Surely Georgia has done a tardy lint appropriate thing In setting aside $15,000 to preserve the memory of James Oglethorpe in bronze. It would be scarcely a pardonable thing If Georgia at this advanced period of Its civilisation, Its greatnesasand 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 its impetus toward the great history which It hffs recorded. The age Is material, but the age will become Igno ble when It mocks at sentiment, at the traditions of the commonwealth, and at men worthy either of glory or of prosperity; when It forgets Its nohlo and heartful obli gations to those who have done the most for Its life and for its history. It was a noble and a gallant thing to remember the chivalrtc Gordon of our inter days, and the hearts of Georgians rejoice nt the appropriation and applaud the legislature which act apart thin money for his name. But it Is still n more timely and appropriate thing that Georgia should reward that Immortal Kngllshmau, that first Georgian, grenter than Gordon and more memora- Mr. Brantley’s Interesting Views. To The Georgian the race question is the profoundest Issue in our Southern civilization, and wherever It occurs it enlists the dee|>e8t Interest and concern of this news- ble than any Georgian of modern times, who founded upon the banks of the Savannah the commonwealth which has grown to be the empire state of the 8outh. It Is a fact not generally known that outside of a modest shaft nt Frederica, there Is no monument to Ogle thorpe In the state of Georgia. And this Indeed Is shameful fact. It Is a comment most damaging to the patriotism and the sentiment of the state that our found er and our benefactor and the very greatest mnn In our history should have been left unknown to bronze and unenibalmed In memory through all these years. Georgia Is tardy beyond expression In - not having greeted long ago a monument to Juntos Oglethorpe. It Is time yet to redeem the serious and most criminal omis sion. and we are sure that the state will be glad, and that the governor will rejoice to affix his signature to the bill passed by the legislature. If the editor of The Georgian stood In the governor's shoes und held the ex ecutive pen In his hand, he would write beneath Ills 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 bo erected by the I1G.000 given by the state, and the $10,000 guaranteed by the city of Savannah, will stand us the property of Geor gia, It la 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 Spaniard! In Florida. The outlying townships were given the same names as the squares so that the townships' Inhabitants In time of danger might flock to the forts In the squares whose names they bore. By tho aet of 1760 it was decreed that these public squares might be used by the lot-holders adjoining for places of recreation. But a subsequent act of the conrta declared some thirty years ago that these squares still'belonged to the state under tho original act and purpose of James Oglethorpe. The James Oglethorpe statue wilt lie placed In Chip pewa Square Just opposite the opera house and In the center of the city of 8nvnnnah. When It Is com pleted both the square and the statue will be the prop erty of the state of Georgia, and will Btnnd ns a tnrriy but noble expression of the gratitude and 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 memories. The Typhoid Season. The season of the year has arrived when tho mor tality from typhoid fever and malaria Is highest. We have In mind no specific violations of tho city health regulations, either on the part of officials or the cltlsens In general, hut the months of August, Septem ber and October an distinctly lead nil other months of the year in the mortality from these discuses that we are Impelled to sound a timely note of warning and urge upon the people of Atlanta to put their premises in (lie best possible sanitary condition. There Is no contin gency In life where the proverbial ounce of prevention Is so well worth the pound of cure as In the mutter of san itation. and this Is especially true at tills season of the year. In order that the dangers of this and the two suc ceeding months may be fully realized, In this respect, we draw from tho mortality statistic* of the Census Bu reau, Just Issued for the five year period ending with 1$04. No one will accuse us of lack of patriotism If we make It known, in the Interest of tho general welfare, that while the mortality In the United States from all diseases Is the smallest In the world - , with the excep tion of Norway and Sweden, the mortality from typhoid fever la higher here than In any Kuropeuti country ex cept Italy. As the director of the census well points out "there Is room for a great Improvement In the applica tion of well known measures for the prevention of this disease." The smallest number of deaths from typhoid fever Is in the month of June, and the mortality Is not great In July, hut with the coming of August the deaths be gin In earnest. The tables from which we quote show that out of every 1,000 deaths from typhoid fever 53.7 occur In June, 69.5 occur In July, while 103.7 occur In August, 119.(1 In September and 118.6 in October, after which time the average begins to decrease again. As 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 live year |>c- rtod reported, the proportion falling from 77 i»er 100,000 of population In 1001 to $9 In 1903. 66 In 1903 nail 60.S In 1904. So It is a matter of gratification that the dl*> Its appearance In the present campaign Is compar atively incidental and is to a large extent unfortunate. It is to be regretted that this mighty question which demands the freest, falrhat and most unbiased Judgment of our people should be complicated and handicapped with the bitterness and the partisanship of a factional campaign. Wherever the Issue occurs, The Georgian can do no less thnn declare Its whole heart for any movement that seeks to establish either In whole or In frart one of the great principles upon which our minds are settled and fixed upon the race problem. We desire supremely ns an act of far-seeli/g statesmanship, as n sedative to present conditions, and as a preliminary to any final settlement that the relative status of the races shall be fixed In this Southern country ly- statute and by public oplnlpn. Wherever nny phase 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 about us. The dangers are too menacing, the future hangs too much In the balance of any public de cision or pronouncement which we nmy make. We sim ply cannot afford to take any backward step now. or at any time In the solution of this great matter. The Issues 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 lias been much Interested In the recent comments of Congressman Brantley, of the Eleventh district. We have much respect for Mr. Brant ley. We esteem him to be a gentleman of ability, of char acter and of personal dignity. ‘ We have been struck with the fact as reported in the daily papers that Congressman Brantley declares himself heartily and unhesitatingly In favor of disfranchisement, although he fiercely opposoa the candidate running upon that platform, and explains tho Inconsistency upon the theory that he does not be lieve the method of disfranchisement proposed by that candidate is either constitutional or effective. We accept this statement at Its face valuo 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 verdlcta are rendered by weight of evidence from reputable witnesses. And wo submit to Mr. Brantley's Impartial consideration tho fact that the vast weight and preponderance of evidence In this case rests with those active and distinguished citizens of Ala bama, Mississippi, Virginia, lamlslann and the Carolines who declare that the dsfranchlsentcr.t laws of those states have worked beneficently to the purification of pol itics and to tho safe establishment of white supremacy. There are, Indeed, some single cltlxena of a private atatlon, and one or two men of public station In those states who have taken nn opposite view. But we are quite sure that Congressman Brantley will not deny that the great bulk of lhe testimony from public men who are in a position to know and to understand, rests with those who iwlnt 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 me;i In better position to know have Indorsed the law In all Its workings und have declared that these states would protest by a two-thirds or a three-fourths vote, any prop osition to change these statutes without the substitution of a better one. We submit to Mr. Brantley's consideration that the wholo weight ntid preponderance of evidence Is In favor of the disfranchisement laws In operation In our sister stales, and that the objections to It are sporadic and, comparatively speaking, unrepresentative. For the teat, wo take Mr. Brantley nt his word, and believing him to be. ns he says he la, an ardent nnd un qualified ndvoeato of disfranchisement, we submit to him thnt It would he wiso nnd statesmanlike for Georgia to pass now definitely and emphatically U|»n this general question while It Is so clear an Issue, nnd to trust to hint and to other statesmen of the state to perfect In tho framing nnd execution of this Inw whatever methods we may derive from onr own thought nnd study and from any defects which exist In the InwH of our sister states. The great Issue Is to let Georgia speak definitely and decisively upon this Issue. Let the stato and the people put themselvea uikmi record. I<et us put this Issue once und for all behind us nnd trust to the wisdom, the sa gacity and the patriotism of the state and Its statesmen to execute It In wisdom, Justice and moderation. All other questions nnd nil other personalities sink Into Insignificance beside this transcendent issue. 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 demoralizing spectacle of a score of tots singing nnd begging on the streets dur ing those hours of the night when they ought to be safely In bed. It Is regarded as unfortunate that there appears to be no law directly covering the ense nt this time, to the full est extent, hut it certainly lies In the power of the mayor to sec to it that these children nre taken off the streets. Investigation showed that these children were being eared for in a self-styled orphanage, where, It was dis covered. there was not enough food for the children, much less for the able-bodied care-takers, that there was no adequate system of religions instruction, as had been claimed, nnd that the total regular income for the sup- liort of the children and the adults tn charge of them, outside o( street begging, was six dollars a month and a few donations of provisions. In short, the alleged orphanage has nn regular and recognized status, and at the same time I: Is felt that a great wrong Is being done these children of tender years by bringing them out nightly on she streets to sing and beg. As City Warden Evans points out, Atlanta spends large sums every year for the care of orphans tn organ ized homes, outside of tho aid given by the county, nnd some arrangement should be made for protierly provid ing for these children through the homes supported by these funds. Atlanta Is a great and prosperous community. Her heart hn, always been In the right place, and she has | always res|>oiidod to every worthy appeal for charity. We Ilia la already on the decrease here. At the same time. ' do not believe that it Is wise or beneficial that such char ity as that In question should be encouraged, where these little children are kept on the streets singing and beg ging when they ought to be at home In bed. At any rate the matter has now been brought defi nitely to the attention of the people and of the officials of the city. The situation, It Is agreed. Is one which calls for prompt and efficient attention, and this we be lieve It will receive. The Atlanta Georgian has rendered the farmers of the South a distinct service in stirring up that Cotton Association crookedness—Rome Trioune. Our honest motive was to serve, and It pleases us to have The Tribune, one of the very staunchest of all the friend* 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-alx columns In The Journal abont Hoke and Clark. And these be dog days! Sirius, the dog star, biases In the sultry skies, and Mars, the nartlal planet, baa swapped places with the type of public life. They are men of honor, of unusual culture, elegant manners and of unlmpeached 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 politic* have re tired 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 same time-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 mail to own a sboep. If the dogs begin to kill the sheep the-dogs should be muzzled—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 lz offensive curb It by statute and restraint. But do not oppress ! GOSSIP tranquil earth. ^. 0 , Ur . IV °* * t _ renuo,l * P 0 '* t *f , an< * then comes the property in answer-to faction or demagogy. The detsruc- tlon of the lobby lays upon legislators an added obligation calm that follows after strife, and the wounds that are the aftermath of battle. Let ns 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 onr civic mouths and scour tlie woods for dark horses to receive the honors of our Indig nant people. It will be time enough to fix the responsibility for thl. campaign of billingsgate when the battle Is over. But soon or late, It ought to be fixed and remembered— and forgotten. Hon. John Temple Graves, "as a member In good standing of the Hed Close 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 dashed 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 relations” w th each other. Why does the Hon. John Temp, go so far from home to attempt pacification? He la having a rough house of the most variegated variety right under his very nose In Atlanta. If be can do something toward sup pressing the Hon. Hokosmlths and Clarkhowells and retainers he will then have a right to start some thing modost In the way of restoring Tom Watson and Editor Pendleton to fellowship.—Spartanburg, S. C., Herald. We are pimply practicing peacemaker on Pendleton and Watson. This is a business that requires Infinite skill and experience. When we get up nearer to tho standard of .tbs expert we wilt go out after Clark and Hoke. ‘ Stovall and Anderson.—Members of the present leg islature have expressed a very genoral regret over the retirement of Representatives Stovall and Anderson, of tho county of Chatham. Few members of the present lower house of the general nasembly have been so uni versally popular and respected ns the'Se distinguished gen tlemen. Messrs. Stovall and Anderson represent the highest to be fair to vested Interests. Isn’t that clear? The Atlanta Georgian, whose preference, If It has any. In the gubernatorial contest In Georgia, we do not know, has a cartoon "In the Stretch—The Finish In the Georgia* Gubernatorial Stakes as ft Looks. This shows Hon. Hoke Smith to be considerably In the lend, with Editor Clark Howell second and the three or four other aspirants, Including the ever-pos- slble dark hdrae, bringing up the rear like the steam calliope In the circus parade. Mr. Smith has all along appeared to be In the lead, but this statement Is not near so Important as the assertion that the contest Is soon to end.—Charlotte Observer. We are seeking to be cheerful, brother, and nothing that we can say to this people In this campaign gives them so much comfort ns the assurance that it will soon be over. ' The August number of The World Today reproduces Artist Brewerton's rate bill cartoon, "It's a Wise Father That Knows His Own Child," as among the most nota ble brought out during the discussion. Mr. Brewerton's work is receiving a great deal of admiration all over the country. Some folks will say now that they know whore the funds came from to start The Georgian. It Is about time for Colonel John Temple Graves to be putting' In his denial.—Wilmington, N. C., Messenger. No, we will tnake no denial. We still brazenly confess that the funds came from Mr. Fred L. Seely. Editor John Temple Graves picked a mighty good time to start his new Atlanta paper.—Nashville (Tcnn.) Banner. Any time Is a good tlmo to start a good paper. Word from Bombay tells Us the Jam of Navanagar Is der .. Ho ..as a il preserved old man. The day after the primary Is August 23. Growth and Progress of the New South Money in Truck Farming. The 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 a 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 an Instance where one farmer last year cleared $50,000 from his crop of cabbages, which he raised near Charleston and shipped to Northern markets. * The Tradesman 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 that are derived from truck farming. From one shipping point In southwest Texas there was realized during the present season $350,000 from Berumda onions. An Italian renter In the Mississippi delta cleared $15,000 last year by raising pepper, which he shipped to the great packing firms In Chicago. The strawberry crop around Chattanooga this year netted thfc raisers over $300,000. Cullman county, Alabama, was settled In the '70’s by a colony of Ger mans, nnd It was then the poorest portion of the state, while today It la one of the most flourishing counties In Alabama—and all accomplished through truck farming nnd fruit raising. Hut such Is the soil and climate of the South generally that vegetables of all kinds are easily raised, and ytese contribute jso much to the economy of life that the wonder Is there should he so many who flock to our towns nnd cities, only to eke out a miserable existence when they could live In comfort on a very small tract of latpl In the Houth. 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 fnct easily demonstrated, and clearly shown from the few Instances given above, that there Is money to be made in truck farming, and as this does not require very much of an 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 n field for the thrifty Immigrant that Is not equaled elsewhere, 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 imputation become wedded thereto. , GEORGIANS IN GOTHAM.

Mr. and Mrs. Trask, abandoning their beautiful country residence on which more than $1,000,000 has been spent In fitting It with everything that luxuri ous taste could suggest, will spend the summer In a canvas tent on n little Island on Lake George. Mrs. Trask was attacked by an affection of the heart and physicians advised the open air cure. Tents were erected In the grounds of Yeddo, where Mrs. Trask could spend the day In the air. The results were so favorable that It was decided Mr*. Trask could live out-' doors entirely this summer, and one «»f the little Islands in Lake George has been selected. Another startling departure has been taken by the Long Branch "summer girls"—that is, those of them who are proud of their lltpbs.
