BONK VITAL nousms OK TH1 BOND USUI.
The Georgian la confident that attar a tittle deliberating the city
council will recognise the wisdom and th# eoaearvatfve statesmanship of
Aldermtn Koy In giving a little more time for deliberation before Anal
action upon the water bonds.
It may be premised bv savlnr thst Alderman Key stands just eiactly
as The Georgian stands, In full and hearty approval of th# bond* for
the Improvement of the water system. He recognises the necessity of
extending the pipe line to the river na w* do. He beltevee as we do
In the necessity for a new filtering plant and for an enlarged reaervotr.
To the general propoaltlou of tb* water hoods be la Just as loyal *» It*
moat ardent advocates In and out of th# city council and Th# Georgian
la Just at loyal as he I*.
But Mr. Key and Alderman Curtis and The Oeorgian are la full
and thorough sympathy upon the proposition that there hi* been alto
gether too'much hast* sod eagerness upon this entire plan to rush
through a hoed Issue of $500,000 fqr the lapidvemeat of oar voter are-
tem. aad w# art of on* mind In the view thst a more cartful aad deliber
ate Investigation will enable ua to estimate Just exactly how much la
needed to perfect these Improvement* la our water syatem. aad to saddle
that amount upon tha city fa hood# for Ms particular Improvement aad
no other. U .doesn't took dignified or disinterested.
Alderman Key 1 * proposition la to vote for $100,000 worth of bonds In
stead of $500,000. and he aonounce* hi# capacity to demonstrate beyond,
question that that sum will be amply suSelent to eaUMIsh th# improve
ment which th* city desires la Its water system.
ft la quite probable that the great majority of th* people of Atlanta
who pay taxes and support public Improvement* do not understand th#
seriousness of a vot* for bonds or the enormous expense which a bond Is
sue entails upoa a municipality In the matter of Intareat and repayment.
The Oeorgian daalraa to take the people of Atlanta Individually Into Its
confidence In this matter and to go ovar with them on this Saturday
evening, a few figures whleb will make plain tbs real meaning of to large
on Issue of bond#. ——IT T~.~' ."7.
I.ct us suppose, then, that Atlanta votes for the Issuance of $600.-
000 Worth of tblrty-yoar bonds for this Improvement. According to the
rules governing the bond Issue It would be necessary to set apart every
year as a sinking fund for the payment of tb* principal one-thlrtlttb of
that principal, which In this qaae would be 116.607 annually. At « per
cant per annum the city of Atlanta would pay In Interest upon these
bonds $10,000 every year, so tbat In the matter of th* Intereet and one-
thlrtlctb of the prludpal In the linking fund, Atlanta would pay upon this
Issue of $500,000 thirty-year bonds $!6,6t7 every year.
In thirty years thin payment would amount to the stupendous sum of
$1,110,000, so tbat at the end of thirty years Atlanta upon a band Issue
upon which she would Tecctvo only $500,000 In money, would pay out $1,-
100,040 or $100,000 more than double the total Issue of th* bonds.
The enormous cost of these bonds will begin to be understood by a
contemplation of these figures.
Suppose then that Alderman Key can make plain that $100,000 would
furnish all the money that w* need for tha Improvement of our water
system? And It took# very plausible from the figure* that he presents
that this aum- wouifi be sufficient. Then every year upon these $500,000
thirty-year bonds we would pay out for a sinking fund $10,000, and In
Interest $12,000 a year, making $22,000 a year for the $100,000 bond Is
sue as against $11,(67 on th* $600,000 bond lsue—a saving of $14,(67 a
Wear.
Or In tha court* of thirty years at the maturity of tha bonds, Atlanta
would have caved $176,0041
We believe tbat any thoughtful cltlsen contemplating these figures
will realise the enormous meaning which they convey. It may not be
generally known that Atlanta Is paying at tbia time upon the principal
of outstanding bonds due from 1111 to 1011, about |26(,00( a years#* In
terest and sinking fund to cover their maturity.
Surely there must be somewhere In the wide range of municipal
economy a possibility of making a better trade than this.
Suppose, for Inatanc*. tbat Atlanta upon th* purchase of $100,000
worth of machinery and equipment for an Institution like the water
works should malt* a trade with tha manufacturer* to pay $25,000 cash
and llfi.OOO a year with Interest at 4 per cent. Upon thl* plan the city
would only pay altogether at tha end of the last payment $107,500. where
as upon a bond laau* for thl* amount we would pay $219,000:
So that taken altogether It Is Just aa well to secure a brief delay on
the matter, first to ascertain If w* cannot complete oar Improvements
on a $100,000 bond Issue and save the city $176,000.
And second, to ascertain It the city’s credit can be used to perfect
a loan by which nearly twice this amount might be saved.

SATURDAY EVENING.
The heart of Atlanta la always responsive to a not* that rings
clear and true.
Years ago, when timet were harder and the poor were poorer, one
of the city paper*, on a freeling morning, pictured the sufferings of At-
Innta'a fireless, hungry and cheerless poor.
And before the shadows of the evening tell there were a score of
wagons glib rich stores of fuel and provision*, and a prominent Atlan
tan ui<on every driver's seat, searching the lanes and alleys to relieve
In iiersnnal observation every worthy sufferer from.hunger and from
cold.
There are those who say with deliberate emphasis that Atlanta Is
the inoet charitable of all the cities of Hie Booth
Not long .ago th* editor of The Georgian was discussing the the
ory of ComiM-niatlou with one of the foremost Christian workers of tbe
town We were commenting upon the long and remarkable exemption
of Atlanta from panic, depression, fire, earthquake, cyclone and epi
demic. and suggested that on this theory of compensation Atlanta's lime
must come—all the severer for Its long escape— because Atlanta was
no better than other elites and no more untitled to the smiles of
Providence. -*
"And there we differ." said the practical mau of charity. "Charity
Is chief of all the Christian virtues, and .Atlanta la the chief city of all
my acquaintance In this Christian grace. There la no city I have ever
known that gives so quickly and so generously to every human need as
Atlanta, aud lit nf> deliberate Judgment God has spared Atlanta many -
afflictions hecauso of lls exceeding charity "
Strong view this, and perhaps colored by the w armth of cltlxcnshtp.
Vnd >vi Uteri' Is much to Justify it.
Five days ago Tbe tlcorgiau primed a brief and simple ator.v of a
consumptive little woman of the shopping district slowly dying In her
apartments with a blue-eyed baby In Its cradle by her side, and no
means to utlltxe the great remedial agencies of the time.
The appeal In Its simplicity went home to the great heart of At
lanta anil the state.
Within an hour after the newsboys were crying The Georgian on
the streets. $65 was sent or telephoned to this relief fund, and on yes
terday the i.dltnr of The Georgian, with Mrs. tisorgo 11. Hardy, from
whom the story cane', nnil Mrs I. II Ballard, deposited with th? choaen
custodian. Mr. William R. McClelland, of High’* department atore.
where tbe little widow bad bean at work, $SW aa the awfft and sym
pathetic answer of Atlanta to a brave little woman In distress.
Tbe shopping trad* responded promptly. The merchant prince*
did. as they always do, tbalr generous share. Tbe ehop girts and tbe
clerk* gave with noble generoMty of their store. A long line of working-
moo,- young and old, aome at them with worn Jackets and threadbare
sleeves, cam* In with manly modesty, leaving their contribution* on th*
ooonter of The Oeorgian for the cans*. Tender hearts in tb* outer
state and beyond the state sent In their check* and cordial word*.
And one poor woman In mourning garb, frayed hot Mat. came In nod
with a tear In her sad eyes, left a small cols and t doaen fresh eggs—
her widow’s mlt* cast into the treasury of a human charity.
And on Thursday morning the tittle widow with her cheeks hectic
but hopeful, left for the great Ashevtll* sanitarium, provided with every
necessity and comfort tbat would keep her for a year under the car*
aod kindness or a great physician.
There was .never anything swifter aad tweeter thee this response of"
warm hearts and generous bands to the appeal of the baby and It*
mother. It make* softer th* heart toward homaolty. It makes oo*
realise tbat after all this old world, rushing to tta ends with eagerness
and sometime* with greed, Is not dead to. tha nobler feelings of tha, race
And It teaphes us again the lesson so often taught that while th*
hearts of th* poor are perhaps softer than any other hearts, and the
hand* of th# poor are swifter to th* rallel of auffartngs to which they
ar*. so much shin, yet th* heart of humanity la at last th# same, and
that there are few crust* #o thick—whether of aelflahneee or greed or
fierce ambition—through which a genuine appeal cannot reach to find
and receive the answer which establishes In th* brotherhood of man
the true conception of th* Fatherhood of God. ~
a BuecnsnoN to thb oomkkroial traveler*.
It to with something more than parftiMtory cordiality that we cou-
gratnlat* the Travelers' Protective Association upon the final concession
ot a 21-1 cent Interchangeable mileage bock by th# railroads.
This has been a contention long maintained by th* traveling men
and ably prosecuted' through their representatives with great skill of
argument and with-groat force and persistency of advocacy..
The Oeorgian hu been nt all times the earnest coadjutor of the
T. p. A. in this demand, and Its services have -so far Impressed tbat
body that we cherish among our file* a formal resolution of eloquent
thanks for certain editorials which have been deemed largely effective
by the traveler* In securing the desired end.
We ar* constrained, however, to advise oar friend* of the T. P. A.
that they have a right to expect an even larger eonceaslon from th*
railroad*. Tbe T. P. A. primarily and perhaps In th* oonrae of time
th* general publto are entitled to * 2-cent mileage book at the hinds
of the railway system of the South.
The Georgian has before time called attention to the fact that the
ratlwada tn the norttera middle nad weatarn states furnish * leant
mileage book to the traveling men and to the general public who
travel as much aa 1,000 mllea a year. Tbe objection urged by tbe
Southern railway* to the granting of this reduction heretofore, baa
been tbo tact that the volume ot tmnsportatlon did not Justify It and
tbat whereas th* Weatarn railroad* could grant this rate on account ot
their enlarged volume of travel, the Southern road* were not so fortu
nate In having this Increase.
This protest must utterly disappear In the face ot recent public
statements of railroad officials through the South that the delayed
trains and Ineffective service Is due to the overwhelming Increase of the
volumo of freight and the number of travelers wbo throng then* line*.
So tbat. not upon any mere supposition of our own. but upon the
basis of the oflldal statements of the railroads, tbe volnme ot travel
ts now so enormona In tbe South as to rob the railroads of the last pos
sible excuse for not giving a 1,000 mile book at" a 2-cent rate to the
commercial travelers and all who care to buy It.
W* would suggest to the festal meeting of the T. P. A. tonight,
upon which a previous engagement unfortunately prevents our attend-
anoe, that this would be an excellent topic ot dlscu**lon and an excel
lent dm* to approach tbe railroads upon their own declaration and to
aak for a 1-eent mileage book upon the basis ot th* official railroad
statement that the travel!! targe enough to justify it.

INDORSES TWO EDITORIALS.
To the Editor of The Oeorgian:
I hnve been very busy with court
mntlero or would have written you
before.
I wish to thank you for your strong
editorial of lost Monday on the subject
of the agricultural schools; also for
vour editorial on politics and educa
tion. There are no many time-serving
public men and •» many afraid to take
a position, for fenr of Injuring them
selves with somebody that It ta re
freshing U» know (her* Is on* paper
willing to apeak out. though, of course,
I do not mean to say that there ar*
not nthera.
It will require the utmost vlgtlaoo*
to keep thee* schools on th* right line.
Almost every effort throughout th*
country tor anything Ilk* practiced and
Industrial education, at least tot th*
mesa**, has failed, etui, strange to uy.
has met opposition oftentimes from
•durator*. the very men who should
know better.
Again thanking you nnd wishing you
much sucres, I am.
Very respectfully.
H. H. PKHRT.
