Cstvml as second-class matter April 25, ISOS, tt tbs Pottofllea at Atlanta. Gs.. under act ot confrere et March A IPS. Now for the State Fair. By tonight the die will have been cast and tomorrow “the tumult and the shouting dies." It has been a long, strong campaign of absorbing in terest and bitterness, but when the ballots are counted and the result is known, provided there is no possibility of a contest In the convention, the hungry state will look •round for something more to stimulate Its Interest. Here In Atlanta we have something right at hand, and it it the state fair and the home coming which prom ise to be the most notable and important in the history of the state. It Is altogether Important that we should bsve a good governor and a good mayor and a good man in all the other offlces to be filled today, but when this Is settled we must return to the work of upbuilding the city and the state, and knitting together those ties that bind one section of the state with the other. So let us ail unite, as soon as today's conflict Is ovsr, In making the state fair of next October the most successful In the history of the state. The attractions already provided are such as should induce thousands ot visitors to come to Atlanta during the fall festivities, The evidences of Georgia’s growth and development will be large and convincing and then the home coming will be one of the most unique and delightful features ever devised. There are thousands of Georgians scattered through, out the country. Wherever they have gone they have carried the thrift and the culture of the Empire State and have made a place for themselves In the life and prog ress ot their adopted home. ' But they would be glad to return to the red old bills of Georgia and mingle once more with the friends and companions of their youth—those here and those gather ed here from the widely separated sections to which they have gone. This Is something on which the wholo state can unite. There is no bitterness and partisanship In this event It Is to be a festival ot love and good will and * testimonial of our civic and Industrial strength. So as soon as this contest ot today Is over let us all unite and make the state fair a great success. Brenau College and Its Lesson. in educational Institutiona, at In all other forms ot public enterprise, It is the progressive* and courageous spirit which produces results and establishes reputation. No college In the South has done more to vindicate this proposition than Brenau College, located at Gaines ville. From the first day that Prealdenta VanHooae and Pierce took charge of the college In Gainesville, It began • progressive career In which every year has marked some new and vital Improvement along the lines of mod em education. In the first place, the original college at Gainesville wae changed to Brenau College, and was established from the very beginning upon a foundation of admirable merit la the personnel and attainment of its faculty, and In the equipment ot ita several school* after the most heroic liberality. The Brenau College established at Gainesville soon naked among the first of the state, and the enterprising proprietors conceived the design of establishing other oolleges upon the same foundation of merit in other states. They have already established the Alabama Brenau at Eufaula, which In its first year recorded a phenomenal Success, filling tho building to Ita capacity, end they are now erecting a beautiful new building as a mark of the appreciation and generosity of the people ot Eufaula. Brenau College haa just begun a building for a high grade military academy at Gainesville, to cost $40,000, and to be the most completely and perfectly equipped ot any similar building In the South. Other notablo buildings will be erected aronud the site of the original college. In addition to Its other attractions Brenau has or ganised a Chautauqua association and will next summer at beautiful Chattahoochee Park put Into operation a great summer school modeled after that parent Chau tauqua la New York. Brenau has done more than this. It bfs had the audacity to croes the ocean and establish • branch institution In Paris, that such of Its students as may wish to do so may receive the advantages com ing from foreign study and travel. It ts not strange that applications have already poured In for the nett year tor a connection-with this foreign school. Brenau Is now moviog to eetabllsh a school In New York and In Wash ington when young ladles from the South, after finishing their eouraee at Gainesville and Eufaula, may spend a year lu the capital' or metropolis of tho United States. And each of these great schools Is united In one splendid chain, working under a perfect system which wilt con tribute to the success of the other. The achoot Is al ready drawing patronage from all over the United States. North and South. Students are registered from Con necticut and from California. One of the things which haa been found moat attractive In this great Brenau system Is the fact that It has the best organised school of oratory In the entlra South, affiliated with the great Emerson school of Boston, and the graduates of Brenau are accepted without question Into the full fellowship of the Emerson school. Now, we submit to the Judgment of tboee In Georgia who are interested In vigorous and progressive methods of education that these phenomenal and magnificent achievements entitle the presidents of Brenau College to the appreciation and the congratulation of the people of the South. Surely no Institution started under such circumstances and with so little capital has done so much and done It so rapidly, to build up the fame of the college and the educational reputation of th^ state. We feel that editorial-Indorsement and congratulation Is the faintest possible recognition for work so advanced and so liberal and so beneficent aa this college haa done. The career of Brenau marks a new era In the educa tional growth of the South, and the mark of progress which it has established will force in necessity and In competition a corresponding effort which will raise the standard of every female school in the South. All of which adds new emphasis to the heartiness The Way to Save Our Women. Whether Hoke Smith wins or lose*-in the battle of the ballots the race queatlon will live on, and In its vary ing emergencies it must be met until It Is finally answer ed in the only and inevitable way. The Georgian struck a key note on yesterday which is stilt vibrating in the heirts of this people today. We have learned the great truth that lynching does not stop the crime against our women. We have reach ed by elimination the conclusion that other experiments must be tried to Intimidate the criminals of the negro race. One of the most hopeful of these experiments seems to be a statute authorising the mutilation ot the criminal and the branding of him on the forehead with the letter "R" significant of his crime and making him an object of suspicion for the rest of time. The other experiment is to devise some new and mysterious form of punishment wrapped in darkness and in mystery which will appeal to the terror and to the superstition ot the criminal negro. But. beyond these and above these and more poten tial than all others, is the stern and insistent demand of our white civilization that the leaders of the negro race shall give us from this time forth that co-opsration which they have -heretofore refused. The South is growing Indignantly tired of negro tirades In central cities against the lawlessness of lynching. We are tired of negro plati tudes and resolutions against the injustice of the South toward the nepro. And we have utterly lost patience with those paclilb preachments which cry out for law and order on the part of the white man, while they spend no time nor breath nor effort In thundering to their own people the earnest and passionate denunciation of thess criminals who make the chief tension and the deadly friction between the races. ‘ Now see here: The South ha* for $5 years befriend ed the negroes in every practical way. We have helped to build their churches, we have helped to austaln their schools, we hive buried their dead and^helped to main- tala their living sometimes In Idleness and sometimes In want. But now as one unit in the mass ot Southern sen timent, The Georgian lifts its voice and protests that henceforward it wili give no dollar and lend no aid and no co-operation to any negro institution until Us officers, its preachers. Its teachers and Us editors shall Join with us in thundering into the ears of the negro race the warning and denunciation ot this horrible crime. Without passion, or at least without passion which is not richly due and Justified, we ask our brethren of the Southern press and our Caucasian friends and brethren everywhere to take this firm and unalterable stand—that they will help no negro church, newspaper or school until they know that Its preachers. Us teachers and Us editors In those Institutions are thundering the doctrine of hell and damnation to the assailants ot white women. Now this Is fair. It Is Just, and It Is right.* The South le living under a shadow which no man can estimate. Men whose public duties call them to pub lic meetings are held at home because they are actually afraid to leave their families alone even In the shelter and sanctity of their own homes after nightfall. Men cannot go to church for the same reason. And this, please God, la the South. We are free people and a great country. Are we to live forever under this shadow and under this terror? Are we to sit still and help to build up these negro Institutions when they are silent and apathetic toward the peril In which their criminals put the beat element ot our race? Are wo to co-operate with these people to build up Institutions In which they do not preach the enormity ot these offenses? Are we to be forever held In a state of selge with our women trembling In fear and terror when they are alono? Is the liberty which our fathers bought with tbelr blood to bo surrendered to the foul terror of an alien and sub ordinate race? We tell these teachers, these preachers and these editors that they have the most vital Interest In this af fair. If tho boundaries of restraint are ever brokon by this Caucasian rnco In a wild spirit ot retaliation for a condition which Imprisons and terrifies the noblest women of tho world, they themselves will bo whelmed in the tidal wave which follows. And we say here and now to Booker Washington, to Gaines, and Turner, to Proctor and to Stinson and to the rest ot those who are so eager to rush Into print to plead tor law and order, that If they have any regard tor the future of tbelr race and tor themselves, they will take the hint which la not unkindly sent from this aroused and Indignant race of Caucasians, and will stand ahoulder to shoulder with us In demanding that every preacher In every country pulpit and every editor of every little 2x4 sheet and that every teacher In the city and country schools shall devote some part of his sermon or some portion of his editorial, or some segment ot his scholastic hours to preaching hell and damnation to all who are guilty of this fiendish crime. , We assure these men that the Caucasian sentiment of this country la now being aroused aa It never was before. We need not and we will not continue to hare our women live under the shadow of this fiendish fiiegro lust. We ere going to tree our women no matter what the cost may be to another race. There Is no wildness of passion and- radicalism In this announcement. If these men know anything they know tAat we demand It, and they know that demand Is firmly (tern and earnest. When they have dqne their best they will command our commendation and tho confidence of our race. But as long as they continue to howl resolutions against lynching and orate against lawlessness while they are shamefully silent toward the crimes which produce the mob. then the back of our hand Is against them and all that they represent. This is the position which tho present tragic environ ment sternly demands of the Saxon race, and we call up- As to Joyner and Goodwin. The Georgian understands that some ot the friends of Captain Joyner feel that they have been discriminated against by this paper In an editorial comment which Mr. Goodwin has been exploiting In his public advertisement This apprehension is absolutely without foundation. The Georgian has made but one editorial comment upon the municipal race. In that comment it spoke kindly of both candidates. If there was any difference in its com ments that difference was in favor of Captain Joyner, to whom we ascribed the largest possibility and a bette: chance of success. Mr. T. H. Goodwin with great enterprise and vigor seized upon the editorial paragraph relating to himself and haa used It with conspicuous publicity and zuccesz in the advertizing columns ot the city papers. Captain Joyner and his friends either through over confidence or through a failure to appreciate the value of the matter, have failed to make any use of the much stronger and more effective comment made upomhis candidacy. So that the fault is not by any means with the Impartial Georgian, but mutt be either attributed to the tuperior activity of Mr. Goodwin, or to the apathy and over-confidence of Mr. Joyner’s friend*. No honest judgment can find anything to complain of in the treatment which this paper has accorded to both candidates and of the decided leaning which It evi denced toward its older and nearer friend—Captain Joy* tier. , What Congress Really Appropriated. It requires some little time after the adjournment of congress for tho clerks of the appropriation commit tees to make up the budget and determine Just how much money has been appropriated. Tbia report has just been completed and tt is shown that the appropriations for this first session of the fifty- ninth congress did not reach a billion dollars. But, in the language of the topical song, it "was near it, very near it" To be absolutely accurate, the appropriations amounted to $879,689485.16. The Nsrw York Commercial, which gives out the figures, shows that In addition to the specific appropriations made, contracts are authorized to be entered into for public works, requiring future appro priations by congress in the aggregate sum of $20,687,- 200. These contracts cover the following objects and amounts: Fort Mason, Cal., $760,000; West Point Mili tary Academy, $1,700,000; torpedo boat destroyers and submarine torpedo boats, $2,760,000; public building in Baltimore, for light vessels, light houses, life-saving tug, derelict destroyer, heat, light and power plant and sub way system for capitol and other buildings, and for school buildings In the District of Columbia, $2,018,700. new public buildings throughout the country. $13,368,600. A comparison of these contract liabilities, with those of the last session of the last congress, amounting to $26,770,067 shows a reduction of $6,182,867. The new offlces specifically authorized are 6,934 In number, at an annual compensation of $6,616,870.51, and those abolished are 6,525, at an annual compensation of $4,010,109, a net increase of 1,649 in number, and $2, 606,761.51 in amount. Ot this net Increase In number, eight are for the library of Congress. 26 tor the Department ot State, 63 for the Treasury Department (Including 48 for the office of the treasurer of the United States), six for the independent treasury, four for the War Department, three for the Navy Department, 16 for the Department ot Justice, 49 for the Department of Agriculture, 116 for the government ot the District ot Columbia (Including 33 school teachers, 12 firemen, 20, policemen and 22 cm- plpyeca for the alms hquse), 17 for the military prison 62 for the diplomatic and consular service, 61 for the military establishment, 38 for the naval establishment and ljtt for tho postal service (Including 36 assistant postmasters, 798 clerks In postofflees and 592 railway postal clerks). Deducting from tho net Increase of 1,649 new salaries and employments the 1,366 additional employees for the postal service, there remain only 283 net Increase In em ployments for all other departments and branches ot the public servete. The net number of salaries Increased Is 688, at an annual cost of $374,419. Of this number 28 ar* la the senate, 24 In the house of representatives, 11 In the Navy Department, five la the Department of Commerce and Labor, 17 In the Department of Agriculture, 147 In the District of Columbia, 274 in the diplomatic and con sular service and 10 In the postal service. The remain ing Increased salaries are In various branches of the public service, and involve generally small amounts. Continuing, the New York Commercial says that a comparison of the total appropriation for the first session of the fifty-ninth congress—$879,589,186.16—with that of tho last session of the fifty-eighth congress—$820,- 184,634.96—shows an Increase of $59,404,660.20. The principal Increases by setd are aa follows: Agricultural act, $3,047,750, of which sum tho amount of $3,000,000 la tor meat Inspection service; diplomatic and consular act, $968,046.46; postal act, $10,673,905, in cluding $3,030,000 for the rural free delivery service; sun dry civil act. $31,726,319.66, Including $26,456,415.08 as a new Item for the Isthmian Canal, and more than $6,000,- 000 Increase In sums required to meet contracts author ised for work on rivers and harbors The deficiency, acts show an increase ot $7,466,746.73, but they include as. new Items $$6,990,786 for the Isth mian canal, which If excluded would Indicate a reduc tion on account ot the deficiencies as compared with .the previous session of $9,645,039.27. The appropriations made in miscellaneous acts exceed these ot the previous session by $24,748,202.29. including $ld,250,000 under the new statehood act, $10,276,500 tor new public building! and $1,000,000 for arming and equipping the militia. The permanent annual appropriations are reduced $6,760,000; the fortification act shows a reduction of $1,- 693,900, and, as no river and harbor act was passed, a reduction of $18,181,876.41 la made on that account. Other Increases and reductions are made in the va rious acts, the whole showing a net Increase, as stated, of $59,404,650.20, which sum Includes $42,447,'201.08 for the Isthmian canal, as a new element ot expenditure. A RAP FOJt ALL OF THEM. To the Editoi of The Georgian: The varieties of Democrats now being exploited be fore the people of Georgia i* strange, wonderful and remarkable. A few years ago the Hon. Thomas E. Watson, then a Populist leader and canvassing the state for the Popu list ticket, said in a speech delivered at Cordele that there were then seventeen kinds of Democrats In the United States and he named most if not all of the varie ties and aald that he had-been Invited and urged to return to the Democratic fold, but bo said that he really could not tell which fold to enter with so many doors all open wide and labelled the true Democracy: and he did not enter because of the uncertainty .of getting Into the right fold. But tt seems after some years of wandering In the bleak and barren hills of Populism, he has found the right door and entered the right fold and has proclaimed Howell. Dick Russell, IIIk Jim Smith and tho South Gcor gla candidate, J. H. Estlll, Say he has not come Into the right fold and ho Is still a prodigal, a wandering freak, a tremendous fraud, a terrible deceiver and not worthy to be called a son of the Simon-pure, unadulterated Democ racy. So It seems we still have five varieties of Democra cy left even In Democratic Georgia, and now It 1b in order for the man who holds midnight cqmmunlona with Hoke Smith to bring out the best robe and a ring and put them on blm, kill the fatted calf. On with the dance; sound the loud timbrel over the land, the lost Is found, tho dead Populist Is a live Democrat In one branch,-division or fold of Democracy known as the Hoke Smith kind— and Thomas must have discovered that this fold was tho Simon-pure, blue-ribbon, red-shirt, all wool and a yard wide, unadulterated Democracy, since he has always pro claimed in no uncertain voice his Jeffersonian Democra cy. Now tho situation demands that the rank and file who are anxious to get Into the right fold of Democracy be enlightened, since the followers of the Hon. Clark How ell claim they are the only true blue, Simon-pure Dem ocrats, and have the machinery, and control the court, which Is tho biggest thing In all the kinds offered, for one good counter Is worth twenty to fifty voters at most of the polling places. Then he should be a skilled manip ulator of tickets, ready to supply the right kind at the right minute and In the right place, for the fold that will win Is tbo fold that has the best counters and most skilled manipulators. Now the Clark Howell shepherd Is crying aloud In the hills and highways In startling head lines In bis paper, The Constitution, now infamous for Its distortions and misrepresentations—that the Hoke Smith wing and leader Ib a fake—a fraud, insincere, hypo critical, a defrauder of men and desplser of the rights of women—without conscience or humane feelings, favoring negroes rather than white men. Now this smells a good de&l like a fish factory In June. But these other three good and true Democrats. The Sputh Georgia candidate, who knows he can not bo elected but Is out for an airing of his good deeds and pure Democracy, and the defense ot bis section. He lores the piny woods and wlregraaa South Georgia so well that ho wants a governor to come from Ita homes. AH'right, Brother Estlll, but did you ever sup port a South Georgia candidate when one offered? How about the Norwood-Colqultt race? Which side did you take, and bow much did you contribute to pay taxes ot negroes to vote In that election? Let’s be consistent. Col onel Estlll.' When Dupont Guerry, a South Georgia man, was running as a Prohibition man, did you not oppose him, and announce In Albany, Ga., that you were a whisky man—wanted more and better whisky. Now we all know this wsb good, sound Andrew Jackson Democra cy and it Is strange that Thomas E. Watson or Hon. James Hines did not enter your fold when they were seeking the genuine, Simon-pure article of Democracy— and you are offering to lead your followers np to the gate of Clark Howell fold, and If possible, push them Into nls gate. But there are many old rams In your flock and followers who can’t be driven in that fold and will break and scatter over South Georgia and go home to read the splendid things you said of W. J. Bryan four years ago In your paper. Now you and Clark have both a mud- slinging machine, but when the campaign Is over you may have trouble to restor .' the mud and sluah, and to replace some of the mud-holes and cesspools you have created. Now you have had this advantage of poor Dick Russell, whose chief recommendation Is that he Is a poor man with nine children and wants an office and wants one bad. He needs It In his business of taking care of wife and children; he wants to ornament the lawn around the governor's mansion with his splendid family, and if be had the Simon-pure Democracy to offer he too might havei had Tom Watson, Yancy Carter or Charlie McGregor helplhg him lead and drive his herd. But like the South Georgia candidate, his followers are In a narrow limit; the bounds of his former judicial cir cuit; and they can and will only be led up to and. If wsslble, Into the Clark Howell fold. Since poor Dick las no mud-slinglng organ, he. will have to draw by his good looks and explaining his true and tried Deiribcracy and then he said so first—even before the Divine called had been summoned to lead the hosts of Simon-pure Dem ocracy of the good old Grover Cleveland kind, had an nounced, and that is a long way back, as we all know. Dick ought to have chartered him a mud-sllnger. This Is his weak point. Then we have Big Jim Smith from tho hills of Big Creek, Oglethorpe county. Ho whose Democriicy Is of tho true Lucinda kind as they call It In that god)! old county. ' And who by blood money wrung from manacled human beings, workeq 10 tbe limit of human endurance, can buy him n mud sllnger and set his Larry Gantt going with bis little 2x4 organ, and who can ride over middle Georgia In a palace car seeking help, not to elect him for be knows he has no chance, but his Democracy la so pure and genuine that he can help the other fellow beat the fellow that Tom Watson favors and In whose fold Tom and a lot ot his kind have entered—when they aee the still waters and tbo green pastures before them—and Big Jim will have less trouble to drive In and turn over hts fellows to the other fold than the South Georgia candidate, because he has a stronger hold on them and they cost more and will be closer watched when they come to the grand rounding up ot the Inno cents. Now this Is the situation as It appears to an out- alder on the eve of this grand rounding up of forces, and If there was ever a more corrupt, dirty, mud-sllng- Ing, slanderous, vicious, unholy political struggle In Geor gia It was more than fifty years ago, and the stench of this kettle of flsh will disgust and annoy the nos trils of decent people for years to come. And yet the pure Democracy In live doses is offered. Which shall we take to relieve the situation, which Is critical? Echo answers which. a VET. THINGS TO THINK ABOUT. The English vocabulary of a slum child ot 6, ac cording to a Scottish school inspector, contains only two or three dozen words. That of the average child of tho middle classes ot tho same age Is about 1,000 words It Is said that the hides of American live cattle Boat to England to bo killed and eaten are by prearrangement all sent back across the Atlantic, there to be tanned, and mayhap reahtpped to England as leather or In boots and shoes.
