Whatever mhy h&ve been "the Outcome of the re- cent riot In Atlanta In other directions, there can be no aort of doubt that It haa aet the people In and out of Georgia and in and out of the South to thinking as they have never thought before. The Georgian,"add we sdppos* It Is M VltH the Other newspapers, is simply flooded and overwhelmed with communications for which we can never And a place. We have on hand at the moment at which we write enough communications to fill a page of The Georgian for six consecutive weeks to come. Every cltlien and every resident of the South, male and female. Is thinking and reasoning upon the South's great problem In their own earnest way. Every newspaper in the smaller towns and villages, as In the greater cities, Is thundering away Ita reflections and Its conclusions upon the vital theme. The great tnagizlnes and periodicals, the quarterlies and review*, the thinkers, the publicists and the preacher* by the thousands, are all offering the products of their millions of brains to the elucidation and solution of this great problem ot the.race* of tho South. There ought to be, and we would that there might be, the medium of giving full expression to this million- tongued consideration of the most vital problem of the times. So far as we have been able we have gathered, In the order In which they came, the views of thoughtful and earnest people ot both sexes and have presented them to our reader*.. Those whose communications must fall of Jiubllcatlon In the wake of multitudes of others, which have the precedence of them, have yet left their voices, In speech and conversation, to discuss the theme, and we regard It as vital and wholesome to a degree, that so many people In so many ways should be conse crating their brains, their Ingenuity and their patriotism to earnest thought and In free discussion upon this groat problem which must some day come to the decls ton of their earnest ballots at the polls. The agitation at least Is wholesome.. The Interest ot the people is universal, slid In the Interchange of Ideas, the clash ot convictions and the conflict of opinions, we are likely not only In the minds of the few but In the Intelligent comprehension of the many, to attain a clear er understanding of the general subject and a larger basil ot Information upon which we shall reach In couraa of tlm* the wise and beat conclusion of our duty to our selves, to our children and to our future tn the dis position of this great question here. It Is distinctly true that the tone ot comment Is changing In the more thoughtful and leading newspapers. The flret wave, of bitterness and of resentment, started among fanatics by sectional bigots, U dying away In the calm light of reason and men and women everywhere throughout the country are learning to put themselves In their brothers' places and to auswer their own questions In a wiser way. The education, of the Incident has been liberal among the masses of the people, and we are In a better position now than we have ever been before to be sound and wise men, to tell the truth, and to build the opinions upon which we are to hang our civilization of the future. Tha whole rampant partisan and vindictive news papers of sectionalism which have brought down from father to son the narrow and sectional feelings of the war Mid of abolition times, have vented their little spleen and gone down to silence. Hut the majority of the great papers of todsy bullded and edited by men who have come up tn the new era In which we live with broader minds and clearer vtiions anil the larger sympa thies of the great age of fraternity and of transporta tlon, are looking at these questions broadly and are ripe and ready for a solution which will astonish the ancient* mossbacks of the republic. Two or three things are notable to one around whom baa revolved in part the (torm of dlscussiou and contri button tn this matter. One of these rests In the fact that two-thirds If not three-fourths of the communications which come from Northern Individuals of private and of public station auggeetlng remedies for the subject of this discussion, are united In urging castration and branding as the remedy for the great evil around which our Southern problem so largely revolves. Out of some, 200 communications from Northern and Western men, scientists, thinkers, preachers, physicians and of fice holders, 175 urge thiB remedy as the solvent of the rape question. Another development even more significant is the tact that thoughtful men, writing as private citizens, and great newapaperi seriously and earnestly discussing this problem, are giving more and more of consideration and of apparent concurrence to the great doctrine of the separation of the races. From negroes In the wlregrass regions of Georgia, and from doctors of divinity in the states of Massachusetts and of Minnesota, we have earnest letters Indorsing this theory and giving addi tional arguments for Us prosecution. Men who have laughed to scorn the Idea as Impracticable for a quar ter of a century are coming now tn earnest reflection to ■ay that It Is not Impossible, and to consider ways and means to bring the movement Into execution. We have exhausted the wailings ot apology upon this incident of the 22d of September. For the rdt of time let ua notice and utilize the liberal education which It has brought to thousands of our fellow citizens In all sections upon a question which is already great and The Famous Evangelist. It Is difficult to think of Sam Jones—Dead. That vital personality, those straight looking and splendid eyes, that engaging humor and that compelling personality we. c the very pulse and glow, ot richest, full est life. And yet In a moment. In the twinkling of an eye It la all changed and the cold clay remains with the spirit gone out of it forever. It Is perhaps too early yet to measure and estimate tne merits : nd the services of Sam Jones. There were two dominant and ever-present qualities In his equipment which with one other quality will easily explain h(s power. Courage and nature were the attri butes that caught and held his little world of action. He had them both. He said whatever he* wanted to say anywhere, at any time, under any circumstances, with a severe and dauntless courage that never hesitated and never trembled In expression or In apprehension. And he said this In a way so natural, so free, so unstrained by effort, or pretense, so unchecked by embarrassment, so unhampered by passion, and so touched with un spoiled and unemblttered -human nature that the cour age in him that startled was followed by the hunfanlty of humor In him that disarmed and won the feelings as well of strong men as of brilliant women. Of course If to these qualities Sam Jones' Architect and Maker had not added a clear head, a quick brain, a bubbling ton, a genial smile, then the creature would not have been the winner that he was. Bjjt other men have bad humor and vision who did not win, and we know that courage and nature were the crowning gifts that won In him and will always win. * -And he- was a success by every measurement which marks the outlines of that wonderful word. Measured by fame, measured by usefulness, measured by money and measured by popularity, he will be counted among the distinct snd sustained successes of his day and gen eration. He was the best known evangelist of his country and ranked with- the two or three best known evange lists ot the world. He has perhaps awakened to se rious thought, and turned from serious ‘‘meanness’’ more men than any other man who has preached to men In these two decades. Some of. these may have gone back to apathy, as hare the converts of many another preacher; but it Is safe to say that If all the quickened spirits of the hosts who have been touched and quick ened In his thousand meetings should follow his casket to the grave, the procession would outrank the funeral cortege' of any preacher of his age or time. He reached men and moved classes that have sat like stones under the appeals of the world's great gospel messengers, and the measurement of his usefulness can only be taken In the estimate of the value of the bouIs of men. The element of money should not properly be Meted tn the assests of an evangelist, but It Is to be said to his credit that his lectures, his books, his voluntary fees, brought large profits to Sam Jones through many years, and that ho used his handsome income to provide for his numerous family and to help the thousand charities that he carried near his beart. No man who reads or hears will question the phenom enal popularity which Sam Jones maintained from his earliest evangql In North Georgia to the last crusade waged In Oklahoma. The common people' heard him gladly and the great and prosperous were alike Ills friends, lie never spoke to less than crowded halls and applauding audiences. He was the greatest drawing card of chnulauquas and lyceums, as ho was the magnet of every gospel meeting and of every platform conference of his time. Everywhere the multitudes flocked to hear him and lingered to applaud him. It was the crowning evidence of his popularity and power that In his own home town, and In hi* own capital city, after a hundred speeches, he could still pack tabernacles or opera houses above every other orntpr of his generation. Here, then, upon the measurements of usefulness, ot fame, of prosperity and of popularity, we write down tho man who on yesterday was Sam Jones as filling the stand ards or n man successful and potential beyond the ordi nary limits of successful men. There are other lines upon which at other times wo may study and discuss his life. t The danger which goes with the sorrow ot Ms death Is that other and weaker men, taking courage In his absence, may try to Imitate the methods and the man ners which were made for him alone. OUR PLATFORM-—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning its own gas and elec tric light plants, as it now owns its Water morks. Other cities do this and get gas as low as 60 cents, with a profit to the city. This should he 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 ih face in that direction NOW ! GOSSIP Nooks and Corners of American History By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. AN AMERICAN COUNT. A Chance For a Young Man. The developments of Southern agrlculturo have clear- ly demonstrated one hopeful and Inspiring fact. No man with Intelligence and experience has within recent year* given to a Southern farm diligent and per sonal attention that he did not reap from It an almost Immediate competence and In tho end abundant pros perity. Now It Is true that lnexperelnced planters, Indiffer ent attention, 11 half-hearted prosecution and a relega tion of authority to other hands, has frequently left Southern farms In an unprosperous condition. But you cannot find in Georgia a farm large or small run by an industrious and Intelligent man upon sound methods that bas not paid him back tn happiness and In money. From the record of Dave 8helton, and McCormick, and Jim Smith, and Pope Brown, all through the line this fact Is established and Inspiring. Opportunities are abundant In fbe South. We have In many places. In Georgia large farms and stately acres bought by men as Investments whose larger inter ests do not leave them time tor personal attention to their farms. Theso conditions afford superb opimrtunl- ties to skillful and Industrious young men of the South and of the North who have determined wisely to mako agriculture their profession. Here, for instance, the editor ot The Georgian has a friend who is the owner of a large and notable plantation In one of the best quarters of the state. He himself has prospered In this world's goods and his farm la ample, well located nod capable of superb development. The editor of The Georgian will engage to Interest any young man of brains and energy who has given his time and tnlenta to the study of agriculture, both practically and theoretically, In this property nnd to furnish him with an engagement that will be more profitable than a bank clerkship, more prolific of happiness than a railroad agency nnd more promising of advancement than any place behind the counter 111 the capital city of Georgia. We are confident that there are other men who know of just such positions waiting In the South for the ap plication ot capable nnd accomplished agriculturists to take hold of them. Wo suggest to these men that they make known by correspondence and by advertising Just what Georgia and the South has to offer to young, en ergetic, and progressive men who are willing to turn their backs on the luxuries and temptations of the city and to build solid and substantial futures upon the farms of Georgia, which they can help to turn Into places of beauty and of comfort that will redeem the Isolation of the rural regions, and will adorn and glorify the state: There Is a movement on the part of rich men nnd of prosperous men all over the country to Invest their sur plus funds In agricultural lands. And It Is a wise and tor seeing movement. But one drift develops another. And If the drift of moneyed men and of capitalists Is toward the farms, that should make a drift of energetic, vigorous, and progressive young men toward the conduct of these farms. One of the distinctly hopeful things of the fu ture Is cultivation of agriculture as a practical sci ence. In the course ot time It will be as honorable to a young business man lo control and direct a prosperous torm of many ncres as it Is now re be the superintend ent of a factory, the managing editor of a newspaper, the superintendent of a railroad, the president of a college, or the cashier of a bank. Back to the farms! Is the hopeful cry of the fu ture. The Georgian has It In its power to start one In telligent, earnest and progressive young man on the high way to prosperity. We commend the consideration of these opportuul- , . „ ties to the men In Georgia who own farms that thev growing greaten and will be greater for the next j cannot run, anil to men In and out of Georgia who are quarter of a century. (capable of running farms that they do not own. The romance of life comes very near reaching Its high-water mark in the story of the poor little New England boy who grew up to be the peer of Eu ropean scientists, diplomats and states men, and who. upon the high stage of the Old World competition, wrought out for himself a name that Is to last while humanity endurei upon this planet. Benjamin Thompson was born In Woburn, Mass., on the 26th day of March. 1753. While Thompson was very young he lost his father, and at the age of 14 was apprenticed by his mother to a storekeeper In Salem. The youngster did not stay long In the Witch City, being transferred, at his own request, to a store In Boston. If he had to sell calico and groceries, he preferred to do so In a place where, when not behind the counter, he could see something of the great world in which he was later on to play so con spicuous n part. But young Thompson had brain and ambition, and no mere business estab lishment .was big enough to hold him very long, and we next hear of him (at the age of IS) as a school teacher In Rumford (now Concord), N, H. While teaching the “young Ideas" of Concord “bow to shoot.” Thompson was smitten by a shaft from Cupid's bow. At the age of 19 the school teach er married the rich young widow of Colonel Rolfe, and from that day the ■tars began to shine upon him with a fairer radiance. His marriage gave him social posi tion, and that helped him to get the ap pointment of major of militia. (But there was Jealousy In those days, aa there Is In these, and Thompson's ap pointment made for him a host of en emies. The young major was a patriot, lov ing his country with a whole heart, but the fellows who wanted thfe place that Thompson had been lifted to, and who never forgave him for outstripping them In the race, would not allow him to serve bis country. He tried hard to get a commission In the Continental army, but his enemies ever stood In the way of hla purpose, and finally Thompson was forced, ac tually driven, to take aides with the Crown. Banished from Ills country, he went tn England, where tils rare genlua was at once appreciated, and at the early age 27 lie was given ' the Important place of under secretary In the office of Lord George Germaine. At the close of the war of the Revo lution Thompson was knighted, and In 1784 entered the service of the elector of Bavaria, whose rabble of an army he reorganized, whose parks he trans formed from waste places Into pictures of paradise, and whose foreign rela tions he placed, as If by magic, upon a most honorable footing. When Thompson took hold of Ba varian affairs the country was literally overrun with tramps nnd beggars. The authorities could do nothing with them and the people were In despair. But the Yankee was quite equal to the emergency. With haste he caused to be erected a great workhouse. Into which In n single day he "hustled" every beggar In the city of Munich, making them take care of themselves, and. In addition, help augment the rev enue of the state. In 1796 when Bavaria was in the way of being drawn Into a war between France and Germany, Thompson, with consummate diplomacy, negotiated the neutrality which prevented the threat ened destruction. For tills magnificent piece of work he was created a count of the Holy Ro man Empire. And then the man's patriotism flamed up In a most unexpected way! He would be "fount Rumford," after the little New England village where his eyes first saw the light. The Jealousv of those who envied him the first honor that ever came to him—that of the appointment of major uf militia.—would not allow him to fight for his country, but now that lie ivus great and famous and about to be highly honored by a foreign people, lie would crown that honor by' a "till high er one, that of being count of his native town, the obscure little hamlet In the Ynnkeelaml he loved more than all tho world besides! I,aler, Thompson was accredited ns Bavarian ambassador to the court of St. James, hut the fact of his being a British subject prevented the realiza tion of this exalted honor. As a private citizen In England, how ever, Thompson passed several years In scientific pursuits, proving himself to he one of the most original experi mentalists and discoverers of Ills day. It was Thompson who In 1799 found ed the now celebrated Royal'Institu tion. All the world has heard of Sir Humphry Davy, the first lecturer In that famous Institution. It was Thomp son who found Davy and set him to work. Educator, soldier, scientist, diplomat, statesman, deep thinker and man of the world, r prince of Idealists, and at the same time one of the most hard-headed and practical of men, Benjamin Thompson, when. In 18H, he breathed his last at Auteull, France, closed a life-story such as it la but seldom our privilege to read. DINKELSPIEL ON ACQUIRING WEALTH By GEO. V. HOBART.

UNCLE JOE TURNS APPLAUSE A GAINSTBR YAN ADMIRERS Bristol, Va., Oct. 16.—Speaker Can non spoke last night In the opera house to an audience larger than ever before crowded Into the building. There were Democrats In the audi ence and the mention of Bryan’s name caused considerable applause, but Mr. Cannon, taking advantage of the Im promptu aituatlon, turned the applause against the admirers pf Bryan. After explaining Bryan’s attitude of the question of government ownership of railroads, the speaker asked if there were any friends of Bryan In Bristol who would follow him on that proposi tion, and where there had been In discriminate cheera came discreet si lence. While Cannon was explaining the tariff and comparing conditions under Mr. Cleveland and Mr. McKinley and Mr. Roosevelt, some one uttered a groan as Cleveland's name was men tioned. "That's a good groan, my friend." re. piled the speaker, after the laughter had subsided. "But you will have to make It three million times stronger before It equals the groans caused by the Cleveland administration." BY CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER, New York. Oct. 16.—The opera war which Is said to be on In deadly earnest with two opera palaces»and two fight- Ing social factions, one behind each lm- pressarlo. Is In the skirmish stage to- day with the labor battalions laying siege to Herr Conreld. * Determined to fight to the bitter end the action of Conreld In engaging a new chorus for the Metropolitan, so members of the old chorus, many of whom have appeared In this country for twenty consecutive years, arrived In New York oil the steamship Moltke. Another object of their return Is to get their ahare of the 311,000 benefit given by Mint. Sembrlch In the aid of the musicians who suffered In the recent earthquake. There are 34 men and 16 women In the party. Jlra. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, accom panied by her mother, Mrs. Francis o, French. Is entertaining a house party at the Vanderbilt camp, "Raquette," In the Adirondack*. I am reminded of one of the cele brated duels of the country by a bit of club gossip from Newport. The flags on the two fashionable clubs there are at half mast for the late ‘Winnie” Gray, who fought a duel on the Canadian border with John o Heckscher, who later married his wife’ daughter of the late William R. Tra vers. and whose remains were Interred at Newport. It was the talk of the country for weeki. Mrs. Burke-Roche-Batonyl Is living quietly at her redwood torm, Ports- mouth, near Newport, and she Is the recipient of many local attentions when she drives to Newport. Mr. Batumi has not been seen In Newport yet. Her twin sons at Harvard often visit her. Over at Playfield, N. J., Mme Mod- Jeska has begun her farewell tour. I learn (hat she was most cordially re ceived. At her first appearance and at the close of each act, she was greeted with a demonstration that exhibited plainly the affection nnd esteem in which she Is held. Mmo. Modjeska seemed In the full of artistic powers, and her delightful art was In evidence, as always In the past. Her Lady Macbeth was the same In power, strength and characterization that It was In former days. The question Is whether Willie Dougherty, aged 9 months, of Newark, did or did not swallow a silver watch fob. a souvenir of the St. Louis expo sition which his mother gave him to play with. If he did not swallow It. then come one may have found It. It he did swallow It, then ft must bo somewhere in his Interior. In an ef fort to solve the mystery and relieve her anxiety, Mrs. Dougherty has an advertisement for the fob In the "list column” In one of the papers. She was careful to state that she did not want It bacl:. but just to know that It Is outside of Willie. negroes are happy and prosperous, and but a few of the very Intelligent ones ever go to the polls. They are Into cotton and corn, and out of politics to their own good and profit. Atlanta should begin today nnd take a poll of every man, white and black, In the city and of their location and occupa tion. Only In this way can we arrive at the vagrant and unemployed ele ment, and It Is from such os these (as a rule) that mobs and disorders arise. We need now cool-headed vigilance: the negro and the whit* men must feel the majesty of the law and how In obedience to Its mandates. The men who must, and will, rule Atlanta are aroused, but they must keep cool. WILLIAM LAMRIC HILL. 106 Rawson Street. JEW AND GENTILE. LEVEL HEADS NEEDED. To the Editor of The Georgian: Atlanta Is passing through a crucial teat of manhood and good citizenship, and now Is the time for the cool-headed Georgians to come to the front. Much of the trouble of the last few days haa been caused by the Impulsive acts of young nnd almost Irresponsible men of both races, and (as Is always the case) the Innocent are the greater sufferers. That the lawless element nmong the negroes has. of late, committed many lawless and reprehensible acts, no one will deny. These deserve, and will get, their punishment, but the saying that "only a dead negro Is a good negro" Is un true, and the tool-head Georgian real izes that there are many good negroes in Atlanta that now need and must have protection. leaving out of the question the fran chise (which the negro never should have had), the writer believes that there is such n thing as the white men and negroes of Georgia, living In peace and harmony. And It can only be by the supremacy In iiolitlcs Of the white man. The writer comes from the largest county In North Carolina, where the A FOND REGRET.

"Can you give me an Idea?” "Oh. yes." said Toole, "here's one. It's direct and leaves much to the Imagination.
