Col. Anderson and His Men.
There la never a rote without ita thorn and never a
tragedy without Ita hero.
The rosea which will grow out of the muck of civic
tragedies of the last two months will probably live In the
•erener peace and tranquillity of our Southern women and
In the more completely recognised security of our Anglo-
Sazou civilisation.
The heroes that grow out of the occaelon are more
than one. Many men have done gallant and timely
things during the progress of the riot that Is now at an
end, and many men of Atlanta have demonstrated their
claim to the reward and admiration of the people of this
city and of the state.
if we should strlko comment In tho secondary ranks
of official life our lists would be full of the subordinate
officers whose fidelity, courage and soldierly Intelligence
have helped so largely to bring order out of chaos.
But since we cannot well s|ieak of more than one man
at this time, let us say that the central flgtire In force
and In service who emerges from this embrogllo Is Clif
ford Anderson, colonel of the Fifth regiment of Georgia.
Colonel Anderson Is In point of fact an Ideal soldier.
Cool, resolute, unshakable In hlg balance, clear (loaded In
every emergency, and absolutely bravo, he commands the
unlimited respect of his lieutenants and the absolute con
fidence of the men whom he controls. He has added in
these trying days many and larger laurels to an already
high and well established reputation, am: It Is scarcely
too much to say that the bearing and the oxecutlvo ca
pacity of the colonel of tnc Fifth Georgia within tho last
five days stamps him as perhaps the first soldier of Geor
gia.
And wlmt has been said of tho colonel may also with
cordial and grateful approciatlou bo said In lesser degree
of bis officers and of his men. The majors, tho lleuten
ante, the captains and the adjutants have nil done their
eplendld and brilliant parts In those trying hours, and the
men behind them with choerfulness and admirable self
control and with unflinching courage have won the respect
and the admiration of the people of Atlanta fur their sol
dierly qualities and for tbelr devoted fidelity to the city
and to the state. i
Did Mr. Brantley Say It?
Mr. C. C. Rrantley, of Georgia, Is quoted as having
told The Washington Post that The Georgian had advo
cated the revival of the Ku Klux Klun to suppress tho
. negroes.
If Mr. Brantley, of Goorgla, skid this to The Washing
ton Post, he waa either misinformed or malicious. The
first paper to condemn editorially and locally this absurd
and anarchistic proposition was The Georgian. We ridi
culed It from Its first silly start from Its silly source,
and helped to laugh It out of any consideration.
Mr. Brantley ought to know more or talk less.
The Georgian has been In all this emergency the
most conservative paper In Atlanta except Tho Constitu
tion, whoso conservatism amounted to apathy.
While these fierce and flaming extras of Saturday
were being Issued to enrage the mob, never an extra
came from The Georgian. We saw the danger and held
back the presses.
A Dangerous Delay of the Law.
It has been represented to The Georgian that un
der the statutes of tho state no criminal can lie sen-
fenced to die until thirty days have elapsed between
the commission of the crime and his execution.
It strikes us that In cases like those which havo re-
cently aroused and distressed the state, this Is a bad law
and ought to be repealed. When a criminal Is convicted
of the’erime of crimes, the crime which Is transcendent
above all crimes, the crime which subordinates all crimes,
tha law should hasten and not delay the satisfaction of
popular vengeance, of outraged society.
It Is a terrible thing lor a woman whose life has been
worse than destroyed, whose happiness Is gone, and for
her husband, brothers rnd children who sit with her In
the ahadow of a forever darkened home, to wait for thirty
long days before the law vindicates and punishes the
crime which la worse than death and deadlier than as-
saaslnstlon.
It It has not already been done It ought as speedily
•as possible be the i»llcy of the legislature to repeal this
delay of law and to iiermlt execution to follow fast upon
a fair trial and Judicial condemnation.
If in no other Instance, there ought certainly to be
made an exception in this case, because In thle way only
can the Impatient eagerness and vengeance of an out-
raged people be satisfied.
And along this line It may be said as well that the
law should visit some vastly heavier punishment than
mere Imprisonment upon any criminal who vigorously
and viciously attempts an assault upon the virtue and lire
of a good woman. Legislators and cltlxers have only to
put themselves In the places of men and womon upon
whose famlliee this awful ahadow has fallen to realise
bow keen and poignant must be the shame and bitter-
ness, to know that the Bead who has wrecked a home
Hcarst’s Brilliant Victory and Its
Results.
With William Randolph Hearst against a frantic
fighting field at Buffalo, the New York editor has won the
gubernatorial nomination of the Democratic party upon
the first ballot by an overwhelming majority.
No tribute more remarkable baa ever been paid to
any man In the plctureaque and atlrring politics In New
York.
Three weeks ago Mr. Hearst was nominated for gov
ernor by the Independence League devdted to the over
throw of bosses, the cleansing of elections and the es
tablishment of clean government by the people.
The Democratic leaders Implored him not to accept
this nomination with the assurance that they would nom
inate him themselves. He held fast to !>ts convlctlous and
sternly refused.
Then the Democratic leaders urgently besought him
to postpone his Independence League convention until
after the Democrats had nominated him at Buffalo. This
was alio firmly declined.
Then the Democratic leaders once more Importuned
him to Induce bis Independence League to nominate only
the head of the tlcaet and leave the rest of the ticket
to be named by the Democratic convention on the 25th.
This alio Mr. Hearst very resolutely put aside.
And now after having refused all compromises, after
having dolled all bosses, after the most resolute and
scathing denunciation of many of tha leading politician!
of the Democratic organisation, Including those who have
held the machinery of tho party In their hands for the
past twenty years, tho Democratic convention on Its first
ballot, without a waver, by a vote of 304 to 130 nominates
the great reformer with unparalleled enthusiasm.
Fought by Jerome with a bitterness born of that apoa-
tate'a consciousness of hts own disloyalty to plodges
where Hearst has been so heroically true; fought by Me
Clellan, whose Impotency and weakness have been so
fearlessly exposed and so fearlessly fought; fought by
McCaren with all the venom of a defeated and belabored
politician In Brooklyn, William R. Haarat easily, tran
quilly and triumphantly rides the wave at Buffalo aa the
serene, undisputed and absolute master.of the situation
In New York.
With the regular nomination of the New York Demo
cratic convention In one hand, with the enthusiastic nom
ination of tho Independence League In the other, and with
the demonstration of hla unparalleled popularity among
the peoplo ns Illustrated In the last municipal election,
who can doubt William R. 1 (caret's sound, logical and
brilliant promise of n triumphant election at the Novem
ber polls*
The Democratic party could not do less than to nom
inate him. He was the only ninn who ronld win In New
York at this time. He was the only man whoso policies of
people believed. He was the only man whose policies of
sympathy and helpfulness with the rights and Interesta
of tha people were so dear, so vigorous, so thoroughly
consistent and so absolutely vindicated In actual results
that no other man approximated his hold upon tho confi
dence and affection of the mass of the people.
Mr. Hearst's nomination by these two distinct bodies
In Now York will Inevitably work a revolution In the pol
(ties of that state.
With all tho force of Roosevelt Indorsed by Hughes,
there ran be no estoppel of the tidal wave which Is going
to carry Mr. Hearst Into tho governorship. By tho eta
tlxtlcs of the last flew York municipal election, 40 per
rent of tho men who voted for Hearst In that election
wore honest Republicans disgusted with the greed and
graft of their party and- famished for a revolution that
would be tho means of putting honest men and methods
on top; 40 per cent of his supporters In the coming etate
election will spring from this same body of honest
Lincoln Republicans upon whose necks the yoke of psrty
no longer rests heavily and who have learned to place
public honesty and official purity above the shibboleth of
corrupt and selfish political organisations. And with this
40 per cent of Republican votes Joined to a solid support
of the Democratic party, outside of the Ryan-Jerome-Bel-
mont hybrids of the "Trust camp," It seems s matter of
absolute certainty that Mr. Hearst will be returned by
the next election as governor of New York by a majority
ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 votes.
If he Is—and the "It" seems scarcely necessary—what
then?
Well, then, he enters Into his political career absolute
ly vindicated of the fiendish and Infernal slanders with
which tho corporation and tmst monsters have hounded
every step of his Indefatigable and wonderful career. He
has eighteen months In which to Illustrate as governor
of New York an executive capacity which has never hsd
a superior among the public men of thla republic.
And If with this vlncldntlon and with this opportunity
this great and fearless Democrat “makes good,” as we
are sure he will "make good,” then thoughtful men—
Well, thoughtful men can see for themselves what tre
mendous possibilities are trembling along the national
hortson of the Democratic party.

OUR PLA TFORM-—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning its own gas and elec
tric light plants, as it now owns its water Tooths. Other cities do this and get gas as low as 60 cents,
with a profit to the city. This should be done at once. The Georgian believes that if street rail
ways can be operated successfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they
can not be so operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and it may be some years be
fore we are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOW
Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria Is a distinguished or
nithologist, and his knowledge of the science of birds Is

Shows Is whare you go to forglt that
you haven't got much munny to pay
rent & the butcher. Tlinrc are 2 kinds
of shows, goad shows & bad shows:
had shows are divided In many dlffcrnt
kinds, all of which can be seen In New
York & other places.
New York Is a grato town for shows
that Is the nlsest thing ubout our
grate city.
Tho kind I like best Is mellerdrams,
whare the hero Is blit like mister Jef
fry* A hits the vlllun on the nnas In
Act 1, 2 & 3. In the flrst Act thare Is
a scene whare the sawmill Is In work
ing order & the hero Is tied to the log
& the' log le going to the saw.
Save him! hollers the heroes lady
love. He Is on the log & he Is aleaping
like Mister Jeroam, Is thare no man
here strong enuff to salv him?
1 Will! says tho boy detektlv, I will
save him or lose my oan life, A tho boy
detektlv throws hlsself against tho saw
A the saw stops beekaus the dolsktlv
lias on a fancy vest with big buttons
A the buttons stop the saw.
Anothfr show I like Is the coinlk
opry. 85 gurls corns out with long hair
A short dresses A sings "Hall to tho I
Sultan, he Is heer!" Then tho Button
cums out A says What Ho, my fatth-
■futwlves. Sultnns are from the East
A are always pollght. so they call thare
household "my falthfulwlves." Then
the funny man cums out A says "the
Limited Mnll Is cummlng A there Is a
tall off the track, whare Is the rail?"
A the hero saye 1 will find It, 1 am
Harkshaw!
Thare Is only one kind of play rnalks
me cry, that Is the farmer play, thare
are 6 cows, 8 horses, 24 kids A n barn
In the scene. Also thare are 8 farm
ers, one of them says "Ben, we shall
have to sell the old homesled, I bet It
on the Giant* A you know the rest
Then Ben sets up on the fence A
says We shall never sell the homested.
A the other farmer says all rite, then
I will welch for the sake of our fath
ers h inm A mine.
Thare Is another kind of play I like,
but I doan't like It vary much. It Is
the problem play. The gurl cum* In
A says Whare I* tho 8-room flat you
promised me? Then the feller says
Rents Is too high In New York, let us
talk a 5-room flat A the gurl says
You kur! I wnnt you to know I euil
have married a Pittsburg mllllonntr;
A the vtllun says farewell. I doant
know wleh vlllun, everybody Is a vll
lun In a problem play.
That's all 1 know about shows.
A FAMOUS POEM.
J. L. McCreary, who for the past
thirty years had been a government
clerk at Washington, and who died a
few day* ago at Duluth, was the author
of the familiar poem beginning with
the stanza:
There t* no death! The stars go down
To ii>6 upon norno fairer snore.
And blight In heaven's Jeweled crown
They shine for evermore.
This poem, which has. appeared In so
many school readers and collections of
poetry, has been commonly, but errone
ously, credited to the pen of Lord Ed-
srd Bulwer Lytton.—Nashville Ban
ner.
Destruction of Birds.
From The London Telegraph.
Ladles who patronise the use of
birds’ feathers In millinery may be
Interested to know that certain spe
cies of bird* are threatened with ex
tinction by the prevailing fashion. The
French organ, L'AvIculteur, reports
that In one market recently nnd at
one sale there were disposed of U.ooo
hummingbirds, 38,0#n paroquets. 15,000
kingfishers, 20,000 aigrettes and many
thousand other birds of gorgeous plum
age. Oermany sends to London every
year 20,000,000 feathers to be worked
up Into trimmings. The one hope for
the poor birds Is that the day may
soon arrive when to wear the feathers
of wild bird* will be deemed bail form.
Nothing else can save them. The
greater their beauty tbs worse tbelr
Impending fate.

You call me an angel of love and light,
A being of goodness and heavenly Are,
Sent out from God's kingdom to guide you aright
In paths where your spirit may mount and aspire.
You say that 1 glow like a star on Its course,
Like a ray from the altar, a spark from the sourco.
Now, list to my answer, let all the world hear It;
I speak unafraid what I know to be true:
A pure, faithful love Is the creative spirit
That makes women angels. I live but In you.
We are bound sout to soul by life's holiest laws.
And If I am an angel, why, yo* are the cause.
As my ship skims the sea I look up from her deck,
Fair, Arm at the wheel shlnea love's beautiful form:
And shall I scorn the barque that last night went to wreck.
By the pilot abandoned to darkneas and storm?
My craft waa no stancher; she, too, had behn lost
Had the wheelman deserted or slept at his post.
I laid down the wealth of my soul at your feet
(Some woman does this for some man every day).
No desperate creature that walks In the straat
Has a wickeder heart than I might have, I say,
Had you wnntonly misused the treasures you won.
As so many men with heart riches have done.
This Are from God's altar, this holy love flame
That burns like sweet Incense forever for you.
Might now be n wild conflagration of shame,
Had you tortured my heart or been base or untrue:
For angels and devils are cast In one mould.
Till love guides them upward or downward, I hold.
1 tell you the women who make fervent wlvea
And sweet tender mothers, had fate been leas fair.
Are the women thnt might have abandoned their lives
To the madness that springs from and ends In despair.
As the fire on the hearth, which sheds brightness around.
Neglected may level the walla to the ground.
The world makes grave error* In Judging these things.
Great good and great evil are born In one breast;
Love horns us .and hoofs us, or gives us Our wings,
And the beat could be worst and the worst could be best
You may thank your own worth for what I grew to be.
For the demon lurked under the angel In me!

St. Petersburg. Sept. 15.
For the flrst week In October Nicho
las II haa convoked the most Important
council that has been held In Russia
since the Winter palace conference of
1881, when, after the assassination of
Alexander II, the eloquence and per
sistency of Constantine Pobledonost-
seff, procurator of the holy synod,
broke down t|ie constitutional plan, and
entailed for the empire twenty-live
years of unrelenting repression.
The esar hns summoned hla relatives
and a few Intimate councillors. M.
Stolypln, the premier, will attend, but
the gathering Is essentially a family
one. There will be half a dozen grand
dukes. Count Ignatleff, 51. Pobledonost-
self and Colonel Putlatln, nominally the
czar's secretary, but In reality a per
sonage of Immense weight In political
crises.
The grand dukes, who for years past
have been Ignored ns advisers of the
crown, will once more be asked to give
their views on three alternative poli
cies—either to concede genuine re
forms; to let things drift until the
convocation of the new douma, or to
return once and for all to the old sys
tem of absolute rule.
Foreigners believe that there Is a
grand ducal party which rules the exar
In the Interests of reaction. Russians
laugh at the Idea, and with Justice.
There Is no concrete grand ducal par
ty. The czar's relatives profess all
shades of political philosophy, and
none: and they dlfTer so flereely on
personal questions that half of them
will hardly speak to the other half.
Orund Duke Vladimir Is not now on
speaking terms with Grand Duke Alex
ander Mlrhatlovltch, and Vladimir’s
brother Alexis hates him even more,

the czar his misdoings as head of the

By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER.
New York. Sept. 27.—Whether the
etock exchange objected to the oppo
sition or the new police Inspector for
the district wanted to know what ho
could do, doea not appear, but the fact
la that the broken can now
devote all their time to the "big game"
without having their attention divert
ed by the rustle of the poker deck, the
click of the rbulette wheel, or the note
of the crap dies.
Police Inspector Formosa and sev
eral members of his staff visited the
organized gambling places and order
ed them to discontinue thslr opera
tions. There was no spectacular dis
play, no theatrical raid, merely a word.
But that sufficed and the proprietors
have shut up shop.
The gambling rooms In question
open to men of wealth, were mostly
pool rooms and faro bnnks. Business
had been done In a quiet manner, but
recently ths cashier of a large financial
Institution was discovered In one of
the places by his employer. As a re
sult of this he Is now looking for a
new Job and the gamblers are In
mourning.
Elliot F. Shepard Is the flrst of the
Vanderbilt cup racers to get Into trou
ble because of hla love.for speeding.
The grandson of W. H. Vanderbilt
was arrested, token before Justice
Wells and lined |10. *
Mr. Shepard's auto ran over and
killed Madeline Marduet, In Stour,
France, In October last. He was fined
2120 and compelled to pay 24,000 as
damages to the girl's father.
Mias . Cordelia Hatch Dearbon
daughter of the late Dr. Dearbon, of
this city, and heiress In her own right
to a fortune of 2100,000, who startled
her social world by eloplnr with ths
family coachman, Harry GUI. only to
find that he was already a benedict,
will again be weddsd, thla time at the
home of her mother In Montclair, N.
J. The bridegroom Is James Holland,
a Boston business man. The elopement
of Miss Dearbon In October, 1901,
which resulted in the marriage being
annulled by Supreme Court Justtcs
Wllmot Salth, last December, was one
of the greatest sensations of the sum
mer social season among the New York
colony In the New Hampshire hills.
Miss Lucy Wormley, of Richmond,
Va., Is to be married to Stewart Lind
say Crawford, of Montreal, on Satur
day at the residence of Judge and 5!rs.
Pryor. This marriage Is of Interna
tional Interest.
Miss Wormley Is a well-known
Southern beauty, of distinguished fam-
"y. She Is the daughter of Mr. and
rs. P. Llghtfnot Wormley. Her an
cestor* have been prominent In stirring
colonial events, and prevloua to that.
In England's history.
Mr. Stewart Lindsay Crawford Is ths
son of Colonel and Mrs. John Craw
ford, of Verden House, Montreal.
Sirs. Lee Arthur has resorted to ths
Injunction to obtain from her husband,
with whom she Is not living, a wedding
gift that he'promised her before sh*
became his wife. The gift was the
royalties on the play "Breaking Into
Society," In which Mr. Arthur waa
playing and drawing 21,000 a week In
royalties. Mrs. Arthur In her complaint
allrges that he haa failed to pay her
the money she should have had and
that he sold the production.
Miss L. DeOroot, of this city, has
set the world of dog fanciers a-talklng
by her purchase of the famous cham
pion bull dog Mahomet at a pries re
ported to be 26,000. This Is the sum
that was paid a few years ago for
Champion Rodneystone by Richard
Crokrr, Jr., which caused a great deal
of comment at that time.
Mahomet arrived In this port two
days ago with Mlnnonetsnks, having
hern purchased on the way over by hi*
present mistress. He Is whit* and
hrlndle and son of Khalifa and Lady
Dorothy, whose sire Is Rodneystone.
Many British experts considered Miss
DeOroot'* purchase the best of his kind
ever bred. He Is a heavyweight and
has won 200 flrst prises, Including a
number of cups for the best dog of any
kind.
The much-married woman has gone
nnd done It again. Mrs. Mary J. Wake-
mnn-Saunders-Powers - Godfrey-Oay-
Idndley-Crowther had made seven
matrimonial ventures when last sh*
was In the public eye, two years ago.
Some of the husbands died; others she
divorced. Now she I* married to the
eighth, and, of course, ths future holds
possibilities. The eighth husband la a
Mr. I.ePage.
Announcement of ths marriage of
Fred Gebhard and Miss Marrle L.
Gamble has been made. The fact that
thoy were married on January 2 and
kept It secret caused general surprise.
Ml** Gamble was a member of the
original Florodora sextet; she also fig
ured in a romance, having eloped with
Horry Wlmsatt, an employee of ths
government printing ofllce at Wash
ington. The marriage was not happy
and she obtained a divorce. Mr. Geb-
hard also was married before. He was
divorced by Louise H. Morris, a beauti
ful young woman of Baltimore, In 1901.
It was the purpose jf Mr. Gebhard
to keep his marriage a aecret for one
yenr, hut the examination of records of
vital statistics, made for entirely an
other purpose, resulted lg the discov
ery of his name among those of secret
benedicts.
In connection with the ceremony an
Interesting story I* told. After the Rev.
