THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE “It la Indeed a desirable thing to be wall de scended, but the glory belongs to our ancestors." —Plutarch. What Congress Has Done. The first session of the Fifty-ninth congress, after sitting since early In December of last year, adjourned shortly before midnight on Saturday and the members haro gone to their respective homes to look sfter their fences. In many respects this eras one of the moet remark able eeealoni of congreas ever held. It wae notable both In achievement and In the amount of discussion In' duiged In on the subject of the various measures brought up for action. The Congressional Record will reach 10,000 pugea and the number of worda taken down by tbo ofll rl.nl stenographers reach the tremendous total of 40,000, 000. There can be no doubt that the nature of the Im portent legtsiaLon adopted haa carried the government further'toward centralization than It haa ever gone be fore. but It haa all come legitimately within the range of the constitutional provision which gives congress the right of regulating Interstate commerce, and the laws themselves were so salutary and eo essential that there hns not been the slightest apprehension on the part of tho South. indeed, the entire work of reform has been so dis tinctly In line with the policy which the Democratic par ty haa been endeavoring to secure for a weary while that tho Republicans themselves recognise the'fact, and It'bM been one of the humiliating experiences of the session that they have had to stand for the charge that they cribbed D....acral t thunder In working out reforms which they 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 and meat products; the adop tion of new laws relating to naturalisation; the reorgan Ixatton of the consular system; the enactment of pure food regulations; the establishment of national quaran tine; the admission of Oklahoma and the Indian Terri tory ns the forty-sixth state In the union, with the pro vision that Arliona and New Mexico shall vote separate ly on the proposition to be admitted as one state; the removel of V. > internal tax on denatured alcohol, and Anally the adoption of the lock type of canal acroee the lathmue of Panama. Twenty-one thousand bills were Introduced In the house, while 0,500 were offered In the eenate. Four thousand of these measures were enacted ' Into laws, of which three hundred were of a pubtlo nature. The entire attitude of the Fifty-ninth congress was one of strict crltlclam of the corporations, and one of the measures which promise to be most Important during tho daya to come la the resolution directing the Inter- Htate Commerce Commlslaon to Inquire into the relations of the common carriers with the great coal and oil pro ducing Industries. Host of the Important legislation haa revolved about tho functions of the commission, and the. railroad rate legislation was, of course, the moat notable. This act In creases the membership of the commission to seven, snd Increases the salary of .acb member to 510,004 a year. The new law broadens the term "common carrier" to Include express and sleeping cars, aa well as railroad urn! boat lines under a common management. It broad ens the term “transportation” to Include private car lines, elevators and all other means for the shipment of commodities. It provides that the rates shall be "reason able." It gtvee the Interstate Commerce Commission full power, upon complaint and after a hearing, to fix "a reasonable and -ist 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 commie- elon or. after review by the courts, la set aside. Appeals by either party may be taken dlroct from the lower federal courts to the supreme court within thirty daya. The commission !■ to haro aeceas at all times to the n cords of the common carriers. The law Is to taka effect on August 38. The bitterest Aght In congress perhaps was over the meat Inspection measure, but out of the turmoil has coma n bill which la fairly satisfactory. There la some regret that the packers are not required to pay the expenses of loapectlon, hut thl* Inspection will be thorough, at all hours of the day or night. On the whole It will he a great Improvement over the existing lewe. The pure food law la another piece of wboleaome leg islation. It provides a penalty for adulterated or mis branded food, supplementing the pure food lewe of the various states. The bureau of chemistry of the depart' meat of agriculture Is required to make examinations of food and drug* suspected of being adulterated or mis branded, ana when such la found to be the case tbs secretary of agriculture la authorised to certify the facta to tbo Ualted States district attorney for the district In which the violation Is alleged to have occurred. The new naturalisation law provides that no alien can become a cltlten unless he Is capable of apeaklag tho English language. A bureau la to be established for tho registration of a description of every alien entering our ports, and the law forbids tho naturalisation of any one who la an anarchist or advocates lawlessness or polygamy. The provision that all quarantine stations shall ba placed under the control of the secretary of the treasury also provides tor the transfer of state or local control of quarantine stations to the federal government, which i-hall have the right to establish other quarantine sta tions by condemnation or otherwise. Half a million dol- lar m la appropriated for carrying out this provision. The commercial world haa been particularly Interest ed In the repeal of the tax on denatured alcohol. This will reduce the coat of each alcohol—made nnflt fur use as a beats for beverages W patent medicines— from shoot 52.50 to 55 cents a gallon, and It will make It imeslble to use It for fuel and Illuminating purposes- It Is thought that this will deal a heavy blow to the 8tand- lard Oil and to all gat* rinmupollofl and materially reduce ! Goaf ?" the cost of all forma of trnnaportatlon and Illumination. This Is but a hasty review of what haa been accom- pllehed by tho Aral seaalon of the Fifty-ninth congress. Its enactments will go a long way toward ameliorating tbo condition of the peoplo and tho practical operation of tho lows will bo watched with considerable Interest. The County of Ben Hill. The Georgian understands that a strong offort will be made In the present legislature to create the new county of Ben Hill, and The Georgian li frankly and un hesitatingly In sympathy with the movement. The legislature last year left Its work only two- thirds done when It named two of Its new countlss after two of the great Georgia triumvirate, but omitted the third, and perhaps the greatest of the three. It was a splendid act of recognition to create tho counties of Bob Toombs and Alex Stephens, but the patriotic work was Incomplete and almoat slurred when the law-givers of Georgia forgot tomdd the name of Ben Hill. Alex Stephens was the great constructive statesman of his period. Benjamin Hill was tbo greatest orator, the finest analyst end the greatest leader of opposition that Georgia ever produced. Robert Toombs stood be tween the two with some of the qualities ot each, and with some qualities which neither of his great contem poraries possessed, but there was do greater Georgian than Benjamin Harvlo HIM. His speeches are the classics of Georgia oratory 1 ,.bis courage Is a part ot tho heroic history of the commonwealth, and bis logic and Indlvldu- allty will be remembered In Inspiration by the genera- tlons to come. The nomenclature of our stato divisions la Incomplete when It Includes a Toombs and a Ste phans, unless It should also add a Bsn HIM to the roster of Its county names. There seems to be no reasonable basis of objection !o this excellent bill. The citlxena of Irwin county liv ing In and around Fltigerald are asking the legislators to amend the oonatltutlon by creating 1 this county of Ben Hill. Senator! and representative! of both the new county and the territory taken from the old counties affected by the legislature are not only In favor of the measure but enthusiastically its advocates. ■■The county seat of Irwin Is the little town of Irwin- vtlle, 11 miles from Fltxgsrald, which It 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 ot tho superior court. - This measure was up before the last legislature and lacked only a single vote of passage. Under all these circumstances, It would seem to be a plain and easy map ter for the legislature to see Its way clear to gratifying and convenlenclng a large number of Georgia people, while at the same time they do tardy Justice to the mem ory ot one of the greatest and moat llluabioua Georgians of his own and of other times. We sincerely trust that the legislature may see this question In this way, and that one name, at least, and that the name of Ben HIM, ahall be added to the lllua- trioua Mat an the laat of the new counties to be created by tho state. We Omit a Communication. There are few men In Georgia for whom wc have a higher personal regard than Judge Enoch Calloway, ot Augusta, but we simply cannot And It good newspaper policy to give live and a half columns of our space today to the renewed expressions of Judge Calloway's opinion or Mr. Hoke Smith. Some weeks ago we published a three column article of Judge Calloway’s upon this theme and were glad to give it apace In our paper, aa Judge Calloway himself had recently been under Are ee a member of the state executive committee. To this article Mr. Hoke 8mlth bee never replied. If ha had, we should feel under some obligation to give Ave and a halt columns more to Judge Calloway, but In view of the faot that this la simply a renewal of criticism In anawer to Mr. Smith's criticisms upon the stump, end In view ot the feet that it covers so much of old matter along with the new matter which It Introduces, we Just simply cannot believe that the readers who pay for our paper would prefer to read five and a half columns ot Judge Calloway’s opinion of -Mr. Smith In these politi cal Qmea, rather than Ave columns of news and telegraph ic matter whleh we would be compelled to omit tn order to make room for Judge Calloway's comments. And eo, we believe that we do our best duty to our thousands of readers when we decide this question In favor of Ave column* ot new* and telegrams which come In conflict with Judge Calloway's always Interest ing opinions. Of cobrse. It Is a matter of regret to ne at any time to omit anything which Judge Calloway may offer to the public, and he may rest assured that any articles of hla which oome at reasonable length will have a wel come place In this paper es long re It Is published, but we submit to him and to our readers that we are doing the Journalistic end the proper thing when we choose live columns of news In preference to flvo end a half col- umns of opinion* 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 doee • t engage to exhaustively the processes of hla mind. Very much like the old minister I onre heard or. who went Into a groat free church to preach. Thin brother and that brother went to him with the request that he would not touch upon such and such questions because they were acute Issues In the church. At laat the old minister In dosperatlon asked. What shall I preach about? One old brother says. Give the Jews hell, there are none here No. Mr. Alexander, that was not your reason for criticising Mr. Fleming and The Georgian. What was It? Where Is the trouble? No man. says Mr. Alexander, can discuss In June, 1508, acute and momentous Issues with out being partisan, and Mr. Fleming's discussion of the question was wrong, because by a literal technicality be called no man's name In bis discussion. Thereupon Mr. Alexander removes the technicality and discloses the secret of his trouble by calling a name. From your logic, Mr. Alexander, It acorns tn me that free must tint bo 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, the wrong side of tho ques tion. Upon this subject I say Mr. Fleming had the right to discuss disfranchisement, or freight rates, If you please, from the university rostrum, from his standpoint, for I do not think Mr. Fleming la responsible for these Issues being partisan and I bellevo they would he more Intelli gently discussed and decided If they had been kept out of the piano of partisan politics. It seems to me the hon or of disfranchisement being an Issue ought to belong to the editor of The Georgian, for from what Information 1 have lu- was the first and most < mislMi'ii’ .. . .f the Ihsuc In Georgia. I will leave the elon of how It came to bo a partisan political latue to the Judgment of Mr. Alexander. Mr. Alexander says Mr. Fleming made Just as good an argument on the subject as can bo made, ami that It la not likely to In'ire the ruuw I," u"arked Well, then, what barm has his choosing disfranchisement for a subject, and his argument of the question done? Mr. Alexander further says he knows the minds of the peoplo of Georgia, and that they are going to eliminate tho negro as far as possible, from politics, and os far as that question la concerned he cared nothing about Mr. Fleming's spoech. Well, why did you go to the trouble to write a two-barreled column to The Georgian against It? If you will prove to the readera of The Georgian that you care absolutely nothing about it, then I will eat crow. In conclusion, Mr. Alexander lays it Is bis love for the university and free speech that prompted him to make this protest. Well, 5Ir. Alexander. If your eritlclama of Mr. Flem ing were all true, and If Mr. Fleming did blunder, there are Juat lota and lots of people In Georgia whom the university and Its speakers does aot directly affect, but there arp very few people In the atate that our news- papera ao not affect, and I trust The Georgian will con- tlnuh ' ‘ !•■■■■■■■■■■■■■ differently from Ms editor, for only from a view of both sides of a question can readers Intelligently decide what Is right.

Editor of The Georgian: • I am Inspired to write this article from having read Brother George A. Beattie's Sunday school lesson In Tho Oeorglan of the 23d. It is remarkably strange that pro fessing Christians are so deluded and blinded to the truth—as It Is revealed In tho Word of God—by the god of this world, the devil, as to misrepresent tbo Divine Character by holding Odd up to the minds of the young sb a God of hate and vengeance Instead of a God of love, by teaching the everlasting torment of tho wicked In a place or condition called hell. Even the childish mind would naturally rebel against the worship of such a cruel Acndlsh monster as the Lord's dear people, many ot them. Ignorantly claim him to he. by tho preaching and teaching of such unscrlptural doctrine*. I only wish to call attention to the latter part of the Sunday school lesson by Brother Beattie, where ho speaks of “Hell Fire." He says truly that "Gehenna" was a valley Just outside the walls of the City of Jeru salem, where all tbo flltb, garbage, etc., ot the city was consumed, destroyed, burned up. not preserved In any way. He says "we are not to understand that Christ intended to teach that there Is a literal hell Are where the Si.uls of the lost .'tie b'lrtli'd." Correct. “He llsea It only os a type or symbol of the sufferings they will endure." With all duo respect to the opinion ot Brother Beattie and all who believe as he docs, I must say that fhls last statement IS altogether unscrlptural. Cod dis honoring anil as false as the devil himself who origi nated It. Everything that wont Into Gehenna—tho val ley of Hlnnom- wan destroyed, not tormented, not pre- served la any sense. Hence our Savior used It as a symbol of destrucUon and not as a symbol of tormont or misery. Our Ixjrd used the same word. Gehenna, as a symbol ot destruction tn Matthew 10:28. whore ho says "Fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body In Gehenna," hell. Anything that is destroyed can't suffer. If man was Immortal then God could not detdrov him. ln-causo Immortal means death proof, and trie .Scriptures plainly teach us that "Cod only hath Im mortality.” Hence every being in the unlrOro*. BOB an gels and devils, are mortal, otherwise they would be equal with God, as Satan made Eve believe she would be by eating tho forbidden fruit. The fact that tbo devil le to be destroyed (Heb. 2:14) proves that angels are mortal, because he was once chief amongst them.

To the Editor of Tho Georgian: I note that an effort Is being made by a committee connected with the Atlanta Charitable Association, to use the ground surrounding tho schools for the purpose of public play grounds. This Is not an experiment In other cities and la not altogether a new thing In the city of Atlanta. For tbs past twelve months on the 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: Tho lot is the property of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company and was vacant, not being used. Con sent was obtained from tho president of this company to nis the ground end Improve etme, with the underetand- tng of course that at any time the company might wish to Improve It they bad tho liberty to take possession. Through the asslatanco of the cotton mill and also friends of tbo Sunday school, the ground! 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 In which the apparatus Is stored, rings, trapeze, boxing gloves, otc., etc., when not In use. This ground Is under the chargo of a committee of tbreo men residing In the neighborhood and also three boys. These boys through their Interest In the grounds and also lnduenco which they have over the chlldreh, 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 ot these play grounds throughout the city, especially In the factory district! where the poor people reside, ay they are unable to obtain tho advantages ot Grant' park, owing to the fact that their work hours are long, and they have not the necessary fundi to pay car fare to and from this park. If any of your readers wish to see these little folks enjoy themselves to tholr utmost capacity, they should visit this play ground some Saturday afternoon. Many cities are going to very large oxpense In the establishment of thoso public playgrounds to place them the lamb’s wife, will ever attain to the divine Immortal nature, which Is the reward of the church, and Paul tells ns we get it In the Arat resurrection—Cor. 15:63. God has nowhere at any time promised eternal life to the 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 hare to bo made partakers of the divine nn ture, which la Immortality, and an all-wise God could never be guilty of bestowing a part of hla own nature upon thA wicked In order that he might torment that part of his own nature In n hell of misery. Oh how com' pletely Satan baa blinded the eyes of those who profess to be servants of the living God and believers In Hie word. Hell Is described In the context aa a place of darkness instead of a place of lurid damn of Are. In another It Is described aa a place ot forgetfulness, where there Is no knowledge or wisdom. Instead of a .place of walling and gnashing of teeth. In fact, the word* which translate our English word hell have a directly opposite meaning to that given them; they do not haro the aig- ntAcance of torment In the remotest degree and cannot be made to have such a stgnldcance by translating them Into English. But let ue suppose that the doctrine ot the eternal torment of the wicked la true, what Is going to become of them when the devil and hell are both destroyed? That the devil Is to he destroyed Is clearly taught In tho Bible cannot be denied, as we read in Heb. 2:14, and others. Then In Hoeea 13:14, wo rend "O grave 1 will be thy destruction.” The word rendered grave here Is the Hebrew word sheol, and sheol, no matter what sheol la, or what sheol means, sheol Is to be destroyed, and sheol Is rendered hell thirty-one times tn tho Old Tes tament Scriptures- The doctrine of eternal torment should never be taught to children, or any one else, for It Is altogether unreasonable, unscrlptural, God-dlshonorlng and blas phemous, waa originated by the devil la the dark ages, promulgated by the apostate church and handed down to tho Protestant denominations as a legacy. The Immor tality of man (the old lie with which Satan deceived Eve In the garden of Eden) upon which the doctrine of the eternal torture of the wicked was founded, are the two principal foundation stones of tho apostate church and all thoso who come out of her. Hence they are doctrines of anti-Christ, the doctrines of devils. I challenge any one to refute a alnglo statement I have made tn thin article. J. C. C. CARLTON.
