Rich in Conceit.

1t has been given out by the German
government that the time is not ripe Tor
debating terms of peace. But how shall
the aspirations and high spirits of the
conouerors be suppressed? With one ac-
cord the papers have fallen TO speculating
upon the division of Europe, and one at
least. "Die Rheinische- Westfalische lei
tung," has been so bold as to lay before
its readers a modest but sufficiently def
mite plan for the readjustment of the
world as follows:
Austria TO annex the greater part Of Serbia
Belgium 70 become definitely German, with
the exception of Il small portion, which Hol-
land will be allowed 10 occupy; France 20 DC
deprived OF her fortified places; Russia TO
lose Finland, the Baltic provinces @ ro
Poland. the Crimea and portion OF the eau
casus; England to abandon her Mediterranean
possessions as we'll as Egypt, and practically
all her colonies: India 10 become semi-in-
dependent state under German protection.
No upheaval quite so grand and com
prehensive has ever been defined with such
particularly since Pichrochole's gallant
warriors laid their plans for the over
throw of Gargantuas armies Rabelals
has told us how the ministers came before
their king and explained TO him exactly
how his forces were to be divided, how
they were to overrun Europe and how,
having reduced most Of the continental
nations and subdued Scotland, England
and ireland, one of the armies was to re-
turn and proceeding by way of Bulgaria
to Turkey, to come at last to CONSTANT

by the glorious prospect Of conquest SO
momentous, could at this point contain
himself no longer. To draw on Sir
Thomas Urquhart;

Dear Sir: I do not know Of

credit for waiting over two years for

been done in Georgia, we are to be
branded and our best men threaten
ed and cartooned. Don't it seem
like some others are mobs, for some
of them would kill us, if they could

ADNIlRES ARTICLES ON FRANK
CASE

Oar Sir:
I may have differed from you po-
litically in the past but I have never
yielded to any man in admiration of
your brilliancy and ability I have
been close student of public men
since the days of Calhoun, Clay,
Webster. I have read the speeches
of the matchless Toombs and the
great Benjamin Hill, and have
heard you on many occasions. I re-
call now that no man ever crossed
swords with you in Joint debate or
encountered you in a news paper
controversy, who didn't come out
vanquished and you the victor Never
since the days of Robert Toombs has
Georgia had such bold, fearless and
able champion of the people as you
have shown yourself to be. Your
articles on the Frank Case have i'm
moralized you and any office within
the gift Of the people of this state is
yours for the asking.
Your name and fame are treasured
up beyond the reach of accident and
you will go down in history as one
of the greatest of the great men of
this country.

ONE JEW SAID TO ANOTHER.
"BUT HE WAS CONVICTED. >,

lee
but HE WAS CONVICTED"
Dear Sir: I thought | should write
you some thoughts that are upper
most in my mind. Perhaps you
recoIlect me as being the young man
that asked you thru letter from
Chester, S., c., my home, about
Shakespeare's diction I thank you
for your reply for it has made me
sympathize with you in your endeav-
ours after various reforms.
l attended the 23rd street Y. M.
G.. AS literary club last night. The
principal discourses were concerning
the Frank case. Having dropped
into club before. | knew before
hand that the drift would be in that
direction and thus prepared myself
for a strong defense of my South
land.
The second or third speaker began
mentioning Frank This speaker was
minister from England-a highly
learned and gentlemanly-looking
man. Mr.. Watson he seemed to ap-
prove of what happened, saying that
womanhood was sacred and must be
held SO by all costs; that where the
law is cheated by money or anyway,
then the people may lawfully do as
they please.
After the above speaker had his
say, a Jew got up, and though he de-
MES Christ i'll everything else, he
would fain bring in that notable IL
1ustration of our Lords "Let the
first one who is without sin do the
stoning" That the mob was doubt
less guilty of the same Offense as
I then spoke for ten minutes. My
heart was thrilled and I clearly saw
the audience moving with me as a
field of wheat before the wind.
I told them how that disgraceful
part of a man, Slaton, had evaded
rightful evidence, time and again,
and about the Jews flocking into At
Ianta with their gold, bribing or try
ing to bride, the uphOlders of the
law. That the newspapers were con-
trolled by the commercial spirit, that
they catered to the dollar and the
moneyed-class, and were guilty Of
withholding essential facts concern
ing the murder. This newspaper por-
ton of my talk went home, for in
last weeks meeting, the newspapers
were overwhelmingly denounced for
their Mammonish whOredom to
aristocracy Stringent reform was
advocated.
After my talk an intelligent young
men went to the rostrum and
seemed to have grabbed the thread
of my speech, taking it further in
sympathetic statements. He said he
could not condemn the South, for it
showed in his mind worthy spirit.
That the South was chivalrous
country and the deep-bred intuition
of soul that makes a country uphold
it's women was not to be disapproVed.
Mr.. w. walking along the street
this morning, / overheard two Jews
talking. | heard one say to the
other: "But he was convicted" So
| give you these ideas to show just
a little the atmosphere here in New
York.
I am thankful to God that your
paper, 1 believe, is uncontaminated
by this awful lust for lucre. [ don t
believe any amount of money could
buy you.
Another thing Mr.. Watson: Please
advocate literary clubs in schools
and Y. M. G. AS for young men. 1t
will bring out their talent wonder
fully and be a means of ornament to
the South. We are far behind the
North in education. Massachusetts

A TRIBUTE WORTH LIVING FOR.


Dear Sir: When the sluggards
were asleep; when the skulkers were
hiding behind breast-works' of
"boodle;" when the cowardly Geor-
gia press were ominously and sus-
piciously silent; when every custo-
dian and supposed defender of Geor-
gia's fair name, was recreant to his
trust, and listened, without protest,
to the Shiny ISLANDERS and wanton
aspersions of a hireling press, there
was one man who had the courage
to stand single-handed and beat back
the venomous horde that would de-
bauch her homes, her people, and
her courts.
May your flaming sword never
rust!
Very truly yours.

RICH oCTOCENARIAN
AGAIN PROSPECTING
Goes Back TO Scenes Of Early
Success In "FIftIes. /"

Forest. Cal.-The spectacle Of an old
man. eighty-five years Of age. fitting
himself out as prospector and taking
his blankets into the hills after sixty
years vacation from the same sort Of
work proved interesting to the. resi-
dents of this old mining camp. What
made the incident more interesting was
the fact that. the prospector is a
wealthy man and has no need for any
more Of this worlds goods.
The stranger Is James G. CT Use. who
mined in the headwaters of Tim Crow
canyon in the early fifties and who
took otlt enough to enable him to live
in comfort among his relatives ever
since.
He took his pile" and later invested
in the rich apple district in Washing
ton and recently cane to California 10
visit the fair. The call Of his early
life rang in his ears. and he could not
resist the temptation to cover the
ground where he made his fortune In
his younger years.
Chase was not so successful in his
FIRST days panning as he was in the
fifties. but was delighted when he
found color in his pan. II think |
could show some of you old miners
trick in this business yet" said Chase
to some of the men who have been
mining here with Indifferent success
for years.
The old man does not look more than
sixty and says he can stand camping
as well as any man of any age. There
are few in this old mining town who
really remember the old man as a
youngster Of twenty-five who made a
good cleanup" and left here in 1856.

100000 FROM AUTOS
New License Code to Yield Big Sum
for Highway Maintenance.

From collections thus far under
the new motor code, 1t ID probable
that from this source net profit Of
at least 100000 will be raised dur
ing the biennium and turned over to
the counties for the maintenance Of
permanent highways. Collections
thus far total $196.3S5.6O. Of which
$7O.600 has been repaid to the gem
eral fund, to meet all expenses Of adj
ministration. while $125,785.5O has
been turned into the permanent high
way fund. All collections from this
time to the end of the biennium will
60 into the permanent highway fund.
Under an official opinion obtained
from the attorney generals Office by
Highway Commissioner William R.
Roy, this money can be expended. not
only upon roads constructed under
the permanent highway act. but upon
other roads "of like character"
which will mean that counties which
have constructed paved or graveled
roads under bond issues or by other
means, can use the money they OBJ
tain from automobile licenses for
maintaining these highways.

PORTLAND SEES SIGNS
Of REVIVAL IN LUMBER
Various Mills Re-Opening - Supply
Houses Busier-Large Timber
Sales Closed.

PORTLAND. Ore, Sept. 24-Many
evidences of rapid revival of the
lumber industry in the Pacific North
west have been apparent in the last
two weeks. The Booth-Kelly mill at
Vending. Ore, started up again last
week after long shutdown. 1t gives
employment in the mill and logging
camps to zoo men. Near Cottage
Grove, Ore, the big Chambers mill
and the Brown mill, which have been
shut down, are operating again, with
prospects of steady run from
now on.
Reports of other mills that have
resumed operations or will start up
within the next few weeks are coming
in daily. Business houses here that
supply lumber mill and logging camp
crews report that orders for supplies
have increased remarkably to what
they have been for many months.
An order the Gray's Harbor Lum-
Der company has received for 3,000,-
900 feet of cedar and fir lumber for
the Atlantic coast and the reported
sales of 100000 feet of standing
timber in the Olympic forest to the
Snow Creek Logging company Of Sc
attic and of a $4,000 tract of timber
in Lewis county to George F. Stone
and James Barnes of Seattle, have
done much to strengthen belief that
the lumber industry of the North
west is comign out of the slump it
has suffered in the last two years and,
is permanently on the upgrade.

The amount Of cholera reported in

year of reports from that country. save
from Petrograd during the six months

these cases were traceable to the seat
