In which mention was made of the Orlffln pa pern, The Middle Oeorgla Farmer and Ha veteran editor. Col. W. E. II Bearcy, were overlooked. The Farm er la a well known paper, nnd haa great Influence In tho section whore published. Colonel Searcy was editor In chief of the Organ of tho Alliance In Its palmy days, and vice president of the order In the atatc. He hna long been prominent with tbe temper gneo movement in Georgia and took an active and succcaaful part In the lata campaign for governor. We did not Intend to alight our friend. Three Georgians as Escort. Captain Jeff Dunwody, Lieutenant Henry M. Dunwody and Captain Wm. A. Wilkins will be the most dlstln gulsbed of Georgians In the parade of Monday at Jameetown, riding aa ape. clal escorts of tho president of the United States. This la tbe eecond time that Cap tain Jeff Dunwody hae occupied thla position of honor. Ho was assigned to this duty during the president’s via- It to Atlanta two years ago, and Mr. Roosevelt was ao much pleased with the-personality of bis Oeorg|a kips- man that the governor very tactfully renews hla appointment to special service, and adds to It another presl dentlal kinsman of tho same name from Brunswick. And these, with Captain Wilkins, of Waynesboro, one of Georgia'! best, will make up the three Georgians who will be most responsible for the safe ty and comfort of the state's Illus trious guest ou the 10th of June. Meanwhile, The New York World re main* entirely unanswered In its great question "what Is a Democrat?" Since there seems to be no answer to the queetlon "what I* a Democrat?" let ue now propound an even tougher conun drum: "What Is a Republican?" The new women are (toasting that their sex ruled .ancient Japan. The claim ia unfortunate. Ancient Japan waa trivial and unimportant. To score a point the women must establish their sovereignty In modern Japan. The rumor that a circus Is to be es tablished where tbe home of Dowle stood I* a pleasing Indication of a de sire to preserve the traditions of the place. The titeet remedy for appendicitis la to walk on all-fours for a half an hour each day. We presume that the principle Is that by the time some of our fat friends are through with the remedy. It will make appendicitis ap. pear a minor complaint. We commend to our Texas “Nature Fakers” the subject of ‘‘rats." The de partment of agriculture has declared that rM* eat one hundred million ff.d- lars' worth of food every year, and the Tuberculosis Society baa develop ed the fact that a single tuberculosis germ will kill a white rat In 36 hours, whereas a gray rat can eat a teacup full of It a day without any sign of discomfort daring the remainder of his life. LET TEE PEOPLE ELECT. Am the matter Approaches to a Anal consideration The Georgian once more expresses the hope that no policy of the municipal legislature will seek to abridge tho rights of the people to choose their officers. That there has been such a tendency In our municipal governments for some time Is plainly evident, and the time to enter protest Is now. The Georgian has been the first to voice a dissent to the propofied transfer of the city engineer and the commissioner of public works from a popular election to an election by council. That proteat was ably and elaborately seconded by the representor tlvee of organised labor who make up a vast proportion of the popula tion of Atlanta. The argument published In Tuesday's Georgian from the committee ■of organised labor protesting against this change was able, exhaustive and convincing. It Is a notable fact that not content with the protest against the withdrawal of the popular right to elect these two offleera, the committee of labor went further and asked for the restoration of the city comptroller, clerk,of council and general manager of the water work* back to the ballots of the people rather than to the choice of a limited number sitting In the common council. And for this they gave strong and convincing reasons. The Georgian Is convinced that there la a tendency here In high places and In low places which ought to bo promptly met and rebuked. There Is an all too prevalent disposition to exhibit n distrust of the wis dom and prudence of the people In popular election*, and to transfer their rights to the organized and controlling few. We believe that the city government of Atlanta la as good a place as any to Illustrate the popular protest against these changes. Tbero never was a people better equipped for an Intelligent choice of their own offleera and for an Intelligent administration of government through carefully chosen representatives than the people of Atlanta. Time was, and It wa* a good time, when many of the officers now chosen by council were elect ed directly by the people, and this power reverted to the people as the re sult of a protest against the trading and combinations that were made possible by the smaller bodies having these things In charge. Little by little this popular right has been diminished every year until now the city engineer and the commissioner of public works alone re main as the directly elected officers of this municipality. We are thoroughly convinced that If the sentiment of tho majority of the peoplo of Atlanta be consulted that these officers will not only re main ns the creatures of a popular vote, but that other city officers will be given back onco more Into the hands of the people who have demon strated their capacity to elect them. tot us vocallzo the protest against centralising power in our own im mediate locality before we begin to complain of It elsewhere. GOVERNOR TERRELL'S FAREWELL. The banquet to Governor Terrell at the Piedmont waa all and porhapi more than Its friends expected. In numbort, In heartiness and In easy good will, It waa a tribute which any man In public or In private might cherish to the end of his life. Few men In public life In Georgia have more richly deserved friends than Governor Terrell. Hods himself always and under all circumstances a loyal'frlend, nnd such men deserve In turn loyal friends and usually have them. The tributes paid to tho retiring governor of Georgia last night were of n nature and from a source which robs them of the possibility of Insin cerity nnd they crowned the recipient with a tribute as remarkable as It wns appreciated. Tho banquet was perfectly conducted. Chairman Paxon began as ho promised, on tlmo, and the toitmaster call ed the first speaker In full time to have flnlshod by the promised hour of 10:30, If the speakors In turn had done their parts. It does not happen more than once In a life time that a lot of Georgia orators can confine themselves to the tlmo limit Imposed upou them. Only two of the 15-mlnute speakers last night ob served tho limit. Homo of them wpnt 25 minutes, and some 35. Of course this It a contingency which no living program can guard against, but It Is to be hoped that the admirable precedent eet and partially es tablished by tbe schedule of the notable Terrell banquet will be faithful ly followed In subsequent occasions of a similar nature. A CHARLESTON FRIEND OF TAFT. It Is a very significant fact that The Charleston Nowe and Courier appears to bo taking many times as much Interest In the Republican nom inee for president ns In the Democratic nomlnco. It Is equally significant that the bulk of our Charleston contempora ry's concom revolves around Secretary Taft. Wo have shrewdly sus pected for some tlmo that The News and Courier had a more than ordi nary predilection toward tho ponderous secretary of state. Ita lateit expression Is a very ablo and earnest argument to prove that Secretary Taft Is not tho "mo too” of tho president, but that ho confines bla loyalty to tho faithful Riving of advice and assistance to the Roosevelt adminis tration which doea not Involve obedience to dictation. Our contempo rary give* many Instancea to establish this fact and carries Its partiality to tho limit of suggesting that Roosevelt la far more Influenced by Taft than Taft la by Roosevelt. At the rate of Republican progress which the Charleston paper Is making, we ahull uot bo startled out of our serenity by a suggestion from that quarter that Senator Tillman ought to nominate Taft. Let It come. Thla Is an era of agitation and every man haa a right to his opinions and his preferences, and tho Intimate fraternal relations between South Garollna's groat newspaper and Its equally great senator will ijoubtleas give to the suggestion an enormous weight THE FIFTH REGIMENT GOES. lion voyage to tho Fifth Regiment of Georgia. The Georgian salutes tho Fifth as with unfixed bayonets and folded knapsacks It depart* today for Its post of honor In the presidential pa rade at the Jamestown fair. The Georgian has don* Its best for tho Fifth and rejoiced In the op portunity to have given ita editorial and Its local columns to the move ment to express tho city’s appreciation and regard. We arc quite sure that the Fifth will make a gallant appearance In the magnificent military array at tbe Virginia fair. It has done so wher ever Its gallant colonel has led It In the pnYados and bivouacs of the last decade, and we feel sure that no laurel of tho volunteer military of Geor gia will be lost In the bearing and accomplishments of the flower of our Georgia soldiery. 1 THE GEORGIA RAILWAY AND ELECTRIC CO.’S TAXES. The cheerful acceptance by the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany of the comptroller's valuation of Its properties will be commended by tho state, and the fact that the corporation will now pay Into tho treas ury of the state an amount In taxes In full proportion to Its value. Is not likely to lessen tho good will which the corporation has been winning In these recent weeks. There are few things which give greater satisfaction to tho peoplo than tho knowledge that a great and wealthy corporation Is uot shirking Its proportion of taxes tor tbe general expenses of the government.

ERROR WA8 MADE IN NAME; GENERAL RUQER, NOT HUGER. To the Editor of The Georgian: In the Issue of your paper of June 4. . noticed a telegram announcing tbe deuth of General Thomas II. Huger, l’lease per inft me to correet the error In the imiuo. It should tie Huger, .not Huger, as tlie print has made It. General Huger came to Mil Icdgovllle about 1*67, and was there as th* military governor In 1861, before and at the time of the election of 1868. when the emnu elpated and recently enfranchised slavot Aral voted. General Gordon nnd lion. Hu fus I*. Bullock were the cnudldntes for rovernor. Tho election was carried on fot lire** days, and Hufns H. Ilullock was de lated as elected, thm * rcmnrked and believe*! that ed In,” more thsn "elected, ernl Gordon wns "counted out" more than "defeated." The white voters were then disfranchised, while the slaves were but re* crntly enfranchised by the reconstruction ‘ ‘ fill ted States congress. to Georgia ue measures of the tutted Htnt< General Huger wns sent the military governor. It was when Gov ernor Charles J. Jetiklus wns serving his term ss governor under the constitution of 1S65. which was the constitution of Geor gia. adopted very soon nfter the Civil war. ,’ovcrnor Jenkins wns deposed by General Huger. Detnaud wns made on Governor Jenkins to deliver the great seal of the ite of Georgia to the military governor, nernl Huger. Governor Jenkins refuse*! comply with such a demand, and he car ried away with him the seal. It was never use*! by the military governor, nor b one under his command, and the stn.. |*ers of that period beer the Impressions of nn Improvised seal prepare*! then tinder military orders. Tbe original ami genuine _ nl waa restore*! when tbe proper civil authority of the state was restored. Some erestfn . of the state was ng state history belongs to that period, but I will uot now go Into tho ape* elflc details of matters. I ouly started to II of the name being Huger, and not Hn* gor. This Inst name. Huger, pronounced "llujeo," wns a name of n distinguished family, and eminent men of tbnt family In Month Carolina, uud perhaps the telei rdltor ha*l that name In hla mind w was revolving tho dispatch about Geuernl Huger. Guo of the Unger boys, of South Caro^ Him. was our comrade In the cadets of th<> Georgia Military Institute In 1864 nnd 1865. General Huger ns military governor was ceoded by Governor- Hufns It. Hulloek, o recently died lit New York state. In • same election of Governor Bullock, . voting occurred which changed the state pltol from Mlllcdgevflfe to Atlanta.

NOTABLE EVENT IN METHODISM Great Wesley Memorial En terprise To Be Given Forward Move ment. Final details for ths appearance of the seven bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church in Atlanta pulpits on Sunday, June 1*. at which time the great Wesley Memorial enterprise!! will be officially launched, have been worked out. This promises to be one of the most notable evente In the' history of Meth odism In Oeorgla, and the morning and evening services in the various Meth odist churches of the city, together with the great mass meeting In Wesley Me morial at 4 o'clock In the afternoon, will be attended by very large congrega tions. While these modern branches of In stitutional church work are to be lo cated In buildings erected In Atlanta, occupying the present site of the Wes ley Memorial church at ths corner of Auburn avenue and Ivy street, tho Wes ley Memorial enterprises are In every way a etate proposition, embracing the Indorsement and hearty co-operation of both the North and South Oeorgla con ferences. Many Visitors Coming. To this end arrangements have been made for accommodating and enter taining many and prominent Metho dists from all parts of the state. Spe cial railroad rates for the week-end apply, and the absolute success of both the great movement and the making of Sunday. June 1*, a red-letter day In Georgia, are now assured. Not only has every arrangement been perfected, but quite enough acceptances of Invi tations have already been received by th members of the several committees In charge to make certain the fact that 60000000000COtWOOOOOOOOOOO O ASSIGNMENT OF BISHOPS. o, ■ — O Morning service. 11 o'clock. 0 Trinity—Bishop C.

Next to the coming of all the mem bers of the college of bishops. Interest has been centered In the assignment of these different eminent divines to the many churches In the Atlanta district. The most notable meeting of the entire day will be the afternoon service held t Weslev .Memorial church at 4 ./clock. Th!a will be a great mass meeting, and all of the bishops and dis tinguished visiting divines will take part In the services. As the Wesley Memorial enterprise haa the distinction of being the only great movement of the kind ever launched and officially Indorsed by gathering of all tho bishops of the col lege, this service Is certain to play an Important part in the future history of Methodism In Georgia. The bringing together of these bishops in Atlanta for this occasion is without a prece dent, and the very fact that they each nnd every one gladly volunteered to defer every other engagement Is prac tlcal nnd positive proof that they con alder It the most important movement that is now before the entire Methodist Episcopal church at large In all Geore gin, or the entire South, for that mat ter. From the assignment of the seven bishops, together with Dr. J. C. Kllgo. the president of Trinity College, North Carolina, nnd Dr. J. E. Dickey, presl* dent of Emory College, It will be seen that very many of the Atlanta Meth odist churches will be filled with speak ers of national and International repu tatlon. TWO GEORGIANS IN CENTER OF WAR ON WHITE PLAGUE Dr. George Browu and Nathan fitrnua, _ Georgian and an ex-Georgian, are two of the central figures In the great crusade htch Is being waged all over the country ■gnlust tuoerculoals and for the supplying or puro milk to tho poor.
