But we ao got bolifd Ibis i that direction NOW. sJSt To a Multitude of Correspondents. , May tbe'eilltor of The Georgian be permitted to make acknowledge monts In thla column to u multitude of people who have written him kind ly and Inspiring letters relating to his transfer from Georgia to another field of editorial labor? These let ters have beeu so many and no multi plied day by day and withal so kind ly, ao helpful and so Inspiring that they touch doeply the responsive chord which yet cannot find time to cypress an uhswer to thorn all. In the busy closing days of our connection wjjh The Georgian and with the opening days of onr advent to a newer field, It Is Impossible that all these letters should be answered within any reasonable time, and wc, therefore, beg with a full mul grate ful heart to piake acknowledgment through these columns to our friends for the messages of comfort and In spiration which shall mold our best endeavor In the new lines of labor which have come to us.

The banks of Atlanta making up the Atlanta Clearing House Asso ciation cannot be too highly commended for tho wise and vigorous policy which they have adopted to me£t all possible contingencies which come to us from the moving of the Southern cotton crop. In no one thing Is Atlanta to be more congratulated than In the strength, stability and conservative vigor of Its .banks. They are each of them established upon the soundest of bases and with abundant cap ital they hafe always mingled the highest common tense. Better than that, Atlanta's banks stand like a unit together in matters relating to tho trade and commerce of this city and section and the strength of one Is as the strength of all combined. The action of yesterday In the Issuance of clearing bouse certificates Is simply an other expression of the policy which makes aafe tho financial status of the city and the section around about. Under the conditions prevailing Itetwoen the Atlanta hanks no depositor could lose a dollar so long as .those banks and their securities existed. Better than that, no holder of the Clearing House Certificates could lose a dollar until the streugth of all the banks In Atlanta was exhausted. Standing together as these hanks do. with a great phalanx front of finance, they make practically one great bank with many branches and no disaster can happen to the certificates so long as nny one or all of the banks are solvent sad strong. It would seem lb be Impossible for financial discretion to reach a safer and more solid arrangement than this. And we sincerely trust that the people of Atlanta and of Georgia will roallse the splendid condi tion which prevails and that In case It should ever be possible for any anxiety to be felt In thla section, every man of common sense would realise that the safety of the depositor rests entirely In the strength of his loyalty and confidence In the bank. The coming of money to the financial centers of the country la pro gressing steadily and satisfactorily, and no one seems to have any ap prehension that there will be any further disturbance In tho conditions. There has been a flurry without any real foundation behind It and wo are both proud and happy to believe that when this-fog of apprehension has been lifted the South with its conservative capital will have emerged from Jt not less the ‘ Bunny South of Finance” than the “Sunny South" of history. THE CERTIFICATES GOOD AS GOLD OVER THE COUNTERS. As an evidence of the public confidence Inspired by the Issuance of tho Clearing House certificates of tho Atlanta banks, five leading de partment stores on Whitehall street liavo authorised The Georgian to say that these Clearing House certificates will be accepted as coin of the realm over their counters during tho term of their existence. The Davison-Paxon-Stokes Company, the Keely Company, M. Rich & Bros., tho J. M. High Company and tho Chamberlln-Johnson-DuBose Company, have promptly agreed that to shoppers and to payers of bills, these Clearing House certificates will bo Just as acceptable ax cash over their counters and In their offices. ' The thirty million dollars of resources now In tho united banks of tbc Atlanta Clearing House stand back of these certificates; and that they will pass current In nny channel of commerce Is already assured. What mom rcmalus to be snld as n:i expression of public confidence than this? The Waltham. Mass., municipal ruvcniment has barred roosters from lie city. Looks like a piece of graft 'or the watch company. Much ado Is being made over the mi that Miss Carrie Rockefeller is o wed a iKK-r inau. Isn't n rich girl fe:f»!y ft.'s'l who cm} pfford •neb lea? ATLANTA PROTESTS A LIMESTONE PUBLIC BUILDING. The pride and common sense of Atlanta and of the South will pro test against the proposition to construct of limestone the great Federal Building which Is planned for this Twentieth century city. We fall to see how tho government can reconcile such a proposition with either good policy In an economic way or with tho spirit of perma nent Improvement which seems to be dominant In the ago in which wo live. The government Is rich and prosperous. Atlanta Is a great and growing city fully recognized nn one of the leading. If not the leading, cities of the 8outh. A public Improvement built In this city of Atlanta should be of the most substantial and oudnring quality. It should lie built to represent tho power and boucflcence of the government both at the present time and In its forecasting provision for the future. Nothing cheap, uotblng shoddy, and nothing pcrlshablo should he erected by the national consent In this great city at thla great time of prosperity and development. Georgia Is rich both In marble and In granite and Its splendid products should be utilized by the government If the condition arc at all equal, In the erection of a public building tu Georgia's capnal city. The Indiana limestone Is not of such mnssive and enduring nature ns the granite and mnrbfe of our Ocovgla quarries, and a due regard for state pride as well us a high regard for general economic and |x>r- mauont public Improvements should move the government to the erec tion of a proper building at thin point. We sincerely trust that no effort will he spared by those In author- lly to eonservo these ends anil that Atlanta, which focuses tho eye and 1 attention of the South,,shall not bo saddled with a cheap and unsatis factory structure which Is oxaoctod to last for tho noit fifty or one hundred year*. There should go to Washington a sounding protest against anything less than marble and granite tu tho new public building for Atlanta. THE STATE NORMAL AT ATHENS. The State Normal School at Athens makes ah announcement In these columns which is of. Interest to the general public and to which wo direct attention because of Its Importance to the convenience of students who desire to enter in January for the few vacancies on hand nt that time and In order to save others from tho expense of going to tho school only to find tt overcrowded and no place for thorn. In reading an announcement like this one is always moved to re gret and pity that the state cannot afford to furnish ample accommo dations for all eager and anxious students. Instead of putting up so early in our educational buildings the sign of “standing room only," the stale Institution ought to bo able to bang out a kindly lamp of Invitation from every window to every young aspiring soul In Georgia. Tho Stato Normal at Athens fs one of tho finest schools In the state and In the South. Professor Branson as a teacher, as a literary man and as an educator ranks amoug tho first men In the South. Ills abilities are of the most distinguished order and are fully recognized throughout the country. Miss Parrish Is one of the famous educational womeu of the times, and these two, with an able and brilliant faculty, make up a strong and inspiring Institution for the young men and young women of the state. Georgia ts fortunate Indeed In having schools like this dedicated to the development of our intellectnl equality with othfer sections of the republic. And we sincerely trust that tho future has better financial things in store for the splendid Normal School Rt Athens. lux The English populace has display- cd much Interest in the infant son of the suzuli • royal'rdopliKnow visiting in London. la fact, they claim a half lilt- : Pi,...,if :it William Dutcher. of the Nall-tai Association of Audubon So- lieiie. has recently Issued au ear- ties' it.! ‘I:.- pie eVVatloa Of til ' Ilird Li \:.i t ie:.
