have not only auccasafully striven to preserve tha materials for n cor
rect history of the civil war for tha futura hlatortan, but they are dolnff a

will produce tha historian of tomorrow. Thatr Influence baa penetrated

forerunner! of a aaner and a sounder education than now generally per-
vtdM tho school world.
Will Oeorgla acknowledge this, debt? To acknowledge It la to pay It
In some measure at least. I-et the people of Oeorgla buy Butherland,
General Onn)on'a home, and present It to tbeao deserving daughters.
It would make excellent headquarters for tha Georgia division of
thalr organisation. There, too. could be kept the manuacripta and ma
terials for history hearing upon Oeorgla'a part In the great struggle. Kor
the children who *r* studying this momentou* period can not always go to
RJchmond'a archives to consult them. Duplicate# would ba asm to Rich

let It be presented to them unconditionally, except that they shall pos

every traveling salesmen In the state of Oeorgla will be more than happy,
to contribute to a fund to purchase that beautiful home, and add rooms

and aa there are beautiful grounds, these grounds ran be made Into a
park, and 1 believe that the good city of Atlanta WIB Join In making this
home one of the beautiful spots of our already matchless Atlanta.
I notice In today's papa? the place offered for isle, Ik scree. Including
tha home, for 121,000. Won't you print this In The Oeorgtan and see
how many will agree with me, and how many will give what they are

To ths Editor of Ths Oeorgtan
The full-page article under the above

was read with deep Interest, and I
thank you for It. ■ ■
“I have recently coma lo lTveTn~AT-

noble colleague, Mr. Seely, and The
Oeorgtan. and call upon all Christian
men. and women, too, to support you
In the heroic eland you havo taken,
especially for three things—Sunday ob
servance, no whisky and good morals.
Tou thus stand for principles, not
policy, and at considerable financial
loss. 1 am sure, and all right-minded
people ought to give you thatr full
support, and It would ba to tbelr ever
lasting shame If for lack of such sup

Anil why? Because I was not

tha hands of my children or friends. It
was a clean sheet, and that Is whnt
cannot be said of the majority of news
papers.
But I not only want lo thank you for
what you do not put In your paper, but
alto for what ydu do put In. Why, air,

three articles by women—Dorothy Ills.

you provide good reading matter Ilka
that In place of the usual trashy stuff

Your Saturday Issues are especially
good as furnishing good reading mat
ter for the leisure of Saturday even
ings, or even of Sundays, and must be
a great boon to invalids and tha sick
generally, who cannot attend church,
aa well as to others.
Now, sir, I firmly and fully believe
that It Is ths bounden duty of all who
are trying to "do the right" to support
one another, and all men of principle
ahould and will do so.
There Ig no excuse for any man al

STATK'WIOE PROHIBITION.
To tha Mdltor of Ths Osorglan:
■ Nsvar before has the public con
science been ao aroused. Never ha*
there been such concert of action.
Never hks there been such fixed and
resolute determination.
The educational period has passed.
The Intelligence of the state haa dis
covered that the liquor traffic means
not only a loss In money, but also a
sacrifice of manhood, a corruption of
civil government and a retrograde In
civic righteousness and a itollullon
of personal morals. We are now In the
period of action, and activity ta
evident.
In the first place, the prase, dally
and weakly papers, is taking position
against the traffic. Of more than 190
waakltas In Georgia, at least loo of
them refuse at any price to admit li
quor advertisements, and latpers. be
Uiay dally.or week! . - 111-h admit such
advertisements will mid subscribers
dropping from the list. A clean paper,
a- paistr that will build up purity and
piety, sobriety and economy, is de
manded by families. At a genera
thing ths editors personally are right
oa HIM .question, but the publishing
company, for the sake of the profit,
admit these liquor advertisements—the
corporation admits them when every
one of the Individual members condemn
the business, strsnge Inconsistency.
But they are waking tip to the feet
that Individual responsibility cannot be
lost In'the corporate organisation; the
man cannot be merged into the multi
tude.
We beg every paper to wash lie type,
cleanse Hi columns and sweep ita
pages. These stalni are not simply
Ink blotches, but they are blood
splotches. We invoke tha aid of tha
preta. Close the saloon end you
open a wide field for the paper.
—In the aecond place, tha An«l-H
League and the Wmnan's Chrtstttff
Temperance fnlon are displaying un
usual activity. They are casting off
compromises and fixing their plans for
• complete ami perfect sweep of the
business from the elate. They are not
content with high license, nor with
a id restrictions, but thsy demand ab
uts prohibition. Public opinion haa
become an decided that a strong MB-
tlment will support tha enforcement
of the law. Experiments have
made in large cities, which show that
absolute prohibition can ba enforced.
Counties In which local option cannot
be had (there are only a few such fn
Oeorgla) see that their hops la In state
wide prohibition and they are anxious
for such a measure.
Ts iB*' third pTsce km
In the state has a prohibition mayor
and council, city ordinances nf a more
rigid character are being adopted. The
violators of local option laws are be
ing punished more severely. Checks
are being placed upon the express and
telephone companies, and the Jug-
brigade la being headed off, flanked
and routed. In the fourth place, nnd
all tha time .tha church of the living
God more than ever has determined
to drive this enemy from tha way of
the gospel- To proper# the way of
the Lord and open the gates tn tha

In connection with the matter, I ftlsh
also to thank The Georgian for Ita Im

but seeing I have had personal charge
of the charity work of tha army In
the city for the past four years, nlso
the Christmas dinners for the poor for
the same length nf time. It Is only fair
to the public, who gave ao generously
to this project, that they have the facts
of the case truthfully sat before them,
onil If this man did not refer to the
local dinner, why did he not stale that
fact to the Bible class that Its was
seeking to edtfy (?) Instead of creat
ing a false Impression?
In his card he criticises the mode of
Investigating, and for his benefit I
would Ilka to state that Adjutant
Johnson of my staff, who waa tha In
vestigating officer In the vicinity of
the Wesley Home, called on and waa
cordially received by this lady and his
object In calling was for the express
purpose of finding. out Just who theas
ladles were going to help, and he re
frained from giving out tickets to
those parties, so that If any of ths
folks the Hettlement House helped also
reralvsd a basket from us. they de
ceived us. Borne of the beneficiaries nf
this house applied to my office for help!
and I politely told them that the Wes

In speaking of hla visit to the pub

'•a student of the charity of the city."
he saw 2,500 people receive food, but
he did net tell of the li.tOO who were
helped by the basket dinner. One haa

necessary knowledge had ha applied
to me.
I have no desire to taka Issue with
him when he epeaka of tha good work
done' by another organisation In the
city, but there Is one statement that
I cannot allow to pass unchallenged.
He aays: "It la true the nrmy does

they are organised for concert of ac

how tha matter stands. We writs
these words of cheer to tha hosts of
prohibition workers, not to suggest a
relaxation of effort, but to encourage
a hopeful and more resolute determi
nation. At a suitable time before the
meeting of the legislature these com
mittees will bo assembled for confer

and aa many have already promised to
be present. It la hoped that every on*

Now, let the Uquor men take warn

there be no cry of confiscation. Find
oiher employment, rent your stores for
other purposes, convert your distilleries
Into other useful manufacturing plants
and save your property, save yourself,
save your customers and save your
country. Re wise and take this advice.
Your business Is opposed by all tha

and tha churches to which they are
attached; It la opposed by all tha lost

heaven, by all the engels In the skies
and by tha righteous God upon tha
