Nevertheless and notwithstand ing, John Temple Graves has never Intimated that Roosevelt’s strength In the 8outh wen such that he might even carry this section of the country sgelnst the sslntsd Jefferson Davis.— Houston Pott. The Houston paragrapber occa sionally flings us one that we can't answer, and we pass this on. Mr. Taft's Idea Is that Roose velt's undying glory will be the breaking ot the solid South. Still, Col. John Temple Graves Isn't the whole solid South.—Balti more Sun. We mutt protest also that he Is not yet altogether "broke." That Is rather a delicate word to use In con nection with a newspaper man. and we trust the esteemed Bun will be careful. Was ever such contrast pre sented as that of the urbanely conservative Mr. Hearst at Jamestown, and tbe obstreper ously Iconoclastic Mr. Roose velt at Provtncetown?—News and Courier.

The city of New York, the metropolis of the country, Is awake to the ravages of the Great White Plaguo, and Is moving with commend able seal and energy to combat It. g The health department of New York IS making sustained and vigor ous war against the malady, and tbe general Interest has been aroused to sctlre co-eperaflon. Two-third# of the fight against tuberculosis must be levelled against the spread of the dleeaae. The chief horror of the plague is the Increas ing number of Its victims. Tuberculosis destroys every yepr more lives than were lost to any year of tbe Civil war, and more than were lost on the field In the entire four years ot the war, And yet we who became hysterical ovor the advent of a pass of yel< low fever or smallpox or cholera, regard with Indlfferenoo tho destroy ing sweep of this disease. In fighting tuberculosis the entire hopO of success rests to the intel ligent and complete cooperation of the cltltens—the people for whoso protection the war Is waged. - The New York health department has published the following In itfuctlon card whleh Is as appllcabblt to Atlanta as to the metropolis: To avoid consumption: * Don't live, study, or sleep to rooms where there Is no fresh air. ‘ . Don't live In dusty air. Get rid of dust by mopping w.llh damp cloths. Don't sweep with S dry broom. Keep one window partly open In your bed-room at night 4tld air the room two or three times a day. Don't eat with soiled hands. Wash them first. Don't put hands or pencils to mouth or any candy or chew ing gum other persons have used. Don't keep soiled handkerchiefs to your pocket Take a warm hath at least once a week. To those who have contracted consumption: Don't waste your money On patent medicines. If you go to a doctor In tlhio you can be cured. Don't drink whisky or any other form of liquor. Don't sleep to the same bod with any one else, and, If pos sible, not In the same room. ^ Good food, fresh air and rest are the Best cures. Keep In tho sunlight as much as possible. Keep your windows open winter and summer, day and night. The careful and clean consumptive Is not dangerous to those with whom he lives and works. The following rule la enjoined on even healthy peraoae, and they are asked to observe It: Don't spit on sidewalks, floors or hallways. There Is little excuse for the spread of consumption In this country. With an Intelligent people and wise physicians, tho way of avoidance Is made plain, and the way of standard remedy Is pointed out to every victim. If the brief but comprehensive, formula of the New York health de partment could be borne to the mind of every gentleman and every citizen, and the unselfish consideration which It teaches could be put to general practice, there would be noted an Immediate effect upon the frightful list of victims of the Great White Plague. It Is only by constant remlndor, line upon line and precept upon prpeept, that tho people can bo educated to aelf-protectten and to com mon humanity In thla tremendous matter. REMORSELESS RETALIATION OF THE RAILROADS. The railroads are not likely to win much sympathy from the people by their cry of oppression In the reduction of tho passenger rate, when they recoup themselvea so remorselessly In ths matter of freight rates. The commission had scarcely Issued Its edict reducing the passenger rate to the. states of Georgia and North Carolina before the railroads held a conference and advanced their freight rates, and especially the freight upon coal In thla Inordinate aeason, to such sn extent to Inter state hauling that the Increase In the freight rate largely compensates the railroads for any loss In the paaaenger rates. So that Instead of wasting any crocodile tears over tho supposed In convenience that has been laid upon the- corporations to the matter of passenger travel, It might be Just as well to extend a little sympathy to tho "down-trodden people" who are paying the freight at advanced' rates on commodities necessary to this season of the year. - The railroads have evidently learned something from John D. Rocke feller and hla philanthropies, which are so promptly repaid by an ad vance In tbe price of oil. And meanwhile the state and the Interstate commission may well take Into consideration the manner to which the great freight lines are Increasing rather tban decreasing tho rates of carriage tn'thls period ot reform. It becomes evident that In order to hold, our own with the railroads we will be compelled to watch them all the time. A GREAT SCHOOL’S OVERFLOW. To the Editor of The Georgian: We desire public announcement that there Is no more room for new students at the Georgia Normal and Industrial College unto January. From necosslty the doors of the college are closed to all fu ture applications thla fall. No student should come to the col lege unless sho bus received a certificate of admission signed by the president. Wo will have 600 students this fall and already we have been forced to refuse admission to 283 because ot a lack of room. Very truly yours. Sept. t. 1007. M. M. PARKS, President Tho brief announcement published above tells Its own story, the great Girls' School at Milledgevllle advertises Itself—Its loving friends, too, advertise It. It Is the Institution which has evoked from educators, state and national, tho tribute of being the model schools ot Its kind In the country, and It needs no announcement to fill Ha rolls to overflowing. Tbe moral to Georgia In this brief announcement Is to provide a place for her young women who are seeking the superb advantages which the Milledgevllle school has to offer. , No daughter of the state should be turned back from an educational door at which she knocks for admittance. Meanwhile we congratulate President Parks upon the great success which lays Georgia under obligations to his talents and his energies and we commend' the method and the spirit of the Milledgevllle school to every educational Institution In tho state. THE PRESS POTENT ONLY WHEN RIGHT. Tbe dally papers of this state, with the notable exception of The Atlanta Georgian and News, which ardontly advocated state prohibition, opposed with all their might the passage of the Hardman-Covlngton bill. A rather suggestive Indication, at the result shows that the dally press Is not, after all, where mor al reforms are on, such a forceful agency In tho formation and guidance of public sentiment as some rather fervid orators and florid writers have been wont to make them. Tbe weekly secular press of the state, so far as our obser vation goes, wore for the moat part advocates of the enactment of the state prohibition law. Whether this Is due to the nearer contact of tho weekly press with the majority ot the people, or whether these editors of the weekly papers have beard more au dibly and more wisely heeded the demand of the majority of the white people ot Georgia, we do not now discuss. Certain It Is. somebody had their ear to the ground and were not.mistaken In the sound of the people’s firm and determined tread toward the - triumph of one moral reform. It results measure power at work, the passage of ths prohibition bill can be taken aa a hopeful measurement of the force of tbe weekly press In sustaining and directing public sentiment on great questions of the people’s bet terment.—Christian Advocate. The Georgian has always coupled with a proper sense ot the power of the press, and a fervent appreciation of Its responsibility, the full rec ognition of the fact that the newspaper Is only a mighty force when It ta right. v ' Time was when tbe mere facta of publicity, tbe wholesale access to tbe public ear. and the opportunity tor the ‘last word," were sufficient to carry great causes, and to correct great abuses. Not so to this greater and wiser day. It Is a different people to whom the newspapers come today. They have advanced. They read; they think; they moralise; they have their own convictions; and they hold steadfast to their opinions unless the reasons are sound and strong which seek to change them. Tbe fallacious newspaper or tbs corrupt editor can no more sway the people now than the unscrupulous demagogue, or the sophistical poli tician. The people have outgrown the demagogue and the trickster In the sanctum aqd on the hustings. It Is ohly the sincere and sound newspaper which qohtrols public opinion today. ! « Meanwhile it glveB The Georgian, as usual, great pleasure to print that portion ot The Advocate’s comment which, pays tribute to the country press, and to share with our brethren of tbe Interior whatever newapaper laurels may have been won In tbe recent prohibition fight iMHlIMIlHlHIMMIMlflHtlltMIHttiMII • MIlilOIMHItlMAHHtMMHMMHMMI Learning About South America.

The crl*p red leave* were flying wild ly from the straining branches of the old beech trees In the September gale as Carl Mueller wind hie young wife drove along the winding avenue on the evening of their home-coming to The Hollow. Since their arrival at Cleveland Mueller had observed a change grad ually stealing over Sylvia's face; and, although he knew very well what her thoughts were as they drove along the wild road, he r.fralnsd from touching on the subject, hoping, perhaps, that the sight of her new home would dis tract somewhat ms wife's gloomy medi tations. In this hope, however, he was dis appointed: A* the carriage turned the Inn sweep of the long drive and the ancient mansion came In sight, with Its steep roofs and Ivied walls cur tained with tbs gray-blue veil of twi light, Sylvia Mueller turned almost a shrinking glance upon the picture re- venled, nnd the pallor of her face hnd become startling. "I fesr you must be very tired, dar ling, after the long journey,' 'her hus band said, watching her intently a* he spoke. "Yes, Carl, I do feel tired," She paused for a moment or two. hesitated, then said hurriedly, as If unable to re strain the words: "AVe should have remained abroad, Carl. We should have been happier there. The associations of this place are well nigh unbearable!" Her voice failed her and she com pressed her lips and with difficulty, as he plainly saw, suppressed an outburst of tears. A Hush of annoyance, or some deeper feeling, suffused Mueller’s face. It was the Drst time since their marrlace that Sylvia had referred directly to her life's great sorrow. During tho months they had spent abroad she had kept her thoughts to herself upon that one sub Ject, and her husband had almost per mitted himself to Indulge In the exul tant hope thnt his cherished dream was about to be realized, nnd that Sylvia was at last finding In his love and pro tection some salve for the Irreparable past. Yet now, at the very moment of be holding her new home, Sylvia's Impul sive words hnd revealed the true feel ing* of her heart, and he felt thnt his hopes were dashed to the earth once more. "Does It not strike you. Sylvia, as being needlessly unkind to select this precise moment for such an outburst ?-' he said, wlt)i a quiver In his voice and a darker flush In his cheek*. "I re member very well, of course.” he went on rapidly, aa If anticipating his wife's thoughts, "that you prepared me for all this before nur marriage, and that, strictly speaking.
