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 judge's Illness, anil that he had ■teadlly .and rapidly Improved aince their reception. Surely the senate ahould write Senator Beveridge to make a Christ mas oration liefor, he adjourns.

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. $750,000 BOND ISSUE IS RECOMMENDED FOR IMPROVEMENTS Special to The Georgian. Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 18.—The city council committee* have recom mended a bond l**uc for thla city amounting to J750.000, of which amount $275,00 la to be devoted to sewerage, $150,000 to street Improvements, $200,- 000 for a new city hall, $25,000 for city parka, for the payment of the float- IhK debt and to erect a new fire haH, $100,000.

SALOON MOVEMENT IN IIOGANSVJLLE J. B. Richard* and W. D. Upshaw, f the Georgia Anti-Saloon League, re turned Monday from a visit to Hogans- *, Ga., where they spoke Sundnv night to a big audience.

CRAZED FROM MORPHINE MAN CUTS HI8 THOAT. Special to The Georg Inn. < 'hattanoogu, Tenn., Dec. 18.—('razed by morphine nnd despondent over Ill ness. George T. Gibson committed »ul- . clde here by cutting hi* throat from 1 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. GOSSIP SHOT BY COMPANION WHILE BIRD HUNTING Special to The Georgian. Wnshlnton.

Albany, Ga., Dec. 18.—For several days during the latter part of last week this city was infested with as bold a gung of fake beggars as ever operated. There were five In the number, and four claimed to be paralytic nnd one blind.

The vote on reconsidering Mitchell's license waa the tame, except that Coun cllmen Terrell and Chosewood changed from "No" to "Yes." Although council had once defeated the amendment, making the license $2,- 000 Instead of $1,500. when It came up for reconsideration It was adopted al most unanimously, only one or two vot ing in the negative.
