The Vacation Boarding Business.

The return of spring and the proxim-
ity of warm days, suggests once more
the growing Importance of the vacation
boarding business.
The first state to take official notice
OF the existence OF this pursuit is New
Hampshire, which covers the subject
through its bureau of labor This bu-
reau has secured returns from every
town in the state with regard to the
number of city people who come to it
In the summer, the prices paid by them
for board. and suggestions for increas-
ing the income OF the state by encour-
aging new boarders to come to it. The
report shows that there is invested In
that one New England state over $10,-
OCG,0C0 in accommodations for summer
guests. and the belief is expressed that
II tho rural sections of the state make
the most of their opportunities the
annual income realized will be from
fifteen TO twenty million dollars.
a business which can yield such re-
turns is one inviting enough to attract
the attention of the people. and sug-
gests what a bonanza is ahead of north
Georgia IL il was but worked up. The
line Of development is not in the erec-
ton of high-priced hotels where the
rate would be from SO to s. day. but
Of comfortable, ,cleanly accommodations
which could be furnished for that much
week. The Boston newspapers, for in
stance, are filled with advertisements
from farmers all over the state, re-
counting what they have to offer, in
reply to which they hear from people
wanting lust such places
Suppose for instance. Farmer Jones,
OF Gilmer county. having accommoda-
tions for two, three or more persons,
for the months of June. July and Au-
gust. should make that fact known
through The Constitution. he would be
certain to hear from some one, and
would he that much ahead in his years
business. This could be multiplied in
definitely. advertisers stating attrac-
tions or features which might COM
mand attention. There is. for instance.
mother with two children who de-
sires to spend three months in the
country. She does not want 10 go to an
expensive hotel. she does not know to
whom to apply for accommodations.
for which she would be willing to pay
a reasonable sum. Is there not some
farmer in Cherokee county. with an
extra room and more milk and butter
than he can consume? Why not make
himself known, so that the city mother
may find him? Five to ten thousand
Atlanta people alone will summer it
somewhere. They might just as we'll
scatter through the mountains OF GeOr-
eia If the people living there will but
take hold of the business.
Ten million dollars n year thrown
into an agricultural section is a large
amount of money. and the attractions
OF north Georgia are certainly equal to
those OF New Hampshire, only the peo-
pie concerned do not seem to know it.

A Declaration and Its Answer.

Among the interesting events which
have marked the sessions OF the ecu
menical missionary conference now 60
ing on i'm New York. was one in which
Bishop Thoburn rather ran afoul of the
prevailing sentiment
The bishop was discussing the pend
ing criticism of Biblical literature.
when he said:
Perhaps at no time I'm tho century has
there been so much questioning among
the Bible students. SO many misgivings
and doubts as in the last year. Ii would
seem as II new r8llying point were
needed. Perhaps too much time has been
devoted 10 the Bible. The true foundation
Is Jesus Christ. The Revealer IS Of much
greater Importance than the revealed.
At first the full meaning of these
words was not fully comprehended.
When il became plain that the sugges-
ton leant to the theory of abandoning
tho book in an appeal TO the author,
dissent was manifested through DR..
Arthur +. Pierson, who declared that
the conference must make no mistake
in declaring for the integrity of the
Bible. lie said that Bishop Thoburn's S
paper might be misunderstood easily,
and pointed out that IT was impossible
10 lAhpdlI lhc Integrity oi lhe Nilbtcl
Word without impairing the living
Word, and concluded:
Whatever hurts the infalltbility or in
teeritv Of the Word hurts the integrity
and impars the character of Jesus
Christ
The conference did well in sustaining
the position OF Mr.. Pierson. To have
done less would have been to abandon
the most important outpost of revealed

Concerning the Sultan.

The refusal of the sultan to be stam-
peded by the demand for indemnity
for outrages committed in his empire
IS having the effect OF BRINGING out
some very rare opinions.
The sultan has been looked upon as
a cruel despot. His people have been
referred ia as the "unspeakable Turks"
and the condition prevailing through
out the ottoman empire has been de-
scribed as one of dense ignorance and
nersecution. The utterance of such
views as have come from General Lew
Wallace and Hon. \. ". Terrell. for
mer ministers to Constantinople, are
certainly new and instructive. If true.
il is a pity that these gentlemen should
have been so long silent about a mat
ter concerning which the people need
ell information. According to General
Wallace the sultan is n high minded.
intelligent gentleman with thoroughly
Christian principles growing out OF his
education In Europe. Mr.. Terrell de-
clares that the sultan is an honest man.
and that he was the most intellectual
man he met while in Europe. These
views. so in contradiction with our
preconceived ideas. make necessary a
reconsideration OF the whole Turkish
question. Have We been doing injus-
tice TO n large portion of the human
race which believes in the doctrine of
Mahomet9 We are under obligation to
do unto Others as we would they should
do unto us. and If we have been doing
Injustice TO the Turkish character it
would become us to set about a recon-
sideration OF that error.

A ..Plain Duty"-How To Perform 1t

When the performance Of a plain
duty" is spoken Of rs something diitl-
cult Of performance. il IS helpful to
find examples Of how to proceed about
doing IL in an emergency.
From an article which appears else
where. IL will be found that United
States Senator Vest found himself con-
fronted by n plain duty. the perform

lent votes Of Philadelphia had decTeed
that PENNSYLVANIA should remain a
republican state. why not Mr.. Quay as
the best man. especially rs he was pos
scSscd 81 other qualities which tied
men 10 him? Mr.. QUAY had met a
streak of hard luck. one republican
faction crossed his path and rendered
his ra-eIcCtiUn t. the senate impossible.
In the recess the governor gave him

stood awaiting the action % his former
colleagues behind him stool the re-

democrat and matchless constitutional
lawyer. could go. any democrat might

Here II was that Nr. Vest was con-
frOnted with the question Of plain
duty. The man n the bar was his
friend: and Senator Vest is not the

that relation. Democrats ranging by

and Mr. Vests vote. which would have

simply this, as plain as language can

which our government is founded are
not as important as the party organi-
zation which is preaching that these

doned.

stitution has recently taken that Ofli-
GERS should not receive double pay, The
Chattanooga Times has this to say:
Admiral Dewey's pay is $4,000 a year.
General Otis's pay is $500 a year. The
admiral IS not subject to retirement. His
pay is full for life. Otis's retired pay
would be S5625 a year. n man at sixty

as a retired army officer at no expense
for style" These facts, under all the
circumstances, make the proposition 10
pay these officers $4,000 for some purely
routine work that could have been done.
probably, as we'll without them, work
that involved no manner of responsibility
and was of no special benefit to the coun-
try-the demand is dishonest and the rec
ommendation of the president is an act of
cowardice.
Since the demand made by these Of
ficers for double pay it has developed,
through the inquiry of Senator Bacon,
OF Georgia, that a number of officers
in Cuba and Porto Rico have been in
regular receipt of double pay, contin-
uing to draw salaries for the military
duty from which they were detailed
while drawing still larger pay for the
civil duties to which they had been as
signed. This is establishing the vicious
policy which lay at the root of Spain's
misgovernment of her colonies. which
finally resulted in her loss of them al
together. Thus it was to the interest
of the military ring to keep up contin-
ued disorder in the colonies in order
that the double pay might be kept up
indefinitely.
In the case OF General Otis it would
become triple pay for one year-$7,500
for his major generalcy, $4,000 for
membership in the commission and sS.-
coo for the governor generalcy. or $685.
500 in all.
The system is an outrageous one.
