THE GEORGIAN COMES TO
GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE
Since truth and conatancy are vain.
Since neither love nor aepae of pain.
Nor force of reaaen can perauade,
Then let example be obeyed.
—George Granville.
Lock-Jaw and Patriotism.
Tomorrow will be the birthday of American Inde-
Incidence.
A part of the annual celebration will constat of
patriotic speeches and other exercises appropriate to the
occasion and will serve the excellent purpose of keeping
alive in the minds of the rising generation the heroism
of our 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 h!s hands nndsr the
mistaken Impression that the handling of fireworks and
toy pistols la the beat 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 aomethlng
l|ke 5,000 accidents, moat of which are fatal. An aroused
public sentiment has been taking shape for e long jtlmo
and In some communities It la no longer permitted to sell
fireworks and particularly Jha deadly little toy pistol.
In spite of this fact wo are morally certain that
the next twenty-four hours will begin the annual report
>>f accidents and deaths, many of the former resulting In
the agonies of tetanus which are a part of the yearly
tragedy. The advlco of physicians Is to keep the
wounds open to the air until they can receive medical
attention and above oil to consult a physician aa soon as
the slightest wound la sustained.
But the safest way of all la to give over the use of
these deadly contrivances altogether. They are becom
ing a menace to life and Umb. There baa been preach
ing enough on the subject. If persuasion la useless then
more stringent laws should be enacted and enforced
to meet the situation.
Dick Russell’s Strong Campaign.
It la nothing leas than truth, and nothing more than
fair to say that the political campaign conducted by the'
lion. Richard Rtusell, of Wlndor. linn been ono of tho
most phenomenal ever prosecuted by any candidate for
public office In the South. While Mr. Rusaell la essen
tially a poor man with a narrow margin of this world's
goods, hla four competitors have been without exception
men of large wealth and of tremendous Influence. While
.Mr. Russell baa 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 Influen
tial weekly papers aa their advocates and champions.
With a largo family, with an exacting bualneaa, and
almost entirely without organisation, Judge Rusaell has
prosecuted simply In tHe might and main of hla colossal
energies one of the most vivid, plcturesqus and effective
canvasses ever mado In the state of Georgia.
Ha baa spokan In every sactlon of the state. On
many days he has made as many aa eight speeches be
tween the rising and setting sun. Hla expenses made In
traveling are doubtless the smallest ever recorded by a
candidate In this or any other Southern state, and yet It
Is simply honest to say that this Indofatlgable man of
the people baa worked hla way by colossal 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
was scarcely a man In Georgia who under hla breath did
not laugh It to acorn. No man laughs It to acorn In this
day, and It Is generally conceded by the wise and alert
politicians that when the final ballots are counted Judge
Russell's vote will be found far up Into the thousands,
nml dangerously clou to the vote of the beat men In
the race.
- Tho simply Engllsh-American spirit of fair play ex
torts from tho average man an expression of admira
tion and of respect for the career of a hard square
fiiihter like this, and The Georgian, who loves Georgia
and lovea Georgians wherever they be who Illustrate the
l><>Ht qualities of the state, cannot fall, while taking no
nlilra In the present campaign, to writo n meed of praise
and of admiration for aa gallant, aa dashing, and as ef
fective a lighter aa ever fought In the ranks of a Georgia
iiolUlcal campaign.
Breathing Spaces for the People.
We publish In this afternoon's paper another com
munication from Mr. J. G. Rossman on the subject of
breathing spaces for the people of Atlanta. This agitation
In favor of the system of small parks has met with the
moat cordial Interest and support evpr since It was begun
several weeks ago In the columns oj The Georgian
It la realised that while real eatate at the present
time Is held at a high figure, price* arlll advance still
further as the years go by, and it will be an the more
difficult to purchase property for the purpoee In view.
Atlanta la growing rapidly and every year sees an addi
tion to the number of lofty skyscrapers within the city
limits, bat while we are growing thus In brick and mortar
there la no effort to multiply the number of breathing
splices where the people of the present and the future
may enjoy that recreation which la essentia! to municipal
lire.
From no quarter do we hear the slightest opposition
10 this movement In response to The Georgian's ap-
ju-ul that our readers mark the ballots printed on another
i>.ls and forward-them to us, a number of votes have
been received at The Georgian office, and they are unani
mously in favor of the project Only one of these bal
lots opposes the Idea of securing a permanent charter
from the legislature for m civic commission to take
charge of the breathing spaces and keep them In per
pctulty for the use of the people.
It Is to secure such expressions as this that we have
printed the ballot alluded to. nnd It would be Int
Ing to know the grounds of this single opposition to tb
plan proposed.
To our mind qnd In (he opinion of a largo majority
of those who have discussed the question, it would serve
every good nnd efficient end to establish thin permanc
civic 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 means with
charitable Inclinations to make bequests to the public
in furtherance of this movement for small parks.
The citizens of every walk of life are lending their
encouragement to the movemenL Not only'the poorer
classes, who would be In a large measure the beneficia
ries of these breathing spaces, but men and women of
property who would be called upon to pay their pro
portionate amount of the coat are equally enthusiastic
In favor of the movement.
It should not be allowed to languish lor one moment
until success haa crowned our efforts, and we hope to
hear from hundreds more of our citizens on this vital
subject*within the next few weeks, and certainly In am
ple time to > ecu re the desired charter from the present
legislature.
A New Clear Plan for the Cotton Crop.
* The grower of cotton Is the distinct and definite no
bleman of the Industrial South.
Around him and hla possessions revolve the prosper
ity hnd the glory of this section, and upon hla policies,
his work and hla achievements hang the prosperity or the
adversity of these great Southeastern states.
The Imperial staple.la the one thing that separates
and magnifies this section above every other part of the
civilised world. We may measure with other countries
the growth and. development of 'other Industries, but
along this line and In the white staple of our Southern
fields we are supreme, preeminent 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 South than the production and
the handling of thla Imperial staple. How we can reduce
our cotton crop to the measure of the world's necessi
ties—bow we can sell the crop which we raise At the
beat prices to the producer, and how we can utilize all
the by-products of this majestic plant to the profit of
the producer and to the section. These are the problems
which are vitally near to tho. heart and to the purse
of the solid South.
The Cotton Growers' Association has been a great
and puissant factor In the prosperity o( cotton. It has
done noble and essential work, and by reason of the
birth and of the brief but strenuous life of this great
organization, cotton today holds Its hand higher In the
markets of the world and la stronger and greater, and
more Independent than It haa ever been before. But no
organisation was ever brought to full perfection In ita
first and Initial effort Natural Improvements will come
and amendments, year by year, which will perfect this
organization aa time and statesmanship perfect govern
ment.
And tha Cotton Growers' Association, while It has
done muoh, has not been able to. accomplish all that It
set out to do.
Among the men who have thought deeply nnd wlso-
ly upon this great question of the cotton crop Is a gen
tleman of CowOtq county, himself a member In high
standing of the Cotton Growers' Association, a planter,
a warehouseman and a factor. This man Is ,W. A. Bran
non, of Moreland, Coweta county. He Is young, strong,
clear-headed, vital and consecrated to his theme, and
Mr. Brannon has developed a plan which he states briefly
and with such simplicity that It must appeal to the Intel
llgent understanding of thoughtful men everywhere.
Mr. Brannon's plan la for the handling of the cotton
crop, for the protection of the surplus, for the withdraw
ing of any overplus of bales which may cumber the mar
ket, and upon this plan ho haa already received the high
Indorsement of the Hon. llarvle Jordan, president of tho
Cotton Growers' Association, and of the Hon. John D.
Walker, that astute young financier who has done so
much aa the treasurer of the cotton association, and of
a multitude of the strongest and beat thinkers of the
cotton men of Georgia.
Hla own little village of Moreland, upon the mere
presentation of thfc plan, has subscribed over 13,000 to the
stock of the company which Mr. Brannon proposes.
On tomorrow, the Fourth of July, this plan will be
discussed In a formal aeaalon of the Coweta cotton grow
ers held at Newnan. The banka and financiers of that
able and progressive city are eolldly behind Mr. Bran
non's plan, and It la generally believed that there will be
launched on that day s at Newnan a plan which will go far
toward rewriting and re-establishing a declaration of
splendid Independence for the cotton crop of the South.
Under these circumstances, what could an entar-
prising paper like The Georgian do but send a man to
see Mr. Brannon at hla borne In Moreland, and ask him
In brisf the outlines of hla plans?
This The Georgian did, ahd we give today In brief
but sufficient form, Aha explanation of the author of tti-i
measure tor the benefit of all who are Interested In the
growth of cotton In Georgia and the South.
Thla matter will be taken up at an early day before
a full conference of cotton men In Atlanta, Including
President Jordan, Treasurer Walker, Btate President
Johnaon, and will be given a full sifting before presenta
tion to the cotton growers of the country.
The Georgian visiting Mr. Brannon at bis home at
Moreland, said to him:
“We understand you are submitting s plan to the
Cotton Growers' Association to protect the price ot cotton
and give the staple a more stable price. Would you ob
ject to telling us the details of your plan?"
Mr. Brannon promptly answered:
- “I cannot see any Impropriety In doing ao. While
I have no positive assurance that my Idea will be adopted
by the various state and county branches of the associa
tion, my plan haa been submitted to Hon. llarvle Jordan,
of Atlanta, and Mr. John D. Walker, of Sparta. Ga.. aa
also to a large number of ray Coweta friends, all ot
whom, without any exception of my knowledge, unhesi
tatingly give It their Indorsement.
“The proposition la 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 juat aa large In each county aa can be obtained
by subscription, sates ot ftO per share. Then If these
companies feel Inclined to be advised and buy. carry, or
sell cotton about the same time, It would be their right
to do ao, and I am legally Informed, without violating any
law. If Southern banka in their patriotism, are dis
posed to allow these various companies Interest on their
capital stock, all being In cash and lying In their vaults,
Bouthern patriotic Individual depositors would not grow
jealous."
“What do you estimate would be the aggregate cap
ital of the various companies?"
“I would aay bet wren 130,000,000 and 160,000,000.
Even with the minimum sum we could control 3,440.000
bales."
“Do you mean spot cotton, or contracts?"
“Away with your contracts, or I would aay bucket
shop paper. I mean spot cotton, the only kind that la

The mass meeting of the Populists,
as called by Chairman J. J. Holloway,
will meet In the hall of the house ot

Yancey Carter has stated most em

Breathing Spaees.
To the Editor of Tha Georgian:
It Is gratifying to know that we are
meeting with success and encourat
menl In our efforts to secure breai
ing spaces In Atlanta. Your strong
editorials hare been read and favor
ably commented upon by nearly every
one I -have discussed the matter with.
1 trust the clthtena wilt realise the ne
cessity of organising without delay, and
that In a movement of this magnltuds
every citizen must respond and encour
age Uje movement with his presence
and Idyal active support. We are fa
miliar with the expression that “what
la every one's business is no one's
business." and It la applicable to this
movement.
I will not endeavor to emphasise what
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
temporary organization at an
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 ot the
practical support of all social, commer
cial, religious, charitable and other or:
ganlzed associations In Atlantal Ws
need definite and well-defined expres
sions from them and their wllllngnees
to co-operate. I should like especially
to have expression! from the labor or
ganisations of the city. So far ae I
know, labor organisations bars not ex-
f iressed an opinion on this -movement,
n order to facilitate the preliminary
work of thla organisation, 1 trust that
the officials and committess ot organ
ised clubs and associations of this city
will take such steps as are necesaary-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 sufficient enthusiasm to In
sure a delegation at the first mass
meeting called for perfecting plana for
a temporary organisation.
In conclusion, let me urge again the
necessity of support from every organ
ised labor, religious, social, charitable
and commercial association In Atlanta.
Let ue hope we will hear from .them.
We should organise so that a legisla
tive charter can b« secured at thla
session, aa we cannot appeal to the
people to vote bonds or contribute until
the legal and bualneaa organisation Is
perfeettd.
. NOW Is the time to push ths move
ment during the HOT DAYS, when
suffering humanltj- cries out aloud for
thla relief.
