THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE "It Is Indeed a desirable thing to be well de scended, but the glory belongs to our ancestors.” —Plutarch. Saturday Evening. The bloody eclipse of m brilliant life, In which one upon whom Fortune had lavished her most splendid gifts became the shuttlecock of her Irony and went down to dusty death In ibe midst of mirth and revelry,' has ab sorbed the Interest of two hemispheres during tbe week now drawing to a close. We have already Indicated that there are no lessons to be learned from this Iliad of teara which time and ex perlence have not taught with tedious reiteration ever since tbe melancholy hour "When Eve had led her lord away And Cain had killed bis brother.” We can only repeat that this Is true. And yet, at an hour when the moral sensibilities of the world are more deeply stirred than they have been for years—at on hour when even the flippant worldlings pause to meditate upon the heart-ache that Is twin-born to selfish pleasures, there Is an Inspiration to reflect upon at least one aspect of the deatb-crowned saturnalia. Out of the tangled woof and web of clews one fact secmB clearly to appear: That a man, endowed with more than moderate wealth, possessing In superior degree the talent, the magnetism, the nameless charm by which men cast a subtle spell over those who come within the circle of their Influence, employed these rich endow, ments to accomplish the overthrow of Innocence and honor. For purposes of these reflections It matters HtUe whether his Insidious artifice pursued the object of Jils former passion beyond tbe altar and the ring or rested with the Ineradicable canker Implanted In the years gone by. one who follows the tragic story as Its tear-stained leaves unfold can hear. In Imagination, the heart-broken vnil of that earlier bride In the acrlptural allegory: "Thtf keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.” The opulence of the Orient could furnish forth no hioro Impressive phrase to express the bitter depths of dosolatlon and of shame. The manners and tbe cus toms of the times required that no unsullied wife or daughter In the Hebrew commonwealth should go tin veiled. Tho nicety of honor prescribed that tbe eye of tbe stranger should not see her face—a custom of the Orient so deeply roofed that It still prevails today. And tho keepers of the walls—they were tbe watch men, the guardians, the civic towers of strength. Thoy were the Incsrnatlon of law and order, the refugo of the weak, the defense of helpless Idnocence. If this pro tection was withdrawn,,whither could they fly In hours of dnnger? How hopeless and helpless they were Indeed wlioso face was sacrilegiously revealed to every vulgar eye and made the target of every Insulting leer! There was a pathos which the occidental mind can hut dimply comprehend In that piercing wall which breaks through the Song of Songs: "The keepers of the walls took away my veil from me." It 1s not alone In allegory, not alone Ih 1 far J\idoa that this walling cry rises above the mirth and laughter of the world. Out of the languorous light and perfume of an Inebriating atmosphere where liner sensibilities are steeped In rosy dreams and the sentinels of oonsclcnce are lulled to sleep with lutes and lotuses—out of this Adonis-garden of a night, conjured up by minds that are masterful and mesmeric—there comes with sickening frequency and clearness the stricken cry: “The keepers of tho walls have taken away my veil from me!” And then tho fierce light of tho garish day—the face that fain would hide Its beauty from the gloating eye of levity or tbe chilling stare of scorn. Her happier sisters pass her—veiled. The daughter, wife and mother—relied, Veiled, veiled! The very casements of uncontaminated homes, curtained and secure, seem to echo with withering mockery, “veiled, veiled, veiled!'*—whllo In her own 'bitter and blighted heart murmurs the same melancholy monotone. "The keepera of the walls”—not the bdggars at the gate nor the outlawed thieves on the highway to Jericho, but the guardians of social honor and civic law, tbe keepera of the walla—"have taken away my veil from me!" How long Is the glamour of wealth an eminence to daxsle the eye of Justice? How long Is vice to flaunt Itself la the livery, of virtue, because the texture of Its mantle Is cloth of gold?' Are the unspeakable orgies which do on In tapestried eyries above a glittering pleas ure garden to escape the avenging thundeVbolts while Mott street conies are harried from their burrows by the sleeptess beagles of the law? Is vice to continue less vi cious bcause It flaunts Itself on a splendid scale? The stricken daughter of Jerusalem la not alone In her agonising cry: "The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; tbe keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.” Its faculty to any college south of Johns Hopkins Baltimore. With two acres of ground directly fronting the Grady Hospital, with a faculty of thirty or more of the foremost physicians and. surgeons of Atlanta, and with tbe splendid environment of nearly four hundred pupils, with a chem leal, physiological, pathological and bacteriological lab oratory of the best quality annexed, this Institution Is worth a visit to anyone who wishes to be Impressed with the splendid development of Atlanta along the high lines of the modern art of surgery and healing. The Atlanta College of Physicians and Surgeons. The advertisement of the Atluuta College of Physi cians and Surgeons In today’s Georgian marks a very large and progressive step In Southern medicine. The consolidation of the Atlanta Medical College and tbe Southern Medical College took place In 1*98. since that time the Atlanta College of Phyalclans and Surgeons has marked a steadily progressive career. The new build ing, ItOxSO feet, now rapidly nearing completion on the site of the old Atlanta Medical College. Is one of the handsomest and In all respects one of the completes! buildings' consecrated to medicine In the South. Tbe completion of this building, Jolnad to the other large and ample buildings on tbe splendid tract of ground which comprises the college property, makes the Atlanta Coltsgi of Physicians and Surgeons In literal fact the Un equal in t-i'ii; n.eni and the easy equal In the merit of Lincoln, Watterson, and History, Col. Henry Watteraon la now engaged In the phllan throplc work of defendlrg Abraham Lincoln from the charge of Illegitimacy—before northern audiences, of course. Col. Watteraon Is always InteresUng, but.rarely re liable or Important. The trouble with the Kentucky editor la bis persistent bid for notoriety and applause from the clubs and gatherings that furnish applause— and gate fees In the North. A few years ago, and after Jefferson • Davis dledy^ the Colonel asserted before an applauding audlcpce—In Chicago—that sixty days before the collapse of the Con federacy Jefferson Davis and hla cabinet refused from Abraham Lincoln and hla cabinet terms' of*surrender whlch'every suggestion of prudence and of statesmanship should have moved them to accept. In the absence of any other defender the editor of The Georgian .entered the lists of controversy against Henry Watterson upon this proposition. We put upon the’ witness stand In complete refutation every member of'the Confederate cabinet living and dead, and every member of the Con federate commissioners living and-dead. The contro versy lasted two years. At tbe end of that time Colonel Watterson was compelled to surrender, and this he did, not to the man who had proven Ilia inaccurate reflections upon the Confederate government, but’to 'Jobn H.'Rea : gan, of Texas, postmaster general of' the' Confederacy, who had written a letter Indorsing‘tile position''which tbe editor 'of this paper had assumed. Two or three years later iHopklnson Smith asserted In New England that “Uncle Tom's Cabin” was .doing- damage to the fraternal spirit of the country, and ought, to be condemned. Henry Watterson, speaking again' to' and for tbe applause of some Northern gathering, rushed to the defense of Mrs. Stowe's book, and declnred that it was a faithful picture of Southern life and the author a great woman and benefactor. The editor Of this paper Joined Issue again with the foolish utterance, and' proved Mr. Wattorson’i maudlin error from the records and from history. The controversy had no direct result upon the colonel's expressed opinion, but the best proof of tho strength and truth of our contention was found In tbe fnct that at the close of the controversy Colonel Wat- terson’s own state of Kentucky passed an act through Its legislature forbidding the presentation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" upon any stage or platform Ini that com monwealth. And ao It has come to be well understood that Col. Watterion's history Is always largely colored by the audience and occasion before which he speaks and that his facts ars always to be accepted with the proper and prudent amount of salt. It la a very generous and. a very popular thing to argue before a Northern or a Southern audience the question of Lincoln's legitimacy. We love and honor Lincoln In the South as much as they do In the North, and ns Jealously guard his fame. But the truth of history Is somctfyiug that will come out, and the evidence 'Id- support Lincoln's Illegitimacy Is much clearer and strong er than that which goeii to prove the regularity of bis birth. Of course the public deslrp and tendency Is to bellevo the bettor thing. Lincoln's paternity has been credited to various n» of greater or leas repute. There never was a scintilla of fact to support the suggestion which The Macon Telegraph revives that linked him with John C. Cal houn. That was a mere rumor born of the romantic design to link a great man to a great ancestor. It la of part with the gossip that made him the half brother of Jefferson Davis. Richard Owsley, of Kentucky, was a nearer and better based suggestion. But the strongest evidence pro or con In this famous case, made Lincoln the son of a neighbor In Hardin county, Kentucky. Upon this line General Jambs Wil son, of the Federal army, who was the captor of Macon and of Jefferson Davis In our civil war, and who was later advanced to high command In Cuba under the McKinley administration, told the editor of The Georgian that he had spent an entire winter In southern Indiana and Kentucky In vigorous and exhaustive Investigation Into this matter, and that Lincoln's Illegitimacy was at well attested as any fact In history. But what does It matter In the record of the great war president? Lincoln was a great, good man—one of the greatest and broadest and kindest In the world's, roster of great men. He has passed Into an Immortality upon which the rosea of Georgia and Carolina fall as softly as tho rosea of Kentucky and Illinois. He la not the first great man who has lived under this sad and melancholy shadow of birth. Alexander Hamilton was an Illegitimate, by the tes timony of his most ardent biographers. There are wise men and strong men In the editorial sanctums of north ern New .'ork who will tell you from the records that Martin Van Buren was the son of Aaron Burr, and that Burr In turn was the putative father of Samuel J. Tilden. The great brain and the great soul rises above all adverse conditions and tbe Vorld acclaims the man and the hero that lived and forgeta the Irresponsible child that suffered In another's aln. nmn nr more than that rarely reaches the eyes of more wafl mustered into service and ordered to itjiort to Gen than a pitifully smalt number of readers. ! t'tal Magruder at Yorktown.

That Is a charming and timely suggestion which Mr. James L.' Fort, of -America's, ■ makes through The Georgian today to those wbq have Ip charge the arrange ment for opr hofne. coming celebration 'Jn, October. Wliat could be sweeter arid what more beautiful to our exiled aona and daughters who are living In other commonwealths, than to have their return to this dear old native state efrelo and "center* about tbo Immortal song written by John Howard Payne, who. although born Jn‘Neyr York qlty.jllled "In, Georgia and wrote* la this state the song that has gone around the world? • Surely this furnishes a suggestion which our Home Coiners committee could utilize with great profit and ad vertlse with Immense effectiveness . throughout. the length and breadth of the territory which our former Georgians have Inhabited and developed. Tbe soqg should run like a'silvef current of loyalty through'every day of the celebration, and If we should make also the occasion to erect here at that time a monument for the Ijnmqrtul singer. It would make a distinct and definite center for this Home Comers week.- w. —- -a We commend tbe suggestion right heartily to those who have this matter In charge, and If they should not deem.lt appropriate to honor Payne, then we might; off. Mr. Fort snggests, transfer the central thought of the Home Comers Week to the unveiling of Oglethorpe's monument at Savannah. "As he whk the (founder/ It would seem like,n father calling his children btimfc." * ‘ This approaching occasion Is' In Itself 'full of tbe tendqrest suggestions, and of the, noblest sentiments that stir the human heart. Left to Itself and to the mere Joys 'of reunion, and of fellowship and of sight seefng, hqld scenes familiar and .those.metamorphosed Into su perb development, thqre would be abundance of Joy nnd happiness In our Home Corners Week.I But If tjiere breathed to Georgia's returning children in every note jof.tho band and In'every stroke of the violin, In'every rapturous, burst of . the orchestra, and in every tendril 1 flngor that tduched the'piano’s chords during tbqt week, tbe beauty,,the-pathos and the radiant reminiscence of Payne's Immortal song, the Georgia home comers would carry tyick with them memories that would last them as long as life should last. And so, we suggest "Home, Sweet Home” as the sen timent of every greeting, and we suggest that some noble and timely memorial to the Immortal hard should form the central and beautiful Incident df this period to which every Georgian at home and abroad Is looking with brightening eyes and 1 glowing hearts against the Octo ber day to come. Be Brief, Dear Friends. Once more we must appeal to our friends and cor-' respondents to have consideration for the crowded state of our columns, and to make their communications brief. It Is Just utterly Impossible for us to print all of the opinions which our friends send to us at the length In which they are presented. The pllo of communications upon oqr desk Is so large that they would consume two solid Issues of this paper at thla moment to dlipoae of them, and It we published one-third of them every’day. there would be little room left for news or for editorial opinion of our own. The communications which we publish today are nearly all condensed and abbreviated In thla ol!!co by necessity. We have taken the liberty of doing this, be cause we cannot poaatbly publish them In their original length. , Once more we would Impress upon our friends and correspondents that nobody reads long-winded communi cations, except from men particularly prominent In the public eye, and even then, there are few who read com munications that are at much aa a column In length. We earnestly counsel our friends that if they would be heard upon -any subject to apeak briefly. One-fourth of a column is the beet length for a com munication. a half column Is the next best, three- fourths tbe next beet, and anything that reaches a col- The Reunion at Brandy Station. Arrangements are being perfected for the reunion of the Federal and Confederate forces which participated In the battle of Brandy Station .on the anniversary of tbat bloody event. August 9 next, and considerable Interest Is bylng manifested In the approaching occasion. Phillips’ Legion and Cobb’s Legion, made up of Geor gia men, participated In this great battle, and it-ls desired that as Jarge an attendance as possible shall be secured. Jeff Davis'Legion was also a participant In the battle, and it Is hoped that 'the survivors of that command will also bc'present. Dr. C. F. D’AlvIgncy, of this city, has been In corre spondence with Adjutant W. P. Hill, of A. P. Hill Camp No. 2, of Culpeper. Va„ who announces that one of the objects of the reunion will be to Identify snd mark the locations of special Interest on the battlefield and thus preserve their historical status. The Southern railroad will give special rates fqr the occasion and accommodations at a low rate will bo provided at Culpeper, 1 os' well as at -Brandy. Station, which Is now a town of considerable Importance. It la desired to know as early as possible Just how many veterans will attend. Phllllpa' Legion waa composed of Infantry snd cav alry, and waa commanded by Colonel William Phllllpa, of Cobb county. t The lieutenant colonel was Seaborn Jones, of Polk county; John B. Wllcoxson, of Coweta county, was tbe major, and James H. Lawrence, of Floyd county, was the adjutant. The legion consisted of ten companies snd were mustered Into service on the 11th of June, 1861. They were prepared for active service at Camp Mc Donald at Big Shanty. From there they were ordered to Lynchburg, Va. In January, 1862, the legion was sent to the coast of South Carolina. While there the legion formed a part of the brigade of General T. F. Drayton. While the legion waa In South Carolina there waa a change of Its Held officers, occasioned by the resignation of Lieutenant Colonel Jones and Major Wllcoxson. Captain W. W. Rich, of Csss (now Bartow) county, waa promoted to the position of lieutenant colonel, and was assigned to the command of the cavalry companies of the legion. There were two companies of cavalry added to them, making six, which entitled them to a lieutenant riolonal and a major, forming a battalion of cavalry. Captain William B. C. Puckett, of Cherokee county, waa promoted to the position of tnajor In September. 1862. In July, 1862, General Drayton received orders to proceed with his brigade to Virginia, and report to General R. E. Lee for duty. From that time the Infantry and cavalry of the legion were separated, and a later order from the secretary of war created them as separate and distinct organisations, so far ss each other was concerned. The cavalry under Major Puckett arrived In Shep- herdstown In time to engage In -dr- battle of Sharpsburg. The cavalry battalion participated In all the flghla In which General Wade Hampton's brigade waa engaged In Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania Rev. W. K. Jones, of this city now, was the chaplalo of tbe battalion. Tbe captains were James H. Nichols. Thomas O. Wilkes. Ell C. Hardin. R. L. V. Umg, A. F. Hnnter and W. K. Thomas. The Cobb Legfon waa an organisation similar to Phillips' Legion. It was organised In 1.861 by Thomas R. R. Cobb, a distinguished lawyer of Georgia. In the organ isation of hla legion the Fulton Dragoons had a plaee. Several'of the survivor* of the old company, Fnlton Dragoons, are now living In thla city. Major Z. A. Rice, who died here last year, was one of them. Dr. Charles. D’AIvtgney is now living here, and la a prominent and Influential citlsen. Cobb'f Legion was one of the distinguished and famous commands of the Southern army. ■ It was com posed or some of tbe beat of our Southern people. The legion being organised, went to Richmond and airy In November, 1864. and Jn December of tho same year be was promoted to major general of cavalry for his brave and gallant action In-battle. After tbe battle of Cold Harbor General Cobb was ordered to bold the main road leading from Cold Harbor to the white bouse. In the afternoon of that day Geueral Jackson sent Major Fltzhugh to General Cobb for a squadron of cavalry to support a battery on General D. H. Hill's left flank. General Cobb ordered squadron B to report to Major Fltzhugh. Squadron B consisted of two cavalry companies of Cobb's Legion, and the designated squadron waa the Fulton Dragoons. They had to pass through and under heavy shelling from the federal guns and their duty was to support a battery of the famous Washington Artillery, which was In danger of being flanked by federal' cavalry. The Squadron B remained there until the last gun waa fired, arid then, with General Stuart, they followed the retreat ing enemy. v Major. Fltzhugh, some time after that, remarked to Captain Z. A. Rice, of tbo Fulton Dragoons: "Do you know that General Jackson paid your squadron a high compliment at the battle of Cold Harbor? He saw your squadron as you were passing through that storm of Iron hall, and he remarked that your squadrot) would do to treat.” The Home for Old Women. •In another column of The Georgian appears thla afternoon a brief survey of the history of the-. Home for Old. Wpmen, conducted by the Gordon Circle of King's Daughter. , This, noble Institution Is now In its second year, and during that time has cared for twenty-six inmates, fif teen, of .whom are still wards of the Gordon Circle. Partlcujar attention Is directed to the fact that the period of one year, for which the house now occupied by tlfe Home was granted rent free by the owner, will expire ion August 1, and It will be necessary before that time .-to make other arrangements. The circle has on hand about 21,800 and pledges of 2985 more aa a nucleus of a building fund. The women In charge of this noble work are mak ing heroic efforts to raise a sufficient amount of money to warrant them In erecting a permanent and adequate home for old women. Ten per cent of the proceeds of the Nathan bakery, at 75 Peachtree, on the opening day next Thursday, will be devoted to thla cause. Similar entertainments are given from time to time to meet the operating expenses of the home and to raise funds for tbe proposed building. There Is no worthier charity than this Old Woman's Home In all Atlanta and It deserves the cordial support of the people of this community. It Is taking care of the feeble and destitute who have no one else In the evening of life to care for them, and surely this should appeal to the deepest sympathies and best Impulses of our people. But one short month remains In -which to make the hecessary arrangements for the future. The Gordon Cir cle already baa large obligations on Its shoulders In can Ing for the fifteen Inmates of the home, and provision must be made, not only for these but for the larger num ber who are seeking admission. The Georgian commenda the movement to the people of Atlanta and hopes that It will soon be carried to a successful Issue. A CHARMING SUGGESTION FOR HOMECOMERS. To the Editor of The Georgian: The great success of the Kentucky home-coming and the honor shown to the Old Kentucky Home's author suggests that Georgia can more appropriately celebrate a home-coming thla fall at the state fair. John Howard Payne, the author of Home, Sweet Home, was a Georgian and la entitled to a monument for thla grand old song. Georgia has many distinguished sons dispersed through out the union and It would be very appropriate for our state to have a great home-coming of all the sons of Georgia to do honor to the memory of the author of "Home, Sweet Home." By all means let us erect a suit able monument to him In Atlanta and It could be un veiled some time during the state fair next fall with suit able ceremonies. It would draw gn Immense crowd to the fair and do much to promote enterprise and patriot ism. I hope your paper will take this tpatter up and make a success of It. Very truly yours, JAMES L. FORT. THE GEORGIAN STANDS FOR MORALITY. To the Editor of Tho Georgian: The publishers of The Atlanta Georgian are to be congratulated for the Important step they have taken for the cause of morality and sobriety In that they refuse to publish liquor advertisements. This noble example set by The Georgian should be followed by all newspaper men who recognize whisky as a great evil and all who profess to be against Its sale. Every editor before, accepting an advertisement from a liquor dealer should ask himself this question: Is It right to sell liquor? Does the person who accepts the terms of this advertisement receive the value of his money? Could I sell liquor and still have a good con science? Would the meek and lowly Nazarene handle liquor In any way If he traa upon the earth? It deep down In your heart, your answers to these questions are yes, then you can consistently publish liquor "ads," but If your conscience and reasoning pow ers answer In the negative then you cannot do so If you place any value on the merits of your paper at an ad vertising medium. If . you did not think you would enable the liquor dealer to Increase the sales of the damnable stuff that wrecka more homes, causes more crimes and destroys more happiness than every other Influence put together, you would be acting dishonest, for In that case you would accept hla money nnd give nothing of value in return. If on tbe other hand you Increase the sales of the bar keeper, the blood spilled on account of the Increase of sales made possible by the advertisement in a newspa per la upon the skirt of the publishers of the paper as well as upon the skirts of the saloon keeper. We are glad to see the sentiment against the liquor traffic growing stronger each day and hope to see the time soon come when all respectable newapaperi will refuse to aid the Ilqnor dealers In their unholy traffic by publishing tbelr alluring advertisements. We believe the temperance people of the state should show their appreciation of the noble stand they have taken at con siderable flnanctal lots by giving The Georgian their hearty support -and patronage. Statbam. Ga. WILLIE S. LANIER. THEN AND NOW. To the Editor of The Georgian: Referring to Constitution editorial of today on Mr Bryan: Should Mr. Bryan visit this city again soon what In your opinion would be the difference In the personnel of the rostrum from what It was on the occasion of his last visit, when he was forced to have a grocery man at tempt to Introdnce him and The Constitution and Tbe Journal gave him only small recognition?
