I ') J 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. Dayton, Ohio, August 1, 1907. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. 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. DR. 3. W. HURT 8AY8 ' 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 that man has reached hln highest state of perfection with hln present environ ment, and that whisky has stopped hit e rogress, thwnrted the will of Ood. 1 nlleve we ore the people of God and that He ts willing and anxious to do for us In Hln good time and pleasure, and that He In now directing this cause of temperance to lead ua out of the low grounds of sorrow, sin and misery, but that If we lend a deaf ear to the groans, cries snd lamentations of the wives, mothers anil children that are now go ing up all over the country, He will 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. A new star haa appeared on the horlton and tho entire nation It turn ing their eyes upon It and wondering from whence It came, and will soon be remarking about her luster. Her name ts Georgia, snd she will soon set the isce and Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala- iama, the Carolines, Florida, Missis, tlppl, Louisiana and Texas will set our good work and fallow suit. The time Is coming, and not far distant, when the United States will be dry. Then the millennium will come and not until then. Our criminal courts will work half time, crime will be reduced, mad houses will stop building and man hood and womanhood will go on to perfection, socially, morally and physi cally. and In less than a hundred years we will have a God-loving and God fearing people, and Chrlat will come again to own and bless us and future generations will rise un and call us blesseST J.

MRS. LOUISE CROSSLET. WORK OF A YOUNG GIRL. To the Editor of The Georgian: The Inclosed verses, "Anchorage,” are clipped from The Summerville (S. C.)

C„ for the best poem, which was published In The Concept, the college magazine. These lines took the prize, and aa they appear to be of unusual merit especially for oae so young, I thought I would pass them along to you for republicatlon. Yours very truly, H. D.

Oh. song of the sea, I hear you— Your voice still calls my soul Back to tho wind-washed benches.
