The ArIington Disnster.

The terrific wind storm which swept
over Arlington, Blakely and other places
in the extreme southwestern portion of
the state yesterday carried death and de-
struction in its path. How many were
killed and injured and how much property
was destroyed will not be known probably
for several days, because 1t will take
time to get reports from the country dis
tricts In the towns that were in the
path Of the storm the destruction of life
and property was awful. The tragedy at
the Arlington high school was heartrend-
ing AS 1t turned out. it would have been
far better for the children to have remain
ed outside of the school building. They
were called into the building for safety,
and it was the place of danger. The prin-
cipal of the school, however, could not
know that the storm would be such a ter
rife one He did what he thought was for
the best
There are many sad homes in Arlington
and in other parts of the storm-swept
section. The voices of many children
which but yesterday were fun of music for
those who loved them, are stilled forever.
And many other children and men and
women are suffering from wounds inflict-
ed by the storm.
1t is but seldom that we have such dis
asters in Georgia. They belong to the
wind-inviting prairies of the west. There
cyclones wreck towns with startling sud
denness, carrying death to hundreds and
destroying in minute or two the results
of many years of labor
We have wind storms here in the south,
and very severe ones, but they do not
come and go like cyclones do, nor are
they so destructive TO life and property.
This wind storm that swept over part
| of Southwest Georgia yesterday appears
to be an exception. When the list of kill
ed and wounded shall be completed 1t will
be found probably to rank with those
which are the terrors of the west.

The Grain Shipments.

New York is greatly disturbed because
she has lost her grain trade, and her
business men are trying to find out why
she has lost it. For years they entertain
ed the pleasant delusion that having the
Erie canal they could always control it.
They have discovered that the canal is
not as important a factor as they thought
il was. They now charge that the rail-
roads leading to Baltimore, Newport
News. New Orleans and Galveston from'
the west have been cutting rates, and the
interstate commerce commission is trying
to find out If this charge Is true. Some of
the witnesses. whose places of business
are in New York, said that they shipped
through other ports than New York be-
cause # was cheaper to do so. A differ
ence of one-eighth of one cent a
bushel, they declared, was sufficient 10
change the channel through which the
grain of the west reached the seaboard.
We are not so much interested in New
York's loss of the grain trade as we are
in having Savannah gain a part of that
trade few months ago it was the I'M
Outstanding that the Central railroad
was making preparations 10 Drlng gram
from the west to this port for shipment
abroad We have heard nothing about
the matter lately. Has the Central aban-
doned its purpose to make Savannah
grain shipping port? If so, for what rea-
son?
The Central has splendid western con-
nections and it is quite certain that lower
ocean freight rates can be obtained here
than at either New Orleans or Galveston.
Grain can be taken in cotton laden ships
without greatly lessening the amount of
cotton the ships carry. These cotton
ships can take grain as advantageously
as they take phosphate rock. If there are
nsurmountable difficulties in shipping
grain through this port what are they?
we have never heard Of them. on the
contrary, the railway managers have per-
mitted it to be understood that grain
would soon be shipped through this port.
What then is the cause of the delay in
making shipments?

President Browns statement.

1t Is noticeable that the statement made
by Mr. J. Pope Brown. the newly elected
president of the State Agricultural So
ciety, that the material condition OF the
farmers of this state is better than at
any time within the last twenty years. is
questioned by some of those who are
known to favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the present ratio
They don't want to have it understood
that the farmers are getting along fairly
well. They are afraid if the farmers re-
gard themselves as prosperous the agita-
ton in favor of debased currency would
die out Hence, they attack President
Browns statement, and endeavor to i'm
press upon the farmers that they are not
prosperous.
Facts, however, are stubborn things,
and president Brown appeared to be well
fortified with facts. He spoke from ex-
perience and observation, and those who
question the correctness of his statement
rely almost wholly upon assertions. The
people are well able to distinguish be-
tween facts and assertions, and therefore
there Is not much danger that they will
be misled by what the free silver agitators
say.
The farmers are beginning to under
stand that it is much better for them that
the currency OF the country should be
sound and stable than that it should be
debased and fuctuating. The countries
which have a debased and 1luctuating
currency are not satisfied with it, and the
history of money teaches that the farm
ers are among the greatest sufferers from
such a currency The countries which
have that kind of a currency are trying
to get rid of it-at least Japan and Russia
are When we had a fiuctuatng paper cur
rency, we got to gold payments as soon
as we could, and the years that immedi-
ately followed our getting there were the
most prosperous in our history. 1t is
safe to say that our prosperity would
have continued If we had not yielded in
any degree TO the agitation in behalf of
silver. The stuffing of our currency with
cheap silver dollars gradually destroyed
confidence and brought on a panic. from
which we are still slowly recovering. Let
the farmers stand by sound money and
they will have a much greater degree of
prosperity than they would if the agita-
ton in behalf Of free silver should be sue
cessful

DIR. Abbott Shut Ont.


1t must be rather painful to Rev. DR.
Lyman Abbott, pastor of Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, to know that he is not
thought to be very good Christian by
many people who regard themselves as
good Christians. Ever since he preached
that sermon in which he declared he did
not believe the Jonah and whale story
there has been a disposition on the part
of orthodox Christians to regard him as
a lost sheep.
Last week he was barred out OF the
hall of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation of Philadelphia. The Hicksite
Quakers of that city had engaged him
TO deliver two lectures on the Bible, and
had engaged the hall of the Young Mems
Christian Association for the lectures. The
hall was engaged before the sermon On
Jonah and the whale was delivered. When
the association read the accounts of that
sermon 1t decided that it would not be
advisable for DIR. Abbott TO lecture in its
hail. and the good .Quakers were noti-
fled that they would have to secure an
other hail. because the association feels
| itself responsible for what is said and done
in it's hail. The good Quakers, being men
of peace, did not murmur though they
| thought the association displayed rather
intolerant spirit.
DR.. Abbott delivered his lectures in
Philadelphia, but not in the hall of the
Young Mems Christian Association. He
refused to talk about the matter, saying
that he thought the less said about it
the better. He was undoubtedly wise in
| taking that position; and 1t seems to us
| that the Young Mems Christian Assocl-
alton would have acted with more wis
dom if it had not shown such a degree
| of intolerance. 1t could not have harmed
| the association in the least TO have per-
mitted DIR. Abbott to lecture in its hall. 1t
would not have been an admission that
the association Endorsed his views any
more than renting its hall to theosophist
| would have committed it to theosophy.
! on the other hand, by barring out Dr.
Abbott the association left room for the
thought that it is afraid to have the Bible
| discussed freely. A thought of that sort
| is calculated to do harm, especially among
those who are in doubt as to what to be-
lieve in respect to some things in the
| Bible. A free discussion is mucn better
from every point Of view than suppress
sion where the Bible is concerned. Those
who have the utmost faith in the teach
ings of the Bible are well able to de-
| fend that book.
DR.. Abbott is not able to sustain his po-
sition that the Jonah and whale story
is fiction. He was asked the other day
if he forgot that the story of Jonah had
the Endorsement of Christ. the reference
being to Christ's words in regard to il
as recorded in Matthew. In reply he
said he did not believe Christ ever ut
| tered such words. In order therefore to
sustain his position in respect to Jonah
and the whale he is forced to deny other
parts of the Bible What would be left
of the Bible II each Biblical scholar were
accepted as an authority as to what IS
| true in the Bible?
