A New Yorker, who signs himself ST.
II. p" has sent to The Sun letter
which he lately received from IAN of1cer
very high in the councils Of the British
government" in which an interesting
statement is semi-oflcially made concern
ing the situation in South Africa. The let.
ter is an appeal to American citizens TO
stop encouraging the Beers. In many re-
spects II is a remarkable statement and
entirely unobjectionable. The writer rec
oenizes that the great majority of Amer
leans sympathize with their fellow-repu0-
licans of South Africa-a fact that Is now
recognized everywhere, commenting on
which The Springfield Republican says:
1.-The sympathy Britain gets in this
country for her destruction of republics
has been steadily declining ever since the
war began. Kruger could go from New
York to San Francisco and see thousands
of people cheering around his car, while
Chamberlain would see none.
1.-The most remarkable part of this letter
from the high British official, however, is
not his appeal to Americans to stop en-
couraging the Beers, or his frank assump-
ton that America is now pretty solidly
pro-Boer. The extraordinary thing about
it is his own explanation of the prolonged
war, in this closing passage:

TALLULAH FALLS, Ga, Sept. s.
Only two more weeks till the gates open
for the Blue Ridge and Tallulah Falls
exposition.
Superintendent Wilcox. from Mt. Airy.
is here now with a large force of hands
enclosing the grounds and erecting ad-
ditional buildings. The Cliff Hall and the
Blizzard house and boiling alley will all
be used for exhibits. while new build
ing is being constructed for machinery
hall. and sheds are being built for live
stock, poultry and pet animals.
Mrs. NJ. H. Gale, superintendent of nor
iculture, is having built log cabin, which
is to be an exact REPRODUCTION OF the
hermit's cabin about which there are so
many legends and in front of IL is being
erected an Indian mound to be covereG
with flowers.
The ladies are here every day now plan
ming and arranging their various depart
ments. Miss Sarah e. White. of Tallulah,
has interested the Federation of Women $
clubs in the opportunity for work among
the poor and illiterate women among the
mountains, and she expects quite a num-
Der of ladies from Atlanta and other
points,to visit the fair on this account.
Col. w. H. Grant from Clayton, passed
through here yesterday and reports that
the mountain people are surely coming
says more than 200 from around Clayton
will come and camp out around the falls
during the fair, and he says they will
nearly all bring down some specimens OF
minerals and hardwoods.
1t is estimated there will not be less
than 5000 people here from the mountains
of Georgia, North and South Carolina,
and even Tennessee.
While the beautiful fall weather. which
Just now is ideal among these mountains,
is sure to attract large crowds from the
cities. 1t is really the most attractive
season of the year to visit this section.
The fair management is providing lot
of free attractions to amuse the crowds,
but the most of those who come the

the climate will far more than repay
them for time and expense.

| tree directed the attack, the men with
I their splendid equipment would have fall
en- into the hands of the Spaniards. So it
! is with the church and with individuals.
BE the equipment what IT may, there must
be general, there must be a leader, there
must be one who, possessing the ability
and power and at the same time occupy
ing position above, wherefrom this van
tage ground he can look down upon his
forces, will direct the attack.
But again, we need a guide not simply
to direct while in action, but to lead the
hosts of the Lord all along the way. No
man would attempt to scale the lofty Alps
unaccompanied by a guide. The passes are
too wild, the precipices too steep. the way
too long. Night comes upon the lone trav-
eler and, wrapped in darkness, he knows
not where to turn, for to advance only
step may mean death.
So in scaling she Alps in life's pathway
we dare not proceed alone. The way is
rough the storms rage, the pitfalls and
stumbling stones are all around; dark
ness throws its pail upon the earth and
we know not where to plant the foot.
oh, in time like this we need a guide. A
guide who is able, who will persevere,
who is willing, whose eye is never closed
such one the Christian has in the Holy
Ghost.
In the third place, we learn not simply
that the Holy Ghost is the Christians
guide, and that the Christian needs his
guidance, but also that condition into
which those who are led by this guide are
introduced. They are the sons of God.
BY the working of the spirit in his heart
the Christian is enabled to cry, Abba.
Father, and in thus addressing God to
feel and realize what that intimate rela-
ton implies. For the spirit beareth wit
ness with our spirits that we are the
children of God, and, as Paul continues,
if children, then heirs of God and joint
heirs with Jesus Christ. Heir to what?
To that inheritance incOrruptible and un-
defiled and that fadeth not away Det.
la. We understand more now what
Christ meant when he said, I'm my Fa-
theirs house are many mansions" etc.
We are to be there with Christ, because
through the redemption purchased by
Christ, applied to us by the Holy Spirit,
that is our Fathers house, and as his
children we have a right to a joint heir
ship in these our Fathers possessions.
oh, trusting soul, wearied and worn by
the tolls and hardships of life, Inundated
by the judgments of this world, forlorn
and cast down by the failures of the past,
take courage, look up, hold high your
head. Let a new song burst from your
lips, rejoice and be exceeding glad. for
you are the child of King, the child of
the King of Kings; you shall inherit the
earth, yea, the heavens and the earth
For as many as are led by the Spirit of
God they are the sons of God.

School of Technology.

The following notice of the Georgia
School of Technology is taken from Shop

ical magazines in the country:
The annual announcement of the Geor-

is a very fat, very well printed and very
carefully compiled pamphlet telling a
great deal about what some authorities
consider the second important school of
it's class in the COUNTRY. The keynote
of this institutions thoroughness seems
to be summed up in the following para
graph:

is an admission that Britain Is imposing

would shake with laughter and he would
say:
