It In with the gratification of tho vindicated that The Georgian notea the admirable method which our slater state of South Carolina Is employing In Inducing immigra tion of the right kind to come to the help of that splendid and progressive commonwealth. To read Its efforts and methods In this direction Is to point the way of wisdom to our Georgia agencies work ing toward the same end. Commissioner E. J. Watson, head of the department of agriculture, commerce and immigration of South Caro lina, now In Europe working to turn the tide of Immigra Uon In the United States southward, is in Berlin after visiting various parts of Germany, France, Belgium and Holland. In an official outline of his work given to the Ameri can consul at Ghent Mr Watson says: "I have long believed that the only practical solution of what is now rapidly becoming the great immigration problem of tho United States rests In the work of selec tion and direction of Immigrants, as far as possible, at their own homes before they are booked and started to America. I have therefore undertaken to put our work In Europe u|>on such a basis that wo can send Into the South, where thousands can be, readily absorbed, care fully selected persons particularly fitted for the work that will be required of them. "One of the greatest difficulties has been In the fact that there tins been no trans-atlantlc steamship line en tering a South Atlantic |iort carrying third class passen gers. I have succeeded in having this defect cured by Inducing the North German Lloyd to make the experi ment looking to the establishment of a permanent line between Bremen and the port of Charleston, and the first ship, the Wltteklnd, Is to sail on October IS. This puts within our grasp, If the Southern people accept the chance offered, the moans of carrying the agricultural and laboring emigrant direct to a section In which re munerative work and a good home await hint, and where he will be directed by officials Instead of labor agencies, and 'have the fostering cure of the state Itself thrown around him. “The attempt to open this new trans-atlantlc line to the South Atlantic coast of tho United States may be attributed almost solely to the efforts of Director von Pills, of the North Germrn,Lloyd, who visited these states •bout eighteen months ago studying business and eco nomic conditions, and who returned to Gormany con vinced of the splendid opportunity tor the development of commerce and Immigration In that part of the world. He haa been lnatrumental In organising the American Colonisation Company, the purposo of which Is to take desirable settlers where they can find good homes and opportunities for success. He has also looked to the value of the commerce of the South Atlantic States and to him Is due the credit of the announcement of freight rates to Charleston Identical with thoso of New York. He has manifested hls confidence In the South, and It only re mains for the Southom people to do their part. It would be difficult to estimate the value of whnt Director von ,Ptlia hat undertaken to do to the future of the South. I have been merely lending the helping hand. Our tmml- K itlon operations are to bo confined entirely to Northern rope.” Now this is the way. When we can select our own Immigrants the problem of Immigration and the problem of labor will both be solved. v It must come to this at last. Indiscriminate Immi gration gathered from Southern Europe and from any class that will come Is worse than the negro problem, and complicates our national problem. But wisely se lected Immigrants Induced by honest reasons and fair statements to come to us from stalwart races and stable sections, are the hope of our Industry and the safety of our race. those organisations, could be disposed to deny to the great mass of laboring men the same right to stand together as a united rank for the benefit of jtbeir trades and for the welfare of themselvea and their families. President Hugo ttrgently Impresses upon the bottlers’ association the necessity for active and vigorous union, and yet hls attack is notably vigorous and severe- upon the cooperative organizations of the employees who do the work for this great Industry. The Georgian does not desire to go extensively Into by the employer and the employee. The same motives which Inspire the employers to Join themselves In Intelll gent co-operation with other employers, are the motives, however differently expressed, which more the employees to join themselves to other employees to ask for reason able concessions and to protest against apparently unjust demands. We trust that the bottlers will have a pleasant and profitable session In Atlanta. We trust that their emi nent president and officers will come In touch with our own labor unions In Atlanta and realize how happily and wholesomely labor and capital have always, kept the peace In this metropolis of Georgia. For here, If anywhere, we have the conservatism and the qondltlonB which reconcile these apparently con flicting classes of our citizenship, and we have no records of war or bitterness between them. OUR PLATFORM-—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning its own gas and elec tric light plants, as it now owns its water works. Other cities do this and gel 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 President Hugo’s Speech Extreme. Without abating In the least degree tho warmth of our welcome to the Bottlers’ Association now assembled In Atlanta, and without questioning In any way the right of Its distinguished president t6 express hls views upon any question which concerns the association, Tho Geor gian desires after Its own conservative fashion, to take Issue with President Hugo In hls view upon labor unions. His speech of Tuesday appears to us to bo both Il logical snd extreme. It Is too late In this advanced age of fraternity and equality for any men of any calling dis tinctly. coherently organised for mutual Interests and mu tual protection, to deny to other men the same right which they themselves enjoy of banding themselves to gether to protect rights and privileges Just as valuable snd just as dear to one class as to the other. It Is not Impossible, nor yet Improbable, that labor anions may In the past have been extreme and perhaps exacting In their demands upon the employers. But on the other hand, no man can deny that employers In time past. If not In time present, hare been equally extreme and exacting In their radical demands upon the represen tatives of labor. One of the distinct advancements of this age has been In the more moderate but equally effective methods of or ganized labor a* It presents Its demandB upon orgnnlzed capital. Scenes of violence are exceedingly rare. Radical action seems ever upon the decrease. And we have no doubt that tbe organizations of labor will be constantly developing wiser and more reasonble. and for that rea son more effective weapons of defense than they have ever used before. It Is doubtless entirely true that the bottlers and all other kindred industries find It essential that they should have some definite understanding and some established policy by which, working In harmony, they may effect the best Interests for themselves. Co-operation and • organization are the distinct watchwords of the age In which we live. And it seems difficult to Imagine how In this broad and enlightened era any strong and clear headed man, hints- If rejoicing In the effects of union and Handicaps to Our Wisdom. One of the difficulties which has always hampered the wise and definite solution of Southern problems has been a too lively and timorous concern over the opinions of people beyond our borders. A just and due regard for public opinion la a mark not only of wisdom but of civilization. It Is easily possi ble, however, to carry this respect too far, and we of the South when we have been forced by radical emergencies Into radical action, have been all too much given to the habit of rushing to the front gate with our ears to the ground In an anxious listening for the comments and crit icism of our fellow citizens beyond the Potomac and Ohio. There Is neither wisdom nor manliness In this attitude. We are as great a people In our history and In our qualities’as any who Inhabit this continent, and we are sufficient unto ourselves to decide what Is Just and right, If we will only be true to ourselves, and follow our convictions along honest lines to their legitimate lines of action. We_have done too much of pandering In the past to the opinions of the Northern and Eastern people who are no wiser and no better, but only a trifle richer than we are. The fact Is that It Is exceedingly difficult to measure or estimate the real public opinion of the Northern peo ple. It Is "utterly Impossible to do this from a reading of the best known Northern newspapers. We state a fact here which like many of our other statements may be primarily disputed but will Inevitably be vindicated. We say without hesitation that the lead ing Northern newspapers do not fairly or accurately rep resent the average public opinion of the Northern people upon the problems of the South. Wo are willing to truet the future for the vindication of this proposition. The editors of the Northern dallies are mostly men of inherited and educated prejudices. They are doc trinaires of a school of politics which was born in the ab olition period and has survived the war. Their views of the Southern problems are based upon an abstract hu manity called sometimes philanthropy, Inculcated by Wendell Phillips and Charles Sumner and Henry Ward Beecher, and preserved In the habit of considering South ern questions theoretically at the distance of a thou sand miles. Few of the Northern editors know anything practically about the negro or the negro question. Few of them ever employ negro servants In their homes. When friction of the races Is reported from the South, these fellows hark back to their tones of abolition and rake up the stock expletives of condemnation and vitu peration which have done duty through so many years, and fire away without any consideration whatever for the changed conditions or for the awful provocations which stir the South beyond reason and beyond law. To these fiery and unthinking commentators who mould the apparent public opinion of the North, we pre sent one unanswerable proposition: Find us In all your ranks, whether of abolition stoofc of New England, or of the newer blood of today, one sin gle Northern man who has ever pulled up hit Northern stakes and settled himself permanently for residence In the South, who did not within twalva months, and with hla whole heart, absorb and adopt Into life and action the cretda and cuatoma of the 8outh upon thla problem, and wa will eonftaa In humility that you art all right and wo art all wrong. If you do not find this man among our great army of Northern cltlzenq, you ought In almplo honesty to shut up your factories of denunciation, or put up a nobler line of comment upon tho probloma which you brethren have helped to make. * So much for the editors. They do not represent the mass. The mass of the Northern people are In sympa thy wit hthe South upon the negro question. Of this much we are absolutely sure. The Northern mass knows the negro. In every town and hamlet he Is a citizen. The mass comes In contact with him. In business, In politics, In amusement and In religion. They know him. They have no delusions about him. And these are the people who dislike and protest the negro as the South never has and never will dislike him. These are the people who mob him In New York and Chicago. These are the people who burn him in Wilmington and Topeka and Leavenworth. These are tho people who hang him In Evansville and Danville and Lawrence. These are the people who shoot him to death in the labor unions of Pane and Cartersvllle. These are the people who would outvote any extremist In the South today In any radical legislation designed to control and refashion the negro. And so, our countrymen, when we put our dir to the ground in anxiety to hear the public sentiment thundered across the line, don't let us be Ignorant enough or, weak enough to Imagine that these spiteful and pharasafe dia tribes of Northern newspapers represent the great body of nur northern friends, but let us consider the people who look at these things In their own way and from their own kindred standpoint. And let us be sure that if we Aer go to these people with honest lips to tell {he true story of our surpassing Nooks and Corners of American History By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. Y THE MAN WHO KILLED ALEXANDER HAMILTON OKE-FELLOW with Benedict Arnold under the henvlcat lapd of iufamy that any brace of Americana ever had to carry. Aaron Rurr’a name has for more than a century nlinoat blistered the Up* that have tried to pronounce It. Benedict Arnold nnd Aaron Burr! The traitor and the conspirator, the one at tempting to deliver over West Point to the enemy, the other plotting to disrupt hls country nnd to aet himself up aa king or emperor upon the dismembered portion of Its domain. Is this Judgment of Burr Juat? Wn» Anrou Burr aa black ns he was painted by •ome of bis contemporaries? lias history told the truth nbour him; or has the man been moat egreglously lied about? If Burr had not killed Hamilton there would have been no cloud In hla sky; no blot upon hla fair name. and. Instead of the odium that now attaches to ills name, that name would now be shining lu the firmament of our national history like a ‘tor of the first magnitude. lu the days of Iiurr and Hamilton, the duel was, among gentlemeu, the one recog nised menus of settling all questions of honor. Hamilton himself had acted as sec ond In a duel, thus showing to the world that he was uot opposed to such methods of settling certain grievances. When Burr challenged Hamilton, he was only doing what other geutlemen of hls time did whenever the occasion called for *t. That Burr hod an occasion for the Iiallenge no one can deny. The world has never seen such foul politics as existed In New York during the first, decade or so of the nation's existence, and of flint political foulness Alexander Hamilton wus the In spiring genius. Hnmlltoifs treatment of Burr was in famous. aud If ever a man was Justified In challenging another to fight him that an was Aaron Burr. Hamilton had simply put him in the position where he was obliged to challenge or become the object of universal tempt. The duel enme off and Hamilton was kill ed—and Burr at once became the target of such slander nnd vituperation at history but seldom witnesses. After that duel, lie was a demon, a fiend, fit for nothing but to l»e scorned nnd hated of all men. i got Into circulation about „ of these lies got Into his tory, to frhnne. In tbe minds of coming generations, the distorted monster kuown as Asrou Burr. : In reality. Burr was anything but a monster. The kindest of husbnuds and fathers, he was the truest oNfrlends, gen erous to a fault, brave as a Hon. and In patriotism second to no man In the Revo lutionary struggle. . He did uot try to injure the good name and usefulness of Washington. He did not try to dismember hls country. He did uot deceive and ruin Blenner- hassett or blast hls home. Blennerhnssett. according to hls own written admission, wus paid back every dollar that he lost in the famous expedi tion with Burr, and there Is not n scintilla of proof that Burr violated any of the sanctities of Uleunerhnssett's home. As to Burr’s “treason” against hls coun try, was he not triumphantly cleared of the charge when brought to trial in the court that was presided over by »»*«■■ great John Marshall/ d Is the charge that tied Jefferson In the presidential election. Burr Intrigued to de feat hls only competitor by fraud and vault luto the presidency. . As all the world knows, the tie In the electoral college sent the contest to the house of representatives, and a letter by Judge Cooper (father of J. Venltnore Coop er), written on the first day of the bal loting In the house, tells us that had Burr done auythlng for himself he would have l>cen president.” . James A.

The fact that on several occasions officers have not been able to get Into n*gro club rooms during rows, and that locked doors have balked raids on disorderly places. Is the reason for the introduction of the measure. The ordinance Introduced by Coun cilman Chosewood making the park board to consist of one member from each ward to be appointed by the may or and the mayor himself and the chairman of the council committee on parks, was passed without any recom mendation on account of the absence of Mr. Chosewood.

To the Editor of The Georgian: By all means let us have an audi torium and armory. While planning for the good of Atlanta, let us at' the same time plan for a public comfort building and a central breathing space or park. They can all be combined and all are essential to the best Inter ests of Atlanta. Among our tall buildings there should be an open space for the health, comfort and happiness of our people and visitors to the city. Such n place, properly planned and properly equipped, would be of more material benefit to the city than anything else that can be done at this time. It would add to the financial and material development of Atlanta. It would Improve the morals and health of the city, and properly arranged, less en drinking, vice and crime. In a central place, arranged for public com fort, It would be a great advertisement for the city, a comfort to visitors, a great convenience to working girls and boys of the city. Let us have not only on auditorium and armory, but a public comfort build ing. with baths, lunches, reading room, and a small central park—public stand for music, etc. * By combining, all these enterprises can be secured, and with less expense now than at any future time.

ENTIRE COUNTY TICKET 8peclnl to The Georgian Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 10—The en tire Democratic ticket was elected In the city election here yesterday. City Judge Will Cummings was opposed by Esquire Wayne Headrick and Jack O’Donahue, city auditor and candidate for reelectton, was opposed by Charles O. Beaver. George W. Chamblee was elected without opposition as was T. J. Gillespie for city treasurer. WANT EARLY COMPLETION OF UNION STATION. Special to The Georgian. Jackson, Ga., Oct. 10.—p. N. Car michael, a prominent citizen of this county, la unable to Identify the corpse shipped here from Stockton, Cal., as the remains of hls son, Obe S. Car michael. Other members of the fam ily and friends also are unablrf to identify the corpse. The remains will be held here for identification for five or six days, and if no one identifies him he will be bur led here In the potter’s field. He is a man with light sandy hair, 5 feet high and a blond with a heavy red mustache. Obe Carmichael was only 23 years of age, while this man looks to be about 40, and is so stated In the death cer tificate. Obe Carmichael had a scar on hls back from a knife wound, and on examination no scar Is found on this body. Carmichael’s hair was very red, while this man's hair Is only sandy. It is learned, from a letter written by the undertaker, thae the dead man was going by the name of McCormick, while Obe Carmichael was receiving letters from hls people here addressed to Obe S. Carmichael. Hls father received a letter from him about September 1, and he was living at Mill Valley, Cal., about 30 miles from Stockton, and working at a livery stable. On October 1 D. N. Carmichael re ceived a telegram from Stockton, Cal., that a man, supposed to be the body of O. S. Carmichael, was then at the undertaker’s place of business, lie hav ing committed suicide by shooting him self. The dead man was identified In Cal ifornia by a former citizen of this county, who now lives In Stockton, and the description wired here suited to that of O. S. Carmichael. D. N. Carmichael placed with the telegraph company here money enough to pay for the preparation of the body for burial nnd casket and railroad transportation, but on the arrival of the remains they are not Identified as those of Obe S. Carmichael. I GOSSIP AT THE THEATERS Special to The Georgian. Newberry, 8.

Mayor Brown has stated that he Is determined that this work shall not drag, as It has done for the past six months or more. GOVERNMENT TAKE8 CARE OF NAVY YARD 8UFFERER8. To the Editor of The Georgian: A 10-year-old boy ought to see the fallacy of the argument that the sa loons pay large sums Into the city treasury. Where do the saloon men got their money? From the men who drink. I challenge the record that in nine cases out of ten where men are constant drinkers that their wives and children lack for the necessary com forts of life. Who pays the tax? The drunkards' wives and children. This Is class tnxatlnn nml tyranny greater than that of any king., It costs something to maintain the enterprises of a city, and the only way to legitimately raise the money is by Washington, Oct. 10.—Red Cross headquarters received a dispatch yes terday from Captain G.
