United States Senator C. B. Culber
son writes the Confederate Veteran his
thanks for copies of the magazine with
sketch and picture of John Pelham.
"The Gallant Pelham," the South's
famous artillerist, stating: "By the
way, while everybody calls Pelham
major, the official records show that
General Lee wrote a letter to President
Davis aftor Pelham's death, recom
mending that, notwithstanding his
.death, he should be made lieutenant
colonel, and puriuant to this recom
mendation President Davis sent his
name to the senate, and he was con
firmed as lloutonant colonel of artil
lery. This, to my mind, under all the
circumstances," says Senator Culber
son, “la the most remarkable honor
conferred upon any mnn during the
Civil war."

American belle of tbo half cea-
"THE ROOSEVELT OP DEMOCRACY.”
In that essential element of ag-grestlve force which has made thfl
president both famous and effective, the chief. If not the only Democratic
counterpart. Is the governor-elect of Georgia.
There are many fine and able gentlemen in tbe front rank of our
Democracy. Thero are statesmen and thinkers, orators and diplomats,
politicians and publicists In overflowing store. Thero aro many who would
shine In senates, scintillate in congresses and be wise In counsel.
But there Is only one In all our rank who looms Rooseveltlan In the
realm of force.
The cry of every troubled time Is for the man of force. Whether in
war or politics, In revolution or In economlo storm, the heart of the peo
ple goes out to the strong man. And neither eloquence nor counsel, neither
experience nor political diplomacy will satisfy the peoplo who are look
ing for strength.
Hoke Smith's election in Georgia was the response of the people to
tbo need of a strong man in the era of economic crises—la the struggle
against tltantlc Influences which bad heretofore been all powerful to con
trol.
In the public concept it was no time for children, and above Intel
lect and above courage, and above popularity it was the breathing
suggestion of power In the personality of the man, which swept
tho ballots of Georgia Into the mightiest majority of Its modern
history. There was something physically and temperamentally mas
sive and big about the governor-elect which answered the yearn
ing In the people. Hoke Smith loomed like a locomotive on tbe track of
tho public needs, and thundered like an engine down the highway of pub
lic opinion. There was no suggestion of the hand-car or the accommoda-.
tlon train about him. Ho was a Baldwin locomotive ready for the through
lines and the heavy freights—at cheaper rates.
It Is Just so nationally. The governor-elect has Impressed the coun
try as he Impressed the state. There Is something In the grasp of his
strong hand upon affairs which fills the national as welt as the local need.
It is that same firm, big touch which made this provincial lawyer the won
der of Cleveland's sablnet In the Instant and comprehensive vigor of his ad
ministration of that most complicated of all government'departments—the
Interior.
No man who has ever seen Hoke Smith or who has come In con
tact with him physically or in the forum or on the hidings has failed
to recelvo the Impress of that great quality of force which makes tho lead
er of men and the master of revolutions.
It Is In this element and equipment that the governor-elect of Geor
gia is superior In our Judgment to all other men who have been listed
from the Democratic rank to assume the reins of government In these mo
mentous times. He is the only counterpart The Georgian knows In
either party to that great and all conquering personality that holds tho
helm of state today. He la ths only man In 'public life outside of Roose
velt who has the qualities, rugged yet discreet, powerful yet polite, who
can hold the Arm hand between factions and administer the government
In fearless and Impartial strength.
Lacking only the position, tbe prestige, the band-upon-the-machlnery
and the enemy-iipon-the-run—Hoke Smith could be what Roosevelt la—the
master of the situation, the strong man for the troubled time.
Hoko Smith In Roosevelt's shoes would be not unequal to Roosevelt
In the Issues of today.
And this Idea Is growing In the state and In the republic.
How, then, If we Democrats aro to put our fortunes once more to tho
touch of the battle against the great president or tbe wearer of his party
tnantlo— If we are to measure strength In 1908 against the administration
which has pleased tho people—bow can we better appeal to the
masses than In the person and prestige of the nearest man In nil our ranks
to the man In the White House who has caught tho country's confidence?
If we are not willing to combine In an "era of good feeling" upon
the one man whom we trust and like, then In the name of all discretion,
let us appeal to the country In a Democratic Roosevelt who will carry
thp suggestion of the strong man to tho ballots of the people.
Tho temperamental kinship of Hoke Smith to Theodoro Roosevelt of
fers tho best hopo of Democratic success In the campaign of 1908.
WHAT THE AUDITORIUM IS FOR.
The plans of Bruce & Morgan have been submitted to the committee
appointed on the building of tbe Auditorium-Armory and are now under
consideration.
Tho ability of the architects and the watchfulness of the committee
are both conceded nnd the best results aro hoped for.
It Is not untimely, however, to renew onco more the primal consider-
ntlon which should abide In tho minds of both the architects and tho com
mittee until this great enterprise is finished.
Tbo Qeorglau Is perfectly willing to be regarded at a nuisance In this
matter, and Is equally willing to weary by reiteration when there Is good
to bo accomplished. The Auditorium Is "a place to hear In." Wo have
said this a hundred times before, and It Is quite likely that we shall say It
a hundred times again. All the stately sweep of architecture, the curvet
and arches of tho architect, tho entrances, the exits, tho warmth and the
ventilation, tho comfort of the seats and tho light that falls on stage and
audience aro matters worthy of serious consideration, but over all and sub
ordinating all other considerations Is the greet central necessity that the
people can hear what Is said or sung or played In the Auditorium-Armory.
If this Is not accomplished, the work of the architect Is a failure; It
this Is not accomplished, the work of t\}o committee Is a failure.
No repute cau come to either architect or commlttea If the acoustics
of this hall are Imperfect and unsatisfactory.
It will bo too late to euro the defect when the hall Is finished. The
whole genluB of the architect and the whole energy and care of the com
mittee should be concentrated upon this point We do not have and
have nevor bad any doubt as to the perfection of the other arrangements.
Tbo other considerations are easy to accomplish. One has only to go
to other halls In other cities to duplicate exactly their best conveniences
for comfort nnd convenience.
nut acoustics Is an eluslvo science and requires the best skill and
the subtlest Ingenuity of all who are Interested.
Once more The Georgian Is willing ttf weary the architects and the
committee with a new and emphatic Injunction to study tho question of
acoustics day and night.
We may say for our own comfort and the comfort of those who real
ise the necessity of hearing as we do. that our Auditorium-Armory Is mod
eled pretty closely after the line* of the great Kansas City auditorium
which la a model both of convenience and acoustics.
Out of this fact we derive large hope that we shall be able to attain
our desires In a hall of admirable hearing qualities.
But we shall not fear to repeat the plea for this quality In this crisis
while the plans are approaching completion.
No city In the world needs a hall of perfect acoustics more than
Atlanta. Our state capitol Is a failure In thla respect. Neither the hall
of tbo bouse nor the senate chamber are suited to any public meeting by
reaaon of poor acoustics. Every good speaker Is marred and his best ef
forts are lost In tkeso Unfortunate halls. Dr. Broughton's present Taber
nacle Is the beat hall for hearing given up to public occasions In the city,
and If our great Auditorium-Armory provea a failure wo are Indeed unfor
tunate.
Once more we say to the committee and to the architect that all the
triumph of their skill must converge to this point, for if tbe Auditorium-
Armory la not a place In which we can hear it may as well not have been
“NO OUT IT OUT” FOR GEORGIA.
Tho editor of The Georgian, Just returned from the East, desires to
I add his testimony to that of the governor of Georgia that there was not
I la tact or In suggestion any foundation for tbo statement that the pres!-,
i dent at Jamestown suggested any curtailment of the program or was
i guilty of the slightest possible discourtesy to Georgia or to the humblest
I Georgian who was there.
Tho only curtailment of the program In any sense was not wrought at
tho central exercises of the day upon tbe reviewing stand when tho presi
dent spoke, but was the very discreet and thoroughly Justified action of
the governor of Georgia at the reception tendered the president In tho
Georgia building when Governor Terrell himself led the way to brevity by
greatly curtailing his own speech and leaving out some of those who were
to follow him.
The great amount of time consumed In the 'military parade render
ed this necessary, and the governor's discretion In the matter was com
mended by all who were Interested In Georgia day. So far as the editor
of The Georgian was concerned, he wag not a part of the program, either
suggestively or expectantly, and It was therefore out 'of. the question
that any slight. If there had been one, could have reflected itself upon
him. , ,
We make tjjta statement purely In Justice to Governor Terrell, whoso
entire conduct In all the matters relating to Georgia day met with the full
approval of the ladles and gentlemen of the state who were present
The president from first to last was the essence of amiability, hearti
ness and good nature to everybody from Georgia and to everybody else
on the grounds.
• GENEROSITY AT THE GRAND.
It Is a source of congratulation that the Fawcett Stock company, now
playing a summer season at the Grand theater, should display that mag
nanimity In yielding this large auditorium to the president of the Georgia
School of Technology for Thursday evening In order that the graduating
exercises might be held there.
It has long been the custom for the theater to be utilized for this pur
pose. Last week President Matheson, of the Tech, went to the man
agement of the Grand and asked for the rental of the theater on Thursday-
evening. He was Informed that the house had been leased for tho sum
mer season to tho Fawcett Stock Company, which was presenting a new
production there each week. —
It was pointed out that to lay the company off tor a single night
would entail the loss of a night's receipts and In addition the expense of
the company would continue that night the same as usual.
Henry. DeGlve sent for Allen Fawcett, the manager of tpe company,
and Introduced him to the head of the Tech, after which the situation
was explained.
Mr. Fawcett at once tendered him the use of tho Grand for that night,
stating that ho would be glad to lay his company off for the evening In or
der to help out an Institution which Is doing so much for ths youth of the
South.
The offor was accepted and the Tech graduation takes placo there
Thursday evening with the members of tho Fawcett Stock Company
appearing across the footlights as spectators and not as perfornlera. With
thla concession there Is entailed a monetary Iosb of several hundred dol
lars to the organisation which Is equivalent to a donation of Just this much
to Georgia's great Institution of learning.
The act of Mr. Fawcett should not go unnoticed or unappreciated by
the friends and patrons of this school, for whom ho has thus graciously In
convenienced himself In order that he might please them.

ft VERM PUMP
Heated Words Follow Dis
cussion in the Water
Board.
The expert employed to pass on the
efficacy of a centrifugal pump fop tho
needs of the waterworks has recom
mended that the vertical pump, manu
factured by tho Holly Manufacturing
Compnny, be bought, stating that the
centrifugal pump with the turbine is
more or less an experiment and Its pur.
chase would be hazardous.
The Investigation grew out of the
two bids for Installing pumps at the
Atlanta waterworks. The bid of the
Southern Hydraulic Engineering Cotiw-
pany, George F. Hurt, president, was
about 890,000, about 870,000 less than
the vertical pump bid.
There seemed considerable doubt In
the Joint committee as to whether or
rot the centrifugal pump would answer
the purpose, and finally a sub-commlt.
tee on pumps was appointed and Dab
ney H. Maury, nn expert from Peoria,
III., was engaged.
The sub-poinmtttec mot Tuesday aft
ernoon at 8 o'clock, and the report of
the expert, recommending the purchase
of the vertical pump, was read. Frank
P. Rice, Alderman F. A. Qullllun and
Councilman W. A. Hancock were pres,
ent. Aldermen E, C. Peters and W. S.
Duncan were absent. No definite action
will ba taken until Alderman Peters
has read the report.
The meeting Tuesday afternoon was
considerably enlivened by a skirmish
of heated words fought out between
Alderman Qullllan and Mr. Rice, presi
dent of the water board. With the re
port of the expert were eeveral letters
from Mr. Hurt to the board and copies
of letters sent by him to the expert, In
which lie said he did not think the In
vestigation was being made thorough
enough.
Mr. Rice did not like the tone of Mr.
Hurt'e letters. Mr. Qullllan did not
like the tone of Mr. Rice's remarks.
Then Mr. Rice did not like the tone of
Mr. Qulllian's rejoinder. Mr. Qullllan
did not Intend to hurt Mr. Rice's feel
ings, nor did Mr. Rice Intend to hurt
Mr. Qullllan’s feelings, and the meeting
resumed the even tenor of Its way.

SHERIFF TO APPEAL
FOR NEGRO'S PARDON
Should the pardon board look with
favor upon tho affidavits of witnesses
to Will Johnson's confession, which will
be presented that body Thursday, Will
Branham, the negro who la serving a
term of forty years In the penitentiary
for the attack upon the Misses Law
rence last . August, will be a free man.
Thursday afternoon.
The affidavits setting forth the fact
that Johnson confessed to the crime for
which Branham Is being punished will
be presented to the pardon board by
Sheriff Nelms, who will himself make a
plea Tor Branham's pardon.
Solicitor Charlie D. Hill, of the supe
rior court, who prosecuted Branham,
will also appear before the pardon
board and urge that the negro be par
doned. Both Solicitor Hill and Sheriff
Nelms are convinced that Branham Is
Innocent and It Is believed that the par
don board will not hesitate to set him
free.
1 believe Branham Is Innocent and
that he should be given his liberty.”
said Sheriff Nelms Wednesday, "and I
do not think there Is any doubt as to
what action the pardon board will take
Thursday.”

While tfie next legislative race Is still
somewhat In the dim and Indistinct
futurity and while prognostications as
to prospective candidates are rather
premature, political circles are never
theless agog with talk of who will and
who will not be In the race.
At the present time It appears that
the legal profession In Atlanta will be
practically abandoned, while a number
of leading attorneys seek the legisla
tive plum. Whether this fact may be
taken as an Indication that better moral
conditions are prevailing In Fulton
county, thus forcing the lawyers to seek
other fields, la a question yet unsolved,
but there Is the greatest probability
that at least eight attorneys will be In
the race In the fall of 19(18.
Those whose nnmes have been men
tioned In connection with the race for
the legislature are: Robert R. Shrop
shire, Lamar Hill, Lee Langley, E. F.
Childress and Walter 81ms. Should
those gentlemen enter the race and
should the present Incumbents. Repre
sentatives Slaton, Blackburn and Bel’
also announce again there will bo eight
attorneys In tho field.
Attorney Langley Is the only one of
the number mentioned who has defi
nitely nnnounced his candidacy. Attor
ney Childress, It Is said, will be a can
didate, although he Jias not yet an
nounced. Although Colonel Shropshire
Is non-committal, his friends declare
that he will be In the race. Attorneys
Hill nnd Sims are still on the fence, but
It Is thought probable that they will
announce their candidacy later.
Judged from a distance, the race
promises to be the warmest which this
section of the state has seen In many
years.

Norfolk, Va., June 19.—Great surprise
was caused by the announcement after

last night, that a second mortgage on

ecuted to sdcure another loan, «nd that
W. E. Cottrell, governor of works, had
resigned. ’ The Issuance of 8700.000
more bonds, In addition to the 8100,000
Issue of a few weeks ago, which It was
announced would supply all the money
that the exposition needed, had not
even been hinted at before.
