he has condemned so many thousands

days when the reactionaries are tenn

else put to death under circumstances
which would leave a stain upon the

to be impossible to secure Georgia S
share OF the federal good roads fund,
but little is said of the rather pointed

Gerry seat and center of that dreary land
OF exile, where so many men and wo-
men, his superior in everything which
establishes a calm upon mankind have
pinned away and died.
In all the history of the world there
was never, perhaps, a more impressive
picture than that which has been
drawn for us Of the return of the ex-
lies when the republic was first estab-
ished. Those who for years had been
condemned to living death surged up
literally from the depths Of the earth
They swarmed forth like ants from
tie mines in which they had rarely
seen daylight They dropped their
spades in the fields and their saws in
the workshops, and Harvesting the
first animal they could find, throwing
on the first garments that came to
hand to protect them from the cut
ting winds of a Siberian March, they
started for the nearest railroad sta
ton, and then on to Petrograd, or to
home, wherever it might be-
By thousands and tens of thousands
they came, in troshkis and wagons ana
on foot many in rags and some liter
ally in velvet gowns 1t was the most
picturesque army of tatterdemalions
the world has ever seen.
And now, for the most part, they
have been embodied into the gseut
mass of free people, while the man
who enslaved them after a lifetime
spent in idleness and luxury, whose
nod was law, finds himself taking up
the journey toward those frozen
wastes.
Just as there were hands unseen to
strew flowers upon the grave of Nero,
so, too, there will be those even out
side the court circle, who will sympa-
thize with the fallen Gar of all the
Russias They will see in him simply
q human being, the victim of his birth
and environment, broken at last on
fortunes wheel They will recall that
many of his better impulses were1
thwarted by those who surrounded him.
But the one overshadowing fact is
that he was through the weakness of
his character and the system he rep
resented, the author of a thousand
crimes and the day of reckoning has
come at last.
He has reaped what he has sown n
more than common measure.-Macon !
