AV tho recent Christian Endeavor

Lost year $66,000,000 was spent by
the railroads of tho United States for
crossttes. Tho average price of the
ties was 60 cents. Forty-three per cent
of the ties wero of oak and nlnetcon
per cent of yellow pine. Owing to tho
scarcity of "timber, othor woods aro

found that these treated woods outlast
the more expensive untreated oak ties.
In the Gould divorce case the chil
dren aro to divide the year between

custody of one the other I* to see them
at Intervals stated by the court If
there were anything In our present
divorce system to bear testimony
against Itself, It Is this unhappy condi
tion of the children thus placed be
tween parents at enmity la a state
which Is la the very natnre of things
demoralizing and destructive of all nat
ure) ilea and affections. Restrictions
on divorce may seem hard, but the
right of children to the happy and
elevating Influences of borne can not
he Ignored in the question without
harm eventually to society and the
state.
Travelers differ. While former Pres
ident Itoosevelt has been slaughtering
big game In Africa, giving free advice
to the nations and Incidentally keep
ing In the limelight of the newspapers,
former Vice President Fairbanks has
been quietly traveling around the
world, and at last accounts was at
Poking. Were It not for an occasional
dispatch; few would know that he was
beyond the national borders. Between
the simple aud the strenuous life there
Is s wide gulf of separation, and this
divergence It well illustrated In the
travels of the two men who for four
years were associated together at the
helm of national affairs. Both ara evi
dently enjoying themselves abroad, but
, la ways which are vastly different.
Finish the Work on Peachtree Road.
The work on Peachtree road must not be stopped. Too much Is In
volved of vital Interest to Atlanta. If the commissioners are wise, thoy
will not think for one moment of calling a halt at this crisis.
And the reasons nre obvious.
Only three weeks more of stendy work on Peachtree road will com
plete this splendid 80-foot boulevard to the county line of DeKalb.
The result wlilbe.that the 1,000 automobiles which are due here In
November for the great exhibit will find the only speedway In the South,
ten miles long, 80 feet wide, and almost straight.
Moreover, by November 1 DeKalb county will have contributed five
additional miles to this magnificent thoroughfare, making It a drive fifteen
miles In length.
The contiguous property on either side which Is needed to widen tho
road has already been donated for the entire distance, and nothing remains
to be done but to prosecute tho work to completion.
What It means to Atlanta can not bo estimated In dollars and cents.
It will be In the nature of the most effective advertisement. No Induce
ment more solid or substantial could be offered to Investors.
Scores of the men who arc coming to Atlanta In November are the
representatives dt capital.
And the stimulus which will be Imparted to the city’s growth by having
this splendid roadway In readiness for our visitors at this time will bo felt
for years to come.
The Country Editor—His Ups and Downs.
The llfo of the country editor Is portrayed In nono of the dramas
which have como down from tho age of Elizabeth.
Nor have tho playwrights of later times turned to this copious fount
of Inspiration.
And strange It Is, thot a figure around whom baa centered so much of
tho wit and humor—so much of tho pathos and tenderness—so much of
tho wisdom and understanding of modern Journalism—should have es
caped so long the pen of tho dramatist.
Metropolitan editors aro fow In number, but country editors nro
legion.
They nre found In every village end hamlet Most of tho pungent para
graphs which brighten tho routine of dally life and most of tho editorial
opinions which voice the sentiments and feelings of the great democratic
mosses aro written by tho country editors. They aro men who keep close'
to nature's heart—who are least affected by the fads nnd Isms of modern
life—who breathe tho air of the opon fields—and whoso sincere and hon
est hearts nro clean because thoy are one with the birds nnd with the
brooks. £ ' ,
But tho omissions of the older playwrights have. In pBrt at least, been
supplied.
And tho credit Is Georgia's. ,
Sir. S. A. Fackler, editor of The Ifazlehurst News, has written a play
entitled “Tho Ups and Downs of a Country Editor;" and what Is more, tho
play has been staged and from the most critical viewpoint has been pro
nounced n success. It was twice presented at Hnzlohurst to packed
houses. Visitors In the audlcnco declared that thoy had witnessed noth
ing better In the cities where tho best plays aro seen; and preparations
nro under way for reproducing "The Ups and Downs of the Country Ed
itor” In other towns of tho state.
Tho Georgian congratulates Mr. Fackler. He Is a veteran In the
ranks—a member of tho Old Guard. Unobtrusively and quietly ho has.
tolled for 10 years. But at last all over Georgia tho peoplo aro begin-'
nlng to sound his name. :.
Dike the author of "Chllde Harold," ho has suddenly awnkcil to find
himself famous. !
Literature and a Lost Cause.
Under the above caption Dr. Charles Alphonso Smith, who has recent
ly boon called from the professorship of English In the University of
North Carolina to the corresponding chair In tho University of Virginia,
has contributed to the columns of Uncle Remus's Home Magazine an arti
cle which sheds upon the Lott Cause of tho South a new and beautiful
light.
The Georgian reproduces this article In full becauso it Is something to
be treasured—a gem for tho scrap book.
Bays Dr. 8tntth;
It Is tho merest truism to say thn\ the war meant far moro to
the South than to the North. To the North It meant the preser
vation of the Union, the abolition of slavery nnd the well-nigh un
broken ascendency of a political party. To tho South It meant
decimated families, smoking homesteads and'the pnsslng forever
of a civilization unique In recorded history. Dut literature loves a
In-' cause, provided honor be not Ins!.
Hector, the leader of the defeated Trojnns; Hector, tho war
rior, slain In defense of hla own fireside, la tho most princely
figure that tho Greek Homer lias portrayed. Tho Roman Virgil
Is proud to trace the lineage of his people not back to tho vic
torious Greeks, but on to the defeated Trojans. England's great
est poet-laureate finds hla amplest Inspiration not In the victories
nf Ills Snxnn ancestors over King Arthur, but In King Arthur him
self and Ills peerless Knights of the Round Table, vanquished
tho they were In bnttle. And so It bus always been - the brave
but unfortunate renp always tho richest measure of Utorary Im
mortality. '
There Is no tenderer scene In Shakespeare than where
Cordelia stands In the present her father, despised, disinher
ited. forsaken. But as her cowardly suitor slinks from the room
bccauso Cordelia's Inheritance has been lost, the king of Franca
steps forward and on bended knee says:
“Fairest Cordelia, that art most rich, being poor,
Most choice, forsaken, nnd most loved, despised;
Thee and tby virtues hero I seize upon.
Be It lawful, I take up what's cast sway." .
And so, when brave men have fought for the right as God gave
them to see the right, but fought In vain; when the bugles call no
moro, when the banners are tattered and trailing, when the shouts
of victory are forever hushed, and the miserere of defeat Is
chanted over tho graves of a burled army, when all, all. Is lost
save honor, It Is then that the muses of poetry and song stoop from
their celestial heights and lift the dear old lost cause up, up. Into
the unchanging realm of literature.
More than 3,000 years ago Leonidas nnd his 300 Spartans dared
to confront tho countless hordes of Xerxes. Defeated? Annihi
lated! But on tho pages of the world’s literature nnd wherever
heroic hearts respond to heroic deeds, Leonidas and his 300 still
stand outlined ognlnst that Grecian sky, an Incentive to vnlor.
More than 50 years ago Lord Cardtgnn nnd his GOO made tho
Immortal charge at Ilalaklava. Defeated? Annihilated! But on
the pages of the world's literature nnd wherever heroic hearts re
spond to heroic deeds. Lord Cardigan and his dauntless 600 nro rid
ing yet i.
More than 40 years ago Pickett and hts devoted followers made
the heroic charge at Gettysburg. Defeated? Annihilated! But the
time Is coming—It Is nearly here—when on the pages of the world’s
literature nnd whorever heroic hearts shall respond to heroic deeds, •
Pickett and Ills peerless hand shall charge aud charge forever.
Thus, If history means anything. It means that, as tho years go
by, our national literature ts to bo more and more permeated by
Southern history and Southern traditions. Then, and not till then,
will be taken away our reproach, thst of Having a history but nn
unwritten and an unknown history; for Southern history will then
have been written In the living letters of a nation's song nnd story.

T HIS Ih a picture of the Sea mew, tho boat on which I came down to
Wavebeach. You can’t wee the utate room I was In. because It Is on
the other side of the ship. The x shows you where the. dining saloon
is, but I didn't go In where the captain stands. He Is a surly brute; would
not speak to me when I asked him If he couldn't anchor until I felt a little
better. Ask father to write a letter to the company about him.
My room In the hotel Is the one marked x. I get a view of the ocean
by looking In the mirror, which reflects things around the corner. , This Is
almost as good as having It straight out of tho window. When I went to bed
last night I was lulled to sleep by the sound of the breakers, but when J
woke up during tho night I found It wasn't the brokers, after all. but some
one snoring In the next room. It didn't seem so nulling after that.
This Is me In my bathing suit. I tried to get tanned yesterday, but only
got blistered. Some of the life-savers are almost black. They were mad
yesterday beenuse a couple of fishermen pulled a drowning man out of the
water and rolled him on the .sand. They took the man away up to their
station and worked moro artificial respiration there, altho the man asked
them to stop, as he had rheumatlsn) In his shoulders.
This Is a snapshot of a party from tho hotel. I am behind the one
marked o. If you look close, you can see the top of my head. The one
marked x Is Edna. She Is a peachplpptn. Send mo some money. Edna's
hair Is golden, but she can't cash It.
How do you.like this? Wo had It done on a postal by a tintype man. It
doesn't do Edna justice. I am teaching her to swim. After that. I'll learn
to swim myself.
This Is a snapshot of me teaching Edna to swim. She Is under the x.
You can't see her. because when I was watching the camera I let her go and
she sank. She was mad when she came up, but she couldn't say much, os
her mouth was full of sand and salt water. She has gone to dry her hair
now. •
In the*photograph on the other side, if you use a magnifying glass, you
can-sec a'cnnoc. I went out In It yesterday with Edna, nnd It upset. She
swam ashore, but & life-saver came out and got me. I was all right, but he
insisted upon pounding me in the ribs when we got ashore and waving my
arms around. I told Edna afterward that I thought It very deceitful of
her to pretend she couldn't awlm when Bho could. She said: "Wall, didn’t
you try'to teach me to swim when you know nothing about it?" I said that
was different, but sho said It wasn’t. You can’t argue with girls. They aro
so Illogical.
Edna wouldn't speak to me today. On the other side Is a view of the
ocean. It is quite deep at the spot marked x, beside the big rock. If I Jump
Into the water. I will choose that place.
This Is a view of the church at Wavebeach. I have marked x about over
the place where Edna and I stood when we were married. Please send rail
road fare home for two. *». • ^ •
Growth and Progress of the New South

The nlil count* conrtbouie .1 Brewton, Ala., Is heln* converted Into A tobacco
packing honac, aaya The Georgia and Alabama Indnrtrlal Index, and (he crop grown
thta gear la being hauled In from (be (obacro farma (wo mllea nor(b ot town.
Tha yield (hla acaaon waa unnanall* good, an average of 000 pounds fo (ho aera
for abided wrapper amt 000 for aun (obaeeo being annooneed hr (he Escambia To

work will begin In a few daya In grade (be tobaeeo, when It will undergo a proceaa
of aweatfng for week*, and then baled for I he market.
It la learned that (be tobacco crop* In' Perry, Conecuh and Mobile eounttea
may leek thla packing hnuae, which will be arranged with every modern apparatul
•anetloned by the government.
I'rof.aaor J. E. Bohro, a npvernment expert stationed here, saya the tobaeeo
grown hero la ot superior quality and oa good ai can be grown In Cuba. The com*
ponies hen an making a specialty of the Sumatra wrapper, grown under abide,
and the grade grown hero ranka at the top notch with that raised anywhere in the
United Stales.
Brewton will be th. eentraliring point In Alabama of all tobaeeo grown fa Ala
bama thla year and for yean. -**
* T. P. Ilomm, nf Chicago, president of the Alabama Sumatra and Havana
Tobaeeo Company, which fa now building a big warehouse and curing plant in Bald
win county, Alabama, la quoted lo The Mobile Item as saying that more than Ml,-
350.000 will be Invested by th* company In the culture and curing of shade and
•uncrown tobacco in .that section of the state. The plant now being erected repre
sents on Investment, to begin with, of $05,000. During the ensuing year the eompaay
wtll plant about 500 arres, and a yield of 500,000 > pounds of tobaeeo la looked for.
t The timber and lumber mills in and near Brewton, Ala., are ruaning nn full
time and a few ate working a portion of tbe night overtime. The mllla find It nec
essary to run over time to a certain extent to execute all their orders promptly.
Pratt City, AI.., which recently voted 5135,000 of bonda for public Improve
ments. la to spend the money as follows: 845,000 for sowers, 5*0,000 for atboola,
30.000 for o city ball and fire department, $15,000 for waterworks and $15,000 tor
street Improvements.
At the close Ia.t week sentiment leaned to the bear tide, hut on Saiur.
dav August 2L the low points were touched. The market lias been mostly
of a professional character, with the big guns taking a vocation. To thla
can hr attributed the advance In prices during the week.
For the greater part of the week dullness has been the feature, and prof.
Its were taken on bulges or declines, thus holding prices steady, with only
slight changes cither way until Thursday, when a better feeling developed
and Prices for the lust two days ahowad a decided tendency to respond to the
glootnv advices from the belt us to Me condition of the growing crop. From
all sections reports of daterioraUa© are being received. In the eastern belt,
where much of the shortage In fJe west was expected to be made good, the
crop Is in a bad way. the result of the hot nnd dry weather and following
the recent copious rains.
In Georgia tnuen shedding Is reported, and premature opening makea
for a low-grade early crop, while claims are made that the late or top crop
will be a failure. Georgia should show sharp deterioration In the govern-
ment report to be Issued on Thursday, September 2.
It Is called "disaster" In Texas. A traveling crop expert under date ot
August 20 pays of the condition In that state:
“Eastern Texas, that Is. from Texnrkann, Mount Pleasant. Pittsburg
Marshall, Big Sandy. Tyler to Athens, tha crop as a whole averages fairly
good, but extremely spotted also. This section has made all it Is going to
make, and can barely be classed as fairly rood. From Marlin. Moxle, Ncumo
to Hempstead, crops are awfully poor, except In limited area. From Hemp
stead to Branham and around Brenham. there are some excellent crops-
that ts. relatively excellent. Prom Brenham to Austin, ns a whole, It la aw-
fully poor. From Austin. Hutto. Taylor, to Temple, thru some of tho best
portions of Williamson and Pell counties, crops are awfully poor.
"I do not believe that all of Texas that lies west of Fort Worth wifi
make 70 per cent of Inst year's crop—tills under moat favorable conditions—
while thru this section there are a few scattered localities where crops are
most excellent; that Is. nround Haskell and Rule, also around Abilene, Mer-
kel and Sweetwater. I took an automobile trip from Abilene thru Buffalo
Gap nnd the Jim Ned Valley to Ballanger In order to try nnd get nn average
of tills section. This It supposedly the best section west, and It Is distinctly
spotted and all late. Taking Texns ns a unit. I think the conditions at rtiia
writing are the most disastrous that I have over seen.”
The weekly bureau confirmed prlvnto reports of the serious condition of
the crop In Texas. Oklahoma, Mississippi. Arkansas and Louisiana and In
dicated droughty conditions In parts of South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia
and Alabama.
This unfavorable showing, did not Induce speculative buying, fears that
tho premature opening resulting from excessive temperatures causing the 1
September nnd October movement to assume abnormal, proportions and
thereby cause skepticism as to material crop shortage. The market suc
cumbed to such nn experience In September of 1907. when unlooked-for
heavy glnnlngs gave rise to hopes of o bumper crop, while the actual turn
out was only 11,571,000 bales, under conditions far more favorable than are
presented now.
If cotton Is freely marketed at present or lower prices during Septem
ber and October, spinners will get some bargal ncounter cotton as compared
with prices they will be compelled to pay when the bulk of the crop passea
from first hands. If crop damage Is not highly exaggerated.
At the close prices were 25 to 36 points above the closing figures of tht
week previous.
The September government condition report will be Issued a week from
tomorrow. It will compare with 71.9 last month, 76.1 last year, 73.6 the ten-
year nverage. nnd 04. the lowest September bureau on record, which figurei
were reported In 1902 nnd were followed by an October bureau of 58.3.

OPTICAL TALK
HYPERMETROPIC EYES
We stated in last talk that in caases of Hypermetropla, commonly
called "Far Sight," young people can usually see clearly, but suffer
from eye-strain—on the contrary, as persons who have this defect grow
older, the vision becomes poor, not only In Bcwlng, reading, etc., but
also In viewing objects at a distance.
Tho only recourse ts glasses, and either two pairs must be used,
one pair for far seeing and one pair for close use, or else Bifocal
Lenses, far and near vision combined In the same glasses.
We are perfectly equipped for examining the eyes for
glasses and for prescribing' and grinding the right lenses.
