among whom were Eugenius Nesbet,
who wrote the Ordinance of Secession,
and Thomas R. R. Cobb, who made the
first secession speech and who wrote
the Confederate Constitution.
Besides these men, Georgia gave
ninety-four regiments, thirty-six bat
talions, three ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
eight major-generals, and forty-seven
brigadier-generals.
In the minor wars Georgia has not
been a Stacker either. During the
trouble that led to the War of 1872,
William H. Crawford, one of Geor-
gias most masterful sons, was minis
ter to France. He was the only man
that Napoleon said he ever felt con-
trained to bow to twice.
Since the wars of 1776 and 1912
came so close together, their lists of
heroes overlap. Thus in the later one
James Jackson and Lachlan Mcintosh
again come to the front, in addition
to General Floyd, who routed the In
dams at Tallahassee; James Mcintosh,
who cut off the British from their
supplies at'Sackett's harbor; and John
Ross, who warned the mayor of Sa-
vannah that Cochrane was expecting
to land 1900 men.
In the War with Mexico, William
Walker was given sword for gal
lantry; James Mcintosh gave his life
at Molino del Rey; and David E.
Twiggs performed such brave services
at Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma
that he was made Major General.
Congress voted him a golden sword,
his own state gave him another, and
New Orleans still another.

leaders we do injustice to George M.

governor; and Governor Jenkins, who
saved the executive seal and thou
sands of dollars of Georgia's money
during the Reconstruction; and Gov
ernor Lumpkin, who had so much
to do with the obtaining and survey
ing of Cherokee lands, as well as
John Mcpherson Berrien, whose ora
tory in the Senate won for him the
name of "the American Cicero" and
John Forsyth, who also achieved dis
tinction as an orator.
In this connection we cannot leave
out George F. Pierce, who was per-
haps Georgia's most famous pulpit
orator, and Logan E. Bleckley, "the
most accomplished jurist of Georgia"
Of the former, Toombs said: "Bishop
Pierce is the greatest man l ever
met; he is the most beautiful in per-
son, the purest in morals, and the
greatest in intellect" He was the
first president of Wesleyan and was
twice president of Emory. Judge
Bleckley, with neither wealth nor
health, made himself chief justice of
the Supreme Court. Some of his say
ings are still preserved in "Great De-
cisions by Great Judges"

TN these stirring times when patriot
j. ism is such a burning question, it
is helpful for US to know something
of the men of former generations
whose loyal and unselfish services
have given US a precedent to live up
to and a state to be proud of. Macauly
said:"A people who takes no pride in
the noble achievements of their an
cestors will never achieve anything
worthy to be remembered by their de-
scendants." In this essay, therefore,
. it is our purpose to review briefly
the lives of some of Georgia's great
est men, and to try especially to
show wherein they were great.
Since the word "hero" is popularity
CONNECTED with uniforms and martial
music, let us first look at Georgia's
military leaders, in Colonial days, in
the revolutionary period and during
the War Between the States, as well
as in the minor American wars which
Georgia has had a part in.
Georgia's first hero is found on
the very first page of her history: it
is her founder, James Edward Ogle-
thorpe. This scholarly young English
patrician was SO moved in heart and
conscience by the prevailing suction
of imprisoning debtors that he gave
up everything to found a colony
which would give honest bankfupts
another chance. During his conduct
of Georgia's affairs he saved his peo-
pie from the instructions and perse-
cutions which other colonists suffered
at the hands of the Indians by his
tact and fairness, together with the
military ability he had shown in Eng
lands wars. Est
Later, when the colonies severed
their relations with the mother coun-
try, numbers of Georgians became
conspicuous Revolutionists. Among
these were Archibald Bullock, who
was the great-grandfather of the late
Theodore Roosevelt, and who became
the first republican head of the state
when he was made President and
commander-in-chief of Georgia; JOS
eph Habersham, who, single-handed,
arrested the English Governor Wright
in the latter's own home; Ebert, who
with Mcintosh stood at Brier Creek
until every man was shot down around
him; Lachlan Mcintosh, who raised
the first troops in Georgia, and after
the war restored peace with the In

the speakers and the writers OF the
Empire State" is Henry w. Grady
who was both in his short but fruit
full life. His speech, "The New
South" made him famous over night
throughout the length and breadth
of the land, while of his work on "The
New York Herald" and "The Atlanta
Constitution" it was said, when he
died he was literally loving nation
into peace"
Another writer who arrived at fame
! through the columns of a daily news
paper was Joel Chandler Harris,
whose unique fame as "Uncle Remus"
is as widespread as the English Ian
guage.
Further enjoyment for the children
NAV be found in "The Young Ma
rooners," by DR.. Francis r. Gould
ing, of Roswell
Every scholar knows Sydney Lam
Ter, who bids fair now to be acknoWl-
edged as Americas greatest poet; and
it takes no scholar to recognize the
appealing lyrics of Frank l.. Stanton
In the field of science and inven-
ton also Georgia can claim honors.
The first workable sewing machine
was made by Doctor Goulding, and
William Longstreet f1oated his steam
boat a year before Fulton's; never
theless, for various reasons, neither
of them enjoyed the benefits of pat
ents. Eli Whitney, however, is the
undisputed inventor of the cotton gin,
which has formed the corner stone of
industrial progress in the South. And
certainly none can boast scientist
who has done more for suffering hui
mainly than our own DR., Crawford W.
Long, who is now universally pro-
claimed as the first to use sulphuric
ether in surgical operations.
Georgia is proud of all these, her
illustri0as sons; but in this advanced

list of Georgia patriots, Nancy Hart,
of whose strength and courage in
helping Elijah Clarke so many good
stories are told; and Mrs. Barnett,
who hid the state seal during the
carpet-baggers' regime; and Mrs. Belt,
who more than any other, caused
Georgia to be readmitted as state.
A more modern name is that of Miss
Rutherford, with whose influence over
the generation which will soon be con-
trolling the states policies every
Georgian is familiar. And surely we
might include also those hundreds
of Red Cross workers who have been
inspired by the call of war-stricken
world to give themselves and their
sons for freedom; for after all those
patriots who have most to do with
making the history of any state or
commonwealth are the mothers of
men.

dians on the Western frontier; George
Houston, who called patriots to pro-
test against the Boston Port Bill; JON
athan Bryan, who headed the resist
ance to the Stamp Act; Noble w.
Jones, who served on many commit
tees and presided over the Constitu-
tional Convention in 1895; and But
ton Gwinnett, George Walton, and
Lyman Hall, who signed the Declare
ton of independence.
Yet our minds turn at once to the
greater army men: Elijah Clarke and
James Jackson. The former was an
uncouth, uneducated farmer, while
the latter was cultured English gen.
tleman. Both labored unsparingly
for the colonies. During months of
ceaseless activity and all manner of
hardships, Clarke was the only pro-
lection the people of his vicinity had
against the brutal Tories. 1t has been
said that Kettle Creek made possible
CORVALLIS defeat. James Jackson
rose from private to Lieutenant-C Col
onel during the war, and was later
made Brigadier-G General, of Militia.
In 1888 he was elected governor of
his state, but declined the office, be-
cause he thought thirty was too young.
Ten years later, however, he did serve
in that capacity, and afterwards re-
entered the United States Senate,
where he remained until his death.
In token of high esteem the Legisla-
ture of Georgia gave him home.
An interesting character of the
Revolution was Col. John Mcintosh,
who, when ordered by the British
General Fuser to surrender Fort Nor
ris, boldly replied: "Come and take
it." Instead the British found it wise
to Withdraw, and the Georgia Legis-
lature presented Mcintosh with a
sword on which were the words
"Come and take it."
A bit of romance is added to the
history of the war by the exploits of
Robert Sallette and Col. John White.
The former daring patriot applied for
the reward that had been offered~for
his head, and got it, too. The latter
with only six men and successful
strategy, captured nearly one hundred
and fifty of the enemy.
We cannot pass over this period
without mentioning John Twiggs, who
fought numbers and numbers of en-
gagements and never lost one Dur
ing his twenty-five useful years after
the war he was trustee of the Rich
mond Academy and likewise of the
University of Georgia.
In the War Between the States,
Georgia did her full share. Joseph
E. Brown and Alexander H. Stephens
vie with each other for first mention.
Governor Brown served four consecu-
tive terms, during which he became
known as "the most active of the
war governors" Stephens was a
Unionist in Congress until the South
seeded, when he went with his native
state and became president of
the Confederacy. Though he was poor
and never well, he graduated with
first honor from the University of
Georgia, and made himself one of
Georgia's greatest men.
Robert Toombs, as President Davis
Secretary of State, comes next in
order. His name is later connected
with the first railroad commission in
the world.
Benjamin H. Hill, as President
Davis confidential adviser, played
more than provincial part.
Howell Cobb was another Georgian
who won distinction both in the state
and in the Confederacy.
In the First Confederate Congress
Georgia had seven representatives,

the Philippine Mission)
WASHINGTON, July 12. = "Japan
will gobble you up" That is the ex-
preston of many Americans when
they hear the Filipino plea for inde-
ipendencc. Some of those who SINGER
ely desire to comply with our wishes
see the spector of a Japanese Emipre
awaiting the withdrawal of American
sovereignty to grab the Islands.
Now a nation grabs another terri
tory, first, because she wants it; and,
second, because it will benefit her
Responsible Japanese officials have
time and again said that they do not
want the Philippines. DR.. Iyenaga,
one of Japan's most active publicity
agents in the United States, once
said that Japan would not accept the
Philippines, even as gift. "Unless
that gift should be accompanied not
by $20,00O,000, the sum you gave to
Spain, but by round billion of dol
lars to be expended for the educa-
ton and development of the Filipinos,
Japan would surely decline your Of
fer. Japan has no use for the Philip
pines for colonization purposes be-
cause it's climate is as untitled to us
for that purpose as it is for you. Our
experience in Formosa has convinced
us of that"
Many Japanese believe that with
Korea, Manchuria and Formosa, ia
pan is sufficiently occupied with terri
torial dominions, and that in the long
run it would be more advantageous
for her to adopt policy of right
eousness and fair dealing with all ma
tions than to seek new fields of con-
quest An assurance to that effect
would greatly strengthen her friend
ship with the Allies and, consequent
ly, her own credit abroad. And ia
pan knows that to attempt to take
the Philippines after the United States
had set them up as republic, and had
so proclaimed before the world, would
be viewed in America as an hostile
act and direct challenge to the
United States.
But there is another factor: Would
the Filipinos be willing to become
subjects of Japan? The Japanese
themselves know too we'll that they
would not. DR.. Nitobe, possibly the
greatest Japanese authority on CO.
lonial government, in an interview
printed in the Philippine Free Press
on May 6, 1915, said; at is rash to
conclude that because we are of the
same race the Filipinos would glad
ly invite Japan to be their ruler.
They believe that they are superior
to the Japanese. Their customs and
manners are influenced by Chris
tianity; hence, the unequalled pro-
gress in the conception of their treat
ment of the weaker sex in comparison
with that prevailing in other parts
of the East"
eff Japan should ever attempt to
take the Philippines, either peaceful
ly or by force" says an opponent of
independence, Carl Grow, in his book,

make it their business to see to it
that they nave chance of develop
ing their country and making it, in
the words of their representatives,
"a safe place of law, order, justice
and liberty, where Americans and
foreigners as we'll as Nationals may
live peacefully in the pursuit of hap
piness and prosperity and safety in
the enjoyment of their property as well
as of their rights and their liberty"

would Immediately be involved in a
fight much more stubborn than the
one the United States was compelled
to put down. It is impossible to
imagine the devoutly Catholic Fill
pinos ever submitting even to SEM
blance of rule by nation as es-
sentially Christian as the ia
panese, and it is equally impossible
to imagine Christian world allowing
such reverse to the unproken, ad-
vance of Christianity"
The Philippines are asking only for
an opportunity for free and unham-
pered development of their people
and natural resources, so that they
can in their humble way contribute
to the civilization and progress of
mankind This desire cannot injure

desires of her neighbors is the least
possible interference by foreign ma
tions. She so informed China many
times, and that was the main reason
she gave for annexing Korea.
Ten million Filipinos are not such
a very small people. Separated from
Asia by tremendous waterways, they
feel themselves to be in a splendid
isolation. They think that they have
a fairly good opportunity to work out
their own destiny, and in a short time
to be able fully and efficiently to take
care of themselves.
Was independence ever attained by
any nation without the people taking
a chance? If absolute safety from
foreign aggression was an essential
condition to independence, how many
nations would be independent today?

Chicago, July 8.-Corn-The feature
in corn was the widening Of the differ
ence between the old and the new crop
deliveries, the former being from 81 to
80 cents over the latter at the close.
Despite general labor troubles affect
ing the principal Industrial buyers, the
small receipts of corn were in good de-
mand and new high prices were made
for the spot article. Crop reports are
generally very favorable and the gov
eminent figures given out tomorrow
are likely to show a crop prospect at
least equal to private estimates.
Oats-Oats were higher on the belief
that the government report tomorrow
would show a decline in the prospects
during the past month and the belief
that the new crop would not only be
: smaller than usual but of lighter
weight. While there is little doubt that
reserves from the old crop are LIBERAL
the cars are not plentiful and this con-
dition is likely to become more serious
as the movement of new wheat in
creases.
Observation-Disclosures was in good de-
nand and moderately higher with corn
and hogs, altho the latter did not hold
their early strength. Offerings were
well absorbed on the moderate setbacks
and the market continues strong.
