Tho lint melon ot tbe Fifty-ninth congress, after sitting since early In December of last year, adjourned shortly before midnight on Saturday and tbe memben have gone to their respective homes to look after their fences. In many respects this was ona of the moat remark- ■hie sessions of congress ever held. It was notabla both In achievement anC In tbe amount of discussion In dolgcd In on the subject of thp various measures brought up for action. Tbe Congressional Record wilt reach 10,000 parcn and the number of words taken down by the offl- ci.-il stenographers reach tha tremendous total of 40,000,- 000 Thore can be no doubt that the nature of the lm- portent leglsiat.no adopted has carried the government further toward centralisation than It has ever gone be fore. but It has all como legitimately within the range of the constitutional proVlalon which gives congrats the right of regulating Interstate commerce, and the laws themselves were so salutary and ao essential that there baa not been the slightest apprehension on the part of tie South. Indeed, the entire work of reform baa been eo dis tinctly In line with the po'lcy which tbe Democratic par ly has been endeavoring to secure for a wearV while that the Republicans themselves reedgnlse the fact, and It has Ima one of the humiliating experiences of tho session that they have had to stand for the charge that they cribbed D....jcra; v thunder In working out reforms which tjiey could no longer Ignore, The most Important measures were the adoption of a law regulating railroad rates;, one providing for a rigid Inspection cf meat nnd meat products; tho adop tion ot new laws relating to naturalisation; the reorgan isation of the consular system; the enactment of pure food regulations; the eatabllshment of national quaran- tfne; the admission of Oklahoma and tbe Indian Terri tory as the forty-sixth atete In the union, with the pro vision that Arisons and New Mexico shall vote separate ly on the proposition to be admitted aa one state; tbe removal o( t' > Internal tax on denatured alcohol, and Snelly the adoption of tho lock type ot canal across the •Isthmus of ‘ Twenty-one thousand bills were Introduced In the house, while 6,tOO were offered In tbe senate. Four thousand ot theie measures were enacted Into lawa, of which three hundred were of a public nature. | The entire attitude of the Fifty-ninth congress was one of strict criticism of the corporations, nnd ono of the measures which promise to be most Important during the days to come !■ tho resolution directing the Inter state Commerce Commlalaon to Inquire Into the relations of tbe common carriers with, tho great coal and oil pro ducing Industries. , Most of the Important legislation has revolved about the function* of the commission, and the railroad rate legislation was. ot course, the most notabla. Thla act In- creaaa* the membership of tho commission to seven, nnd Increases the salary of ach member to $10,000 ■ year. The new law broadens the term “common carrier” to include express and sleeping care,, as well aa railroad «ad boat lines under a common management. It broad ens the term “transportation” to Include private car line*. elevators and all other means for the shipment of commodities. It provides that the rates shall be "reason able It gives the Interstate Commerce Commission (nil power, upon complaint and after a hearing, to fix “a i< .-suitable and -ut maximum rate,” which shall take ef fect thirty days after the Issuance of the order, and re main in force two years unless changed by the commla- .lon <>r, after review by the courts, la set aside; Appeala by either party may be taken direct from the lower fe-I-tral courts to the supreme court within thirty days. Th. lommlaslon la to have accoss at all times to the record* ot the common carriers. The law la to take effect on August 28. The bitterest light In congress perhaps was over the meat Inspection measure, but out of the turmoil has come a hill which Is fairly satisfactory. There la some regret that tho packers arp not required to pay the expenses of Inspection, but this Inspection will be thorough, at all hoot s ot the day or night. On the whole It will be a great Iwi-rovement over the existing laws. The pare food law is another piece ot wholesome leg islation. It provides a penalty for adulterated or mls- brauded Pood, supplementing the purs food laws ot the \arlotiH nates. Tbs bureau ot chemistry ot the depart ment »r i-vrlculture It required to make examinations ot foo-l and drugs suspected ot being adulterated or ml*- branded, anc when such la found to be the case the secretary of agriculture Is authorised to certify the facta to th. United States district attorney for the district In which tbs violation Is alleged to have occurred. The County of Ben Hill. The Georgian understands that a strong effort will be made In the present legislature to create the now county of Ben Hill, and Tho Georgian is frankly and un hesitatingly In sympathy with the movement Tho legislature last year left Its work only two- tblrds done when It namod two of Its new counUes after two of the great Qeorgla triumvirate, but omitted the third, and perhaps the greatest of tbe three. It was a splendid set of recognition to create the counties of Bob Toombs and Alex Stephens, but the patriotic work was Incomplete and almost slurred when tho law-givers of Georgia forgot to add the name of Beo Hill. Alex Stephens was tbe great constructive statesman of bis period. Benjamin Hill was tho greatest orator, the flnest analyst and the greatest leader of opposition that Georgia ever produced. Robert Toombs stood be tween the two with some of the qualities of each, and with some qualities which neither of his great contem poraries possessed, but there was no greater Georgian than Benjamin Harvle Hill. His speeches ere tbe classics of Georgia oratory, bis courage Is a part of the heroic history of the commonwealth, and bis logic and Individu ality will be remembered In Inspiration by the genera tions to corns. Tho nomenclature ot our stato divisions la Incomplete when It' Includes n Toombs and a Ste phens, unless it should also add a Ben Hill to tbe roster of Us county names. There seems to be no reasonable basis of objection to this excellent bill. The cltlxena of Irwin county liv ing In and around Fltxgerald are asking the legislature to amend tha constitution by creating this county of Ben Hill. Senators and representatives of both tho now county and the territory taken from the old counties affected by the legislature are not only In favor of ths measure but enthusiastically Its advocates. The county seat of Irwin la the little town of Irwin- vllle, 11 miles from Fitzgerald, which Is a city of 8,000 to 10,000, and the people who And It necessary to visit the court house are without railroad facilities of any kind, while the hotel facilities In Irwin are wholly Inadequate to accommodate thoae who attend the regular sessions of the superior eourt • |Thls measure was up before the last legislature and lacked only a single vote of passage. Under all these circumstances. It would seam to he a plain and easy mat ter for the legislature to see Its way clear to gratifying and convenlendng n large number of Georgia people, while at the same time they do tardy Justice to the mem ory of one of the greatest nnd most Illustrious Georgians of hla own nnd ot other time*. We sincerely trust that the legislature may see this question In thla way, and that one name, at least, and that the name of Ben Hill, shall be added to the Illus trious list sc the last of the new. counties to be created by the state. crltlclHlng Mr. Fleming and The Georgian. What was It? Where Is the trouble? No man, says Mr. Alexander, can discuss In June, 1906, acute and momentous Issues with out being partisan, and Mr. Fleming's discussion of the question was wrong, because by a literal technicality he called no man's name In Ills discussion. Thereupon Mr. Alexander removes the technicality and discloses the secret of bis trouble by calling a name. From your logic, Mr. Alexander, It seems to mo that free speoch must not be partisan and that no man can discuss acute and mo mentous Issues without being partisan, therefore none but partisans should discuss this Issue. From my view point your trouble seems to be that Mr. Fleming dis cussed, from your standpoint, tbe wrong side of the ques tion. Upon this subject I aay Mr. Fleming had the right to discuss disfranchisement, or freight rates, If you please, from the university rostrum, from his standpoint, for J do not think Mr. Fleming Is responsible for these Issues being partisan and I believe they would be more Intelli gently discussed nnd decided If they had been kept out of tho plane of partisan politics. It seems to mo the hon or of dlsfrnnchlHemont being an Issue ought to belong to tho editor of Tho Georgian, for from what Information I have ho was the first and most consistent advocate of tho Issue In Georgia. I will leave tho question of how It camo to be a partisan iiolltlcal Issue to tho Judgment of Mr. Alexander. Mr. Alexander says Mr. Fleming made Just aa good an argument on the subject as can be made, and that it in tint Ilk--]-.- to Injure the cause be attacked. Well, then, what harm has hi. - housing -II fr.-iiici-ls-ii- iit for a subject, nnd his argument ot the question done? Mr. Alexander further says he knows the minds of tho peoplo of Georgia, and that they are going to eliminate the negro as far as possible, from politics, and as far as that question I* concerned he cared nothing abou^ Mr. Fleming's speech. Well, why did you go to the trouble to write a two-bnrrcled column to The Georgian against It? If you will prove to the readers of The Georgian that you care absolutely nothing about It, then I wilt eat crow. In conclusion, Mr. Alexander lays It Is his love tor the university and free speech that prompted him to make this protest WM. Mr. Alexander, If your criticisms of Mr. Flem ing war* all true, and If Mr. Fleming did blunder, there are Just lots and lots of people In Georgia whom the university and Its speakers does not directly affect but there are very few people In the state that our news paper* do not affect, and I trust The Georgian will con tinue to give us In Its editorial* the truth, as deduced from facta, even If It-la from a standpoint that bellevea differently from Its editor, for only from a view of both sides of a question can readera Intelligently decide what Is right. LEMUEL D. KING. Covington, Oa., June 26, 1906. We Omit a Communication. There are few men.ln Georgia fpr whom we have a higher personal regard than Judge Enoch Calloway, ot Augusta, but we simply cannot find It good newspaper policy to give five and >a halt columns of our space today to tha resawed expressions ot Judge Calloway’s opinion of Mr. Hoke Bmlth. Some weeks ago we published a three column article of Judge Calloway's upon this theme and were glad to give It space In our paper, as Judge Calloway himself bad recently been under fire aa a member of the state executive committee. , To thla article Mr. Hoke Smith has never replied. If he had, we should feel under some obligation to give five and a half column* moro to Judge Calloway, but In view of the fact that this Is simply a renewal of criticism In answer to Mr. Smith’s criticisms upon the stump, and In view of the fact that U covers so much of old matter along with the new matter which It Introduces, wa Just simply cannot believe that the readers who pay for our paper would prefer to read five and a halt columns of Judge Calloway's opinion of Mr. Smith In these politi cal times, rather than fir* columns of news end telegraph ic matter which we would be compelled to omit In order to mako room for Judgo Calloway’s comments. And so, we believe that we do our best duty to our thousands of readers when we decide this question In favor of five columns ot news and telegrams which come In conflict with Judge Calloway's always Interest ing opinions. Of course. It !■ a matter of regret to us at any time to omit anything which Judge Calloway may offer to the public, end he may reit assured that any articles of hla which come aGreaeonable length will have a wel come place In this paper as long rs It Is published, but we fubmlt to him and to our readera that we are doing tbe Journallatle and the proper thing when we chooee five columns ot news In preference to five and a halt col umns of opinions which almost any man can forecast be fore they are read. We trust sincerely that we shall hear from Judge Calloway at another time, and upon another subject which does t engage ao exhaustively the processes ot his mind. uew naturalisation law provides that no alien < an become a dtlsen unless he le capable of speaking the English language.

FLEMING'8 ADDRESS. To the Editor of The Georgia*; 1 do not agree with your position as regards th* disfranchisement of th* negro, but I assent to your posi tion In regard to 81 r. Fleming's speech last Tuesday—I do ao with respect for you and tor Hon. Hooper Alexan der. whose letter, criticising Mr. Fleming, and your edi torial, appeared In the Georgian yesterday. Aa for Mr. Fleming’s good taite In choosing a subject, I am willing to leave that to the judgment ot the late and lamented Walter Hill, who had such decided convictions upon questions that he would not vary from them Ur be gover nor of Georgia. As to the question back of good taste, which affects the rights of every citizen of Georgia—the alumni of the university, namely, Mr. Fleming’s right to speak upon—the queatlon that la acute In Georgia politics (although ao far as I am Informed Oeorgia la the only state that has made thla great question a political Issue), any dtlsen, says Mr. Alexander, has the right to express hla views. In his own time and place. But when he le given tbe sole opportunity to speak It la wrong to promulgate vlewe which cannot be answered upon equal terms, and The Georgian was equally guilty because Its editorial Indorsed Mr. Fleming's right thus to speak and choose. Why was It wrqng? Because, says Hr. Alex ander. the university rostrum ought to be one of the great free platforms of the state, and In the very next sentence tells us that In the very nature ot things It la Imposatble to give a hearing to both aides upon such an occasion. Therefore to make so address upon such an occasion for or against any vital lasu* Is a suppression ot free speech. , Pitiable university rostrum! Pitiful free speech! According to Mr. Alexander. Mr. Fleming ehould have cboeea a subject that would have renewed the filial and fraternal memories of youth. Yet. something tike “How Old Ann Was” or "Which la th* Butt End of a A PRACTICAL BREATHING 8P0T. To the Editor of The Georgian: I note that an effort la being made by a committee connected with the Atlanta Charitable Association, to use the ground surrounding the schools for the purpose of public play grounds. Thla Is not an experiment In other cities and la not altogether a new thing In the city of Atlanta. For -the past twelve months on tbe Marietta road, adjoining the property of the Exposition Cotton Mills, has been located a public play ground under the management of the Ex position Mills Sunday school. Those Interested In this movement operate on the following plan; The lot Is the property of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company and was vacant, not being used. Con sent was obtained from the president of this company to uso the ground and Improve same, with tbe understand ing of course that at any time tbe company might wish to Improve It they hnd tho liberty to take possession. • Through tbe assistance of the cotton mill and also friends of tho Sunday school, the grounds were Inclosed In fence and apparatus purchased and constructed. There Is a good ball park, also swings, Joggling boards and merry-go-round, and In connection with this Is the use of a house la which the apparatus Is stored, rings, trapeze, boxing gloves, etc., etc., when not In use. This ground Is under the charge of a committee of three men residing In the neighborhood and also three boys. These boys through their Interest In the grounds and also Influence whleh they have ovef the children, prevent any rowdyism, boisterous actions and destruc tion of apparatus. Your Journal could use its influence to excellent ad vantage If they would encourage the establishment of these play grounds throughout the city, especially In the factory dlstrlots where the poor people reside, as they are unable to obtain tho advantages ot Grant park, owing to the fact that their work hours are long, and they have not tbe necessary funds to pay car fare to and from this park. If any of your readers wish to see these little folks enjoy themselves to their utmost capacity, they should visit this play ground some Saturday afternoon. Many cities are going to very large expense In the establishment of these public playgrounds to placo them MEN ADMIRE NEATNESS IN WOMEN. A young man has written asking my ■dvlce as to the wisdom of breaking his engagement. He lays that he laves his sweetheart, but that she Is so distressingly untidy that he fesre he could never live hap pily with her. He has spoken to her time and again about this serious fault, but with no good result. I cannot advise hint to marry her, for I know that no girl who Is untidy shout her person and the house could make a good wife. She could not make a man comfortable, and no man's love Is proof against discomfort. Untidiness also means extravagance, and an extravagant wife le a drawback to any man. Thla young men differs In nowise from hla fellow-men.. There is no men living who does not dlellke slovenli ness and untidiness In a woman. No matter how pretty a girt may be. If ahe Is untidy It seriously detracts from her beauty. The plain girl, of course, can still Iras afford to be untidy, but ehe nee* have no qualms about being pleasant to look upon If she keeps herself exqui sitely neat and dainty, for neatness snd daintiness have a beauty all their own. Many a man’s Interest In a girl has been checked because he found her to be untidy about her home. In a town where I used to visit there lived a family of charming girls. They were pretty snd bright, and al ways surrounded by young msn. • But they did not seem to marry. Other girls less attractive married, but these three pretty jtlrie, though ap parently great belles, remained sln- Kl l' asked a young man friend what the cause of It was, snd ha said that all ths men were afraid to marry any of them because they were so notoriously untidy. “They are pretty and Jolly.” he said, "but they are untidy personally, and th* house Is abominably untidy. I do not bsilsve the window curtains have been washed In years, snd there are dust snd dirt In every- corner. No man would core to trust hla future to such shiftless extravagance snd discomfort." So you see. girl*, good looks snd good manners are not th* only qualities req uisite th the winning of s husband. The sensible msn looks for * girt who will be * good wife as well os ■ charming companion. Neatness Is th* foundation of good style In dress. A gown may be absolutely up to date la every respect, but If It it pul on In a slovenly fashion the wearer will have no style. Unblsckened eboea or worn-out glov* TEACHING CHILDREN TO HATE GOD. Editor of The Georgian: , I am Inspired to write this article from having read brother George A. Beattie's Sunday school lesson In The Georgian of the 23d. It Is remarkably strange that pro fessing Christians are so deluded and blinded to the troth—as It Is revealed In the Word of God—by the god of this world, the devil, as to misrepresent the Divine Character by holding God up to the minds of tho young as a God of hate and vengeance Instead of a God of love, by teaching the everlasting torment of the wicked In a place or condition called hell. Even the childish mind would naturally rebel against tho worship of such a cruel fiendish monster os the lord's dear people, many of them. Ignorantly claim hint to be. by the preaching and teaching of such unacrlptural doctrines. I only wish to call attention to the latter part of the Sunday school lesson by Brother Beattie, where he speaks of "Hell Fire." He says truly that "Gehenna" was a valley Just outside the walls of the City of Jem* salem, where all the tilth, garbage, etc., of the city was consumed, destroyed, burned up, not preserved In any way. He says - 'we are not to understand that Christ Intended to tench that there Is a literal hell fire where tho souls.of the lost are burned.” Correct "He usea It only as a typo or symbol of the sufferings they will endure.” With all duo respect to the opinion of Brother Beattie and all who believe as he does, I must say that this last statement Is altogether unacrlptural, God-dls- honorlng and as faUe as the devil himself who origi nated It- Everything that went Into Gt%enna—tho val ley of Hlnnom—was destroyed, not tormented, not pre served In any sense. Hence our Savior used It as n symbol of destruction and not ns a symbol of torment or misery. Our Lord used the same word. Gehenna, ns a Symbol of destruction In Matthew 10:28. where ho says "Fear him who Is abb- m destroy both soul and body In Gehenna." hell. Anything that Is destroyed can't suffer. If man was Immortal then God could not destroy him, because Immortal means death proof, and the Scriptures plainly teach us that "God only hath Im mortality." Hence, every being In the universe, men, an- gel< and devils, nre mortal, otherwise thoy would be equal with God. as Satan made Eve believe ahe would be by eating the forbidden fruit. The fact that tho devil Is to bo destroyed (Heb. 2:14) proves that angola are mortal, because he was once chief amongst them. Then we, the church, are admonished to "seek for glory Immortality, eternal life." Why seek for that we are already In possession of? None but the church, the brldo, tho lamb's wife, will ever attain to tho divine Immortal nature, which Is the reward of the church, and Paul tells us we get It In the first resurrection—Cor. 16:63. God has nowhere at any time promised eternal life to tbe wicked anywhere In any condition, not even In a hell of torment; and If the wicked are to be preserved anywhere In any kind of torment eternally they would necessarily haro to be made partakers of tho divine na ture. which Is Immortality, and an all-wise God could nover bo guilty of bestowing a part of his own nature upon tho wicked In order that he might torment that part of his own nature In n h6ll of misery. Oh how com pletely Satan has blinded the eyes of those who profess to be servants of the living God and believers In His word. Hell Is described In the context as a place of darkness Instead of a place of lurid flame of fire. In another It Is described as a place of forgetfulness, where there is no knowledge or wisdom. Instead of a placo ot walling and gnashing of teeth. In fact, the words which translate our English word hell have a directly opposite meaning to that given them: they do not have the sig nificance of torment In the remotest degree and cannot be made to have such a significance by translating them Into English. But let us suppose that the doctrine of the eternal torment of the wicked Is true, what Is going to become of them when the devil and hell are both destroyed? That the devil is to be destroyed is clearly taught in tho Bible cannot be denied, aa we read In Heb. 2:14, ami others. Then In Hoses 13:14, we read “O grave I will be thy destruction.” The word rendered grave hero Is the Hebrew word sheol, and sheol, no matter what shcol Is, or what aheol means, sheol Is to be destroyed, and sheol Is rendered hell thirty-one times In the Old Tes tament Scriptures. The doctrine of eternal torment should never bo taught to children, or any one else, for It Is altogether unreasonable, unscriptural, God-dishonoring and blas phemous, was originated by the devil In tho dark ages, promulgated by the apostate church and handed down to the Protestant denominations as a legacy. The Immor tality of man (tbe old lie with which Satan deceived Eve In the garden of Eden) upon whleh tha doctrine of the eternal torture of tho wicked was founded, are the two principal foundation stones of tbe apostate church and all those who come out of her. Hence they are doctrinea of anti-Christ, the doctrines of devils. I challenge any one to refute a slnglo statement I have made In this article. J. C. C. CARLTON. College Park, Go. MANY IMPORTANT BILLS A RE PA SSED B Y CONGRESS President Roosevelt Says the Session Dis played Good Statesmanship—Much Money Appropriated for Various Undertakings. By Print* L#n#ed Wire. Washington, July 1.—President Roosevelt aay* that the flrat session of the flfty-ninth congress, which came to * close Saturday night, did more substantial work along the lines of “real constructive statesmanship" than haa been accomplished at any session of congress with which he Is familiar. Chairman Tawney, of the house ap propriation committee, says that the total appropriations made by congress for the fiscal year 1907, Including those carried In the regular appropriation acts, all deficiencies, miscellaneous matters and permanent annual appro priations aggregate $880,183,101. What'Congress Did. Here are some of the measures con gress enacted Into law: Railroad rate bill. Pure food bill. Meat Inspection bill. A uniform and more strict method of naturalising aliens. The Immunity of witnesses from prosecution who give testimony before government tribunals, the bill express ly stating when such Immunity ob tains and when otherwise. Lock Typo of Canai. bill removing the Internal reve nue tax on denatured alcohol. The lock type was selected for the Panama canal, and $3t.00Q,000 for the year was set aside for the work. It was required that material for the canal be of American manufacture, unless the president finds , the price ex cessive, In which case he Is given au thority to purchase abroad. The consular servtge was given a complete new legal status, which will permit an entire reorganisation. For Publio Buildings. Of the appropriations made, $25,000,- 000 will go Into new public buildings In various sections of the country. *The largest battleship afloat" was authorised, but before bids for Its con struction can« be submitted, congress must have approved the plans at its nest session. The annual appropriation for the state militia was doubled and hereaft er $2,000,000 will bf spent from the federal treasury for the purpose of keeping the state military organiza tions In touch with the regular army. Congress gave great care to the draft of a bill Intended to preserve the scenic beauty of Niagara Falls, and the meas ure was passed. For Jamestown Exposition. The tariff to be collected by tbe Phil ippine government on goods entering the Island trade was revised. A measure of Importance to railroad and other employees engaged In haz ardous employments, known as the employers' liability bill, became a law. The government will participate in the Jamestown Ter-centennlal Exposi tion and $1,325,000 was authorised ex pended out of the Federal treasury for that event. Speedy appropriations for the San Francisco sufferers resulted from re quests by the president. Two and a half million was donated directly and supplies from the stores of the govern ment nearly equaled that amount Private pension legislation for the benefit of the old soldier who Is unable to receive a' pension under the statute laws kept up Its usual heavy pace.
