by many as the greatest living
American. True greatness, of
the sort that commands the ven
Grafton as well as the recognition
OF mankind, is not the lot of the
mere fnanCier of soldier or poll
tician. Talents alone does not
make true greatness; for the
highest talents may be enlisted

requires, as it looks to the past
for ideals and to the future for
higher levels of achievement, not
only talents, deviation not only

tons as well as the dangerous
discomfort of the many. He is
against the special privileges
and abuse of the trusts, as well
as the attacks upon judicial
maintenance of law and order
and the inviobility Of the nations
financialho
There need be little doubt
that Mr.. Cleveland would an cleo
ton to the presidency for the
third time. He would never ask
for the place or engage in ma
nipulations for it. But if from
this Chicago speech his country
men should think that the idea
he puts forth are so needed in
our public life as to require their
exponent and exemplar in the
presidential chair, he would ex-
cept the place, with all it's care
and annoyances and sacrifices,
for the opportunity it affords for
advancing the cause of good citi-
zensbip which he is so anxious
to serve.
This is how the truly great
man always feels about great
tasks. 1t is as impossible for
him to put aside the opportuni-
ty of achieving for humanity
what he knows he can achieve as
it is for him to struggle for the
prize as the spoil of selfish am
bition.-Americus Press.

There are at least three papers
in Georgia edited by men who
would have made good Tillman
jurors, and who justify the action
of the jury for Acquiring the
murderer of Gonzales, which
was evidently composed of at
least ten henchmen of the Till
man faction of that state.
AS rule the press of Georgia
and every other state so far as
we have been able to observe,
strongly condem the verdict and
dep1ore the conditions that made
such an abortion of justice
possible.

GREATER GEORGIA WORK IS PUSHED
How the Advertising Campaign is Con.
Quoted. Inquiries Come in Daily.

The Greater Georgia Associ-
atoms campaign of publicity
opened with the Georgia Num-
Der of Harper's Weekly, issued
a few days ago, and for several
weeks advertisements exploiting
the resources OF this State have
been running in daily news
papers of the Northern cities
and farm journals of the West
ern States, These advertise
ments have a total circulation of
nearly two millions and reach the
best farming region and the
most prosperous manufacturing
and commercial centers on the
continent.
The cheap lands of the far
West have so far filled up that
prices have advanced and immi-
grafton is looking in other direc-
tons. The Canadian Govern
ment, by liberal advertising, has
induced about hundred thous-
and people to leave the North
western States for the Dominion
IN two years. The Southwest
ern railroads are spending i'm
mense sums advertising in tn
Northwest and have taken thous-
ands OF people into Mississippi.
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and
Oklahoma. The tide of immi-
grafton is turning southwark
and the Greater Georgia Associ-
alton has begun its work at an
opportune time.
Letters Of inquiry from people
of both cities and country dis
tricts are coming in daily and the
names and addresses of the in.
quirers are forwarded promptly
to the thirty towns which contri-
butte to the work of the associ-
alton. At The same time letters
and attractive literature COVERING
the whole State are sent to each
inquirer from the central Office
in Atlanta. The thirty towns
followed with their own 1itera-
ture and letters, pressing their
particular advantages. In this
way every person who answers
the advertisements Of the Grea-
ter Georgia Association will re-
ceiye in three or four days all
the information he can digest
about Georgia and its most pro-
gressive communities. The names
of inquirers are also given to the
industrial departments of the
principal railway systems in
Georgia and those officials are
sending solicitors to see them.
Thus with the help of railways
the Greater Georgia Association
is able to send an agent into al
most auy State of the Union to
follow up its correspondence and
advertising matter with person
al solicitation in pressing the
claims of Georgia upon those
who show any interest in the
State.

Peary's Polar Expedition.

On his return from Europe recently
Commander Peary said there was no
truth in the report that he had nego-

his next expedition to the Polar seas.
Commander Peary said he probably
would leave New York in July and try
to reach the north shore of Grantland
and camp there until the coming OF
spring, when the dash to the pole will
be attempted.
Il will make the hardest try to reach
the pole that has yet been made. II

for the rest. am confident that l shall
reach the pole. / am familiar with con-
ditions and I have the experience.

what will have to contend with. An
other reason is that have reached that
stage in my acquaintance with the
EsQuimaux that l can utilize them as

also find a way to get back to the
ship"
Commander Peary said that his wife
would not accompany him this time.

FOOT BALL LOSSES.
Summary Of Dead and Wounded Of the
Last Campaign.

Summary Of Dead and Wounded Of the
Last Campaign.
A Chicago dispatch says that nine
teen lives were lost on the foot bali
field during lhe season Of 1903. One
boy was driven insane from injuries.
Thirteen players were disabled, some
Of them being disabled for life. The
number of minor but painful accidents
goes into the hundreds and the list
OF the severely injured Is also neces
sarily incomplete.
Tho feature Of the years tabulation
is that 1t shows serious casualties
were practically confined to unframed
players. No member Of any OF the
frst-class elevens was killed or perma-
nently disabled. One Yale player and
one Harvard player suffered 6 broken
leg. No player in any OF the teams
OF the big Nine" in the West was
the victim of any hurt worse than a
wrenched shoulder, bruised head.
a sprained knee or a turned ankle.
In consequence on the injuries sus-
tanned by their players several OF the
minor schools have forbidden the game
of foot ball. Two towns-Columbu
Junction, Pennsylvania. and Greenfield.
Ohio-have stopped the sport as the
result of petitions circulated by par
ents.

Prob ibition in the South.

In Tennessee. on September 1st,
there were eightyfour dry" counties,
and but twelve in which liquors could
be sold. In Arkansas seventy-five
counties are dry" and forty-three
wet" IN Georgia the proportion is 1877
to 1903; in Mississippi. 65 to 10. In
ten southern states the voters have
the opportunity to cast their ballots
against licensing the manufacture or
sale of liquors. and in one-South Car
olina-it is state monopoly. That
the South is fast becoming prohibition
ist is attributed to the suppression OF
the negro vote.
