year go to distant states and
countries to sing her praise, and so
by facts and*worth Atlanta will double
and treble In , values and population,
and give her a big broad bed and tuck
away the trundle bed as a suvenlr to
put up fifty years from now to show
he foresight, wisdom and confidence
her people had that made her greater.
United let every citizen be. and abol
Ish the narrow confines and break up
the little corporate nests and let her
be the proud, dominating spirit that
all sections will rally around In the

VISIT MORGIAN
Several Parties Are Shown
Through Modern News
paper Plant.
The boys of tho High school are
seeing how a modern newspaper Is
printed, and learning more about the
practical side of Journalism than a
school could teach them in many
weeks. For three days they have been
calling on Tho Georgian, and have been
shown the big plant from top to bot
tom.
The High school Is tdo big for all the
boys to come at once, so an Informal
Invitation was extended to them to
come as they “pleased, In small parties,
or large. Tho boys were quick to re
spond to the Invitation, and several
parties have visited The Georgian.
They were met by a member of the
business staff, who gave a thorough ex
planation of tho various processes
which go to make a daily paper, from
the gathering of the news to the mail
ing of completed Georgians. Then they
were'shown through tho composing
room, where they watched the llno-
trt>es, nnd to tho press room, where
they saw the whirling press turn out
Its thousands of papers.
Older than the pupils of ths grammar
schools, ths latest visitors watched the
making of a newspaper with even more
Interest and understanding. The won
derful linotypes, the preparation or
printed pictures from photographs, the
way news Is gathered ond sent over the
country through tho press associations
—all appealed to every boy who has a
love for mechanics—and what boy has
not?
It Is expected that, before the close
of school, every boy In the High school
will pay a visit to The Georgians
plant. They will find much to Inter
est them and will be shown every de
tail of the work.
