WHY HAVEN'T THE PEOPLE BEEN ALLOWED
TO VOTE ON THIS?
The question of the abolition of the fee ey.tem fur paying certain coun
ty officials, such as the sheriff, the ordinary, tho clerk of the court and the
solicitors or prosecuting attorneys, Is so one-sided that debate Is‘useless.
There Is no argument, except against the system.
Tet the plan has remained In vogue In Georgia alnce the beginning of
county organisation, and will remain until the tax payers awaken and real
ize that by not abolishing It they are robbing themselves.
The county of Fulton has been giving away from MO,000 to $75,000 a
year by maintaining the system. As Atlanta grows this criminal gratuity
will Increase urtMl It reaches enormous proportions.
The grand Jury, In Its presentments, makes tho charge that during re
cent years the county executive committees have declined <o Submit to the
people the question of abolishing the fee system.
Why has the county executive committee failed to submit this question?
Is it. that the putative "court house ring" (of which there has been gos
sip) really exists and has had Influence with the county executive commit
ted? _
The time for action has not yet arrived. » i '
But The Georgian makes tills promise to the tax payers:
The Georgian Intends to see If It cinnot force the county executive com.
mtttee to put this question to the people for vote.
The days of the fee system are numbered.

The Hunting Season.
Tltls Is the season when the English,
map would say, "It's a lovely day; let's
go out and kill something."
The first of November marks a great
many periods, but It Impresses Itself on
, the greatest number of minds, perhaps,
as being the beginning of the open spa-
son, when th* drumming of the quail
In the towground Is an Invitation to the
eager hunter and fils equally eager
dog. !
Horse rating may he the sport of
kings, but to follow the big dog with
gun and bag over the fallow fields,
dotted with bare persimmon trees, and
down Into the hollow* where the quail
lovt to feed, Is essentially the gport of
the average gentleman.
The busy man who for months has
been poring over desks and ledgers,
glancing, at the calendar to see when
a note or account Is due. Involuntarily
■quint* toward the flat of November.
It is not printed In red. True, It Is
AlwBatots day, and as such occupies a
conspicuous position among the festl
vala of the church.
But It has no ecclesiastical jjgnlfl
canoe for that man of tho ledger who
Is ‘like a hound that hunts In dreams."
Acro**-the columns pf multiplied fig
ures qjt visions of the day when the
air Is^rlsp and the skies are clear and
tbe blood goes tingling through the
yuan at thought of a day's sport In the
open fields. In the excitement of tlia
chase lies not only the .pleasure which
sportsmen alone can know, but the
glow of health which lingers when
the outing Is over and the hum of the
city, with Imperious Insistence de
tnsnds that the Nimrod must become
tbe simple city gentleman once again.
The man who does not love a dog Is
unfit for companionship with his tel*
low-man. and there ts no time nor sea
son when the association between the
maawr and the humblo exponent of
fidelity becomes more close. The lap
dog at the fire, that spotted
nament, the coach dog, the toy
terrier and the pug become con
temptible and we watch the shaggy
'better, with hie keen nose to the
ground, or the pointer, with uplifted
foot, trained to almost human Intelli
gence not to flush the covey and yet
to Indicate their location, with unerring
precision. The ties that bind the hunt
er add his dog are of that sacred and
subtle texture which only companion-
ehlp In solitude can knit.
Kyery hunter l£ like the Homeric
hero and bis every devoted Held dog a
faithful Argos.
The gourmet will delight to find that
the menu for several Inonth* hence win
contain quail on /toast. Perhaps as
"young owl," the same delicacy may
figure tbsre far Into the closed season.
Bnt no epicure beneath the sun will
ever have the keen enjoyment of the
hunter who goes out this morning. In
the November fields, to bring down
the bird which furnished forth his
feast.
British News Accuracy.
A copy of Tbe Blrmlnghatj) (Eng

liss Just reached our desk. In It we
mid a rather wild and woolly account
uf what la termed the “American Negro
Pogrom,” In which appears the follow

••An apoetle of lynching, John Temple

Atlanta and the state of Georgia by

Lave been twisted.
NO BEPLY FROM PRESIDENT JORDAN.
The Hon. Harris Jordan has again spoken, and once again he has in
bis speech Ignored the charges made against him by the Hon.’ C, S. Bar
rett, president of the National Farmers' Union.
The reply of the president of the Southern Cotton Association Is
an attack on The Atlanta Constitution. It Is not the purpose of Tho
Georgian to fly to the assistance of The Constitution. The Constitution Is
doubtless able to fight Its own battles.
Nor Is U the purpose of The Georgian to engage In petit or grand per
secution of the Hon. Harvle Jordan or the Southern Cotton Association.
But The Georgian must again ask the Hon. Harvle Jordan to make
some reply to tho allegations against him by the president of the National
Farmers' Union.'
These allegations wero serious In nature.
Ujriest disproved, they will do great Injury to the Southern Cotton As
sociation and Its cause.
And unless they are answered by the Hon. Harvle Jordon they will, In
the minds of thousands uf people, eland Justified by silence.
Mr. Jordan should realise that he t^oubl be but doing his duty to the
organization he heads by making answer to the allegation that he hail
1 formed an unholy and notorious alliance of Joe Hoadley, a Wall street
< gambler.
The only reply President Jordan made to President Barrett was:
"You're another."
The only reply Preeldent' Jordan made to The Constitution was:
"You’re another.”
Tu quoque arguments convince nobody, and the farmer* of the 8outh are
looking to President Jordan to answer fully, completely and satisfactorily
the charges against him.
If he does not, he will become a burden that will exhaust the Southern
Cotton Association and render It useless.
The Ban on Obesity Pills.
Every roan will commend so much of
that paternalism Jn the United States
government which seeks to protect the
general public against the various and
variegated frauds which walk In dark
ness and destroy at noonday.
On* of tbs most popular (anna of
these frauds consists of patent mcdl
cljteo - which are ."guaranteed" to cure
everything-' from housemaid's knee to
the Itch for office. They are embln-
xoned In flaming ndvertlaements on ev
ery blank epace from the slant roof of
a country bam to the bald summit of
Pike's Peak: they constitute the chief
source of revenue to such newspapers
will take them, which Is by far the
great majority.
If republics are ungrateful, the peo
ple should at least be grateful to the
republic which, through the medium of
the United States mall, sees to save
them from these medicated lies, as
well as from themselves.
And a happy Instartce has Just come
to light,
Postmaster General Cortelyou, who
Is no longer busy counting the money
tn the Republican contribution box,
has Issued a fraud order against ohe-
slty pills—at least those of a certain
brand Issued from Washington Itself.
There are a great many considera
tions why this course Is wise and Just,
In the first place, why should any one
object to being fat? Were ^hey not
the kind of people whom great Caesar
admired—the big, hearty fellows, such
slept o’ nights? The lean and hun
gry Cassius was constitutionally an
enemy to the state.
We know In our own experience that
the fat men and women are the good-
natured ones. Did any boy ever have
a grandmother, who fed him on sur
reptitious pies, who was not fat? Both
men and women, it Is the fat ones who
Indulge In perpetual good nature and In
hearty laughter, holding both their
Blflee.
But If they must reduce their flesh
there are so many better means than
by employing obesity pills. Exercise
Is one of tbe most approved forms of
accomplishing this end. If it Is a man,
he might run for office. We know of
no kind of sprinting which Is better
calculated to deprive a man of fieelt,
conscience and self esteem. It he
weighed In at a ton he would come out
In the featherweight class.'
No obesity pills for him.
Perhaps a better, and certainly a
more honorable method still would be
to plow and hoe, to reap and to sow,
like the farmer's boy In the song. He
would be yielding something to the
general store, while substituting muscle
for fatly degeneration. When they be
come more of a producer and less of
a consumer they naturally would not
be so fut.
They might take an ax and imitate
the Immortal example of the Grand Old
Man by chopping down trees. It Is u
useful and an exhilarating occupation.
which two blades of grass may grow
where but one grew before.
In short, there are a hundred natural
methods by which obesity may be re
duced, aside from obesity pills—which
In fact don't reduce at all.
We are grateful to Mr. Cortelyou, He
has done a great many things to com
mend him tq our admiration, but noth
ing which appeals to us more strongly
than that he has barred advertisements
of obesity pills from the malls.
excuse Is offered, sometimes another.
The reasons advanced dqn't matter so
much since th6 annual effect Is the
same—a practical doubling of summer
prices.
This year the burden has come ear
lier than usual. ' La$t winter It was
much later before the maximum of
$5.50 for grate coal was fixed. If the
game has started this early, consumers
may expect further advances when
winter gets down to business.
Dealers advance a combination of
reasons for this raise. One ts that the
Southern railway Is bringing little coal
Into the city and congestion of traffic
on alt lines has served to add dlfficul
ties to the dealers' getting their coal
Into the yards. Another reason ad
vanced Is scarcity of labor, both at the
mines and locally,
Ths local labor problem serves as a
reason for advancing charges for stor
ing coal In the bins of purchasers ft'om
25 to 59 cents a ton. Signs of further
advances are apparent In the statement
that unless there Is Immediate relief in
the labor problem at the mines, pro
ducers will have to raise prices again.
That means the consumers pay finally.
The small percentage of people able
to buy the winter's supply of coal In
summer at $4 to $4.60 a ton can afford
to look on the situation complacently,
but to the masses who must buy a ton,
a half ton, a quarter of a ton at a time,
the burden falls heavily.
Probably the producer, the railroads
and the dealers can all Justify them
selves, but the suspicion will linger
that the regularity with which these
boostings of coal prices come hang as
easily on one plausible excuse aa an
other.

SAM SHUBER7, WAS WORTH
$25,000 TO HIS PARENTS
New York, Nov. 2.—A verdict of $23,- year before his death, having sent home
000 damages for the death of Sam S.
Bhubert, the theatrical manager, was
returned against the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company by a Jury In tho
United States circuit court before
Judge Holt. The plaintiffs were Da
vid and Catherine Shubert, parents of
the dead man. It Is understood that a
new trial will be asked.
The damages asked for were $100,-
000. The railroad company admitted
Its neglect and liability for Shubert's
death. The only question to be deter
mined was the pecuniary damage suf
fered by his parents. It was brought
out that Shpbert had made $98,000 the
Publicity in Divorce.
Of more than ordinary Interest at the
moment when tho heuds of the police
department are threatening to censor
police news comes the report of the
committee on resolutions of tho Inter
state Association for Promoting Uni
form Divorce Laws.
This report Is a draft of a statute
which trill be submitted to the conven
tion of the association In Philadelphia
next month. If approved, the assocla
tlon will endeavor to have the statute
prevail throughout the United States.
One of the most Important features
of the proposed statute Is that
hearings and trials shall be before tho
court (as distinguished from a referee)
and shall in all easts bt public.” This
Is to prevail even If the petition for dl.
vorce be opposed or not.
In short, the crusaders seeking to Im
prove a social evil look upon the se
curing of absolute publicity of divorce
proceedings as one of,the greateet re
forms to be accomplished.
There are objections to publicity In
such cases. Often Innocent parties to
a divorce suit are brought Into a no
toriety that Is painful. And not In
frequently newspapers which roll scan
dals on their tongues as delicious mor
sels work against the moral welfare of
a community by sensational Ytnd sala
cious reports.
But complete publicity divorce
proceedings will have the tendency to
.prevent attempts at hideous frauds and
perversions of the law. Collusive suits
and Ihe chlcunery of corruption which
arc not obvious In the written deposi
tions taken before a referee are likely
to be laid bare In the light of open
court proceedings.
Those earnest and Intelligent men
and women who are fighting to right
existing wrongs look upon publicity as
their chlefest battle to be won.
MATTHEW CALBRAITH PERRY.
One of America's darling names Is
that of Oliver Hazard Terry, "Hero of
Lake Erie." '
Btlt a very mucli bigger man In every
war was Oliver’s brother, Matthew
Culbrnith Perry, of whom tlic world
has learned but little, und to whose
wonderful exploit, the rank and file
of the American people seen: to be
blissfully Indifferent.
Matthew I'nlbralth Perry, brother of
the man who so gloriously ticked the
British on Lake Erie, was born April
10, 1794. at Newport, R. I.
On the paternal sldo he came of
Devonshire stock, and on the mRtemai
of the Scotch-lrish blood, which has
contributed so much to the glory and
honor of our republic.
From March, 1809, when at the age
of 15 he began Ills first cruise as tnld-
shlpment aboard tho Revenger, down
to his death In New York In March,
1858, Perry's record was noted for his
faithfulness to duty and devotion to
country.
Here are some of the things that
Perry has written down to Ids credit:
1. While yet n mere lad he was nn
efficient naval officer In tho war of
1812.
2. He chose the location of the first
free black settlement In Liberia.
3. He was the father of our steam
navy.
4. He first demonstrated the effi
ciency of the ram aa a weapon of of
fense in naval warfare.
5. He founded the naval apprentice
$11,500 each year tor the support of
his father and mother for several years
prior.
The testimony detailed the business
life of Sam Shubert, with Ids rise
from a newsboy to a manager, with
twenjy theaters and twelve shows.
He was on the train that ran Into
freight at Harrisburg. Pa.. May 10; was
taken from Ids Pullman berth, badly
mangled, and died trom Ida wounds In
a hospital the next day.
David Belaseo testified that Shubert
was a genius, not only In business
acument, but In dramatic Judgment and
taste and In his general knowledge of
both the artistic and the commercial
side of theaters.

Middletown, N. Y.. Nov. 2.—The sur.
geons 111 the Slate Hospital for 111e In-
sane Jiere are Immensely Interested In
the case of Edward Green, of Monroe.
The young man was re-admitted to the
hospltul recently and the surgeons
found he was suffering from appen
dicitis. They operated on him and were
astounded at their discovery.
Green’s vermiform appendix was
greatly Inflamed. Within Its pouch
was an Iron boll, five Inches long, with
a head commensurate with Its length.
The Inflammation had spread and It Is
doubtful if the operation will save
Green's life.
He has a mania for swallowing small
metal articles.
WIDOW OF RUSSELL SAGE

New York, Nov. 2.—Mrs. Russell
Sage has doubled the salaries of the
clerks employed In the late Russell
Sage's office In the Bank of Commerce
building. The Increase affected five
clerks, nono of whom was mentioned in
Mr. Sage's will. Each of the clerks
will receive his customary salary, and,
In addition, an equal amount from Mrs.
Sage Individually.
The increase does not affect W. 8.

PURSUIT OF PLEASURE
AND ITS SELFISHNESS
Cold Gomel—Coal Rises.
Every home In Atlanta will have
forcibly brought to mind the effects of
the scarcity of labor today, when the
price of coal Is raised at one stroke
one dollar a ton.
That Is something that directly oon-
•erns every home In the city. It falls
especially hard upon the poor that
must buy Its fuel In smull lots. They
will pay not $6.50 n ton. but :u the
rate of $8 or $9.

boosting of prices. Until cold weather

the extirpation of tho foreign slave
trade on tho const of Africa.
7. He did ns much ns any other man
toward deckling the result of the Mex
ican war.
8. He crowned his grand life work by
opening Japan to the world, which fact
alone, In the light ot recent events, Is
enough to make him one of the most
Illustrious of the sons of men.
sample of the man's make-up
we have but to refer to an Incident of
the siege of Vera Cruz.
The siege promised to be a long one,
and In his despair General Scott called
on Commodore Perry, then in com
mand of our fleet In the Gulf of Mexico,
to lend him a set of heavy naval guns
with which to knock down the city
walls. With the request came the Inti
mation that the guns would be manned
by Scott’s own artillerists.
To the request Perry sent the laconic
reply: "Certainly, general, but I must
fight them."
And he did fight them—with such
effect that In a very little while
breach was tnudo In the wall wide
enough for tho American army to
march through to glorious victory.
And yet when General Scott cnine to
write his autobiography he did not'so
much as refer to the naval battery nor
mention the name of Commodore
Perry.
Such Is the dependence that Is to be
put upon history!
But It was not until after Porry'i
splendid service In the Mexican wm
that he began to make ready for the
grandest work of his life.
While living at Tarrylown, X. Y„
after his return front the land uf the
Montcxumas, Perry did a great deal of
thinking about Japan ami its senseless
Isolation.
He tried to Interest Daniel Webster
In his darling Idea with regard to Jit
pan, hut, as secretary of state, Webster
was too busy to pay much attention to

But Perry, nothing discouraged by
Websier's Indifference, kept at Ills
project, until finally he found himself
at the head ,of an exiiedltlon for the
Island Empire.
Beaching Japan In the year 1853,
Perry delivered to the reigning authori
ties a letter from the president of the
United States expressing the good
wishes of this country toward Japan
and our ardent desire to render that

our command.

(Copyright, 1906, by Amerlcan-Jour-
nat-Exumlner.)
Nothing can bring less happiness
than the ceaseless pursuit of pleasure,
and yet one Is constantly confronted
by Individuals whose sole aim In lire
Is the gratification of their own wishes.
They do nothing that does not promise
realization of the desires of their sel
fish natures.
Some take Infinite pleasure In amass.
Ing fortunes; their possessions con
sume their affections and their
thoughts, and they become recluses
from society lest they may be called
upon to bear some of Its burdens,
others devote all their time to Indul
gence In eating and drinking In vain
attempts to be happy. Many more
Imagine that pleasure Is to be found
In participation In all manner of
amusements and diversions from the
serious things of life. They lose sight
of the fact that the frivolous anti gay
have no such thing as real pleasure to
distribute: momentary delight Is all
that actors In the lighter roles can
promise.
It Is only a question of time when
the pleasure-seeker becomes satiated
with the fruits of his mean ambitions.
Rarest wines, the most delicate*of
viands, lose their flavor. The glare of
footlights hurts tho eye. The ribaldry
of boon companions soon begins to Ir
ritate. If not Infuriate, overwrought
passions. The soulless creatures who
for a while engrossed their fancies
become Ihe "bete noire" of their exist
ence; Jealousy nnd ofltlmes murder
ending thetr Illicit entanglements,
though they may have been legalised
by a marriage ceremony.
Profligacy pnd dissipation bear but
one kind of fruit—wretchedness and
desperation. No physical constitution
can long endure the ravages of a reck
less life, nor can any mind, however
brilliant ami vigorous, withstand the
excitement that Invariably attends a
life of Immorality.
God never intended that hi* creatures
should live for themselves alone: It Is
expected that our God-given gifts
should be employed In some noble way
for the uplifting of mankind and the
betterment of the world: hence it Is
written. "He that soweth iniquity shall
reap vanity, and with the rod of his
anger he shall be consumed,"—Prov
erbs 20:8, And, again, "They that
plow Iniquity and sow wickedness reap
the same."—Job 4:8. Nothing Is more
dearly set forth In the Book ef Books
than that every human being ts re
sponsible for the talents he hath.
The saddest reflection upon such
misspent lives Is the fact that there Is
not one of this class who has not some
one who Is attached to him by the ties
of nature and who suffers all tho agon
ies of outraged r.aturo on account of
the follies and recklessness of the self-
indulgent pursuer of what ts misnamed
pleasure.
It would be folly to undertake to ac
count for the perversity of human na
ture. There Is no theory upon which
one can explain the Innate depravity of
the well-born who abandon all pretense
of self-respect and decency and de
scend to the level of the lowest, most
Ignorant, bestial and Irresponsible of
beings, and with perfect abandon fol
low their vicious* Instincts until, by
tragedy or accident, their careers are
ended. Who besides themselves are re
sponsible for such travesties on the hu
man species?
I have sometimes thought that there
was more work for missionaries In the
home field than could ever be done. If
persons In this enlightened country
could be Induced to abandon their
wanton, selfish habits anil to lead a
moral, rational. If not righteous life. It
would contribute far more to the sal
vation of the world than can ever
be accomplished by trying to convert
the heathen In foreign lands.
TO SERVE LIFE SENTENCE
FOR SMOTHERING CHILD.
Special to The Georglsn.
Jacson, Miss., Nov. 2.—The first
white woman to be sent to the peniten
tiary In the past five years Is Mrs.
Stewart, fihe gets a life term for hav
ing murdered her child by smothering,
ft.
Up to two years ago there was a
white woman In the penitentiary for
the same offense, Mrs. Mary Wilkin
son, from Pie county, but she served
about seven years and waa pardoned.
The prison board has received notice of
the conviction of Mrs. Stewart. She
will be the only white woman In the
penitentiary and things will be mighty
lonesome for her. It Is probable that
she will be put on one of the prison
farms, probably In the hospital at Oak
ley.

• THANKS THE GEORGIAN.
To the Editor of The Georgian.
I sin*■»rely thank you (or your edi
torial in yesterday's Georgian. "Danger
in Mrs. Dickson's Plan." I think cuun-
1-1101*01 understand pretty well that
their vote* on everything relating to
the extension of the saloon limits are
being carefully checked up by those
who vote for councllmen. Beer amid
the blooming flowers, which Mrs. Dick
son promises her patrons, looks Inno
cent enough, but the fruits are not dif
ferent from those establishments with
less euphonious names.
I thank God for one paper which I*
nut afraid to say the right thing on
mutter.* of this sort. Sincerely,
A. II. CALDWELL.
