A. GIRLS SCHOOL AT AMERICUs.

Americas would be an ideal place
for girls school, an academy that
would serve as preparatory school
for the colleges. We have an ideal
climate here during the months that
such a school would be in session,
October to May, inclusive, we have
surroundings that few small cities of
fer, and conditions as to healthful-
ness that are unsurpassed Ia this or
any other section.
The thought suggests itself as an
outgrowth of the recent sale of Prof
Van HOSES interest In Brenau Col
lege, that by a display of the proper
institution with such a capable man at
it's head Prof Van Hose, it is said,
will spend the next year travelling in
Europe, and on his return will probably
undertake the establishment of an
other college for girls somewhere IN
the South. Where could he find a
better location than right here in
Americas, the heart of large terri
tory that is growing steadily in wealth
and culture
Americas might we'll aspire to be
the home of a model institution of
this character. 1t would be an adj
mirable advertisement for the city, it
would draw to it, in all likelihood, q
large number of young ladies and in
terest their parents and other rela-
tives and friends in the city, it would
eventually aid materially in the city's
growth. From any standpoint such
a school would be tremendous ad-
vantage to the city.
Why not give this matter careful
consideration? The opening is here,
the opportunity is at hand, all that is
needed, in all likelihood, is a display
of enterprise on our part, a showing
of interest on our part sufficient to
arouse corresponding interest in
Prof, Van Hoose or some other edu-
Gator contemplating the establish
ment of such a school.

CLEANS UP A MILLION
By TURN IN COTTON
Patten Adds a Dollar TO
His Store.
Began Buying Cotton
When Futures Were
Below 9 Cents

New York. Sept. 28.-James A. Pat
ten took the train for Chicago Satur-
day afternoon, and left Wall street to
figure as to how much of its money
he took with him in the shape of
profits on his recent flyer in cotton.
These estimates varied yesterday, ae-
cording to the imagination of the COM
putator
The most conservative guessers
placed Mr.. Patterns winnings at ST.
100000 The Spectator was non
committal on the subject when a re-
porter saw him in the office of Car
penter, Baggot & Co.. where he usual
ly makes his headquarters.
my operations undoubtedly show
me a profit" said he, but the amount
of these profits really doesn't con-
Germ the public very much, I should
say. Cotton, however, is going still
higher; the movement is by no means
over"
Many brokers believe Patten came
to New York to sell a heavy line of
cotton which he had been accumu-
lating for months. His commitments,
these men declare, were mostly in
the near by options. such as October
and December.
Patten began accommodating cotton
hC
selling at S.37. OF course all the
holdings of the Patten pool were not
accumulated as low at S.37, nor sold
as high as 1852.
1t is entirely possible that Patten' S
| individual holdings have been 1000
bales of cotton. A margin of a bale
would have required an investment
of only 100000, and an average profit
| of only SIS a bale, a1liwing for in and
out trading. would show an apparent
profit of $1,500,000.
Patten is great believer in pub
licity at certain stages of his opera
lions. He was not publicly bull on
| CoItOu Wien ne DeSdH buying last
spring. The first time he took the
public into his confidence, in his pres
ent operations, was on Tuesday, when
he gave out interviews that cotton
would go to II or IS cents.
While the identity of the pool has
not been actually disclosed it is be-
| lieved that Mr.. Patten has been work
ing with the Scales syndicate, and
that recently the pool was augmented
by the addition of w. P. Brown and
Frank B. Hayne.

MURPHY GAMBLER VS.. DICK RUS.
SELL.

Politics wont down in Georgia.
There has been a decided revival of
interest by two recent events, the
speech by Murphy Gambler on rail-
road taxation in this state and the
birth of the thirteenth child of Judge
Dick Russell
The impression is growing that Muir
ply Gambler is the favorite of the
Smith faction for the next guberna-
torial race, unless Hoke Smith him
self desires to enter the ring against
Little joe" While it may not be so,
Gamblers speech on taxation under
the Smith regime in Georgia seems
very much like the first gun. 1t was
an elaborate defence of the recent adj
ministration and an emphatic denial
of the charge that it had been tyran-
meal in it's use of the taxation power
so far as transportation corporations
are concerned 1t was very much
just such speech as ex-Gov. Smith
himself would be likely to deliver if
he were running again and on the
defensive as to his past policies in
this respect.
Politicians who keep their fingers on
the public pulse declare privately
that Murphy Gambler, while he would
make a good race, would not find
himself possessing the elements OF
strength that he probably believes are
his. Gambler has, tits said, alienated
many strong men by his rabid adher-
ence to the Smith program and has
not the purely personal strength that
the united Smith forces behind him
he would, of course, make a formida-
BILE candidate. But could the master
| deliver the goods to the follower
Would the entire Smith strength rally
| around the Gambler banner?
AS to Judge RUSSELL the chief fac
| tor in his former race for the govern
orship was the fact that race suicide
| was unknown in his immediate viein
| ity. He only had twelve children a
| that time. The fact that he now has
thirteen of course increases his holt
on the public esteem and confidence
by one-twelfth, or is it one-thirteenth'
| The fact that the newcomer is thu
seventh son, and that Dick himsel
| was a seventh son introduces an ele
ment of strength that only fortune
| teller can adequately measure. The
only really serious objection to Judge
Russell as a candidate is that the
state would probably be PIT TO the ex
pense of building an annex to the gu
| bernatorial mansion to make room
| for the family. And even then, if he
were to serve two terms, additional
rooms might have to be provided later
| on.
But between Gambler and Russell
between railroad taxation and large
and larger families, we can imagine
a campaign that would reduce the
Smith-Brown scrap of 1908 to the
| proportions of a tempest in the tea
pot alongside of the recent tornado or
! the gulf coast.

 Theodore Roosevelt, the president of the United States, lives in a glass house with even glass floor In 1t, and caution should teach him tc have some regard for the old adage. He has exerted all the powers of the government to destroy me, but l feel that I stand unscathed, because if all other governments fail to con vince men. the character of rectiude. the truthfalness, and honesty which have burded in the 6l years of my life will at last be my bulwark,
 Men who have always been clean and honorable do not suddenly be- come liars and hypocrits at 6l with out the sterpest necessity.

For the present I content myself with apply ing to him this quotation from sDen. cer's Earle Queen:
 He ranges throughout the whole world. neither is there any that can restrain him. Of late he has grown especially presumptuous and pestilent barking at and biting all alike, whether they be blameworthy or in- nocent. None are free from his at. tacks.

THE OLD GUARD ARE PASSING.

For years the United States senate was a bulwark for the great corpora ,ions that wrested illegal profits out of this country and ruthlessly strippe it of its resources. Standard oil, the Steel Trust. the Railroad Ring, the Coal Barous. the Lumber Trust; all were represented by their paid ennis saries and to pass legislation euimical to corporate interests was we'll nigh impossible. This chosen band of paid political prostitutes were apty named the "Old Guard"
 Corporate corruption is still rife, but 1t is a.healthrul sign of the times that one by one the staunch members of the "old Guard" who died but did not surrender" are being sue ceeded by clean, progressive and able legislators, who are elected directly by the people and who will safeguard the peoples interests. The introduc- ton of the primary election law, which practically means that the peo- pie elect United States senators, Is largely responsible for this,
 Foraker of ohio, a loyal servant of the Standard Oil, has been succeeded by Burton. Wesley Jones Of Washing. ton displaces the incompetent and often drunken Aukeny Fulton of Oregon has gone down in defeat be. fore Chamberlain. Bristow of Kansas has beaten Long. Hansbrough of North Dakota, a seryitor of the nOtOr ious Alec Mckenzie, is retired to private life.
 The "Old Guard" is sadly thinred Aldrich. Hale, P.att, and their select coterie can no longer dominate the senate or sufle such legislation as is distasteful to their masters. Progress siye republicans like LaFolIette and Burkett. aided by the newly elected proressives and the democrats, are now more powerful than the "old Guard" The corporations no longer rule the senate.
