ONE CAUTION IN THE WATER BOND JCMUE.
It la Juat aa wall to look deliberately and Bt all aldei of this water
bond question.
Wa not# that there la a dlapnattlon to preaa lira natter with «reat
vigor and expedition through tha city Cornell and upon the people to
rota an laaue of IbOO.OOO of bonda for general Improvement#, In which the
water department alone le named.
We note alao that our two oontemporarlea of The Journal and Con-
atitutlon are giving their full and unqualified Indoreement fo the plan.
Tha Oeorglan. too. la heartily in favor of these water bond# and of
all public Improvements. Our waterworks system la our on* municipal
ItoaaCsslon, and haa In the main been well conducted. That It needs Ini-
provamaule and additions there can be no possible doubt, and that they
should be voted must ho evident to every man who realises the neces
sities of a great and growing city.
It la juat aa well, however, for cool headed men who have an eye
upon the equal If not greater urgency of other public Improvement*, to
keep a sharp lookout to see that all the money voted for public Improve
ment*, la not spent upon one department alone.
It will be remembered that the city council has appropriated 9904 for
a deliberate Investigation of tho desirability of the city* ownership of
public utilities with especial reference to electric lighting and the gas
plant.
■ Hu rely no one thing can lie more Important to the taxpayers than
this. Hurely In no one department, not *v#n the water department, can
there lie saved more money to the- Individual taxpayer than In the re
form of our eleetrlc and gaa lighting plant for thla city. It is important
and not subordinate to that of any other reform or economy of our
municipal administration. <
The Idea of The Georgian in calling attention to this la not In any
manner or degree to lessen the enthusiasm for the water bonds or public
Improvements. It la simply to throw out the suggestion at this time of
not forgetting In this Important measure the other great and equally vital
department* In which the city la likely to require money.
And It may ba as well here to keep an aye out for that "line Italian
baud of corporation*'' which ha* found It advisable and discreet upon other
occasions to fight by Indirection the measure# to which It Is opposed and
to beware lest they load up a bond laaue with so many expenses that
nothing will be left for the newer reform.
This Is the only caution which we have to offer at this time. We
are In favor of the bonda.
T
year. We felicitate the company upon the profits of their yearly atate-
ment and we took confidently forward to the time when Atlanta’s street
car service will be equal to that of Clavcland, and Indianapolis, and
Washington and Buffalo and other great cities of tbs oountry.
THE NEW HOME 07 SOME OLD MERCHANTS.
The opening of the new great deportment store of M. Rich A Bros. Co.
la a notable event In the commercial history of Atlanta.
In all cities of Atlanta'* Importance there grow up along with the
growth and development of the city, eeruin establishments which aa the
years go hr. create a character for dignity and reliability that becomes
a part of the city's life and of Its general reputation.
Distinctly among this number of great establishments It the bouse
of the M. Rich A Bros. Company, who have been for 41 year* an hon
orable and successful part of the commercial life of Atlanta. The histo
ry of the firm has been distinctly the history of the city—on* of continual
growth, of Increasing repute, of advancing fortunes and of evar-lnereaa-
Ing prosperity.
At different periods In the hletory of the firm Ita ample apace has re
quired to bo enlarged In order to meet the Increase of the business. And
after a long series of Improvements, the beautiful white building qf today
stands aa an ornament to Atlanta's great shopping street of Whitehall,
and a. new monument to the skill, taste, enterprise and honorable deal
ing* of this great and reputable firm.
Forty-one years has marked tha puls* beat of the Rich Bros. A Com
pany with the growth and progress of Atlanta, and In all these yean no
breath of suspicion, ho criticism, of method haa been leveled against the
honor and fair dealing! of thla famous bouse.
The Georgian Is quite sure that the clUxens of Atlanta and tha con
temporaries and competitors of these gentlemen will Join with this paper
In wishing a continuation In the future to the methods and to the auo-
cesa which have crowned the faithful effort! of theea model cltlsene and
distinguished merchants. /

A YOUNG WOMAN 07 THE OLD AND THE NEW SOUTH.
The debut of Miss Calhoun lir Charleston gives rise to some reflec
tions that are not leas material than sentimental.
Thla young daughter of an ancient and honorable race hae been ush
ered Into society, under auspices perhaps more brilliant and distin
guished than has fallen to the lot of any Southern girl within the four de
cades that have followed the civil war.
Amid acenea and surrounding* of more than ordinary aplendor, en
vironed with the lavlah expenditure of apparently unlimited wealth. Mist
Calhoun's debut was attended by notable and distinguished men from
every section of the country, and waa made the occasion fora regath
ering—perhaps the largest in lie history—of .the. fAmo.ua _ gnd aristocratic
names of the moat genuinely aristocratic city In the Union—for not Bos
ton Itself had a society more exclusive and proud than old Charleston In
which them may lie found yet on every street "young ladles In calico
dresaee with the repose of princesses.”
To the*# proud and historic name* of the dly wore added Ihe
names of South Carolinians known and honored since Ihe revolution of
'74, and a reading of the Hat of the wedding guests la almost like a rent-
Inlacence of all that la historic and heroic In Carolina history. Nearly
twenty-five hundred guests were bidden and more than a thousand graced
the festivities with their presence.
The young lady herself Is ihe groM-granddaughter of John C. Cal
houn. Ihe South's greatest statesman, and of general Duff Green, the ablest
Southern editor and Industrial promoter of hla generation, and her family
connection Is iierhaps the largest In tbe atates of Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama. Mississippi and Florida. -—-
Twenty-two years ago Patrick Calhoun, Ihe father of the young deb
utante, was a young and struggling lawyer In Atlanta. The editor of The
Georgian distinctly remetnhere to have sat with him one summer after
noon In hla home al Edgewood and heard him outline In prophecy Ihe en
tire scheme of the Southern railway as It stands completed today-
lit no small degree by Ihe Initiative of hla forecasting brain. Pat
rick Calhoun waa on* of the earliest and a bleat of tha constructive forces
nt that great system; as It grew out of ris scattered Units.—HO WSe -YfffSr
president and practically president of the system when It was called the
Richmond nnd Danville, and went down with the wreck of Ita fortunes
under tho reform legislation of 1869 and 1810. But out of the storm and
vision with which he has fought and won fortune In other fields until today
he Is one of the rlrh Southerners who live In New York, and hla fortune
Is the creature of his courage and genius fnr finance.
In his career have struggled the forces that represented the old
Smith of slatemanehlp under his grandfather Calhoun and the germ of the
material force* that were represented by hi* grandfather Green. The ma
terial spirit absorbed the publicist, and be has followed It to wealth and
distinction. To many of hla friends who know and respect hla great ability
there lingers a regret that the Calhoun strain could not have triumphed
over Ihe Duff Green In hla blond.
The extraordinary debut of the daughter of Patrick Calhoun In Charles
ton Is a notable Illustration of the changes which have come to the old
South of sentiment In the upbuilding of Ita fortune* along material lines.
In the mingling of Ihe old order with the new regime, and of the revolu
tion of Ihe wheel by whlrh Ihe blood and Uncage of the old time, learning
swiftly ihe sharp lessons of adveralty and mastering them, has com*
unco more to tho top. not so much In the right of blood as In Ihe might
nt brains anil energy.
It Is pleasant to know that Martha Calhoun, the young daughter of
the ancient line, Is a noble and unspoiled woman, whose wealth and su
perb advantages have left her sweet, sincere and loyal to the South, and
to all things true and gsuulne and womanly—a worthy daughter of an II-
trlous rnee.

THE 7I0URES CONTINUE TO MAQNI7Y ATLANTA.
Nothing In the remarkablo pies of Atlanta for the snhtretsury was
ao astonishing' to Savannah, at the comparison of bank clearings be
tween that city and our own.
Havatmnh was ronfldent, nnd iiihiii an Impromptu hstsrd most |ieople
would have agreed with her, that our ocean neighbor had the vast advan
tage of the comparison.
In the year 1908 Savannah's el carings were 8232.000,004 against
Itko.OOO.OOO for Atlanta. In 1900 Savannah's bsnk elesrlngs wefe 8242,-
000.000 against Atlanta’s 8935.000.000.’ showing that Atlanta's Increase was
27 I per cent and Savannah’s only 4.3 per rent. But during December.
1900, Atlanta more than evened the balance, and In the first week of Jan
uary. 1907, Atlanta's bank clearings were 84.380.649 against Savannah's
83,986,952.
Atlanta'* astonishing growth still continues and Is Illustrated in the
announcement that the clearings for this last week were 86,712,040 over
85.316,000 for the same week of last year.
This Increase, breaking all records. Is peculiarly gratifying at this
time when Atlsma’s conunerolsl prestige Is an Issue before congress and
the country. The fset that Atlanta's bank clearings are larger than those
of Birmingham and Columbia combined. Is also on* of notable signlfi.
canoe in this controversy And behind the figures stands the fact of At
lanta's continuing growth, and the Irrefutable demonstration that ll Is the
lluaurtat, commercial, and Industrial renter of the South.
