men of that splendid city nothing i'm
pressed me so much as the pride they
take in relating the achievements of
some of the bright men who have
come down from the North, to Join
hands with the old native stock in de-
veloping the country.
They told me of one remarkable
man who came from New York in
1876, and proceeded to make himself a
leader in several different lines of
work, all of which are related to the
prosperity of the whole region rather
than to that of an individual or of a
single community. The story is well
worth telling, because it shows that
human resources are quite as import
ant as the material advantages which
are usually grouped under the head of
natural resources, such as climate,
soil timber and minerals. A country
may be richly endowed with the lat
ter, but it must find the genius to use
them in the best way before it can be
great country. This fact is fully
appreciated in Georgia. which is con-
sequently proud of the enterprising
men it has attracted into its citizen
ship from other parts of the United
States and anxious to get more OF
them.

Liberal politician, though the daughter
Of an old Tory squire. Major S. F. Wild
drington (whose ancestor is men
toned in the ballad of Chevy
Chase) and her personal popularity in
the Border Country was responsible for
much of it's liberalism. For Sir Ed
ward she worked necessarily and bril-
liantly, from his first political cam
paign, two months after his marriage
in 1885. down to the last battle, from
whose triumph she had been so trag-
ically called away.
Lady Grey had large desk at Fal,
loden devoted to political papers, ans,
wered many of Sir Edwards letters,
frequently took notes at his opponents
meetings of points in the speeches
which she thought needed reply.

FAYORS PoUR-YEAR TERM
BOURKE COCHRAN DECLARES 1T
VILL INCREASE EEFICIENCI
OF THE HOUSE.

Under Present Two Years VeSn,
He Says More Time Is Spens IN
Looking for Reelection than IN
Law Making for the Nation.
Bourke Cochran, of New York, who
has introduced constitutional amenu-
ment making the term Of office OF a
member of the House four years, IN
stead of two years, as at present, pc
lieves that such a change from exist
ing conditions would be all that is es-
sential to establish the predominence
of the House over the Senate, II the
House only saw fit to exercise the
power lodged in it by the Constitu-
ton.
Discussing the subject recently, Mr.
Cochran said:
There is but one change, one
amendment, that, in my judgment,
could possibly increase the conse-
quence or capacity of the House to de-
fend itself, and that will be simply the
question of the term of a member. l
am perfectly willing to admit that, as
at present constituted, where a MEM
ber is chosen for two years, we are
placed in the position that just as
soon as member takes his seat in
Congress and begins the discharge OF
his duties he is at once thrust in the
throes of a contest for reelection.

FIGHTS GALORE
SATURDAY NIGHT
At Least Score Were Pulled on
in Places of Business and
On the Streets.

Saturday night was record
breaker for fights. Perhaps, not
within several years have so many
taken place here. but fortunately
there were NO very bad ones. n
one place on Pike street seven were
pulled of within an hour. In an
other there were three and all told
there must have been fully score.
Saturday was pay day at the various
mines. The men were paid OF early
and early in the afternoon the street
cars came in loaded with passengers.
This was constantly kept up all the
afternoon and evening. Many left
before nightfall but returned later,
The stream Of humanity was greater
than on circus day. The stores and
saloons all had a big business and
the fights capped the climax The
police were powerless to maintain
the best of order. though they did
remarkably well under the circum-
stances.
