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 kind that spun into thread belle of grower and spinner are inseparably linked together.

Hines characterizes the prospective populist convention here Wednesday, July 4. “There won't be a handful here,” he continued, “and no action le probable In reference to putlng out a state Pop ulist ticket. I laivc 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 ot repreeentatlves at 10 o'clock Wednes day morning. Basis of county repre sentation will be double the number of members ot the legislature. Exactly opposite views of the action ot 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 os gubernatorial timber. Yancey Carter has stated most em phatically that he Is not a candidate and will not permit the use of hla name. Watson and Hines are avowed adherents of Hoke Smith, and are be yond the pale of poeslbllltlee In that direction. If 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.

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. J. a. ROSSMAN. Atlanta, Oa. June 99, 1908.
