Andrew M. McConnell, editor of the I
Alkahest Magazine and head of the
Alkahest Industrial Settlement near la
Atlanta, delived a notable address last I
week under the Auspices of the Wo-
man's Club at the Grand, Atlanta. It
was an able message to thje Southland
and is well worth reading. We quote
the following: ' .
A few years ago I had decided the
first opportunity to go to New York or
Boston, where one could get pay for his
writing or lecturing. r It was that pre
valent idea that the South teaches, the
only thine keeping our section in vas-
salage: If you have any special sense
or gift, go North, where it will be ap-
predated and paid for. By cultivating
this spirit of suicide to opportunities, we
every year not only give away, but actu-
ally drive away our most talented men. dren have to boast about? Whtjre is
Go to New York, or other Eastern the man we need, of Watson's! bril

gone there for a wider field. We send

our oesi teacners, nae woourow vvn-
son, our greatest scientists, like .Joseph
LaConte; we send our leading journal-
istB, like Ochs, of Chattanooga, and
our ablest editors, like Walter H. Page,
of North Carolina; our bent financiers
nock to Wall street, and our best
writers go to their market.
There is Mrs. Seridan, a perfect queen
of Southern womanhood, a nightingale
of song, a woman of such sweet power
that her very presence is an inspiration,
and Atlanta, without a protest or an I
effort, has let her go to Philadelphia, I
where in concerts she is paid $100 a
night against our $50. And here will
Come a prima donna from New York,
with a little soul, with a flippant char-
acter and an artificial .influence, with
an operatic voice and not half so Bweet
a song, and- we will pay her $150.
Right here let us digress far enough to
cheer and cheer again those who have
stayed and become in discharging their I
duties to home, greater than those who
left. There was Grady, who never left
us only when invited away to interpret
the soul of the South and her longing
to claso her alienated brother in a
national suirit. There is Joel Chandler
Harris, who has never been away from
Atlanta, and "Uncle Remus" is loved
in every Ic'ivilized land where cBildren
live. ThWe is Marv Johnston, of Bir-
mineham. who has written t the most
popular Lvels of late years, and there
is the erowine band of faithful workers
and hni ders. like Senator Morgan.
Hoke Smith. Governor Aycock. John
Temnle Graves, and others too numer-
OU8 to mention, in every state, in every
city and town whose thought and en
ergy are concentrated to awaken our
people to their opportunities, who are
making openings here far greater than
overcrowded New York can afford,
who are proving that the OOUth 18 the

from our shepherd hills, where God's

where a purer air has given him aspira

for a local option election in Dallas.
Premature and unwise as it is on th
part of the temperance people, for they
have no money and no organization,
and the election only about two weeks
off, yet notwithstanding that, the '

advised the temperance people to let

hence, with money and organization,
we would and - could flick them J bad;
that if they made a fight now and lost,

Scenes like that in Turner' hall last
Friday night is helping prohibition and
hurting the saloon cause terrifically.
For the people see that the people or
the saloons one or the other must go

From Waco south I find that the
problem in Texas among the farmers
and merchants is the boll weevil, which
has devastated the cotton crop for
past two or three years. The farmer
here is up against the biggest propo
sition of all his history. -
Think of 5,000 acres of beautiful
growing cotton and 20U bales i the
product and in some sections I hear
that lands which have sold for $50 per
acre, readily, have no suoh market
value now.! The farmer in this section
has been idle for months; no land, can
be ploughed by reason of constant rains
since last October. Plow stock in poor
fix; no corn except that shipped inl and
in many places the roads in such con
dition they cannot haul the fcorn from
the railroad station to the farm. Of
course this applies to only some sec
tions. J The rain still falling, but
amid it all I find they have hope and
faith that yet Texas will come out'all
right. I ; : : !;
This is an heroic 3ople, generous in
prosperity and brave in adversity. If
pluck and energy will conquer the dif
ficulties, then the Texans will whip the
fight. , But a people cannot Egkt
against the stars.
In spite of all her disasters, there has
been wonderful growth in her towns,
and her industries. The trains come
into Texas loaded with immigrants and
home seekers.
Texas is building new and extending
her old lines of railroads in marvelous
mileage? And if the storms and high
water that devastate her rich bottoms
and the boll weevil which destroys her
cotton will cease, then Texas will go
forward in leaps and bounds. Texas
railroads and hotels in their wonderful
improvements "impresses one who has
cf ter been out here most favorably. I

Pesrf's Own Predictions.
February McClure's. j
Robert E. Peary'sarticle, "The Last
Year of Arctic Work," which is printed
in the February McClure's is splendidly
optimistic over thej outcome of the
siege of the pole. The author not only
predicts that the pole will be won,' but
states preciousely how. This is char
acteristic of Lieutenant Peary, and the
same entbusiasminf uses..every line of
his article, which is a narrative of the
expedition on which he discovered and
founded the north cape of Greenland
wilh little doubt the northernmost land
in the world. Here be lets himself
out indeed, and his description of how
it feels to Bet one's eyes on land no
human being has ever seen before, ia
one that readers of Lieutenant Peary's
story ill not forget. .
A young girl was recently picked' up
ou a New Yoflc street who has been a
puzzle . to linguists. The policeman
who found her took her to the steam
ship piers where there were men who
speak seven and eight different lan
guages aud some smattering of many
more. Not an interpreter could under
stand a word she said. The girl ;was
then taken to a block of houses . the
boast of which has been that it was to
eosmorjolitan that' everv" laneuaee of
the world was spoken by at least ' one
resident. The word "bread" was
spoken in a hundred tongues, but she

thing haa already been done alon this
line though nql cuotigh. . Our great
railroad systems have advertithd the
advantages of this sta e fur many years
In a di:igent and toa certain exunt a
most feffective manner. But the jeople
have bot done their share. The fact
tmist be admitted that Georgia, in
common with the other south Atlantic
states, has failed to receive a share of
immigration at all proportionate with
that enjoyed by certain northwestern
commonwealths.- '
Let us supplement the advertising al
ready done by having a monster exhibit
at the St. Louis exposition, and thereby
make a tangible showing of our re
sources and advantages. Tbe time is
ripe for work like this. People will not
continue to flock to the blizzard-swopt
Dakotaa if they can be made to under
stand that Georgia offers them a greater
amount of. happiness and prosjterity.
Let s go to work in earnest to bring
some of these people to Georgia next
year.

Cook, mieala.
to
Mostigello, N. Y., February 10.
Th 14-year-old daughter of Mrs. Kate
Taylor, who is under arrest for the
muk-der of her husband, Lafayette Tay-
or, I at their home near Ceutreville, on
the night of January 27, told a horrible
story of her mother's crime at the wo
man's trial here.
The girl is the woman's daughter by
former husband. She testified that
her stepfather came home drunk and
that she retired while he and her
mother were quarreling. A short time
afterward she heard a shot, and running
into the kitchen saw Taylor - lying on
the floor and saw her mother shoot him
again.
Mrs. Taylor then seized an ax and
cut off his head and right arm, both of
which she placed in the stove. The re
mainder of the body was cut in four
pieces and put in a sack in the pantry
and during the. two succeeding days
parts of the body were burned until it
was all consumed. The clothing was
burned, and other evidences of the
murder'were cleared away. ' a
During the time the body was being
burned the usual meals were cooked by
Mrs. Taylor.
During her daughter's recital of the
story Mrs. Taylor showed no sigu of
nervousness.

8avaskaii, Ga., Februaiy 18. The
Southern Railroad's Palm Limited train
to-day had to run back nearly 5 miles
t J . .
to tuck: up a passenger. . lne train is
due to arrive in Savannah at 10:20 a
m. It was an hour of jso late, and
running at its best speed, when it
passed Pineland, the station of the club
by that name, 22 miles above Hardee
ville, and one of the. resorts of wealthy
ew loraers ty whom it war. organ
ized. .
As the train drew near the station
three Or four persons were seen on the
platform. The engineer went by with
out stopping. In the Iarty on the
platform, 'however, was Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, who had decided to run
down and spend the night at the coun
try home of her brother,' R. T. Wilson,
Jr., near Bluff ton.
I he lact that the limited had gone
by without stopping didn't worry her.
She got Mr. Vanderbilt to.telr-graph to
Hardee ville, the next regular stop for
the train, and have it ordered back.
It is not known what- arguments were
contained in tbe message, but tbey were
potent, for when tbe train reached
Hardee ville it was ordered back for the
Vanderbilt party and not until tbey
had been taken aboard waa the trij
resumed to Savannah. -
