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.

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.

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. Fulton Pops to Act. Atlanta Populists are expected ti meet at the capttol Wednesday morn ing at 9 o'clock to select delegates for the convention which meets at ths capttol an hour later oh the same day.

This call Is Issued not to the late Populists, but to those who ara now Populists and will not take part In the Democratic primary. "C. T. PARKER, "Committeeman from the Fifth Diit J. W. LOWE, "Secretary.” It Is said that the Fulton county Populists wilt oppose putting out ticket. 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. J. O. ROSSMAN. Atlanta, Os. June !>, 1906. Breathing Spaces.
