The legislature whose life expire* by limitation on Wednesday next will close It* session amid the applause jind respect of the peopl# of Georgia. It la doubtful If a better and more admirable body of repretentatlvea haa assembled In Georgia since the war. Certainly no body of lawmaker! baa ever come so near to doing whnt the people asked and expected of them, or refrained more prudently from doing what tba people would not have tbem do. Prom the beginning to the end of the session not s scandal, political or personal, has marred the history of either honse; no fend or quarrel between members has been recorded; no aspersion from any sane or au thoritative aource baa been leveled at the Integrity of either chamber, and the work of legislation and appro- prlatlon haa proceeded evenly, smoothly and rapidly In progressive spirit to the approaching conclusion. Thsre hss scarcely been a session In which more work was accomplished and In which so little time was consumed In talk and speeches. The measure* which th* legislature ha* rejected are few In number and *ome Of them may yet be enacted Into law* before the gavel falls on Wednesday's closing session. Of course the body haa not been above criticism—as few bodies ever •re—bat In the main the legislature of 190* may be char acterised a* a body of more than ordlnnry ability, of great Industry and dellnltene**, and of a distinctly form ed spirit of progress and reform. Among the good things which the body in Its present session haa accomplished Is the triumphant passage through both house* of the Child Isibor bill. It has established a court of appeals for the much needed relief of our supreme court staggering under an overweight of business. It he* answered .the moral appeal and the hualneaa appeal of merchants and farmer* In the Hoykln Bucket Shop bill. It ha* touched the spirit of our public nffnlra by the Wright bill for pure election*. ■ It has responded to a noed of the tlmea and of the people In providing for the election of railroad commis sioner! by the people. It haa answered for Georgia the appeal of our dear slater of Virginia by an appropriation to represent the state at the Jamestown Tercentennial of 1907, and It ha* been prompt and generous In dealing with the necessities of our educational Institutions. It Is even now In final and we trust favorable con sideration of the llall-Candler tax assessor bill, of the state auditor bill, of the Gordon monument appropria tion for $16,000, of the Wright pure food bill and of the Wheatley bill for a lieutenant governor of the atato. - It haa also under what we trust will bo a high and patriotic consideration the antl-paa* bill which surely ought to be promptly enacted Into law. . Truly with inch a record the eminent body of Geor gians In sesilon at the capitol deaervo to go home on Wodneadny next to receive from their.constituents the plaudit "Well done, good and faithful servants.” An Appeal to Noble Sentiment. In a practical age like this a great people can never afford to turn their backs upon a noble sentiment. And under this genornl atntcment there cannot fall to come to every Georgian a sense of approval and of Indorsement to tho bill Introduced nnd now {tending In the Georgia legislature to' appropriate $$,500 to re pair the old capitol at Mllledgevllle. now used aa tho main building of the Georgia Military college at that poiat. A thousand memories circle about that historic building to endear It to the love and veneration of the people of Georgia. Within those walls, now so sadly nesdlng repair, baa been enacted much of the noble and enduring history of the state. Here thundered the giants of our earlier days. Here pealed the organ notes of that groat debate which led to the separation of Geor gia from ths federal nnton. Here were voiced and fram ed some of the policies that led to the earlier days of reconstruction under home rule. And the echo of a thousand noble speeches and n thousand noble voices of great Georgians now dead and gone and locked In fame, circle about the ancient ratters and the arched walla If Georgia has a dollar In It* treasury, It might well be spent In keeping Intact this stately and Immortal monument to the leglalatlve history and the forensic greatness of the state. Beyond this nobly sentimental reason there la a practical and material consideration. The old capitol ts now the home of the Georgia Military college, which has Just finished Ita twenty-seventh year of work, and wltbln that time has sent oat hundreds of teachers who are doing now and will continue to do a noble work In the public schools and for the education of Georgia's youth. It has representatives In all of the Institution* for higher learning In the state. One Is In Harvard univer sity, and one In Cambridge University, In England. The school registered In Its la*t session 540 students—103 boys In barrachs from bait a hundred counties In the state, and representing In all aix states and three for elgn countries. Pour of the school's graduates hold commissions In the United States army, ons a captain and three first lieutenants. Three of these yonng men won their commission* In competitive examinations, go ing direct from this Georgia school Into the army. Cap tain Hobert E. L. 8pence. of the Thirteenth United States Infantry, a graduate of Weat Point and a colonel of volunteers during* the 8|ianlah-Amerlcan war. Is the commandant and Instructor In military science, with an equipment furnlaheyl by the government and valued at $5,000. The late General I), H. Hill declared that thia school wts doing the best work for the education of the poor boys of Georgia of any school In the state. It does not cost Georgia anything. It ls maintained by local luxa tion. It Is training on an average 75 boya every year mors or less completely for future service to the state, absolutely free. The city of Mllledgevllle, In which It Is located, has donated to Georgia for educations! purimses the following sums: The u. N. 4 I. C., $22,000; for the >rpla Military rolloei* linrrarku, $12..'00; for tho Geor gia Military coRegit trmory, with recent Improvement*. $5,00(1. The city Is giving besides JS.000 annually in free tuition to boys outside of Baldwin county. The city and her schools are asking the general **■ sembly for the modest sum of $$,500 to be expended In repairs for the state's historic landmark, j Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, The Georgian sincerely | hopes that this bill may rasa. ■ Two Sides to the Peachtree Paving Question. It seems that there are two sides to the question of the paving to be put on Peachtree street, and It occurs to The Georgian aa only Joet that both side* of a public question should be given to the people who are Interest ed In tta settlement. There are a large number of people In Atlanta who are earnestly In favor of an asphalt pavement for Peach- Hee, and with this class The Georgian baa been disposed and Is still disposed to side. There are, however. Just as many signers of a petition for a bltulllhlc pavement aa there are for the asphalt petition and about the same number of feet frontage. It la also tree that many of the signers of the petition for an asphalt pavement sub sequently signed for the bltullthic pavement. The Impression which has been sown that the bltu- lithlc la a cheap pavement and not aa good as the as phalt, seams to ha without foundation. According to the statement of Its advocates the bltullthic Is one of the highest priced pavements and la laid on some of the most fashionable streets of our larger cities. Its price Is higher In Georgia than that of asphalt. The reason that it can be nut on Peachtree street at halt the coat of asphalt Is th\t the Southern Bltullthic Company haa offered to furnish all the labor and the paving plant free of expense to the city. By unsnlmoua vote the county commission offered to this city free use of Its bltullthic plant and the labor necessary to place the pavement and all the material at east price. The Southern Bltullthic Company offered free of charge one of their expert and moat scientific superintendents to guarantee a perfectly laid specimen of this pavement on Peachtree street. And the Impression Is that the desire to make a good ln» presaton with this new paving material will give to Peachtree street the beat work that the highest experts and the moat skilled laborers of the bltullthic company can produce. It Is claimed by the bltullthic compmnr rhe were formerly asphalt contractors, that the bltullthic pave ment Is a more durable pavement than the asphalt, that It Is equally smooth, that It Is not In the least degree af fected by the sun or by the gasoline dropping from auto mobiles, and that It Is equally pleasant to the touch and to the sound of horses' feet. It Is also claimed that the bltullthic does not require the long watting that the asphalt does to harden, but that It hardens quickly and permanently. It Is not affected by water and does not rotr Bltullthic Is composed of large pieces of stone firmly bound together, while asphalt Is composed of sand which by reason of Its small-grains cannot be so firmly bound together and la therefore not so durable. It Is equally tree from mud and dust and does not have the slippery surface as does the asphalt, and wherever It has been laid H has given the moat abundant satisfac tion nnd has outlasted all other pavements. The county commissioners who seem to be thorough ly Interested In this new pavement are convinced of Its superiority In that the model city of Boalon, the cities uf St. Louis, Birmingham, Nanbvllle, Mobile, New Or leans. Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Portland and Cleveland are Using this pavement with complete satis, faction. ■. To the people -In Atlanta who are Interested In the subject and deaire to see for themselves the native and the operation of the pavement. It may be said that Gofdon, Park and Lee streets In West End are now paved with bltullthic and offer an opportunity to Inter ested parties to Inspect the quality and effectiveness of this work In making up their opinions for the further use of this pavement In Atlanta. The Georgian lias not a dollar at Interest, neither prospective nor present, In this affair. We have not now ami do not expect to receive one dollar of advertise ment from the liltulithlc people. Our previous preju dices have been toward the Asphalt pavements, and we are even now entirely Impartial between them, but this la at least n matter of genuine municipal Importance, nnd aa one side only of the question has been heard In the columns of the city press, It Is at least fair that the other aide should be presented and an object lesson offered as the meins by which the people Interested can make up opinion! for theuteelves. Concerning Errors of Speech. Up In Tennessee they have been having some news* {taper controversies about the niceties of grammar. The question whether a plural verb be used after the word none” has led to a heated dispute, although It should he final that ''none'' ie merely a contraction of "no one.” There are even those among the unenlightened who conteud that "he don't" nnd eimllar expressions are Jus tified by usage, all of which Is arrant nonsense to be sure, and merely shows how the word carpenters are born to error ss the sparks tty upward. But Tho Nashville American has taken this discus sion as a hook on which to hang a few commontense Il lustrations of the more frequent and undisputed error* In grammar which It la quite worth while to pass along. Among them are: "The widow of the late" Soandso. Elide "the late." "Young girl." All girls are young. Ladles or women may be young or old. When a girl ceases to be young ■be Is a woman. "Close proximity" la equivalent to “close nearness," which doesn't sound well. "John Smith died here yesterday nfternoon at f p. m," It ought not to be necessary to suggest that "after- uoon" be omitted. "Mr. Brown Is an octogenarian, being 50 years old." Certainly he is. If he Is 80 year* old. “The present Incumbent." Many reporters commit thla error. Cut out "present." “They have susptcloned him for some time." Of course "susiiected” Is the word that should be used. “8he Is a poor widow woman." A widow Is usually a woman. "The funeral obsequies will be held tomorrow." (tut out "funeral" or "obsequies.'' "Unconfirmed rumor." When a rumor la confirmed It ceases to be nintor. "Unconfirmed rumor" la not a good expression. "The Infant child." If a child la not an Infant an Infant may be reasonably supposed to be a child. There are no Infant ndulta. "Happened to an accident." Tbit expression Is com mon. Nobody happens to an accident. "Judge Smith waa shown a (taper." This Is a case of the cart before the horse. "There Is no doubt but that." Cut out the "but." Aa The American nolnta out, many errors similar i.j committed In Wo rail an- ! are f< Me ff.rropjxinfjonts and some ;> Uioho wo think of at the U And ask correspondent* to avoid them. There ■ writer* of absolutely correct English. Who shall vbether any writer's English Is faultless? Soma of the most fbrcerul and graceful writers are guilty of many minor Inaccuracies. The refinement* of tba lan guage can hardly be practical or reached by the busy writer who writes for the passing moment and who per haps sees his work only in the hurriedly scanned proof. But there Ie a practical aide which should be observed In the Interest of economy or of common sense. There Is no excuse for tautology unless It be hurried writing. Careless writing affords no excuse. The Gordon Monument. The people of Georgia cordially commend the state legislature In appropriating the sum of $15,000 for an equestrian statue to General John B. Gordon, to be placed on the cnpltol grounds. This sum, added to the amount already raised by private subscription, will In sure an Imposing monument, and one Jn every Way wor thy of the name and fame of the great captain who has entered Into rest. * t The general aaeembly ofttu state of Georgia Is not much given to oratory. It Is essentially a business body, and there are few members, whatever may be their ability, who have the Inclination to Indulge In high flown eloquence. But, the tribute* to General Gordon on the occasion In question rose spontaneously to the lips of the various members who sat In that august body, and the feeling tributes paid to the memory of the dead commander were among the moat touching and inspir ing ever beard In the historic capitol. It la well that thla should be so. It la hoped that the time will never come when the name and the glorious arhlcvemputs of Gordon will not awaken a rot.ponslve tnrill In the hearts of every Georgian and of every Southerner, those same walls have rung time and again with tho matcbhss eloquence of Gordon him self. for there were few men in the state who could hold an audience more completely captivated by the magic spell of hi* eloquence. It was, but one of the many talents which thla great and gifted man enjoyed. In peace he waa the friend and advocate of fraternity and of a generoni forgiveness of the «lns of the past committed against n*. He waa a leader In the rebuild ing of the Tooth, and the restoration of that commercial greatness which had been swept away by the ravages of war. In conflict we all know what he waa. The military annals of no country In either hemisphere record the achievements of a mori heroic figure—* man to whom the roar of battle only lent a courage pnd skill which the bloody exigencies of the hour supremely required. In all the long list of Bouthern leaders be stands with out a peer, except the Incomparable Lee himself, whose right hand be was. This pre-eminence Is undisputed. We know It and feet It nowT But the flight of time works many change* and a busy people are inclined to forget. With a new generation arising. In the midst of a commercial and in dustrial activity where sentiment haa but little place, there ls but too much probability that the memory of the great mefi of the past will suffer unless they are properly perpetuated. This monument to Gordon In the capitol where he served as chief executive will go far toward keeping hie memory green. It was a fitting tribute to his fame and bit high ability as a soldier and statesman, but it will stand as a yet prouder monument to the gratitude of the people of Georgia and their determination that his shall remain among “the few, the Immortal names which were not born to die." GOSSIP Growth and Progress of the New South The Growing Value of Southern Land The Information containued In thl* column from time to time, Illustrat ing the growth and progress of the South, has been attracting a great deal of attention all over the country, and Apparently Is opening the eyes of the people In general to the wealth and resources of this section of our com mon country. We recently presented some facta showing the marvelous Increase In the value of farm lands In the •)o , .th. This hss Inspired an observant and in telligent correspondent In Florida to send the following communication to The Georgian, which will be read with Interest and pleasure: To the Editor of The Georgian Under the heading of “Growth and Progress of the New South,** I would like to give you a few brief facts that have come under my personal knowledge In the past five years. I came from Georgia to Jackson county, Florida, five years ago. Dur ing my first year here a tract of land of several thousand acre* went beg ging for some months until It Anally sold for lea* than $1 per acre. In le*a than two years that land was sought for at $3 and up. Today none of It can be bouifht for less than |5 nnd some that has been put into culti vation will bring $15. Another case: Three year* ago I made a trip to Georgia In order to Interest some moneyed friends In a land deal of several thousand acres that we could have bought at $3.50 per acre. I failed to Interest them. This land sold In loss than six months for $4.50 per acre; In less than a year It sold for $7; today $t0 won’t buy It. One more case and I am through: The first of this year a tract of several thousand acres was sold for $3—no timber on this land, all nad been milled. I am getting today for this land from $6 to $10 per acre, and the end Is not yet. Two, three and five-dollar land Is soon to be no more down here. Yours truly, R. S. RODDENBERY. U • Marianna, Flan Aug. 11, 1906. ■■ - — -4 TO BUILD OR NOT TO BUILD? To the Editor of The Georgian: .Several months afro the Georgia di vision of the Daughters of the Confed eracy Issued a circular letter appeal ing to the community to aid In the erection of a monument to the memo ry of Captain Henry A. Wlr*, who In 1865 was tried by a commission, was convicted and was hanged, this tinder the auspices of the federal power fol lowing a few months after the aasansl- natton of President Lincoln. It Is claimed and believed by thousands of loyal men and women In the South, and possibly by some of the broader think ers North, that Wlrx was the victim of a preconceived and determined verdict; that Instead nf being a “Convicted Fel on” he was. and Is, the victim of those who Inflamed by passion and desiring a victim of some sort, accepted this friendless foreigner, who unable to summon and produce his witnesses, be came the “scapegoat,” suffering the extreme penalty for the sins of others; refusing to save his life by a deed of treachery, and submitting to the Inev itable rather than to do a dastardly deed involving others, high In position; briefly, we afllrm, and having seen the evidence reaffirm, that the condemna tion and execution of Wlrx wa» not Justified by the evidence, nnd that ho was not guilty as charged. It Is more than thirty years since I began to examine the pro and con, and having arrived at conclusion In accord ance with above declaration, I willing ly undertook the task of sounding pub lic opinion as to the advisability of at tempting to undo, so far aa possible, a great wrong. The result Is Interesting. I have be come a target and the recipient of many letters, mostly of an unfriendly nature, but almost every one protesting against "re-opcnlng a closed book.” One charming and intelligent writer from New England pay* high tribute to the valor and good qualities of General Lee, Gordon and others, and affirms that the South "had the ablest gener als, but your Jefferson Davis waa not to be compared with our Abraham Lincoln.” (?) He adds: “Don’t attempt a monument to Wlr* at Andersonvllle!’ Here too Is a candid admission: “Be tween you and I It would make little difference In results, whether Wlr* was guilty ns charged* or not. so long a* the thousands who sufTered there, nnd their million of friends, believe he was, and cannot be convinced to the contrary. From an Indiana city near to the bor der come warnings, almost threats, of possible action by congress at solicita tion of some one of the “Patriotic or ders." which shall prevent the erection of any monument as suggested within ten miles of any federal cemetery. Another asks, "How long do you think such a monument would be per mitted to stand r To this and much else I do not attempt reply. In a paper read before the “Loyal legion" n member adds at the close of a paper giving account of some person al adventure at Libby rrison In the summer of 1862 this significant para graph: "In the light of subsequent event* comment* sre of little avail. It Is not necessary for me to attempt a description of this fiend Incarnate or to call attention to the difficulty—nay. Impossibility—of us who encountered these events, to allow memory' to have It* plav nnd vet have a deep fellowship (or those thus enssged to destroy u government so (rand In possibilities. The cry was 'treason must he mao* odious; 1 possibly the subsequent treat ment of those who Instituted and con ducted the rebellion wa* beet; but I Know that the feellnt must come to us st timee that Justice wse cheated, and the Iniquities of those sad day* were unrequited.” My personal belief and conviction ie that the South owes s debt, that she I* In honor bound to pay this debt; Just how this can. be done Is as yet a mat ter for examination. IVe need a monument which af firms the truth, that the Confederate authorities were not responsible for the suffering at Andersonviie, hut that the refusal to exchange prisoners an declin ed by the United States military com mander was the one vital effectlvo fac tor in perpetuating this Infamous con dition where prisoner and guards suf fered end died, being victims not to l>er*onal hnte, or cruelty, but to the necessity of prevailing nnd overcoming the foe. So the sacrifice was made and their cause triumphed nnd now we are K ut on notice that the truth should not e told, but that we are to forgive and to forget. I must believe that the mon ument should be built and the Inscrip tions so modified ns not to irttate those who come yearly to visit the graves of those who perished there, martyr* In deed, victims of the spirit of war, which Is alwsys cruel and destructive. WILLIAM RILEY BOYD. GROOMING THE DARK HOR8E. To the Editor of The Oeorgian: Your brilliant editorial under the caption, "A Great People nnd a Mad Campaign," at firs; glance elicits the commendation of those who deplore the unfortunate political circumstances In Georgia today and admire clean, courteous and fair conduct In public and private life. You will not regard tue impertinent, presumption* or dis courteous, I thust. If 1 suggest that the effectiveness of your editorial was se riously Impaired by s courteous omis sion. This may have occurred by ac cident, or It may have been Intentional. The omission refered to Is this: After discusing with remarkable di rectness and felicity of expression the real situation, pointing out with Im pressive truthfulness the very unhappy situation that tins arisen from the mase nf Inuendo, sarcasm, insinuations of personal corruption and general charges of infamy and unfitness upon the part of all the candidates In the race fort governor of our great etate, you politely and courteously make It appear that all are honest and upright men, omitting to set forth the fact that everyone had In some way vllllfled an opponent, making charges of corrup tion In private or political Ilf* some where. The fact that any one of these gentlemen who are In the race ha* de-. scended to so low a plane a* to Indulge In. unfavorable nnd hurtful critlciem of hi* opponent render* that candidate morally and ethically Ineligible to the high position to which he aspires. This. Mr. Editor, Is your omission. Pardon me for suggesting It: I mean no per sonal offpnse. . Now, your cartoonist furnished for The Georgian of August I a suggestion of the relative standing of the several candidates us they run. on the "home stretch," toward the goal.' In the rear Is, very naturally, a dark horse. We Ie lithe of limb and seemingly not weary, it Is true, hi* colo. Is black, but who knows but that toward th* end of the race he may be transformed Into a magnificent snow-white charger In the person of some tree, clean patriot of unspotted record, private Hf* untouch ed by the dlrtv hand of scandalised publicity and heart generous, heroic “Ho'w’gtnrtoti* It would be, elr. If the great people of our great common wealth would stir themselves and, rl*2 Ing In their strength, put the seal of everlasting condemnation upon the dis graceful conduct which has been pa raded before the world by certain men and newspapers of Georgia during this campaign by electing some man who has the abllty and the character that will fit hint for the high offlea of chief .executive, but who has not the political ambition to offer himself nor the en slaving devotion of some ring or news paper corporation to drag his name and reputation Into the miserable mess to which the people of Georgia and the South have been treated during rerent months passed. For this high position, Mr. Editor. I suggest, as the real "people's candi date,” Colonel J. C. C. Black, of Augus ts; Colonel Isaac Hardeman, of Ma con, u; some other disinterested gen tleman of their type. Yours, truly, O. a DEAN. Porter 8prlngs, Go., Aug. 10, 1900. INDOR3E8 THE EDITORIAL.
