This la the.day of memory and of Lee.
It was MR to tha Bouth to produce the Flrat American .and It la the
glory of the South that out of Its pulse and sentiment, out of Us grace
and loyalty, out of It* creed* and chivalry, there blossomed In Its darkest
hour of defeat the foremoat figure of the century, the Ideal oharacter life
Of the republic's Ufa. '
No former foeman falls to concede this Judgment now. Soldier and
clvllianTTnmartial memoryor In pi vie standard, they all pay tribute to
that Incomparable blend of character, courage and capacity which ha*
lifted the illustrious mortal to that lustrous immortality In which fame
preserves Ita chooen for tha contemplation of all time.
It Is not so much that Fred Grant, apeaklng In Collier's of bis great

wherever the English race la found there beats In stately print the pulse
of lofty eulogy, and from the English Wolsetey and the English Gladstone,
through the German Bismarck to the Russian Witte, there ha* flowed fast
and free the high praise which great men give to a greater man In whom

Healing for Body and Soul.
In the first Issue nf The Georgian an
editorial notice Was given of a new
Institution being established In our
Ctty whose mtln object was to lie
the medical and missionary training
of men and women who should go tp
non-Chrlstlan lands, there to practice
•‘The Double Cure" In accordance with
the example and teaching of Christ,
who ha* been well termed "The Great
Physician."
The great need for ttuch workers
may he somewhat reallied from the
fact that while we have In the Culled
Miuies an average of one physician to
every 500 of our people, among the
Mhole of the heathen and non Chris
tian himls there are only about T50
men and women laboring as ntedlral
missionaries, about one-halt of this
number from America.
The barbarous practices In vogue
among tt- native doctors—»o called-
in these lands Is almost past belief.
Every Chris' Ian woman should read a
small pamphlet to be had for the aak-
lag. entitled "Our Suffering Sisters."
It I* Indeed n book nt revelation, and
Is enough to stir every womanly heart
to action.
" Snores of young men and women's
hearts have been touched hv the
knowledge of these things, and they
have decided, tf' possible, to devote
their Uvea to the relief nf this suffer
ing. Over tot have applied to this In
stitution now loratcd In our ctty,
which should receive the heartiest
welcome r.nd nmat^generous support
tnm the people of Atlanta.
There ate nt*n> reasons that might
cdvrtccd U b- half of this iustlto-
There la no monument In Washington to the greatest soldier and the
loftiest citizen of our cduntry. There ts no portrait of tha Great Captain
on the walla of that stately capltol where hang the painted memories of
feasor men. The times have not grown to that superior-height. There
he even those of narrow soul to protest Lts't picture there. It Is Just aa
well.' Lee does not need It. Hn can watt For beyond all paaalng breath
of time or prejudice bla tame la fixed, and history has lighted In the
whole world's mind his Imago with an everlasting lamp.
Lee Is the South's beet riches In that hie life la golden In example
to her growing sonx. Ilappy that people who can lead Its youth to this
high Image—all their own—on nvhlch character Is moulded and all high
purpose Is inspired. Rich beyond comparison Is that ion whose parents
have pointed loving counsel with the Illustration ot this high and stain
less chivalry which appeals to every noble tout. There can be no en
during lapse Of Southern manhood, so long ai teacher and parent lead
feet of Robert Lee.
Iqro/hf him which come to u* from the
chronicle of the civil war, not one la more appealing and Inspiring than
the last martial Incident which stamped him aa greatest In defeat.
Oh, vtiiifh nf Dixie, yen who at rive _jor material possession and
whose standards are set too often upon the garish splendor of success,
look -jrou upon Lee at Appohattox _ and remember that It Is not alwnyx
upon the vtctiV that posterity turn* her gaxe, but sometimes to the noble
vanquished, and that her admiration nt the glory of the conqueror may
well be lost at this time In sheer amaxement at the dignity of the con
quered.
There are men who saw the great defeated Captain when he
came forth from the chamber where he bad signed with Grant the
articles of Capitulation. Tbla was tb* soldier's sad Gethsemane, and on
ly great souls.can measure tho pathos with which Les's eyes rested
now upon the Virginia hills In whose defending he had sheathed forever
his brave and italnles* sword. With unbroken calm and undlmmed digni
ty the Confederate leader rode down tho lane that led to hla headquar
ter*. past the lingering remnant of that army which had been the brav
est body of fighting heroes that the century had produced. The news of
the surrender had gone abroad and they were watting, grief-stricken and
dejected upon the hillsides, when the greatest Captain and the noblest
Gentleman of our time, came Into light. Then came the last transcen-
dent Incident of the civil war. There was no thought that ho had failed.
There wee no memory that be was detested. It was Lee.
In an Instant they were about hint, bare-headed and with tear-
streaming faces, thronging around him, kissing hla hand, his boots, hla
saddle—weeping softly—wildly cheering him amid their tears, and shout
ing hla name to tho very eklee—while he with the kindly words of a
father and a heart that mutt have felt the solace of such devotion In hla
larger grief, bado them a last farewell and left them weeping like the
knights that said goodbye to Arthur at I'endragou, or like the devoted
hand that wept for tho great Apostle to tho Gentiles, weeping most of
all that they should see hla face no more.
And tinder this last expression of hla iieople, "with that grand gray
head uncovered,” Robert Ls* simply smote hla hands together aa though.
In some excess of Inward agouy, mounted hta gray hone "Traveller,"
ami rode calmly down—lo History.
ATLANTA'S CHAMBER IN BULLOCH HALL.
The question of Atlanta's appropriation to the Georgia building at the
.Uttnegtown fair, haa now reached lta definite point.
The ctty council on Monday afternoon will be addressed by Commis
sioner W. N. Mitchell tn a plea tor an appropriation of $5,000 to equip
Atlanta's room In the Georgia building.
This Georgia building stnttds for Georgia St the Jamestown exposi
tion. It will be In all reaper!*, and by reason of the noble and llhistrtuus
woman and the noble and even more Illustrious sou whose ancestral hotue
It was. the most unlqnc and striking building on all the Jamestown
grounds. The Georgia building, model of the home of President House-
veil's mother, will l>e arrhlteetnrally and sentimentally the observed of.
all observer* nt this great international exposition.
Georgia should lie' represented In royal fashion here, and the cltlea of
the state have re*|iontlcd In prompt and generous fashion nnd In appro
ptlatlon* ranging from $500 to $2,500 for their Individual chambers In
this building. Each ot the eight gre'nt cities ot Importance are suppose*
to have a special room, and Augusta and Savannah. Columbus and Al
bany, and Macon, Valdosta and Oordole have rontrlhmrd liberally, and
their room* are well planned for the Georgia home
Atlanta I.-' the rapltal of the atate. It Is the metropolis ot Georgia. It
la the most famous of Southern cttle* and the moat admired t-f all Vtr-
glttia.-tr .-.ml by all blfslder* among the cities cf 1he Son'll
Therefore. It bcbco.is Atlanta to do ler part moat iieucr-J.itI) and
most tastefully in this mittsr. Ths ehhsf room la this Mif'n should b*
reserved for Georgia's capital. It should bn nquippad and fashioned in n
roinnar worthy of this chief and asatrnl dty of tha stats. It should ba
neither niggardly nor bare, for all tha world must know that what stands
tor Atlanta must stand In beauty and in dignity (here and everywhere.
So, there should be no hesitation by ths local legislature Id voting
the appropriation for Atlanta's room la the Gsorgta building nt tha
Jamestown fair. The chamber of cots meres. haa cordially commended
thla appropriation. The sentiment of the city heartily Indorse* It. And
the public spirit and the public Judgment of the press, the bar, the pul
pit and all.elvte bodies expect to aee Atlanta richly represented tn this
stately bouse.
Among other considerations, the material appeal la Urge to Geor
gia and to Atlanta In the first great occasion In which thla bnlldlng
will be oponed to the world. The president of the United States has
consented to speak for our Empire State. It was a happy thought on
the part of President Mitchell In capturing thla most illustrious of Ameri
cans for the opening day. Better still, Ute president U to speak upon
the mighty question of the Industrial growth and development of Georgia
and of the South—upon the climatic, . the educational, th« anelal and the
agricultural riches and possibilities of this mighty section. Reduced to a
material basts, the value ot this great utterance of the foremost of Amer-
from our Immigration agents to our promoters of Industrial schema*, will
find their hands and their efforts helped and Inspired by this great ut
terance from the greatest and- most official son roe In all America.
It will translate Into all languages an unanswerable argument from
the highest official source as to the power,' resources and advantage*
which the Bouth offers to all the worldl
So, that by all the reason* sentimental and material—by reason of
patriotism, by reason of public spirit, of dvlo pride, of self-interest snd
of self-respect, the Atlanta legislature should <vote promptly and hearti
ly the appropriation which the commissioner asks, and by. giving quickly
Siva twice of Ita Inspiration to the cause of Georgia and Virginia.

MOVEMENT OF VEMELA.
THE VITAL QUESTION ABOUT HQJ20RATI0N AN8WZBED
The only doubt which has rested upon the mind of The Georgian
with reference to the Immigration moTement ln our state,, was dispelled | McCullough; detached,
by a question propounded to Chairman Betchman, ot the atate executive
committee, and answered by that gefiUemsn In the CSamber ot Com-
merce on Friday.
The editor of The Georgian (toted to Mr. Betchman that the appre
hension In tha mind of our people was that we might be aaddled In this
country, with so Immigration carelessly selected -from the lower classes
ot the European countries, snd that our population In the South might be
cumbered and not enriched by an Improper and disreputable class.of
settlers..
Mr. Betchman was asked If the Immigration Society of Georgia bad
adopted any plan to carcfuHy select and supervise the character and qual
ity of tha Immigrants whom tt was sought to bring to Georgia, and to thla
question Mr. Betchman replied that the agents of tha Georgia Immigra
tion Society who went abroad were especially to be Instructed to Inquire
to every country and In every city visited; aa to the character andcallber
of the JBSifilRftnts lolidied to coma to us, and that they were to bo se
lected uot leas for character than for their adaptability for certain kinds
of work. .
With this qnoatlon answered, Tha Georgian gives ttaelf heartily and
without reserve into the service of the Georgia Immigration Society, and
will give them to the largest measure Us cooperation and help to all the
work That they shall seek to do. ;
— We would not have lent the use and Influence of these columns to
any movement which sought to bring unworthy or doubtful people Into a
section already cumbered with n race problem serious enough to engage
the beat thought and genlUB of our civilization. Wc have enough to do
with the negro problem without bringing to our doors the serious ques
tions which menace Chicago and other cities founded upon the Hunga
rian. Pole and lower Italian element whore eternal jargon Is not less dis
agreeable than their revolutionary spirit Is menacing to the peace and
prosperity of three cities.
We are thoroughly convinced that the method of state Immigration
suggested flrat by Carolina and later Improved by the Georgia Immigra
tion Society In the elimination of the few mistakes of our Carolina neigh
bors. comas as near to an admirable system aa anything thnr can be de-
Jrised. at thla period of our development-. ——— —
The conference of Friday evening gives The Georgian, a large degree
of confidence in the plant and methods of the stale society. We believe
that tt Is founded upon wisdom and discretion, snd that every movement
Jrf-ihe orgahlzsllon so plannsd gHd so organized, should receive the full
and unstinted encouragement of that large'class of people to onr atate
who desire a larger growth and Increasing population for Georgia.
We trust that Chairman Betchman will be mot everywhere with ‘the
enrouragement and cooperation he deserves. And we Invoke for our
own local committee* the heartiest and most practical expression of ap
proval from a people who are ao deeply and profoundly Interested to ques
tions ot labor and population.
