APPROVES SENSIBLE VIEW

Edltor The Georgian:
When public sentiment in Geor-
gia and the South is sounded in
reference to the veterans Of the
Confederacy raising $4,000 in be-
half of General Daniel E. Sickles,
of New York, to pay his alleged de-
falcations, you will find that your
editorial OF the goth reflects the
sentiment Of our land. The other
idea is sentimental and has no Just
foundation in right. It is not right
for the ragged veterans" of the
South to give that amount Of
money or any amount to save Dan
lei E. Sickles from Imprisonment.
He has been we'll cared for in the
past and but for his extravagances
would have plenty today. You are
right, Mr.. Editor, that the veterans
of the South will not do this thing.
If SiCkles were a poor man and
suffering in a righteous cause, then
you could count on noble response
to a call for help. l heartily ap-
prove your patriotic and sensible
view w. o. BUTLER.

WORSE THAN ABSURD"

Editor The Georgian:
1t is with deepest appreciation
that / have just read your article,
General Sickles and an Absurd
Offer From a Southerner."
When I read the offer in the
press reports, it Struck me" as
being worse than absurd-if sin
cere, certainly both unwise and
positively wrong.
To say nothing Of wringing small
sums of money from poor Southern
soldiers Though 1 think there is no
danger) for a man far away in
New York city, who would be
taken care of by his friends and
his case, the greatest curse of our
day is this very thing-landing the
poor fellow who steals a chicken or
melon behind the bars and in chains
for the limit, while the big fellows
are communicated with through en-
graved invitations and in an apollo
getic way by officers of the law.
If man at this age is mentally
irresponsible, his friends should
not have entrusted him with the
funds; if he has since become so,
they should grant a pardon on this
ground. But neither age nor po-
sition should stand between the
law and the deliberate violator of
law-this is the curse Of our land
today.

APPROVES GEORGIAN EDITORIAL.

Editor The Georgian:
We desire to enter our most cor
dial approval of your editorial in
The Georgian of the 29th, headed
General Sickles and an Absurd Of
fer From a Southerner." We do
not believe there are dozen ex-
Confederates who will give heed to
Mrs. Longstreet's proposition. If
General Longstreet himself were
living and were caught in the very
same category that now encom-
passes General Sickles, we would
not help him.
We think Mrs. Longstreet's pro-
posal is extremely cratic. The
Southern people are noted for their
chivalry, but We do not break our
necks rushing to the defense of our
lifelong enemy. Your editorial was
very timely, but did not reach far
enough. Yours truly,

1t is we'll known that lower forms
of life, like bacteria, may be sub
jected to temperatures approaching
that of liquid air and then, after a
long interval, be brought back to
active life. Some speculative minds
have suggested that life may origi-
nally have been brought to the
earth by spores and germs driven
off from some other planet-per-
haps even from planets circling
round some distant star-and, after
remaining in a state Of suspended
animation" for thousands of years,
amid the awful cold of open space,
have been restored to activity upon
encountering our planet. The cele-
brated Arrhenius has maintained
that in this way "a mighty stream
of life is kept circling in space from
world to world"
Seeds that have been kept frozen
for months in liquid air have been
thawed out and planted, whereupon
they terminated and grew into
plants as if nothing extraordinary
had happened to them.
