Look at Tom Wat son and Tho Constitution for a mil lennial spectacle of peace Many of the Chattanooga factories and enterprises are moving across the lino Into Georgia to get the benefit of lower taxes and better laws. Dut the saloons remain. This la not a divi sion of which Georgia should com plain. The Atlanta Georgian, the ablest and most fearless among the journalistic advocates of the new regime In Georgia politics, scents mischief fn the motley ar ray of ofllco-aeekera created by conditions, and In a recent Issue Bounds a strong and timely warn ing to Its friends. What The Georgian saya sounds strange but rings true.—Monroe Tribune. The spirit of that editorial was not so much a warning against danger as u counsel to prudence and delibera tion. Eventa are moving too rapidly tor men and voters to be committing themselves In advance. It Is wise to wait In a time of rapid change. The editor of The Georgian Is of tho opinion that "the Populists have won. not by direct victory, hut by tho peaceful line of educat ing the Democracy to their views." Of course Mr. Graves, only means by this that the Pop ulists have won the Democratic party; they haven't won any na tional elections yet. even through their conversion of I he Democra cy. There seems to bo enough Democrats of tho old line loft "un educated" to Populist views to make the fusion exceedingly pre carious. We, however, admire Mr. Graves' frankness In stating the condition to which his party has been brought through tho winning eloquence and command ing voice of—which? Mr. Bryan or Tom Watson?—Chattanooga Times. By tho way, to what party does The Chattanooga Times (olong? We “used to know," but we have forgotten. In another column of this pa per we publish In full an edito rial from John Temple Graves, editor of The Atlanta Georgian, urging the people to wait upon political developments before committing their ballota as to measures and men. We publish It because of tho sound, non-partisan sentiment which It expresses. It has always been the Idea of The Union New* that every cltl- yen of tho South should vote, but wn have never believed that any citizen should tie himself hand and foot until every Issue and every plank of every platform had been made perfectly clear. We believe that the people should demand of the candidates running for any given offlee a full and clear discussion of every point of their respective plat forms; these candidstes to meet each other. In public discussion, of the questions at issue, while the people keep their ears open and their tongues silent.—Farm ers’ Union News. President Duckworth and hla fanner friends were the people to whom The Georgian's admo nition was advanced. Every politi cian In the country is after the farm er. Every demagogue la hunting for his votes. The farmer, of all men, ought to go slow and be deliberate and thoughtful and independent in hla THE THRONED HORSE. The horse Is regnant once more for a fleeting day In Georgia. Since the war horse of the Scriptures, "his neck clothed with thunder,” through tho Bucephalus whom Alexander trained down to tho Gray Travel er who shares tho Immortality of Robert Lee. tho horse has been a thing of glory and of honor among mon. Never In bis great career haa he been nearer to eclipse than In this great ago of electric machines and motor cars. The motorcycle and the horseless carriage have made an assault upon the equine reign whoso re sults are yet to be decided. No man can tell the outcome of this electric age. There'was a time twelve years ago when the equine emperor fronted a swift decay. When the bicycle and the electric car lines swept tho movement of men the horse went down to low estate. The best of the race could be bought for a song. The draft horses of Illinois and In diana were selling for $30 a pair, single animals went quickly for a golden 'eagle, and even the thoroughbreds of Kentucky went softly away under the auctioneer's hsmmer for prices so small that the owner felt glad the splendid animals could not realize the Ignominy of their barter. But the horse rallied bravely and came to bis own again. He looked the electric whlzzers In the face and whinnied hla belief that the world was big enough for both of them. His step grew proud again, his prices soared' until he was once more a king In the markets of the race. And he Is still In the mart of transportation glories—going high and strong. His withers are unwrung by shame, and the man wild gets or owns hlht has to' pay the princely price. The first round of the equine battle with the motor car Is up to date a draw. How long we do not know. How firm his hold upon the world of motion no one just now can- say. ' For ourselves, In old-fashioned loyalty we are hla subject yet No rapid whirl of tireless motion, no alr-cuttlng speed, no thump of steam, no glory of mere machinery can disturb our loyalty to tho comradeship, the magnetism that glides along the reins, and to the human touch, of high spirit, of flashing eye and of thrilling vein. . The motorman on an electric car enjoys the same sensation as tho millionaire driving his automobile along the sands. But the pulse that hold* the reins behind a Kentucky thoroughbred Is nearer akin to ecsta sy than any mechanics could create. . , Some day the fever in the vein* of this electric era will be stilled— the mad desire to straddle the lightning and to call for spurs will glvo place to statelier motion and to more majestic line—and on that day the horse will come once more into his royal place. Meanwhile the fashionable whirl revolves around his majesty In At lanta. On Tuesday night the fickle queens of social life, with their escorts and their finery, will forsake the auto, and for a fleeting season bow down Woro the Horse. WHEN BRYAN GOMES TO ATLANTA. In an Interview tho other day Colonel Henry Watterson, of Kentucky, said to Julius Chambers, representing the International News Service; "Party lines have ceased to exist. We must have a new party—a di vision of the people upon other lines. The old parties are dead. Roose velt haa destroyed what was left of the Republican party. Rooseveltlsm Is like Bryanlsm In 1896—like It In many ways. Bryan would havo Mexl- canlzed our currency; Roosevelt’s re-election will Moxlcanlze the stato. If ho Is to be kept In the white house, by all means let It be for life. Make him king! Do more than that—make him emperor!” The colonel then spoko of the hopelessness of Democracy until Wil liam Jennings Bryan is politically dead. "Look at Bryan! For seven years l have boen proving to him why he should not longer disturb the future of the once real party in which I was raised. But I haven’t feazed him. It he is weak today, he Is stronger tomorrow; or vice versa. Ho will not get out of tho way for others. He will ditch the train, it ho can not ride in the box. I hove quit politics forever. I wouldn't go to the convention, state or national. I have been pugnacious, heaven knows, but I’m through with that. I shall becomo, or try to become, an essayist, dealing with the simplici ties of life—tho beatitudes, If you like. No more politics for me.” "Of course, politica ls tho life’s blood of the American newspaper,” ho resumed, after a bit of historical reminiscence. "1 suggested Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, because I know him to bo clean and Intelligent. There are other men quite as sincere, equally honest and surely as capa ble. I am not In favor of anybody. I am told that a Republican evening paper quotes me as saying that 1 never heard of Lewis Stuyvesant Chan- ler. I never uttered Buch a word, because It Is false. I knejv his father. The son comes of fine stock. How would ‘Chanler and Johnson' suit me? Good as any, tf Mr. Bryan could be eliminated. He Is a destroyer of plans and a breaker of image*. I am sick and disgusted with the people of my state; how should I bo expected to take any Interest In the pros pect of carrying New York with n man who has proved his popularity by attaining office when the head of bis own ticket was defeated? No; I am out of politics.” All of which quoting at length from Mr. Watterson Is thoroughly Inconsistent, which Is to say thoroughly consistent with the veteran Ken tucky editor, who has boen on both sides of nearly every question be fore th'e American people—for ami against Bryan, for and against the IxiulsvUle and Nashville railway, for and against Goebel, and for and against the Kentucky constitutional convention. This la evidently not the season of the year in which Colonel Wat terson la for Mr. Bryan. Perhaps as the autumn passes Into winter hla mood may change, and the Nebraskan may have hti support for a time. The first sentences of Mr. Watterson’s Interview read exactly like the Chattanooga speech, which he and others criticised vigorously at the time. If ever there was a time for the people to express their will freely, and to put their consciences Into their ballots, the time Is at hand. The man who wins In the next elections, slate and national, should win on his merits and services, and not on the vociferous lung power In which he proclaims his loyalty to party. Mr. Bryan is coming to Atlanta within the week. We do not need to reiterate a respect for him which has lived and spoken when some of hla present time-servers were depreciating hla fame and alighting hla serv ices. But we go far enough with Colonel Watterson to think that Mr. Bry an ought to declare himself. He can have the nomination If he wants It. If he does not want it, he should not defer saying so, until his party Is rushed Into a precipitate nomination at the last moment. Mr. Bryan can afford to be definite. He is great enough and strong enough to say now what he Is going to do. We trust he will tell us In Atlanta. Growth and Progress of the New South The Georgian here records each day BY JOSEPH B.

Including pumps and engines for lifting the neces sary quantities of water to supply - the canals. Is comprised In two cross-compound condensing engines driving two Winch double-suction centrifugal pumps, the com plete units being built by the Allls-Clmlmera Company, of Milwaukee. Finch of the new pumping unit* will have a normal capacity of 60,500,000 gal lons per twenty-four hours, working sgalust a 3S-fo»t bead with steam at a pressure of 15>» p4>ut»d« per square inch. The engines are equipped with Atlls-ChnInters bar- ometrlc condensers. The pumps arc located between the high a ml low pressure cylinders mounted directly upon the shaft, and In such a manner that the pump runners, when Ailed with water, supply all the required fly wheel effect. Water enters the pumps from both side* at and directly opposite tho center of the revolving Impeller, thus forming a balanced suction. Three 2S0-h<>rsejM>wer Atlas water tub* boilers will supply the necessary steam for operating. The present Installation will l*e ex totaled to later Include five of these pumps In all.

Is now be ing used by the Western Union Tele graph Company, and for every one used eight expert telegraph operators are displaced. For the past few weeks C. A. Whit ney, of New York, an electrical expert, haa been In Atlanta Installing three of these machines In the main office of the Western Union, and messages from New York are being received over It dally. The machine, known ae the Barclay printing telegraph. Is the result of five years of experimenting upon the part of Its Inventor, J. C. Barclay, assistant general manager and electrical engi neer of the Western Union. After a thorough test of these machines In the New York and other big offices, the company decided to buy all the patents last November. A committee ot promi nent officlale, one of whom was Su perintendent J. Levin.-of Atlanta, re ported favorably on the machine, and on this report the company bought the patents and the exclusive rights to manufacture It. Has Big Capacity. It Is so perfect In Its work that It receives and prints on a line of the dlatance from Atlanta to Birmingham something like 2,800 messages a day, and Superintendent Levin says a fast operator,, working at high pressure, can only send 400. And all that Is neces sary Is a girl to Insert telegram blanks on the typewriter attachment and take out the messages as they are printed. For sending the messages, a girl Is also used, and she uses a keyboard Just like a typewriter. As she touches a key a motor-driven mechanism perfo. rates a paper tape with the requisite number of dots and dashes, and when this tape Is finished It Is placed In a transmitter, run through automatically, and .on the end of the wire hundreds of miles away the printing mechanism begins grinding out messages faster than one girl at the sending end can perforate the tape. In fact, one send ing machine requires three girls work ing at the perforating keyboard. The printing mechanlem consists of a magnetically controlled typewriter. There Is an electrical contrivance at tached to the printing machine capable of making many combination., and when a certain letter Is transmitted by the perforated tape the magnet controll ing that letter Is put into aclon at the other end of the wire on the printing machine and the letter Is printed by the typewriter. The Blickensderfer form of typewriter Is used, with some im- provementa, and there Is a magnet to control every motion. When the end of a line Is reached, the girl sending the message, or rather the girl who Is perforating It on the tape, strikes a character signifying that the carriage of the typewriter Is as far as It will go and must be pulled back. But the girl putting the paper In the typewriter and taking out the finished messages does not do this. As soon as the char acter on the tape signifying that the carriage must be moved back doe, It work, the carriage-is Instantly moved back to begin Its work again by a mo tor. constantly running on the back of the typewriter. It Is All Automatic. At the qame time the roller holding the paper Is moved so that the line written Is moved up. In other words, characters on the tape do on this mag netic and motor driven typewriter what a typist does in writing upon a type, writer. Superintendent Levin says he has been trying to get some of these ma chines In Atlanta since last November, when the company bought the patents, but only recently has he succeeded. He says several of these machines were installed In New York In addition to those already there, and points out that the men displaced by them were brought to Atlanta and other cities aft er the strike. At present the machines used In At lanta are working with New York and are kept busy all day long. Superin tendent Levin says he will later connect them with Birmingham and other Im portant points In the South. There are now In the Atlanta office three perfo rating devices and two printing ma chines. For several days past girls have been practicing on the perforating machines until now they are ready to send messages, and Superintendent Levin expects to begin this feature on Monday. Puzzles Recipients. The machine acts with almost human Intelligence and not a thing seems left undone to make it absolutely automatic. The girl at the typewriter printing the messages does not touch a thing ex cept the blank paper going in and the, printed messages coming out. Nothing but capital letters are used, and the receipt within the last few days of these messages by Atlanta merchants has caused considerable speculation. Many of them called up Superintendent Levin and wanted to know what new kind of typewriter was being used. "This machine,” said Superintendent Levin, Ts one of the greatest Inven tions of the age. It will revolutionize the telegraph business. Where one of these machlnek is used eight operators are displaced and In their place is one girl.” The Western Union manufactures them and owns them exclusively.

The article referred to In the above com munication follows and appended to It Is the Item concerning the destruction of the paper opposing the antis: Georgia and Her Hypocrisy. (From The Easton, Pa., Free Press.) Undoubtedly one of tho most miserable shams In the history of stato legislation has recently been accomplished by Georgia. Great stress has been lnld upon the fact and It Is clothed with Importance, since It tends to show the emotlousl signs of the times, that Georgln has Jumped from local option to prohibition. Now by law liquor eon not be mads, nor sold, nor given away, and even the drug stores are prohibited from supplying to the side or the dying any stlmutnut with the exception of puru alcohol. If a physician finds that cham pagne, now so frequently used tn the sick room and hospitals, or brandy, Is necessary, the law demands that the patient shall die rather than the liquor prescription shall prohibition sentlmeut In the Houtb In their seal even struck nt the religion of our Lord and Savior, since the law forbids the ad ministration of wine lu the churches In con nectlon with the holy sacrament.

It pissed one day by a vote of ten to one, nml. mark yon! tbs very next day the legislature passed an ace disfranchising the negro. Here was n questionable political deal and a bargain that was manipulated nml ac complished by the politicians both within and without the church.
