Still Atlanta should aet Its face In tbit direction NOW. / Sam Spencer's Fame Secure. In Teturnlog to his desk after a two weeks' absence In the West, the edl tor of The Georgian finds his first opportunity to comment upon . the tragic death of Samuel Spencer, the lata president of the Southern Rail way. Sufficient time has elapsed slnco that fatal Thanksgiving morning to relieve editorial comment of much of the shock and emotional fiber of an Immediate utterance upon nn event so shocking and so appealing to the aym patblea of the ptihllp and of Individ uals. As the career of the late president of the Southern Railway fades Into the distance, It becomes distinctly ap parent that Georgia has contributed One of the distinctly great figures that have created at\«l piled the era of railway and irttfilstrlni develop ment In which w.e live. -As the head of this great system, Mr. Spencer has frequently been the subject of com ment and sometimes of controversy'in matters In frhlch he has differed or seemed ttf differ with Individuals of the great sectiqn over which hla lines traversed. Rut wo think there are few people living In this generation who would withhold from Mr. Spencer the belief that he was at' heart loyal to the South, to Its traditions, to its prosperity, and anxious In his own way to bring about Its progress and development. A gentleman close and personally near to the late president of the Southern Railway, relates a conver sation in which with the South as his subject with its developments and aspirations, and loyally confiding to each other, Mr. Spencer had declared that the ono great dream of his life was to record a signal and acknowl edged service to the lection In which he Jived, and that he would not llko to die until ho had made every sec tion of the South which his multi plying lines traversed, "to blossom like the rose.” “When that Is done," said he, “I could feel that my work waa ended and could die happy In the consciousness of a great and com pleted mission." It was Mr. Spencer's lot to close his great career just at a time when all the great railway systems of the country were' flooded and overwhelm ed with the tremendous tides of pros perity which multiplied the volume of freight and passengers beyond the power of the railroads to sustain. And of course, coming at this time there will be many who will find an additional tragedy In his death from the fact that he himself dlnbvns the result of a service perhaps lnatlo- 'quato to the great volume of trans portation which It carried. But whatever the comments and criticism of the public upon the past record of this great and strenuous financier, his place Is secure among the great men and the great actors of his time. And with those who knew him best, loving him best and trusting him most. It Is certain that the fame of hla achievements will he Joined to the real Integrity, and to the patriotic scope of his motives, and he will be remembered as among the greatest of the friends and benefac tors of the South which gave him to hla times. The best antidote to lawlessness Is the expedition of the law. The Atlanta of the future will be one of municipal Independence In pub lic utilities. NORTHERN SENTIMENT AND A SOUTHERN CANDIDATE. Atlanta, Ga.. Dec. 4, 1906. Hon. John Temple Graves. City. Dear Sir: Just a line to express my gratification because of your editorial of yesterday urging the nomination of a Southern man for the presidency. Every word of yoUr most able appeal Is absolutely true and the . moat valuable qsset any Democratic candidate for the presidency can have In the eyes of the vast majority of the Northern people will be the fact that he Is from the South. Respectfully, F. O. FOSTER. Mr. F. O. Foster Is one of the many citizens who have come to Atlanta from that great section of our country north of the Ohio river. The itatement to which he bears witness and gives such pronounced Indorsement was the declaration of The Georgian that in case of the nomina tion of a Southern man for the presidency a valuable and popular asset In his case In the Northern mind would be the fact that he came from the South, and that his nomination afforded the great friendly mass of the North ern people the opportunity to testify by their ballots that the division of the sixties was healed, and that this Is In fact as well as In sentiment one country and one people for all future time. ,V ■ - f The editor of The Georgian asserted this fact upon the basis of twelve years of Intimate association with the representative body of the Northern people. Mr. Foster aBserts It from the standpoint of birth and experience, and from an Intimate personal knowledge of the spirit and temper of the Northern people toward the South and the re-united country. The fact established by these two concurrent lines of testimony Is oue of vast Importance to this section and to the Democratic party In any ac tion or policy that depends upon the sentiment of the Northern masses to ward the South and toward Southern men. We believe it to lie absolutely true that the great majority of the people the merchants, the lawyers, the farmers ajul the wage earners of the Northern, Central and Western states—are distinctly and almost aggressive ly cordial toward the Smith, and both definite and positive In their desire to express that feeling In the most practical way, and to re-establish for all time the unity and fraternity of the country beyond alt'cavil or uncertainty. General Gordon, Bob Taylor, Senator Tillman and Sanr J.ones, after years of contact and thousands of miles of travel, Have bcwr-itnbroken and unhesi tating testimony along with our own toward the existence add the practi cal expression of this spirit; ( ><■'. * V, Here, then, Is' the eminent practical Justification of The Georgian's sug- gcstlon for the nomination of a Southern man for the presidency or at least fdr the holding of the next national Democratic convention In some central and representative Southern city like Atlanta, The only thing wiilch has halted this experiment for twenty yearn Is the complete and Ignorant misunderstanding and misapprehension of the real attitude of the Northern people toward the South. We have no doubt but that every Northern man now living in the South and'that every South ern man now living In the North would, from' experience, concur heartily and promptly In the opinion expressed by The Georgian and Indorsed by Mr. Foster, and we feel sure that the time la ripe to, teat this sentiment at least In asking the next national convention for the South, If we do qot care to present a favorite son for a place upon the national ticket. Let Atlanta, then, as the first outspoken candidate for the honor of being host to this great convention, and as the natural and worthy recipient of the distinction—as the capital city of the central and largest Democratic state of the Union—appoint Its committees, formulate its claims and present them without embarrassment or hesitation to the February meeting of the national Democratic committee which meets In Washington. Fortunate In being represented upon that committee by a loyal Atlanta editor, the capital of Dixie should be able to secure a prompt and cordial hearing and a favorable consideration. And what a royal and memorable opening would be this national Demo cratic council for the stately hall of Atlanta’s Armory-Auditorium. undoubtedly inspire him to aerve, within the limit of hla official obligations, the people of this great section of the country. It Is at least certain that President Finley comes -into bis high estate under a great wave of confidence and good will, and The Georgian felici tates both the official aryi !he public upon the pleasant augury which these conditions make for a mutually happy and profitable association. We* extend our congratulations and best wishes to the new president of the Southern and wish for him such an administration as will go far to ward softening the conflict between corporations and the people. A “BOURBONLESS'’ BANQUET OF KENTUCKIANS! The Kentuckians oi Atlanta have united themselves Into a atate society bearing the name of that Illustrious commonwealth, and propose to celebrate this memorable organization by a grand banquet next Monday evening In Atlanta. We are sure that the announcement will carry pleasure to every man claiming nativity id the Biuegrass State, and will excite a generous interest in the thousands of people who pay tribute in their several ways to the, commonwealth wiiosc glories are celebrated. In the world famous trinity of fine horses, beautiful women and unequaled liquor. in their banquets, which are mostly confined to men, Kentuckians of an cient and modern times have been accustomed to exclude the One horses and the lovely women, but they have, by alt the records and traditions, made good the deficit In Ihe abundance with which their third great product has flowed llko water through the current of their genial aud hospitable debate. It has been held for a hundred yeara that a Kentucky banquet without red liquor was like a ship without a sail or a kite without a tall. , But the Kentuckians of Atlanta are going to smash the records of a wet and mellow century, and to set a new and novel custom (or the "Colonels" a coming day. The Atlanta Kentuckians are resolutely preparing to celebrate a banquet without a drop Of wine to warm the brain or loosen the tongue of eloquence. They are going to demonstrate the unsuspected fact that Kentucky’s great ness Is Instinctive and spontaneous and not the child and creature of arti ficial stimulants. Banished Is the Julep from this banquet hall, and the bour bon of tile biuegrass stills Is banned. The eloquence of the "Colonels” la not •be Inspired by looking upon the wine when It Is red. the state of the still to be toasted In pure cold water, and the tradition that has been sustained from Danle) Boone to Henry Watterson^ Is to be shattered by the grafting ' Georgia temperance upon the historic habits of Kentucky. The Atlanta banquet will mark a new and notable era In the history the commonwealth. What will Jack Chinn say? What will Henry Wat- terson think of It? What will be the verdict of the "Colonels upon a thou sand hills"? Will these he counted as true Kentuckians who celebrate a feast of the commonwealth without the presence of any one of that great trinity which has made the state illustrious? We have It! Let these gallant descendants of Daniel Boone choose the better element, and crown their feast with the chlefest glory of their civic trinity. Banished be the horses, banned be every drop of treacherous liquor, but let woman—last aud best ami loveliest of Kentucky's products—be there compensate for every sacrifice and to reward with radiant smiles the brave reform wiilch Kentucky’s modern sons fiave aet against Kentucky's ancient banquet creeds. THE PLEA FOR THE RAWLINS BOYS. There seems to be a general disposition on the part of the press to fall In with the current of reaction which has set In sympathy toward the Rawlins boys, and to plead with the authorities to show them mercy and to give them an opportunity to lead a better life. The Geo/glan, too, promptly falls in with this current, not so much be cause ft lp popular, as because It Is merciful and right, and because we are always ready to go on record as the advocate of tempering Jhstice with mercy. The RawJlqs boys have been convicted of a great crime and should undoubtedly sgffer punishment. But the conditions which surrounded them, the Impelling Influence which drove them to their shocking act. the per sonal and hypnotic power of an Intense and able father appealing through hate with parental Influence aa the agency, makes in the Judgment of* thoughtful and merciful men no small palliation of the crime of these 1 young and undeveloped boys. It Is a case In which we think that the state Can afford to exercise Its great and powerful prerogative of mercy. It is a logical conclusion that the Influence of this awful tragedy and this long continued trial will have Impressed upon the minds of the Rawlins boys for all time and for all eternity the monstrous nature of the crime which they have committed. It can only be hoped that'the extension of mercy by the state would result In lives that would studiously avoid In the future the crime find the lawlessness which blotted their eariy youth. The plea Is based purely and simply upon the Idea of comparative Irre sponsibility of these young'fellows and of their coerced criminality, under (he instigation of a father's monstrous and ungovernable hate. We fall lb, anyway,' with the advocates of mercy, and trust that the law and Its officers to discretion Is committed may use it with all the wis dom and the tenderness which the fnterests of society may permit. SHOT By HUNTERS! MOTHER LOSES EYEs LITTLE GIRL ELLA WHEELER WILCOX She Explains Why Parisians Rather Justly Consider Americans as a Race of People Without Manners.

OMMENTfl like the above .appear constantly In the French press, and they Indicate the exact atti tude of France toward America. Never was a country more universal ly hated tban our own. When not actively hated It Is regarded with criti cal amusement. At the samo time our financial success and our material progress arouse a spirit of jealousy and envy, eo that all the evil emotions seem to be brought - to' the surface In’ the European mind at the mention of the word America. The Europeans do not want our pros perity at the cost of having our meth ods or our manners. But they, would like our wealth, as they are univer sally an avaricious people and lovers of wealth for what It can procure. The Parisians are wholly unostenta tious; they despise a showy exterior, and some of their most palatial homes are almost shabby on the outside. Our display of opulence offends their sense of refinement, but they are raven ous for the means by which this display Is made, and their only tolerance of us In their midst Is that we may dis pense some of our superfluous dollars where they may profit by them. Parisians are quite justified In re garding Americans as vulgarians, If not barbarians, since the opening of the American section of the exposition of 1900. American friends who were present on that great occasion have related to me what occurred to their humiliation and chagrin. These friends had been present at the receptions given by the Chinese, the Japanese, the Russian, French, Ger man, and, In fact, all the other de partments of the exposition. American Rabbit. All Invitations were Issued by card, and all the foreign receptions were dis tinguished by quiet elegance. When my friends presented them selves at the entrance of their awn national department they found a mob in possession. Elegantly attired women were elbowing guards and officials away from the post of duty and forc ing their way Into the reception rooms without cards. "We are Americans and free people, and we have a right to go In! No foreigner has a right to keep us out of our own country’s department!” was their cry. Ana In they went, before the eyes of astonished and disgusted offi cials placed on duty to keep order and receive the cards of the invited. When refreshments were served a scene even more disgraceful occurred. It was an absolute onslaught, a raid of the six hundred toward the tables. My friend's gown was nearly torn from her body as she tried to escape. » And. mind you, these were not the poor and hungry people of America, the "bread line" of New York’s poor district; they were people of wealth and supposed position, handsomely at tired and passing as the representatlye citizens pf America. And their num bers justified the supposition. Not one, not ten, not twenty Ameri cans were guilty of this conduct that oceaslop* but a mob of-hundre< It has never, been forgotten France, and never will. be. The foreign papers rang with ridicule of Americans for .weeks, and no won der. "Heathen" Chinese and Japanese officials shrugged their shoulders when the name of America was mentioned. And France continues to think of us as vulgarians, and hungry ones at that, fighting for an entrance to a reception to which we are not bidden, and fight ing our way to the food after we get In. It Is the fault of Americans in Eu rope that such comments as the one quoted above appear continually In the French press. The French Way.

Then the woman proceed ed to laud American shops and d< the Paris stores, and for five minut was forced to listen to her tasteless and unjust harangue before I could make my escape. There are hundreds of such Ameri cans abroad. Surely It Is no wondftr the French people do not love us! When a Frenchman wishes to pay you a sincere compliment he tells you that you age wholly un-American. Once he says that you may believe he really accepts you as an Individual worthy of consideration. Wreckless Boys Flee to Woods When Wounded’s Cries Are Heard. PRESIDENT FINLEY OF THE SOUTHERN. Probably no official act ol the railroad, within the laat decade has been received with more universal applause among the people and among railroad employee!! than the election oi Vice President \V. W. Finley to succeed the late Samuel Spencer ua president of the Southern railway. All over the country and from all classes of people, both among those who are expert In their knowledge oi railroad affairs, and those who haveonty per sonal and general acquaintance with the new president of the Southern rail ay. there comes a chorus of genuine and cordial Indorsement which must both gratifying and doubtless will he helpful aud Inspiring to the new executive car this vast and Important system. This indorsement of Mr. Finley seems to be based upon two,'essential qualifications. First, his ample and practical experience in railroad affairs as’ demonstrated by his personal contact and direction of the operating de partment of the Southern railway for the last ten years. It Is claimed that man upon that line, or any other line, has demonstrated a more practical knowledge ol the details of railroad operation, or a more faithful executive capacity than he has In the conduct of such departments as he has had under his Immediate control. The second point of Mr. Finley's Indorsement Is the general recognition of his crystal Integrity and of his broad and catholic spirit of helpfulness to ward the country traversed by his linos. It Is said of Mr. Finley by his friends that It Is simply impossible for him to misrepreseat or to deceive. It Is confidently claimed that the qualities of integrity and kindness within him will speedily establish between the new president and the people at In terest In his administration, a feeling of confidence and good will which III go far toward the establishment of good feeling between the people and the railroads. It Is believed that the public may receive with implicit confidence any statement which comes from Mr. Finley touching the conditions surrounding the road In Its relations to the shipper, the traveler and the general public. Born In Mississippi and having been for a period a loyal and devoted President Roosevelt Is not above the illustration of Henry Clay's defi- -union that the essence of statesman-1 citizen of this capital city of his Southern system, the new president of the \lp is compromise ‘southern Is equipped with natural sympathies and the affiliations which will . » BROTHERS.

BIG FUND IS RAISED FOR HEW CLUBHOUSE More money for the new club house ro be erected by. the Piedmont Driving Club was raised at a meeting of the clUb held Wednesday night at the Kimball house, and the building* Is now assured. At this meeting $7,253 was raised, which, added to the $11,050 raised at a recent meeting, makes a total of $18,- 500. The building that is proposed will cost $30,000, but before work Is com menced the club will raise $25,000. All this money has been subscribed for the bonds which will bear 6 per cent Interest and which are payable In five monthly Installments. Out of a total membership In the club of 412 the amount so far raised has been subscribed by sixty-four members, so there Is but little doubt of the bal ance being raised In the near future.
