. 4 Homan's Prophecy.

Nine. de Thebes. who predicted the
Paris charity bazaar fire and Presi-
dent Carnot's assassination, has fixed
up a bunch OF trouble for 1906. Ma
dame, pleasantly, even gaily, states
that 1906 will be = wild year, full Of
strange, extravagant, incomprehensible
and astonishing madnesses. She pre-
diets that Germany will be threatened
with general smash early in the year;
that South America is to be torn with
upheavals that an uncomfortable cpl
demic is to sweep this country; that
Belgium will play a curious part in
the transformation OF Europe: that the
attention OF the world will be centered
on Turkey and the near East; and that
there will be serious losses in the art
world.
How refreshing It would be IL some
OF these people who read the future
like an open book would see something
pleasant sometimes and tell about 1t.

and better disposition OF the com.
forts OF life.
IL would be ungracious to cay that
all this is due to the influence OF men
from the North, and il would be I'M
true as well as ungracious; but IL Is
nevertheless a fact that the ideas
which dominated in the old days
were not adapted to the best use OF
southern resources and opportunities
for development, and that these old
ideas had to surrender to new and
better plans and methods before the
south which is now rapidly develop
ing could be possible. One OF the
strongest forces in the new movement
is the stream OF Northern blood and
capital which has flowed into the
beautiful Southern land since the
days of reconstruction. And | repeat,
because it cannot be said with too
much emphasis, that Georgia knows
this. appreciates it, and wants more OF
it.
These are facts which may be prop
erly taken into consideration by North
ern people who are looking for homes
They are quite as important as soil,
climate and markets. In this connec-
ton, | am tempted to make final
quotation from Mr.. Hunt. because II
has an important bearing upon the
social life OF the region and is dis
tinctly in line with my own observa-
ton.
"The caste instinct is always resi-
dent in the brain OF the white man.
North or South. be he Catholic, Prot
estant or Quaker. In the North, this
finds expression in social distinction
based on the possession OF wealth and
culture. South, the caste instinct
finds so much greater differences in
inherent civilization, in the white
race, against inherent barbarism in
the black race, that the caste senti-
ment justifies itself in dividing the
white from the black. Hence. there
exists fuller democracy among all
white people in the South than else
where. Here, minor social differences
are annulled by the one great caste
distinction. This condition gives freer
play to altruistic social usage among
the white people here than in other
parts OF our country"

that the North has not sent many
men down South who have accom-
pEshed as much in raising the eco
nomlc standard as Benjamin w. Hunt
has done, II Is none the less true that
Southern cities and towns, and par
ucularly Atlanta, are full Of Northern
men who are injecting a new spirit
into the life of the region. And 1t
Is vastly creditable to the native stock
that they welcome enterprising men
from north of Mason and Dixon's
Line and glory in their achievements
IL they are less proud OF the new
conner than OF the old-timer they GER
tainly conceal the fact. The truth
seems to be that the whole community
n permeated by the spirit OF enter
prise which these Northern men have
brought, and ii seems to be reflected
in the buildings, the stores, the no
tells, and in the faces and bearing OF
the people themselves.
The population Of Atlanta and its
Immediate suburbs is now probably
about 10000 and Is rapidly growing,
at least twice as rapidly as the pop
ulation OF the United states. But its
business, as evidenced by bank clear
fngs and postal receipts, is growing
much faster than its population.
This business is largely In the form
OF manufacturing. although the whole
sale trade is also expanding 70 enor-
nous proportions The growth OF
railway, telegraph and telephone sys-
TENS naturally keeps pace with trade,
manufacture and population All this
requires constant activity in building
operations and the employment OF an
increasing army of labor. In other
words, Atlanta and the great State
OF Georgia OF which FL is the metrOp-
oils, are enjoying an era OF extraor-
binary prosperity.
