Alabama Street, Atlanta, Ga. the fact that the typhoid months are upon us. should be a sufficient Incentive to our people to take those pre. cautionary measures which are certain to reduce the number of cases to the minimum. The fall of the year Is a very beautiful season, with Its flaunting banners of crimson leaves, but It Is the season of decaying vegeta tion, and therein Ilea the danger. Clean up Entered as secoml-rlasa matter April J5, isos, at the roetogtee at Atlanta. Ga.. uniter act of conffreaa of March L lift. Georgia’s Tardy Remembrance of Oglethorpe. Surely Georgia has done a tardy but appropriate thing In setting aside 115,000 to preaerve the memory of James Oglethorpe In bronse. It would be scarcely a pardonable thing If Georgia at this advanced period of Its civilisation. Its greatness and the most prosperous time It has ever seen In Its long and illustrious history, should hesitate for one moment to expend Its money In an enduring tribute to the states man. soldier and philanthropist who founded the com monwealth and gave It Ita Impetus toward the great history which it hns recorded. The age la material, hut the age will become Igno ble when 1t mocks at aentlment, at the traditions of the commonwealth, nnd at men worthy either of glory or of prosperity: when It forgets Its noble and heartful obli gations to those who have done the moat for Its life and for Its history. It was a noble nnd a gallant thing to remember the chlvnlrlc Gordon of our Inter days, and the hearts of Georgians rejoice at the appropriation nnd npplnud the legislature which set npnrt this money for hla name. Rut ' It Is still a more timely aniL appropriate thing Hint Georgia should reward Hint Immortnl Englishman, that first Georgian, greater than Gordon and more memora ble than any Georgian of modern times, who founded upon the banks of the Savannah (he commonwealth which has grown to be the empire state of the South. It Is a fact, not generally known that outside of a modest shnft at Frederica, there Is no monument to Ogle thorpe In the state of Georgia. And this Indeed Is shameful fact. It la a comment most damaging to the patriotism and the aentlment of the state that our found- • er and our benefactor and the very greatest man In our history should have been left unknown to bronze and unembalmed In memory through all these years. Georgia la tardy beyond expresalon In not having erected long ago a monument to James Oglethorpe. It la time yet to redeem the serious and most criminal omis sion, and we are sure that tho state will he glad, and that the governor will rejoice to affix hla algpature to the bill passed by the legislature. If the editor of The Georgian stood In the governor's shoes nnd held the ex ecutive pen In his hand, he would write beneath his sig nature to the hill making the appropriation the words: "This appropriation should have been doubled or trebled by the body that made It." The statue of Oglethorpe to he erected by the $15,000 given by the state, and the $10,000 guaranteed by the city of Savannah, will stand as the property of Geor gia. It I* not generally known that every public square In Savannah belongs, not to the city, but to the state. When the city was laid off these squares were establish ed by Oglethorpe, not for places of recreation, hut for places of defense from the enemies In South Carolina and the Spaniards In Florida. The outlying townships were given the same names as tho squares so that the townsblpa' inhabitants In time of danger might flock to the forts In the squares whose names they bore. Uy the act of 1750 It was decreed that these public squares might be used by the lot-holders ndjolnlng for plnces of recreation. But a subsequent act of the courts declared some thirty years ago that those squares still belonged to the etate under the orlglnnl net and purpose of Jamda Oglethorpe. Tho James Oglethorpe statue will be placed In Chip pewa Rqttsre Just opposite the opera house nnd In the center of the city of Snvnnnah. When It Is com pleted I Kith tho square and the atatue will he tho prop erty of the state of Georgia, and will stand ns a tardy hut noble exprenalon of the /ratltude nnd appreciation of • great people toward the soldier, the statesman and the philanthropist to whom they .owe their highest obliga tions and their most loyal and grateful memorlen. Thf Typhoid Season. The season of the year haa arrived when tho mor tality from typhoid fever and malaria Is highest. We have in mind no specific violations of the city health regulations, either on the part of officials or tho ettieens tn general, hut the months of August, Septem ber end October so distinctly lead nil other months of the year In the mortality from these diseases that we are impelled to sound a timely note of wnrntng and urge upon the people of Atlanta to put their premises In the beat possible sanitary condition. There Is no contin gency tn life where the proverbial ounce of prevention Is so well worth the pound of cure as In the matter of san itation, and this Is especially true at this season of the year. In order that the dnngeru of this and the two suc ceeding months may be fully realised. In this respect, we draw from the mortality statistics of the Census Bu reau, Just Issued tor the live year period ending with 1004. No one will accuse us of lack of patriotism It we make it known, lu the Interest of the general welfare, that while the mortality In the United States from all diseases It the smallest In the world, with the excep tion of Norway nnd SwMen, the mortality from typhoid fever Is higher here than In any European country ex cept Italy. As the director of the census well iioluta out "there Is room for a great Improvement In the applica tion of well known measure* for the prevention of this disease." The smallest number of deaths from typhoid fevif is In the month of June, and .the mortality la not great In July, but with the coming of August tho deaths be gin In earnest. The tables from which we quote show that out of ever/ 1,000 deaths from typhoid fever 53.7 occur In June. $9.5 occur In July, while 103.7 occur In August, 119.6 in Septemoor and 118.0 In October, after which lime the average begins to decrease again. At a matter of fact, Atlanta has been showing a steady decrease In the number of deaths from typhoid fever during the last four years of the five year pe riod reported, the proportion falling from 77 |ior 100.000 of population In 1901 to 69 In 1902. 60 tn 1903 nnd 60.8 In 1904. So It is fgse to already on the decrease here. At the same time, Mr. Brantley’s Interesting Views. To The Georgian the race question is the profoundest Issue In our Southern civilization, and wherever it occura It enlists the dee|>est Interest and concern of this news paper. . Its nppearance In the present campaign la compar atively Incidental and Is to a large extent unfortunate. It Is to he regretted that this mighty question which demands the freest, fairest and most unbiased Judgment of our people should be complicated and handicapped with the bitterness nnd the partisanship of a factional campaign. Wherever the ISBiie occurs, The Gcorglap can do no less than declare Its whole heart for any movement that seeks to establish either In whole or In part one of the great principles ilium which our minds are aettled and Hxed U|um the race problem. We desire supremely as an act of far-seeing statesmanship, as a sedative to present conditions, and aa a preliminary to any Anal settlement, that the relative status of the races shall be fixed In this Southern country by statute and Uy public opinion. Wherever any phnae of this question Is presented to the people of Georgia It should he answered freely and fully and definitely along the lines of this proposition. We cannot afford to go backward. The difficulties are too great shout us. The dangers are too menacing, the future hangs too much In the balance of any public de cision or pronouncement which we may make. We sim ply cannot afford to take any backward step now or at any time in the solution of this great matter. The lisucs of the present campaign are subordinate and the personalities of the present campaign- are com pletely overshadowed by the transcendent weight and significance of this mightiest and most vital of all our problems. The Georgian has been much interested In the recent comments of Congressman Brantley, of the Eleventh district. We have much respfcct for Mr. Brant ley. We esteem him to bo a gentleman of ability, of char acter and of personal dignity. We have been struck with the fact aa reported in the dally papers that Congressman Brantley declares himself heartily nnd unhesitatingly In favor of disfranchisement, although he fiercely opposes the candldatu running upon that platform, and explains the Inconsistency upon the theory that he doea not be. Ileve the method of dlsfranchlaement proposed by that candidate Is either constitutional or effective. We accept this statement at Its face value and note it with respect. The Inconsistency from our point of view consists in the fact that Mr. Brantley Is himself a law yer and realizes that verdicts are rendered by weight of evidence from reputable witnesses. And we submit to Mr. Bruutley's Impartial consideration the fact that the vast weight and preponderance of evidence in thla case resta with those active and distinguished cltlsons of Ala bama, Mlailsalppl, Virginia, l-oulslnna nnd the Carolines who declare that the dsfranchisement laws of thoae states have worked beneficently to the purification of pol itics and to tho safe establishment of white supremacy. There are, Indeed, some single citizens of a private station, and one or two men of public station in thoae states who have taken an opiioBlte view. But we are quite sure that Congressman Brantley will not deny that the great hulk of the testimony from public men who are In a position to know and to understand, rests with those who point to these states as object lessons of the le gality and effectiveness of the disfranchisement law now advocated In Georgia. If ten men In any state have criti cised the law or questioned Its operation, a hundred ine.-i In better poaltlon to know havo Indorsed the law In all Its workings nnd have declared that these states would protest by a two-thirds or a three-fourths vote, any prop- osltlnn to change these statutes without the substitution of a better one. We submit to Mr. Brantley's consideration that the wholo weight nnd preponderance of evidence la In favor of the disfranchisement laws In operation In our alster sla'es, and that the objections to It are sporadic and, coni|uirutlvely speaking, unrepresentative. For the rest, we take Mr. Brantley at his word, nnd bellovlng him to he, ns ho says he Is, an ardent and un qualified advocate of dlsfranchlaement, wo submit to him thnt It would ho wise and statesmnnllke for Georgia to pans now definitely and emphatically upon this general question while It Is so clear,nil issue, and to trust to him and to other statesmen of the state to perfect In the framing nnd execution of this law whatever methods we may derive from our own thought nnd study and from any defects which exist In tho laws of our sister states. The great Issue la to let Georgia apeak definitely and decisively upon this Inaue. I.et the state and tho people put themselves.upon record. Let us put this Issue once and for nil behind us nnd trust to the wisdom, the sa gacity and tho patriotism of the state and Its statesmen to execute It hi wlidom, Justice nnd moderation. Alt other questions and all other personalities sink Into insignificance beside this transcendent issue. Ity as that In question should be encouraged, where these lltUe children are kept on the (treeti singing nnd beg ging when they ought to be at home in bed. At any rate the matter haa .now been brought defi nitely tb the attention of the people and of the officials of the -city. The altnaUon, It Is agreed. Is one which calls for prompt snd efficient attention, and thla we be lieve It will receive. The Atlanta Georgian has. rendered the farmer* of the South a distinct service In stirring up that Cotton Association crookedness—Rome Trioune. Our honest motive was to serve, snd It pleases us to hare The Tribune, one of the very staunchest of all the friends of the Cotton Association, to say that we have served this great body well. Four Days More. Twenty-seven columns In The Constitution about Clark and Hoke. Twenty-six columns In The Journal- about Hoke and Clark. And these be dog days! Sirius, the dog star, biases in thelaultry skies, and pped places with the type of public life. They are men of honor, of unusual culture, elegant manners and of unlmpeachcd Integrity upon public and private questions. They have reflected great honor upon their constituents, and have represent ed their great city and county with Its vast interests of commerce and of civilization with distinguished dignity and with equally distinguished ability. The state of Geor gia has lost In these gentlemen two of Its most capable' and patriotic public servants, and, although the exigen cies of the current condition of Chatham politics have re- Ured Messrs. Stovall and Anderson from the present arena, we cannot forbear to say to them In parting not goodbye, but “au revolr." The Atlanta Georgian wants the lobbyists curbed, but advises fairness to vested Interests. That sounds very much like the East Tennessee politician who wanted a dog law that would protect sheep and at the asms tints safeguard the Inalienable right of a voter to own a dog.—Chattanooga News. Well, why not? A man has as much right to own a dog as another man .to own a sheep. It the doge begin, to kill the sheep the dogs should be muxzled—that's all. The state does not want honest legislation affected by the pernicious activity of the lobby. But no honest state would care to turn over the Interests of vast properties to prejudice and demagogy. When the lobby to offensive curb It by statute and restraint. But do not oppress Mara, the narttal planet, ha* awapi tranquil earth. F ° ur > _ of P°l ,u ^ and^than oomea the property In answer to faction or demagogy. The detsruc- ” * J "’ * * lion of the lobby lays upon legislators an added obligation, calm that follows after strife, and the wounds that are the aftermath of battle. I^t ua all brace ourselves and bear It as best we can. And let ua all highly and herollcally resolve that If ever a lot of candidates come before us again with such tactics and with such a spirit, that we will as a people spew them out of our civic mouths and scour the woods for dark horse* to receive the honors of our Indig nant peoplo. /- It will lie time enough to fix the responsibility for thi- campaign of billingsgate when the battle Is over. But soon or late. It ought to be fixed and remembered— and forgottea. Hon. John Temple Graves, "as a member In good standing of the Red Cross Society of Georgia Poli tics,’' Is standing on the Great Highway and seeks to pour oil on the seething waters of Journalistic de bate which have been dnshed Into a perfect fury of late by the Hon. Tom Watson and the Hon. C. R, Pendleton, He would have these "noble Georgians'' restored to "friendly relntlons” w th each other. Why does the Hon. John Temp, go so far from home to attempt pacification? He is having a rough house of tha moat variegated variety right under hla very nose In Atlanta. If he can do something toward sup- iweislng the Hon. Hokosmltba and Clarkhowells and retainers he will then have a right to start some thing modest in the way of restoring Tom Watson and Editor Pendleton to fellowship.—Spartanburg, S. C„ Herald. We are simply practicing peacemaker on Pendleton and Watson. Thl* to a business that requires Infinite skill and experience. When we get up nearer to the standard of th* expert we will go out after Clark and Hoke. The Street Orphans. The entire community will sustain the mayor and the officers of the benevolent institutions of the city In putting a stop to the unseemly nnd demoralising spectacle of a score of Iota singing and begging on the streets dur ing those hours of the night when they ought to he safely tn bed. It Is regarded as unfortunate thut there appears to be no law directly covering tho case at thla time, to the full est extent, but It certainly lies In the power of the mayor to see to It thnt these children are taken off tho streets. Investigation showed that these children were being cared for In a self-styled orphanage, where. It was dis covered. there was not enough food for tho children, much less for the able-bodied care-takers, that there was no adequate system of religious Instruction, as had been claimed, and thnt the total regular Income for the sup port of the children and the adults In charge of them, outside of street begging, was six dollars n month nnd a few iSoituiiuna of provisions. In short, the alleged orphanage has no regular and recognised status, nnd at the same time Is felt that a great wrong Is being done these children of tender years by bringing (hem out nightly on the streets to sing nnd beg. As City Warden Evans points out, Atlanta spends large sums every year for the care of orphans In organ ised homes, outside of the nld given by the ctkunty, and some arrangement should be made for prn|>erly provid ing for these children through the homes supimrtcd by these funds. Atlanta Is a great and prosperous community. Her heart has always been In the right place, and she hns matter of gratification that the din- jalways responded to every worthy appeal for charily.

Ths Columbia State recently called attention to the enterprise of a Charleston man, who planted 32 acres of ground In Colleton county In po tatoes, from which he realized «i net profit of $14,000. This led The Charleston News and Courier to' dilate on the product iveness of the coast section of that state nnd gave nn instance where one farmer Inst year cleared $30,000 from his crop of cabbages, which he raised near Charleston and shipped to Northern markets. The Tradesmari says that If these Instances were not stated on such reliable authority they would be deemed Incredible, but there are evidences on every hand of the great profits thnt nre derived from truck farming. From one shipping point In southwest Texas there was realised during the present season $350,000 from Berumda onions. An Italian renter In the Mississippi delta cleared $L*,00Q last year by raising pepper, which he shipped to the great packing firms In Chicago. The strawberry crop around Chattanooga this year netted the raisers over $300,000. Cullman county, Alabama, was settled in the ’70’s by a colony of air mans, and It was then the poorest portion of the state, while today It Is one of the most flourishing counties In Alabama—nnd all accomplished through truck farming nnd fruit raising. Rut such Is the soil and climate, of the South generally that vegetables of ail kinds are easily raised, and these contribute ho much to the economy of life that the wonder Is there should be so pmny who flock to our towns and cities, only to eke out a miserable existence wherf they could live In comfort on a very small tract of land In the South. The Tradesman wishes to see concert of action among those who con trol public sentiment In the South for a movement back to the farm, as a policy of development for this section. It Is a fact easily demonstrated, and clearly shown from the few Instances given above, that there is money to be made In truck farming, and as thls # does not require very much of nn outlay to begin with, few there are who need go hungry in the South when such means of earning a livelihood exist all around them. Here, says The Tradesman, Is a field for the thrifty Immigrant that Is not equaled elsew'here, and here Is a field for our own sons that should be kept before them In Its true attractiveness, until a more thorough apprecia tion Is created for the advantages of a farm life, and more of our native population become wedded thereto. , GEORGIANS IN GOTHAM.
