In 1IH the Hon. Abraham 8. Hewitt, of New York, standing upon Jbe
summit of the water tower hill looking over that superb and perfect scen
ery of Rome—her hills and fertile valley*, with the three limpid rivers
rippling through fringed banks—declared that la the many times In
which he bad been around tho world, ho bad never known a city of
greater natural beauty, of apparently superior advantages to that which
was spread out before him from bis lofty point of observation.
And this Is aa true today as It was in lUt. The capital of Floyd, the
city of three river* and an hundred hills, has no superior In beauty and
In fertility among the cities of 'the South. The Etowah and the Oostanau-
la Join their currents at the lower edge of the oily, making tba Coosa
river, which flows thence southward la a navigable stream toward ths
Oulf of Mexico.
The valley of the Etowah and the vality of the Oostanaula and the vast
valleys stretching southward furnish aa high a grade of cotton and as
rich a quality of eareala ay any portion of the state and of tba South.
What was once five great railroads now merge Into two systems at Rome
and sweep the territory northward and eastward and westward with the
finest facilities of distribution.
And the historic people who Hve In this hill dty of Georgia are of ae
fine a type of morals, of mind and of manner* as any to be found In
this land of beauty and of chivalry. The only trouble with Rome la that
It baa never yet found Its Industrial policies and Industrial program. The
city of magnificent opportunities has bean handicapped by aoma enmities
and by some factions which have altered Its natural development and kept
It from Its highest aetata among the cities of the South.
On Tuesday night Rome gave to the world the assurance that the
energy and genius of Its people had crystallised at last Into an organized
and co-operative movement for material development along the highest
lines of progress lo our times. A large and representative company of
all the- force* that made tht Rome of yesterday, and bold In their hands
the Rome of tomorrow, met In the first annual banquet of the Merchants
and Manufacturer*' Association and pledged them selves, for the future,
to a cooperative effort along practical lines for utilising the magnificent
opportunities of this heaven-blessed region, and. discarding faction and
Ignoring Jealousies, Id mutual and beeeenjfng ranks, to march all one way
toward the day of development and of Industrial glory.
Certainly no Incident more promising has punctuated the recent his
tory of Rome than this organised enthusiasm and purpose of lu people.
Coming In the midst of this advanced and vigorous ago, such a move
ment, ao well matured, ao well understood and ao vigorously purposed,
amounts to an announcement to the etate and to the country that from
this time forth no lack of Intelligence, no dearth of energy, no hiatus
of wlidojn and of oo-operation will keep back this city of three riven and
an hundred hills from Its deserved and certain place among the Industrial
and social centers of this marvelously growing South.
THE 1906-07 COTTON CROP.
The American cotton crop for the aeeeon of 110447, as compared with
all previous crape, !• a bumper yield and yet It Is not of sufficient site to
be burdensome. From the Bret bale marketed to the present time. It has
moved from the plantations to the mills at a pace that'has surprised
the trade and In greater quantities than the rallroada In the belt have
been able to move It la a manner satisfactory to purchasers.
Despite this heavy movement, heretofore ao Influence making for a
very low average price, the raw material at no time during the present
action has ahown decided weakness. AU efforts to break prices to a level
below the views of the producer have failed, due entirely to keen compe
tition for an estimated bumper crop. Indicating that consumption la keep
ing pace wlUj tho Increase In production, though prices are yet below the
basis on which spinners are under contract for goods extending well Into
the coming year. A decrease In the movement, however, would soon rem
edy this, and for the remnant of the present erbp much better prices
could be obtained.
In the Lancashire district new mills for the manufacture of cotton
cloths are springing up. Nearly twenty new mills have been begun the
present year. During the put seven years more than a hundred have
been established near Manchuter. Theso new factories, together with
a large number of extensions and additions to existing mills, when fully
completed, will have Increased the manufacturing capacity of this dis
trict by 10.000.000 spindles.
New mills have been built and additions have been made to the old
mill* In the North and the South.
The Increue In splndleag* In the Lancashire district Is attributed to
the eetlmatea of a record American crop this year. The year 1M6. the
previous record breaking crop, witnessed the greatest boom to British
■pinning In recent years, forty large factories having been added In that
year, against only two mills In 1902.

TOM LAWSON, PRESTXDICfrTATOR.
It telegraphic reports are correct, Tom Lawson, ths reformer of
Wall street, the Implacable foe of the "eyetem," hu shown hie bud at
lul ud raked In the stakes.
Nevada-Utah stock went down with a crash Tuesday, and under
the ruins were the Iambs, small traders, men and women who had fol
lowed the apostle of honeety not wisely but loo well. And Tom Lawson
stood afar off, adding more millions to hie bank account and chuckling
to himself. t
For years Mr. Lawson hu wept In public over ths cruel methods
of Standard Oil ud Amalgamated Copper. In Everybody’s Magulne
he hu told of the robbery of the public by Rockefeller and Rogera and
"Om" Addtcks, and all tha rest. He hu held up hie hinds In honor et
the robbery of the public (ud Lawson) et the hands of that pirate erew.
He hu raved of 'Trent!td Finance" until It hu become a household
phrase.
For many months Mr. Lawton hu proclaimed In box car letters In
the dally prau (hat copper would go down or oil would go up, and
Ihouuuds took hie tips. Borne of them were winner*, and the lueky
followers pinned their ftlth lo Lawson u the only original almon-pure
tipster—and prepared to plunge even deeper thu before.
Then Nevada-Utah became active In the market. l<aweon'e letters ad
vised against the purchue of the stock. Through the Influence of Law-
eon's published guide to Wait Street. Nevada-Utah wu held down. And
all the while Itaweon’a brokers were buying, buying, buying. At last
they were satisfied and began bulling the market, quietly but effectively.
Then their selling began, and all the Nevada-Utah owned by Lawson ud
his uaoctatre wu unloaded.
On Tuesday Lawson's published card In the morning paper* announc
ed that he "could not recommend the purchase of Nevada-Utah-" This
precipitated a crash. The stock dropped from It and II a share to I2.S0.
Ilut Lawson's brokers bed sold out long before the break In the stock
began.
According Ui pres* reports, "the written evidence Is all In Lawson's
favor. He bad never. In print, advised the purchase of the stock." Rut
Wall street men who were cautht In the eraak uy that Lawton's manip
ulation* cleared him millions and that thousands of small speculators
who bad Invested In the stock at tbs advice of hit broken were under
the ruins.
It would seem tbat law eon has not been too busy writing "Frantled
Finance" ud novels of "the street" to give eosne of hit mention lo the
wotlhelsUnii he he* denounced.

A WORKINOMAN’S VIEW
) ... OF IMMIGRATION,
To the Editor of The Georgian:
We beg leave for apace In your valu
able paper, which I* much read by our
working people In-this locality, la which
to give our views on the very Impor
tant Immigration question.
The following le what a delegate did
not nay at the Immigration convention
recant ly bald at Macon. Go. A work
ingman felt Ilka (* centa with a bole
In It, especially so when Its eaw that
the men In charge of said convention
principally were the same men that
were allied agalni the child labor bill
when .It woe up for passage. Along
with them were the banker, the big
land speculator and owner. Now, the
gist of the main speeches clearly show,
ed that It was to double the price of
land and cheapen tbs price of cotton
and labor fin this mate. What con we
of the South offer to Immigrant* that
they may be Induced to come tbla way?
Have we got thousand* of acres of
government, land that they may taka
up at the mere coat of paying regletra.
tlon teas and become an owner of a
home? No. we can not offer them eueh
Inducements, Can w* offer, them better
wages on the form than the West? Sta
tistics do nbt boor us out on that. Do
our mill manufacturers and other lines
of trade pay to skilled labor as much as
the North and West? Nat so. What
ran we offer? We can offer them a
line climate, but a man can not Uv* on
climate alone. Why do our boy* emi
grate to the North and West? le It
not for the reasons the opportunities
are far better than they are here? We
are compelled to answer yes. Why was
It thet the Immigrants brought*to
Charleston. B. C, last fall were so much
dissatisfied after they, found out tbs
prices they were to receive for their
labor, some of them going back homo,
some to other parte of tha country,
where better wage* are paid? if 1 am
correctly Informed, this Is true. le'U
not true that some of our great man
ufacturers south of us have been ar
raigned In the United Btales courts on
the charge of peonage, taking advan
tage of the poor Immigrant? God for
bid that a Georgian should be guilty of
such a crime! Does the farmer want
more cheap labor to raise 16,000.000
bales of cotton, that the price of that
product may be sold to tn# manufac
turer at 6 cents per pound? To tbla
we may say not. Cotton la already
too cheap an be very profitable. Can
he pay ths wages labor receive# In the
West and raise corn and other products
to compete with them? We say no.
Then who went* Immigrants? What Is
nil this motive behind this scheme?
Is It not commercial greed and the
same spirit that moved the Dutch
trader to decoy the poor African away
from hie native home and sell him Into
slavery, and later the same spirit
moved the shrewd New Englander to
sell him to the Southerner because he
wax not profitable In a cold climate?
Latterly the Southerner wo* envied by
hla Northern brother for the reason
that his slaves were making everything
necessary for the maintenance of home,
and each maater was becoming a king
on hla own throne and cutting out tha
Northern manufacturer’s market.
Hence the move to aboUah slavery and
save the great West for our future
generation. All this move woo not for
the great love of humanity, but a sel
fish motive, one of commercial guile
and avarice. And a shrewd set, not
being bold enough to come out openly,
but moved to excite the pulpit and
press—all this pretense claiming to
com* from a human# standpoint—
thereby accomplishing their desires and
satisfy their selfleh greed. But. fel
low Georgians, remember that every
trangreaelon and disobedience shell re.
oelvq a Juet recompense of reward.
Now, how shall we escape If we neglect
ao great a salvation? Have we not
already paid heavy penalties In that of
the late war? Then we should taka
wnrnlng! Let us have such conditions
to offer Immigrants that will prove a
blessing to them aad not be detrimen
tal to the welfare of our labor already
with u*.
Pay them wages sufficient to main
tain an American standard of living.
Then, and not till then, will we be In
favor of removing the restriction on
Immigration or Inducing them to com*
her*. These conditions guaranteed,
they will Come of their own volition,
and will be of a claps that will not
degrade or lower the moral, social or
financial standing of our own people;
but will build up and bring In good
blood to be mingled with oura In tha
future, and can be absorbed as the real
demand will warrant. W# view this
matter with suspicion: It looks ta u*
that It la a move of the shrewd land
speculator and the unfair textile and
other manufacturer. If you will search
their past history one would Judge they
have but little regard for patriotism
or love of country, hut only view
things from a commercial standpoint.
There la already a great wall of pro
tective tariff thrown around our man
ufacturers, and we believe It le their
purpose to Import cheap pauper labor
that they may make larger dividends,
Juet at the time when labor le begin
ning to emancipate from under wage
slavery. When chattel slavery was
