THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE Summer friendship, Whose flattering leaves that shadowed us Ip Our prosperity, with the taaat gust drop off In th’ Autumn of adversity. —Philip Massinger Atlanta’s Prosperous Banks. The statement of the condlUon of the banka of At lanta, published In Tbe Georgian on yegterday, Is a gratl lying sign of the prosperity which the city how enjoys. Without exception the officers of these banks an nounce that their banks have declared large semi-annual dividends, reaching as high as 5 per cent, and have fur thonaore carried a handsome sum to tbe surplus ae- count The amount of money turned loose In dividends dur* Ing tho past few days by these prosperous banks amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars, while the aurplus put away goes to establish still further the sta bility of the varloua Institutions. As an Indication of the general prosperity of the city those statements are particularly gratifying. The banka themselves could not prosper unless the various lines of industry and oommerce were also prospering, all of which merely comes as a confirmation of the healthy con- dlilons which were already known to exist With our bank clearances growing every week at a prodigious rate and the dividends and aurplus accounta Increasing, there Is every reason for us to feel proud and happy. This perhaps would be a fitting time to express an ap preciation of the high class of bank official! In Atlanta who have the management of these essential Inatltutlons In charge. Wo willingly challenge comparison with the bank officials ot any other city In the United States, with com fldence that tho estimate ot our own will be confirmed. They know how to onjoy life, as Indicated whon they met here recently In their annual convention, nnd In bush ness hours they know how to conduct their business with a duo regard for tho beat Interest! ot the people and the Institutions themselves. Their record thus far this year la highly gratifying, and Is but an earnest of what they are yet to do. Tho Fourth of July edition* of The IJndalo Free Lance, consisting ot thirty-two pages In red, white and blue. Is one of the most excellent special number* of i lie present summer. It Is profusely Illustrated and con' tains a number of special articles setting forth the proa perlty of that community and of the state at large. Tbe Freo' Lance la ss full of enterprise as dynamite Is of danger. The Death of Manuel. Garcia. I The death of Manuel Oarcla, which occurred on the first day of the present month, at hit home In London, removes one of the most remarkable men of the present century. He was born In Madrid on March 17, 1805, and so wag more than 101 years of age. It la to the family of which he was a member that we owe the Introduction ot Italian opera to thla country. 8enor and Senora Oarcla, their daughter Maria (the Mallhrsn), Crivclll, Angrisanl. Barblert and Rostch, and young Manuel Oarcla, the subject of this notice, and the baseo ot the troupe left Liverpool on a'packet boat In August, 1886. and after five weeka reached New York. Here the Brit Italian opera troupe was organised, and from November 28 or 88. 1886, until September 30, 1686, pn'O performances In the Park and Bowery theaters ot the then days. A theatrical notice which tells much ot the Oarcla family as It was in the days of long ago follows: In tho year 1836, on November 30, at the old Park theater In New York, there occurred one ot the most memorable operatic performances ever known, namely, tlie first American production of Rossini's "Barber ot Se nile,” by the celebrated Oarcla family. No leu than four of the principal roles were suns by members of tills remarkable family ot vocalists. Senor Oarcla, tha father, one ot th* greatest tenon that ever lived, tak lug the part of Count Almavlva; Senora Oarcla, th* mother, a superb contralto, that of Dr. Bartolo's house keeper; Maria Fellclta Oarcla. the divine songbird who wan soon destined to attain world-wide fame as Mine. Mallbran, that ot Roslna. while her brother, Manuel Oar- rtn. a magnificent barytone, took the part ot the wily barber. Ft-taro. Garcia sung In the troupe for several years In this country and in Mexico, and then returned with hla fa ther and the other lingers to Europe, In 1880 he re tired from th* stage and took up tho profession of a teacher of muale and singing. He went deeply Into the anbject he wet to teach, lie attended hospital tuts and examined In the body the inner layer* of th* abdominal muscles and the inter, costal system, so as to get at the mechanical breathing operation In connection with dlapragmatic action. ■■ He analysed the three-tone prop*rile*—pitch, timber anu Intensity. He defined resonance ae "the reinforce ment ot a tone by a quality of confined air, the rat* of vibration of which Is the same as that ot the tone rein- forced.** The culmination of his studies was the invention of the laryngoscope, an instrument for the Inspection of the larynx. Garcia's hundredth birthday waa celebrated last year, when be was decorated by King Edward, Emperor William and the King ot Spain. King Edward received hint In Buckingham Palace and bestowed on him th* pommanderahlp of the Victorian Order. Later bo attended a reception held under th* ana- j.lms of the Laryngologies! Society, where he received an enthusiastic welcome from a number of distinguished i During th* reception the Spanish charge d’af- folres. tbe Marquis le VUIalobar, Invested him, in behalf King Alfonso, with tbe Royal Order ot Alfonso XII, Profc Flif hit, of Berlin, representing Emperor < The Lindley Murray of Park Row, We pause in the busy routine long enough to direct public attention to this choice bunch of words ottered by the great Galahad of "English undefiled," that very Zollus of parts of speech, tbe New York Sun: ''.Hlssowath, King of Cambodia, Is now visit ing France, accompanied by some of his "hallo- rinl,” than whom there are none In the world to remarkable for sumptuous attractiveness.'' We havo long been persuaded that The Sun was the Orest Cham of dally literature “than whom" thero “are' no one In the world "so" remarkable for aumptuous beauty and recondite learning, but this new combination of singular plurals and mlsmated comparatives takes the worn worsted off tbe underbrush. It Is a combination. If not a form divine, calculated to make latter-day Quin Uliana stare and gasp. Those "ballerinr'—to use tho soft Tuscan term In which The Sun delights, when it Is discussing a Siamese subject In 8anakrit—may be very remarkable, but when the chief atomiser of pelncld speech reaches np Into tho head waters of the Castellan spring and brings forth a calabash of sparking word-drops, we needs must recog nise him as an adept “than" whom there "are" no one “so” remarkable In all tbe cosmogony of tongnes. We would never know when the old rules of gram- mar were amended or repealed if The Sun Itself did not sit like a sentinel on the watch-tower and give notice when some butcherly scribe committed a solecism, split ting his Infinitives, mayhap, with an abandon which Indi cated that he ought to be spllttlpg wood. But Tbe Sun voluntarily maintains Its place on this commanding emi nence and keeps watch and ward over the world ot letters. We may wake up In tbe night with a sickening sense that somebody Is taking liberties with Lindley Murray or using the tempered stylus of Cyrus Townsend Brady for a can-opener; but a moment later we reflect that Th* 8un's young men “than” whom there “are" no one In the world “so'' remarkable by reason ot very brightness— are, like Achates, faithful to th* tomb, so wo turn over and go to sleep again. ^■The beneficent labors of The Sun do not end here. It keep* ui In touch with the best poetic thought ot the day. Like the proprietors ot Warren's blacking, ‘‘they keops a poet of their own,” who dashes off little piece* for the paper as easily as ‘‘Big Tim" Sullivan makes a speech or "Little Tim” applauds It But to add variety to the column ot poems really and truly worth reading It oc casionally goes out Into a neighboring garden and plucks little nosegay like this, for Instance: Greetings to the Rural Carriers. The Georgian extends Its heartiest greetings to the rural mall carriers who have assembled In annual con vention from all over tbe state in Atlanta today. Tbe program outlined for them during this patriotic birthday of tho nation combines business and pleasure and promises to bo one long to be remembered. This Is as It should be. The gentlemen composing the roster of rural mall carriers of the state of Georgia aro among the most progressive, Industrious and Intelli gent to bo found In any walk of life and they are con' tribnUng more and more every year to the growth and prosperity of the state. It would bo difficult to overesUmate the Importance of the rural free delivery system throughout the country. It has succeeded In bringing tho country nearer to the city and thus has contributed In no Inconsiderable degree toward the dissemination of Information and the pleasures of country life. The day of Isolation and the limited op portunities for keeping abreast of the times Incident to tho old system aro already a thing of the past The country gentleman may now enjoy all the advantages of rural life and at the same time keep closely in touch with the outside world. He has his dally paper, his dally letters, and bis mall order purchases from the larger centers, all of which mako him Independent and happy— far happier, perhaps, than bis brother In the crowded cities. The rural carriers are, of course, Important function aries In this •system. They discharge their duties not only with fidelity, but with a keen Intelligence and a de sire to be of genuine service to the people whoso wants they supply. Thoy are mighty factors for tho upbuilding of the country as a whole and they are entitled to their full share of praise. We trust that their stay In the city w'lll bo pleasant and that they will enjoy every moment of the day as outlined In the general program. The army of Georgian carrier boys, on their Fourth of July outing, wore one of the notable features of the day. If there Is anybody on earth who can get enjoy ment out of a holiday It Is a healthy, hefty young Amer ican, and he was In his element today. MESSENGERS. (Love’s boldness Is Its own excuse: And Sincerity ne'er sues for pardon.) Ah Roses, Tare and pink, thou art ever dear to me; Are, my purest gift from God’s bright realms above; Then come thou near—I've a secret to Impart thee Entreating that thou bear it hence to her, my Love. O come, thou, nearej still and raise thy lips to mine. That, la ono dear moment ot sweetest, wildest bliss. My heart’s pure love may flow Into the depths of thine: And, departing, may thy petals bear the Impress of'my kiss. Thence to her, betake thyselves, on pinions light and swift Delaying not till Into her sick-room thou art borne; Then, close beside her cheeks thy drooping bends uplift, And, whispering, breathe thy heart's sweet secret unto her alone. —CALVIN F. CARLTON. “We walked the blossom mates dreamily. What time the day hod reached Its crimson close,, When she, with gracious smile, bestowed on mo A wondrous flower, the garden's fairest rose.

But over whatever name or under whatever title It might appear, there .could be no doubt of the originality of the Idea. There Is, to be sure, an obscure little jingle about "queen-rose In tho rosebud garden of girls" which used to be current a number of years ago, and thoro Is a lumbering line of more ancient date about Prose rpln whoover she wae—"gathering flowers, herself a fairer flower.” 8he was merely picking blackberries, compared to the conaummate art with which The Son's most dainty Ariel gatherod this cluster ot Malmalsons.

Honors for John Bible. We are Indebted to our contemporary, the South Ful ton Enterprise, for the story of the remarkable success and growth which ha* come to a young cttlxen of Fulton county In the state of Michigan. John F. Bible waa a mere boy when he located at East Point twenty-eight years ago. Young as be was, he made upon tbe East Pointers an Instantaneous Impres sion tor manlinessi- high character, quick decision and alert Intelligence. These qualities so Impressed hla fellow eltltens that the young man waa Intonated with the deli cate work of writing the charter tor Bast Point, and tbe charter, Just as written by his band, passed the Georgia legislature and became th* law ot the town. Mr. Bible was one ot the first members of the city council, and when the city council waa elected, th* first mayor becoming Incapacitated from service, John F. Bible was elected a* hla successor. No undertaking was too great, no detail too trifling tor this Indefatigable worker In behalf ot hla community and bis friends. From a responsible position with one ot th* large manutaetorlea at Eaat Point, he yet found abundant time help develop tbe life and the laws of th* little city which he lived, and when he left East Point no man's departure was ever more regretted and no man's character left more durably In th* reepect and confi dence of hla fellow eltltens. Mr. Bible went from East Point to loola, Utah., and Utat Republican stronghold speedily and twice In suc cession elected him Its Democratic mayor by over whelming majorities. Two years later be was chosen president ot th* League of Michigan Municipalities, giving five yean of splendid service to good government and to th* prin ciples ot tbe Democratic party. He was honored shortly afterwards with th* nom ination tor lieutenant governor on the Democratic ticket that state, and a well founded rumor comes back Georgia that at the next state convention, the Mich igan Democracy will Indorse John F. Bible, late of Bast Point, for vice president as the running mate of wil liam J. Bryan. Rarely among th* young men who have gone out from thla community, have character, decision, energy. Integrity and fine, alert Intelligence been more swiftly and more substantially rewarded than In this young Georgian who now represents our commonwealth In tha distant state of Michigan. WATSON AND CARTER, To the Editor of The Georgian: There seems to be a general disposi tion running through the human fam ily to "taffy” a fellow more, when you want him to do something. We are always ready, I suppose It Is human nature to be encomiastic when we have on "ax to grind.” This Is not my purpose when I say toot the columns of no paper In the etate of Georgia, or In the South are more Just In their Intelligent expression of opinions than The Georgian. It stands out superbly, magnificently and alone. Now. there Is no necessity for my championing th* cause of the Hon. Thomas E. Watson, the most gifted historian In th* Bouth, a gentleman whose escutcheon la unspotted, whose Integrity la conceded, even by his ln- tslllgent opponent. Now In the days when he waa lead ing the Popullet party, he was the great Jupiter. In tho** stormy days that tried the souls of splendid m.|i, there w*r* a lot of small satellites that twjnkled around and about him. They were falling over each other, eager to touch the honest hems of his clean garmentr Bom* of them, while thla eloquent tribune waa touring the state rediscovering the old landmarks of Jeffersonian Democracy, attained some political distinction. There Is one case about which I desire to apeak. It was In the Thirty-first senatorial district, the Hon. Yancey Carter was the Popu list nominee for the senate In that dis trict. He would never have been elect ed.had It not been for the fact that this gifted orator, this polished publicist delivered two noted speeches In his district. Thla, I believe, was the first time Air. Carter was ever a candidate for a public office, and he was elected as a result of Mr. Watson's logical exposition of Populistic principles. Then Mr. Carter tried It alone. He quit tho party that ho once loved so dearly, nnd went back to the Demo cratic {tarty, sought the nomination for the legislature In th* Democratic primary and was disastrously and overwhelmingly defeated. From that time on. down until the time that Mr. Carter became a candidate for sheriff, he was considered a Democrat. In this county's primary, for county of fice*,, he was again overwhelmingly de railing to carry his own home finliC precinct Mind yon he was In thla primary ns a Democrat. When the Popullet party men. In ex ecutive session In Atlanta, at the Kimball House, In room No. 4, he there meets with them to woo and love again hla old Populist sweetheart The Indications were that the fair maiden refused to flirt with him. Hav ing been repudiated by the Democratic party, and falling to be made one of Us leaders, he seeks now to reorgan ise the disintegrated remnants of th* Populist party. No longer than yes terday I waa asked: "Hairston, are you going to Join the Yancey Carter wing of the Populist party?” Thla wing Is noted only for Its fragility. The Populist party has at last been absorbed by the fol lowers of the Immortal Jeffersonian principles, and those who have strayed away have returned horns, and not even can Yancey Carter lead them astray. Nobody knows better than Captain Carter that he could have never been elected without the match- less advocacy of the peerless Watson. Let us be fair: the Interest of the people Is at stake, the rights of the masses are In jeopardy, the ambition of no on* man should com* between tha masses and their unalienable rights. Watson, during the recent Populis tic campaign battle, was Its great cus todian, and many of the little etump speakers would read th* People's party paper and charge their pop guns and go to tha militia district court ground to defend the cause they loved so «&tll; Carter used to do this himself. Nearly all th* literature we had In those days was furnished by Thomas E. Watson. Now, If Mr. Carter loves those principles and wishes to see them triumph, why doss he not proceed to affiliate with th* most available man? Th* milk of the cocoanut Is: Mr. Car ter hate* Tom Watson. Now, this, I believe, to b* th* correct solution of Mr. Carter’s attitude In the campaign. In conclusion, when the little fel low* who are trying to traduce Mr. Watson, and malign hla spotless name —when they hare plaited their crown of thorns and placed them as they think upon Ms brainy head—when his wrsecutora are gone and forgotten— Us name will loom up In history as one of the grestert historian* and statesmen that the world has ever pro duced. With two yean' service In congress he gave us the R. F. D., and forced th* railroad* to place upon every box car an automatic car coupler—no man has ever don* more than this In a two years' congressional term, establishing th* fact beyond cavil, that he I* pre eminently a stats*man of the first wa ter. There are a great many things that we differ with Mr. Watson about, bat notwithstanding this fairness forces us to concede his unsurpassed ability, his honesty and unstinted love for the tolling masses from Alaska's Icebound shore* to Mexico's tropical clime, and we hall him as a great com- Respectfully, W. M. HAIRSTON. Carter’s History Reviewed To the Editor of The Georgian: Sir: I see you glvo W. Y. Carter space to try to make the Hon. Thomas E Watson look like thirty cents, so plsass allow ms space to say a few words in his defense, not but that he can defend himself, but there are a few things that must be said. Yancy begins by working himself Into a fren zy because Tom did not ask his and the other boye' permission to make that famous speech of th* let of September, 1104. But It seems that he made the speech and It wae well received; he (Carter) then goes Into spasms be cause Mr. Watson expected all Popu lists who then Indorsed him to stand by him now, and asks will they do it. which, I think, they will, as they are very much given to doing the thing that they Indorse, and also the other things that he said that coincides with their idea of right, and I know he would hav* them do no more. As to Mr. Watson's remarks about the crowd that led the fight for the Pop convention on July 4, next, he can not be far from tbe track. I know Yancy Carter; he Is a special personal friend of mine, and It Is a source of genuine regret that a circumstance should rise wherein I am called upon to call his attention to some things about his recent movement* Yancy, I did not knojv, neither do you, that Tom Watson knew what your political faith was when you first began to perform th* revenue stunt In these parts; moat people Just knew that you held an ap pointment under Buck, and you hare no right to exclude Thomas from the Hat. But w* do know that some time after that you were a Democrat, and after that a Popullet, running for the Georgia senate, and got elected by a small, very small, majority, and after that—oh, gracious I My head swims. Yes, Yancy, Tom Watson made two speeches In your senatorial district, and set forth the principles of Populism ns only Tom Watson could, and without which your name would havo been Dennis, while we will agree that he did not point you out and call you by name, he built th* stair by which you went up. He explained the principles and platform of Populism, and you were elected on this same platform; therefore, you owe your election to Tom Watson more than any on* man In Georgia: and remember you were elected on the Populist platform—anti- barroom plan. Not one voter In ten knew that you objected to the antl- berroom plan. I did not, and I was much closer to you than the average. Now, after you were elected, what sort of service did you give? The echo answers what sort? It le no part of my business to criticise your service In the Georgia senate. The voters hav* placed their criticism and sealed It with their disapproval, and that must be final. You offered for the legisla ture In 1(01, and was turned down. You offered In 1(00 for sheriff, and was overwhelmingly turned down, fall ing to carry a single district Now, as appears on the election returns of May 10, KOI, you could not get elected bailiff to tbs Justice court In your hnma Ala# idrtt Mnur I# (hi* ilnaan*!

Now, If this doesnt convince you that you are dead, you would not believe that you were dead If your head waa chopped off. Your tired legs had rested scarcely a week from your disastrous race In th* Dem ocratic primary until you were tearing down to th* city of Atlanta and getting yourself Interviewed and saying that there would be a full Populist ticket put In th* state after a little while. W* hear of you exclaiming with th* eloquence ot Demosthenes that It was not a question of votes, but a question of principle. Oh, the dear old Popu list party must be saved! My eon. about seven weeks ago you were mak Ing a noise Ilk* It was awfully a qu**' tion of votes: now, Yancy, you blow up ■o much hot sand about Tom Watson making a speech without asking th* boys whether It would do. Whom did you ask about this state Popullet tick et business other than Julian McCurry? 1 heard on Mojtday, th* 81th Instant, that you (to us* your own simile) were In th* bed and under th* “klver" with Julian preparing this tirade against Tom Watson, and when I look over It I see very much the tavor of both Its father and mother. Now, It seems that your humble correspond ent was big enough to be consulted In the matter of your race In the Demo cratic primary for sheriff; In fact, you consulted nil of us boys often and ear nestly, but since the 10th of May you don't se*m to consult anybody. Her* Is the Fourth of July right on ua No county convention called. In fact none wanted. Carter Is going to represent this county. In fact Carter I* th* whole show. Well, all right; you go on to tha convention Just by your lonely sell and then you wont be bothered with dissenting voice*, and put out a ticket and by all mean* you are th* man to run for governor, as you hav* nothing to lose, ao what yon gain will be all clear grin. There are several Democratic paper* that will blow your horn until th* 3Sd of August, but after that you and your atat* ticket wilt be heard from no more. Now, Yancy, you hav* a perfect right to do all thw* things, If you want to; but you must allow th* people to think lust what they pleas* about It, and don't you forget they are thinking! F. M. JOHNSON. Bowervllle, Ga, June 81. MY ANCE8TOR8. To the Editor of Th* Georgian: Being a plebeian, I am rather sensl' tlvo when the question of ancestry Is discussed. Once upon a time a lady boasted In my presence that she was descended from William tho Com quoror. "Please don't mind that,” replied with all the saccharlno bitter* ness I could Infuse Into my tones. "I’lmse don't mind that; I've lied some disreputable ancestors myself." Desiring, like most men, to trace my lineage from some distant even though dlsreputablo source, I was pleased when Herbert Spencer Informed mo that he was In doubt as to whether man is descended "from a soft-bodied worm or a crustacean having an exte rior skeleton.” But, alas! a reverend writer on CVO' lutlon In Saturday's Georgian shatters my pride, for he tells us that "Those who speak of man coming • • • froth any lower species of llfo do not under stand what evolution means." As Her bert Spencer, Lamarck. Darwin nnd some ten thousand other men of science. Including Huxley and Tyn dall, do not know what evolution means, and the reverend gentleman evidently does, I suppose that The grand Old 'Gardener and hla wife Smile at (my) claims of long descent.’ JAMES J.

Popular Science Monthly, February, 1901: "Many of our countrymen and countrywomen not only do not accept, they dq not even understand Darwin’s theory.

To the Editor ot Tbe Georgian: Because of your broad-mindedness and your wllllngnsse to serve th* peo ple, I will ask spoco In your papew to express a tow thoughts on the political situation as regards whnt I believe-to be the duty of tho Populist party, with regard to the action to be taken on the Fourth of July.

In fay judgment, very unwlne to put out a ticket at thle time, for the party t* disorganised and cannot possibly b* organised In six months, and tt would not only Insure the Populists' defeat, but It would ac complish what th* Democratic commit tee Intended by tbelr drastic actions, vis: the defeat of the people and the wrpetuatlon of ring rule In thla state. Let me say Just here that Democratic committee ought to be photographed and the picture hung up In the state cap ital, that future generations may look back and see how corrupt political mrtlta can become and how much was* a political ring can take on. I know there are sum* good tnen on It, but to think of such a thing as the political lobbyist of a trust and a lot more of railroad or trust attorneys being put on a committee to represent the people 1s enough to brine blushes to the face of a brass monkey. I do hop* that no such committee will ever be elected again. But back to the Populists. I think 1 am as true a Populist as ever lived, and I think any man that was ever a Populist from principle Is a Populist still, and ray Idea ot the duty of th* Populist now Is to go ahead and vote for the man In this contest that comas nearest representing their prin ciples There are two Issues In this campaign—the people ve. th* railroads and rings, and whit* supremacy vt. negro domination. Now, the first of these has been one of the Popullet demands ever atoc* th* party was organised. Now, for the Popullet* to fall to vote their convic tions la strange to me. Bom* excuse themselves by saying they do not be lieve In Hoke Smith. Sincerely, they speak *of his past opposition to th* party and his connection with the trusts, etc. To this I would say If h* had never been alloa-ed to enter the sanctum sanciorium of th* ring hs perhaps would nevtr hav* known of tbe corruption of the ring. In conclusion. I say to my brethren, th* Populists, lets all vote for Hoke Smith, because ot the principles he represents, burst up the ring In Georgia, then organize the Populist party In every county, not to act In a separate capacity, but to hold th* balance of power, and never let another ring man be nominated for any office In tbe state.
