' The Incident as an Educator.
I Whatever mky have-been The'outcome of the re
cent riot in Atlanta in other directions, there can bp no
sort of doubt that It has aet tho people in and out of
Georgia and in and out of the South to thinking aa they
have never thought before.
The Georgian,'and we suppose it Is bo with the other
newspspers, 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 All a page of The Georgian for six
consecutive weeks to come. Every cltlxen and every
resident of the South, male and female, le thinking and
reaaonlng upon the South’s great problem In their own
earnest wiy. Every newspaper In the smaller towns
and villages, as In the greater cities. Is thundering away
its reflections and Ita conclusions upon the vital theme.
The great magazines and periodicals, the quarterlies and
reviews, the thinkers, the publicists and the preachers
by the thousand*,-are all offering’the products of their
millions of brains to the elucidation and solution of this
great problem of. the races of the 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
time*. So fur aa we have been able we have gathered,
In the order In which they came, the views of thoughtful
and earneat people of both sexes and have presented
them to our readers. Those whose communications must
fall of publication 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 aa vital nnd wholesome to a degree,
that ao many people In so muny ways should he conse
crating their brains, their ingenuity and their patriotism
to earnest thought and In free discussion upon this
great problem which must some day-come to the decis
ion of their earneat ballots at the polls.
The agitation at least Is wholesome. The Interest
of the people is universal, and in the'interchauge of ideas,
the clash of 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
baile of Information upon which we shall reach In course
of time the wise and best conclusion of our duty to our
selves, to our children ami to otir future In the dis
position‘of. this great question here.
It Is distinctly true that the tone of comment la
changing in the more thoughtful nnd leading newspapers.
The first wave, of blttprness and of .resentment, started
among fanatics by sectional bigots. Is dying away In the
calm light of reason and men and women everywhere
throughout the country arc learning to put themselves‘In
their brothers' places attd to answer their own questions
in a wiaer way. Tho education of the Incident has been
liberal among the meases of the people, nnd we are iu
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 civilisation
of the future.
The 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 and of abolition times, have vented their little
spleen and gone down to silence. But the majority
of the great papers of today bullded and edited by men
who have come up In the new era In which we live with
broader minds and clearer vlelona and the larger sympa
thies of the great age of fraternity and of transporta
tion. are looking at those questions broadly and are
rip* and ready for a solution which will astonish the
ancient mossbacka of the republic.
Two or three things are notable to one around whom
has revolved in part the storm of discussion nnd contri
bution in this matter. One of these rests in the fact that
two-thirds it not three-fourths of the communications
which come from Northern individuals of private and of
public station suggesting remedies for the subject of
this discussion, are united In urging castration and
branding aa the remedy for the great evil around
which our Southern problem ao largely revolves. Out of
some 200 communications from Northern nud Western
men. scientists, thinkers, preachers, physicians and of
fice holders, ITS urge this remedy as the solvent of the
rape question.
Another development even more slgulflcant is the
fact that thoughtful men. writing as private citizens, and
great newspapers 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 racet. From negroes in the wlregrass
regions of Georgia, and front doctors of divinity In the
states of Massachusetts and of Minnesota, we have
earnest letters indorsing Mils theory and giving addi
tional arguments for its prosecution. Men who have
laughed to acorn the idea as Impracticable for a quar-
ter of a century are coming now In earnest reflection to
say that It la not impossible, and to consider ways and
means to bring the movement into execution.
We have exhausted the wailings of apology upon
this Incident of the 22d of September. For'the rest of
Time let us notice and utilise the liberal education which
it has brought to thousands of our fellow citizens in all
sections upon a question which is already great nnd
growing greater, and will be greater for the next
quarter of a century.
The Famous Evangelist.
It la difficult to think of Sam Jones—Dead.
That vital personality, those straight looking and
splendid eyes, that engaging humor and that compelling
personality we.t the very pulse and glow of. richest, full
est life.
And yet in a moment, in the (winkling of an eye it is
all changed and the cold clay remalna with the spirit
gone ont of Jt forevea
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 bis power. Courage and nature were the attri
butes that caught and held hla little world of action. He
had them both. He said whatever he wanted to say
anywhere, at any titpe, under any circumstances, with
a severe and dauntless courage that never hesitated and
never trembled In expression or In apprehension. And
be 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 unembittered human nature that the cour
age iu him that startled was followed by the humanity
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
aud Maker had not added a clear bead, a quick brain,
a bubbling fun, a genial spile, then the creature would
not have been the winner that he was. But other men
have had 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 and sustained successes of hla day and gen
eration. He was the beat Known evangelist of his country
and ranked with- the two or three best known evange
lists of the world. He has perhaps awakened to se
rious thought, and turned from serious "meanness" more
men than any other man who hai preached to men In
these two decades. Some of these may have gone back
to apathy, as have the converts of many another'
preacher; but It Is safe to say that it all the quickened
spirits of the hosts who have been touched and quick
ened in hla thousand meetings should follow hla 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 ot the world's great gospel messengers, and
the measurement of hla usefulness can only be taken in
the estimate of the value ot the aouls of men. *
The element of mopey should not properly be listed
In the asseats of an evangelist, but it is to be said to hia
credit that his lectures, his books, his voluntary fees,
brought large profits to Sam Jones through many years,
and that he used his handsome income to provide for his
numerous family nnd to help the thousand charities that
he carried near his heart. •
No man who reads or hears will question the phenom
enal popularity which Snm Jones maintained from his
earliest evangel in North Georgia to the last crusade
waged in Oklahoma. The common people heard him
gladly and the great and prosperous were alike his
friends. He never spoke to less than crowded halls and
applauding audiences. He was the greatest drawing card
of chaiitauquas and lyceums, as lie was the magnet of
every gospel meeting and of every platform conference
of hla time.
Everywhere the multitudes flocked to hear him aud
lingered to uppiaud hint, it was tho crowning evidence
of his popularity and power that in his own home town,
and in his own capital city, after a hundred speeches, he
could still puck tabernacles or opera houses above every
other orator or his generation.
Here, then, upon the measurements of usefulness, of
fame, of prosperity and of popularity, we write down the
man who on yesterday was Sam Jones as filling the stand
ards of n man successful nnd potential beyond .the ordi
nary limits of successful men. v
There are other lines upon which at other times we
may study and discuss his life.
The danger which goes with the sorrow of his death
that other nnd weaker men. taking conrage In his
nbsence. nmy try to imitate the methods and the man
ners which were made for him alone.
OUR PL A TFORMr --The Georgian standi for Atlanta’s Owning Us own gas and elec
tric light plants, as it now owns Its Water works- 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 dohot 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

A Chance For a Young Man.
The developments of Southern agriculture have clear
ly, demons! rated one hopeful nnd Inspiring fact.
No man with Intelligence and experience has within
recent yearn given to n Southern farm diligent nnd per
sonal attention that he did not reap from it an almost
immediate competence and in the end abundant pros
perity.
Now it Is *true that Inexperelnced planters, indiffer
ent nttentlon, a half-hearted prosecution and a relega
tion ot authority to other hands, has frequently left
Southern farms In an nnprosperous condition. But you
cannot And In Georgin n farm large or small run by an
industrious and Intelllgtoiit man upon sound methods that
baa not paid hint bnck In happiness and in money.
From the record ot Dave Shelton, and McCormick,
and .lint Smith, and Pope Brown, all through the line
this fact Is established and Inspiring.
Opportunities are abundant in the South. We have
in many places In Georgia largo farms and stately
acres bought by men as Investments whoso lnrger inter
ests do nut leave them time for personal attention to
their farms. These conditions afford superb opportuni
ties to skillful and industrious young men ot tho South
nnd of tho North who have determined wisely to make
agriculture their profession.
Here, for Instance, the editor of The Georgian has a
friend who is the owner of a large and notable plantation
In one of the beat quarters of the state. He himself has
prospered ill this world’s goods nnd his farm is ample,
well located and capable of superb development. The
editor of fl'he Georgian will engage to Interest any young
man of brnlns and energy who has given his time and
talents to the study of agriculture, both practically and
theoretically, in this property and to furnish him with an
engagement that will be more profitable than a bank
clerkship, more prolific of happiness than a railroad
agency aud more promising of advauccinent than any
place behind the counter in the capital city of Georgia.
Wo are confident that there are other men who know
of just such positions waiting in tho South for the ap
plication ot capable and accomplished agriculturists to
take hold of them. We suggest to these men that they
make known by correspondence nnd by advertising Just
what Georgia and the Booth has to offer to young, en
ergetic. and progressive men who are willing to turn
their backs ou tho luxuries and temptations of the city
and to build solid and substantia! futures upon the farms
of Georgia, which they ran help to turn Into places of
beauty nnd of comfort that will redeem the Isolation
of the rural regions, nnd will ndorn and glorify the Btate.
There Is a movement on the part of rich men and of
prosperous men all over the country to Invest their sur
plus funds in agricultural lauds. And it is a wise and far
seeing movement. Bat one drift develops another. And If
the drift of moneyed men and of capitalists is toward the
rarms. that should make a drift of energetic, rigorous,
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 of time It will be as honorable to a
young business man to control and direct a prosperous
farm of many acre* as It is now to 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 hank.
Back to the farms! is the hopeful cry of the fu
ture. The Georgian has It in ita power to start one in
telligent. earnest and progressive young man on the high
way to prosperity.
We commend the consideration of these opportune
ties to the men in Georgia who own farms that they
cannot run, nnd to men In and out of Georgia who arc
capable of running farms that they do not own.
AN AMERICAN COUNT.
The romance of life comes very near
reaching Ita. 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 endures 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
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 a 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 J8) as a school teacher In
Rumford (now Concord), N. H.
While teaching the "young Ideas”
of Concord "how 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
stars 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, as
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 the place that
Thompson had been lifted to, and who
never forgave him for outstripping
them In the race, would not allow him
to serve his country.
He tried hard to get a commission In
the Continental army, but his enemies
ever stood In the way of his purpose,
and Anally Thompson was forced, ac
tually driven, to take sides with the
Crown.
Banished from his country, he went
to England, where his rare genius was
at once appreciated, and at the early
age 27 he 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 tho service of the elector
of Bavaria, whose rabble of an army
he reorganized, whose parks he trans
formed from waste plares Into pictures
of qpradlse, and whose foreign rela
tions he placed, as If by magic, upon a
most honorable footing.
When Thompson took hold of Ba
varlnn 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 a 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 tho 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 this magnlfleent 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 "Count Rumford," after the
little New England village where his
eyes first saw the light.
The Jealousy of those who envied
him the first honor that ever came to
him—that of the appointment of major
of militia—would not allow hint to
fight for his country, but now that he
was great and famous and about to be
hlghlv honored by a foreign people, he
would crown that honor by a still high
er one. that of being count of hts native
town, the obscure little hamlet In the
Vankeeland he loved more than all the
world besides!
Later, Thompson was accredited ns
Bavarian ambassador to the court of
St. James, but tho fact of his being a
British subject prevented the realiza
tion of thle exalted honor.
As a private cltlzou (p England, how
ever, Thompson passed several years
In scientific pursuits, proving himself
to be one of the most original experi
mentalists and discoverers of his day.
It was Thompson who In 1799 found
ed the no# celebrated Royal Institu
tion. AM the world Ims heard of Sir
Humphry Davy, the first lecturer In
that famous Institution. It was Thomp
son who found Davy and set him to
ork.
Educator, soldier, scientist, diplomat,
statesman, deep thinker and man of the
world, a prince of Idealists, nnd at the
same time one of the most hard-headed
and practical of men. . Benjamin
Thompson, when. In 1814, he breathed
his last nt Autcull, France, closed a
life-story such as It Is but seldom our
privilege to read.

To cure your Impatlency perhaps It

Like many udder great men Antrew

dot poverty Is no crime, but It has a
hard chob to convince der rhury.
• Antrew helped himself to abould slg-

Bristol, Va., Oct. IS.—Speaker Can
non spoke last night In the opera house
to ah 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 Sir.
Cannon, taking advantage of the Im
promptu situation, turned the applause
against the admirers of 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 1 the Cleveland administration.’
who would follow- him on that proposi
tion, and where there had been In
discriminate cheers came discreet si
lence.
While Cannon was explaining the
tariff and comparing conditions under
Air. 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
plied 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

New York, Oct. 16.—The opera war
Which Is said to be on In deadly earnest
with two opera palaces and two light,
luff 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, 5o
members of the old chorus, many „f
whom have appeared In this country
for twenty consecutive years, arrived
In New York on the steamship Moltke.
Another object of their return Is to get
their share of tho $11,000 benefit given
by Mme. Nembrich In the aid of ti„
musicians who suffered In the recent
earthquake. There are $4 men and l«
women In the party. ,
Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, aecom.
pentad by her mother, Mrs. Francis u
French, Is entertaining a house party
at the Vahderbllt camp, "Requeue,"
In the Adlrondncka.
I am reminded of one of the cele
brated duels of the country by a bit
of club gossip from Nswport,
The flags on the two fashlonablt
clubs there are at half maat for the late
"Winnie" Gray, who fought a duel cm
the Canadian border with John o
Heckacher, who later married his wife'
daughter of tha late William R. Tra-’
vers, and whose remains were Interred
at Newport. It was the talk of tits
country for weeks.
Mrs, Burke-Roche-Batonyl Is living
quietly at her redwood farm. Ports-
mouth, near Newport, nnd she is the
recipient of many local attantlons when
she drives to Newport. Mr. Batons!
has not been seen In Newport yet. Her
twin eons at Harvard often vlelt her.
Over at Piayfleld, N. J„ Mme Mod-
Jeska has begun her farewell tour, i
learn that she was most cordially re
ceived, At her first appearance and at
tho close of each act, she was greeted
with a demonstration that exhibited
plainly the affection and esteem in
which she Is held.
Mme. 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 waa In former days.
The question Is whether Willie
Dougherty, aged 9 months, of Newark,
did or did Dot 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 rome one may have found it. If
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 nut want It back, but Just to know
that It la outside ot Willie.

To-the Editor of The Georgian:
Atlanta Is passing through a crucial
test of manhood anti good cltlsenstilp,
and now Is the time for the eool-hended
Georgians to come lo the front. Much
•if the trouble of the last few days has
been caused by the Impulsive acts of
young and almost Irresponsible men of
both races, nnd (as Is nlways the case)
the Innocent are the greater sufferers.
That the lawless element among the
negroes lias, of late, committed many-
lawless nnd reprehensible acts, no one
will deny.
These deserve, nnd will get, their
punishment, but the saying that “only
a dead negro Is a good negro” la un-
liaie, nnd !he 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

A FOND REGRET.
How like to tliee thou silent harp
Is tbs heart that ha* loved and lost
There Is one silent chord yet left
That brine* uie hack the past;
The harmony of that melody
No dlneortl mars the silent Htrnln,
’Tie the memory of the lovo I lost
That re-echm-s hack again.
1 know hy this tlmt love can’t die,
But leaves Ita fetters for all time.
It's like tho silent harp laid hr
That sweeps again some fond desire
To awaken every tender thought
Of pleasure like n lover's drenm.
It's the ouly fountain of the heart
That leaves u wound that memory uever
JEW AND GENTILE.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Mrs. Marcus, of Cincinnati, walled
nnd moaned for money in that city with
which to pay her fare to Charleaton, S.
C„ that she might see her unfaithful
husband before hla death on the scaf
fold. It seems that the only man who
came to her asslatance In that city was
Habbl Joseph Joain, and he heard of
her sad case too late.
Christians In Cincinnati must be few.
The only Christian In It Is a Jew.

‘•What 1 want I* a bright, short

had brought him a six-act drama.
"How do you mean—a short, bright
drama?” asked the author. “Can you

Toole, "here's one. It’s direct and

CUTE SNAP SHOTS
If there is one thing more than another that gives
Fk X5? to I,arentB * ** * 8 cu te snap shots—"kodaks”—of
the little ones. No amount of coaxing in r regular pho
tographic gallery will bring out the playful attitudes, and
the comic situations so often seen In child life, like a
snap shot taken unawares. Then think how they'll be
appreciated In after life. A few minutes Instruction will
enable you to take good pictures with a kodak, and a
small child can handle one successfully—$1 to $35. Plenty
of rreeh supplies always on hand. We do the be>t devel
