It was a living and full-blood ed testimonial of the supreme confldence In which one man, for tho vigor of his Intellect and the purity of hts fktrpoae*. Is held by his appreciative fellow countrymen. It has been almost a year since Mr. Bryan started | out to mako a tour of the world. He had already at tained to that dogreo of wisdom where he realised his own relative lgnornnco and he was anxious to avail him- "8?rror every opportunity to study tho customs and insti tutions of oilier people and of other countries.

Every hotel was crowded with delegations, banners blazed on the hotel fronts and the occailon looked more like a ratification meeting than a mere welcome to a great American. It was Bryan’s greatest day. He has finally and definitely convinced his countrymen without regard to party |lnea that he la sincere and In this connection he stands to America today as Gladstone did to England. Every state save South Carolina and Oregon bad del- egatlona here and each delegation brought an invitation to Bryan to visit them. North Carolina and Georgia have combined their ef forts to have him visit the two states as their fairs come at the same time. Much concern had been felt over Bryan’a speech, as It carried such tremendous Importance to the party. Par ticular apprehension was felt over the advocacy of gov ernment ownership of railways, aa It overlooked the sepa rate cars for whites and blacks, but Senators Bailey and Culbertson, who had seen a rough draft of the speech, expressed satisfaction with It. The Garden speech lasted about two houri. After wards Bryan addressed another larger overflow meeting In Madison Square. No such ovation haa ever been paid to a private citizen In America as was accorded the Ne braskan. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. Unite For the State Fair. But little more than six weeks now remain before the state fair will open Its gates to the peopte of Georgia, and coincident therewith will be the reunion of the large family of Georgians who have made homes for them selves In other state*. The Indications are that the fair this fall will be the most elaborate and complete ever held In the state. Sec- rotary Weldon and his able coadjutors are working with all the zeal and energy of their natures to make It Inter esting nnd attractive from every point of view and we feel sure that they will succeed beyond their fondest dreams. There can be no doubt as to the splendid resources of tho state and the marvelous strides our people have le In commerce and Industry. Our looms and spin dies are multiplying year by year and tho amount of capital invested In Southern enterprises Is always on the Increase. With our unparalleled climate and Inexhaus tible resources there Is no reason why each passing year should not moro and more confirm our title as the Em pire State of the South. And there Is no way In which we can get a better Idea of this prosperous condition than by seeing the ac tual exhibits spread out before us—tbe fruits of the field and the factories and the products of tbe forests and the mines. And now to this Is to be added the home coming week. Already the sons and daughters of Georgia who have taken up their homes In other states and have* Identified themselves with the people of other communi ties are beginning to talk about this great reunion. They will not only be able to meet the friends they loft behind them here, but they will meet the Georgians of other states and all will meet and mingle In this happy reunion. Nothing should be allowed to distract the attention tries, If he would have a clear Insight of the of the people from the state fair. It should be the pur- economic conditions In lands beyond tbe seas, he could acquire It perfectly only by going In person and studying these conditions In the midst thereof. During hit tour of the world he has had an opportunity to confer with the lending thinkers of every country he has visited.

The next state fair must be the greatest and best In the history of Georgia and we have every i-eason to believe that such will be the case. Russia’s Army and Navy. Other centers of interest have not succeeded entire ly In diverting public attention from tbe sltuaUon In Rus- Thcro Is nothing, to be sure, which mnkos It essenUal jsla, and It la realised that the fate of the empire depends that tho chief executive of the United States should be a upon the loyalty of the army and navy, man who hns "taught him other tongues and In strange William E. Curtis, writing from Russia to The Chi- eyes tins mnde him nut a stranger," but It la undisputed -cago Record-Herald, says that since the dissolution of the ¥ that such experience furnishes a valuable equipment for one who Is to be called to this high station. And hence, Mr. Bryan Is measurably a more availa ble man for tbe presidency than ever before. His address on Thursday night was pitched upon t high, plane. This keynote was antagonism to the trusts which are recognised as the great and ever-growing menace to the prosperity and happiness of our people. He brings back with him from his tour of the world a re newed conviction that tho income tax, so far from being a radical and revolutionary measure. Is regarded as con servative and soundly efficient by every country In which It haa been adopted. But this Is not the time to enter Into an extended analysis of this great speech. Suffice It to say that It was eminently worthy of tho man and the occasion, and con- firms that lofty position In which the people have always placed th* great and gifted commoner—William Jennings Bryan. Another Assault on Language. It language was really given us to conceal our thoughts, this Is a nighty good time to employ It for that purpose, for verily the nations of the earth appear to have given tbemaelres over to the harrying and uproot- lug of their mother tongues, until iwtlence Is exhausted. The English speaking peoples are still In s frame of ’mind over tho presidential order requiring that the freak Knelling which me outgrew some 300 years ago shall be retrtved end that the rules of grammar shall henceforth constat entirely of exceptions. We were In the very midst of this philological emeute with President Eliot espresstng opkjons which woe Id hardly go through the malts an<yM^^^Rooaevett ab solutely hsssrdlng his chances by iho manner In which he has objections, nly we discover that of word- doumn the tabor group, the social Democrats, the social revolutionists, the Jewish "bund” and the other radical organisations have been making energetic efforts to cor rupt the army. They have sent emissaries Into every garrison, prepared eloquent appeals to the soldiers, beg ging them not to take the aide at their oppressors, but to stand with their fathers and brothers In the fight for liberty. They have declared a boycott against all sol- diem who support the government when they return to tbetr homes at the conclusion of their three years’ ser vice. Their printed notices, which have been circulated by hundreds of thousands In every garrison and camp, contain s warning that the names of all soldiers who sup port th* pollcb will be recorded for future reference, and that such traitors to their people and their friends will be wise not to return to their homes, because It they do they will find retribution awaiting them. Continuing, Mr. Curtis says these appeals have more or less effect In corrupting tho army and exciting dis content. and the leaders of the revolutionary parties have been equally active In working up the mutinies that have occurred at the different military posts. The outbreaks at Helelngfora and Cronstadt, which have been described In detail by the telegraphic correspondents, are the consequences. The military nnthorttles have evl- dcnce that they have been In preparation and Impending for some time. There was to be a simultaneous out break at Helsingfors, In Finland, and at Cronstadt, the Gibraltar of Russia, at the mouth of the Rtvs Neva, a few mlloa from St. Petersburg, but the plane of the con spirators were discovered and the authorities captured their signaling apparatus and code and arrested fifty of thslr leaders, which demoralised tho participants. The Helsingfors mutiny we* precipitated by the unexpected arrest ot 200 of the men. The commanding officer, who, through his spies, had been kept informed of the devel opment of th< mutiny, took advantage of a funeral which as attended by the soldiers without their arms to arrest the ringleaders, but their comrades were too quick and Black Sea fleet, has recently received a written demand signed by more than 2,500 of hlB sailors which reads very much like the platform of the social revolutlonarj party and was Inscribed at tbe top of the first page with the words "Land and Liberty," tho motto of that organi zation. The sailors not only ask that their own Individ ual and common wrongs be remedied, but undertake to regulate the politics of the nation, and declare that the entire fleet will revolt unless the peasants are given all the land they want, unless general amnesty Is declared tor all political prisoners, unless capital punishment le abolished, universal suffrage granted to the people and the ministry made responsible to,parliament There have been continual troubles and disturbances In the Baltic fleet, which, by the way, is under the com mand of the Grand Duke Alexander, a cousin of the czar, who visited Chicago during the Columbian exposition and commanded the Russian fleet that participated In the na val review at New York. Alexander Is one of tbe ablest of the Imperial family, a profound student and scientist, but extremely conservative tn his views and a staunch de fender of tbe autocracy. While Inspector general of the Russian nary before the war with Japan, his criticisms of Its condition caused a quarrel with, his uncle, Alexis, who was admiral In chief. The emperor supported Alexis, but could not very well turn down Alexander, for the latter Is the husband of bis sister, Xenia, his favor ite of all tbe family. So he created a new department of the government to take over all matters concerning the mercantile marine, and placed Alexander at the head of It. The now line of steamers between Libau and New York Is one of Alexander's Ideas, and he did a great deal to develop Russian commerce. The disclosures of the rottenness of the navy vin dicated Alexander when It was too late to do any good, but the czar recognized the propriety of doing something to compensate for bla humiliation, and made him com mander In chief In the place of his uncle Alexis. The South’s Natural Resources. In tbe series of articles which have appeared on this page during the past few weeks many arguments have been brought to bear and many facts and figures have been presented to show that this was the most prosper ous and progressive section of tbe country. The whole story Could not be put more tersely than to use the language ot The Manufacturers' Record, which says that coal and Iron, the foundations ot the world's chief Industries, the bases of the vast wealth of Great Britain, Germany and Pennsylvania, the moving forces of all civilisation, ate found In the South In quantity, proximity and cheapness of production on a scale not elsewhere duplicated In the world. "Of coal the South has nearly three times as much In area and many times as much In quantity as Great Britain, Germany and Penn sylvania combined. Of Iron ore the 8outh has certainly one-half of all tbe known ore of the entire country. Measure If you can the limitless possibilities, the vast wealth of tho future of this section.” BOOKER WASHINGTON'S OMISSION. To the Editor of The Georgian: | here read Booker V.'itKhington'e address to his peo ple, and while he mentioned the fact about the lawleiV ness of his race, ho failed to call on the good and law- abiding class of his people to Join lu the hunt of the white man In running down the fiendish brutes and de- spollers of our women. The white man does this against his own race, why not the negro do the same thing? I would suggest that we do In Atlanta what they are going to do out In the county. The police department admits It lias not sufficient force to patrol tho residence portion of the city properly, and give It the protection It needs an-l requires. Therefore, why not appoint ‘special officers ftom among our reputable citizens—say two to every block In Atlanta—nnd clothe them with police power. Tho reputable and law-abiding citizens of Atlanta will gladly volunteer their servicea In this direction free, and It tt III give us police protection that will awe the negro Into becoming a law-abiding citizen until other means can be found to get rid of him altogether. A TAXPAYER. STOOD IT LONG) ENOUGH. To the Editor of The Georgian: I wish to be one of the number who heartily Indorse your editorial published In Tbe Georgian, "The Reign of Terror Must End." It must end at onco or the South and not only the South, but the United States, will be ruined. Wo have stood It long enough. I do not see why we should lay /down our liberty and tho honor of our womanhood for which our fathers fought and died for the negro to ruin. Shall we stand aside and see this take place, or shall we step forward and save tbe Anglo-Saxons' blood which our fathers so purely and proudly handed down to us? It Is time for us to do something, and we should strike while the Iron Is hot and settle this question now and forever. Gentlemen of the Caucasian race, why not decide this question at once? Shall we any longer see our mothers, wives, daughters and slstors subjected to tho brutality of the negroes? May God speed the day when the end of the “Reign of Terror" ahall come. It has gone so far that a lady cannot walk on the streets of Atlanta, the city of the South, without being Insulted by the negroes for whom we have done so much. Shall we tolerato It longer? 1 ask you men ot the Caucasian race? As for myself, I am ready to take any step to protect our women. Truly yours, WILL L. LOVE, a Georgia Boy. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 28, 1906. A FRIEND TO WOMANHOOD. To the Editor of The Georgian: You have certainly shown yourself a “friend in need" to Southern womanhood, for which I wish to thank you from the depths of my heart Your editorials on this subject have made mo feel aa It I could just whoop and yell for you. I am a working girl and live In a suburb of Atlanta. It Is after dark when t leave my work tn the city and when I leave tbe car on my way home I have to go through a dark street alone, where only the goodness of God keeps mo safe. I am generally very brave, but of late I am terrified If I am out alone after dark, and do not even feel safe during the day. My opinion Is that ever since the negroes were freed they have been nnd always will be a source of torment to white peopte. 1 dou't think I shall ever be satisfied until the last one haa been sent to some distant country. It they are scared Into subjection now It will only bo a matter of a few years before It will all havo to be gono through with again. Yours truly, WORKING GIRL. East Point, Ga., Aug. 30, 1906. REVIVE THE PAROLE SY8TEM. To the Editor of The Georgian: To say that I enjoy your editorials would be but put ting It mildly. I have always enjoyed them. The great question today 1- how to heal the sore that Is so terrible In the South, and In my humble way I wish to call your attention to a few things as we pass along In this im- perunt discussion. r lrat. Georgia has a vagrancy law that ought to bo rigidly enforced. When the law was first enacted the police and grand juries tried to have it enforced, but when the enthusiasm passed away. It was forgotten, and the negroes are still loafing. Now why is this relaxation? Is it because of no land to till, no pine trees to be cut, no railroads to be built? No, firms are begging for labor every day. Now l believe that every negro should be forced to carry a pass properly signed to show who he Is and what kind of character he has, or be arrested and Investigated effectually. This would protect the Inno cent and punish tbe guilty negro. I don't believe any man has a right to loaf. Now, Mr. Graves, you watch; just as soon as this agitation dies out trifling negro men and boys will be hanging around on the street corners singing: "What's the use'n me workln’ so hard. When I got a girl In the white folk's yafd. She brings me meat and she brings tae lard— An' there ain’t no use’n me workln' so hard." And some officer of the law will .pass them by with out asking them for their passport or the Sign of work In their hands. Now, why shouldn't the officers of the law be forced to make the loafers obey the law 366 days every year? Not one day—be on the lookout every day. I am sure if they were constantly on the alert observing everything that takes place In sight or hearing, much good would result therefrom. Let the good people get down to something practical. That will tell In results.

Every one good or bad lovee the man or woman who le giving time, talent and money to the cause of humanity. We must not, however, toee tight of the fact that there le In this aa well aa In all other work a right and a wrong way. Many good causes have suffered, many haVe been defeated by the zealot. The religious fanatic will do the cause ot Christianity more harm than all Its avowed enemies can poailbly do It. Tha unselfish, modest, quiet, conserva tive man whose life Is based upon prin ciples of love and Justice will do more to promulgate the religion he proteas es, by demonstrating the beauties of such a life, tha Influence and useful ness ot right living, than all the loud mouthed ranters about preparing for a future world could do In an eternity. We must first demonstrate to the world that we know how tn live this life before the world will accept our teachings of one which we know not of. The age of credulity la rapidly pass ing, the age when the great masses were willing, without stopping to think for themselves, to accept os true the professions ot the Ignorant and super stitious who claim to have passports to Heaven, and that all who are not fol lowing the route mapped out by them are bound for the other side of the great lake. The world- is beginning tn realise the fact that each and every Indlvldu.* I haa tha same right as any other individual to the exercise ot hts or her Ood-gtven faculties. The world Is appealing to reason and tn common- sense rather than to superstition. It la calling for ami demanding something more tangible than what some one has said, whether he Itves today, or lived hundreds of year* ago. He who pro- ■ to be fottnwtng tn the tracks of the Lowly Naaarene must furnish something more substantial than mere assertion: hie life and nettone every day must corroborate hts teachings on Sunday If he especte reasonable, sensi ble, thinking people to believe him. If he advertise* tils route he must at least pay the printer, or the printer Is likely to give hint away, and then he te left to travel hie narrow way alone. Now It may be that my views of this matter are erroneotia. but one thing t am absolutely certain of, I am entitled to the same rights and privi leges that I moat heartily accord to every other individual, the tight of candid espresslon. of honest convic tions. on all questions tn which men are alike Interested. This le the only means of progress. I atu fully satis fied that those who circulated the pa pers above referred to are honest of purpose, actuated by good motives, but a certain minister of this city, aay that he had derived more spiritual benefit from his preaching than any other to whom he had ever listened. thing of the life of the aforesaid gen tleman, and I would not have had to go three blocks from where we were standing to pojnt out a party who had been robbed of that for which he had faithfully and conscientiously worked r number of years, by this man who violated one of the oldest and moat firmly eatabliahed customs of the busi ness world, a custom founded upon Justice, to the Injury of this party.

Now should a man of such Ideas of Ufe be ad monished to "Get right with God?" No, emphatically, No!

The honest man does not have to go through the world proclaiming his honesty; hts neighbors know it. The honest man does not do so.

For years negro mass meetings have been held for the purpose of lifting the negro and to have him cultivate a de sire for higher morals nnd Industry, but this element of negroes whose am bition reaches Its aenlth when nn op portunity presents Itself; to Iny unholy hands upc~ * — --— - — upon a woman are those » n o know not the sanctity of a home and still less the dignity of labor. The negro whose head Is trained to think, hnnds to work, and heart to love nnd ndore hts Creator ts Just as far above com mitting a fiendish crime as the Anglo- Saxon Is above the Hottentot. This lower class of negroes will for ever remain unmoved. In spite of mob law or Klu-KInx clan. Tbe only way to eradicate this lustful, fiendish crime le by the separation of the races. Let the philanthropist* of the North who are lavishing their millions to su perficially educate the negro of the South, charter ships enough to trans port them to the land of their ances try and their millions will be better spent. Every thinking negro knows that some day this tidal wave of law lessness will cause the floodgates of a Justifiable passion to b* torn asunder nnd overwhelming destruction follow. With the calmest Judgment the out look for the negro In America Is either emigration or extermination. These ebony-hued rapists are not worthy to be called negroes. They are fiends, brutes, beast* of tb* lowest type clothed In the ehadowy garb of a sc-m- Ing humanity. 8. MELVILLE PITT, Pastor A. M. E. Church. Lexington, On.
