THE GEORGIAN COMES TO
GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE
Envy, to which th' Ignoble mind's a slave
Is emulation In the learned or brave.
— POPE.
The Claims of a Great School.
The Georgian is In sympathy with the need, end as
pirations ot every school In Georgia, public and private.
We believe In education, because we believe In youth and
because we believe In tbe future of the atate.
There never came to our eari an appeal from an edu
cational Institution which did not reach our aympathy,
and If our punas had been long enough, they would have
received our substantial aid. .
We believe In a liberal and generous policy on tbe
part of the lawgivers of tbe atate toward every educa
tional institution which the etate has In care. We
believe that to the very limit of the capacity of the
state's means and equipment It should help to build tbe
educational Institutions for men and women which look
to It for support, and wt are quite confident that no
people and no constituency will ever criticise or con
damn a public servant who deals In large and Intelligent
generosity toward every educational Institution of
Georgia. ,
Dut while we speak In thece general term*, there Is
an Institution whleh for many reasons Is peculiarly near
to our Interest and affection. The Georgia Normal and
Industrial School at Mllledgevllle 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 line It makes the highest and most practical appeal
to the judgment and the patriotism of every father, of
every mother and of every public-spirited citizen In the
state. No school In Georgia of any grade or kind de
serves more at the hands of the state than thli girls'
Industrial Institute at Mllledgevllle, and this not less bo
cause of Its unique and Isolated devotion to this phase
of our young women's development, but because of the
splendid merit and the magnificent work of the school.
This MtUedgovlUe school Is equal to any ot Its kind
In the country, and In proportion to Its equipment we do
not hesitate to call It tbe very best of Its kind. Its fac
ulty, carefully reorganised and steadily Improved from
year to year, Is now as complete, as harmonious, as ably
equipped and as effective a corps of teachers as can be
found In the South. " Its work Is of the very highest
grade, and the consecration and capacity ot Us instruc
tors Is beyond cavil or criticism.
The school In Its present status Is overcrowded and
inadequate to the Increasing demands which are being
mndo 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 girls were
turned away from Its doors because there was no room
for them and no place for them to stay or to study.
This slngto statement tell* the tale ot the state’s
opportunity and ot the state's duty.
In these days women mean as much aa men. They
work In all the lines In whloh men work, they labor,
they create, they sustain, they support other people,
and they are Indispensable and Indestructible factors In
the commercial warp and woof ot our state existence.
Under these circumstances, our obllgaUon to the
young women of the state la at great as our obligation
to our young men, and wa respectfully present to the
gentlemen of the legislature that, however sensitive they
may be, sod as they always are toward the appropriation
of money for institutions of any kind, that thay can make
no mistake and do no wrong If, under all the circum
stances that surround this noble and effective Institution,
they will promptly, generously and heartily concede to
Its president and Ita faeulty an additional appropriation
which shall be needed to accommodate the girls of Geor
gia who at preseat are clamoring earueatly and unan
swered at Ita doors.
Fort 8nmter. It seems perfectly plain that the arms
were purchased to protect the state against the antic!
paled dangers of a raid of outside fanatics or an upris
ing of tbe slaves wlthlir the state.
Under these clreuniatnnces, the debt appears to ev
ery right thinking man to be one of peculiar and binding
force upon the honor and tbe sentiment of tbs state. Tbe
emergency that called for It was of a startling nature
and born of an apprehension that was shared by every
state In the South. Tbo guns, while not bought tor
purposes of rebellion, were afterwards In the early days
of tbe 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 1875 to the members of tbe Georgia legists
ture, said: "It is quite probable that I entered the ser
vice with one of these guns on my back, and tr to. I
would like for it to be paid for," and we earnestly be
lieve that this sentiment represents tbe average sent!
ment of the Confederate soldier of that time and of his
honest descendants of today.
It seema strange, that In the consideration of this
honorable debt, constitution makers should go out of
tbelr way to raise this question of rebellion, when It Is
so remote and so far away from the question. It would
seem that they might well afford to leave such objections
to those who were not so rlehly dowered with the mem
ories ot the Confederate war.
Onco before the editor of The Georgian has given
hta strong editorial Indorsement to tbe payment of this
honest claim. We sincerely believe that It ought to be
paid. We sincerely believe that It Is a just debt. We
sincerely believe that It Is a debt of honor. Wo recall
the fact that this was perhaps the only question of tbelr
generation upon which Bob Toombs. Alexander Stephens,
Benjamin Mill and Joe Brown were all of one mind—that
Georgia fairly owed this debt and should fully pay It.
We cannot understand why the atate should hesitate
upon a matter whose appeal seema so clear and so Irre
sistible. We cannot betleve that the rich and prosper
ous Georgia of 1905 will fall to pay out of her fullness
and her old white repute this small debt incurred la a
period of apparently vital danger to the Isolated and ap
parently beleaguered Georgia of 1859.
Unless tbe facts of this case are all misstated, and
this we do not believe, we cannot fall to fool that the
Integrity of this state la at Issue in the prompt aud
hearty discharge ot a Just and honorable obligation.
b
A Case of Ante-Bellum Honor.
There la a curious, and Interesting clnlm ponding be
fore the present legislature, which baa tbe distinct flavor
of reminiscence of the ante-bellum period of the 8outb.
Just after the sensational raid of old John Brown, ot
Ossowatomle. through Virginia, there was a very distinct
feeling of apprehension felt throughout tbe South over
a possible repetition of this raid from other fanatics, and
much more probably from certain Instigated uprisings
of the slaveg.
Founded upon this feeling, the state legislature ot
1859 authorised Governor Joseph E. Brown, then In the
exccutlvo chair, to purchase from the Sharps Rifles
Company In the North a sufficient equipment of guns
to arm the entire militia ot the state tor defense against
either ot these anticipated danger*.
Governor Brown put the order Into execution,
bought and distributed the guna, paid one-half cash for
them, and Issued bonds to pay for tbe others, payable In
lvSO. When the time came for the maturity of these
lionds, they were either rejected or discredited by the
legislature ot that period, and have never up to this
time been paid.
Hon. Benjkmtn H. Hill la now pressing upon the leg
islature the claim for tbe unpaid half of tbe bonds issued
for these guns. Tbe Sharps Rifles Company disposed ot
the bonds to George Mattingly, of Washington, D. C-,
thirteen yean before they were due. Mattingly was a
Confederate soldier living In the valley of Virginia, and
was the friend ot John B. Gordon, Thomas M. Norwood,
and Alexander Stephens.
The history of these bonds and of tbelr successive
treatment by Georgia legislatures is both Interesting and
BBtonlshlng. For one reason or another, they have al
ways been rejected or their payment postponed, and up
to the present time thli apparently just and appealing
debt of honor has never been discharged.
The opponents ot the measure have been Inclined to
place their repudiation upon the aami basis as the repu
diation of the Bullock bonds, and to tall back upon the
theory that it la contrary to the fourteenth amendment to
pay any debt "incurred In aid ot rebellion."
It appears to The Georgian aa an Impartial observer
Dreyfus Acquitted
We have followed with appropriate comment the ap
peal of Captain Dreyfus to the supreme court ot Franco
to annul the sontence of the Rennes coart martial which
found him guilty.
But now that the decision of the court Is definitely
known and the greaUy persecuted victim, who was made
a vicarious sacrifice for the stos of the French army,
has been definitely and finally acquitted ot the charges
laid against him, the occasion seems to call for an addi
tional word.
Tho whole affair has been one of the crimee ot the
age. Forgery and perjury reeked throughout the trial
and a plan who Is now known to have been entirely In
nocent of the chargos laid against him wnB sent to the
most foarful and Ignominious punlBhmont a devilish
Ingenuity could devise. In the manly fortitude which
sustained him throughout the trying ordeal, we have had
a practical Illustration of the extent to which the con
sciousness of Innocence may actually lend courage and
strength. This feeling kept him alive during tbe tortures
of his imprisonment. It restrained his hand when
loaded revolver was purposely left within easy reach
as tho only means ot escape from his agony ot mind
and body. And whon at laWl hla friends secured tor
him another hearing and a subsequent pardon, this feel
lng prompted him to keep up the fight until he* se
cured an acquittal and the restoration of all his honors.
He etsnds absolved before the world and all bis
suffering Is counted unto him for righteousness. He has
given a lesson to mankind which was not born to die.
The ultimate triumph of Integrity, the justice that ha*
finally prevailed, the rebuke that has been administered
to offenders In high places, all contribute to a more
hopeful and wholesome sentiment by which the world
cannot fall to profit.
Work and Wealth.
Mayor Thompson, of Kalamasoo—where the celery
comes from—Is a man of wealth and Importance, aa In
dicated not only by hi* official position but by many
other collateral facta. He Is a leading citizen In that
community In every way.
But he hae some very decided Ideas as to raising
boys and he has started out to do the work well.
He wants them to learn the value of moaey, so that
when they come Into their fortunes In after years they
will know how to utilise It to the beet advantage. As
a consequence tbe passereby on the streets ot Kalama
soo may at any time see these two boys, aona of the may
or, actually encaged In laying the pavements ot the city,
which happens to be one ot the municipal Improvements
now In progress. No distinction Is msde between thorn
and any ot the other day laborers who are engaged In
tbe tame work and their father does not want any such
distinction msde.
He hope* that when they have passed .through such
experiences as the present, and have literally earned their
bread In the sweat of their brow, they will grow up man
lier and better for the ordeal. There can be no doubt
that he la right It other men of wealth pursued the
lame policy there would be less sorrow In the world.
There would be comparatively little ot the dissipation
and extravagance which are born ot Idleness and luxury.
It would prevent many of the crimes which cumber the
dockets ot the cou[ts and bring untold misery on the hu
man race.
Skill and Industry are as essential to preserve and
properly uee large fortunes as to accumulate them, but
tbe world ae a rule presents a pitiful spectacle of the de
generate sons of worthy and hard working alree. After
all It should be borne In mind that
■'This Is the master key: \
Skilled hahde and Industry.”
Was It laid out as the first payment on a patent churn,
bought on the Installment plan, In tbe hope of some day
being able to purchase a cow to fit It; Did she Invest

the hope that some vaguo 8b Nicholas would drop a
center table and a divan In her stocking at tbe 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 tbe 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 hfs days.

Nashville, Term, July 1(.—Hon. H.
Clay Evans, a former member of con
gress from the Third district of Ten
nessee, ex-mayor of Chattanooga, ex
consul general to London and former
United States pension commissioner,
was last night nominated by the Re
publican state convention to be their
candidate for governor ot Tennessee.
Not only was General Evans nominat
ed without opposition, but the Evans
forces pulled off a surprise and com
pletely captured the new state execu
tive committee and "Easy Boss'
Brownlow, of the First district, was
decisively defeated In his effort to re
tain control of the committee.
Fifteen oift of twenty of the new
committee are Evan* men. Thp Ev
ans' victory Is complete. On the first
snd only roll call In the convention last
night Evans led by more then 100 votes.
After that Brownlow left the conven
tion. The platform adopted was writ
ten by Evsns.
The Evsns men are Jubilant and, the
Brownlow men are sore. Th* latter
will no doubt knife Evan* like the Cox
men will knife Patterson, the Demo
cratic nominee.
The reign of Boss Brownlow In Re

eight years In Tennessee, la st an end.
Hon. Alf Taylor Is even -trying to
succeed the boss tn congress, running
against him as an Independent In the

By Private Leased Wire,
New York, July 13.—Mrs. Hettle
Green, the "richest woman In th,
world." has developed an unexpected
etreak of extravagance which has
amazed some of her friends. R has
Just developed that on Sunday sh*
entertained four women guests at a
35-ctot dinner at the Hotel Gramatan,
In Bronxvtlle. After settling the bill of
51.23 she left the table without tipping
the w alter, which showa she Is not en
tirely given over to extravagance.
Mrs. Green arrived In an uutomoblla
anil at once entered the dining room.
She took the table d'hote dinner In Ita
courses and ate heartily. She and her
friends seemed In high spirits, laugh
ing and chatting away two hours be
fore they arose, re-entered their auto
mobile and hurried away.
A striking Instance In which some
times fortunes ore over-estimated, is
given by the presentment of the estate
of the late John S. McCall, which has
been filed In tho surrogates court.
The value of the personal property Is
given at (71.000, from which Is de
ducted (83,165 for debts and various
expenses, leaving a net estate of (40,-
835 only. His widow Is the sole ben
eficiary under his will.
When the Insurance Investigation
forced the retirement of Mr. McCall
from the presidency of the New York
Life last Janunry, he returned to the
company (2(5,OX that had Wt) ex
pended by Andrew Hamilton, but few
people thought he was Impoverishing
himself In mnklng the payment.
Andrew Carnegie Is lavish In his giv
ing, but w ith him business Is business,
and he wants whnt Is his. He has se
cured the handsome home of Daniel
Gaffney, at 1 r.4 Hast Ninety-first *tr-
through the foreclosure of a mortgage.
Gaffney, who Is a contractor, mort
gaged his home to Carnegie for (100,-
000 and was In arrears a half year's In
terest, amounting to (2,250.
Richard Mansfield Is In a rage and
Mrs. Mansfield Is In tears. An auto

along at a frightful speed, ran over and

home, In the Pequot colony, near New
London. Mrs. Mansfield has adver
tised a liberal reward for the Identity
of the auto driver and If ever revealed
there will be warm times with some
body.
Another New York lawyer, besides

view to deciding the question of dis

Hansen Is charged with keeping one
of the suits against Walsh alive after
the plalrftlff had directed Its discon
tinuance and with deceiving tho court.
He Is sold to have led the court to In

the latter had really withdrawn from It
The bad bo^ ot laBt has had Justice

lil, traditional enemy, the school teach
er. who has done him tardy Justice.
Professor Frank J. Beebe, superin

of Education, says:
"Often the Incorrigible boy Is so be

Does kissing constitute assault and
