TO SOUTH GEORGIA FIRST
Farmers Train Will Come to This
Section of State First. Six or
Seven Exhibition Cars.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. from the
railroad commission has been grant
ed the railroads to extend the court
esy of equipment and transportation
for the agricultural train in Georgia,
and the final obstacle has been re-
moved.
The railroads have agreed to sup
ply the agricultural college, under
whose auspices the fifty day tour will
be conducted, with six or seven nee
essary cars to transport the train
from point to point over the state.
About the only expense in connection
with the equipment of the train now
will probably be the Pullman car in
which the officials, lecturers and
demonstrators will sleep while en-
tour. 1t is not improbable that the
Pullman company will even consent
to supply this free Of cost, or at least
a nominal charge.
All arrangements for the train and
tour are in the hands of DR.. A. NJ.
Soule, dean of the state agricultural
college, and he is now busy work
ing out the itinerary for the fifty
day tour. 1t has been determined
that the start will be made from
Athens on January %, and south
Georgia will be first visited. 1t is
the intention to cover the entire
state completely, and to make longer
stops at each point. In most cases
day will comprise two or three
stops all told The exhibition cars
will be the most complete state
has ever sent out. There will be all
the latest farming implements, live
stock, agricultural products and
demonstration of soil surveys. 1t is
desired to make this one of the
greatest educational movements in
the history Of the state.

ATLANTA.-Macon's proposal to
take the state capitol away from
Atlanta has grown to a contest of
more serious proportions than any
one had any idea of when it was
first preached.
Atlantans are gradually learning
that it is now no laughing matter;
that, in any event, it promises to
precipitate lively fight.
A little incident is indicative of
this realization.
When Atlanta's great white way
was opened the other night it was
proposed to have as a feature of the
procession wagon drawn by two
mules with number of farmer-like
men upon it and labeled to indicate
that it was the Macon delegation
come up to move the state capitol

THE CHRISTMAS. TREE.
A Legend Which, 1t Is Believed, Ex-

A Legend Which, It Is Believed, Ex-
plains the Popular Custom.
1t is generally believed that the
idea of the Christmas tree sprang
from the legend of Boniface, apostle
to the ancient Germans. This old
story tells that it was he who gave
the people the pine tree to bear to
their homes as the center of loving
rites performed in the warmth and
light of the household.
The thunder oak, sacred to the
cruel god, Thor, crowned a lonely
snowclad hill. Beneath it a fire was
kindled near an altar surrounded by
white-robed warriors who waited to
see a child victim die under the
hammer blow given by the high
priest.
Then came Boniface bearing his
cross, symbol of kindlier religion
which was to overcome that of the
hammer Telling the oak under
which the cruel rites were held in
cold and quiet he babe the people
to take from the hill a fir and bear
it to the chieftains hall, where they
could celebrate in peaee and love the
birthright of the White Christ who
came to save, not to sacrifice, little
children. So the fir became the
Christmas tree, and the pagan rites
and festivities of the winter solstice
were each in turn spiritualized and
made symbolic of the new faith
which was to bring peace and good
will to men.
The mumming of the olden days;
the gay pranks of the Lord of Mis-
rule; the bearing with rejoicing and
caroling the great yule log; the
decking of church and home with
green's; the superstitions connected
with the mistletoe; the wassail bowl
and mince pies and plum puddings;
all the quaint old customs can be
traced back to festivals held in an
cient times at the period of the win
ter solstice.

CHOOSE FAITH OR FORTUNE
MIR. HANSON'S WILL LEAVES BIG
SUMS TO GRANDCHILDREN.
Must Turn From TheOSOphlC Cult

Dead President of Central Railroad
Was Unrelenting to That Faith
Which Broke Up His Family.
Nothing But Alimony Provided
by Will for His Wife.
ATLANTA.-To receive and enjoy
the estate which Major ]. f. Hanson
left those of his children and grand
children who have embraced theoso-
ply must abandon that faith, to
which he attributed the breaking up
of his family. This is provided in a
codicil to his will dated September
Is 1908.
The will was filed in the Court Of
Ordinary today by Jno d. Little o.
Atlanta and Isaac N Hanson, broth
er of the deceased, who are the ex-
ecutors.
The value of the estate is $780,
600. All of the property is to be con-
verified into cash.
There is set apart for his wifi,
Mrs. Cora Alice Hanson, $4,000 fol
life, and at her death the remainder
is to go into his estate; to his daugh-
ter, Annie Hanson Garrett of Balti-
more. he leaves $4,000 uncondition-
ally; for his adopted son, John
Fletcher Hanson, Jr., son of Mrs.
Garrett, he leaves $4,000 in trust
with the American Security and
| Trust Co.
He left $4,000 each to his daugh-
ters, Mrs. Fannie Hanson White and
her children, and to the children of
his deceased son. Walter r. Hanson,
but conditionally. The condition is
stated in the codicil referred to, in
which the testataT refers 20 the fact
that his daughter, Mrs Fannie Han
son White, and her children, and
the four children of Walter T.. Han
son are all members of a Theosophist
colony at Point Iona, Cal. He is
formed, states the testator, that
Theosophists can have no individual
property, but that all goes into COM
mon lot so long as they remain affiI-
lated with the cult
For that reason, states Major Han
son in the codicil, he throws certain
restrictions, or rather conditions,
around the requests to them. They
are to touch the income freely inn
mediately after his death, but in the
case of Mrs. White and her children
the full principal is not to be paid
until after Mrs Whites death and
after the children have renounceS
Theosophy, or until the children
reach the age of 35 years, at which
time the principal is to be paid them
anyway.
In the same way the four children
of Walter T. Hanson may touch the
interest at once, but may not have
the full principal until they re-
nounce Theospohy, or until they are
35 years old.
1t may not be improper to record
that neither will nor codicil contains
single expression of unkind feeling
or condemnation on the part of
Major Hanson towards any of his
family toward the cult above men
toned
Numerous small requests ar
made to servants and retainers 0

CRAWLING STONE LAKE.
Big Rock That Floats About Waters
Was Throne of Great Spirit.

Was Throne of Great Spirit.
In the northern part Of Wisconsin
is large lake, whose waters
abound in fish. In this lake there
is also a great rock which floats
about in its waters. This rock,
says writer in Red Man, is held
by the Chippewa Indians as a sacred
monument to the great Mantle.
Stories are told generation after
generation that this great rock was
at one time the throne of the Great
Spirit. Here he sat and ruled the
people, the animals of the forest
around, and the fishes of the waters
of this lake. AS time went by this
rock was gradually being worn away
and the Great Spirit had to go to a
new home.
Every summer the Indians hold
dances near the place where the
rock stands. This they do to cele-
brate the time when Mantle took his
leave. They bring food and tobacco
and place them on the rock so if
the Great Spirit does not get enough
to eat in the other world he comes
down and gets the food that is
placed by his former subjects.
No white man is allowed to catch
fish in this lake, for the fish were
put there by the Great Spirit for the
Indians only. The rock floats about.

MADE HIS MAIDEN 'rECH
GONG. RODDENBERY w,
AMEND TARIFF LAW
Stood Quietly at His Desk and Modo
No Gestures While Addressing
the HouSe


the House.
The Atlanta Constitution prints
the following from it's Washington
correspondent:
Representative Roddenbery of the
Second Georgia district made his
maiden speech in the house of rep-
resentatives today in the effort to
pave the way for the consideration
OF his bill to amend the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff law.
The speech dealt purely with a
question of procedure under the
rules of the house, but the knowl-
edge that Mr.. Roddenbery was max
ing the first speech of his career as
a congressman focused upon him the
eyes Of all the members. He stood
quietly at his seat and seemed not
the least bit nervous or excited, his
only gesture being to punctuate his
remarks with the index finger of his
right hand. 1t was not the manner
of his delivery that his friends and
admirers were accustomed to in his
campaign speeches.
Following the conclusion of the
unanimous consent calendar a mo-
ton was made to take up bill of
Mr., Sterling of Illinois. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald of New York moved consid-
Grafton of his bill to exempt from
tax imports of meat products. This
bill is on the calendar of those meas
ures which the house has been ask
ed to take up after discharging the
committee to which the measures
were referred for consideration.
Mr.. ROddenbery's bill is on this
same calendar. Objection was made
by Mr. Mann that if this calendar
was taken up his bill to codify the
postal laws of the United States
should be given consideration as the
first on the list.
The clerk began to read this bill
when Mr. Roddenbery made the
point that the house should first
indicate whether it was prepared
to consider the bills on the calendar
in this order. The speaker over
ruled him, and the clerk proceeded
with the reading of the postal meas
ufes

they said:
Don't do it, boys. ThereII be a
lot OF Macon folks up here, and you
may offend them"
So the plan to take off Macon's
ambition to lift the state capitol was
dropped and another feature substi-
tuted.

ously Macon is taking the matter.
even though its origin may have been

self was surprised at the support
which came to the project from the
south Georgia counties, but when she
found that she had a good backing
the proposal became serious.
The chief stumbling block in the
way of the removal of the capitol
to Macon or anywhere elese is the
fact that it requires a two-thirds
vote of both the house and senate
to pass the necessary constitutional
amendment and, according to the
Atlanta view, it is seriously ques-
toned whether that number Of men,

With the following which Atlanta
would naturally have in the north

Macon would have to do some tall
lobbying to get even any apprecia-

For Atlanta is "some pumpkins" at

But Macon has got a notion she
can do it anyhow, and what appar-
emily originated in a "peeyish" jest
