The Claims of a Great School. The Georgian la In sympathy with tho noeda and as pirations of every school In Georgia, public and private. Wo believe In education, because we believe In youth and because we believe In the future ot the state. There never came to our ears an appeal from an edu rational Institution which did not reach our sympathy, and U our purses had been long enough, they would have received our substantial aid. We believe In a liberal and generous policy on tho part of the lawglveri of the atate toward every educa tional Institution which the state has In care. We bellcvo that to the very limit of the capacity ot the state's means and equipment It should help to build the educational Institutions for men and women which look to It for support, and we are quite confident} that no people and no constituency wilt ever criticise or con demn a public servant who deals In large mid-intelligent generosity toward every educational Institution of Georgia. But while we speak In theae general terms', there Is an institution which for many reasons Is peculiarly nenr to our Interest and affection. The Georgia Normal and Industrial School at MlHedgeville Is the only Institution In this state given up exclusively to the education of our young women In the Industrial arts and sciences that en able them to be self-sustaining In the world. Along this lino It makes tho highest and most practical appeal to tho Judgment and the patriotlani of every father, of every mother nnd of every public-spirited citizen In tho state. No school In Georgia of any grade or kind de serves more at the hands of tho state than, this girls’ Industrial Institute at Mllledgevllle, and this not less bo causo of lta unique and Isolated devotion to this phase of our young womon's development, but because of tho splendid merit and the magnificent work of the school. This Mllledgevllle school Is equal to any of Its kind In tho country, and In proportion to Its equipment wo do not hesitate to call It tho very best ot Its kind. Its fac-^ ulty. carefully reorganized and steadily Improved from year to yoar. Is now as completo, ns harmonious, ns ably equipped and aa effective a corps of teachers as can be found In the South. Its work Is ot the very highest and a man who Is now known to havo been entirely In- grade, nna the consecration and capacity ot lta Inetruc- nocent ot the charges laid against him was sent to the tors Is beyond cavil or criticism- most foorful and Ignominious punishment a devilish Tho school In Us present status Is overcrowded and | ingenuity could devise. In tho manly fortitude which inadequate to the Increasing demands which are being sustained him throughout the trying ordeal, we have had that the counsel for these bonds has made It clear that quarter Contributed to th<- household expenses? Welter still, perhaps, she might have bought twent they do not come under the same category as tho Bullock jaro to assume that she succeeded In reaching her future I worth of plain food and cooked It on the hearth bonds, and that the debt could not have been Incurred In the aid of rebellion, since It was authorized and In curred nearly fifteen months before the secession ordl nance, and even a longer time before the first gun Fort Sumter. It seems perfectly plain that 'the arms were purchased to protect the state against the antici pated dangers of a raid of outside fanatics or an upris ing of the slaves within the state. Under those circumstances, the debt appears to ev ery right thinking man to be one of peculiar and binding force upon the honor and the sentiment ot the state. The emergency that called for It was of a startling nature and born of an apprehension that wsb shared by every state In the South. The guns, while not bought for purposes of rebellion, were afterwards In tho early days of the war, put Into hands of the Confederate soldiers, who fought for their country and who were so scantily equipped for the battle. > Gallant old General Phil Cook, Introducing George Mattingly In 1876 to the'members of the Georgia legists ture, said: "It Is quite probable that I entered the ser vice with one of theso guns on my back, and If ao, would like for It to be paid for,” and we earnestly be lieve that this sentiment represents tho average senti ment of the Confederate soldier of that time and Of his honest descendants of today. It seems strange, that In the consideration of this honorable debt, constitution makers should go out of their way to raise this question of rebellion, when It Is so remote and ao far away from the queatlon. It would seem that they might well afford to leave such objections to those who were not so richly dowered with the mem orles of the Confederate war. Once before the editor of The Georgian has given his strong editorial Indorsement to the payment of this honest claim. We sincerely believe that It ought to be paid. We sincerely believe that It Is n Just debt. We sincerely believe that It is a debt of honor. Wo recall tho fact that this was perhaps the only question ot their generation upon which Bob Toombs, Alexander Stephens, Benjamin Hill and Joe Brown were all ot one mind—that Georgia fairly owed this debt and should fully pay It. We. cannot understand why the state should hesitate upon a patter whose appeal seem* so clear and so Irre sistible. We cannot believe that the rich and prosper ous Georgia of 1906 will fall to pay out of her fullness nnd her old white repute this small debt Incurred In a period of apparently vita! danger to the Isolated and ap parently beleaguered Georgia of 1859. Unless the facts of this case are all misstated, and this we do not believe, we cannot fall to fael that thp integrity of this state Ts at issue in the prompt and hearty discharge of a Just and honorable obligation. Dreyfus Acquitted Wo havo followed with appropriate comment tho ap- poal of Captain Dreyfus to tho supreme court of France to'annul the sentence ot tho Rennes court martial which found him guilty. But now that the decision ot tbu court Is definitely known nnd tho greatly persecuted victim, who was made vicarious Bscriflco for the sins of tho French army, has been definitely and finally acquitted of the charges laid against him, the occasion seems to call for an addi tional word. The whole n(Tulr Inis bnn oiio of the crimes of the age. Forgery nnd perjury reeked throughout the trial innde upon Its rolls. Four hundred and ten girls were enrolled and nobly taught at this school during the past scholastic year. Over one hundred and ten glrla were turned away from Its doors because there was no rhom for them nnd no place for them to stay or to study. This siuglo statement tells the tile ot the state's opportunity and of the state's duty, In these days women mesn ns much as men. They work In nil the lines In whleh men work, they Isbor, they create, they sustain, they support other people, nnd they are Indlspcnsablo and Indestructible factors In the commercial warp and woof of our state existence. Under theso circumstances, our obligation to the young women of the state Is as great as our obligation to our young men, and we respectfully present to the gentlemen of the legislature that, however sensitive they may be, and a* they always are toward the appropriation of money for lnatltuUons ot any kind, that they can make no mistake and do no wrong If, under all tho circum stances that surround this noble and effective Institution, they will promptly, generously and heartily concede to Its president and Its faculty an additional appropriation which shall be needed to accommodate the girls of Geor gia who at preaent are clamoring earnestly and unan swered at Its doors. A Case of Ante-Bellum Honor. There Is a curious and Interesting claim pending be fore tho present legislature, which has the distinct flavor of reminiscence of the ante-bellum period ot the South. Just after the senaatlonal raid ot old John Brown, of Ossowatomle, through Virginia, there was a very distinct feeling of apprehension fait throughout the South over a possible repetition of this raid from other fanatics, and much more probably from certain instigated uprisings of the slaves. • Founded upon this feeling, the state legislature ot 1859 authorised Oovernor Joseph E. Brown, then In the executive chair, to purchase from the 8harps Rifles Company In the North a sufficient equipment of guns to arm the entire militia of the atate tor defense against either ot these anticipated dangers. Governor Brown put the order Into execution, bought and distributed the guns, paid one-halt cash for them, and iaaued bonds to pay for the others, payable In 1880. When the time came for the maturity .of these bonds, they were either rejected or discredited by the legislature of that period, and have never up to this time been paid. Hon. Benjamin H. Hill !• now preuing upon the leg islature the claim tor the unpaid halt of the bonds Issued tor these guns. The Sharps Rifles Company disposed ot the bonds to George Mattingly, ot Washington, D. C, thirteen years before they were due. Mattingly was a Confederate soldier living In the valley of Virginia, and was the friend of John B. Gordon, Thomas M. Norwood, and Alexander Stephens The history of these bonds and of their successive treatment by Georgia legislatures Is both Interesting and 'astonishing. For one reason or- another, they have al ways been rejected or their payment postponed, and up to the present time this apparently just and appealing debt of honor baa never been discharged. The opponents of the measure have been Inclined to place their repudiation upon the same basis as the repu diation ot the Bullock bonds, and to tall back upon ths theory that it Is contrary to the fourteenth amendment to pay any debt “Incurred In aid ot rebellion." U appears to The Georgian as an Impartial observer n practical Illustration ot the extent to which the con ■clousness of Innocence may actually lend courage and atrength. This feeling kept him alive during the tortures of his Imprisonment It restrained his hand when loaded revolver was purposely left within easy reach as the only means of escape from his agony ot mind and body. And when at last his friends secured for him another hearing and a subsequent‘pardon, this feel ing prompted him to keep up the fight until he cured an acquittal and the restoration of all his honors, He stands absolve^ before the world and all his suffering Is counted unto him for righteousness. He has given n lesson to mankind which was not born to die. The ultimate triumph of Integrity, the justice that has finally prevailed, the rebuke that hat been administered to offenders In high places, all contribute to a more hopeful and wholesome sentiment by which tho world cannot fall to profit- Work and Wealth. Mayor Thompson, of Kalamasoo—where the celery comes from—Is a man of wealth and Importance, at In dicated not only by bla official position but by many other collateral facta He Is a leading cltisen In ‘that community In every way. But be has some very decided Ideas as to raising boys and he haa started out to do the work well. He wants them to learn the value of money, so that when they come Into their fortunes In after years they will know how to utilise It to the best advantage. As a consequence the passers-by on the streets ot Kalama soo may at any time see these two boys, sons ot the may or, actually engaged In laying the pavements ot the city, which happens to be one of the municipal Improvements now In progress. No distinction Is made between them and any of the other day laborers who are engaged In the same work and their father does not want any such distinction made. He hopes that when they have passed through auch experiences gi the present, and have literally earned their bread In the sweat of tbelr brow, they will grow up man lier and better for the ordeal. There can be no doubt that he la right If other men ot wealth pursued the same policy there would be lees sorrow In tho world- There 'would be comparatively little of the dissipation and extravagance which are born ot Idleness and luxury. It would prevent many of the crimes which cumber the dockets of ths courts and bring untold misery on the hu man race. Skill and Industry are as essential to preserve and properly use large fortunes as to accumulate them, but the world as a rule presents a pitiful spectacle of the de generate sons of worthy and hard working sires. After all It should be borne In mind that t "This is the master key: Skilled hands and Industry.” The Grounds of Non-Support A Baltimore woman Is ailing her husband for non support. They have been married five years and she tes tifies that during that time be haa contributed just 26 cents to her support This he gave her Immediately after the marriage In order to pay her car fare home.. This American equivalent of "the nimble shilling" Is not much to support a family on for five yean. She would have had to borrow the widow's cruae and Alad din's lamp and the amphorae of Cana to make this quar ter ot a dollar last five years. As a practical tact what did she do with that first home with 5 cents, the unentailed remainder being 20 of the good old Puritans started out that way and final- cents. What disposition she made of this money might' ly cut quite a figure In life. Or she might have taken throw a vast deal of light on her husband's failure or j warning from the career of Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown refusal to contribute more to the household expenses. I and taken thought of the day “when tho rent comes Was It laid out as the first payment on a patent churn. rounV bought on the Installment plan. In the hope of some day being able to purchase a cow to fit It? Did she Invest It In a twenty-dollar plush album for the front parlor. In the hope that some vague St Nicholas would drop a center table and a divan In her stocking at the end of the year? There are those who are ready to contend that she should have used this money toward buying a stove. Bet- Now, In point of fact, which of these many things did she do with that 25 cents? It would be Interesting to know, as a study of sociol ogy, but on the whole if the husband has really con tributed only two dimes toward the household expenses In five years, the same being four cents a year, he Is probably guilty of non-support and should be doomed to live alone all the rest of bis days.

New York, July 13.—Mrs. Hettle Green, the “richest woman In ths world." haa developed an unexpected streak of extravagance which haa amazed aome of her friends. It haa Just developed that on Sunday shs entertained four women guests »t s 23-cent dinner at the Hotel Oramatan. In Hronxvllle. After settling th, bill of 31.25 she left the table without tipping the waiter, which shqws she Is not en tirely given over to extravagance. Mrs. Green arrived In an automobile and at once entered the dining room. She took the table d’hote dinner In lta courses and ate heartily, sho and her friends seemed In high spirits, laugh ing nnd chatting Sway two hours be fore they nroee, re-entered their auto mobile and hurried away. A striking instance In which some times fortunes nre over-estimated, Is given by the presentment of the estate of the Inte John S. McCall, which has Been filed in the surrogates court. The value of the personal property Is given at 374,000, from which Is de ducted 333,155 for debta and varloua expenses, leaving a net estate of 340,- 835 only. His widow le the eole ben eficiary under his will. When the Insurance Investigation forced the retirement of Mr. McCall from the presidency of the New York Life last January, he returned to the company 8235,000 that had been ex pended by Andrew Hamilton, but few people thought he waa Impoverishing himself In making the payment. Andrew Carnegie is lavish In hie giv ing, but with him business Is business, nnd he wantn what Is his. He has se cured the handsome home of Daniel Gaffney, nt 164 East Nlnety-flrtt street, in the foreclosure of a mortgage. througl Gaffney, who is a contractor, mort- and was In arrears a half year's In terest, amounting to 32,250. Richard Mansfield Is In a race and Mrs. Mansfield Is In tears. An auto- mqblle which. It Is said, was tearing at a frightful speed, ran over and the pet fox terrier of Mrs. Mans field In front of the Mansfield summer home, In the Fequot colony, near New London. Mrs. Mansfield has sidver- tlsed a liberal reward for the Identity of the auto driver and If ever revested there will be warm times with some body. Another New York lawyer, besides, ..be Hummel, Is In danger of being disbarred. On charges growing out of the sensational suits brought against Thomas Walsh, tho Colorado mining magnate, by Violet Watson, a year ago, the appellate division ordered u reference In the case of D. Chansen, the. young woman’s counsel, with a view to deciding the question of dis barment. Hansen Is charged with keeping one of the suits against Walsh alive after the plaintiff had directed Ite dlscon- tlnuance and with deceiving the court He Is said to have led the court to In fer that John C. Carlisle, whom he had engaged as counsel for Miss Watson, was still connected with the cose after the latter had really withdrawn from It Thq bad boy at last has had justice done him, and wonderful to tell, It Is his traditional enemy, the school teach er, who has done him tardy Justice. Professor Frank J. Beebe, superin tendent of public schools In New Ha ven, addressing the American Institute of Education, says: "Often the Incorrigible boy Is so be cause his buoyant life and tremendous energy make It Impossible for. him to submit to the restrictions of the school room. He laughs In scorn at the rules of the school. He will not be run Into the same mould that holds all the others.” Does kissing constitute assault and battery? That Is a question the New Jersey courts are called upon to de cide. Mrs. William C. McDonald, of Tenafly, holds ths affirmative: William Perry, of the same place, the negative. According to Mrs. McDonald, she and Perry returned from New York on the same train and. knowing each other, they chatted. While he was ac companying her home, she says, he suddenly embraced and kissed her. She caused his arrest and he has been held for trial. NEW COUNTY MAY BE NAMED PHIL COOK If the Idea ot Senator Bloodworth Is followed In the naming of the new county which he proposes to carve out of Pika and Monroe counties, the bill, which has favorable committee recom mendation. the memory of one ot Geor gia's great men will be honored. Senator Bloodworth thinks the new county ought to be named Phil Cook, after the distinguished' father of the now secretary of state, Phil Cook. The elder Cook was a member of congress and served Georgia long aa secretary of stats. Senator Bloodworth believes the bill for creating the new county will pass.
