SHALL THIS BE PATE OF THE GALLANT OLD "TEXAS?”
So the old ‘Texas" must be thrown In tho scrap pile, her driving
wheels tor# from her trucks, her throttle melted Into a piece of pig
Iron!
Tho "General,” stolen by Union raiders and used to destroy the
track through Georgia, has a place of honor In the union station at
Chattanooga. The "General" Is shown to every tourist, and the story
of the raid Is told, again and again. Thero's even a book, prettily il
lustrated, telling of the dash of the old engine.
But how about tho “Texas?" It was the “Texas" that ran down the
“General." and the “Texas" was manned by good Georgians, too. Cap
tain \V. A. Fuller, who died In Atlanta two years ago, was In charge
that day. and Anthony Murphy and Peter Bracken and Fleming Cox and
Alonxo Martin were the men who stood by him. Should tho vanquished
be crowned with laurels, while the victor Is torn to pieces and cast
aside? *
No such sentiment about an old locojnotlve, you say? There wasn’t
much sentiment about the old frigato Constitution, but when tho govern
ment wss about to dismantle the old hulk which had been the beginning
of free America's navy, Oliver Wendell Holmes woke tho nation to a
touch of sentiment that saved tho ship. “Old Ironsldos” floats today,
honored by every loyal American, saluted by every passing ship of tbe
line. «
Sentiment about an engine? Ask tho men who have grown old with
them. Ask M. L. Collier, now master mechanic of the road, who has
grown old with the "Texas,” who loves every bit of brass and steel from
smokestack to truck. There Is a catch In bis voice as he speaks of
dismantling her.
, It will not require a large expenditure to save hor. A few hun
dred dollars will purchaso the battered old engine at tho price of scrap
Iron. A small sum will give her a now coat of paint,, restore tho old
smokestack and the otd-fastitoned cowcatcher, and place her upon a stone
base In some prominent spot. Tho capitol grounds would perhaps be
the best place, for the engine means something to all Georgia.
The people of Georgia should buy tho “Texas." That doesn't mean
one or two wealthy men, but the general public, the mon who work, the
children who lovo tho stories of tbo great conflict of forty years ago.
The price of the "Texas” should come In dollars,' quarters and dimes—
from rich and poor alike.
Atlanta has few monuments, though the city and the state are rich
In memories of great men and gallant deeds. The battered old "Texay
with a tablet bearing a brief story of the chase of the Andrews raiders,
would bo a fitting monument to tho brave men of Georgia who worked
undaunted In the face of obstacles and who did' the thing they started out
to do—their duty. It would tell tho story of those troublous times
when Georgia was torn by strife, a day as far removed from these days
of smiling ; eace as Is the ancient ‘‘Texas'’ from the giant locomotive of
today,
Shall the "Texas” go to the smelting furnace, to bo cast Into some
Ignoble form, or shall the old engine which has done Its duty for forty
years bo given rest at last, rest In a place of honor, where Its story
may be told to generations yet to come?
Let Georgia men and women and children answer.
THE ANTI-PASS BILL.
Without tho least desire to suggest to legislators how they should
vote or 'think, Tho Georgian wishes to ask them If It would not be wiser
and safer to pass a bill that really restricts the giving of passes by
railroads than a bill like that being offered by one of tbe members
which makes ondless exceptions possible and would render the law
meaningless In Its elasticity and Ineffectual?
The Georgian has believed from the beginning that It could not
consistently criticise the railroads and have a free pass In its pocket,
and wo bellovo any newspaper or individual who proclaims with voice
or pen ono policy and practices another will fall to ring true In what
he says or writes.
The Georgian, you may have noticed, has not gone wild and frothed
at the mouth about the railroads—tho fellows who aro riding on free
passes are looking after that, and nro hiding behind the noise they make.
Wo wouldn't have any railroads In a few weeks If anybody took them
seriously. We won't have any railroad legislation, either, .unless they
take themselves more seriously and shut off the hot air.
Thero Is no reason why any one should bo allowed a pass, not even
tho railroad employee unless traveling on his company’s business. Does
the grocer supply his clorks with free provisions? Does our merchant
clothe his men and their families In addition to thetr pay? Does the
telephone company supply Its employees with phones? Is there any
good reason why each member of our city council, or any other city of
ficial who will take It, should produce a neat little book ot passes on the
street car the morning after his election?
No—certainly not It Is bribery pure and simple, and since our good
state provides sufficiently for all the expense to which her lawmakers
aro put, In the namo of God pass a law that will forever stop this form
of Influence, and pasB ono that Is so tight that there can be no excep
tions. The railroads are only reaping the reward of their unmerciful
methods under laws made and unmade by their own "tools,” and now
that the public conscience Is speaking, remedy the evils that exist In a
conservative, dignified manner, but do It so It will mean something.
DON’T MAKE ANY EXCEPTIONS—LET’8 ALL PAY OUR FARE.
OUB FRIENDS THE ANTIS.
(EctHortnt Correspondence The Georgian.)
Georgia's prohibition act has beyond 'all question created^ a sensa
tion of national and even of-International proportions.
Not only In tho columns of the dally papers, chronicled as news,
and on tbo lips of public men commenting on current events, but among
the people ot all classes, commercial. Industrial and religious—on the
streets, in the shops, about tho lobbies, and around furnaco and forgo
and loom, It Is, In tho middle states, tho topic of earnest and Interested
discussion as to Its significance and Its effect throughout tbo country.
That tt has set the states to thinking Is putting It mildly.
That Georgia, a Southern state—tho Empire Southern state—should
havo gouo dry, not hnlf-heartodly, not by local option, but In a sweeping
statutory act of stato prohibition, has simply amazed thezo states which
have tor fifty years been accustomed to look upon the Southerner as a
gallant, roystorlng gentleman, neve to be divorced from liquor.
Tho suggestion ot temperance, continence, virtue and sacri
fice Involved In tho act has revolutionized In a night much of the er
roneous concoptlon which has prevailed In regard to Southern character.
Two views embody tho general run of outside opinion.
First, the act indicates a mighty change In Southern sentiment. Il
lustrates In vivid colors the general spirit of uplift and reform that Is
abroad all over the land, and Is Inevitably to be followed by other
states of tho South and of tho West. It It succeeds and the act Is en
forced, thoughtful men believe that It will Inspire a general emulation.
Even here In Ohio where local option is carried to Its legitimate
conclusion, and any ward or precinct, and even any street can vote
liquor Into traffic against the overwhelming sentiment ot Its environ
ment—hero In Ohio, strong men arc saying that if Georgia can have
state prohibition. It Is both possible and desirable to replace local op
tion In Ohio with the Georgia law.
Tho second view Is the almost universal expression that the ban
ishment of liquor has taken much of the sting out of the race problem,
and wrap-, the South In a promise of freedom from tho lawless crimes
of negroes Inflamed by mean whisky and poisonous cocaine. It Is re
ceived a» a guarantee of racial tranquillity and an assurance that the
South It safo and Inviting to people of every section, who have been ac
customed to steer clear of the shadow of Africa.
But the whole republic Is talking about Georgia, and nine-tenths ot
the republic Is applauding the courage and virtue ot the Empire State.
But I did not start out to write ot these Impressions.
1 left home yesterday tn a state of serious consideration for the
many reputable cltixcns of Atlanta who will unquestionably suffer seri
ous loss In the act over which our great majority Is now rejoicing.
These men were our friends. They were—the majority ot them—by all
the standards, except the nature of their business, among the sound and
sterling citizens of Atlanta. Their business wss wrong, and they were
mistaken In following It to Inevitable disaster. But we have no basis on
which to Impugn their motives, and.we cannot fall to applaud the spirit
of their unfailing cooperation with all public enterprises and the strong
part many of them have played In the building of the city.
It seems to me that we who have won the moral battle of the
Georgia century should go out to heal the financial wounds we have
been forced to make, and to win Invaluable recruits to tho great cause
that Is now established for a perpetual reign In Georgia.
Let us help to show these loyal Atlantans that they can prosper In
Atlantis without tho. sale of liquor. Let us encourage them to believe
that they can give tbelr talents and energies to a better calling. Let us
help to persuade them that they need not leavo Atlanta to recoup their
fortunes.
This question now Is settled for all time or for a long period of years.
Georgia Is permanently a prohibition state. However tbe cities may re
pent and change, this great honest country Georgia outside, will never
vote back liquor Into the commonwealth. We need have no fear.
We can now afford ‘without apprehension to hold up the hands of our
mistaken neighbors and friends and to help them to aB great a prog,
perlty In other lines as they once enjoyed in tbelr mistaken trade.
Let us make good and prosperous prohibitionists of every one of
them.
Here in cold water let us pledge the sentiment of peace and help
fulness and prosperity.

HADDOCK INN—PRINCELY GIFT OF A NOBLE GEORGIAN.
Surely, when a noble-hearted Georgian Is holding In his hand the
offer of a princely gift, he ought to find some one to accept It grate
fully and helpfully in his own state.
Mr. E. P. Simpson, of Toccoa, Ga., formulates In The Georgian to
day his plan for giving the beautiful Haddock Inn with five hundred
acreB of land. Including the half of Toccoa Falls, to .the mountain youth
of Georgia.
Tho gift stands for $75,000. It Is between one-thtrd and one-half
of the total fortune of the noble-hearted citizen who makes the offer.
Nothing more generous tn view of all the conditions has over been
given by a Georgian to tho cause of education. Nothing more attract
ive to tho philanthropist who wishes to do good has been offered than
the opportunity to co-operate with Mr. Simpson’s splendid philanthropy
and to make it good.
We commend to those who are living generous lives and helpful
Uvea In this big and generous world, to read the noble and Intelligent
offer of this big brained and big hearted Georgian, and we earnestly In
voke from all whose minds are turned to the welfare of tho youth of
Georgia, and more particularly of that droat and Interesting company of
the young men and young women of tho mountains, a sympathy which
shall become practical through helpfulness.
If you who read this beautiful story, so simply and so practically
told, have not the money In your own pockets to render effective this
noble gift, let The Georgian ask you to herald It among those whom you
know who might be moved to take it In hand and carry It to a noble
and beneficent success.
The conditions which Mr. SimpBon puts upon his splendid gift are
absolutely unselfish and are born of tho clear-headed and practical mind
of the donor himself.
Mr. Simpson makes this donation as the expression of the living In
terest of himself and his noble wife In tho young women and' young
men of the mountain region In which they live. He has donated a tract
princely In beauty and formed by nature and Providence for tho work to
which be desires to consecrate It. The building Is ample and beauti
ful. The surroundings are Ideal In health, In salubrity and in grandour
of scene. '
We print today the pictures which give In faint outline, at least, the
surroundings of this new and noble gift to the highest philanthropy of
the future.
Any man or any woman of noble sympathy and of kindly mind will
write either to The Georgian or to Mr. E. P. Simpson, of Toccoa, and
recelvo such other Information as may make clear all the details to
the mind. x
But Mr. SlmpBon's letter, which appears elsewhere In this Issue of
The Georgian, Is In itself so full, so clear, so simple and so practical,
and withal so modest In Its unostentatious nobility, that we do not seo
that anything can be added by newspaper or by evangel to the Inspiring
invitation which it makes to philanthropy either In the individual or In
the state.
Read the letter which explains It all.

ENFORCE THE LAW.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Now that the prohibition light Is
over, I wish to congratulate you upon
the position you have taken and the
fairness with which you have treated
the opposition. I accord to every mon
the right of this great American peo
ple to veto as he pleases, but tho man
that falls to see the evil of whisky and
votes for the manufacture and sale of
It, has my sympathy. Now that It has
become a law, let all Of us be a self-
appointed committee of the whole and
nee that the law Is enforced. No law
Is effective unless enforced and no law
is rigidly enforced unless the people
are In sympathy with the low. I con
sider this ono of the best laws ever
enacted for the general good of hu
manity, no I, for one, an an humble cit
izen of thin commonwealth, am willing
to put forth all my energies for a rigid
enforcement of the name. I believe

of perfection with hln present environ
ment, and that whisky has stopped hit

grounds of sorrow, sin and misery, but
that If we lend a deaf ear to the groans,

hold us responsible and In a day and
hour we think net of. He will turn His
wrath upon us and consume ua, and we,
like others, will go down In history as a
nation that obeyed not the voice of God.

Oh. song of the sea, I hear you—
Your voice still calls my soul

And the long white glare that shows

Chalk-ribbed as the trodden snow.
