BR|NKLEy MAN WRITES FROM ATLANTA, GA.

and uninviting, as compared with the rich, alluvial valleys about Memphis.
 Why then does Atlanta go for ward in such amazing strides? The explanation is found in the spirit of the people. The peo- pie of Atlanta are for Atlanta. They talk for Atlanta. But that isn't all they work for Atlanta. Rich and poor alike pull for At lanta. The poor man, the labor ing man, the women and the childre all pull for Atlanta. The people are united, one hun dred and sixty thousand strong, all working and talking Atlanta. It is spoken of far and near as the Atlanta Spirit. !" I don't know what that is. It is not definiable, but l do know that whoever lives in Atlanta for as long a time as six months, par takes of this spirit and becomes an Atlanta booster.
 This spirit stands for civic righteousness, which, after all is the base of all growth of per- manent nature. American peo- pie before settling in a town or city inquire about the schools, the churches, and if there is a reasonable respect for law. They find all of this in Atlanta, and in addition, the glad hand of welcome and a spirit of coopera- ton. Atlanta demaned a reas- enable regard for law, and the spirit of the it's people is for righteousness. And who knows but what this may be the ex- planation of Atlanta's marvellous , growth.
 There is a proverb which runs like this: Righteousness ex. alteth a nation" Memphis, ano other wide open" towns, will do well to take notice of that proverb, for therein is found the principle which controls all per manent growth and success. Full page advertisements in pop ular magazines are to be com. mended, but they can not take l the place of that larger and bet ter advertisement which is found in a due regard for law, and desire to exalt the city by presenting to the world an eX- ample of Civic Righteousness.

New County Officers.

This old year of 1910 is ring CT for changes.
 Down at Clarendon there are some changes going on which mark another starting point on the political time card. The new county officers were inducted in- to office this week Tuesday.
 There was no change in the offices of the County and Probate
 Judge, Judge s. T. Holloway Assessor, (W. F. Jimmerson) Surveyor, e. F. Weidman)
 Coroner, (J. w. Savage); but the Sheriff's office is changed, Thos. D. Bounds steps into the Sheriff's boots and his friends do note hesitate to say that he will be fine officer. His chief
 deputy is Judge A. N. Bohllnger, of this city, one of the cleverest,
 most obliging men in the county. Clever Bill Hinton is back in
 the office of Treasurer and 1t is a dead sure thing that he will be
 able to show 'em any old day
 just where Monroe county's cash is.
 Jas. Engle, for years a most efficient circuit clerk, goes to the office vacated by MT. Hinton, that of County Clerk, and there'll be no doubt of his effic- iency there.
 Jno. s. Black, the clever fel- low that stopped picking cot ton" long enough to give his sore hands a chance to get we'll and at the same time win the nomi- nation for Circuit Clerk, is back in office again and will be greeted by his many friends who have missed him during the past few years.
 The new Representative, Hon. R. Milwee, whose election to the of the next House of Representatives, is generally conceded, will probably quit the political game. something he has been trying to do for some time. He says that it's a sure thing now however and some how or other Pm believing Frank will do just that thing even if it is 9 hard thing to do. There is no doubt but Frank is quitting the game a sure winner, for he has seldom, if ever, been the looser. Tn fact his experience as man. ager of Gov. Donaghey's spec ,acular race for Governor the first term, proved that Frank xnows politics and that his ca 3acity for going some' is of he tate wide" variety. He's his good business head ,y jumping the political game when he is "on top"-a thing so many politicians can't do.

EDITOR ARGUS:
 Memphis seems to be worried over its census report, not yet given out. One hundred and forty three thousand is not bad for Memphis, but when Bir- mingham goes to 133,000 and Atlanta to 155, 900 it is time for Memphis to wake up.
 Some will say that Atlanta has extended it's limits so as to in clude the Fulton county planta- tions, and this is why it shows such large gain in population. Atlanta did extend it's limits, but only to include what should have been in Atlanta years ago. Atlanta covers only twenty four square miles, so that you will see how compactly built At lanta is. There is still much populated territory which ought to be in Atlanta, and several su- burbs too far out to include in Atlanta.
 College Park is nine miles out from Atlanta, and yet this su- burb is peopled by Atlanta busi- ness and working people. East Point is six miles out on the Col lege Park car line, but it, like College Park, has it's own muni- cipality. Fully five thousand people live in these two suburbs. These two are on the west side.
 Decatur is six miles to the east with a population of several thousand. From the extreme western side of College Park to Decatur is a distance of at least fifteen miles, populated all the way with Atlanta people, but not over eight miles of this territory is included in the city limits. l cite this to make it clear that At ilanta was very conservative in extending it's limits.
 1 don't know what Memphis has done, but if Atlanta had taken in territory as Birmingham did, the census report would have been much larger.
 Atlanta is growing, and grow ing rapidly, and at its present pace it will keep in the lead,
 But Memphis ought to be the larger of the two. In fact, Mem phis ought to be THE city of the South. Situated in the center of the Mississippi valley, it has a stretch of territory for the SUD- port of it's commerce, the like of which is not elsewhere in the South.
 Atlanta is on a red hill which measures 1000 feet above sea level, and is surrounded for miles in all directions with sim- liar hills. The country is poor
