The Carolinians and Judge
Bleckley.
II was a beautiful compliment which
the South Carolina Society, conipoaed
of tender and ehlvnlrlc gentlemen,
paid to Judge laigan Bleckley, the
venerable CarollnaOeorglan at hla
home In North Georgia, when it waa
moved to acini, through the graceful
worda of Col. Henry D. Capera, the as-
aurance of the tender reapect and rev
erence which they had for the distin
guished jurist whose career both per
sonally and morally.has always honor
ed both the commonwealth In which
he was born and the commonwealth In
which he lives.
Judge Uleckley la oue of the flgurea
who have grown dear through many
year* to the people of Georgia. Ilia
Individuality, hla human nature, hla
klnduess, hla rich philosophy. Ills
quaint humor and hla profound and
scholarly attainments in law have
given him a high and noble place In
the reapect and affections of the Geor
gians of this generation.
Judge Bleckley Is one of the many
•oita whom South Carolina has con
tributed In hla early youth to this
commonwealth of Georgia, and like
many others he bolda hla loyalty mi-
dltnmed to the state of hla birth, while
it It expressed In all of Its vigor to
the state of hie adoption.
Nothing that the South Carolina So
ciety expreaaed In Its deliberations
waa more beautiful than those resolu
tions of sympathy drawn and framed
by Colonel Capers, and telephoned
that evening by the society to the
home of Judge Bleckley In Clarkes-
▼llle, Ga.
Colonel Capers received ou yester
day a note from Mrs. Bleckley ex
tracting her profound appreciation of
the compliment to Judge Bleckley, and
(or the gracious expression voiced In
the resolutions of the society, saying
that the tender message which they
carried, were like a healing halm to

THE PRESIDENT ON GEORGIA DAY AT JAMESTOWN.
The Interview with President Mitchell, of the Jamestown Commission.
In these cokutnns today, was given to The Georgian on Friday of last week
Just after Commissioner Mitchell's return from an Interview with the
president, and was withheld from publication at the request of Mr. Mitch
ell In deference to the wishes of the president until the exact day was
named, on which he would apeak for Georgia at the Jamestown exposi
tion.
The exact day has not yet been named, hut the announcement of
the president's speech on Georgia Day comes from those who have taken
up the matter with the president since Mr. Mitchell practically concluded
It. And the Incident is all the more notable bccauae some of those who
are now most enthusiastic over the event were quite conservative and
timid over the original suggestion of Bulloch Hall as made by the commis-
sinner himself.
There can he no doubt of the sincerity of the president's pleasure in
this compliment which Georgia has paid him In the erection of Bulloch
Hall at Jamestown. The president Is a man of loo much good taste not
to appreciate the greatness of Georgia, and to covet the Implied or ex
pressed approval of Its people. It Is an honor to any man, president or
emperor, to receive such a compliment as President Roosevelt has re
ceived from the people of this great commonwealth. Whatever else may
he said of the president, he Is at all times a gallant, warm-hearted and
chlvalrir gentleman, and we can readily believe that the heartiness of
his appreciation In accepting Mr. Mitchell's request to speuk on Georgia
Day wus a sincere expression of hiagrateful acknowledgment of the honor,
and will he an equally Sincere expression of his high personal affection
for the atate.
How could any man with any thought, or right thinking In his bosom,
be less than proud and fond of the state which gave his mother birth 7
How could any man with traditions and Instincts fall to thrill with the
glories of a commonwealth to which Ills forefathers contributed their
honorable and substantial part? How could an American citizen of
any degree fall to appreciate a compliment paid by a great and sovereign
state to his mother?
From first to last the Incident Is one of the most beautiful and effec
tive In the recent history of our state, and Mr. Mitchell must be credited
for having engineered all through the phases of an dvent which will be
of national Interest and which will Inevitably tend to hind the president
closer to this commonwealth and to the Southern people.
We do not think that the president has ever fatted to appreciate the
commonwealth of Georgia. From the lime that we captured his admira
tion and regard In the glorious reception which we gave him here on a
bright October day a few years ago. and from the same day on which his
cordiality and his hearty and resolute manliness captured us In turn,
he has not failed upon any occasion which lias offered to Illustrate hts re
spect for Georgia and his pleasure to do a service to the state.
We are quite confident that the president at Jamestown, speaking
In the reproduction of his mother's Georgia home to the Industrial and
seutimentnl suggestions of that great exhibition, will rise to a greater and
more fraternal height of patriotic eloquence than he has given voice to In
all the Illustrious years of hts marvelous administration.
Georgians who hear nothing else should undoubtedly travel to the he
roic waters of Hampton Hoads oil Georgia Day to hear the most famous of
modern presidents rise to greet the orcasion which touches in one rich
and vital moment his filial tenderness, his fraternal sympathies and his
national pride.
It ought to he the speech.of Theodore Roosevelt's life.
COUNCIL LIGHTNING
■ ON CHANGING MIND
THE PROMISE OF A PEACEFUL HOLIDAY.
No prospect that stretches forewaril In this Christmas season Is more
pleasing than the well-founded promise of a Christmas of good order as
well as of good cheer.
Time was when our Christmas season had drifted through accumu
lating license Into an orgy of disorder and discomfort to all right-
minded persons. The night that foreshadowed the coming of the
Prince of Peace had grown hideous through the din of discord that made
the streets Impassuhle and life scarcely safe In the turbulent scenes of
the lawless pud unrestrained.
That day Is past some time ago, and our Christmas seasons have
been for these three years past progressive'improvements along the line
of harmless enjoyment and Innocent fun without damage and demoniac
souiids.
It lias a cheerful sound to the ears of our cltlxenshlp—the strong
word of vigorous warning which Judge Broyles has voided far In ad
vance of the Christmas season, and which other olllcers have taken up
and will develop Into practical and lawful enjoyment of a great and glo
rious day.
It Is Just as well that this warning shall be repeated from time to
time before the coming of the holiday. It Is Just as well thnt the press
should call again and again attention to the proclnmojlons of the execu
tives of law and order In this community, uml thnt the lawless should
enter upon this happy season with the full understanding that they are
to be protected In every enjoyment, and that they themselves must not
Interfere with the enjoyment of any other celebrant of the birth of Christ.
Ami when It Is all over, we are Bure that we will all. of every age and
nf every class In the city of Atlanta, concede that we have been ull the
happier and heartier, nml our holiday all the more helpful and inspiring If
we shsll spend It within those reasonable limits In which Joy is express
ed without madness, and festivity without excess.
The highest element of our Christian civilization will have been
reached when tills great Christian people realize In youth and in age the
(ull meaning and purpose of this great festival day and shall carry that
consciousness Into their lives uml actions while they eelehrate and re
joice with their fellowmen over the coming that meant, nineteen hun
dred years agn, and means today, "Peace on earth, good will to men.”
ATLANTA'S RADIANT LITTLE SISTER.
We have a sister city In the South which has Imbibed the real spirit
of modern progress and Is reaping In every prosiierous year of Us grow
ing existence the beueflts of Its enterprise and of Its radiant faith in
Its own possibilities.
We refer to Jacksonville, In Florida. Jacksonville with a population
of 21.000, waa ten years ago destroyed by fire more completely than any
city has ever been burned In the history of modern times. Never In any
Instance was there such widespread desolation or so complete an oblit
eration of residences, of huslneea streets, of commercial thoroughfares,
of wharfages ami of suburban reBldetiees. Thu annihilation waa cqm-
plete and apparently overwhelming.
But the one thing which the fire did not destroy amid these gentle
liut Indomitable people of "the I and of Flowers." was that heroic spirit
that does not know how to despair or to surrender.
Men 111 Colder regions who ure accustomed In vaunting measure to
boast of the superb and dauntless energy of the more northern iieoples,
will find a parallel for their greatest efforts and their largest perform
ances In the material miracle of Jacksonville's recuperation. The Jack
sonville of toduy has nearly doubled the isipulatloti that It had the day It
burned. It Ik now a city of over 10.000 people and la pressing hard and
fast alter Its sister cities in the South. The buildings of the old historic
city have been far eclipsed and utterly overshadowed In the memories of
the older residents In the stately and splendh^structurea which represent
the Jacksonville of today. Where there was a shanty in the Jacksonville
of 1S96, there Is a structure of brick or stone today. Where there were
small stores thete are now large and stately buildings, and In every In
stance the structure which has come to replace the structure that waa
burned la taller and statelier and more Impressive than the old.
Better than this: Out of Its baptism of fire, Jacksonville Ima come for
ward with a new spirit of progress, and energy, with a dauntless courage
and ambition such as it never had before. It seems to have taken on
new life. Its ambitions are large, heroic and fought with magnificent
audacity. It has established a half a-mllllon club whose audacious pur
pose la to liutld Jacksonville to a population of Imlf-a-milllon souls with
in the present half century. Its Secretary, C. I.. Honney, is one of the
most tireless and Indefatigable workers of Southern commerce, and the
fame and the policies of this new' and phoenix risen metropolis of our
beautiful sister slate of "Hie l.and of Flowers." has filled and la rap
idly filling the southwest with the repute of Its enterprlae. Its beauty, Ha
energy and its laudable ambitions.
It gives our Twentieth Century Atlanta, capital and metropolis of
Dixie, the sincerest pleasure to congratulate with all Its heart, our little
sister of Jacksonville ii|s>n (he budding and maturing charms of Its glo
rious womanhood. We predict for It n long and brilliant career of hclle-
dom among our Southern cities, and We arc quite confident that Ha con
quests and Ha achievements will satisfy even the vaulting spirit of >*■«
bright metropolis of the stale of Florida.

CRAZED FROM MORPHINE

ear to ear with a razor. He sat up In
All the restriction* and regulations of
th# whisky traffic recommended by the
special police committee were adopted
by council Monday afternoon, except
ing that council voted In favor of even
higher licenses than the committee
wanted.
Instead of the retail license being
fixed at $1,500, as recommended, council
voted In favor of a $2,000 license, and
Instead of $300 a* a beer license, $400
wai set.
This and previous councils have
done many queer and funny things,
but never was there a more complete
nnd sudden change of front than was
made Monday on the question of the
regulations of the whisky traffic, rec
ommended by the special committee.
Men who had been considered In the
forefront In fighting the saloons nnd
opposing new licenses, voted in favor
of granting two new applications yes
terday. when there were any number
of applications then on the table which
had never been considered.
Men who were generally understood
to favor high licenses voted ngalnst the
amendment of Alderman Peters to
make the license $2,000, Instead of
$1,500. Hut the biggest surprise of the
dny was when council unanimously
voted In favor of laying the whole re
port of the committee on the table.
Council, having granted two licenses
for m*w saloons, having defeated the
amendment of Alderman Peters to
make the saloon license $2,000, and
having voted to lqy the report of the
committee on the table, and even after
bavins discharged the committee, the
saloon men left the council chamber,
rejoicing thnt they had won such n
sweeping victory.
Change of Front,
Four members of the general coun
cil. also thinking that this Important
matter had been settled, also left. These
were Alderman Sims and Councllmen
Glass, Taylor and Roberta.
And then followed the double-quick
and quite artistic right-about-face that
will make the council of 1906 go down
In history.
Alderman Key moved to reconsider
the granting of the license to W. H.
Mitchell for a saloon nt 18 North Broad
street, and Councilman Wlkle moved to
Washington. Dec. 18.—In a special
message to congress yesterday, the
president discusses the public land
frauds in the West.
"The developments of the past year,”
he says, "emphasize with Increasing
fcree the need of vigorous and Imme
diate action to recast the public land
laws and adapt them to the actual sit
uation.
"There Is but one way by which the
fraudulent acquisition of th*se lands
can be definitely stopped, and, therefore,
I have directed the secretary of the In
terior to allow no patent to be Issued
to public land under any law until
actual compliance with that law ha*
been found to exist. For thla purpose
an Increase of special agents In the
general land office Is urgently re
quired.
"The present coal law limiting the
individual entry to inn acres put* a
premium on fraud," he say*, "by mak
ing It impossible to develop certain
types of coal fields not violating the
law."
»r the Improvement and develop
ment of national forests the president
recommends that the secretary of the
treasury be authorized to advance $5,-
000,000 to the forest service to be re
paid In Installments after ten years.
He also recommends the {transfer of
national pnrks to the department of ag
riculture.
