THE HOME TO BE THANKTUL TOR.
The home to be thankful for may not be
costly,
Both Inside and outside a model of art—
But, howsoa'sr simple and humble It may be,
It must, of all things, be the home of the
heart.
Its best decorations may only be roses,
And little fold buttercups, grown by the
door.
Its music the voices of Innocent children,
And little feet pattering over the floor.
The home to be thankful for may not boast
acres
Of field and of meadow, of orchard and
glen,
But It must be an ark, where footsore and
weary
May rest in 1U shade from the wild haunts
of men.
It must be a fold where the lambs may bo
sheltered
From worldly temptation, from sorrow and
•in.
Where the hands may be trained, and the
feet may be guided
To wander without and to labor within.
The home to be thankful for may not have
in it
The pearls of the ocean, or gold from Pern,
But, It mnst have the Jewels so dear unto
mortals,
Within its charmed circle, so precious and
few.
It must have the care of the father to keep It,
The love of the mother so tender and tweet,
And it must have the kisses of dear little
children,
And smiles of the "old folks," to make It
complete.
"The home to be thankful for;'* many have
got it.
And many will have It when oar day Is
o'er,
This prelude to bliss, this bright foretaste of
pleasure,
That heaven hath promised when time Is no
more.

There recently died In Toledo, Ohio,
a son of the late Orrfn Kendall, from
whoso Initials tho use of "0. K.,” mean-
!»:: all right. Is s*!d to havo sprung.
Tho father during the Clrll war was
the head of the firm of 0. Kendall &
Sons, bakers, of Chicago. This llrm
furnished hard tack for the army, on
which were stamped the Initials "O.
K." Theae crackers were relished by
flic soldlen, and their expression,
"These are all right," developed Into
"These are O. K."
Another discovery of very great In
terest was made not long-ago In Pom
peii. where the work of excavation Is
quietly proceeding. Under the aah de-
jiosItB there was found an extensive
villa of handsome construction and or
namented with very tine frescos. Tho
villa contains statues and other works
of sculpture, both Greek and Roman,
besides very rich furniture, which Is
well ornamented, and also many vases
of dlfTbrent kinds. There were also
found coffers filled with gold and silver
money. In the basement sre great am
phorae which were used for storage
purposes, and In the triclinium the ta
bles were prepared for a banquet of 30
persons. Some of the silver pieces
scorn to havo been taken out at a pre
vious epoch, for there are traces of
clandestine search which waa made at
a former date.

Nowhere has the downfall of Cle-
menceau created a greater degree of
satisfaction than In Italy, where
neither the court nor the government
could forget the fact that before his
accession to office In 1900 he has re
peatedly rendered himself guilty of
the most savage attacks on the reign
ing house, of Savoy In the various Pari
sian newspapers which he controlled
as proprietor and as editor-in-chief.
Many of these attacks were printed
over his own name. Then, too, he Is
credited In Italy with pronouncedly
Austrian sympathies. Certain It la
that for more than a quarter of a cen
tury he has been In the habit of spend-
lng part or ever7 summer In Austria,
and that he baa numerous and ex
tremely Intimate friends at Vienna.
Thli, of course, waa not calculated to
endear him to the Italians.
Medical Inspection of Schtool Children.
The wisdom of the city authorities In providing for the medical In
spection of children In the public schools la made apparent by the startling
nature of tho disclosures which have recently come to light.
Dr. Stewart Roberts, the medical examiner, has prepared and issued
within the past few days a pamphlet which contains a number of Important
revelations.
Tho first of these to catch the eye Is that 68 out of every 100 children
are in need of medical attention.
Before the end of the scholastic year In June last Dr. Roberts states
that he visited three schools and examined 1,090 children.
Of this number only 469 were found to be normal—not less than 631
were In need of treatment
The various defects and diseases which tho Investigation disclosed
were: Mal-nutrltlon, 14; anemia, 67; enlarged glands, 81; heart disease, 19;
skin diseases, 43; nervous diseases, 7; teeth defects, 221; eye defects, 233;
orthopedic defects, 3; enlarged tonsils, 176; adenoids, 201, and car dis
eases, 12.
When The Georgian last spring urged the appropriation of the compar
atively small sum of money which was needed to defray the cost of this
medical Inspection, we argued that the good results would more than jus
tify the expenditure; and developments have already confirmed the logic
ofthla reasoning.
Children are often handlcaped at school by reason of physical defects
which are unknown to parents; nnd. If neglected, they sooner or later de
velop Into death warrants.
Treated In time, these ailments can bb successfully overcome; and
what It means In the saving of vital energy to nip theso disorders in the
bud—so to apeak—can not be estimated In dollars and cents.
Another thing to bo considered Is that where children congregate to
gether In large numbers—some of them coming from homes In which there
arc no sanitary regulations nnd In which little thought Is given to the mat.
ter of personal cleanliness—dlsesso germs are more than apt to abound;
and nothing but the enforcement of the most rigid rules of Inspection will
give the community the protection to which It Is entitled.
But the time has arrived when no one In Atlanta will venture to dis
pute the truth of this proposition.
One of the most beneficial features of tho now system of Inspection Is
in the provision which has been made for treating, tree of charge, the chil
dren of parents who are unable, without great Inconvenience, to Incur doc
tors' bills.
And under the operations of this humane policy thore Is no reason
why any child In the public schools of Atlanta should bo handicapped In
the raco of life—If the ailment be one which medical skill can correct.
Tho results already derived not only Insure the permanence of the
new system of Inspection, but justify the belief that In the long run of tho
years It will provo ono of tho wisest Investments which Atlanta has ever
made.
Up to the Railroads.
Mr. Richard H. Edmonds, the editor of Tho Manufacturers' Record, says
that tho railroads of tho country will need to spend at least $1,000,000,000
per annum for the next five years In extensions and Improvements-to meet
the demands of Increased traffic. '
On every side tho Indications point to an era of phenomenal prosperity
—prices are on tho upward bound—building activities have been resumed
—money Is no longor difficult to procure for legitimate investments.
Within the next decade there Is destined to be marvelous Industrial
and commercial expansion. ,
Tho railroads are fnco to face with an opportunity both for accumu
lating dividends nnd for conciliating tho public. If they are prepared to
handlo the business of tho country without congestion.
But If shippers are Inconvenienced by long and serious delays, the like
of which have’occurrcd from time to time, the result will be that when the
next practical collapse of the railway system takes place It will not be so
easy to rally from tho consequences.
America’s Great Libraries.

of Caxton's art when a library of 100,000 bound volumes Is no longer a mar

Tlie Conoerona Yarn Mill, at Anderson, 8. la arranging to Install additional
machinery and Increase Its nnnua! output nitoat 50 per cent. Preparations for the
Installation of the new machinery are now under way, snd It li expected thnt It
will Ih» in operation l>y October 1. The new machinery will consist altogether of
spinning frames, the present carding capacity feting sufficient. A new warehouse
I* uow being erected st the mill snd will be used for storage purposes # Ul-making
room for the additional machinery. The main building will have to be changed
some and this will 1m» done by the time the new equtpmena arrives. When all the
machinery which has been purchased Is set In place the mill will have it capacity
of atmut 1,30,000 pounds of yarn annually. Instead of n little more than 800.000
pounds, as at present. A. 8. Farmer, of Anderson, Is president and treasurer of the
mill.
It Is announced at Knslejr, Ata., that within three days tbe large new plant of
the Ilarbloon-Walker Itefractorlea Company will be completed and put In active op*
oration. The finishing touebea are being pat on nnd the two large brick stacks are
completed.
The starting of this plant. It Is further stated, will mean employment of a large
number of men. It Is said that almut 300 men will 1* on the pay roll. Thla plant
Is In the tnJdat of tbe activities In property which sre now being carried on, ami
Is equipped with all the most modern equipment and devices employed In the man*
ufaeture of lire brick of various kinds. The product ■'dHlI consist of special Are

nerve will lie strained to deliver juice from the plant In the ahortest possible time.
There fs no question alwut Mr. Gillespie’s ability to finance the project to • one-

The very bed on which you sleep,
Your furniture, "per se,"
Zt’a made in Dixie for you
From Texas to N. O.
They built your house of Georgia pine,
It’a roofed with Georgia elate;
You bought the nalla in Birmingham,
If you were up to date.
The tug* you laid upon the floors,
The curtains, towels and sheets
Were probably made in Southern milla
Whose products can’t be beat.
Your hone that ateps in "tjro 0 three"
The "brand" you love the beat—

And roast* of Tax** beef,

HEX an ambitious young- man from the
"provinces" signified to Colonel Ingersoll
h|s intention of going to Peoria and earn
ing an honest living, he was encouraged by the
Bishop of Agnosticism with the assurance that
he would find no competition.
Personally, speaking for my single self, I
should nay that no man is in so dangerous a posi
tion as he who has no competition In well-doing.
Competition In not only the life of trade, but of
everything else. There have been times when I
have thought that I had no competition in truth- \
telling, ami then to prevent complacency I enter
ed Into competition with myself and endeavored
to outdo my record.
The natural concentration of business concerns
in one line. In one locality, suggests the advan
tages that uccrue from attrition and propinqui
ty. Everybody is stirred to increased endeavor;
everybody knows the schemo which will not work,
for elimination Is a great factor In success. The
knowledge that one has is the acquirement of
all. Strong men must match themselves against
strong men; good wrestlers will meet only good
wrestlers. And so In a match of wit, rivals out
classed go unnoticed, and there Is always an ef
fort to go the adversary one better.
Our socialist comrades tell us that "emulation" Is the better word, and
that "competition" will have to go. The fact is that tho thing Itself will
ever remain the same; what you call It matters little. We have, however
shifted the battle from the purely physical to the mental and psychic
plane. But It is competition still, and the reason competition will remain
is because it Is beautiful, beneficial and right. It Is the desire to excel.
Lovers are always In competition with each other to see who can love
most.
The best results are obtained where competition is the most free and
most severe—read history. The orator speaks, and the man who rises to
reply*would better have something to say. If your studio Is next door to
that of a great painter, you would better get you to your easel, and
quickly, too, and work more and talk less. ^
The alternating current gives power; only an obstructed current gives
either heat or light; all good things require difficulty. The Mutual
Admiration society Is largely given up to criticism.
Wit is progressive. Cheap Jokes go with cheap people, but when
you are with those of subtle insight, who make close mental distinc
tions, you should muzzle your mood, If perchance you are a bumpkin.
Conversation with good people Is progressive, and progressive Inversely,
usually, where only one sex is present. Excellent people feel the neces
sity of saying something better than has been said; otherwise silence is
more becoming. He who launches a commonplace where high thoughts
prevail is quickly labeled as one who Is with tho yesterdays that lighted
fools a-down their way to dusty death.
Genius has always come In groups, because groups produce the fric
tion that generates light. Competition with fools Is not bad—fools teach
the imbecility of repeating their performances.
A man learns from this one, and that; he lops off absurdity, strength
ens here and bolsters there, until in his soul there grows up an ideal,
which he materializes In stone or bronze, on canvas, by spoken word, or
with the twenty-odd little! symbols of Cadmus.
Greece had her group when the wit of Aristophanes sought to over
lap the stately lines of Aeschylus; Praxiteles outdid Ictinus, and wayside
words uttered by Socrates were to give Plato the cue to outlast them all.
Rome had her group when all the arts sought to rival the silver
speech of Cicero. /
One art never flourishes alone; they go together, each man doing the
thing he can do best. All the arts are really one, and this one art Is sim
