Georgia Product Day
Is Accusing Enthusiasm

It took Georgia just ten days 70
wake up to the significance of Georgia
Products Day, which will be observed
throughout the Empire State, of the
South on Tuesday, November 18TH.
From Rome to Brunswick and from
cambridge to GAINESVILLE, the Ques-
ton, What Does Georgia Grow, Pro-
duce, Raise and Manufacture" is
agitating the minds of thousands of
people. On Monday, November 10th,
the headquarters office of the Geor-
gia Chamber of Commerce in Atlanta
announced that cities and towns IN
half the counties of the state had
made definite arrangements to observe
the day with a dinner seating at least
100 people. The officials of the state
wide chamber confidently expect to
line up every county by the end OF
the present week.
Governor Slaton Immediately saw
that it meant literally millions in cold
cash to Georgia annually to have her
people know just what the state can
grow and manufacture. Hence his
proclamation endorsing the t-eorgr~
Products Day idea. The mayors of 4
hundred cities and towns issued local
proclamations Trades bodies, Give
societies, fraternal organizations,
school boards-in short every organ
ization composed of far-sighted men
and women enthusiastically proclaim
ed the Georgia Products idea splen-
did one.
The people of Georgia annually send
out of the state over two hundred
millions of dollars for products and
articles which are either grown or
manufactured at their very doors. If
Is wall were built around Georgia i
could support upon its own area,
very comfortably and without crowd
ing, fifteen millions of human beings,
producing everything for the susie
nance of life and of comfortable liz
ing.
Among the towns that will give
Georgia Products Day dinners OF
Tuesday, November IS, are the follow

ems, Augusta, cambridge, Barnes

Caldwell, it is so everywhere. Some
effort should be made to curb the evil
and it was to awaken parents to the
danger confronting their children that
Rev Mr.. Titus made his sensational
charges.
Character is the most sacred asset
possessed by man. No attack on the
character of an individual, an organi-
cation, or a community is to be coun-
tenanced unless based on absolutely
irnmutable fact. To correct situa-
ton that he was not at all certain ex-
listed, Mr.. Titus has deliberately ,plac-
ed stigma upon 100 school children.
This is very grave injustice.
In three years. diligent search the
school board has failed to bring to
light more than one possible case OF
immortality among the school children
of the city. These men are not fools
they are hard-headed business men;
men who know the world and while
they would be 10th to believe that
the boys and girls Of such tender
years, their own children among them,
could be guilty OF such disgusting
practices, not for moment would
they close their eyes to fact. lmmor-
al conditions do not exist among the
school children of the city, except
perhaps in very isolated instances
which have remained hidden from the
watchful eye of the authorities. That
there is any widespread condition of
the sort is not to be believed.
1t is to be hoped that should any
one become severely infected with
the dangerous reformitis germ in the
future that common-sense shall direct
the method pursued in developing the
disease. There has been a grave in
justice done-and no Jesuitical plea
that the end was meant to justify the
means will be accepted by the good
folk of Caldwell.

THE IMMORTALITY CHARGES.

The meeting held at the CONNER
cial club rooms Monday evening was
one of the most remarkable in the his
tory of the city-a public meeting
called to defend the school children
of the entire city against charges OF
immortality preferred by minister OF
the gospel.
In sermon Rev. D. B. Titus of
the Christian church had made charges
of gross immortality affecting llOO
school children of the city. His evil
dence was freely admitted as hear-say
and he does not appear to have made
very strenuous effort to verify his in
formation. By fathering the story
given by the physician whose name
Mr.. Titus refuses to make public, he
becomes responsible.
The facts in the case do not carry
out the contentious of Mr.. Titus in
any regard. The experience of at least
three physicians in the city are d.
rect contradiction to the statement
that there exists many cases of vener-
cal disease among the school children
The statement that the locks on the
school buildings had been broken that
the children might enter to engage in
immoral practices remains unproven
in any regard.
The Tribune does not for moment
question the motive of the reverend
gentleman. 1t is exceedingly unfor-
tunate that the press saw fit to give
the sensational charges such wide
publicity. The statements on the face
were preposterous. That immortality
exists to some extent among the
young people cannot be doubted. otis
true, tits pity; and pity tits, it's true"
But not to any extent among the
school children. Young men after
they leave the duties of school life
enter into a new sphere of activity.
Too often they are led to ape their
elders and indulge in different phases
of immortality in the mistaken idea
that this is manhood. 1t is so in

THE OBSERVATORY.

1t is curious how a writer will have
pet word, which he will use over
and over again, as though no syno-
nym could be found. I recall that
years ago the author Of book which
was an authority en- European Tur-
keys history thus used the word ''ra.
pacity" to describe the character of
the Turk in his treatment OF Chris
tians; it sometimes occurring several
times in the same chapter.
And just recently l came across the
Life of Goldsmith by Washington lr-
wing. / had forgotten that he had
written such work, and having a
hazy remembrance that each had a
vein of sly humor, wondered what
Irving had said of Goldsmith; after
few pages l came across the word
