REPRESENTATIVE LEWIS' APPOINTMENT IMPORTANT, The 'announcement from Washington of the reappointment of Rep reseatatlve E. 1). Lewis, of Georgia, on the hanking and currency commit tec of the lower house, of which he becomes the ranking Democratic member, la significant In view of Mr. Lewis‘s past record on currency legislation and adds further Interest to the plan, recently suggested by Mr. Edwin P. Ansloy, of Atlanta, for the creation of a more elastic cur rency. In submitting bis plan to President Roosevelt. Mr, Ansloy claimed no originality for tbe suggestion that farm lands be'mnde. national bank able securities to the extent of 40 or 50 per cent of tbclr value. In tact, he wrote Congressman Livingston, In requesting the latter to present the pian to the president's consideration, that the Identical Idea was embod ied tn s bill offered In congress by Representative Lewis several years ago. That bill sought the removal of the ban from real estate as security for loans from national banks, but made little or no progress, primarily because of the violent opposition of the national banks themselves. The fact la significant, however, as revealing tbe vlewa of Congressman Lewis on needed currency legislation at that time, and there hat been nothing In hla-acta or utterances since that time to Indicate^ that he has under gone any change of mind on the subject. It would appear, therefore, that the plan revived by Mr. Analey will find's friend at court In the person of Congressman Lewis, leading Dem ocratic member of the committee on banking and currency, and that the effort at relief for the farmers of the country In handling their crops, acting In a large measure as a preventive of future money stringencies of a general nature, will at least get a hearing. A BLOW AT AMERICAN WOMANHOOD. The verdict of "Not Guilty” rendered at Waghlngton, D. C-, In the case of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley, charged with the murder of Senator Arthur M. Brown, was a. direct blow at American wifehood and motherhood. It was also the expression of the extreme limit of masculine sentimentality. Twelve men, supposed to represent various types and classes of American manhood, have declared that a woman who Id guilty of almost every sin forbidden In the decalogue shall go free with all the protection and priv ileges accorded the honest and respectable women of the country. Mrs. Bradley's only plea for mercy lay In the fact that the man she killed had persistently denied her request for marriage, when she had willingly con sented to the degradation he brought upon her. knowing at the time that he was tbe husband of anotber woman, end she, tbe wife of another man. An Intellectual, ambitious woman, familiar with tbe miserable social history of Senator Brown, knowing that he was a moral degenerate, al ready twice married—tbe last time to the co-respondent In hla wife's di vorce suit—Mrs. Bradley deliberately became a party to bis further deg radation without tho slightest hope of legitimate reparation. As the wife of another man, Mrs. Bradley audaciously became the mother of Senator Brown's children, with the knowledge that these .helpless victims of her Immorality could not have the stigma of dlsgrace' ltt anywise removed until death, or the divorce court intervened in the case both of heraelf and Senator Brown. Iter relations with the latter became a public scan dal throughout the West. In a lit of joaloui rage, realising that tbe man for whom she bad eagerly sacrificed her own self-respect and the pres- ent and future of her Innocent, helpless children would not marry her, Mrs. Bradley simply killed him after tbe manner of so many women of her tik. Mrs. Bradley’s case was even more flagrant and offensive , than that of Evelyn Thaw. The latter, full of the, weaknesses and ‘vani ties of a foolish, untrained girl, was an easy prey to men who appealed to her love of ease and luxury. Without moral Instinct and moral train ing and example, Evelyn Thaw became the silly, pretty plaything of unscrupulous men. Not so with Mrs. Bradley. A strong, self-reliant, In tellectual, ambitious woman, no longer with the excuse of youth or Inex perience, a wife and mother, squarely looking fate In the face, became a willing, eager party In one of the most disgusting. Inexcusable scandals of JltC present time. She was unequal to paying the price of her evil doing and after branding her helpless children with the stigma of her repulsive conduct, she adopts tbe role of a nervous, in-treated victim of the man with whom, hand In hand, she had gladly gone to her ruin. It seems timely and pertinent to bring to the attention of the Ameri can publlo the necessity for a higher and worthier regard for the respect able element of American womanhood. If the breaking of nearly every law In the moral code by women la to be rewarded with a verdict such ns the one rendered Tuesday at Washington, the home life of the country will of necessity be greatly endangered. The twelve men "tried and true" who restored to liberty Mr/t. Bradley by their verdict of "not guil ty" struck a serious, unwarranted blow at the domestic life of the coun try and did their part toward lowering the standards of wifehood and motherhood In America. SIMPLE LIVES ARE THE BEST. n re worse ft* prefer living In it ■mall town, where tbe people will sympn- Ihlac with you If you nre In trouble, am! If you haven't any trouble they will hunt It up for you.*’ The editor of a certain paper writes thla, and many will agree with him, though some take exception to the lost sentence. People who live In small towns, people who lead simple lives, peo ple who live as people In the city never knew how to live, are sympa thetic, warm-hearted, always ready to reach out helping hands to those who need them. We remember a story which appeared In the papers, perhaps .a month ago, about the dying woman who was left two weeks on n park bench tn New York, On a bench In Madison Square. Think of it! A woman dying of consumption, so weak that she Was unable to walk, ao III that she was dying. A mau who had noticed her sitting there tele phoned the Department of Charities and several hospitals, snd after re peated refusals, finally prevailed upon the authorities of one hospital to send au ambulance for the dying woman. The ambulance came—It was too late! Tiie woman was degd. Would Ibis have happened In a couutry village? Never. Country l«op1e are not of this sort; It one of their number (alia 111, an endless procession of friends come and go, carrying flowers, delicacies and cheer ing word* to the Invalid. When tbe aick person recovers, everybody Is glad and congratulations are showered 1 upon him. If grim death comeB, there are loving hands to perform tho last sad offlees, to place flowers uiion the caiket and to mingle tears with the bereaved ones. Thla Is what people In country villages -do. In cities we have seen funerals and receptions going on under the Bamc root. In apartment houses, hotels and rooming houses nobody cares much whether anybody else lives or dies; hearts grow at hard as th# granite stones that pave the city's streets. Ob, frenzied city people, how little you know of the meaning of peace and of the eternal verities of reasonable enjoyment that come of living In a village! • To journey through country lanes; to see the tender stars shine down from the summer heavens; to hear the whisper of the winds blowing across the meadows and fields; to hear the purllngs of busy lit tle brooks; to hear the Innumerable voices of nature, translated by the children’s tones aud the tong of birds; to feel that you are a part of na ture's Belt, part of Ita forests and rills and streams, is to enter Into na ture's heart, and realtxe that you are a part thereof; that you bsve kin ship to every tree; that you are related to every animal that mqvea, to every atone that Ilea by a wayside; that you are Intimate with every thing that lives and breathes. Alt these go to make up the life of the men and wqmen and children who live In country villages. Tbe people who live In country towns—they are of tbe world's beat. t Growth and Progress of the New South Th# Georgian here records eseh day some economic fact In reference to tbe onward progress of tb« South.

TOM WATSON TELLS WHY HE FAVORS GREENBACKS x — ■ —— Noted Populist Gives an Outline of the Arguments He Will Make to the President at a White House Luncheon—Information as Well as Advice For W. J. Bryan—National Banking Syatem Declared To Be All Wrong—Says Constitution Gives the Government the Right to Create National Currenoy. (From The New York World.) When IV, J. Bryan was told Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, who was the Populist candidate for vice president on the Bryan ticket In 1896, would advocate greenback money at a white house luncheon to be held next Mon day, he said; \ t "I won't comment on tliat until I see It over Mr. Watson's own signa ture. That paper (nay have copied the Interview from The World." The World had printed no such Interview, hut telegraphed Mr. Watson a request to make his position clear, and also to outline the arguments he will make to the president.

Thomson, ba„ Dec. '2.—To the, Ed Itor of The World: Your telejf/ani received. I can not understand why Mr. Bryan should receive Incredulous ly tho statement that I would advise the president to Issue greenbacks. Mr. Bryan knows perfectly well that I urn and alwaye have been a greenbaeker. jn other words, 1 have always contend ed 1 that' the constitution of tlje United States vested In the. government the right to create money. In common with Sir. Jefferson, Mr. Madison, Mr. Calhoun and_x-Andrew Jackson, I believe that tho government should have the excluelve creation of national currency. The national banks should not be allowed to Issue notes to circulate as money, nor should any other class or Individual be allowed to have that vast power which be longs of right to the sovereign. The creation, of money Is one of the Inherited prerogatives of the sovereign and no class of subjects were ever al lowed to Issue their, own coin or notes as money until tn the days of the dissolute Charles^ll of England that concession was coaxed out of him by his mistress, the notorious Barbara Vllllers, who was acting as the agent of London bankers. In Mr. Jeffer son's letters to John W. Upper, he took the position that Mr. Brynn Is now surprised that I should take. In his messages of 1815 and 1816, President Madison took the same posl- lion that I now take. In General Jack- son's famous light on the national hank he took the same position which I now take. When President Lincoln Issued greenbacke during the war, he also took the position thf.t the gov ernment had the right to create na tional currency out of any material that It saw (It to select. Tho supreme court of the United Stales, In the celebrated case of Julllard against Greenmnn. dis tinctly decided that the constitution gave to congress the right to creute money out of any material that It saw fit to select. Tho Legal Tender Decision. Thla decision, known us the "legal tender decision,” was made In 1884, but prior to that time the same princi ple had been decided by the great New England Judge. Story, who delivered the opinion of the majority of the eu- preme court. The case Is reported in "Second Mason, pagee 1 to 8.” The facta, briefly, were these: In 184* a Boston merchant tendered treasury notes In payment of Import duties. The collector of the port refused to receive these notes, upon the ground that they were not lawful money. The govern ment brought suit ugalnst the merchant for the Import duties nnd he pleaded a tender of payment. This made the Is sue fairly and squarely. Again the secretary of the treasury began to destroy tho greenbacka Once more, however, the people cried out agalnet tills contraction of the cur rency, nnd ill ISIS General Gram used HU great Influence to put a atop to It. By the act of .May SI. 18TB, the secre tary of the treasury was required to reissue the greenbacks as fast as they were redeemed and cancelled. In oth er words, the process of contraction was checked. At the time lids was done the out standing amount of the greenbacks war tll46.6Sl.il66 tn rnqnd numbers. At this sum they have stood ever since. My contention Is tost toe government should now do precisely what the gov ernment did under, similar circum stances In 1873. If It was expedient and lawful to Issue 126,000,600 In green backs In 1«7S It would be expedient and lawful for the government at thla time to Issue twenty-six millions, or any other number of millions ,not exceed ing the amount which would bring to# entire volume of treasury notes, up to the limit authorized by the acts of 1862 and 1863. This limit being *430,- 060,000, the president would have the same authority to Issue 3100,006,000 of greenback notes thnt the president had to Issue 126,000.000 In 1873. The present calamitotas condition of our national llnnnees has been brought about because toe government has ab dicated in favor of the national bank ers a sovereign prerogative. The coun try Is loedgd down With a colossal burdqn of bank credit currency by means of which the national bankers sre drawing compound Interest on at ers and privileges which they have usurped should be resumed by the gov ernment and the government should not only create 3100.000,000 of green back money but should create a suffi cient volume of legal tender notes to enable the business world to free It self from the tyranny and the exploita tion of the national banking system. Government money Issued directly by the government to the people In a vol ume of 315 per capita would be none too much to meet the requirements of the case. Advice to Mr. Bryan. I am astonished that Mr. Bryan should express any surprise when he reads that my position Is that which squares so absolutely with the historic Democratic position. Let him study Jackson's farewell address. Let him study the speeches of Thomas H. Ben ton. Let him peruse the messages oi Mr. Madison. Let* him master toe linanclal letters of Thomas Jefferson. Let him grasp the splendid train of reasoning In which John C. Calhoun argues In favor of governmental cur rency and he will then he better able to recognize what Is genuine Jeffer sonlan Democracy when he sees It. Tho national hanks are given the use of the two hundred and fifty millions of toe public funds. »ds Is wrong. They are given bonds for which they do not pay and for whose Issue there Is no good reason. This is wrong. The present administration has followed the example of President Cleveland and President McKinley rather than the precedent of 1873. To the astonishment of the radicals Mr. Bryan has not chal lenged the right of the national hank ers to perpetuate their undemocratic system, but has suggested a govern menial guaranty In their behalf which ould perpetuate the system which Jefferson, Benton and Jackson so bit terly antagonized. 1 profoundly regret to see that Mr. Bryan Is dlspoaed to sidestep the money question. He can not succeed In doing so. It Is the burning question of the hour nnd can not be put aside. The single gold standard violates the con stitution and gives too much power to the few who control the gold. The national banking system has brought the country to the verge of ruin and must be fought to the death. If Mr. Bryan refuse# to grapple with the ene mies of the public wealth leadership of the Jeffersonian Democrats will slip out of his hands. THOMAS E. WATSON, PEOPLE AND THINGS GOSSIP FROM THE HOTELS AND THE STREET CORNERS Silas Me Bee, of New York, who spoke at the dinner In the Interest of the Laymen’s Missionary Movement, has the distinction of probably knowing In. tlmately more rulers, princes and po tentates than any other one man. Mr. McBee Is editor of The Church man, the great paper of the Episcopal church, and It was he who entertained the bishop of London during that offl- clal’s recent visit to this country. Ho knew Pope Leo and he knows Pope Pius. He Is on Intimate terms of friendship with President Roose velt and King Edward of England. Nicholas of Russia has consulted with him on several occasions and Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany is well known to him. And besides all these he knows nearly every other crowned head of Europe. Confirming the announcement made In The Georgian a few days ago, John D. Little, of the law Arm of King. Spalding & Little, makes a statement to the effect that Major J. F. Hanson will remain at the head of the Central of Georgia road. Mr. Little says that while he has no authority to make any statement, he knows the facts in the case. He says that not only will Atajor Hanson not retire, but that the new owners of the Central stipulated when they bought the stock that Major Han son should remain president of the - ..... w road.

Merrldew comes nearer and nearer. ^ He came to the gate, threw the light over the field, and paused. He had not seen her. Would he go on or enter the field? The suspense harrowed her. He turned and sent the light ahead of hlnl along the lane, as If In doubt. And she clenched her hands until the strain hurt her. . _ Then he passed on; and she watched the light as he went farther down the lane. She waited until It had vanished and then rising, painfully and slowly, she crept cautiously on across the field. She was scarcely on her feet, how ever. before the light flashed out again, and she knew that she was seen. He had outwitted her. Reckoning that she would hide If she was In the field, he had gone on. and then, cov ering the light, had returned and lis tened. In an Instant he was over tho gate and running toward her. She cried out at the sight of him and began to run as fast as her weak legs would allow, In a last feeble effort to fly. But she tripped over the uneven ground and fell heavily, striking her head against the big clods. The .next moment he was bending over her. . „ „ . . She was dazed by the fall: and he picked her up and half led. half car riedher back to the gate, the discov ery of which had proved such a cheat-. Ing snare to her but a few minuteg earlier. This blocked their progress for a mo- ment. until, laying Olive down cloee to It, Merrldew hunted round by the help of hie lamp for a big atone, and with thlK he smashed the padlock and opened toe gate. , , Come,” he wild, somewhat sharply. , e have lost more than enough time already over this foolishness," and, putting his arm around Iter waist, he drew her up and started back to the car with as much haste as possible. Her effort had ao exhausted her that she had no strength to resist, and when they reached toe car. she waa almost glad to lean back restfully on the seat among the warm rugs, . He put her on toe front seat this time, »o tjiat he could see her from the place wnCIS he was' busy with, the machinery. Every now and then he would straighten ms back and flash the lamp In her direc tion, to make sure that she was not repeating her attempt to iscape. She had no heart left for that at present. She waa beaten and baffled, utterly miserable and forlorn, and per fectly conscious that in her present feeble condition she would haVe no chance of getting away. The trouble with the car was not a serious one, and Merrldew had soon re paired the mischief. Before they start, ed he came up to her side. "Will you glveme your word not to attempt any of this sort of foollshnees again?” he nsked. She would not answer. Ho repeated the question, adding: "It Is perfectly useless to think of It."- She still kept silent, and then he found a cord and fastened her wrist to his own. In this fashion they continued their Journey. He drove very fast, very recklessly, Indeed, and had there chanced to be any other vehicle on the road It seemed to Olive thnt there must have been a terrible accident. She almost wished It, In fact. But Ills luck stood him lit stead, and hour after hour they rushed on. not meeting any one, nor seeing any one, nor, so far as she could tell, being seen by any one. , The coolness of the air revived her, and as her senses regained their nor mal strength, she began to yield to the fascination of the wild rush through the night. At tlrst she could make out nothing for the blinding glare of the brilliant headlights, which threw forward their beams like the giant feelers of some mammoth, rushing beast seeking Its prey to dash upon and destroy It., Then, shielding her eyes from the glare, Olive began to make out dif ferences In the blackness of the shad ows as they fled past. First, the long line of the hedge rows;, then trees, and a lonely cottage standing back, and In this wa^ her eyes gradually greiv%ccustomed to the dark and she could distinguish various objects. And all the time Merrldew kept his gaze fixed rigidly on the road ahead, watching for every turn and bend, and driving with a skill that to Olive ap peared almost uncanny and devilish. Pant Helds and farms and woods they sped, always at the same rate of speed, dashing occasionally through a village or some little town, always as It seemed to her/ In danger, and always just escaping tt, until at length, the darkness began to lift, the glare of the head lamps grew lets dazzling, and a faint rosy tint showed on the skyline behind them. They were running up a long hill, so steep that the car, powerful as It was, could only take it at a comparatively slow speed, when Olive found she could see the road for some little distance ahead. "Are you asleep?" asked Merrldew, able for the flrst time to relax tbe strain of his attention to the machine. And he turned to look at her. "No. I have not slept. Where are you* taking me?” "I can't tell you that, but we shall not be long now. Another two hours. Iterhaps. You had better try to sleep." "I prefer to see where I am going," she answered. "Are you very cold?" was toe next question, in a not unkindly tone, and he bent across and pulled up her rugs. ‘T am very sorry for all this," he added. "If that were true you would end it, Mr. Merrldew.” "■No, That is out of the question,” he sold sharply. "Why? I will do anything you ask— except one thing.” would not be safe from tho men you tricked so recklessly; and In the sec ond. your friends would Interfere to prevent any such arrangement as you suggest.” Olive made no reply: and when they were close to the top of the hill he con tinued: "You don't believe that I am sorry I can not do what you wish'.’”. "You have made it very difficult for mo to believe anything you say.” "Yet It Is true. I will do this. Marry- me, and then make certain arrange ments about this money, and I will swear never to see you again.” He paused as If expecting a reply; and ta-hfen she did not speak, he added: "Think It over. It is the best way out." Then he gave himself up again to the work of driving and they tore on nt an even greater speed than before. Olive tried to impress on her mem ory th# nature of the country through which theY.passed; but It all appeared to he the same. An endless chain of grean and plowed fields, coppices, cot tages, with here and there a hamlet or Insignificant townlet to break or rather to vary the chain. After a long time she observed that the country grew wilder; they climbed hills oftener, and ran over long stretches of moorland. Here and there some disused workings nnd deserted shafts showed, with a few untenailted pottages spread around. A wild, deso late district, with rough roads over which the cart raveled at a slow-rate, pnd even then with many jolts and shakings. The eerie solitude and deserted as pect of everything oppressed her. and when at length Merrldew turned the car Into a side road toward a lonely ' house standing near to one of the de serted shafts, she shuddered.

A glnnce at the window showed her that It had been partly bricked up ami a set of bars built In recently. It was a prison; nothing else; and no pains had been taken to hide toe fact. Its only good point waa that It was all scrupulously clean. When Olive had been alone some minutes Mrs. Tlsley entered with a basin of warm milk and some bread. She set It down on toe table and left the room again without speaking a word. Olive was famished with hunger and ate what was gtven her wlth'*ag#mes*. Then she lay down on th* bed. She was utterly wretched and despairing, but her body craved reet, and In a few minutes, despite her anguish, she was fast asleep.
