We cordially commend this expres
sion from Augusta to tbe other twelve
Georgia municipalities who occupy a
place upon this roll of honor, and we
add to our cordial congratulations to
Mr. Mitchell upon his tact and skill
the most cordial good wishes for Its
complete success.
Sueceu to the Cotton Growers
Meetings
With all heartiness we urge upon
the farmers and business men of
Georgia to come out In ftill and at
tentive numbers to tbo public meet
ings which Messrs. Johnson and Jor
dan and Smith, of the Southern Cot
ton Association are about to hold In
different cities of tbe state.
Whatever The Georgian's views of
tlio best policy for tbe Southern cot
ton growers to follow, wo do not hes
itate to (observe them to the views
which the majority of those who
have a right to rulo may adopt, and
to lend our co-operation to any effort
that they may make for succoes.
One thing absolutely certain la tbat
<be Southern Cotton Association has
■lone past service to the South, and
i hit Its past services are as nothing
ns compared to the greit good It can
do In tbe future If it can pull Itself to
gether, reorganise on good lines,
adopt good and wise policies, and
make a united and harmonious effort
for success.
It la barely possible that In the se
ries of these meetings, and In the ex
pressions which farmers may make
at them, that thta general will may be
approximately neared If It is not at
tained.
Wo sincerely truat that lbs farmer*
will attend theee meetings with an
open mind, that with a fearless
•peecb they will aak questions, tbat
they will present their views and will
lmpreis their Ideas of the public poli
cy of the association without hesita
tion and without fear. It Is not only
'lulr right to do this, but It la tbe
duty of tbe Georgia farmer who has
Intelligence and opinions to express
them for the general good.
As a result of them all we sincerely
trust tbat the association may bo
strengthened and Its life and health
renewed.
Our Jamestown Commissioner.
The friends of tbs Jamestown Expo-
ai'lon arc Indeed to bo congratulated
upon tbo energy and the tact with
which their Interests arc upheld by
President W. X. Mitchell in Georgia,
Mr. Mitchell Is devoting himself
With great vigor and with unusual
ingenuity and skill to the work of
making Georgia's appearance beaut!
ful and noble at tbo Virginia Inter
national fair.
Mi. Mitchi-lL'a appearance In Augus
ta on Tuesday teems to have been
particularly pleasing to that gracious
and chlvalric city.
Tbo problem of providing a building
f"r Georgia' at Jamestown la one
which baa rested rather heavily upou
the shoulders of the commission. The
appropriation of $30,000 by tbe state
tor It.
IM not provide foflt. How to obtain
i- was a question of no little pusxlc to
'tie friends of tbe Georgia building.
.Mr. .Mitchell's Idea of making the
Georgia building a duplicate of the
Roosevelt home at Roswell waa a hap-
by stroke, but even this did hot settle
question. Ur. Mitchell comee for-
waid to meet tbo present difficulty
with this suggestion: . There are
t wi Ive roomq Jn tbe Bullock mansion
which Ig to'be the Georgia building
a: Jamestown. Six downstair* and
six on the second floor. There are
also twelve cities and Urge .towns in
Georgia, and It Is Mr. Mitchell's Idea
i list each of these should build and
occupy one or these twelve .room*
with a separate exhibit of Its own.
These twelve cities are Atlanta. Sa

SATURDAY EVENING.
If only the sinless threw stones, there would be fewer bruised and
broken reputations In an erring but not all-wicked world.
The swpet blossoms of charity shine whiter upon the bowed bosom
of tbe penitent living, than upon tbe bleaching bones of tbe fast-forgotten
dead-
And It la better far to send out the life boat to one soul that has
slipped Its moorings In tempestqous seas, than to fill the galleys of Jus-
lice with convicted criminals, or to convoy a fleet of selfish ambitions to
triumphant port.
Lord, If In Thy providence of tbls later day, the Scribes and Phari
sees—hypocrites—would cease to hound the Publicans who staud afar
off and stretch out their bands In humility*to heaven!
A trace to platitudes: Let us find a story with a human being In It.
There If a fellow in our little world wbo has sinned against High
Ileaveo snd his home. Worse than tbat, In human standards, he has
been found out. Par waa tbe fall with him even as with Adam, and
perhaps from ttfe eating of tbe same forbidden fruit. A sin of’passion,
tbe subtlest and the sweetest that the devil la all bis raro old pharmacy
has mixed for mortals, swept him from the standards of his faith, and
flung him dated and staggering against the outraged conventions of so
ciety. High was hla station and lofty his repute when discovery found
him, and In a night be fell—fell llko the angels from heaven to helL'aud
as men say It, fell like Lucifer never to rise again. For In the wild clam
or of the gossips' tongues there was never the note of mercy.
The cause, the circumstance, tbe human weakness, the temptation,
tbe resistance, the surrender, tbe repentance—are all forgotten In the fall.
‘‘Crucify him!" cry the scandal-whetted mob. as they cried against a Just
Man once. “Crucify the sinner In clean clothes, and release unto us
some Barabbat of our robber band, who Is not repentant, and over whoso
agony we cannot gloat.”
The sinners Sanhedrim sit* upon hla sin. The high court of bis
church convenes to try him. Tbe sinner's confession saves the gift of ev
idence end the srgument df advocates In the case. Tho sentence waits
upon the court There la a hint of mercy. Tho sinner la young. Hla life
la all before him. His repeutanco has been so public, so contrite and so
clear. There are some who speak of David nud Uriah—of “that human
man after God’s own heart.” His example and hla history glow with guid
ance on the case. Shall David's (In and David's penitence meet with
Davld'e forgiveness both by God and man? Shalt tho sinner hare another
chance? The heart of tho Sanhedrim Is soft.
But stern voices plead for Justice and tho law. The majesty of
morals must be maintained. The standards of the creed mast be
avenged. Society must be protected. Above nil things we must purify
tbe organisation of the church. Tho ecclesiastic body must be vindi
cated.
And then a brave man with steady, clear, blue eye* stands up.
"May I ask. air,” said he, "If Joints Christ came Into the world to save
conventions and presbyteries, or to save a (Inner?''
Swift thundered the ceclaalaatlc Jn the role of prosecutor. ‘.‘Sir, did
you ever commit adultery?"
And with unflinching honesty, the clear blue'eyes, looking the priest
In the face, the Iflymap answered: ;
"A thousand times! I forbear to return the question!”
There was silence then, and a swift terror of introspection. The
layman was as clean as tbe priest In the overt act of living. There was
no shadow on hla life or loyalty. He had lived clean on tho surface all
hla days. But the layman was brave end honest. He knew the law In'
Ita depth and scope. He knew the law of the spirit He knew the ninth
commtndment below the tranquil Utter. He knew that tho red blood
within him had surged to the euggeetlon of a thousand charms exposed
by thoughtless or reokless women, and because tho layman was no hyp
ocrite. he knew that a thousand times he had committed adultery In
his heart! Because he was an honest man he knew this. Uecsuse he
was a brave man he said so. And because he was a true man, his con
sciousness and his courage gave him charity.
We have no carp at the priest In the case. He was honest. Yes,
and orthodox. He was safely on hla standards, and maybe he waa
right all through. Tho major world will say so, for tho major world has
said so all these years.
But the heart that Is In ue goes out to tbe layman In the story and
to the sinner at hla side. Tbe layman throw no stones because ho was
bravely conscious of bis own defect*.
Tbe layman ( kuew hla Lord and followed lfltn to the sinner's
aide, rather than to tbe institution made by men. The layman bad read
that Jesus Christ came Into the world to call ilnners and not the right-
eout to repentance, and he believed that fu heaven there was more joy
over one tinner that repentoth than over ninety and nine just men (In
presbytery or convention) who need no repentynce.
The Sanhedrim eat upon the tinner and sent him away. Maybe tbe
Sinners Sanhedrim could do no more. Tbe purity of tho church must
be maintained. It* discipline must be kept. It* standards mutt be held
high before tbe world, we know all that and respect It, too.
Bdt the layman—God bless him! Not being sinless, swept to the tin
ner's side. He let the presbytery and convention take care of itself, and
he went after tbe soul 9n need. He had no reproaches and he threw no
stones. He put his arm about the tinner's neck. He pointed hit re
pentance to a line of action, and he put hie elbow to the olbaw of his
fainting fellow, and la keeping step with him In tbe nbble march back
ward or forward, as you nante It, to a noble and a useful life.
And If ever in lengthening years the erring aoul of the strong sinner
comes baek Into tts own—If ever the brilliant life regains Ita hold for ser
vice and for b6nor—whose hand (hall we hall ai God's Instrument In re
deeming—the Sanhedrim's with Its preserving creeds and standards, or
that old human layman with hla brave, hand holding fast to the sinner
slipping from hla 'place?
Long ago oa a Judean morning the Scribes and Pharisees brought
unto the Master a woman taken In adultery, with the suggestion tbat she
should lie stoned. And they asked Him so. But Josus stooped down
and wrote with HI* finger on the ground as though He beard them not.
And when they continued asking of him and would not be denied, that In
finite Compassion lifted Himself and said:
“Him that (■ without tin among you. let him first cast a stone at
her!"
Then once more the Mister stooped and wrote upon the sand.
Silently and shamefacedly the Scribea and Pharisee! fell away one
by one and left tbe woman and her.Lord alone? And tnmlng to ber
ths discovered adulterness—Jesus said:
"Go and sin no morel”
So man knows what wonts the Savior wrote upon the ground. So
■aortal ever read the mesaage which the moving fingers of Omnipotent
tenderness were tracing In Judean eap.d. And no man ran ever know
the thoughts tender and deep tbat pulsed the greatest and the saddest
heart In all the world.
Gut the sinners of the unlvtrseea,i remember when at lelse is clean—
forgotten, tbat when the Master rose front that mysterious manuscript on
mother earih, he said softly to an erring woman:
‘ Go and sin no more.”
And the cruel gossips of the day; those mocking Pharisees—the men
«ho throw stones from glass houses at every fallen, fellow In tho ranks
h ' them remember the thrilling challenge with which the Lord of
Heaven halted their hypocrisy and rebuked the lurking persecution in
their fiouls.
How we might multiply the rescues and minify the losses In tbls
► ua life-battle. IT men and women only would remember that April morn
ing when tbe Son of God wrote with his Anger In Judean sand.
GOSSIP!
By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER..
THE LESSON OF GLENN AND TWO LAWYERS.
The value of Justice and a legal trial has rarely been better illustrat-
' n t e criminal annals of the South than In the case of the nogro Glenn,
ease on yesterday by a Jury of Judge Roan's court, after a trial for
rape. _
An excited and almost freazled woman, driven to desperation by the
avful treatment which she had received, Identified tho prisoner as her
assailant In the case. It was with great difficulty after this identifies-
i cn that he was spirited to the Jail. It was only upon the urgent effort
'■ the officials that he was prevented front being lynched by three mobs
gathered to Intercept him on his way to prison.
Suppose the law had been lax? Suppose the sheriff and his deputies
.ad been Indifferent? Glenn would have been lynched beyond tho shad
ow of a doubt,• and an Innocent man would have been murdered by the
citizens of tho county of Fulton. With his guilt or Innocence reduced
to the cold analysis of the law under capable attorneys, the man was
cleared, and the members of thooe several mobi who read this morn-
ng tho evidence and the Jury’s verdict, are probably hugging themselvos
with trembling satisfaction In that their wild thirst for vengeance .on
circumstantial evidence was thwarted by the law.
It Is Impossible not to commend tho courage, and fidelity to their
great profession Illustrated by Attdrneys Luther Rosser and Charles T.
Hopkins In this case. Of course It Is unimaginable that olther of these
men could have bad less than horror and repulsion for the criminal.
They did not accept the defenae upon a fee. but on the appointment of
the court, which Is In Itself a legal command and responsibility. They
assumed tho duty Imposed upon them by the tupreme officer of the law,
and having assumed their duty they did It clearly, bravely aud well. Be
ing charged by tbe mandate of the court to secure for the prisoner a fair
trial of his case, they did so wjth the courage and ability for which
they aro noted and the result Is vindicated In tho verdlot which has set
free an Innocent man and made It possible to apprehend and hang the
real criminal In the cate. •
Tho incident from beginning to end Is Important and ilgnlficant. It
will probably emphasise as nothing else has done the haste and danger
of the mob. It will do aa much and more than anything else baa done
to abolish hasty and frenxled lynching upon tbe Impulse of the hour and
upon any evidence less than absolute and conclusive.
And tho conduct of two eminent lawyers at the* bar In the fearleaa
discharge of their officially Imposed duties.will undoubtedly dignify the
profeseloa to which they belong and set a high standard of duty for the
future.
County Council Purposes to
Make oAnti-Trust
Fight.
By RICHARD ABERCORN.
London. Nov. 1?.—A great anti-trust
move is proposed by the London county
council, which. If It can obtain the con
sent of parliament. Is going tt> spend
J20,2(0,000 on a huge scheme for sup
