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 Nooks and Corners of American History By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. 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. DINKELSPIEL ON ACQUIRING WEALTH By GEO. V. HOBART.

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 chise (which the negro never should have had), the writer believes that there Is such a thing ns the w-hlte men and negroes of Georgia, living In peace and harmony. And It can only be by the supremacy in politics of the white man. The writer comes from the largest county In North Carolina, where the A FOND REGRET.
