We call attention to a communica tion on thla page with regard to the apparently unjust discrimination In the rate* of fare on tho River and Marietta electric car Unci. It la from a well-known cltlien of one of the contmunltle* affected,-who believes ha voices the sentiment of a great ma jority of the people living along the River line. Wo havo no doubt he docs. and. aa The Georgian heretofore has had occasion to show, the hard ship of the condition complained Rgntnit la real, and the remedy sug gested sorely needed. Moreover It ap pears to he w«ll. within the bounds of reason and good business for tho Georgia Railway and Klectrlc Com pany to grant the reduction, and there Is strong hope that the Immediate fu ture will *wltneas the Inauguration of a S-cent rate, with transfer privileges, such as enjoyed by the residents along the East Point and College Park, the Decatur and other lines. Though The Georgian has no suggestion from Presi dent Arkwright upon which to base the belief, It feels ressonably sure he Is giving the matter the full considera tion It deserves, and. furthermore, that he Is Inclined toward grunting tho re lief asked for, If the proposition can be worked mil along business lines. It must lie admitted that this phase of It Is not without Its complications, when the operation of the Marietta line by the same company Is eonsld- erco. - The people living along the River line are of moderate circumstances— many of them mill operatives. Twen ty cents for the round trip to Atlanta cuts a decided hale Into the modest contents of their pocket-book, and the merchant* of Atlanta would be hatter off If these people could come and go for 10 cent*.' * ; I An Explanation.

BURTON SMITH. Atlanta, Go, October 4. BUSINESS OUTLOOK NEVER BETTER. It Is helpful and timely to call the attention of the public at frequent Intervals to the unmistakable business prosperity which prevails In almost every section of the country at present. For week, the calamity howler has made himself a menacing factor by dally prophecies of dire disaster portending In the various lines of commercial Interest and of Industrial development. If a financial panic could have been precipitated by depressing prog nostications from n number of disgruntled railway officials and Wall street speculators, the country would now be In its throes with business of evefy kind at a tragic standstill. Fortunately the much-needed regulation of corporation* by national and state laws bas had a beneficial effect upon general business condi tion*, which will become more and more apparent as time goes on. In the terse language of President Roosevelt In bis speech at Cairo, III., on Thursday, the present situation Is presented with force and clearness, when he said: I do not belt.ve that our efforts will have anything but a beneficial effect upon the permanent prosperity of the country; and, as a matter of fact, even as regards any temporary effect, I think that any troublo Is due fundamentally not to the fact that the nations! authorities have discovered and corrected cer tain abuses, but to the fact that those abuses were there to be dis covered. I think that the excellent people who have complained of our policy as hurting business have shown much the same spirit as the child who regards the dentist and not the ulcerated tooth as the real source ot his woe. There can bo but little doubt that tho entire country—save the cor porations which are being regulated—Is beginning to agree with the pres ident. Business statistics preclude all doubt as to the general prosperity which exists In every section. On of the most significant evidences of the splendid commercial and industrial conditions of tho country Is tho week ly reports frbm the various railways, which show most substantial and remarkable gains each week over corresponding weeks of the previous year. This applies not only to Northern railroads, but to almost every railway In the South, and In the face of reduced freight and passenger rates, brought sbuot by certain legal regulations. Outside of New York city the bank clearings have shown wonderful gains during the summer over the summer of 1906, which was regarded as a season of high records. There Is work for everybody, nnd good wages for the man who doe* his work wall. At no period have the laboring classes been better paid than at present, and no man need remain idle who desires honest employment. The great masses of the people are content and hopeful, because they are better fed. better clothed and better boused than at any other time in the past. That a few exceedingly rich men, whoxe wealth has been accumu lated by questionable processes, have had that wealth partly destroyed by an exposure of their financial methods, matters but little to the average cltlien, who And* plenty to do along legitimate Unea, and good pay for doing It. The business of the country has become a matter of such tremendous magnitude that the discordant walls of a few speculators and railway officials signify, little or nothing to the people at large. Ae long os the weekly reports of railway gains over the previous year continue to be published the pessimism of railway officials will only excite the humor of the average cltxen. The prosperity of the country Is assured and will continue to Increase aa long as the present remarkable business conditions exist. The calamity howler has been made Ineffective and Impotent by the marvelous growth and Increased prosperity in every line ot legitimate endeavor. Good times are unmistakably here, and here to stay, regardless of the strenuous ef forts of speculators and railroad officials to precipitate a panic. THE COMING OF THE SPINNERS. The members of the International Cottoa Conference which will be held In Atlanta during the coming week will meet with a welcome worthy of the proverbial hospitality of the South. Representing, as these men do, the great cotton manufacturing Interests of the world, they will be given every opportunity to meet, to know and to appreciate the men who grow tho staple which constitutes the basis of their vast enterprises. Tho approaching cotton conference will In all probability Inaugu rate a policy which will place a future limit upon the disastrous specu lative methods of bulls and bears, and which will establish forever his rightful pedestal King Cotton, with all hli old-time glory, augment ed by the tremendous development of Southern Industries. Atlanta will tender a royal welcome to her guests. Storea, business bouses and hotels wit] flaunt gaily In the autumn sunshine hundreds of yards of multi-colored bunting, and latch keys will hang on the outside of Allan- , ta’s front doors. Aa automobile ride through the principal streets of the city will be One of tho most Interesting features of the entertainment being planned for the cotton growers, spinners and manufacturers. For several days the cotton growers and the cotton manufacturers will hold heart-to-heart talks and Initiate policies helpful alike to the men who control tho spindles of the world and to the men who plant nnd harvest tho cotton of a thousand fields. Thore will bo small excuse In the future for divergent Interests among cotton grower* and cotton spinners. Their work necessarily lies along parallel lines and whaiover makes for the good of one class of workers must benefit and Improve tho condition ot the other. Atlanta stands ready to do her part toward bringing about the In auguration of a policy of mutual Interest between tho cotton growers and spinners which will signify more for the future welfare ot the South than nny great movement ot recent years. REAL RADICAL PROHIBITION. If any man doubts that the temperance people of this Country are In dead earnest In their crusade against Intoxicants, they need only to look to Indiana. Ilchohl the spectacle! Charles W. Fairbanks, vice president of the United States and candidate for president fn the next campaign, an offi cer In high standing In the Methodlat Episcopal church, has been flatly refused an election a* a lay delegate to the general Methodist Episcopal conference which meets In Baltimore In May. And, mark you, tho basts of tho vice president's defeat was the mere rumor that at his recent reception given to the president at In dianapolis he had prepared and offered to Mr. Roosevelt a cocktail of the standard brand. The discussion over the vice preildent's name a* candidate to the Baltimore conference wa* vigorous and acrimonloua, and It ao speedily became evident that be would be defeated that after five ballots hla name was withdrawn by the Rev. Joshua Stansflelcl, pastor of the vice president's church in Indianapolis. The spirit of the prohibition people Is even stronger and more pro scriptive In the West than It is In tha South, and It has rarely reached a more radical expression than In the recent Incident revolving around Mr. Fairbanks. Tho vice president Is himself strictly temperate. He doea not touch liquor In any form. He la known throughout the republic aa the "but termilk man." and It really eeems to be carrying things a little too far to have visited such punishment upon an alleged expression ot hospitality which has been standard In the fashionable society of Indiana and the West, but we call attention to the Incident merely to show the scope and character of the fight against Intoxicants In this country. The Atlanta Georgian Is call ing for cheaper telephones, cheaper gas (not hot air), cheap er car fares, to which we add our voice. Atlanta wants 32 car tickets for a dollar. We don't even get 13 In Savannah.—Savan nah Press. Tha only way to get tt.

Growth and Progress’of the New South Tho Georgian hero records each dny ■ome economic /net lu reference to the onward progress of the South. BY JOSEPH B. LIVELY Commercially. the growth of the South nine* the war h** l*qfn marvelous. Small rifles lutve crown Into great main fert tiring centers, studded orltl j buildings that would rival tnose of New York, writes A. W. LMmock In the October Metro politan. Look nt Atlanta, Jacksonville, Memphis—to mention a Muttered few—com pare them with their wealth and site of a few years ago; tell, If you can, how fnr tbelr growth may not fo. These are tho old cities. New ones have been springing np since the war and developing Into rich commercial center*. " The railroad hna played no amnll part In this development, but unless the country hud contained the promise nnd the resources the rntlronds would have been apt to leave It alone, where, uot ao many years ago, there were only a few mile* of rails, nnd a service which made a trip South an uncomfortable proposition, now stretch thousands of miles of road, on which one can fiud the best passenger service. In spite of this, however, the facilities fall short of the demands of the expanding Industries of the South. Last winter many shipper* were delayed for days because they could not get cars, or having cars, could not find train* enough to carry tho»r products. Hpeak to any Southern railroad man, and he will likely tell you that b« Is at his wits' end. Tho railroads are doing n great deal to meet thla constantly increasing de mand. Home of them are doulde-trnckiug tbelr roads. They are ordering new engines, more car*. But all this takes time. Freight accumulates. And In many sections the .South of today suffers from Its very wealth. The comparison socially, too. Is Just ns interesting. Although the “before the war" day* of the large plantations worked by slaves can not bo revived, the social life of tho Month Is again distinctive—somewhat morp democratic—ready to wel come worth shown In any honorable cnase, bat still flinging to Its pride of family* centering itself, where It met year* ago, mixing with the aoclnl life of the North, as that of tha North mlxea with It. UNJUST DISCRIMINATION SHOWN ON RIVER AND MARIETTA LINES To the Editor of the Georgian: want to tell yon how the atreet railway company bas treated onr section of the conn, try. There arc two Hues of atreet railways leaving Chattahoochee river, Imth belonging to the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany. and known as the river line nnd the Marietta line. Each of these lines gets Its power from Bull Sluice. The fare from tha river and Bolton nnd Riverside to Atlanta on the river line Is 10 cents. The fnre on .the Marietta line la 15 cent# from the river and from all ata- Ilona toward Atlanta, until you coaie to Etleu N. The land around this station belong, to Carroll Payne. oue of the direc tor! of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, and you poy 16 cents tare from Ellen N to Atlanta. The Wh! people win ping place . ... one fonrth of u mile north of Hollywood. These mill people pay 5 cent* to Holly- wood, and almost before they can put away their money they are called upon to pay another 6 cents from Hollywood to Attauta. If yon ride on the Marietta car from the river to Howell Htatlon. a distance of about miles, ydu are compelled to pay 15 conts. You pay 15 cent# from Water Works Htatlon and Moores Htatlon to Howells. It Is about 3H miles from Moores Station to Howell# Station, so this Is at a rate of a cents a mile. Is there another road In Georgia that ehnrgei that much? The people who own these two lines hare been given ninny fa vor* by the people of Fulton county, and they, through their friends, have taken ad vantage of these privileges. They use the Fulton county chalngnng to level roads to put down tbelr tracks. They nllow the people of other portions of Fulton county—and DeKalb and Clay ton counties, ns for that—to ride Into the city fnr 6 cents. It Is 6 miles to Decatur, 8 miles to College Purk and 4 miles to Hrookwood. You can ride the 14 miles from College Park to Decatur for 5 cents by getting a transfer. You can not get a transfer on the Marietta line. You pay 15 cents from the river to Atlants and are not allowed to transfer. There Is no trol ley line anywhere else In the country that charges such price*. C. A. HOWELL People and Things Gossip From the Hotels and the 8treat Corners, amount to anything.

"The tribe had Just voted them death by torture when there enmo one of those sudden earthquakes to which the region was subject. The young men on the high rock were thrown clear of the mine and loat no time In running to safety. Tho rest of the people were caught like rate in n trap. The earth quake brought the etdes of the diamond mine dawn upon them. "The head priest, a little ahead of the others, was caught Just outside the mine nnd crushed almost to death by a stray bowlder.

'Then the old priest fell dead. 'Mueller looked at him with horror that Bracebrldge did not understand until later. Then h* realized what the words 'diamonds restored to their places' meant. “One of the object* of worship of the tribe had been a magnificent dia mond necklace. Three of the atones were of especial beauty. The trlbo had not searched Bracebrldge before th* earthquaket or they would have found the necklace upon hla person. "Later Bracebrldge found that three moat valuable diamonds had been re placed by unsightly pebbles. He knew hat Mueller must have don* It.
