OTJR PLATFORM: THE GEORGIAN AND NEWS stands for Atlanta’s own ing its own gas and electric light plants, ns It now owns Its water work*. Other cities do thla and get rag ns lotv us 80 cents, with a profit to the city. This should be done at once. THE GEORGIAN AND NEWS hen«res that If afreet railways can be MiWtld successfully by European cities, ps they are, there la no good reoson why they can not he so oper ated here. Hut we do not believe this can be done sow, and It may be some years before we are ready for to Mg an undertaking. BHI1 Atlanta should set Its face In that direction NOW. England Gets Our Wheat. During September and October the United Kingdom of Great Britain tiff ported from various countries 6.011,- SSI quarters of wheat The largest share came from the United States, followed by India, with Canada as third. This total la an Increase over that for the two months of 1906, when 4,327,054 quarters were Imported. Tboro is one smile that Is bradded n. It’s the Chriatmas smile. It la now up to the "favorite son” to get Into the rays of the spot light. It la hardly likely that the receiver for the Jamostown Exposition will grow rIt-li aa a result of hla appoint ment. Taft may have been In some danger from bombs Intended for the czar, hut Nicholas was never In much danger from the Taft boom. We do not believe the report that those who have recently been invited to the White Home are to form an as sociation. That scramble for the G. O. P. presi dential nomination should be as excit ing aa a Tech-Georgla football scrim mage. "E. H. Harriman Has a Cold,” says a New York newspaper headline. We wonder If the trouble la In hla feet? (8tuy Fish, please note.) After hla whirlwind tour of Asia and Europe, Colonel "Bill” Taft should be able to make campaign speeches tn several different languages. But there Is only one kind of blarney. It la proposed, says The Chicago Record-Herald, to stop the selling of pop at baseball games. Why doesn’t somebody Invent a rubber pop bottla? That would end the danger. What chance has General Stoeiaclf If reports of the court-msrtlal, now being held In 8t. Petersburg, be true, the general was found guilty quite a while ago. Editor Stovall of The 8avannah Press objects to tho papers referring to tho new senator from Arkansas as •’Jeff" Davis. Spell It oat every time, says he. Now Isn’t that Pleasant? An alarmist who yelled "Fire!” In a Chicago theater was knocked sense less by one of the attaches. Rather drastic treatment, but the occasloo seemed to demand It. “Never look a gift horse In the mouth,” says sn old adage. What do you think of the Chicago dentist who was In love with one of twins, bat could not Identify his sweetheart ex cept by her teeth. What a pity Mr. Roosevelt did not wait until Taft set foot In New York before turning loose that “I haven't reconsidered” broadside! David Be- lasco would never hare overlooked a climax like that. ► “Gratultoui advice, dear Pau- ■ line. Is the kind that Men—and women, too—thrust upon us when they have no use for It them selves.”—Albany Herald. Wonder who has been writing to .Colonel Henry Mac? DEATH OF COL. A. S. COLYAR. In the death of Col. A. 8. Colyar at his borne In Nashville, Tenn., on Friday, there paused one of the remarkable men of a century In the South. Statesman, lawyer. Journalist, historian and promoter of Industries, ho had achieved distinction In each and every line along which he had been moved to devote his time and talente. In his ninetieth year—a veritable patriarch, he retained the unimpaired use of hla facultlei up to within a few hoars of his death. There la not tn the history Of the Volunteer State a’parallel to the ca reer of this man In many of Its aspects. He was one of tho three sur vivors of the Confederate Congress, In which body, distinguished for a number of brilliant men, ho was conspicuous for his breadth of view, pa triotism and Industry In the deliberation of the troubled questions that crowded In upon It He held first rank among the lawyers of the South and In hls more active days was a power before Juge or Jury. Penetra tion and logic were the qualities that marked hls practice of the profes sion. He scorned the arta of oratory as the chief reliance for sneceas In a legal Issue. As an editor, Colonel Colyar was a power In public affaire. He conld never bring himself or hls newspaper to the role of the partisan, and though a professed Democrat tn those days, he was more nearly an Independent In politics. As a result, he was'often charged with wearing bis party robes loosely. Hls best known literary and historical work was the Life of Andrew Jackson, written after he had passed hls eightieth year. All bis life he had studied and admired this many-sided man until hls admiration grew Into a personal championship and this passionate In Its resentment of the calumnies that have assailed the public and private character of Old Hickory. The work Is notable as embodying more hla- torical data than contained In any other history of Jackson and It was compiled with much painstaking care. Whatever the merits of the per sonal attitude of the writer toward hls subject, this history of Jackson Is Inestimably valuable for the Immense amount of lrfformatlon collected from difficult sources covering not only the life of Jackson, but an Im portant period of Tenneasee and the South. In personal appearance, Colonel Colyar was a picturesque figure—a type of the ante-bellum statesman. In countenance, figure and bearing he was fashioned and mannered after the pictures one sees and the things one reads of the men of other days. Tennessee honored A. S. Colyar with no public office since the war, but Tennesseans have always respected tho man for hla many virtues and admired him nncommonly for hls Intellect and the splendid use he made of hls talents as a private citizen. He had performed distinguished serv ice for hls city and state, and Its citizenship will do honor to hls mem ory. THE RESPONSIBILITY OP STATE AND INDIVIDUAL. The Inauguration of Augustus E. Willson as governor of Kentucky on last Tuesday at Frankfort, marked the advent Into high official posi tion of a strong, positive and potential moral force. This Is a period re markable for the number of state and national figures the Influence of whose dominant aggressive personalities Is conspicuously thrown on the side of morality and Justice In all questions touching the well-being of the people Individually and collectively. The example of President RooSevelt has proven an Inspiration for righteous dealing with issues great and small which affect the welfare of all classes of American citizenship. Governor Willson In hls Inaugural address on Tuesday placed himself directly In line with the best and worthiest efforts of other distinguished statesmen of other states when ho said: “Our law—the will of all the people and the common heritage of every soul in our state—does not request, but .commands ns, each and every one, to obey In order that every one of ua shall have Its full and equal protection; that no one shall trespass upon tho llborty or tho Just rights of any other, and that every one shall In pence and safety enjoy nil that Is hls own. "To all who obey It covenants to give protection In life, lib erty and the pursuit of happiness. Upon all who break the law we covennnt to Imposo punishment. The protection of all who obey the law and the punishment of all who break It must be so quick, so sure, so severe, that no one shall dare to take the risk. “I sound the call for every mnn and woman In the state to condemn and atrlve to punish tho crime, violence nnd disorder which shames ns In the sight of God and man; to drive from the sight of the civilized world the brutal menace of mob law, and I appeal to alt of the people throughout the state, as I hope to ap peal In a few days to their representatives In the general as- semblr." Governor Willson, as a man and ns a Kentuckian, goes on record as opposing with the strength of a splendid and fearless manhood the out rages against decency and order, perpetrated In hla own state, which by their audacity and frequency, have (hocked the entire country. As the governor of a great commonwealth, he has now the opportu nity to show to other sections of the republic that mob law, disorder and crime shall not go nnwhlppcd of Justice, or longer cast upon a noble peo ple the shadow of disgrace and reproach. Decency and morality must be maintained as well In the state and national life as In tho Individual lire. A nation or a state which tolerates transgressions or laws regulating the lives and property of any class of citizens must suffer the same loss of public respect and position as does a man or woman who, setting aside the restriction* o'f the decalogue, finds himself or herself a moral outcast. No man or woman Is worthy of the regard and consideration of their fel low-men who forfelti hls or her self-respect because of the gratification of human weaknesses and human pasilnns. The Individual, aa well as the state, mutt have a standard of excellence, steadfast nnd unalterable. Environment or expediency should be powerless and futile to affect the viewpoint of nn Individual or a people. Truth, Justice and uprightness of living In state or citizen are the foundation stones upon which must rest all hope of permanent or abiding success and happiness. Mob law In the South—which happily has been checked by the force of a righteous public opinion—has proven a fearful menace to tha prosperity and ad vancement of this lection. Restless and resentful at the Inexcusable de lays In the trial and punishment of criminals, the Impulsive Southern temperament not unnaturally has frequently found expression In the Im mediate execution of a verdict rendered by an outraged people. But greater self-control and quicker legal processes have brought about changed conditions and the South can be acquitted of any failure to abide by those means and methods of redress and protection afforded , by the regular courts. Of late Kentucky has suffered from a phase of disorder and violence which Is a serious reflection upon the state and upon the splendid peo ple constituting Its citizenship. Governor Willson Is evidently keenly alert to the seriousness of the situation and is prepared to meet the responsibilities and obligations de volving upon him as chief magistrate of a commonwealth where law and order must be maintained It the respect of the country at large la not to be forfeited. As every Individual is alone responsible for the gratification and In dulgence of moral weaknesses so must every state be held accountable at the bar of public opinion for the failure to enforce those laws and Idgal enactments which make for peace end prosperity. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION MEETING PLANNED. Preparations for the fifth general convention of the Religious Educa tion Association at Washington, D. C., February 11th to 13th, 1908, give promise ot an exceptionally well arranged program. The Indication* are' that this convention will be easily the best ever held by the association. The general theme will be “The Relation of Moral and Religions Ed ucation to the Life of the Nation.” This theme Is divided Into the follow ing topics for the general sessions; "How Can the Educational Agen cies He Made More Effective aa Moral and Religious Forces?” "How Can the Moral and Religious Agencies In the Nation Be Made More Ef fective as Educational Forces?” “Educating the Conscience of the Na tion.” A fourth general session Is devoted to reviews ot work and the ebhnal survey of progress by Dean George Hodge*. President Roosevelt has promised to receive the delegates In the East, Room at the White House, and to address them there. The local committee In Washington It making preparations which will Insure to alt .attending tbe convention proper entertainment. There will be reduced rale* on the railroads. Growth and Progress of the New South 7 b** Georgian kero reconla each tiny acme economic, fact In reference to the onward progress of tbe South. BY JOSEPH B. LIVELY Washington, Dec. 14.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter, out today, gives th" following information about milts In the South: The Girard Cotton mill, of Girard, Ala., which Is a branch of the Eagle and Phenix mills In Columlnis. did not enter Into the agreement of the Alabama cotton mill manufacturers to curtail production and Is In full oyorutl 'i a., uuual. . - Operations win probably begin early this month In tbe plant of the Swift Spinning mills at Columbus, Ga., and It l« expected that It will be running at full rapacity by the end of the year. The mill building Is a three-story structure, 178 by 131 feet, and Us-equipment will consist of 10,000 spindles for manufacturing cotton yarns. The concern was or- ganlxed a year ago with E. W. Swift president nnd C. J. Swift general manager. Its capital stock Is S125.000. Construction ot the new: mill lor the Proximity .Manufacturing Com pany, of Greensboro, s. c, baa been practically completed and It Is ex pected that operations will commence early In the new year. It is a two- Ktory building, 428 by 130 feel, with basement, and tho equipment will consist of :4.00b ring spindles, 113 revolving fiat top cards and nine sets of picker machinery. Electricity will bo used. The product will be denim warps, which will lie used In tho present mill of the company. About 300 operatives will be employed. It Is rumored on good authority that Washington, N. C,; Is soon to f iave a net and twine factory. A number of prominent business men are ntorested In the netv enterprise and are now In correspondence with parties In Boston, Inquiring Into the details, such as'cost of machinery, expense of running such an Institution, etc. In this city.

OR, HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY. (From The Augusta Herald.) Under the following quotation, the editor of The Georgian says some good things and some true things: “People in the cities sneer at the email towns, but there are wore* places, We prefer living In a small town, where the people will sympathise with you If you are In trouble, and If you haven’t any trouble they will hunt It up for you.” With this as a text, the editor of The Georgian says: “Oh, frenzied city people (and take this as addressed especially to Augusta), how little you know of the meaning of peaco nnd of the eternal verltlen of rennonoble enjoyment that come of living In a village." True— oh. how true, but do we understand that tho editor of The Georgian Is now making a claim that Atlanta Is the best village of the state. What about such garden spots of Georgia as Stone Mountain. Llthonla, Bonevllle and Sawdust en route or via Atlanta to Au gusta? Are not these, after all, the real villages of the state rather than Atlanta? For so many years Atlanta has claimed everything else In Georgia and now to covet the title of the only real village In the state along with the rest. Well, Mr. Speaker, we object. We are wilting to admit that ns a “collard center" Atlanta may hold her own among the cabbage heads of this country or of Europe. She produces the tallest stalk and the biggest bunch of leaves In the world. Washington, Charleston and Louisville are not In the same' class with Atlanta, never have been and never will be. And de spite the many cruel things and pun gent paragraphs-that we have seen hurled at Atlanta, we have rejoiced In the fact that none of them has ever touched her. This probably Is not so much to Atlanta’s credit as to the fact that she Isn’t built that way. But pursuing Atlanta’s claim to the village premiership of the world. The Georgian says: “To feel that you are a part of nature's heart and realise that you are a part thereof, that you have a kinship to every tree, that you are related to every animal that moves, to every stone that lies by a wayside, that you are Intimate with everything that lives and brsathes. All these go to mako up the life of the men and women and children who llvo in country vil lages.” And great Is Atlanta! Dear reader, “have you ever been In Cincinnati"—we mean, of course, At lanta? Can’t you Just see the trees— don’t you recall your kinship to the “animal that moves;” don't you remem ber the “stone that lies by the wayside” and the noise of the cash registers al most silencing "the purllngs of busy lit tle brooks," each one vlelng with the celebrated but mistreated “Gal In the Fountain?" Such ls-the beautiful coun try village Of Atlanta—the home of Hoke, the gateway of the South, tbe place where the legislature adjourns and the Georgia railroad stops. Long live tha country villages and long live Atlanta, the best village of them all. As our unknown preacher says: "Peo ple In the cities ’ sneer at the small towns, but there are worse places.' Evidently he was not thinking of At lanta when he said It. SHELTERING ARMS AND THE AEROPLANE.

To the Editor of The Georgian: Permit a Baptist brother to give tn yonr valuable paper some Impressions received by him the last day of the North Georgia Sletbodlst conference, Jim closed at Car tersvllle. The conference was made up of Intelli gent, courteous and manly men. They were good-humored nnd fraternal. A very beau tiful Chrlttlan spirit pervaded the large body of mlnlafers nnd laymen. An air of business—real dispatch, as well ns of devo tion—was manifest on every side. There was quite a goodly number of ladles present who, like all tha rest, were anxious and Interested listeners. The large si beautiful auditorium of tho First Method!.. church waa well filled-somctlmca packed, Vsprclnlly when the Interest ran high. The reports made by the paators all showed real progrese In money-ralilng and soul-sav. lng. Nome of the reports were exceedingly gratifying. I was particularly pleased with the tern, persneo report. It was comprehensive and clear. It breathed of Christian devotion nnd of patriotism. It msde a strong plea fnr tha ririfntrAm—Mft the ^nratranl'iTiAma notion.

(Copyright, 1907, by Arthur w. Mnrchmont.) By ARTHUR W. MARCHMONT. Author of "By Right of Sword," “When I Wat C**r,” Etc., Etc, Synopsis of Previous Installment, Olive hoards n train hound for the town In which Lawyer Casement resides. Rhe buys a newspaper to re«d on the Journey and the first article which attract, her at tention Is one Ooneernlng the mysterious robbery at tho foreign office. Bbe finds tbnt her fiance Is suspected. Her quick Inventive wit eoqn sug gosted a gcheme, and before she reach, etl London she hod firmly resolved to put It In execution. Instead of going at once to Mr. Case ment. at Frampton, she would go to the rooms which she had tnken In her character aa a private detective nnd se cure a fresh disguise. She had left some money there nnd a few hours' de lay would enable her to complete her preparations. And London of all other places was the best for the purpose. She would get Into allverbeech by hook or crook, nnd she would go as an Irish girl, Motile O'Brien, And she must both look and play the part so that even her own old servants should not recognize her. And then She smiled aa she thought that she would first test her disguise on Mr. Casement himself. No questions were asked at the house. The explanation she had al ready given had been accepted: nnd as sho paid liberally for the rooms, the landlady took the money and turned the key upon her curiosity. Olive’s first act was to repay the loan to the Polforths with one line. "Alice Garstang will call one day for the re ceipt.” Then she eat for a full hour before her glass studying the changes she had to make tn her appearance. Then she went out and posted her latter and bought a black wig; one of those ex travagantly crimped affairs, spreading out wide on either side ot the head and coming low down on the brow. Sho cut off close to the head the flaxen curls of “Rosa Baumsteln” and dyed the little hair left, as welt as the eye brows and lashes. A tint ot rougo skil fully applied gave her an Irish com plexion: and a very little effort enabled her to alter the contour of tho lower part of the face. 8he knew she could rely upon herself to maintain this. The figure was easier. Away went the broad hips which tho German girl had had. The waist was lengthened to the greatest extent, the effect being Increased by the dress on which she hod decided. And as a finishing touch she manufactured a slight hump on one shoulder. The Irish accent gave her no trouble. Shs had more than once played an Irish part In theatricals, and loved the brogue and had practiced It constantly: while her native wit would enable her to manage the turn of phrase and dialogue. The task occupied her until far Into the night, but It woe finished before she went to bed, and she was entirely satisfied with the result. Taking her own costume with her, she started early the next morning for Frampton, and, leaving tho box at the station, she walked to Mr. Casement’s office and asked to see the lawyer on a matter of Importance. “He’s very busy this morning,” ob jected the clerk. “What Is It you want? And what name?” And sure It's Mollle O’Brien my name Is, from Cloghereen, by Klllsr- noy. nnd a bad day It was for me that Iver I left it. But I’ll have the law on 'em If I have to sell my ould shoes and walk barofutted for the rlet of my days. That I wilt." The other clerks began to titter. "What Is th% business?" ’’Sure, and are you the lawyer him self? Faith, ’tis a bright gossoon yo are, wld an air about ye and a hand some face o' your own. But Ann n wurrud do I shpake o’ my matters to anywan save the masther. You tell him that Mollic O'Drlen. of Clogher een, must see him. Ah. now." shs add- ed, In a wheedling tone and with a wink, "Just get me to him quick like the broth of a bhoy yo are." Mr. Gibbons, tho managing clerk, came forward then. “Let me hear what It le." he said. ' “Ah, the top of the morning to ye. Mr. Casement,” said Olive, with a cour tesy. "Bure the O’Shaugtmcssye of Ballybrack tould me you"— “I am not Mr. Casement." he Inter posed; “but you had better tell me your business.and I will se« If bs can you." lure. It's a handsome set of chllder the ould sphinx has,” sold olive, ro guishly, nnd at this they all laughed again. "But It’s your father I’m af- ther wantin’ to see ah the same. And all this time ye’re keepln’ me here, sure the Justice I'm seekln' Is gsttln’ coulder and coulder every - minute." "Well, Mr. casement's engaged Just now." replted Gibbons. "Then there'll be no harm In my waltin,’ will there?” And she placed a chair for herself In tbe middle of the floor nnd sat down. "I suppose It’s kape him tn a box or a glass rase ye dor , Mr. Gibbons went in to ilr. Casement then And brought word that the lawyer would see Miss O’Brien. "Miss O'Brien, Is it?" laughed Olive, "Sure that’s me sister. Haggle, seeln’ that we're twins and she was born an hour lq front of me,” and with that last gaily ahe walked Into the lawyer’s prl vate room wondering If he would rec ognlze her. ••Good morning." h* said politely pointing to a clialr. “My clerk tell* me you wleh to ere me personalty." Olive's eye* twinkled with mischief when he did not know her. “And Is It the rale lawyer I’m ephakln' to at last? Your sons In there—’’ "They are “not my son* at all; my clerks. Now, please, what Is the mat ter r "Whisht now, can th# gossoon* heat us?” nnd Olive pulled him by the coat sleeve and pointed mysteriously to the outer office. “Oh, no. Don’t fear that at all,” was the smiling, good-humored reply. "Ah, well, Hint’s good," and the nodded her h#ad very knowingly. "Well, now, I want to talk to ye about—" she paus ed and lowered her voice, “well, about myself. But sacret. molnd, aacrof, as th* grave. I want to ask ye to git me situation." At first the lawyer was so surprised that he stared at Olive In blank amaze, rnent. Then the absurdity of the thing appealed to him with Irresistible force and ho leant back In hls chair and burst out laughing. Olive was ns serious as any Judge and looked a little offended, "And shure, does It ahtrolke ye as funny I should want for a chance to earn my livin'?” she asked. “No, no. mf good soul. But you've made a mistake. Yen want a aervsnt*' registry office." "Hear to that now," cried Olive, throwing Up her hands.
