Saturday Evening.
We publish In another column today one of the
daintiest gems that has ever fallen from tho pen of that
Sifted child of sons, Frank L. Stanton, whose name has
gone around the world as a synonym of buoyant optim
ism and exquisite fancy.
There Is something peculiarly touching In the verses
be contributes to a magazine which Is essentially, aa Its
name Implies, the elbow companion of "the smart sot.'
In the camps of the Adlrondacks and the woods of
Maine, In the villas of Newport and on the luxurious
yachts which sail the summer seas, this little gust of
song will be blown with Its sweet refrain, that all that
gold can buy is vanity and vexation compared with
the exaltaUon when "the woman I love Is mine."
The dwellers In splendid palaces which line the
shores or float the seas, sated perhaps with the caviar
of luxurious life, will pause in the rich routine to catch
this breath of truth and beauty wafted from a soulful
singer of the South who tells them, what human ex
perience has been telling them for a thousand years,
and men of genius hare endeavored to demonstrate
from every point of view, that there Is a divine altruism
In life, after all, and that all the artificial pleasures
that the world can bestow are Insignificant when com
pared to the liner sentiments and emotions which spring
from the exhaustless well-spring of love.
We may call the beadroll of the world of wealth—
of the mythical Croesus at whoso touth everything turned
to gold until he starved In the midst of plenty, of Aplclus,
who slew himself In despair when his Income had been
reduced to halt a million dollars' a year and he could
no longer Indulge his appetite as ho was wont to do In
his more splendid days; of Bardanapahis, whose lux
urious life Invited the rebellion of conquererlng Arbaces
and ended 111 splendid suicide, even down to tho nabobs
of the multl-mllllonalre days whose Incalculable fortunes
can buy the love and esteem of those who are nearest
and dearest.
It Is a melancholy catalogue of loveless grandour
and companionless power and Influence.
The poet has not touched any new note. The theme
he sings Is as old as the world. Rut it Is old because It
Is eternally and unvaryingly true. Riches may take unto
themselves wings and flee away and the prince of yester
day become the pauper of today, but out of the depths
will surge tho living truth:
youth for the strenuous present and for the thrilling
future.
And.to those who.droop in pessimism over the pos
sible things of evil which may front the forces that are
struggling for righteousness and patriotism In these com
ing years, we point them to the white array of our edu
cational Institutions—
Our far flung battle line of unconquerable defense.
John Brown and the Truth of History.
Atlanta, August 9, 19M.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
I have always read the editorials of l^he Geor
gian with pleasure, even when I could not always
subscribe to the sentiment promulgated. The
elegant diction In which they are couched makes
them a literary treat, even It they do not carry
conviction.
But In your editorial In today’s paper it
seems to me that you are employing unneces
sarily big guns to bunt small game. I speak of
the article headed "Fairbanks Glorifying John
Brown." That tne old man was a crazy fanatic
It hardly needs the testimony of a senate com
mittee, headed by James M. Mason, to prove.
His action in trying to abolish slavery with a
force of seventeen whites and-flve negroes would
be proof enough.
But It Is well to remember that the principle
for which the old man fought, the abolition of
slavery, became In a very few years the ruling
principle of the government; while the principle
for which Jefferson Davis and his allies fought,
the perpetuation of human slavery, went down In
defeat apd disaster, and Is now held In abhor
rence by the whole civilized world. It would
seem that his "soul went marching on” with
almost lightning speed. Possibly If he had not
lived—and died—the slaves of the South would
bo slaves today; and everyone, even In the
South, Is glad that they are not.
Was he a "felon and a traitor” for seizing
the government arsenal at Harper's Ferry? Pos
sibly. But If so what was that other Brown—
Governor Joe of Georgia—who repeated the per
formance less than two years later at Augusta?
And what of the numerous seizures of govern
ment property all through the South, and that,
too, by men who had taken a solemn oath to
"protect nnd defend the constitution of the
United States?" No, give John Brown due credit.
We of the Now South can well afford to. Crazy
and misguided he undoubtedly was. but he blazed
the path of liberty which we are all proud to
tread. JOHN A. NELSON.
the Hartford convention, held In John Brown’s own
state, had established beyond all cavil.
This was the principle for which the South con
tended. It was In obedience to this principle, as a meas
ure of open warfare, that Governor Joseph E. Brown
seised the arsenal at Augusta, and It Is a principle which
Is-growing upon the Intelligence of the world every day.
Nine years ago, when the queen of Great Britain and
Ireland and the empress of India celebrated her diamond
Jubilee, what waa the distinguishing Incident of that
occasion? What was the spirit .which pervaded the do
liberations of the representatives from all the colonies?
There had been for years an agitation In favor of send
ing to the house of commons representatives from the
various colonies to participate In the deliberations of
parilamenL There was a distinct effort to centralise
the Imperial government. But when these distinguished
men met and talked over the situation calmly and fra
ternally, what was the conclusion reached, and what was
the most signal event of those deliberations and of the
great Jubilee Itself? It was the Arm and Anal adoption
-f the very principle for which the South had contended
before the civil war.
How Is It recorded by an unimpeachable authority
In “The History of Our Own Times?' "The principle of
colonial federation," he says, "evolved Itself out of these
discussions, and It became evident that the only endur
ing partnership which thd*empire and tile colonies could
set up must be one allowing to each colonial state the
right of managing Its own domestic affairs, leaving to
neighboring colonies the right to form Into a separate
federation.”
The precedent of the United States waa Invoked at
that very time, and going further than the most ardent
advocates of state's rights ever went in the South, It
was settled once and for all that the colonies should
not even have a voice In the general parliament, but
that each state was to be supreme In the management
of Its* own Internal affairs.
This theory has run like a sliver ribbon through
every decision of our supreme court since the union
was cemented anew.
There Is no disposition to open the question. We
are happy and prosperous‘under the existing order of
things. But It well nigh fatigues Indignation that It
should be necessary to say. In this enlightened period,
that "Jefferson Davis and his allies" did not fight “for
the perpetuation of human slavery,” but for the perpetua
tion of the real terms of the constitution as it was
formulated by the wisdom of the fathers.
'Few ate the frionds my life has made,
Few In my hands their hearts havo laid.
And these were women; I am old
Yet never have I been betrayed."
Georgia’s Educational Battle Line.
The crowning glory of Georgia Is In her schools and
colleges. i
Other factories may fall and fade away. The whir
of tho spindles may be hushed, tho thunder of the
looms grow still, and the line fabrics of machinery piay
serve their time and perish.
But the wheels which go round and round In the
ceaseless and henefleent labor of our schools are turning
out the product which makes the future and will never
die. They are the factories of citizenship, tho workshops
of immortality.
And Georgia Indeed Is rich, and growing always
richer In these splendid Institutions. The stately line of
schools and colleges which spread themselves In our
columns today are the first and foremost of a long list
of Institutions which are training and Inspiring tho
children of the state.
The great schools of Georgia have kept pace with
the progress of a rapidly advancing age. In method, in
equipment. In faculty, and In every enhancement, ma
terial and Intellectual, that the years have suggested nnd
• moderate prosperity has permitted, the schools and
colleges of Georgia are, every one of thorn, better nnd
broader and larger than they were ten years ago. The
prep, schools of the state have grown famous all over
the South, and are moving nearer to the Rugby standard
every year. One of these academies carries Its pupils
every year on an educational tour that IS almost equiv
alent to a scholastic term. And the foundation la being
nobly laid In all the schools which speak through The
Georgian today.
Nothing In Georgia has grown more wholesomely
within the decade than the female collegos. The eager
ness of competition between these soveral Institutions
has bettered and advanced the whole causo of female
education In the state. Time was when skeptics mocked
at our system of female training, and called It a farce
of mere outside veneering. But within the decade there
have grown up improvements In teachers. In methods,
and In thoroughness which have dignified arid com
mended our girls' schools to the confidence of parents
and educators. /
And the colleges and universities which stand for the
higher education of our men have caught from the spirit
and the progressive systems of the age the advance that
Is building them up to the higher standards of develop
ment. It is becoming every year less and less a neces
sity that our Georgia youth should go to Northern col
leges to perfect their educational equipment for life.
Standards have been steadily raised, curricula have been
altered, and the moral and physical tone of our schools,
colleges and universities tor young men and young wom
en have been brought up to the highest possible basis.
The one handicap to our Southern Institutions has been
the lack of money. The 8outh, prosperous as It Is, has
not yet reached that degree of wealth to give our schools
all they need, but it Is simply heroic the spirit of self-
sacrifice and courage with which teachers and pro
prietors have given of their money and of their strength
to eke out slender resources to the great end of improve
ment
Tho spirit behind this generous giving and living Is
the spirit that glorifles the schools of Georgia, and prom
ises the largest things for the future. Because It Illus
trates the earnestness and consecration that cannot fall
to creep from teacher to student to the honor of our
• citizenship and tho glory of our homes.
y Georgia blazons in these columns today that she has
ample food to feed the minds and hearts of her noble I fidelity to that Interpretation of the organic law which
We are gratified to know that our correspondent
reads the editorials In The Georgian, and we are equally
glad to afford him a medium for expressing views which
are In conflict with our own.
But he lias read the editorials In The Georgian to
little purpose. Indeed, he has studied history Itself to
little purpose, whan he voices such views as constitute
a large part of his letter. It Is perhaps true, In a cer
tain sense, that In dwotling for a while on the true char
acter of John Brown we were employing "big guns to
hunt small game." But the fact of the matter Is that we
were not gunning for John Brown so ihuch as for the
vice president of the United States, who. In accepting
an Invitation to participate In the proposed celebration
of the battle of Osawatomle, Is disgracing the high office
to which ho has been elected by the people. The vice
president of these United States Is, or ought to be, by
reason of his office, "a big gun” himself, and there was
no need to go after him with a popgun.
We And It difficult to take our correspondent seri
ously when he compares the treasonable raid of John
Brown and hla followers with the war measures taken
by Governor Brown and other Southern men at the
beginning of the civil war. Our correspondent loses
sight of the entire trend of history when he makes
any such comparison. Government arsenals were not
selsod in Augusta or anywhere else until the people of
tho respective states had met In solemn conclave and
adopted an ordinance of secession. Through their ora
tors and statesmen In congress they had given tho gov
ernment of thq United Btates ample warning that if It
persisted In an Interpretation of the constitution so com
pletely at varianco with their understanding of that or
ganic law—which, Incidentally, William Lloyd Garrison,
twenty years before, had characterised as “a covenant
with death and an agreement with hell”—nothing re
mained but an appeal to arms, and there was a disposi
tion on the part of the more sane and conservative of
the Northern members to let the "erring sisters depart
In peace.”
And when at last the “argument was exhausted*
and nothing remained but the arbitrament of the sword,
formal defiance was flung In the face of the toe. There
was no midnight foray of guerrillas, without warrant or
authority from any organized body whatever. It was
frankly, fairly and firmly war, even to the knife.
How can nny rational, dispassionate man compare
the conflict, preceded by the solemn secession of the
states, with the liTuptlon of “seventeen whites and live
negroes," under the leadership of a deluded old fanatic?
Again, we blush to know that any man of the South,
In this age of enlightenment and Intelligence, should be
found making the statement that “Jefferson Davis and
his allies fought for the perpetuation of human slavery.”
It ts Instances like this which confirm us in what we
have had to say about John Brown and the harm that his
followers did to the South. They served to cloud the
Issue and to Inject into It an element which was alien
to the fundamental cause of the civil war. Our corre
spondent himself, by his very communication, vindicates
whnt we havo said of the impropriety of Vice President
Fairbanks glorifying the man who did so much to engen
der bitter feelings between the North and South, both
before and after the war.
When will men like our correspondent Inform them
selves sufficiently on the facts of history to know that
Jefferson Davis and his allies did not “tight for the per
petuation of human slavery?” How long must this an
cient slander be handed down, and what are we to think
when It Is given currency by men who are living In the
South? A new generation has arisen. Indeed, and \e
are delighted to see the accumulating evidences of
friendship and fraternity on the part of all sections of
the South. But, It Mr. Nelson Is a -product of the New
South, he affords pathetic evidence that the rising gen
eration Is Ignorant of the sentiments and principles
which Inspired our forefathers when he talks of an ef
fort on the part of “Jefferson Davis and his allies to
perpetuate human slavery.”
He has. read the editorials In The Georgian to little
purpose If he has failed to follow the frequent attempts
wo have made to Inform the unenlightened that the
South withdrew from tho union to preserve the consti
tution—withdrew because of her conviction, deliberately
formed, and Justified by the best statesmanship of the
country. North and South, for a hundred years, that the
constitution should be strictly construed, and that the
sovereign rights of the states should be maintained. The
commonwealths of the South fought for the principle
of local self-government, which has been the very es
sence of democratic government ever since government
was established.
There was no treason In that. It was supreme loyal
ty to the constitution In letter and in spirit It was

Neeks and Corners of American History
WRIGHT STANLEY
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.
In the town of Newborn, N. C„ near alty, holding his appointment directly
from the hands of Washington.
Speaking of the loan of £40,000 that
Stanly made to General Greene for the
government. It Is a shams to hava to
confess that ths government repu
diated It after the war, leaving It to
fall upon Greene.
Furthermore, the government of this
great country allowed two of Stanly's
female descendants, old and feeble
maiden ladles, to suffer want and die
In poverty after the civil war.
To cap the climax, the name of thle
great patriot la not even mentioned tn
the so-called histories of our country,
being practically unknown outside the
limits of the little North Carolina
town tn which he lived and died!

It was to thle man that the great
and good Washington referred as "the
Patriot John Wright Stanly, to whom
the country was but recently debtor
for £40,000 In good money, loaned
in the hour of ne»l."
All history spells the name Stanley,
but John Wright Stanly dropped the
"e" to signify hla uncompromising ha
tred of everything that smacked of
King George and his tyranny.
Stanly was one of the most sealous
of the Revolutionary patriots, and In
the great struggle for American Inde
pendence cheerfully made many sacri
fices,
Ha loaned General Grtene, for this
government, a large sum of money,
first ami last about £40,000, aa re
ferred to In the words quoted from
Washington.
This patriotic act of Stanly Is
scarcely known outside of the limits
of the city of Newbern, while all the
world has heard of the loans made by
Robert Morris.
More than once did John W right
Stanly visit Philadelphia at the urgent
request of Robert Morris, to aid tn
raising money to keep the army In the
field. _ „
Stanly was no stranger to the Qua
ker City. He owned a line house there.
In which the tint draft of the Declara
tion of Independence waa drawn up by
Jefferson and read to a number of pa
triots brought together at dlhner for
the purpose. They retired to the
"smoking room" at the lop of the
house, and there, safe from noise and
Interruption, the Immortal document
was carefully read and discussed.
But John Wright Stanly did more
than loan money to his country's gov
ernment; he placed at the govern
ment's service a fleet of fourteen pri
vateers, all of which, unfortunately,
were captured In the neutral port of
SI. Eustatis. West Indie*.
More than this, Stanly titled out an
armed brig to light against the ene
mies of Ills country's liberty.
This bug. When about ready for op
erations against the British, was burn
ed at hla wharf at Newbern by tbe
Tories.
At the same time the Tories sacked
Stanly's store houses In Newbern, de
stroying the sugar, molasses, salt, etc.,
with which they were tilled. The pa

(Copyright, 1906, by Amerlckn-Journal-
Examlner.)
At the rfik of being considered
croaker, I cannot refrain from again
using my pen in an appeal to the wom
en of America to cease their Indul
gence In drinking anything of an alco
hollo nature. There has been much
said in the papera-about the growth of
the drink habit among women during
the past year, especially among those
of fortune and fashion, who should be
examples In all things to their sex.
I was recently at a luncheon tn a
splendid hotel In this city, which has
a cafe for people who ore not guests.
While waiting- to be served I saw two
stylish, pretty young women come Into
the cafe, take seats at a small table and
order two cocktails. They sat and sip
ped the cocktails without anything
else, then rose and left the cafe. They
were too youhg really to be without a
chaperon, but displayed an Independ
ence and Indifference to comments
upon this astonishing abandon that
was painful to witness.
If any one has any doubt as to the
extent of the Indulgence of women in
wine, cocktails, brandy and soda drink
ing ho has only to go Into the most
exclusive and aristocratic cafes In any
city, on almost any night, after the
close of the theater nnd opera per-
formance, and he will see that every
seats at the tables Is taken, and that
alcohol is sorved In some form to each
person, whether man or woman, and
It Is the rarest thing that you see a
woman's glass turned down.
This Is melancholy evidence that
American women do not entertain the
same abstemious position as formerly,
nor do they realise the demoralising In
fluence they are exerting over the men
of the country. There was a time when
few men would have dared to order
any kind of a drink In the presence of
his wife or other ladles. Wine may
have been taken In their own homes,
but to go Into a public place and or
der brandy and soda or cocktails when
ladles were tn their company was a
thing unheard of. Now a young man
will take hla mother and sisters, and
even his grandmother, to these resorts
and order cocktails for them and him
self, and if the grandmother or mother
declines, he considers that It Is a pub
lic rebuks and Is very much offended
thereby.
That there must be a halt to this
sort of thing there Is no denying, oth
erwise the nation will degenerate, ns
all nations have that' have been reck
less In the use of alcoholic stimulants.
The women of any nation aro respon
sible for the standard of virtue and
temperance that Is maintained by the
men. Hence the Influence of the wom
en of Puritan days over the,men of the
American nation laid the foundation
for the prosperity and civilization of
the people of this republic. The con
sequences of the mingling of many
races on this continent in the century
and a half that has passed has brought
an unfortunate change In our Ideas of
principles and character, until we tem
porize with dissipation and are blind to
ts baneful effects upon the generations
that are soon to be the home-keepers
and custodians of (he affairs of the re
public.
I realize I am risking the forfeiture
of friendship when I assert that we can
not think that a self-respecting, Intel
ligent woman, who realises her re
sponsibilities to society, will In public
or In private Indulge In cigarette smok
ing or drinking. It has been with great
pain that I have witnessed the Indul
gence of my sex In these deplorable
vices, and It Is Imimastble for me to
And an excuse for nny woman, young
or old, who gives her sanction or Joins
men In drinking or smoking.
We are falling upon melancholy days
when It Is necessary for ministers of
tbe gospel to preach sermons on the
vicious habits of women in polite so
ciety. The women of this country have
Justly had the credit of doing more
toward the building up of churches,
educating the people nnd advancing
good work than men, nnd we should be
very sorry If there ever comes a time
when, through habits contracted
abroad, they forget the high places
they have hitherto held. Legislation
governing vice of any character what
soever Is futile If the women of the na
tion do not array themselves on the
side of sobriety and moraltty.
