THE GEORGIAN COMES TO
GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE
8lne« truth and constancy ire vain.
Since neither love nor aenie of pain,
Nor force of reaaon can perauade,
Then let example be obeyed.
—George Granville.
Lock-Jaw and Patriotism.
Tomorrow will be the birthday of American Inde
pendence.
A pert of the annual celebration will eonslat of
patriotic apeechea and other ezerelaea appropriate to the
occaelon and will aenre the excellent purpoae of keeping
alive In the mlnda of the rising generation the heroism
of onr forefathers and the nobility of the cause for
which they fought
But this la becoming more and more a day on which
young America takes hla life In bis bands under the
mistaken Impression that the handling of fireworks and
toy pistols Is the best way of demonstrating hla patriot
ism. The record of death and disability on these re
curring anniversaries la becoming positively appalling.
It can be estimated with almost mathematical nicety
that on the Fourth of July, and the few days Immediate
ly succeeding and preceding It. there will be something
like 6.000 accidents, moat of which are fatal. An aroused
public -sentiment has bean taking shape for a long time
»nd In some communities It la no longer permitted to sail
n reworks and particularly the deadly little toy pistol.
In spite of this fact wa are morally certain that
the next twenty-four hours will begin the annual report
of accidents and deaths, many of the former resulting In
the agonies of tetanua which are a part of the yearly
tragedy. The advice of physicians la to keep the
wound* open to the air until they can receive medical
attention and above all to consult a physician as soon as
the slightest wound la sustained.
But the latest way of all la to give over the uae of
theso deadly contrivances altogether. They are becom
ing a menace to life and limb. There has been preach
ing enough on the subject. U persuasion Is useless then
morn stringent lawn should be enacted and enforced
to meet the situation.
Dick Russell’s Strong Campaign.
It la nothing leas than truth, and nothing more than
f.ilr to aay that the pollUcal campaign conducted by the
Hon. Richard Russell, of Winder, baa been one of the
most phenomenal ever prosecuted by any candidate for
public ofilce Is the South. While Mr. Russell la essen
tially a poor man with a narrow margin of this world's
r oods, hla four competitors have been without exception
men of large wealth and of tremendous Influence. While
Mr. Russell has had no dally, and scarcely a weekly paper
behind him In hla race, each of these gentlemen has had
either a powerful dally or one or two strong and Inltuen-
dal weekly papers aa their advocates and champions,
With a large family, with an exacting business, and
almost entirely without organisation, Judge Ruaaell has
prosecuted simply In the might and main of hla colossal
energies one of the moat vivid, picturesque and effective
canvasses ever made In the state of Georgia.
He has spoken In every section of the state. Oh
many days he has made as many as eight speeches be
tween the rising and setting sun. Hla expenses made In
traveling are doubtless the smalleat ever recorded by a
ciiidldstB In this or any other Southern state, and yet It
iK limply honest to aay that this Indefatigable man of
the people has worked hla way by coloaaal energy and by
keen strong tongue and a vigorous, active brain, and an
absolutely dauntless heart up Into the front rank of the
state campaign.
When Judge Russell's canvass was begun, there
u ni scarcely a man In Georgia who under bis breath did
not laugh It to scorn. No man laughs It to scorn In this
ila/, and It Is generally conceded by the wise and alert
politician* that when the final ballots are counted Judge
HuuoH'i vote will be found far up Into the thousands,
and dangerously close to the vote of the beat men In
the race. *
The simply Engllsh-Amertcan spirit of fair play ex
torts from the average man an expression of admira
tion and of respect for the career of a hard square
hit liter like this, and The Georgian, who loves Georgia
an>t loves Oeorgtans wherever they be who Illustrate tho
bout qualities of the state, cannot fall, whlla taking no
r-t.loa In the present campaign, to write a meed of pratse
and of admiration for a* gallant, a* dashing, and a* ef
fective a fighter as aver fought In the ranks of a Georgia
imlltlcal campaign.
Breathing Spaces for the People.
We publish In this afternoon's paper another com.
muni ration from Mr. J. O. Rossman on the subject of
breathing spares for the people of Atlanta. This agitation
in favor of the system of small parka has' met with the
mutt cordial Interest and support ever slues It was begun
several weeks ago In the columns of The Oeorgian,
It Is realised that while real estate at the present
time la held at a high figure, prices will advance still
further as the years go by, and It will be all the more
difficult to purchase property for the purpose In view.
Atlanta I* growing rapidly andfevery year sees an addi
tion to the number of lofty skyscrapers within tbe city
limits, but while we are growing thus In brick and mortar
there Is no effort to multiply tbe number of breathing
spaced where the people of the present and the future
may enjoy that recreation which I* essential to municipal
life.
From no quarter do we bear the slightest opposition
to this movement In response to The Georgian's ap-
paal that our readers mark th* ballots printed on another
pat* and forward them to us. a number of vote* have
been received at Tbe Georgian ofilce. and they are unani
mously in favor of the project Only one of these hel
ium opposes the Idee of securing e permanent charter
from the legislature for a civic commission to take
riinrge of tbe breathing spaces and keep them In per
p ilty for the use of the people.
It to to secure such expression* a* this that wa have
printed the ballot alluded to, and It would be Interest
ing to know the grounds of this single opposition to the
plan proposed.
To eur mind and In the opinion of a large majority
of those who have discussed the question. It would serve
every good and efficient end to establish this permanent
dric commission as guardians of our park system. It
would be a guarantee that the property thus dedicated
to public use would never be alienated for other purposes,
and would be an encouragement to men of raeanB with
charitable Inclinations to make bequests. to the public
In furtherance of this movement for small park*
The citlient of every wglk of life are lendlDg their
encouragement to tbe movement. Not only the poorer
claasee, who would be In a large meaanre the bcneflcla
rlea of these breathing apace*, but men and women of
property who would be called upon to pay their pro
portionate amount of tbe cost are equally enthusiastic
In favor of the movement
It should not be allowed to languish lor one moment
until success hat crowned our efforts, and we hope to
bear from hundred* more of our cltlxens on this vital
subject within the next few weeks, and certainly In am
ple time to tecure the desired charter from the present
legislature.

The grower of cotton Is the distinct and definite no
bleman of the Industrial South.
Around him and hla possessions revolve the prosper
ity and the glory of this section, and upon bis policies,
hla work and hla achievements hang the prosperity or the
adversity of these great Southeastern states.
The Imperial staple la the one thing that separate*
and magnifies this section above every other part of the
civilized world. We may measure with other countries
th* growth and development of other Industries, but
along tbls line and In the white staple of our Southern
fields we are supreme, pre-eminent and unrivaled now
and forever.
It would seem, therefore, that no part of our sec
tional life should Invoke more serious and more conse
crated thought from every Industrial brain and commer
cial Intelligence In the 8outh than the production and
tbe handling of this Imperial staple. How we can reduce
our cotton crop to the measure of th* world's necessi
ties—bow vfe can sell the crop which we raise at tbe
best prices to the producer. aDd how we can utilise all
the by-products of this majestic plant to tbe profit of
tbe producer and to the section. Tbeie are tbe problems
which are vitally near to the heart and to the purse
of the solid South.
The Cotton Growers' Association baa been a great
and puissant factor In the prosperity of cotton. It has
done noble and essential work, and by reason of the
birth and of tbe brief but strenuous life of this great
organization, cotton today holds Us head higher In tbe
markets of tbe world and Is stronger and greater, and
more Independent than It has ever been before. But no
organization was aver brought To ful! perfection In Its
first and Initial effort. Natural Improvements will come
and amendments, year by year, which will perfect this
organization as time and statesmanship perfect govern
ment
And th* Cotton Growers' Association, while It has
dona much, has not been able to accomplish all that It
sat out to do.
Among the men who have thought deeply and wise
ly upon this grpat question of tho cotton crop Is a gen
tleman of Coweta county, himself a member In high
standing of the Cotton Growers' Association, a planter,
a warehouseman and a factor. This man la W. A. Bran
non, of Moreland, Coweta county. He la young, strong,
clearheaded, vital and consecrated to hla theme, and
Mr. Brannon has developed a plan which he states briefly
and with such simplicity that It must appeal to the Intel
ligent understanding of thoughtful men everywhere-
Mr. Brannon's plan la for tbe handling of the cotton
crop, for th* protection of the surplus, for the withdraw
ing of any overplus of bales which may cumber the mar
ket, and upon this plan he baa already received the high
Indorsement of the Hon. Harvfe Jordan, president of the
Cotton Orowera' Association, and of the Hon. John D.
Walker, that astute young flnanclor who has done so
much aa the treasurer of tbe cotton association, and of
a multitude of the strongest and best thinkers of the
cotton men of Georgia.
Hla own little village of Moreland, upon the mere
presentation of She plan, has subscribed over $3,000 to the
slock of the company which Mr. Brannon proposes.
On tomorrow, the Fourth of July, this plan will bo
dlacuasod In a formal session of the Coweta cotton grow
ers held at Newnan. The banks and financiers of that
able and progressive city are solidly behind Mr. Bran
non's plan, and It la generally believed that there will be
launched on that day at Newnan a plan which will go far
toward rewriting and re-eatabllahlng a declaration of
splendid Independence for the cotton crop of the South.
Under these circumstances, what could an enter
prising paper like The Georgian do but'send a man to
Mr. Brannon at hla home In Moreland, and ask him
In brief tbe outlines of hi* plans?
This The Georgian did, and wa give today In brief
but sufficient form, tbe explanation of the author of tl-»i
measure for the benefit of all wbo are Interested In tho
growth of cotton In Georgia and the 8outh.
This matter will be taken up at an early day before
a full conference of cotton men In Atlanta, Including
President Jordan, Treasurer Walker, State President
Johnson, and will be given a full sifting before presenta
tion to the cotton growers of the country.
The Georgian visiting Mr. Brannon at hla horn* at
Moreland, said to him:
“We understand you are submitting a plan to the
Cotton Growers' Association to protect the price of cotton
and give th* staple a more stable price. Would you ob
ject to telling ua the details of your plan?”
Mr. Brannon promptly answered: v
"I cannot see any Impropriety In doing so. While
I have no positive assurance that my Ides will be adopted
by the various state and county branches o? the associa
tion, my plan has been submitted to Hon. Harvle Jordan,
of Atlanta, and Mr- John D. Walker, of Sparta. Ga., as
also to a large number of my Coweta hiends, all of
whom, without any exception of my knowledge, unheal-
tatlngly give It their Indorsement.
“The proposition Is this: Form a company In every
cotton growing county to buy and sell cotton, borrow and
loan money: each company to be Incorporated under a
separate and distinct charter, there being no financial
connection between them. The capital stock la to be
made just aa large In each county aa can be obtained
by subscription, sale* at $10 per abara. Then If these
companies feel inclined to be advised and buy. carry, or
tell cotton about th* same time. It would-be their right
to d6 so. and I am legally Informed, without violating any
tew. If Southern banks la their patriotism, are dis
posed to allow these various companies Interest on their
capital stock, all being In cash and lying In their vaults.
Southern patriotic Individual depositors would not grow
jMlOHB.”
"What do you estimate would be the aggregate cap
ital of tbe various companies?”
"I would aay between. $30,000,040 and $60,000,000.
Even with the minimum sum we could control 3.000.000
bales.”
Do you mean spot cotton, or contracts?”
Away with your contracts, or | would say bucket
shop paper. I mean spot cotton, tha only kind that la
will prove their wlQJagncs* rapidly as hooka are thrown
open for aubscriptlon throughout the various states and
counties. The cotton growers have received In round
numbers about six hundred million dollars each tor their
laat two crops of cotton. This is sufficient to demonstrate
their present ability, and It stands to reaaon that as an
Intelligent people, they would be willing to put tip 5 per
cent of one crop to protect tbelr Interest for all future
crops, to say nothing of the prospects for reasonable div
idends."
"How.about the spinners? If your movement should
be successful from the standpoint of the grower, would
It not bo disastrous to the milter’
"Not at all. Intelligent spinners want a more stable
price for the raw material. Severe declines subject hla
products to demoralizing price*. Tbe financial destiny
d»r your plan that you will not fix the price too high for
his comfort?"
"It would never do to 'kill the goose that lays the
golden egg-’ The successful manacement of any business
requires the use of brains, as well as money. It Is our
purpose to Invite the spinner to take stock with us. and
to Join us In a Just war against our common enemy, the
speculator, who neither 'tolls nor spins,' but Interloper
as he Is, alternately robs us both of our legitimate mar
gins. I may have more to tell you later, after our antic
ipated conference, which takes place a few days hence
with a select number of growers and spinners. I will
aay, however, liofora parting, thr- first subscriptions to
this great movement (antielggllaffMMgMgMliliitfff) have
already been subscribed la Mf am NtOa vfflag* MMUtt
ing to several thousand dollars."

"A FLASH IN PAN"
SAYS JUDGE HINES
"A flash In the pan."
So Judge J. K. Hines characterises
tbe prospective populist convention
here Wednesday, July 4.
"There won’t be a handful here," he
continued, "and no action Is probable
In reference to putlng out a state Pop
ulist ticket. I have hundreds of let
ters from Populists all over the state
who oppose the Idea of a ticket, and
say they are willing to be led by ad
vice of Tom Watson and myself."
The mass meeting of the Populists,
as called by Chairman J. J. Holloway,
will meet In the hall of the house of
representatives at 10 o’clock Wednes
day morning. Baste of county repre
sentation will be double the number of
members of the legislature.
Exactly opposite views of the action
of the convention are taken by Chair
man Holloway and Yancey Carter.
Whose dictum will prove correct?
It Is singular that with the conven
tion only two days away the name of
no Populist looms out aa gubernatorial
timber.
Yancey Carter has stated most em
phatically that he Is not a candidate
and will not permit the uee of his
name. Watson and Hines are avowed
adherents of Hoke Smith, and are be
yond the pale of possibilities In that
direction.
It a ticket Is decided on, who will
lead the Populists? That Is the ques
tion now asked by many. Only Wed
nesday will give the answer.

has been already so well brought out
about the benefits of the breathing
spaces, but hope to enlist the support
of all classes In the formation of q
temporary organization at an early
date.
Organization is essential If the move
ment Is to be followed up and success
Is to be the reward of our efforts. Ws
need not only the good wishes and en
couragement of Individuals, but I de
sire to lay stress on our need of the
practical support of all social, commer
cial, religious, charitable and other or
ganized associations In Atlanta. We
need definite and well-defintd expres
sions from them and their willingness
to co-operate. I should like especially
to have expressions from the labor or
ganlzatlons of the city. ■ So far as
know, labor organisations have not tx-
f ireaasd an opinion on this movement
n order to facilitate the prallmlnar:
work of this organisation, I trust tha
the officials and committees of organ
Ised clubs and associations of tbls eltir
will take such steps as are necessary to
bring this matter squarely before their
people and secure at as early a date
as possible resolutions either for or
against the movement, or at, any event
work up zufflclent enthusiasm to In
sure a delegation at the first mess
meeting celled for perfecting plans tor
s temporary organisation.
In conclusion, let me urge again the
necessity of support from every organ
ised labor, rellirious, social, charitable
and commercial association In Atlanta
Let us hope we will hear from them.
We should organise so that a legisla
tive charter can be secured at this
session, as we cannot appeal to the
people to vote bonds or contribute until
the legal and business organisation Is
perfected.
NOW Is the time to push the move
ment during the HOT DAYS, when
suffering humanlt* cries out aloud for
this relltf.
