Senator Tillman haa not alwaya been a popular fig ure upon the lyceum, and the lecture platforms have not In past year* fallen over themselves In anxiety, to secure him. But Senator .Tillman bore himself like a brave man and a statesman In the laet session of tlfc American senate. He bore the brunt of the people's light for the regulation of the railroad*, and he met all comers In that arena forcefully and fearlessly. Tillman grew to grand proportion* out of that session of the aen- ate, snd today In 'answer to an Invitation of the South Carolina Society of Atlanta. bl« secretary Inform* the president of that aoclety that every day of the senator's time from now until the re-aaiembling of congress on December*, and that evary day from the adjournment of the next senate on March 4 to December of 1807, la al ready under contract with the various lecture bureau* ef the country. It gives us personal and professional pleasure to make this announcement to the multitude of friends of the senior senator from South Carolina. Georgia’s Last Laurel For Worthy Sons. There has been some comment but no criticism upon the permission given for Ssm Jonee' body to lie In state at the capitol. Whatever criticism might suggest Itself to the thoughtless mind haa been answered on the Instant by the prompt and universal appreciation of the appropriate and proper act. It It abont the only public honor which the state can show to a noble dtlsen who baa fulfllled Ills mission and the victor In the Olympian games. In France tho dream of valor and of patriotism was the Cross of the legion of Honor. We have In this free Amotlcn no external type or symbol which we pin upon the cOfllns of our dead, or any honors with which we garb tho loved ones whom they leave behind. But It ta right and juit and more than proper that the state should open wide the marble halls of Its atately capitol, and In the buUdlng given to the ex ecutlon of her law* and to the tran&ctlon of her great af fairs, to make place for a day at least where any great citizen may lie In atate to receive for the last time tho tribute of his people and the tender consideration of his friends. Nothing in the mission of Georgia's capitol better be comes It than to make Its splendid walls the waiting placo through which Its useful cHItena pass from life's strenuous struggle to the silont halls of Death Not to every citizen perhaps should this gracious honor come. • But wherever one hse lived as Sam Jones has lived—highly and loftily with consplcuoui ability and with unquestioned patriotism—the citizen who chances at the time to bo the governor, should open wide the doors snd make room for one honorable day to express the state's appreciation of one who haa lived both loyally and well. It Is a custom that should Increase with tlmo and bo used with discrimination. For this great cltlxen who served both the church nnd the state, and for any citizen whose life hsa mixed with public affair*, both great and email, this large and yet little honor should be gladly and reverently shown. The hope that one day—bis last day—may see his casket In the capitol will be another Inspiration for high thinking and right living to every citizen of Georgs. A MONUMENT OF SOULS.—That was an ad mlrsble suggestion made in Friday's Georgian by Mr. B. J. Burch, of Richland, Ga., that Sam Jones' monument should be built exclusively by those'who have been brought to acknowledge Christ through his ministry. Such a monument would be unique In the history of the world and would doubtless carry to the family of the dead evangelist a higher tribute than any bronze or atone or atately pyramid could bear. “Sam Jones—Tom Watson.” (A Saturday Evening.) A few years ago and Just after the failure of the vice presidential candidacy of Thomas E. Watson in 1896, that famous Georgian wrote of Sam Jones one of the most effective and eloquent sketches of his life. He spoke of himself as a failure, saluting Sam Jones as a conspicuous winner, and from the depths and shad ows of defeat he sent upward and outward his glowing and ungrudging panegyric to the great evangelist who, riding the crest ol the wave, had realized in fame and usefulness that glittering aspiration which men and the world have called sueceaa. We" would be glad today If we could reproduce that tribute of the brilliant publicist to the famous preacher, and to lay It lovingly aa an offering among the flowers of song and apeech that garland the greenest grave In Georgia. We are wondering now what Tom Watson thinks of Sam Jones today. Ten year* charged with large events have passed since that earlier estimate compiled amid the chasten ed reflections of defeat. The evadgellst lies dead amid the tears and plaudits of his world. Paeans of pralae are sung above him; tributes of speech fall soft and tender from a hundred tongues, prayers of gratitude rise above him from thousands whose hearts were touched and turned, by his ministry to behold the Cross, and the cat. ket that held his mortal part, resting a full day of honor in the marble corrldoTh of the capitol, has been crowned and covered with every flower left to the lingering sum mer by Autumn's generous grace. The publicist remains, leader of lost causes, focal of faction, and center of economic storms. 'Ho has fought his brave battles, with . unbroken courage and with unfailing, eloquence, to their armed armistice or to the predestined end. .He has rebuked temptation, re fused every compromise of principle, turned his back upqn the glittering promises of ofllce which were set for his return to the rank of tho dominant faction, and with consistency, pledged in sacrlflce and maintained In he roic Isolation, he has kept the faith of his advocacies and followed his convictions to successive stakes of mar tyrdom, Through loneliness, misunderstanding and misrepre sentation Tom Watson has not faltered In fidelity to the cause and the people adopted aa his own tweltri years ago. And he has raroly won. Never but once In his battle- scarred career haa victory perched upon bis banners, or served his time. In days of old the Greeks put a laurel, wreath about „f Hla faith waved over a triumphant field. His . . • a a «.*«,*■ 1st Crn nna Itm A roll m Another Magazine. In this day of many merttorjous magazines. Atlanta la to have another. And there are brains behind It, too, and wide expe rience and a strong touch. And It has a theme that is central and absorbing to commend it. The title of the magazine Is The Race Question and Southern Symposium. It is to be devo ted exclusively to matters concerning the atates of the South, a reflex of Caucasian sentiment, and a discus sion of the race question In the form of essays of the ed itor and competent students of the race question who have been Invited to contribute their opinions especial ly for publication. The man behind this literary gun Is R. W. McAdam. one of the strongest men that haa been on the staff of The Atlanta Constitution for many years. He haa been for live years an editorial writer on that paper and literary editor of The Sunny South. Half of his life has been spent In active newspaper work. He la thoroughly familiar with Southern conditions, being him self a Virginian by birth and a Georgian by adoption, and his heart la In the cause snd task of building up this magazine. It lookB to The Georgian as If there ought to b« a Held for such a venture, and we cordially wish our accomplished and gifted friend McAdams full success. The spontaneous suggestion of all Atlanta has set tled upon "Armory Hall" aa the name of our new public building. Everybody haa called It that from the begin ning. and we do not suppose that another title has been suggested by any one outside of the devoted admirers of distinguishes Individuals who would like to honor the ob ject of their admiration. . We noticed on yesterday a long line of little chairs in front of the ofllce of The Constitution. We are consumed with curiosity to understand the uses to which they are to be put. Can It be possible that our distinguished con temporary Is a hot to become the protector of the Infant Industries of the country? eloquenco haa been praised, his logic has been lauded, his consistency has been conceded and his splendid cour age has wrung tribute from his sternest foes. But by the world's standards, which are selfish and material, he must be measured as a defeated man—a battled warrior —who has nearly always tailed. There thoy are, In sharp and signal contrast—two famous Georgians 2>f today. Rarely havo life lines been set more separate and apart. This one for the church, the other fpr the state. Laurels and laudation (Tor the preacher. Cypress and sorrow for the stateaman. Tho Soldier of tho Cross on flowery beds of ease. The Populist and Patriot In perpetual and unequal strife.

The defeated publicist—sitting for ten years desolate by his hearthstone—working out In solitude nnd patient honesty the strong convictions of his faith, goes forth with high courage and heroic zeal to fight. Groat odds are piled against him. Slander Blabs hli name; acorn, ful ridicule aeealle; money mocks his eloquence; friends fall away; comrades turn traitora In n night; bltterneaa blurs his battles; the ranks are hostile that were once his frlenda, and on the final field where he has staked and lost In dauntless sincerity, his patriot sympathies and bis brave beliefs, night falls In failure and darkens In de feat. Patriot and Preacher—Priest and Propagandist— they are Georgia's own. In brain and pulse, In heart nnd hope, they love nnd honor—they save, and serve her ai their separate faiths have aent them to her neede.

Is victory the value of a civic faith? Benedictions hare blessed the preacher all his ra diant day. lie haa sown In the wealth of his sub stance and haa gathered his harvests In a thousand ■heaves. The work of hli hands has been established upon him. Yea the work of hla hands God has estab lished It. But the patient publicist struggling in darkness and defeat, haa wrought like the tapestry weavers that work across the sea—worked on the wrong side maybe, but worked for the right side aye. Parties that scorned him once are arbsorbtng now hla creeds; platforms that mocked him are marking hla principles In planks that plead; and the people persuaded so often to defeat him and deny, are awaking at last to see that hla warning was wisdom, and that hla signal was the safety of the atate. Side by aide we place them—preacher and populist— the living and the dead. They have tilled large places In their sphere and time of work. They have worked and won. They have fought and failed. But before we close the volume and write the final estimate of aucceaa and failure upon these great Georgia Uvea let ua pauae and reflect upon the wide variance which our human standards make with that serene and Judicial verdict wMch tranquil history reo rders and which high heaven approve*. PARTY ALIGNMENTS ARE TO JE BROKEN Johu Sharp Williams Sees Smash Up Near Future. Cambridge, Md., Oct 20.—John Sharp Williams addressed a crowded house at tl\e Auditorium here last night, his speech being delivered In the Interests of Congressman Thomas Smith, of the First Maryland district, a candidate for re-election. Mr. Williams expressed the belief that the country Is on the verge of a break-up of the old party alignments and that In live years there will be two great parties, one composed of men who, having lost all confidence In the capacity of the people to do anything for themselves, would intrust every thing to government. The other party will be composed, he sold, of men who still believe In the Initiative of the individual and in the principles enunciated by Thomas Jef ferton. He reviewed the causes leading' to Democratic defeat, which he attributed to shameless corruption on the part of the corporations and divisions among the Democrats. 3UGGEST8 MONUMENT * TO REV. SAM P. JONES. To the Editor of The Georgian: Of course a monument to the mem ory of Rev. Bam P. Jones will be erect ed. The writer would suggest to those who will have the matter In hand, that the many who were converted under Mr. Jones' ministry be allowed the privilege of erecting said monument. No appeal will be necessary, only let those who were led to Christ through him know of the plan, and an adequate amount will soon be raised. I Richland, Ga., Oct. 18. WATCH OUT FOR THeUeXT MAN. To the Editor of The Georgian: I have read your paper with much interest regarding municipal owner- , and 1 hope you will keep the good t up, but there Is one thing that has been bothering me, and that Is, why didn't you support Thomas Oood- wln In the last election? He stood for what you are advocating and with your help, then, I believe that his elec tion would have been certain. Would like to read your statement. T. F. SOUTHERN. A GEORGIA TOBACCO FARMER. To the Editor of The Georgian: After reading your able editorial on the opportunities offered us Southern farmers I thought I would give you a brief dtscrlptton of the agricultural op portunities In this section. We grow tobacco here for our money crop, und to the uninformed It would seem like "a fulry tule" to tell of the future that can be made and will be made In this section on tobacco farms. The crop brought last year an aver age price of 20 cents per pound for sun grown tobacco, nnd from 00c to 00c for covered tobacco. The varieties grown hero are the Cuban seed leaf und the Sumatra seed leaf. What I mean by sun grown tobacco, Is to bacco grown out In the open just ns corn nnd cotton Is grown, and covered tobacco Is tobacco grown under lattice or cheese cloth shndes. The average yield per acre Is 1,000 pounds where the crop Is grown on ordinary land and with or.llnnry fertilising, and from .200 to 1,600 where the crop Is well fer tilized. Ho you see where the cotton farmer only makes 860 per acre, should be make a bale per ncre, we can take the same amount of labor und fertiliser ami make at lenat 8200 per acre, and If wish to get the fancy prices we can cover In an aero for $200 and put $100 Worth of fertiliser In It and make $1,500 per acre for our crop. I-ands are com paratively cheap. Goad tobacco Jands con be bought from $15 lo $23 arre, anil the price of tobacco Is guar- teed. aa you can sell your crops for five years ahead at the prtcea 1 men tioned, If you wish to do so. If you see fit to publish this letter and wont me to write you nnother one giving all the details of thf tobacco business In this section, 1 will do so, and wilt answer all correspondence ad drersed to me. ..... , ..

A MINISTER FROM CHICAGO PA YS TRIBUTE TO MR. JONES Rev. French E. Olllver, of Chicago, delivered the following tribute to Rev. dellty surged like billows over the re ligious as well as the political life of ijur nation, he was aa truly Gods Sam P. Jones at the capitol Friday ™ r ph ™;!ng, -^ott art the man,’ as morning at 11'o'clock. He said: "Rev. Sam P. Jones was the greatest admixture of contrast that ever com- blned In one human being, so far as my reading, observation or personal acquaintance can gauge. He had the dauntless courage of a thousand brave men, and the sympathy and tender ness of the sweetest woman. He was the diagnostician, studying the pathol ogy of the pandemics, endemics and epidemics of mankind, morally and re ligiously. Then he became the' sur- geon driving the scalpel through the diseased parts, causing excruciating pains to the one In whom he drove the Instrument, but he was In the next moment the soft-handed, sweet-voiced nurse, administering the balms and tonics lo the suffering sinner. "He was the whole fearless regiment, sweeping across the battleflehl with cy clonic fury, leaving the Held strewn with the wounded and dying; then he was the whole Red Cross Society, fol lowing In the wake of the cauatlc caty- clyam, bringing the comfort of a thou sand loves Into the aching hearts. Brother Jones never gave a thorn with out a rose; he never gave honeycomb without honey; he never hurt a man In this world In his great ministerial career but for t.Vj purpose of tearing off the mask and allowing men to see themselves. ‘‘To him the pulpit was no glided prison cell, In which to palaver, pallate or pander. He had no fear of poignant persecution, no botv to make before a reprobate taskmaster, ruling a degen erated company of pulpit puppets with a rod of gold. While some pulpits dealt In painted Are, Sam Jones dealt In real Are. Irrevocable convictions swept him Into a relentless warfare, where he did more to strengthen the back bones of the American preachers than any man who has ever, labored in this country. To him—os he told me a few weeks ago In his home—the pulpit was a thrope, whereupon he was called to sway a scepter In righteousness, love and faithfulness. . “He held the conviction that he was sent of God—I know he was! To this age. where cowardice, superAciallty, poltroonlsm, policy-seeking and Infl- wns Nathan In his day. IBs strength can only be measured by the burden he bore. The crocs that he bore was heavy; he suffered pains which would have made a giant crouch and cower like a belabored hound—but he bore them as a prince of Israel, which he was. I heard him tell recently how tho sorrows of the grave encompassed him. and when It seemed that his goal was despair, God seemed to speak audibly to him these words; ‘“When through the waters -I cause thee to go. The rivers of sorrow shall not thee overnow, For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest dis tress,’ and when he turned and told his pre cious wife, the answer of God to his heart, she said. ‘My darling, God gave me the same words at the same mo ment.' "I know how mellow his great heart was; I have prayed and wept with him In his own home, where the evlde^es of weakness or strength In any man are exhibited. He showed that he was a tower of strength; he fought a ifood Aght; he Anlshed his course, the Intre pid Warrior has faced earth's last bat tlefield. Today he is wearing the crown which God gave him when He lifted the cross from his tired shoul ders. Ho haa met Jesus Christ, and God the Father, and now he may be talking with Daniel or Abraham or Paul or John. He has kissed hla mother and grasped his father’s hands. His little babe which went before him has- welcomed him into the city. Let an object pass one Inch earthward or skyward at the point of equipoise where Is registered the limit of earth's attraction, as well as the limit of the sun’s attraction—and Instantly It will move earthward or sunward. Brother Jones reached that point In the spirit ual firmament, for there Is that polnr of spiritual equipoise between earth and heaven. Heaven's attraction drew him home to Ood forever." Rev. Dr. George Stewart,' of Cleve land, Tenn., for fifteen years a co worker with Rev. Bam Jones, followed In an Impressive prayer. ! GOSSIP!

Rawi- Ins Is greatly displeased with Attor ney John R. Cooper's argument before the pardon board last Saturday, in be half of Milton and Jesse Rawlins, the part he particularly objects to being Mr. Cooper's statement that If the boys are connected with the murder of the Carter children at all It was through the InAuence and at the Instigation of their father. The elder Rawlins ap pears greatly disappointed because his wife, who heard the argument, did not at once confute the lawyer's state ment. Rawlins said: “My wife has gone clear back on me. She ought to have stood up at the moment Cooper uttered that and told him that It was not so. She knows that I flld not send the boys with Alt Moore to kill those children, and that I was In town at the time. If they were sent by an body It was by—well, not me. "I may be mean enough to hang, but I am not mean enough to get my boys in such a scrape as that.'’ R. S. WESSELS, Chairman Entertainment Committee. TWO ARE WOUNDED IN PITCHED BATTLE AT RAILROAD CAMPS Special io The Georgian. ■ Woodbury, Ga., Oct. 20.—As the re sult of an altercation between Will OIII and Virgil Moreland, at a camp of the Callahan Construction Company, six miles below here, on Thursday afternoon, both men He wounded, Vir gil Moreland aerloualy. If not fatally. Warm words were had between the two men In the morning, over the at tempted arrest of a negro In the camp, and In the afternoon Moreland re turned. armed with a'shotgun and pis tol, It is stated, to have a definite un derstanding with OIII, and the latter, upon Moreland's advance, fired his pis. tol, wounding his adversary in the head. Gill then turned away and Moreland shot him In the back with a shotgun. This proved the signal for a general attack upon Moreland by the laborers about the camp, more than fifty shots being fired at him by both white and black. But only one bullet of this fusillade struck him, and this took serious effect In his back, little hone of his recovery being entertained. Will Gill Is not vitally hurt. % Both men are of Woodbury.

Lady Algernon Gordon Lennox, alter spending several weeks In America, has sailed on the Republic for Naples whence she will proceed to the Island of Capri for the winter. She will be Joined there by her'daughter, Miss Ivy Gordon Lennox, and by her husband Lord Algernon Gordon Lennox. You remember Lady Gordon Lennox as the best dressed woman In England, of course. Mrs. Langtry has a neat little knack all her own for rising the King's Kng- Ilsh to picturesque advantage. I over heard the Jersey Lily describe to a gentleman, who looked an awful swell and who waa lunching with the act- ress at the Hoffman House, as "a bilious, green and, yellow day, tinged with touches of an Immoral magenta color," which struck me as a very adequate description of the color scheme of the day. And. to match the day, she daxited the matinee audi ence at the Fifth avenue, with a new gown of green chiffon with garlands of gold and silver embroidered In the empire style, with a bunch of Im moral magenta roaes palpitating at her bosom. Alas, this year's crop of canaries Is spurious. They're only painted spar rows that the patrons of the country fairs have been buying in quantities from soft spoken East Side vender*. From Connecticut comes the news that scores of persons who bought sup posed canary birds at the county fair at remarkably low prices have since given the’birds their freedom, as they proved to be common sparrows dyed yellow. The exciting chase from Chicago, all over America and Europe, which you still remember the actor, Francis Sedg wick Wilson, made to recover his lit tle son from his former wife, June Van Busklrk. the beautiful young actress, had Its sequel today In the bankruptcy of Wilson because of the expense of the chase. The actor filed a petition of volun tary bankruptcy In the United States district court, stating his liabilities to; be $2,567, with assets of only $1X1.1 Some part of the liabilities were In curred through the expenee of hla di vorce suit against’ his wife, who was. subsequent to the granting of the decree, reported engaged to Robert Vernon Harcourt, son of the late Sir Vernon Harcourt. Wllson’a pursuit of June van Bus klrk became the sensation of two con-, tlnents. It began In Chicago, where she had the boy when her husband-se cured his decree giving him the cus tody of the child. Aa soon aa she heard of th* divorce decree she boarded a train for New'York, whence ehe took steamer for London, with Wilson close at her heels. Her husband saw her In the Carlton restaurant. Then be gan an auto race to Brighton. Mother and chlm eluded Wilson, returning to London, thence going to Paris, Berlin and Swltxerland, where she hid herself In a small village, and her husband lost the trail. / To demonstrate woman’s sincerity In asking the suffrage, as well as to show what effect her vote would have upon the election, the Harlem- Equal Rights League will open Voting booths at the Havgny, No. 2804 Firth avenue, on election day at 11 a. m.
