A part ot tbe annual celebration will conelst ot P itrlotle speeches and other exercleea appropriate to the occasion and will aenre the excellent purpoae of keeping alive In the mlndi of the rising generation the berolem »f our foretatheri and the nobility of the cauae for which they fought nut this la becoming more and more a day on which young America take* hta life In hla hande under the mistaken Impression that the handling of fireworks end toy pistols is the beat way of demonatratlng hla patriot ism. Tho record of death and disability on these re curring anniversaries la becoming positively appalling. It can be estimated with almost mathematical nicety thnt on the Fourth of July, and the fow days Immediate ly succeeding and preceding It, there will be something like 6,000 accidents, most of which are fatal. An aroused public sentiment has been taking shape for a long time nnd In somo communities It la no longer permitted to aell flit-works and particularly the deadly little toy pistol. In spite of this fact we are morally cartaln that tin next twenty-four houra will begin tbe annual report nt accident* and jtaths, many of tbe former resulting In the n conies of tetanus which are a part of tbe yearly tragedy.

But the aafeat way of all la to give over the uae of those deadly contrivancaa altogether. They are becom ing a menace to life and limb. There haa been preach ing enough on the aubJecL If perauaalon la uaeleas then more stringent laws ahoutd be enacted and enforced to meet the situation. Dick. Russell’s Strong Campaign. It la nothing lean than truth, and nothing more than fair to say that the pollUcal campaign conducted by the Hon. Richard Russell, of Winder, has been one ot tbe moat phenomenal ever prosecuted by any candidate for public office In the South. While Mr. Russell Is essen tially a poor man with a narrow margin of this world's goods, hla four competitors have been without excepUon men of large wealth and ot tremendous Influence. While Mr. Russell has had no dally, and scarcely a weekly paper behind him In hla race, each ot these gentlemen ha* had <-lther a powerful dally or one or two strong and Influen tial weekly papers as their advocate* and champions. With a large family, with an exacting business, and nlmoat enUrcly without organisation, Judge Russell has prosecuted simply In tho might and main of hla colossal energies one of the moat vivid, picturesque and effective ranvaaaee ever made In the state of Oeorgla. He has spoken In every section of the state. On many daya he has made ai many as eight speeches be tween the rising and sotting sun. Hla expenses made In traveling are doubtleas the smallest ever recorded by a < sndldate In this or any other Southern state, and yet It Is simply honest to say that this Indefatigable man ot tho people hae worked bli way by colossal energy and by keen strong tongue and a vigorous, aoUre brain, and an absolutely dauntless heart up Into th* front rank of tb* state campaign. When Judge Russell's canvass was begun, there was scarcely a man In Oeorgla who under hla breath did not laugh It to scorn. No man laughs It to scorn In this ilay, $nd It la generally conceded by tbe wtae and alert i-olltlclans that when tho final ballots are counted Judgo itusscH'a vote will be found far up Into the thousands, mid itangerously close to the vote of th* beat men In tho race. The tlmply Engllah-American spirit a of fair play ex tort* from the average man an expression of admira tion and of respect for the career ot a bard iquare fighter like this, and Th* Georgian, who loves Georgia mid loves Georgians wherever they be who Illustrate the beet qualities of the state, cannot fall, while taking no t-M'is In the present campaign, to writo a meed ot praise a ad of admiration for as gallant, aa dashing, and as ef fective a fighter as ever fought In the ranks of a Georgia pollUcal campaign. Breathing Spaces for the People. We publish In this afternoon's paper another com- mtmlcallou from Mr. J. O. Roeaman on the subject ot breathing spaces for the people of Atlanta. This agitation In favor of the system of small parks has met with the most cordial Interest and support ever since It was begun h- vcral weeks ago In the columns of The Gedkglan. It Is realised that while real estate at the present t.mo Is held at a high figure, prices will advance sUII further as the years go by, and It will he all tbe more •lifficult to purchase property for the purpose In view. Atlanta Is growing rapidly and every year sees an addi tion to the number of lofty skyscrapers within the city limits, but while we are growing thus In brick and mortar there Is no effort to multiply tbe number of breathing r-paces where tbe people of the present and the futuf# may enjoy that recreation which Is essential to municipal life. From no quarter do we hear the slightest opposition to this movement In response to The Georgian's ap- paal that our readers mark tbe ballots printed on another i-apti and forward them to us, a number of votes have been received at The Georgian office, and they are unanl- moukly In favor ot the project Only one of these bal lots oppose* th* Idas of securing a permanent charter from tbe legislature for a civic commission to take charge of the breathing spaces and keep them In per- pc fitly for the use of the people. It is to secure such expressions as this that era have printed the ballot alluded to. and It would he Interest ing to know the grounds of this single opposition to the plan proposed. To our mind and In (he opinion of a large majority ot those who have discussed the question. It would serve every good and efficient end to establish this permanent civic commission as guardians of our park system. It would be a guarantee that th* property thus dedicated to public use would never be alienated for other purposes, and would be an encouragement to men of means with charitable Inclination* to make bequests to th* public in furtherance of this movement for smalt pofks. The citizen* of every walk of Ilf* are lending their encouragement to tbe movement. Not only the poorer class**, who would be In a large measure the bcneflcln 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 has crowned our efforts, and we hop* to hear from hundreds more of our cltlxens on tbla vital subject within the next few weeks, and certainly In am pie time to leeure the desired charter from tbe present legislature. A New Clear Plan for the Cotton Crop. legitimate, the only kind that can he spun into thread or cloth.” "Do you believe the people of the cotton states can. or will raise this enormous amount of money to lay in the banks. alrnoKt Idle, at I . m i.nl; drawing tie- owners 3 to 4 per rent?” " v es. sir, I believe Ihey are able, and I feel sure they will prove their willingness rapidly as books are throwyi der open for subscription throughout the various states and his comfort counties. The cotton growers have received In round "It would n numbers about six hundred million dollars each for their golden egg ’ Th Tbe grower of cotton Is the distinct and definite no bleman of the Industrial South. Around him and Ms possessions revolve the prosper ity and the glory of tbla section, and upon hla policies, hi* work and hla achievements hang tb* prosperity or the adversity of these greet Southeastern state*. Tbe imperial staple Is the one thing that separata* •nd magnifies thl* lection above every other part of the clvillted world. We may measure with other countries th* growth and development of other Industrie*, but along thl*. line and In the white staple of our Bouthern field* we are supreme, preeminent and unrivaled now and forever. It would seem, therefore, that no part of our sec tional life ahould Invoke more serioa* end more conse crated thought from every Industrial brain and commer cial Intelligence in the South than tbe production and the handling of this Imperial staple. How we can reduce our cotton crop to the measure of th* world's necessi ties—how we can sell th* crop which we raise at tbe beat price* to the producer, and how we can utilise all the by-products of thl* majestic plant to the profit of the producer and to the section. These are the problema which are vitally near to tho heart and to the purse of the solid South. v Tbe Cotton Growers' Association baa been a groat and puliaant factor In the prosperity of cotton. It haa done noble and essential work, and by reason of the birth and of tbe brief but atrenuoue life of thl* great organisation, cotton today bold* Its head higher In the markets of the world and la stronger and greater, and more Independent than It has ever been before. But no organisation was ever brought to full perfection In Its first nnd Initial effort. Natural Improvement* will come and amendments, year by year, which will perfect this organisation aa time and statesmanship perfect govern ment. And th* Cotton Grower*' Association, while It haa done much, has not been able to accomplish all that it set out to do. Among the men who have thought deeply and wise ly upon this great question of tbe cotton crop Is a gen tleman of Coweta county, himself n member In high standing ot the Cotton Growers' Association, a planter, warehouseman and a factor. This man I* W. A. Bran non, ot Moreland, Coweta county. He Is young, strong, clearheaded. vital nnd consecrated to his themo, and Mr. Brannon has developed a plan which he states briefly and with such simplicity that It must appeal to tbe Intel ligent understanding of thoughtful men everywhere. Mr. Brannon's plan Is for the handling ot tbe cotton crop, for the protection of the surplus, for the withdraw ing of any overplus of bates which may cumber th* mar ket, and upon this plan he haa already received the high Indorsement of the Hon. Harvle Jordan, president of the Cotton Growora' Association, nnd of tho- Hon. John D. Walker, that astuto young financier who has done so much as the treasurer of the cotton association, and of multitude ot the strongest and beat thinkers of the cotton men of Georgia. Hla own little village of Moreland, upon tbe mere presentation of the plan, haa subscribed over $3,000 to the stock of tho company which Mr. Brannon proposes. On tomorrow, the Fourth of July, this plan will be discussed In a formal session of the Coweta cotton grow ers held at Newnan. The books and financiers of that able and progressive elty are solidly behind Mr. Bran’ non'* plan, and It Is generally believed that there will be launched on that day at Newnan a plan which will go far toward rewriting and reestablishing a declaration of splendid Independence for tbe cotton crop of the South. Under thee* elroumstancea, what oould an enter- prising paper like The Georgian do but send a man to see Mr. Brannon at hla home In Moreland, and aak him In brief the outlines of hla plans? This The Georgian did, and w* give today In brief but sufficient form, the explanation of the author of tb** measure for the benefit of all who are Interested In the growth of cotton In Oeorgla and the South. ' This matter will be taken up at an early day before full conference ot cotton men In Atlanta, Including President Jordan, Treasurer Walker, State President Johnooa, sod will be given a full sifting before presenta tion to the cotton growers of the country. The Oeorglan visiting Mr. Brannon at hla home at Moreland, said to him: "Wo understand you are submitting a plan to the Cotton Growers' Association to protect tbe price ot cotton and give tbe ottple a more stable price. Would you ob ject to telling ue the details of your plan?" Mr. Brannon promptly answered: “I cannot see any Impropriety In doing so. 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 has been anbmltted to Hon. Harvle Jordan, of Atlanta, and Mr. John D. Walker, of 8parta, Ga , as also to a large number of my Coweta friends, all of whom, without any exception of my knowledge, unhesi tatingly give It their Indorsement. "The proposition Is this: Form a company In every cotton growing county to buy and sail 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 Is to be made Just as large In each county aa can be obtained by subecriptlon, sales at $10 per share. Then If these companies feel Inclined to be advised and buy. carry, or sell cotton about tbe same time. It would be their right to do so, 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 eaah and lying In their vault*, Southern patriotic Individual depositors would not grow Jealous." "What do yon estimate would be tbe aggregate cap ita) of the various companies?" “I would say between $30,004,000 and $40,000,000. Even with the minimum sum we could control 3,000,000 “Do you mean spot cotton, or contracts?" “Away with yonr contracts, or I would say bucket ■hop paper. 1 mean spot cotton, the only kind that Is last two cropB of cotton. This Is sufficient to demonstrate their present ability, nnd It stands to reason that ns on Intelligent people, they would be willing to put up 5 per cent of one crop to protect their Interest for all future crops, to aay nothing of th* prospects for reasonable div idends.'* "How about the spinners? If your movement should be successful from tho standpoint of the grower, would It not be disastrous to the miller’ “Not at all. Intelligent spinners want a more stable price for the raw material. Severe declines subject bis products to demoralizing prices. The' financial destiny ‘•f grower and spinner are Inseparably linked together I’ndor the uncertain methods now extant, the speculator dethrones the dignity of both and makes the business of growing and spinning largely speculative, when both should be purely legitimate and afford at all times rea •onablt* margins.” What assurance, though, will the spinner have ur plan that you will not fix the price too high to ) to ‘kill the goose that lays tho ssful management of any business juires tho uso of brains, as well as money.

I may have moro 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 say, however, before parting, tbe first subscriptions to this great movement (anticipating success as we do) have already been subscribed in my own little village amount ing to several thousand dollars/* GEORGIA NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS Fair Building, Ordered, tprdil to Tb, Georgian.

Hines characterises the prospective populist convsntlon 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 ny 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. Rasta ot county repre sentation will be double th* number of members of the legislature. Exactly opposite views of the action of the convrntlon are taken by Chair man Holloway and Yancey Carter. Whose dictum will prove correct? It Is singular that with the conven tlon only two day* away the ngm* of no Populist looms out as gubernatorial timber. Yancey Carter has stated most em phatlcally that he la not a candidate and will not permit the use of hla name. Watson and Hines are avowed adherent* of Hoke Smith, and are be yond the pale of possibilities In that direction. If a ticket 1* decided on, who wilt lead the Populists? That Is the ques tion now asked by many. Only Wed nesday will give the answer. Fulton Pops to Act.

We need not only the good wishes and em couragement of Individuals, but I de alre to lay stress on our r.ecd of the practical support ot all social, commer cial, religious, charitable and other or ganised Usoclsti ii" In Atlanta. We need definite and well-defined expres sions from them and their, willingness to co-operate. I should like especially Ito have expressions from the labor or ganisations of the city. So far as I know, labor organisations have not ex-] f tressed an opinion on this movement, fti order to facilitate tho preliminary work of this organization. I trust that Ithe official* and committees of organ ised clubs and associations of this city people and secure at as early a date aa 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 plans 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 win hear from them. We should organise so that a legists tlve charter can be ftcured at this session, as w* cannot appeal to the « to vote bonds or contribute until ral and business organization la perfected.
