It Is Imnernttro that they he signed, ns an evldeneu of good faith, though the primes will lie withheld If does It print whisky or any liquor nils. and electric light plants, as It now owns Its waterworks. Other cities do this and get gas as low as GO cents, with a profit to the city. This should be done at once. The Georgian be- lleres that If street railways can ha operated successfully by European cities, as they are, there Is no good reason why they cannot he so operated here. But we do not hellere this can be done now. and It may be some years liefore we are ready for ao big an un dertaking. Still Atlanta should set Us face In tbit direction NOW. The Home of St. Elmo. It Is good to know that Mobile still retains that delicate sentiment, once so prevailing In the South, which prompts the preservation of the home of Augusta Evan. Wilson against the onward sweep of commercialism which Is Invading our provinciality. What though the forty-acre lot that once comprised the grounds of the home stead lie split up by the purchasing corporation and sold to nouveau* riches seeking the environment of a once literary atmosphere, still the old home, where wero written 8L Elmo, Macarla, Yashtl, lteulah Infellco, At the Mercy of Tiberius, and Inez will stand In all Its pristine glory of the antebellum days. In his suspicion, - born of distrust of the aforesaid sweep of commercial ism, one la inclined to the belief that the preservation of “Ashland" is mere ly a scheme to enhan'eo the Intrinsic ■•value of those other lots. But as to 'that, little signifies. It ts enough to know that “Ash land" Is to stand against the ruthless Invader, Progress. Rut, when you come to think of It, Augusta Evans Wilson needs no mon ument of stone or brass; needs no galjery of antiquities. Who baa not wept with Edna Karl; felt the most poignant of -grief* at the hopeless love of Mr. Manulng—that unbelievably kind editor (would there were some today like him!); trembled when the dark, dare-devil, demoniacal, yef darllngly-dear St. Elmo thundered, and loved hint when Edna found out the loved him, too (which one knew all the time); and mentally hissed at that blond adventuress (Ehen fau- gaces! one forgets her name)? And who, having done all those things, can ever forget the creator of such won derful people? Real people, they were—and are. Sot mere puppets, like the swagger ing travesties on manhood and wo manhood to lie found In the output of the Indiana School of Fiction. Real people they wore, though they did use marvelously classic diction, abounding In far-llung mythological references, quotations from Voltaire and Dante and Tasso and the Talmud and the Koran, and naive allusions to pre-hit- torlc history—all of which we used breathlessly to skip In our mad pursuit of the plot—real people they were and are, despite their.marvelous pul chritude, their marvelous learning and theirmarvelous riches. Why they were as real as Robinson Crusoe, or Sir Wil liam Wallace, or John Halifax or the Sluggard Knight or even the Deer- slaver! They lived and moved ami hud their being for us of the weeping eyes. Augusta Evans Wilson needs no monument of stone or brass; ueeds no gallery of antiquities, to preserve her memory. For, as long us there.are Southern children and Southern mothers, she will live In the hearts of those who have loved and later laughed at St. Elmo—a lender, reverential laugh of reminiscence, no! a laugh of mirth or ridicule. EQUALIZING EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES. Perhaps the best thing about sitting at the editorial desk of great dally newspaper Is the privilege It affords one "to cOme Into direct con- . tact with the thought of the people—people beyond the orbit of one's per sonal existence, but nevertheless bis neighbors, who are struggling with the same problems that beset him and who are soldiers in-the common cause of building up'home, state and country. It has always been a matter of pride with The Georgian that It re ceives In each mail a great number of letters from the people, letter* giv ing the views pf the commonalty and Die, natural aristocracy on matters pertinent to politics, society , anti j-ejigton. * • . Some of these letters are, ru^e, Some are'expressions of extreme bias, some' arfe illogical or unjust.v'biR?lhe greater part of thein, . Is- made up nf h- h., pane and often Inspiring icotniuein and argp menl.' 'Thraf letters are valuable to, aiiy snel<-m of public (pies tlorts, T hey t)fieri give ney*, pr-pipo^tlve on niiHterp, they bften QohtSmi' , new Ideas, expression op wlfleh .wlll^eai\ to marked)Improvements In Con ditions of life. In the value of these letters lies the raison d’etre'of'our' “People's Forum,” a feature of The' Georgian that has undoubtedly ac complished much In the way of educating Its readers to a more thorough understanding of questions, local, domestic and national. All of this Is In passing, though we have often wished for the opitortu- nlty. of saying It V -Qut.of-the-mHlI of today comes a-communlest-ton,-hearing on a.most, pertinent topic of the time, written In suoh refreshingly clear and beauti ful.style that we shall use dt as an editorial. It need only be said that The Georgian Indorses everjf’word of It: Editor Georgian: yot lone ago l was talking with a group of friends about the evi dent culture tintl refinement of certain people of our acquaintance and the remark was made by some one that they had sprung from very . iioor and humble parents, and that all the educational advantages they had were obtained In the city schools. I made the remark that with shell living Illustrations of their immense cultural value before us cpnstpntly,' every,eltizqn ought to be an ardent advocate of the'Im provement and eXtdbslOa of ouf system of free common - schools. ■ - - lady- -remarked, that when she saw such results . from the conimouL- school system she did not blame poor people from forsaking the coun try and moving to town, nod that If she were In such clrcumstaliceH she would seek out the very largest town within reach where her children could have the very, best ddficatlonal facilities possible. And when we think about It a little so say we all. One of the serious problems of the South today Is the forsaking of the farms by the poorest classes of our farmers, the reduction of the vastly Important forces of production, nnd the filling up of our towns with non-producers to eke out a precarious existence in an environ ment for which they nre poorly adapted. One of the chief causes for this movement Is the very natural desire of the poor farmer to give his children better, educational advantages than he, can obtain for them In the country. The country schools of the South, and the North, too,. for that matter, are notoriously Inferior In every way to those of the towns. To allow this condition to continue to exist Is neither just nor wise. If It continues many more decades our countrysides wilt be depopu lated of small white farmers and our agricultural Interests will be abandoned to non-efficient negro farmers whoBe products will be in ferior both In quantity nnd quality to those of the better class of white farmers. What we need more than anything else In the South Is to increase the number of white land owners living upon and operating directly their own small farms. This condition can never bo attain ed while the educational facilities of the country places remains as they are. It is the part of Justice as well as of sound political economy to Improve at once the country common schools. 1. Let thblr number be increased, let better buildings lie con structed. let the teachers lie better paid, ami see to it that they are more competent for their duties. 2. I,et the system that Is meeting with marked success In the North of combining several district country schools into one high class, central graded school, with free transportation of the more dis tant pupils to and from the school, be tiled In the South. , 3. Let there be established In every country town, In connection with the city schools If desired, n country high school. Let dormito ries be built for the accommodation of both male and female pupils whllo attending thereon. Let the state furnish not only free tuition, but free board as well to every farmer's son and daughter who de sires those advantages which cannot be obtained at home. Let free Isiard be given to every pupil lest the poor refuse to take advantage of the opportunities afforded through fear of being classed gs pau per*. These are things which mny be doue and ought to be In order to equalize school advantages as between country and town. I am a resident of a largo town where we hnvo the very best common school facilities and I want these blessings brought within the reach of the poorest farmers' sous and daughters, that the family may be encour aged to remain on the farm where they are so much needed.- Amcricus, Gu., Nov. 26, 1906.

But there Is 5ne phase of the esse that calls for expression. The argument has been made on mauy sides In’ New York that when Mrs. Graham, the woman said, to have been Insulted by Caruso, failed to ap pear In court lo testify against the ten or. the case should have been dis missed. So fnlr a paper as The New York World has made this point. From the opinion. The Georgian begs to dissent. It Is a matter repugnant to any woman of womanly qualities to have to subject herself to soy such public ity and notoriety us nppeuring In court in such a case as thlB would entail. It would be greater punishment to her; Innocent, than any ordinary sentence would be to an offeuder.

And, aa usual, science claims as original anil new what hna been pro claimed by tbe aeera ot eartb for centuries. It is the habit of science. But while 1 know tlie greet truth under lying nil the occult sciences, and especially astrology, I deplore noil coudemn the meth ods of n large majority of the professional astrologers who give n few hours to calcu lations which require days, If correctly done, and who semi forth a dollars worth etc., Now, it'chsiiced that’I wssTri tho same house with this Isdy during the whole- period of the time indicated (s month), nnd not one even of any note occurred -os pre dicted by the hourly guide.

In the course of his outward-bound voyage he ran Into n British vessel of twenty gun* which he succeeded In beating off, and Inter, in the Bay of Biscay, captured a British prlvatcej* of twenty guns and a crew of sixty men. With a prlro crew on the enntured craft the two vesaela started out for Btlboa. They had gone but a little way when they en countered hla majesty** ship Achilles, with forty guns and 14u men. Recapturing Ham den's prise, the big Englishman lay along side of the American ship all night.

Pickering, the Achilles Here Is un extract from nn “hourly guide" sent to a friend recently by oue ot these widely ndvertlalng aatrologers: * “Thla Hour Guide describe* tlie precise great truth of the creed of love taught ky Christ: but I believe In very few of thaao who attempt to translate III* words. And I believe the Immortal soul of man Is greater than the atarg; and if we keep our minds tuned to the thought of our divinity we will be able to “overcome secret enemies,” to be protected from "rob bers,’* nnd to turn jvhaicver event occurs to our ultimate good. , 4 . , .. „ Instead of consulting your hourly guide every ten seconds of the day, take a half hour and sit alone with God nnd your owu soul, and think of the words. love, truat, peace, good will, sereulty, usefulness, opu lence, lienevolence. happiness nnd wisdom. Ray that all of these are yours, and that only good can come to you. Do thin for one-half hour dally, and you will need uo hourly bulletin of misfortunes.

By this half hour given absolutely to -Jinmunlon with the source you will, be strengthened and enlightened so that what ever events are wrlttcu In the stars for you will turn to good results.

Haya Thomas Wentworth Higginson: “The tttle had lasted three hours, bcln<r foucht _> near the Spanish coaat that a thousand spectators, It waa aald. lined the shores; and it waa also aald that before the Pickering and her prize had been half nn hour nt anchor, one could have walked n mile over the water by stepping from boat to boat; and when the captain landed he was borne in triumph through the city on men's shoulders. “This.” continues the historian, “la but a sample of this bold sailor’s adventures. On another occasion, still In the Pickering, bo fell In with three armed Englishmen In company, carrying, respectively, twelve, fourteen nnd sixteen guns, and he captured each In succession with his vessel, he carry ing just as many guns as tbe largest of the enemy.’* From first to last Captain Haraden took more than a thousand guns from the Brit ish.
