Ia.-t night before the Triniiv Graham Kpwortli League was a rare intellectual treat all through. Prof. Graham lirst proved that from Ihe selileniont . of ibis country np to the present every great movement for libirly was under llni leadership of si. me di scendaiit of llie Jamestown colony. Most notably under this hmd is the case of George Washington. "Washington." said Prof. Graham, "was the Hcvoliitionary War." Iu the laic war with Spain. Prof. Graham staled that the record at Wash ingluii w ill show mat the very first vnl itnlccr regiment enlisted was from the Old N'orih Slate, the First Xorlh Caro lina. Taking up the subject of expan-iou Prof. Graham, from the facts of history, showed that froiu. ithiri-eii original Sta.tes Ihe country has increased to its present gieat size, ami whenever a new Stnle had beiii added or new territory purchas ed, as for instace Alaska, Florida and the Louisiana purchase, these had all been added to the country under the ud miiBlstratioii or through the influence of a Southern limn. "I will chnl Ion go any man." naid the speaker, "to show w here a single square foot of territory has Is-en legitimately nihh d lo the government except through the influence of n man from the South of the Mason and Dion line." Tin' lecture throughout was intensely" logical and inleresting. and showed that mnili original research had Iieeu given to -the siibjei t by him, who so ably han dled it last night. The Georgia Legislature litis passed a bill imposing a tine of $1.00 on every male dug in the Ktafe and $l.of) on every female. That is -the bravest li-gislntion we have heard of this yeur.
