Welcome to Governor and Mrs. Terrell.
We extend an especial welcome to his excellency,
Governor Joseph M. Terrell, upon hla return to Atlanta
today.
For twelve hours the capital of Georgia was Involved
In doubt and apprehension as to the safety of the chief
executive of the state. Governor and Mrs. Terrell
were on the east coast of Georgia and Florida, and were
In the recent storm which swept the Peninsula and the
Isle of Cuba, and for two days the governor's friends had
not heard from him. ,
We cannot afford to let the governor and hla charm
Ing.wlfe come back to Atlanta, after such an experience,
without extending to them the geueral and undivided con
gratulations of thp peoipe of Georgia upon their fortunate
escape and upon their present safety.
The governor has many friends beyond the pale of
politics, and to these bis safety and prosperity Is some-
thing more than'a mere civic consideration. Few men
have greater charm In their personal and individual ro-
latlons with men than the governor of Georgia. Ho ia
, an admirable comrade, a capital story teller, an unselfish
companion on a frolic or a march, and no man who has
eyer been so fortunate as to spend with him a halcyon
day of holfday Is likely to forget the genlsl glow of his
comradeship or the charm of hts kindly manner.
We have not always palled in the same current of
opinion with the governor of Georgia, and we hive not
hesitated when we differed with him to frankly say so.
But we are at least too wise It we are not at last too old
to permit political differences to check In any way the
pleasant current of personal associations.
And 10. with cordial pleasure both upon our own part
and upon the part of many of The Georgian’s readers, wo
express the pleasure which we all fee! In seeing Joseph
M. Terrell, of Meriwether, safely back to his home and to
bit high estate.
Consuelo and Her Duke.
• We are sorry that Conauelo Vanderbilt and her ducal
husband have fallen upon a Anal difference.
t Of all the American girls who have sold them
selves to European titles within these twenty years wo
like Consuelo best.
It is not easy to Imagine that any full-blooded, clear-
beaded American girl could ever find It In her heart to
choose, through love, one of these spent nnd attenuated
• princelings of an effete nobility In preference to the- fine,
resolute and eplrlted men of her own country. And we
take It for granted, simply and naturally, that without
exception, the marriages of thlB type have been baaed
upon, the material considerations, and tho social aspira
tions which are tho life and breath of the class to
which they belong.
In this view the Vanderbilt girl Iks at least held
herself highly, and has commanded the highest pre
mium which European distinction has set against Amer
ican money and American chajm The name of Marl
borough la one of tho oldeet and noblest In Europe and
the English realm haa no title that* was better worth tho
beauty and fortune of an American heiress than that for
which Conauelo'a mother schemed and traded with con
summate (kill some ten years ago.
The first was the only fault her countrymen have
ever found with the young daughter of the Vanderbilts,
She has reflected honor upon her race and country In
every relation of her married life. Like a true, bravo
American girl, she haa aaaumed her place In the English
and- European courts simply, clearly and without either
embarreasment or affectation. In tho dignity of virtue nnd
of self-respect she haa nobly held her own, and baa com
manded not only tho admiration but tho absolute ronpoct
of the English court and of the English king and queen.
She has been a loyal and always helpful wife. She haa
been a good mother In the eye nnd Judgment of her world,
and In all the garish gossip and unseemly scandal of the
circles In .which she moved, this daughter of a demo
cratic republic has been the lady untmpcached and tho
woman unatalned by rumor or roport.
We have been proud of Consuelo, Duchess of Marl
borough—we Americans who cast nn occasional eye
across the seas—and somehow we have It in our minds
that the little woman whom we look upon aa higher and
better than the average of her class, Is In trouble now
and'In sorrow not of her own making or desert.
We hold yet In this free republic to standards and
to sentiment which does not permit us to even understand
bow a nobleman of England could separate himself from
a good and great woman because of disappointment with
bar financial dowry* which he thoroughly and accurately
estimated at hla marriage. If the Marlborough dukelet
was a mere speculator, gambling on the death of Con-
suelo’i father or hla failure to marry a second time, he
was doubly unworthy of the American girl, who has shown
herself from first to last to lie nobler In every way than
this acton of Britain’s best.
The sympathy of the EnglUh speaking race, and we
think the pulse of the English court, Is with Vanderbilt's
daughter.
Whatever la good and notable In the Marlborough
house within the decade haa been inspired or done by
the wife. The husband left to himself or linked to a
leaser woman and a larger fortune, will doubtless drift
back to bis level among the hopelesB mediocrity of Eng
lish dukes.
We are glad to have Consuelo back again. She was
always too good for her foreign environment.
After all old Andrew Carnegie has tho sense and
sound judgment on them all:
„ "Better a coachman," said be tg hla eloping niece.
A Board of Trade Needed.
If the movement Inaugurated at the Dutch supper
tendered by Mr. George W. Parrott on last Monday night
to the business men of Atlanta, for the purpose of or-
ganlxlng a cotton, stock, grain and petroleum exchange,
proves succeasful, Mr. Parrott will hare done as much for
the good of Atlanta, from a buatness standpoint, as any
■Ingle citizen of this period of our progress.
It will be the stepping atone to other and greater
things; and, while the proposed exchange la an absolute
necessity. Its benefits will be small when compared
with the beginning of business organizations In Atlanta.
The organization of a Board of Trade will be the nat
ural sequence of the dally meetings of our merchants.
An organized board of trade haa been needed In
Atlanta for many years. Our city la behind many others
In this respect. We have been working every man for
himself, to the detriment of Atlanta long enough, and not
only oar own people, but people outside of Atlanta, have
been kept In the dark as to the amount of business
transacted. We have been overlooking one of the big
gest advertising schemes ever offered us.
Let us have a board of trade. Give the press statis
tics. Let our own people know what we are doing. Out
siders will be quick to see our business enterprise.
The bankB have an organization. The Atlanta Clear
ing House Association publishes figures dally. All of us
know bow the banking business has grown. This asso
ciation haa a session dally, each bank being represented
by a clerk, and la presided over by a manager.
Why not have a board of trade? The city press would
gladly publish any and all statistics it would see fit to
make public. Let the people have factB. They do not get
them. ,
How many of our people know how many bales of cot
ton are handled In Atlanta In a year? A prominent New
York paper‘'placed last year's receipts at about 50,001)
bales, when in fact 175,000 bales would have been more
nearly correct.
How many mules are bought and sold In a year In
Atlanta? Our city claims to be third In the mu|e trade.
Jobbers In flour tell us that an enormous amount of
flour la handled In Atlanta.
Corn, oata and hay are bought and sold by the car
load.
Hogs, cattle, sheep, meat and lard are sold.
Olve the world statistics, give your prices and we
will surely be successful.
All these and many other things can be accomplished
through a board of trade.
Therefore, let ua have one.

The Study of the Problem.
Our neighbor The Constitution, which so heartily
Indorses Dr. Stirling's sensible suggestions ns to a sci
entific study of the negro criminal, might just as easily
and a little earlior have Indorsed exactly the same views
when they were twice presented editorially In The Geor
gian.,
On the day before the riot, and twice since then, The
Georgian earnestly stated that rape was now seen to be
not more a crime of race than of Individuals, and that
we should now proceed to study this question scientific
ally "as the experts study cholera and yellow fever—for
the germs."
We urged upon the officers of the law, the physicians
In charge, and the sociological experts to collect from
each and every criminal all possible data aa to color, edu
cation, temperament, habits, association, drugs used, pre
vious history, heredity, religious affiliation, etc., and to
begin on the Individual criminal the study of the condi
tions which had developed as a general passion the moat
monstrous of human crimes.
This suggestion ,was widely and strongly Indorsed
by thoughtful men, and we are anxious now to see It
pass from the realm of mere suggestion Into a line of
tangible action. *
To do this It requires some organisation to begin.
Whereupon we respectfully present the matter to the
attention of onr Atlanta Sociological 8oclety and trust It
will find time and Inclination to give the matter some or
ganized attention.
Meanwhile,, Dr. Stirling's letter cotnalns some excel
lent suggestions, and although neither the doctor nor The
Constitution snw fit to Indorse the prior suggestion of The
Georgian, It gives us pleasure In a broader spirit to In
dorse both Dr. Stirling and The Constitution.
It Is the Idea we are after, not the Initiative. What
we want now Is not the credit but the collection of the
facts in a connected way.
After going over the suggestions originally made by
Tho Georgian, Dr. Stirling offers this Interesting Informa
tion, and comment;
"In relation to all these questions and others
there exists a wealth of evidence which It is hardly
scientific to Ignore. There are for Instanco the ef
fects of New Zealand's laws upon the Mnorls, who
aro represented In parliament, not according to their
numerical population, hut according tp other prin
ciples; there nre the advancing negro races of FIJI;
there Is tho recent government Investigation In
South Africa upon the relations of the white nnd the
colored populations; there are conditions in Jamaica,
where assault upon a white woman by a negro Is
unknown, although opportunity Is greater than here;
there Is tho complete safety which ladles experi
enced here before and their almost complete secu
rity during the war; there are the conditions which
exist in Liberia and also in San Domingo; an dthero
are spots scattered all over the warmer parts of the
world from which Information might be gathered and
which would doubtless be glad to hear from us In re
turn. In none of these are conditions precisely the
same as here; but allowing for all that there remains
sufficient similarity to make It possible that scientific
comparison would well jutjlfy the trouble. The mere
fact that such nn Inquiry was afloat nnd was work
ing with the calm, unlmpassloned methods of scien
tific investigation, would have a beneficial effect upon
both races, while Its conclusions would doubtless be
listened to with respectful attention and would have
the result of settling at least some disputes at the
same time that It certainly did not lower the charac
ter of our polemics."
It only needs now some organized interest In the
mattlr. If the Sociological Society cannot take hold. It
might at least start the machinery and set the movement
astir.
fronton. Mo., Oct. 24.—Pleading that
he wished some books and papers from
his trunk, J. Ralph Burton, former
United States senator from Kansas,
was permitted hy Sheriff Marshall to
take a brief respite yesterday almost
at the outset of his six months' term.
He walked to his wife's boarding house
and back to the Iron county jail.
Aa Burton reached the street he saw
his wife and little niece Juat returning
from a drive. They accompanied him
to the home of Dr. Smith, where Mrs.
Burton Intends to board. After a short
stay he returned to the jail.
Burton's first day aa a Federal pris
oner was lightened by visits from his
wife, who brought meals she had pre
pared. They were of a delicacy and
abundance which contrasted strongly
with the meals of other prisoners.
A separate cell soon )vlM be given the
former senator, who now has to share
his quarters with James Wise, a con
victed postoffice embezzler.
Burton Intends to do much writing
while In Jail. When released he In
tends to return to his home In Abilene
and renume his law practice. Burton
took to his cell with him the Bible he
read on the train nearly all the 1
from 8t. Louis.

L ELECTION Of
TRANSPORTATION CLUB
ON TUESDAY, NOV, 25
THE MOCKING BIRO—And now comes The
Mocking Bird, "A Magszine of Aspiration,” pub
lished at -Vewnan, with Percy Wiggle as editor and
maanger, and Mlgnon Hall as associate editor.
And The Mocking Bird Is a very bright and at
tractive publication. It Is well printed, and Its mat
ter Is well written. There Is evidence of great
carnestnoas, of poetic faith and hope In The Mocking
Bird. It Is easy to see that It pulses upon each page
Its name—'Aspiration."
Mr. Wiggle har. been connected with newspaper
work for some time In Xewnan. and If Indefatigable
Industry and high purpose joined to earnest and tal
ented endeavor will make a success, we feel sure
that The Mocking Bird will deserve and should re
ceive II
On Monday evening, November 5, the
annual meeting, barbecue lunch and'
smoker of the Transportation Club of
Atlanta will be held In the club rooms.
At this time officers will submit their
annual reports, changes In the consti

TWO CADETSHIPS OPEN
FROM FIFTH DISTRICT
Vacancies existing both at West
Point and Annapolis from the Fifth
congressltffial district, an examination
for both places will be held at tho
Boys' High School building In this city
on January 12 by Major Slaton and his
assistants.
A few days ago Midshipman Cart
Pickett, of Atlanta, was compelled to
resign hla post on account of impaired
eyesight. He had only one more year
at the academy, and It Is unfortunate
that he had to give up with the covet
ed goal so near>
All applicants for the naval or mili
tary academy should notify Major Sla
ton of their Intention to take the ex
aminations. It Is necessary to take
the physical examination before a Uni
ted States surgeon at Fort McPherson.
The following Is the address of
President A. G. Brunaman, of the Car
riage Builders' National Association,
delivered at the opening session at
Piedmont park Tuesday morning:
We are assembled here this morn
ing In thirty-fourth annual conven
tion.
Our position 1* unique and different
from previous sessions In the fact that
we meet as a body for the first time
south of the Ohio river, In the land of
Dixie.
Our meeting Is further somewhat dif
ferent than those held previously In
the fact that we meet at a time and
place with two kindred associations—
one of them a wagon association, which
Is certainly a vehicle and an Impor
tant one. The other, a vehicle associa
tion which we trust has grown suffi
ciently to ascend to the heights of
becoming part of our national body,
I win not take your time this morn
ing by going Into the details of our
past history—that we are thirty-four
years old, alive and hustling Is self-
evident: that we are & worthy Insti
tution and must have accomplished a
purpose for which we were born—these
are days of changing conditions, and
had our charter members (some of
whom we have the pleasure of having
with us. but many of whom have gone
to the great beyond or dropped out of
the aggressive procession) foreseen the
conditions of today, they probably
would have palled In their undertak
ing.
As an association, changes have been
made froth time to time to meet con
ditions, and we as an association stand
ready to change again and again ac
cording to the demands of the times
or new arising conditions.
Not a Monopoly.
We are not a monopoly or combina
tion; we can not and do not presume
to dictate to our members method or
manner of operating their pjants or
disposing of their product, but we do
stand for social and business harmo
ny, protection on common grounds such
as freight, legislation and other mat
ters which will be discussed In conven
tion later.
We could no doiibt extend the field
nnd benefit our Industry by the Intro
duction of by-laws that would enable
the calling of special meetings, should
occasion or demands of the Industry
require It. *
We, the carriage manufacturers,
stand for the best Interests of the
carriage trade, without menace to our
brother on one side—the accessory ma
terial man—and on the other side
the dealer or distributor.
We stand for advanced utilities, bet
terment of labor and manufacturing
conditions; In fact, for an enlightened,
up-to-date Industry and modern meth
ods.
As an association, we can listen to,
suggest and advise our members.
We can bring them together for har
mony and business, we can place be
fore them every opportunity that trade
conditions demand. Beyond this they
must act as Individuals.
Neither the manufacturer of the fin
ished vehicle nor the producer of ac
cessory parts has had a rosy path;
looking back a few years you will find
the "course" strewn with much wreck
age. •
Conditions Are Bettering.
The accessory trades seem to be bet.
terlng their condition to some extent,
but the vehlclo maker ■ remains pretty
much In the same rut. He at this time
faceB enormous advances In cost of
production, higher-priced material and
naturally with general prosperity high
er paid labor.
He has been providing against these
conditions for several years by adding
a few acres of floor space to his fac
tory, Increasing his output, doing all
he could to avoid the ''rocks'' In sight,
with the prospects of Anally striking
destruction on the "reefs" of over
production.
During our meetings your attention
will be brought to many matters of
Importance—the report of Mr. Wilson,
able chairman of the executive commit,
tee.
Report and occasionally a few words
from our modest secretary and treas
urer.
A discussion of the hardwood condi
tions by special committees.
Hardwood Getting 8carce.
This feature of our business Is
somewhat alarming.
I have been told that according to
carefully compiled statistic^, that at
the present rate of consumption the
entire available supply of nardwood
lumber will be exhausted In less than
30 years..
This probably will not affect you or
me to any great extent, except that
prices will keep soaring higher and
higher, but we must provide today for
conditions 34 years hence, as our pred
ecessors provided for us 34 years ago,
A report of our good roads commit
tee. In fact, a general discussion on
these lines—a discussion that Is of In
terest to every man arvl woman here
present, a subject that Is the malnte
nance of our Industry.
The Improvement,of roads, I am glad
to eee, has been advancing with won
derful strides during the past live years.
Should It continue proportionately, tho
vehicle Industry will.soon have no spe
cial season except In the extreme
North—good roads will enable the use
of the buggy, rain or shine, winter or
summer.
Automobiles have come probably to
stay. They are at least a harbinger
of good roads. As to their competi
tion and effect on our Industry, I will
waive any opinion I may have and
later we will listen to an address on
the subject of automobiles by one of
our members.
Freight and Classification.—This is
a very Important fnetor. It has been
handled by our association in the past
and must now because of enactment of
new laws, receive more attention than
ever before.
The value of this branch isgbeyond
estimate.
Today while you are gathered here
for business nnd pleasure there Is a
gathering of representative railroad
men at one of our large cities, con
sidering the matter of vehicle clasal
fleaflon.
The C. B. N. A. Is represented there
by apjmlnted members and by our
own men thoroughly versed or. rail-
road matters.
Many pages of argument and data
for exhibit have been prepared, in fact,
a work Is going on that only large as
sociations like ours can consistently
make effective.
You are not worrying about this
meeting—why should you? It Is be
ing cared for by the sinews you have
provided.
The Technical School.
Our Technical School.—Only those
who represent you on the executive
committee realize the care given to this
branch of our association. The trus
tees can tell you best all about It, and,
gentlemen, I do hope that some day
or some time we can provide for this
school so that It will be the pride of
our Industry and a place for us to se
cure our future assistants.
It Is to be hoped that a live Car
negie will develop amongst us—If not,
then that a few philanthropists, desir
ing to perpetuate their good deeds, will
In departing leave behind them sub
stantial mementos to be employed In
Inoculating through this technical
school designs and economics that are
ever necessary.
There are other committees—all Im
portant, their reports are of. Interest
to our trade and I earnestly ask the
members to be on hand sharply at 10
a. m. during the few days we are to-
pother. A large attendance Is necessary
to accomplish much good.
Let us have a full free discussion on
all matters. I assure you all a fair
Held and no favorites. _ .
I have talked quite enough. There
are others to be heard from and It Is
not my wish or desire to extend this
meeting to a point of Its being tire
some to you.
As to the Exhibits.
Before concluding I must say a word
about our accessory exhibits—tho en
tertainment committee here has en
deavored to hove their entertainments
at such times not Interfering with bust
ness.
Many houses are represented by their
chief executives and all by able repre.
sentatlves.
I am sure you will be glad to meet
them and they to meet you.
The variety of material, novelties,
etc., are for your tqspectlon at ma
chinery hall at the fair grounds.
Ladles and gentlemen, I thank you
for your presence here, especially do ]
thank the ladles, and may their num
ber be greater at each convention.
I GOSSIP
BY CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER.
New York, Oct. Mr-Presldent and
Mrs. Roosevelt have resumed their dal.
ly horseback riding. I learn from Wash.
Ington, and If the spectatdrs who rally
near the white house grounds to see
them depart can be trusted, the cos.
tumes of the horse-loving couple are
a bit odd.
The rides take place In the after-
noon now and the Interested spectators
marvel at the curious costumes for
driving. They wear their riding suits
*nd, as usual, are driven to the sub-’
urbs, where their horses await them
preparatory to a long cross-country
ride. Mrs. Roosevelt wore a small
white sailor hat, covered by a veil,
and a close-fitting black habit, with
natty tan colored boots. 10
Today's New York mystery Is John
D. Rockefeller. Why la he back m
aoon?
He left suddenly for Cleveland less
than a week agp, and Is now back at
Tarrytown. When he reached home
hja only companion was his valet. The
object of hla quick trip to Cleveland it
unknown.
Margaret Anglin, the actress, In the
United States circuit court, told of
Injuries she suffered In a railway ac-
cldent. Miss Anglin asks 3(0,000 dam
ages from the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad.
She told how she had driven a pair
of ponies • under a viaduct and had
been thrown out, breaking a Collar
bone and otherwise Injuring herself
The company’s lawyer asked her about
the distance of her horses* noses from
the engine.
Miss Anglin pursed her lips, thought
a second and repllsd:
"The distance Is the distance from
the steps to the railway, minus the
distance between the horses' notes and
the engine."
"Exactly." replied the lawyer
scratching his head,' trying to figure
It out. Both the court and the Jury
laughed, but the question was not re
peated.
Secretary Loeb Is back on the job
again. He has been enjoying a vaca
tion In Montana, and resumed his du
ties at his desk In the white house
office building yesterday. Assistant
Secretary Foster, who had been acting
during the secretary's absence, return,
ed to his old desk, formerly occupied
by Assistant Secretary Barnes, recent
ly made postmaster ■ at Washington,
and Assistant Secretary Latta. who oc.
cupled Mr. Forster’s chair during the
summer, went back to his desk In the
adjoining office to preside ovsr the staff
of stensgraphera and executive clerks.
Miss Mary Hall, who plays Eleaner
Guthrie In "The Measure of a Man,’’
Is a Kansas City girl, the daughter o|
Judge White, prominent for years In
Judicial circles In Missouri. Her moth,
or was a member of the 'LaSalle fami
ly. who were among the flrat French
settlers, and owned much land along
the Missouri river.. Miss Hall's moth
er was a noted beauty In the enrlv
days of Kansas City, and it Is from
her that Miss Hall Inherits her dark
eyes and black hair.
