Honor to a Good Man. In the struggle for the success of prohibition which has been waged for many years Ih Georgia, few men have striven harder for the noble cause than Hon. J. I.. D. Hlllyer. In season and out of season he tiaa done his utmost to place before his fellow citi zens the horrors of tho liquor traffic, and the necessity for prohibition legis lation. Mr. Hlllyer has diligently studied the problem!, appertaining to the tem- 1 ternnec question, and he has sought for the best legislative solution of these problems, lie has never been a candidate foq political office, so that no suggestion of personal Interest can be ascribed to his work. Mr. Hlllyer has had no political as pirations, yet he has been In active politics without reward or hope there of ever since reaching his majority In 1868—when the fearful reconstruc tion period required every Southern mnn should do his duly. With the sole object of rendering service to hla state and community, Mr. Hlllyer has un ceasingly labored, and, now, tho years of duty which he and others of the faithful have contributed to the cause, are about to be crowned with the tri umph of the prohibition legislation. The ^Moultrie Observer wonders "If the new silver service was Injured by the explosion on the battleship Geor gia." If the Standard Oil Company has to pay $29,000,000 In lines, the recoil will be felt severely at the University of Chicago.—Philadelphia Inquirer. "The time to regulate has come,'* says the president. And Roosevelt's Infallible Regulator Is the medicine prescribed.—Washington Herald. The Georgia railroads Bay they are threatened with bankruptcy. Bays The Brunswick News. Their Hnanclal state ments do not show any such trouble. A man In Toronto was sent to jail for assaulting a baseball umpire. An other outrage on the Bacred liberty and privileges of the individual citizen. The Brunswick News Is moved to re mark that "that dark horse of Henry Watterson's seems to have caused a case of kicking in all quarters of the Democracy.’’ The news that a train In Iowa was held up by mosquitoes Is a sorry com ment on the premature rejoicing over the resources of the age to compsss their extermination. -Editor Brown, of The Dalnbridge Democrat, puta this leading question: "Did -you ever notice that the fellow who had to be paid to be good never earns bis salary?" In many sections of the state peo ple are learning to drink water so that when state prohibition goes Into effect they will be accustomed to the thing and we are glad to see it.—Batnbridge Democrat. That old law, that the Interstate commission has dug up, provides for punishing Haryiman by a fine and "Imprisonment for not less than six months." Make it life, says the Bt. Paul Dispatch. HOW A SOUTHERN CANDIDATE LOOKS TO THE NORTH. (Editorial Correspondence., Every hour of reflection and every day of contact with men north of the Ohio river confirm my belief that If the Democracy Is to nominate a candidate and conduct a national campaign, Its wisest course would be to name a Southern man and to place him upon a platform of definite Democracy, I have talked with scores of prominent men, and of men less promi nent, In' Ohio and New York—men In control of the machinery, and men In the quiet ranks of commerce or agriculture—and with one accord they ex press wonder at the hesitation of the South in presenting Its great men for the chief magistracy. For five years past this has been the tenor of Northern and Central and Western comment, and It Is heartier today than I have ever known It before. These men say that the South depreciates Its own position In the re public—that the war Is over, and that the entire North Is so anxious lu every way to proclaim to the world the wholesome fact of the reunited country, that a Southern candidate would actually poll more than a party strength In the section which was victorious. They recall that Grover Cleveland told Hoke Smith nearly twenty years ago that In the adminis tration of the Interior, no consideration of his section should deter him from the reform of pensions or the appointment of the best men to office. They recall the Spanlsh-Amerlcan war In which the South’s loyalty to the government had a proportionately greater numerical expression than the North. They remember the spectacle of old Joe Wheeler, of Confederate memories, leading the Union army down the slopes of San Juan. They do not forget the picture of Fltzhugh Leo In Cuba, with a staff which In cluded a grandson of Lincoln and a grandson of Grant. They have had their legs under the hospitable mahogany of the South, and they have not failed to note that the South Is so far above the narrowness of partisan ship as to receive with Interest and with large approval a proposition to bury partlcB for a season In an era of good feeling, and revive patriotism and the republic. Just rely upon It that the Southern candidate Is the cue of the Democ racy next year. Even If he lost he would not be defeated any more sig nally than Bryan and Parker were, and If the race did no more It would break the apprehension that the South la Ineligible, and open the way to the Southern candidate In succeeding campaigns. Even so stalwart a paper as The Chicago Journal says that there is no reason why the South should not furnish a hopeful candidate for either party In 1908. The Journal declares with great generosity that there are "perhaps more men In the South capable of filling the executive office with credit than there are In the North, because Southerners are people of reading, education and thought, and Inherit statesmanship In their traditions.’’ The Boston Herald, that great independent paper of the East, does not hesitate to express the belief that the time has come for a Southern can didate. For my own part. I believe the announcement of a strong, progressive Southern man would be magical in Its effect at this time. It would en thuse the country In an "era of good feeling" of a different type from the Chattanooga suggestion, but the next best thing to It. I honestly and deliberately state the belief that the nomination of a Southern man Is the very best, If not the only hope of the Democratic par ty for success in the next campaign. Let us see. fn sixty years no Southern Democrat has been elected to tho presidency. It Is forty-seven years since the South has presented a candidate for that high office. McClellan, Seymour, Greeley, Tllden, Hancock, Clevelnnd, Bryan nnd Parker were all from the North or West. The South has 23,000,000 citizens, and has furnished the votes which have kept the Democratic party alive. After following for forty years candi dates nominated by Northern Democrats, and save only In two Instances following them to defeat, we would like to have a sensible reason against the nomination next year of a Southern man. The war la over and the whole country wishes It known. The North ern mnsses are full of fraternal feeling toward the South, and the North-' era politicians cannot eradicate that feeling now by sectional appeals. We have ti»e men to offer from almost every state—Hoke Smith, of Georgia; Culberson, of Texas; Cormnck, of Tennessee; Daniel and Caper- ton Broxton, of Virginia; Aycoek, of North Carolina; Raynor, of Maryland; Rose, of Arkansas, and Williams, of Mississippi—all men high In repute throughout the country and able to the limit of presidential capacity; If there Is a chance anywhere for Democracy next year It is In a' Southern candidate. If we cannot have an "era of good feeling" among parties, then let us utilize the great spirit of the time, and Invoke an era of sectional good will by offering a Southern leader to the party of the people. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. Columbus, Ohio, July 19, 1907. WM. E. GAUNT DECLARES PROHIBITION WON’T HURT ATLANTA REALTY VALUES To the Editor of The Georgian: Will you allow a real estate man a few word*, briefly touching three polnta on tbe financial slue of tbe liquor question, as this seems the chief, and, I may gay, the only foundation upon which It draws out its mis erable existence? 1.

What is the result? You and I have to pay not only our legitimate profit to the .werchaut, but also -the principal and profit of the men who can not pay. Prohibition will let these men pay their p- their bills. portion, allow the merchant 'to reduce hla price to all, and still wake a fair profit Wmzelf. This item alone wil more than offset the bugaboo of Increased taxation. Mr, Renter, this affects you, for you surely pay tbe taxes on the property you occupy when you pay your rent. 3. Flour Is 52 n barrel higher than a short time ago. Why? Short supply, lake away from the brewer and distiller the grain that they rot to make the stuff that damns, nnd put It into the flour mills, and there would bo enough for every little hungry child In all (he wide world, and flour could be sold nt tbe old price, for the supply would equal the demand. You must pay for whit you get. Out of which pock et will you take It?

And finally, through the loaa of tbe latter's soul eter nally, for “no drunkard shall enter the king dom of heaven.” Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars revenue back out of $2,600,- 000 expended.

I can scarce refrnln from expression the higher and moral planes, but have taken up too much space. Koine time may be required for readjustment, but Atlanta, lustde of two years from the adoption of the prohibition law (despite the cnlamtiy howlers, nnd they are the chief menace) will enjoy n greater prosperity than ever would lmve been possible under the existing high license regime, and it will be pros perity founded on the rocks of Justice, righteousness and brotherly love.

To the Editor of The Georgian: A newspaper editor has requested me to write you as to the beneficial results of prohibition III the city of Charlotte, nnd I hand you herewith booklet showing what the lending business men, bankers, fanners, laborers end others say. The substance Prohibition went Into effect on January 1st, 1906, In the - majority against the saloons was 486. The election took pluce recorder's court shows that tbe total numlter of arrests for mh. the last year whisky was sold, was 2,406 nnd during the year of 1906, the first year prohibition went Into effect, 1,496, a decrease of 909 arrests the first year prohibition went Into effect. I hare lived In the city since 1872. I have known the city from a small village till now. when It In one of the finest industrial and educational centers In this section of the South, hnvl In Charlotte from history of Chn On the 20th of May, 1906, there was a great iten.

Iu one county, Gaston, twenty-five years ago there were about three cotton mills nnd about forty-eight distilleries nnd many saloons; but today In Gaston county there are fifty cotton nulls In operation, and about ten In construction, and not a legalized distillery or saloon In tbe county.^ Just recently. In Ltncolnton, where the prohibition law has been enforced, thert* was a gathering of some twenty thousand people at a Fourth of July celebration, nnd the papers commented on the fact thnt never was such a sober and orderly crowd gathered In Lincoln county. I write from long ‘ my opinion thnt proh A HIGHER STANDARD OP SUCCESS. There are many hopeful Indications that public sentiment regarding what constitutes success and failure la adjusting Itself along higher and better llnea. The pendulum which regulates the machinery of human achievement haa begun to awing tmekward In Its Inevitable action. In several of the current magazines tbe question of “Success and Failure" Is discussed from a most encouraging viewpoint. The standards of other nnd leas commercial days are again being set up before the eyes of the youth of the country, and the Ideals of bygono years are commend ed for Imitation and emulation. In writing of this subject In tho August number of Uncle Remus's Mag azine The Farmer says: "According to modern standards, tho success or failure of a man de pends altogether on his ability—It ability can have so poor n rating—to make money and hoard’ It, to gamble with the resources of the people, and to make great donla whereby millions qt human beings are made to suffer, while perhaps not more than ten men reap all the profits. This Is the modern measure of success, . . . Real success means the benefit of hu manity In aonie form or other. If no such benefits can be shown as the result of their labors, their success Is not equal to that achieved by the direst poverty and the deepest Ignorance. . . . There can be no form of real success that does not bring some sort of old nnd comfort to humanity, that does not make |>eople a little happier, a little more con tented than they were before; that does not uplift. In some sort, the soul, which the German professor could not find In his cadavers, and that does not bring Joy and content from the shallow well of life.” By a singular literary coincidence, the above sentiments so won- drously well expressed by The Farmer In the latest issue of Uncle Remus, also And similar expression In other publications of note, just published. These views of Individual writers are creating a change In public senti ment which perhaps may bring about a revolution In estimating the re sults of human endeavor, and human achievement. The honorable accumulation of money Is ever and always to be com mended. Its possession brings not only the opportunity to gratify the * better aspirations and ambitions, but It also brings the ability to con tribute toward the amelioration of suffering and tbe relief of poverty. But simply estimated according to Its Ignoble purchasing power, mon ey becomes no longer a thidg to be desired or to be striven for. The recent years with their garish display of vulgar wealth have established certain standards hitherto unfamiliar In the South, and certainly unworthy of the nobler traditions of Its people. But the pendulum of public senti ment has begun Its backward swing, and no more positive evidence Is giv en this tact than the simultaneous discussion of such matters In several of the most notable mngaslnea of current Issue. Owen Wlster In his exquisite literary masterpiece, "Lady Baltimore," perhaps unconsciously assisted In the the Inauguration of this revolution of public sentiment. In "Lady Baltimore" all the beautiful Ideals which regulated Southern social life In bygone years are, with the pen of sympathetic genius, made to stand out In so delicate and delightful a fashion that the reading world of necessity compared the worthiness of such a past with the garish folly of these present days. From Owen Wlster’s story, the question has grown to be one of Inijiortance with the strongest writers of todgy. This hopeful agitation must result In nobler standards of every day living and in a Juster estimate of what.constitutes success and failure. THE BANKERS AND “1909;" OTHER PEOPLE AND SALOONS To the Editor of The Georgian: I notice thnt the bnnkera of Atlanta are (tagging for more time—one year longer than contemplated hy our bill. I am surprized at thla. It zeetn* to me, almost of nil men, they would be the lAst to make such a re quest. Can’t our fine business men—our sagacious money kings of the city—see thnt tbe longer the saloon runs, the more money «uen will spend for rum, nnd the lest they will spend (for they will not have It to spend) for hats, shoes, drr goods-nud gro- banks.

In your remarkable resolutions In which you vigorously contend for auditoriums, ar mories, engine houses, waterworks and school buildings, nnd the saloon meu, you haven’t made n single legitimate argument. You hove not one thought of the mother’s liquor dealers till January 1st, 1908, to get rid of this vile stuff. I doubt If this is quite fair to the two and one-half million of Georgians. It is a stretch of mercy. It Is leaning toward the bar-kecitcra of this state who hnve killed their thousands. And now for the five months to come. Think of It!

You do not know me personally, but I want to express my profoundest ap preciation of you, your splendid paper and Its matchless editor for the work you are doing for the gryat masses of Georgia and the South In' the present prohibition fight. For ten years I have considered John Temple Graves the most brilliant man, the most magnifi cent editor and one- of the cleanest private citizens of this commonwealth; and to find him at last asaoclated with a man of such convictions, conscience and capital as you have, makes my heart double-quick for Joy and all there Is within me to strike up a paen of praise. When Mr, Graves started The News I was among the first to sub scribe. When he left It, so did I. have followed him through The Geor gian and now that I begin to know his associate. I pledge a perpetual sub scription as long as either or all of us live. Most sincerely, C. A. RIDLEY. Live Oak, Fla. SOUTH GEORGIA WANTS IT. Please Bend me your paper for three months. 1 see It Is strongly for pro hlbltlon, and that ts what we want In all south Georgia. Also we want state prohibition. I shall endeavor to se cure readers for your paper. We think It Is right; In fact, 127 counties of Georgia say so. Respectfully. M. F. TIMMERMAN. Stockton, Ga. NOT f"ofT SALE. Allow me to congratulate you that the trend of events has brought you to face the proposition of principles as against commercialism. Before the Civil war, a‘business house of national reputation had cause to make the declaration that "their goods but not their principles were for sale.” While they lost heavily In one direction, they gained In another, and eventually be came a very wealthy house. You have now declared that "your goods but not your principles are for sale,” and now It Is up to the people of the state who profess prohibition to favor that paper that represents and battles for the homes of our women and children—to say nothing about civic righteousness. JOHN B. STEVENS. Fitzgerald, Ga. PEOPLE AReT"rE8PONDING. I thank God for one newspaper In the state of Georgia that Is wise to see what Is best for the people and has the courage to stand by It, even, If need be, at Its own peril.

Being a native Georgian and a sub scriber and reader, by choice, of The Georgian, I am naturally much Inter ested In the prohibition contest now before the legislature. I can not, therefore, refrain from writing a word of commendation for the noble and courageous, as well as righteous stand, your paper has taken on the prohibi tion question. Should prohibition car ry In Georgia, I shall be prouder than ever of the grand old state of my na tivity. It Is fitting that the Empire State of the South should take the lead In this movement; other states will surely follow.

How ever, I appreciate your position on the prohibition question so much I can not longer do without The Georgian. Wish ing you success, yours respectfully, W. J. BANKSTON. Jenklnsburg, Ga. COMPENSATION ENOUGH. The manly stand taken by The Geor gian on the temperance question Is a refreshing oasis In the great desert of a purchasable picss. It will no doubt result In financial loss to you, but a good conscience Is worth more than dollars, and In the assurance that you are serving others, tnen of your caliber find some compensation for financial loss. Very truly yours, W. W. TURNER. LaGrange, Ga. FROM ONEWHO KNOW8. I confess to neglect of duty In falling to congratulate you for the strong stand you have taken In behalf of right, eousness. This was not a small mat ter for a great dally, but it was right, and the people In the future will thank you, when they see the happy fruits, more thnn they know how now. It is lamentable that there nre those in our large cities who are willing to debauch the people for dollars. What Is money when measured by tears and wrecked lives and homes? That It will Injure the business of the cities, I deny, but If It does, better this than worse. When we first had prohi bition In Bartow there was a hot cam paign. It was defiantly asserted that it would kill Cartersvllle. A good woman. long gone to her reward, re plied: "Well, If she dies, I want her to die sober." So mote It be! Have the tax-payers of our cities considered the big saving In Jail and court expenses—one great and legiti mate result of prohibition? But It tires me to set money over against live*. I do not hesitate to assert that In ntne out of every ten criminal cases In the city court of Carteravllle, whisky i nnrtos J. MUD, nssisiniu ' First Lieutenant iioyd L.

Soon after The Georgian was -stab llshcd I quit taking The Atlanta Jour nal and subscribed for The Georgian- The reason I did this was on account nr the high moral plain on which launched your paper, your refusing to take whisky or any other fake advertis ing.
