The frank and unpretentious good sense with which the Farmers’ Union moves on Its even way Is one of the most hopeful and pleasing spectacles of the time. The convention of this great body of a million and a halt of bona fide farmers, which has Just adjourned at Little Bock, was signalized by the most unbroken harmony and by the moat solid and lerel-beaded good sense In Its deliberations. Ab The Georgian has previously remarked, the leadership which has been manifested In the management of the Farmers' Union has been some thing more than ordinary. When It Is remembered that those who have been at the head of this largest body of farmers that the country has ever known, are not men of previous political or large financial experience— when it Is recalled that few of them have oocupled any station of Import ance and none of them baa been trained to executive responsibility— It becomes a matter of mingled surprise and rcongratulatlon that the Farmers' Union has made no mistakes, has recorded so many successes, has preserved so even and unbroken a harmony, has recorded an almost unparalleled and progressive growth In numbers and In Influence, and Is today more powerful In progress and more prepared for the commercial battles of the future than any similar organisation In the world. It seems Impossible to explain upon ally other theory than the Inter position of Divine Providence, the wisdom and the good Judgment and admirable temper and spirit In which President Barrett of the National Union and President Duckworth of the Georgia 8tate Union and the na tional and state officers of this organization have prospered In counsel and prospered In execution as they have done. Of course no other organization of farmerz can exercise so potential an Influence with regard to markets and prices as this organisation made upj>t real farmers. It Is impossible for any organisation to prosper or to prevail In Its Judgments or In Its demands unless Jt Is fully and entirely becked by the men who make the cotton and produce the crops of the country. This Is what the Farmers’ Union does, and In plain and practical common sense, preparing Its way by creating an atmosphere of absolute unity and co-operation among Its members, by preparing warehouses In which to store the cotton which It desires to bold, they have planted them selves upon a foundation of advantage which Is absolutely commanding and invincible In the commercial developments of the future. The recent convention at Little Rock transacted much Important business, perfected many practical and valuable plans of defense and of development and after an Intelligent study of the conditions of the pres ent cotton crop and of the markets of the world, have firmly planted themselves Upon an ultimatum of 15 cents a ixiund for the present crop. This price is Justified both by the Increased cost of the production of the staple and by the shortage of the crop In Texas and In other states. No message more Important haa recently been sent to the markets of the world than this from the Little Rock convention. That It carries be hind It the power to enforce Its demands would seem to bo evident, and that It may lie ablo to do so Is the hope and the expectation of the South and Its people. The resolution of President Duckworth relating to Immigration fairly voices the majority sentiment of the Southern people and will go far to ward establishing this view as a part of the policy of the dominant party In this section and In the country at large. We congratulate the great and clear-headed army of farmers upon the splendid work wl^lch has be?n done In past years, upon the noble evi dence of continued unity and strength Illustrated at the Little Rock con vention, and wo jvlah for them the triumphant and glorious establish ment of the right which they have asserted to name the prices of that which they produce. PROTECT US FROM “THE BAG AND CABBAGE" COMPANY. THE CRY FOR UNION AMONG REAL DEMOCRATIC LEAD. ERS. An editorial recently published In The Georgian discussing the ru mored understanding between Messrs. Bryan and Hoarst and suggest ing that this union would be greatly strengthened by the establishment j of cordial relatione with Thomas E. Watson, has been wldoly copied and Indorsed. It *ls evident that' the thinking masses of the definite Democracy are ready to voice u demand tbet these and other -leaders of the Jeffersonian Democracy of the people shall got together and Join tholr talents, their Influence, and their followings for a great poople’e victory In the next national '•atqpaign. » Hero la i letter from a Chicago Democrat which ’outlines the West ern view of this necessity: Chicago, Sept. 2, 1907. Editor The Georgian: I was pleased to read In an Omaha paper of August 27,1907, that “some Interesting Tumors are afloat all over the 8outh and during the last few days have percolated Into various states north of Mason and Dixon’s line. They appeared first In The Georgian, edited by John Temple Gravee. where the editor said: TUo rumor of a political understanding botweon Mr. Hoarst and ML .Ilryan'Is exciting more than ordinary comment throughout the South and the country.' ” ’Watson, Hearat and Bryan art natural allies. With slight * ’ and Inconsequential difference they have the same political con victions. They have fought In the main for the samo reforms. They are each one pulsed through and through with the same consideration for the rights and liberties of the plain people of America. Surely no light and trivial circumstance, no small dif ferences of opinion, should separate men who see so much to fight In common and for which to hopo in patriotic and unselfish ambition. The Georgian, awaiting with such patience as It can the confirmation of the rumored understanding between Hearat and Bryan, sends out the fervent wish that It may he so: That It may be followed by the full co-operation of Thomas E. Watson,’ " The abovo statements taken In connection with the dccla- ration that the organised Democracy, at least In Georgia, has gone to the ‘scrap heap’ mukes mighty Interesting reading." Permit me also to call tho attention of Mr. Graves to a com munication. which appeared over my signature In The Investiga tor', May 15, 1907, under heading: "A Little Difficulty." "Editor Investigator: Allow me to respectfully suggest that If you and Messrs. William Rnndolph Hearn, William Jannlngs nryan, Thomas Wntson and Tom L. Johnson, mayor of Cleve land. Ohio, were to unite In one platform In the coming contest for the presidency of the United 8tates and support each other you might put up a strong battle.” Ab regards the "platform," I thought the one you and Mr Watson had when Mr. Watson last ran for president and you ror vice president of the United States was excellent. In fact the Populist party appears to have some very good Ideas. Now either Mr. Hearst or Mr. Urfan should be nominated 1 for presi dent of the United States and one of them for vice president If we are to win. However, a little difficulty presents Itself here as to which of these two gentlemen should be preferred for president. So, allow me to suggest that they might settle the question between them- selves by drawing lots. These live gentlemen I have named are patriotic and hnve the welfare of the people at hoart. But you divide your ranks and the Republican party, which we may call tho mouey power, will move solidly against you and throw you overboard. You five gentlemen might meet privately, without any fuss, and settle the matter among yourselves. "The Republicans always do the wise thing,” said a former prominent Democratic leader. "They may not all like the man they nomlnato for president; ho may not be satisfactory to a large number of the leaders, but they lay aside their personal likes and dislikes and nominate the man who will secure the largest number of electoral votes.” Permit me to state to you, Mr. Graves, In conclusion, that It looks to me ns though the Republican party would vote the man of their choice In again for president unless such men as Messrs Hearst, Bryan. Watson. Tibbies, -editor of The Investigator, and Tom L. Johnson, mayor of Cleveland, Ohio, unite and agree to work together and go solidly against the Republican party. Praying God for your health and happiness, Respectfully yours, THOMAS WRIGHT HURST. The Democratic party at-the present moment Is doing nothing; not a conference of leaders, rfot a convention of Interested members of the party, has been held. Everybody Is Just apathetically drifting behind Mr. Bryan'to the national convention of 1908. Mr. Bryan Is a good and noble gentleman and a loyal gentleman, but the absolute Incoheredcy of the Democratic party and Its utter lack of Interest and Individuality Is discouraging to the rank and file and offers little hope to the man who may be chosen to lead It The Democratic party Is In apparent and apathetic chaos. Any five resolute and well reputed men In Its ranks who would take hold of the situation and Illustrate a masterful definiteness and vigor, would control the next convention, and might be able to name the next • president of the United States. - To the Editor of The Georgian: “(Vhat’s that?” did you say? Well It’s that thing of Insatiable maw. self- named “Cab and Baggage Company." that centers at the Terminal and ra diates to every corner and cranny of Atlanta, seeking whom It may devour, on account of which chief character istic one of Its facetious Jady victims, punning upon Its name, dubbed It "The Atlanta Bag and Cabbage Company." Is there not spme power this side, the Judgment day court ground that can protect us against this dreaded and dreadful monster? Of courBe, we know that at that place And time punish ment. according to their "deeds done In the body," will be meted out to the men who constitute the company and Its human Instrumentalities: but It’s relief now that we want—relief for our selves during our sublunary peregrina tions—not punishment for them. Is there no way to get It? The suffering public, of which I am’ one, haa. and have, whined and howled and begged and cussed (?) (no, not me, but some of the others; I don’t cuss, but If I did, the muzzle would be toward the "B. & C. headquarters).’ "What’s your grievance?” did you •ay? It’s not grievance, but grlev. ancon, namely.: I do not often carry baggage that I need the services of a baggage convey ance. The one-only time I have need ed such service since the “B. & C." captured Atlanta was to convey the body of one of my family, deceased, across to the old depot. Then I atep- ped off a train' face to race with a representative. of the ”B. & C." and put the business Into his hands thnt minute, with the request that It be promptly carried. He, with assuring emphasis, replied: "It will go at once.” , Sight hours later, after repeated phoning and“& threat at last to seek police Interference, the body reached the other depot. But I have some daughters whose calling necessitates traveling, and .for some two years, through Atlanta has been a convenient route but for the baggage annoyance. And they have friends In the city they love to visit, but the pleasure in nntlcl- patlon is always mixed with dread of the pitiless "B. & C.” One of them returned from her lost trip from mid dle Georgia last Monday night. . She trusted the ”B. & O.” with her bag- gage, anti ahe got It at noon Tuesday, because they neglected to get It shipped “ Y“«- Her lust coming In before this she had a similar experience. Another one, visiting from below Atlanta from Saturday to Monday, some time ago got case, containing clothes she carried for Sunday, some time Monday, borrowing clothes from her friend to wear to church Sunday. Soon after coming home for her vacation, she trusted them again. The family was then domiciled at the farm house, a mile out of town. A hand was secured to take the wagon to bring her bag gage out, but had to go back the next day to get it. With repeated trips •ucn has been their experience, with or two exceptions, all the time. And such has been the experience of multitudes. .Many have resolved to find a way around Atlanta when possible hereafter on account of the "B. & C, Imposition In Atlanta. Now, Colonel Graves, the last appeal to you that I have noticed was to pro tect the women against cooks and washerwomen. Very well. That Is a prime desideratum with some of our women, no doubt; but with some oth ers It Is not. Some of them. If they must, cun do their own cooking some- tlmea, and sometimes a little washing, but they can not shoulder and carry their trunks from depot to depot, and to and fro between depot and places or residence or sojourn In the city, and sometimes not to got their baggage at OtlCA Urwin orri.tn 1 I. ., n .

To the Editor of The Georgian: I notice by the newspapere that the railway officials have recently appeared before the etate railroad commission on lule of rates decided upon by the commission In Juno le of course very unsatisfactory and unreasonable, aa It "J’l rreaie many complications, some ld ou ) *? y m» In of which were points,. „„ previous letters published h) The Geor.’ gmn. One Inconsistency I will repeat right here: The commission tells the W. & A. railroad that Its maximum rate shall be ? i C i* n, A P®! mlle - and at ,he same time tells the Southern railway that It Is permitted to charge 2 1-2 cents pep mile because Its net earnings In Georgia are less than those of the *v. & a. rail- road. Now, the distance between At- la 0 ta M><1 Dalton via W. & A. being 100 miles, makes the rate by that line ?! )« c t n,a P* r mlle * 2 , “gainst a rate of hr the Southern railway, based on 112 miles at 2 1-2 cents per mlle. Again, the distance between Atlanta and Chattanooga via (V. & A. being 118 m “■.. I ? ake * ,t,e rate at 2 centa per mile 12.7*, while the rate via Southern railway figures »3.80. same being based on 1(2 milts at 2 1-2 cents per mlle. (It Is true that Chattanooga la beyond effect*** l,ne ' but <hl * wl11 not a|ter the Now, I would like to oak the commie- ■Ion whether It Is expected that the Southern railway can secure passen ger* In competltnn with the (V. & A. at a difference In favor of the latter road of 80 cents between Atlanta and Dalton and 21.04 between Atlanta and Chattanooga? A 6-year-old boy would very promptly answer In the negative. If, on the other hand, It Is expected that the Southern railway will meet the « • & A. rates between these points In order to secure a share of the business, what Is the result? It It not plain that Instead of obtaining 2 1-2 cents per mile allowed by the commission It will be forced to accept about 1 3-4 cents per mlle because of Its greater mileage? The Injustice of the commission's de cision Is therefore obvtoua, many other Instances of a similar nature occurring between points of competition within the stste. The proper course for the commission to take. If not too late. Is, In the opinion of the undersigned, to cancel Its pre vious action and decide In favor of the following rates to govern on all the larger lines performing through service, via: Regular one-way tickets at 2 1-2 cents per mile: 1,000.mile books at 2 1-4 cents per mile or 122.(0; 2,0du-inile books at 2 cents per mlle or 140, the railroads being permitted to place such restrictions, on the Issue of mileage books as wilt prevent their misuse without being too burdensome. This recommendation le based on an expe rience by the writer of over tVentj years In the details of passenger traffic, and while the rates suggested would be of great assistance to the traveling pub lic. they would not. In his view, work any severe hardship on the rarriera The state railroad commission and the railway companies may perhaps consider the writer somewhat officious In publicly expressing his views with out being asked, but two years having elapsed since hla connection with the railways, the public, tn his Judgment. Is entitled to expert opinion from a dis interested source on a'queatlon In which CHAPTER Lll. Mueller Again. It was with some relief that Monica, Just two days before the date of their projected departure for Florida, found Uylvla ln^Raymond’s study one after noon, -occupied In arranging the books, papers and other belongings of the de ceased. This study was a small apartment adjoining Raymond’s bedroom, and It had always been reserve^ and kept In order exclusively for the young man, not a book or paper being removed from the position In which he had left them during his many long absences from Moorcombe. Just as the studio In the wood had been Ruth Pritchard’s special care, so had the charge of Raymond’s studjrever been Sylvia’s exclusive pre rogative. ”1 wish to give this place a thorough dusting and overhauling before I leave Moorcombe, Monica,” Sylvia said, with a little catch In her voice, as her friend entered the room. "Will you please help me, dear, to take down all the books and plies of paper from these shelves? I want to dust them prop erly." Monica was only too glad to be of some use to Sylvia. In ten minutes the shelves were cleared and the books and papers heaped on a table In read iness to.be dusted and reinstated In their accustomed places. “I have arranged with mother and father, Monica, that thle room Is never to be altered In any way, and none of these things ever removed," Sylvia said, as she went on with her task. It Is still to be Raymond's study, and no one Is ever again to have the use of Everything Is to be left exactly as It was when he occupied It; and mother has promised to attend to It during my absence.” Sylvla'e voice was steady now, but there was an Infinite sadness In Its subdued, hopeless tones. Monica felt that she could not trudt herself to speak. At this moment Dr. Mueller’s voice sounded at the study door. "May I see yeu for a few minutes, Sylvia? 1 want to tell you something Important. Your mother told me I should find you here." As he entered the room Monica quietly withdrew. The "something lm. portent” was probably for Sylvia’s ears only; and Monica always had a shrink ing horror of being "In the way" on such occasions. Mueller looked pale and anxious. He had discarded the stick a few days be fore, He took In the details of the room and the emptied shelves In one rapid glance; then his eyes rested wistfully on Sylvia's colorless face and slender — almost attenuated —black- robed figure. "Your mother mentioned to me the other day, dearest, that you felt uneasy at leaving Ruth Pritchard In her pres ent distressing state without some more up-to-date and skilled nurse to look after her In your absence than Mar tha Jenner, so I’ve taken the liberty, Sylvia, to procure an experienced wom an to fill the post. She will arrive to night; you are sure to find her satis factory, One of my qldeet and beet friends hns recommended her, so you need have no hesitation, dearest, leaving Ruth In her charge." Sylvia was genuinely grateful. Ev ery line of her face bespoke It as she glanced at him. “That Is so truly kind and thought ful of you.» I have been really un easy about leaving Ruth altogether In the hands of Martha. But now I need have no further fears on this score. I shall have a day or two to talk with her over Ruth's strange condition." "You are as deeply attached as ever, I see, to this afflicted girl, dearest, not withstanding all." “Ruth Pritchard has ever been a* a sister to me, Carl. What do you mean by ‘notwithstanding all?*” "Oh, nothing. At least, I may ex plain myself at another time,” Mueller responded hastily, and he glanced away from Sylvia's puzzled face, and, seem ingly in momentary embarrassment, turned his eyes upon a crumpled news paper lying on the top of one of the bundles of papers which Sylvia had re moved from the shelves. “An old number of The Journal?" he said, absently, as he mechanically un folded the paper and glanced down Its columns. * "Stay! There Is something marked with a blue pencil here. What Is It?" The early twilight shadows had be gun to gather In tl|e room, and Muel ler found It necessary to move closer to the wlhdow In order to ascertain what the contents of the marked para graphs were. Sylvia and he stooped together over the newspaper and si multaneously their eyes fell upon the heading: over hi* faco In the gathering shad ows. Then he crumpled the newspaper In his hand and tossed It from him to the floor with a gesture of disgust and aversion. CHAPTER LI 11. Nurse Mason. Sylvia stooped mechanically and took up the crumpled newspaper from the floor. She folded It neatly aqd placed It on tho top of the bundle from which Mueller had taken It a few min utes before. "These were Raymond's papers. I do not wish to destroy any of them. I wish to leave them always.In this room exactly as he arranged (hem when—when he was here." She did not seem to have paid any particular attention to Mueller's agi tation at sight of that marked report In the newspaper. Her thoughts were so full of the all engrossing subject that occupied them so unceasingly of late that ahe had no room In her mind for any less Important matter. Dr. Mueller hesitated for a moment, then said hastily: "The truth of It Is, Sylvia, that ‘Dr. Newell,* who was so very unpleasantly mixed up In that ugly business at the Black Horse Inn some yeurs ago, Is a very old friend and distant relation of mine, and I naturally resented the vile suspicions to which he was subjected at the time of that Ctrl's death. "(VhenSver the memory of that case Is renewed I can hardly control my temper. I heard you once—on that aft ernoon last month When you and Miss Peard came to The Hollow—express your opinion that Newell was, guilty. Your words stung me, Sylvia—al though, of course, you could have no Idea at the time tha^ this man was one of my friends.” "None, Indeed, Carl, nnd surely you will admit that the evidence seemed to suggest his guilt—from an outsid er's point of view, at least?” Yes, that is Just It—from an out sider's point of view. But an outsider never can form a Just opinion on such a matter. It is necessary to be In the court during the trial—to follow every word of the evidence, pro and con, to study the faces of witnesses and others —In order to arrive at a Just, unpreju diced decision. Had you seen Frank Newell, Sylvia, you would no longer accuse him of that cowardly crime.' Stirring a Heart. “I am sorry I did not know he was a friend of yours. Carl. Let us forget the little Incident. It Is all past and gone now. and there can be no reason for reviving It. But Raymond knew and liked that wretched girl—Pattle Pollard—and that was why he was so Intr. rested in the tragedy, and why, no doji*, he kept the reports of the news paper in this bundle.” "Don’t tnlk any more about It, dear est,” Mueller said, as he drew one of Sylvia's hands In upon his arm and lifted her Angers to his lips. ”1 shall miss you cruelly—cruelly—when you leave Moorcombe. The thought of the long winter without you Is like a night mare to me, dearest. I do not believe I can resist the temptation of paying you a flying visit to Florida soon.” “You must And me a gloomy com- y OUNG men will do well to investigate the advantages offered them by this bank in financing their busi ness.
