Georgia's Gold Mines.

Atlanta, Ga. May 3.-The visit
of ex-V1ce President Stevenson
and his parry to the gold mines
of northern Georgia has had a
wonderfully inspiring effect upon
those properties. Since they
came here al least half a million
dollars has been invested in va
rious schemes to work the mines
and there is very little doubt
that a gold boom will be on with
il the next few weeks. Just how
heavily Mr.. Stevenson is inter-
ested personally is not known
here, but he expressed on his de-
p%arture d very lively satisfacs
ton with the condition of affairs.
The properties which will first
be opened up are all adjacent to
the town Of Dahlonega, where
up till the time of the war the
United States Mint was situated.
Gold was first discovered around
Dahlonega f%fty-nine years ago.
The first operations on a large
scale were in placer mining, but
in time slIice mining was adopts
ed, and hundreds OF thousands
of dollars were spent in building
the many miles of bitches ana
pE*ting in the iron pipes and
stamp mills. One mine mas for
ty- five miles of bitches and
sluices. The war desolated this
entire country and most Of the
mines were abandoned, although
they had paid we'll while in opes
ration.

THF BAPTIST CONVENTION

The interest felt in the forth
coming Southern Baptist Cons
vention, which meets in VIII

widespread.
The annual convention of the

body, numerically, which meets
South of Mason and DlXon'S line.
In this connection the Ameri-

TO the Memory of Washington.

It is hard to tell how much
sincerity there was in the recent
demonstration in honor Of Genes
raj Grant. It could not be called
spontaneous, for no show could
have been better advertised and
worked up in advance and it is
not difficult to conceive that the
same efficient organization could
have attracted equal attention
had TIE object been altogether
different.
This is not said in derogation
Of the Grant display, but only to
emphasize the fact that a pubic
demonstration requires prepare
ton III advance. 1t is an acciden-
tai coincidence that the long des
ferred dedication Of the monu-
ment to Washington in Philadel-
phia is to follow close after the
Grant ceremonial in New York,
andboth our civic pride and our
patriotic convictions require that
there shall be no contrast unfa.
vorable either to our city or to
the object of our commemCration.
1t need not disturb US that the
monument itself is less costly
and imposing than the great
mausoleum erected in New York.
Washington has many monu-
ments-indeed, the national caps
ital itself may be regarded as a
splendid memorial of his name
and this one to be added to them
is the special commemoratiun of
the soldier by his comrades in
arms that has it's fit place in the
city SO closely associated with
his military and civic renoWn. Its
sculptural importance as well as
the circumstances Of it's erection
give it unusual dignity and We
may be proud to accept it as
Pennsylvania's tribute to the
Father of His Country.
We suppose that the Warmest
eulogists of Grant will not place
his services above those of
Washington or claim for him a
warmer place in the affections of
the people. But since our COM
memoration of Washington thus
falls in immediate association
with the noble commemoration
of Grant near by. very much
will depend upon the sincere en-
thusiasm Of the community to
make this demonstration really
worthy of its object.
We shall not have as big a
parade as they had in New York,
but it is likely to be one Of the
finest military parades ever seen
here and there are other features
of the day that ought to attract
a great crowd from all the coun>
try around. The attendance of
the President and of the Govern
+ Of many States, as well as Of
the various military representa-.
tions, will give the occasion gen
eral significance, and the people
of Pennsylvania should deter-
mine to make the 18th of May a
day to be remembered to the
honor of the State aud the glory
of

Mountains to Escape the
Ruthless Enemy.

Athens, May 3.-Reports that
reach here show that the Turk
ish soldiery. though checked by
their officers in the towns, are
committing hideous atrocities in
the rural districts of Thessaiy.
The Albanian troops at Ear
kos, about twenty miles west of
Larissa, bave nassacred some of
the inhabitants of that place.
Others would, no doubt, have
been killed had it not been for
the officers. who interviewed to
protect the helpless people. The
Albanians seemed determined to
massacre-all the Christians in
tue pace, and the officers had
much d fflaulty in rescaing the
residents.
The bulk Of he population of
Thessaly r St badly frightened
at the prospect of encountering
the Turks that trey are fleeing
for safety to the mountains.
1t is evident from the clothing
found upon the Turks who were
killed in the several attacks
upon Velestino and from articles
found on the bodies that there
was much piIlaging when the
Moslems took possession of Lar
issa.
