An Editorial by Macaulay.

This, written by Thomas Darlington
Macaulay, seventy years ago, has been
unearthed by some newspaper and re-
produced because Of it's application to
present conditions in Europe:
"All around us the world is con-
vulsed by the agonies of great ma
lions. Governments which lately seem
ed likely to stand during ages have
been Of a sudden shaken and over
thrown. The prOudest capitals of
western Europe have streamed with
blood. All evil passions, the thirst of
gain and the thirst of vengeance, the
antipathy of class to class. the anti
pathy of ace to race, have broken loose
from the control of divine and human
laws Fear and anxiety have clouded
the faces and depressed the hearts of
millions.
Trade has been suspended and in
dustry paralyZed. The rich have be-
come poor; and the poor have become
poorer. Doctrines hostile to all science,
to all arts, to all industry, to all do
nestle charities, doctrines which, If
carried into effect would in thirty years
undo all that thirty centuries have
done for mankind, and would make
the fairest provinces of France and
Germany rs savage as Congo wilds
and Patagonia, have been avOwed from
the tribune and defended by the sword.
Europe has been threatened with
subjugation by barbarians compared

are now rapidly nearing completion
for the erection, for military and
naval purposes, Of a 60-inch search
light on the east end of Sullivan's Is
land, on the site of the once famous
Battery Marshall.
The searchlight will be OF the type
that is regularly in service in many
parts of the United States where there
are coast defense works. 1t will be
placed on top Of a tower, or struc-
ture, approximately 40 feet in height,
and will be connected with machin-
ery on the ground which will mani
pulate the big light.
When glowing from the top of the
4O-foot structure the searchlight will
throw a beam Of intense white light
for a distance of 5000 yards or n lit
tie more than 4 1-2 miles. In time
of peace the big light will be in use
only in practice and
drills. 1t is provided primarily as an
aid in detecting and repelling n night
attack on the Notifications where 1t
is stationed.-News and Courier.

OF course it is understood that II
the foreign markets should be closed
against cotton, such a development
would spell terrific hardship for the
southern producer; but there is nc
need for anything Of that kind. The
present supply Of cotton is far below
the needs of the world, and it is easily
within the power Of this government
to protect the producers against loss,
without the government itself having
to take any risk.

The gentlemen who have taken up
the matter Of dredging Turkey creek
are engaged in an undertaking that
seems to promise more for the progress
and general welfare of the south
western part Of the county than any
thing that has been attempted for
years, and it is to be hoped that they
will meet with hearty cooperation all
along the line.

Although there are those who have
felt and who still feel discouraged over
the fortunes of the Yorkville Creamery
association, it is not impertinent to re-
mind them that the fact that the
creamery is still in existence after
four years Of service. is Of itself no
small testimonial to the potential ne
cessity of the institution.
1t is probably n fact that the main
inducement for the establishment OF
a creamery in this place was the pros
pective profits to be derived from the
sale of the machinery. There is little
room for doubt on that score. There

Automobiles and m~otorcyclists who
insist on racing with trains ought to
remember that the trains have the ad-
vantage Of a smooth and reasonably
safe track while the highways are
very often full Of holes. There is very
honor or distinction to be gained
by beating the railroad trains with an

with whom barbarians who marched
under Attila and Alboin were en-
lightened and humane. The truest
friends Of the people have with deep
sorrow owned that interests more
precious thar any political privileges
were in jeopardy, n that 1t might be
necessary to sacrifice even liberty in
order to save civilization"

We have very little faith in the sug-
gestion that Great Britain will do any
thing to protect the price Of cotton in
the hands OF the American producers.
If the producer wants to be sure that
his interests are going to be protected,
he must use the means at hand to pro-
tect himself.

England would never allow other
belligerents to put cotton on their con-
traband list, because it did not suit
her to do so. The main reason why
England puts cotton on the ~contraband
list is because she so chooses.

The British talk Of standing behind
the cotton market whenever the price
goes below the cost of production
sounds very good; but it will make a
still better feeling when it is put into
effect.

prisonment, and who is now in San
Francisco, on Wednesday issued a
statement in reply to an address de-
livered by Mayor Jos. G. Woodward in
Atlanta Tuesday night. The former
governor described the mayor as old
and %garrulous M referred to the Frank
case as a football of politics." Com
menting on Mr.. Woodward's declara-
ton that three-fourths Of the people
of Georgia. including himself, believed
Frank guilty and condoned the lynch
ing, Mr.. Slaton said: Similar utter
ances, made before the lynching, natur-
ally resulted in subsequent lawless-
ness. In one breath he proposes TO
defend the fair name Of Atlanta and
Georgia and in the next breath he casts
on them the most terrible condemna-
ton. Mayor Woodward suggested !
could not with safety return to Geor-
gia within a year. Such a statement
is not only a gross reflection on the
state. but is absurd and ridiculous. 1t
is i'm accordance with u~tterances of
others who expect to utilize the Frank
case for political preferment. l was
born in Georgia and | love her and
her reputation. / shall return there in
accordance with my original intentions,
| think Mayor Woodward's statement
is an affront to the people of Georgia
instead of q defense. He is old and
garrulous." Mayor Woodward, in his
address, had declared Frank suffered
the Just penalty for an u~nspeakable
crime. People throughout the United
States have obtained their ideas Of the
Frank case from a poisoned and sub
sidiZed press and press reports" he
said. Common decency prevents me
from telling you the revolving truths
of the murder Of Mary Phagan. ]
wish you all knew the truths as l know
them. / know them. for | have been
with this case ever since ii started and
/ have read every line of evidence that
was introduced. While we people of
Georgia deplora this deed of Monday
night, we know what is behind the feel
ing that prompted it and | want it
understood thar it is simply emphasiZ-
ing the fact hat when it comes to a
