Ga.. that Sam Jones’ monument should be built exclusively by those who have been brought to acknowledge Christ through hia ministry. Such a monument would be unique In the history of the world snd would doubtless carry to the family of the dead evangelist s higher tribute than any bronxe or stone or stately pyramid could bear. “Sam Jones—Tom Watson.” Tillman’s Tall Standing. After all, patriotism pays In the republic. Senator Tillman has not always been a popular fig ure upon the lyceum, and the lecture platforms have not In past years fsllen over themselves In anxiety to secure him. Bot Senator Tillman bore himself like a brava man and a atatesman In the last aesaion of the American aenate. Ha bore the brunt of the people’s fight for the regulation of the railroads, and he met all comers In that arena forcefully and fearlesaly. Tillman grew to graod proportions out of that session of the sen ate. and today In answer to an Invitation of the South Carolina Society of Atlanta, his secretory Informs the president of that society that every day of tha senator’s time from now until the re-assembling of congress on December 1. and that every day from the adjournment of tho next senate on March 4 to December of 1907, Is al ready under contract with the various lecture bureau* of tha country. It give* 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 ha* been some comment but no criticism upon the permission given for 8am Jones’ body to lie In state at the capitol. Whatever criticism might suggest Itself to the tboughUess mind has been answered on the inatqnt by the prompt nnd universal appreciation of the appropriate and proper act. It Is about the only public honor which the state can abow to a noble ctUsen who ha* fulfilled bi* mission and served bis time. In days of old the Greeks put s laurel wreath about the victor In the Olympian game*. In Franca the dream ot valor and of patriotism was the Cross of th# legion of Honor. We have lu this free America no external type or aymbol which we pin upon the cofilns ot oUr dead, or any honors with whlclfVe garb the loved ones whom they leave behind. But It Is right and Just nnd more than proper that the state should open wide the marble halls of its stately capitol, and In the building given to the ex ecutlon of her lawa and to the transaction of her great af faire, to make place for a day at least where any great citizen may lie la state to receive for the last time the tribute of his people and the tender consideration of hla friends. Nothing In the mission of Georgia’s capitol better be comes It than to make Its splendid wnlls the waiting place through which Its useful cltlsens pass from life’s strenuous struggle to the silent halls of Death. Not to every cltlxen perhnps should this gracious honor come. But wherever one has lived aa Sam Jones has lived—highly snd loftily with conspicuous ability nnd with unquestioned patriotism—the cltlxen who chances at the time to be the governor, should open wide the doors and make room for one honorable day to express the state’s appreciation ot one who has lived both loyally and well. It Is a custom that should Increase with time and be used with discrimination. For this great cltlxen who served both the church and the state, and for any citizen whose life has mixed with public affairs, both great and small, this large and yet little honor should be gladly nnd reverently shown. The hope that one day—his last day—may see bis casket In the capitol will ba another Inspiration for high thinking and right living to every citizen of Georga. Another Magazine. In this day ot many meritorious mngazines, Atlanta Is 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 centrsl and absorbing to commend It. The title ot the magazine la The Race Question and Southern Symposium. It Is to be devo ted exclusively to matters concerning the states ot the 8outh, a reflex of Caucasian sentiment, and a discus sion of the race question In the form of easave 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 U R. W. McAdara, one ot the strongest men thnt has been on the ataff of The Atlanta Constitution for many years. He baa been for five years an editorial writer on that paper nnd literary editor of The Sunny South. Half of bts life baa been spent In active newspaper work. He is thoroughly familiar with Southern conditions, being him- eelf a Virginian by birth and a Georgian by adoption, nnd hla heart la in tbe cause and task of building up this magaxlne. It looks to The Georgian aa If there ought to be a field 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” as the name of our new public building. Everybody hu calfed it that front 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- feet of their admiration. We noticed on yesterday a long line of little chairs in front of tbe office of The Constitution. We are consumed with curiosity to understand the uses to whicli they are to be put Can It be possible that our distinguished con temporary Is abot ’ .to become tbe protector of tbe Infant Industrie* of the country? (A Saturday Evening.) A few years ago and Just after the failure of tbe vice presidential candidacy of Thomas E. Watson In 1896, that famous Georgian wrote of Sam Jones one of the moit effective and eloquent sketches of hla life. He spoke of himself as a failure, saluting Sam Jones as a conspicuous winner, and from tbe depths and shad ow* of defeat he sent upward and outward his glowing and ungrudging panegyric to tbe great evangelist who, riding the crest of the wave, had realized In fame and usefulness that glittering aspiration which men and the world have called success. We would be glad today if we could reproduce that tribute of the brilliant publicist to the famous preacher, and to lay It lovingly a* an offering among the flowers of song and speech that garland the greenest grave In Georgia. We are wondering now what Tom Watson thinks of 8am Jones today. Ten years charged with large events have passed since that earlier estimate complied amid the chasten ed reflections of defeat. The evangelist lies dead amid the tears and plaudits of hla world. Paeans of praise 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 cas ket that held his mortal part, resting a full day of honor In the marble corridors of the capitol, haa 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. He 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 even’ compromise of principle, turned his back upoa'the glittering promises ot office which were eet for hla return to the rank of tha dominant faction, and with a consistency, pledged In sacrifice and maintained in he roic (eolation, be haa kept the faith ot hie advocacies and followed his convictions to successive stakes of mar tyrdom. Through loncllnesa, misunderstanding and misrepre sentation Tom Watson has not faltered In fidelity to,the cause and the people adopted as his own twelve years ago. And he haa rarely won. Never but once In hla battle- scarred career has victory perched upon hla banner*, or the flags of his faith waved over a triumphant field. HI* eloquence baa been praised, his logic has been Iaudod, hla consistency has been conceded and hi* splendid cour age haa wrung tribute from his sternest foes. But by the world's standards, which are selfieh and material, he must be measured as a defeated man—a baffled warrior —who has nearly always failed. There they are. in ahnrp and signal contrast—two famous Georgians of today. Rarely have life lines been set more separate and apart. This one for the church, the other for the state. laurels and laudation for tbe preacher. Cypress and sorrow for the statesman. The Soldier of the Cross on flowery beds of ease. The Populist and Patriot In perpettlgl and unequal strife. Vast congregations for the evangel—multitudes that heard him gladly—laughter and life, nnd loving and tears—with the visible Joy of the redeemed making green the paths of hit labor—with the songs of the saved swelling like music to his living ears, and the rejoicing hoat of hi* converts almost the last sight that lit Mi dy ing hilt triumphant' eyes. The defeated publicist—sifting for ten years desolate by hla hearthstone—working out In solitude and patient honeaty the strong convictions of hla faith, goes forth with high courage and heroic zeal to fight. Great odds are piled against him. Slander stabs his name; scorn fill ridicule assails; money mocks hla eloquence; friends full away; comrades turn traitors in a night; bitterness blurs his battles; the ranks are hostile that were once his friends, and on the final field where he haa staked and lost In dauntless sincerity, his pntrlol sympathies and his brave beliefs, night falls In failure nnd darkens In dc- PARTY ALIGNMENTS ARE TO BE John Sharp Williams Sees Smash Up is ear • Future. A MINISTER FROM CHICAGO PA YS TRIBUTE TO MR. JONES Cambridge, Md„ Oct. 20.—John Sharp Williams addressed a crowded house at the Auditorium here last night, hla speech being delivered In the Interesti of Congressman Thomas Smith, of the First Maryland district, a candidate for re-election. Mr. Williams expressed the belief that the country la on the verge of a and that In five years there will be two great parties, one composed, of men who. having loet all coiffldence In tho rapacity of the people to do anything for themselves, would Intrust every thing to government. The other party will be composed, he salt], of men who still believe In the Initiative of the Individual and In the principles enunciated by Thomas Jef ferson. He reviewed the causes leading to Democratic defeat, which he attributed to shameless corruption on the part of the corporations and divisions among tho Democrats. SUGGE8T8 MONUMENT TO REV. SAM P. JONES. To the Editor of The Georgian; Of course a monument to the mem ory of Rev. Sam 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 thoie who were led to Christ through him know of the plan, and an adequate amount will soon be raised. Richland, Oa., Oct. IS. WATCH OUT FOR THE NEXT MAN To the Editor qf The Georgian: I have read your paper with much Interest regarding municipal owner ship, and I hope you will keep the good work up. but there Is one thing that has been bothering me, and that Is. win In the’ last election? He Stood for what you are advocating and with your help, then, I believe that his else tlon would have been certain. Would like to read your statement.- T. F. SOUTHERN. fest. Patriot and Preacher—Priest nnd Propagandist- they are Georgia's own. In brain and pulse, in heart and hope, they love and honor—they save and serve her as their separate faiths have sent them to her needs. Is the servant of tbe itale less worthy tbaft the servant of the church? Is the priest all perfect and the patriot altogether wrong? la success the measure of n true man’s service? Is victory the vain# of a civic faith? Benedictions have blessed tbe preacher all hit ra diant day. He has sown In the wealth ot his sub stance and haa gathered hla harvests In a thousand sheaves. The work ot his hands hat been established upon him. Yea tbe work ot bit hands God has estab lished It. But the patient publicist struggling In darkness and defeat, has wrought like the tapestry weavers that work across the sea—worked on the wrong aide maybe, but worked for the right side aye. Partle# that scorned him once are arbaorblng now his creeds; platforms that mocked him are marking his principles In planks that plead; and the people persuaded so often to defeat him and deny, are awaking at last to see that his warning was wisdom, and that hla signal was the safety of the state. Side by side we place them—preacher and populist— the living and the dead. They have filled large place* 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 success and failure upon these great Georgia live* let ns pause and reflect upon tbe wide variance which our human standards make with that serene and Judicial verdict which tranquil history ren- jders and which high heaven approves. A GEORGIA TOBACCO FARMER. To the Editor of The Georgian: After rending your able editorial on the opportunities offered us Southern farmers I thought I would give you a brief dlscrlptlon of the agricultural op portunities In this section. We grow tobacco hero for our money crop, and to the uninformed It would seem like ”n fairy tale” 'to tell of the future that enn be made and will be made In this section on tobacco farms Tha crop brought last year an aver Hge price of 20 cents per pound for sun grown tobacco, and from 60c to 60c for covered tobncco. The varieties grown here are the Cuban seed leaf nnd the Sumatra seed leaf. What mean by sun grown tobacco, l» to bacro grown out In the open Just as corn and cotton la grown, and covered tobacco Is tobacco grown under lattice or cheese cloth shades. The average yield per acre Is 1,000 pounds where tha crop Is grown on ordinary land and with ordinary fertilising, and from 1,200 to 1,600 where the crop Is well fer tilised. So you see where the cotton farmer only makes $60 per acre, should be make a hale per acre, we can lake the same amount of labor and fertilizer and make at least *200 per acre, and It wish to get tho fancy prices we con cover In an acre for 2200 and put $100 worth of fertiliser In It and make 81.500 per acre for our crop. Lands are com paratively cheap. Good tobacco lands can he bought from $15 to $25 per acre, and the price of tobacco Is guar- teed, ns you can sell your crops for five years ahead at the prices 1 men Honed, If you wish to do so. If you see fit to publish this letter and want me to write you another one giving all the fetalis of the tobncco business In this section, I will do mv and will answer all correspondence- ad dressed to me.

Sam P. Jones at the capitol Friday morning: at 11 o'clock. He said: "Rev. Sam P. Jones was the greatest admixture of contrast that ever com bined In one human being, bo far. as my reading, observation or personal acquaintance can gauge. He h&d the dauntless courage of a thousand brave men. and the sympathy and tender ness of the sweetest woman. He was 4he 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 to the suffering sinner. "He was the whole fearless regiment, sweeping across the battlefield with cy clonic fury, leaving the field strewn with the wounded and dying; then he was the whole Red Cross Society, fol lowing in tbe wake of the caustic caty- clysm, 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+j purpose of tearing off the mask and allowing men to see themselves. “To him the pulpit was no gilded prison cell. In which to palaver, paliste or pander. He had no fear of poignant persecution, no bow 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 fire, Ham Jones dealt In real fire. 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—as he told me a few weeks ago In his home—the pulpit was a throne, whereupon he was called to sway a scepter Jn righteousness, love and faithfulness. "He had the conviction that he was sent of God—I know he was! To this age, where cowardice, superficiality, poltroonism, policy-seeking and Infi delity surged like billows over the re ligious as well as the political life of our nation, he was as truly God’s prophet saying, 'Thou art the man,’ as was Nathan In his day. His strength can only be measured by the burden he bore. Tbe cross that be 1)0X0 was heavy; he suffered pains which w 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 the sorrows of tho grave encompassed him. and when It seemed that his goal was despair, God seemed to speak audibly to him these words: GOSSIP! ” 'When through the waters I cause thee to go. ' The rivers ot sorrow shall not thee overflow. For I will l>e with thee, thy troubles to bleu*, And sanctity to thee thy deepest dls- , treia,' and when he turned and told hie pre clous wife, the answer of, God to hla heart, she said. ‘My darling, God gave mo the same words at the same mo ment.’ T know Tiow mellow hie great heart was; I have prayed nnd wept with him In hla own home, where the evidences of weakness or strength In any man are exhibited. He showed that he was a tower of strength; he fought a good arrlor has faced earth's la«t bat tlefield. Today he I, wearing th* crown which God,gave him When Ho lifted the cross from his tired shoul ders. He has met Jesus Christ, and God the Father, nnd now he may be talking with Daniel or Abraham or Paul or John. He has kissed his 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 wherfe 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 thht point of spiritual equipoise between earth nnd heaven. Heaven's attraction drew him home to God forever." Rev. Dr. George Stewart, of Cleve land, Tenn., for fifteen years a co worker with Rev. Sam Jones, followed In an Impressive prayer.

Some part of the liabilities were In curred through the expense of his 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.
