The editor of The Georgian returns to hla desk this morning from the aeacoast of North Carolina to read the article and the malevolent cartoon prepared and signed by Mr. Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Association. We accept without heeltatlon the gauge of credit and of fact which Mr. Jordan flings down upon the head of one of the beat friends that the Southern Cotton Association has ever known, and we promise to render this episode one of the moat Interesting that Mr. Harvie Jordan has ever experienced In hla politic and ambitious career. It may be well to any In the beginning that which we r hnre said before, that The Georgian baa not been the advocate and the champion of the exchangea, and that WE HAVE BEEN AND ARE NOW THE UNHESITAT ING OPPONENTS OF THE BUCKET 8HOP8. We have grown up by environment and by general In vestigation under tho Impression that there wasavastand vital difference between tho legitimate exchanges and tho bucket shops doing business In the country. We hare been confirmed and strengthened In this Impression by the frequent public.nnd specific advocacy of many of the first business men of Atlanta. And under these clroum* stances, when this great question came up as a fresh and vital Issue-before the Georgia legislature, we did not hesitate as a prudent and conservative organ.of public opinion to present to that body our own view of the dif ference between the legitimate exchango and the bucket shop, and to urge upon the members of the legislature a very fair and free consideration of these distinctions before entering upon any radical action that might at- feet the serious public Interests of the city and of the state. Beyond this we did not go and shell nd| go. Our single Idea was to Invoke for this question the clear and full understanding and the unbiased decision of tho law-making bodies In order that Justice might be done and conservative action might be reached. We have never for cne moment put oureelvea beyond the plane of conviction or beyond the right to alter our opin ion upon this question. Wo have vast respect for the opinion and for tho Judgment of the Credit Men's soelatlon, and we do not hosttete to say that the Credit Association has made a full statement of Its views and that these views haro Impressed themselves upon our own. We are absolutely free In this matter, absolutely without obstinacy, and we are not built of the stuff that would make us adberq to a more private opinion simply because It had once been expressed. But wo cannot fall to express our surprise that the Hon. Harvie Jordan, who represents himself, The Cot ton Journal and the Southern Cotton Association In that splendid organization, formed to advance the Interest! of the cottoa planter, should go far out of his way to father and to frame an attack upon so good and so loyal a friend to the cotton planter and grower as we have been. Within the past year, the editor of this-paper, with out money and without price, at his own expense and In his own time, has. at the request of various county as sociations of the cotton growers, gone to them to speak In earnest and ardent advocacy of tha alms. Interests and plans of the association. We have given freely of whatever brains and Information we have had to the In terests and advancement of this cause. We have receiv ed the thanks of some twenty or thirty cotton growers' associations assembled In Georgia for the purpose of hearing these speeches made In their behalf, and have received more than once and In most emphatic fashion, the hearty commendation and expressed grat itude of Mr. Jordan himself for the nature and effective ness of these speeches mtde In behalf of this association. It may be said here that In not one ot these speeches haTe we ever remotely or directly referred In any de gree, to any private Interest or any public Candidacy which the editor ot thla paper may have had at any time toward any office In the state or In the United Stales. It may be Imagined then how great was the surprise with which we have received the ungenerous and unworthy stab which this man Harvie Jordan has dealt to a friend and a co-operator whose service he has so frequently and gratefully approved. Now, supposing for the sake of argument, that the editor ot this paper was mistaken In hla analysis of the difference between the bucket (hops and the legitimate ' exchanges? We submit the question that It this be true, no man in Georgia should have been more charitable and more cons'lderat# toward any possible mistake In Judg ment than thla complacent politician who has been chosen as the head of the Southern Cotton Association. Why, the echoes have scarcely died at yet upon the shibboleth ot "Harvie Jordan and 15c cotton!" Into tjiat splendid promise his strong cocksure assertions led us all. We followed fast In the wake of his superior wis dom, his professional Information and his “duty-to-kuow.” At Atlanta, at Asheville and at New Orleans, the South ern farmers either fell or were whipped Into line be hind Harvie Jordan’s war cry until finally over the pro test and Judgment of many thoughtful men. It became almost positive treason to differ wlt£ the Bose on thla question. But, alas for Jordan, alas for hit cocksure view, and alas for the cotton planter*! There are hun dreds of thousands of dollars that might be In the pock ets of the Southern farmer! now If Harvie Jordan had not made that foolish mistake Into which we so blindly fall and of which through reliance upon hla superior op portunities tor Information, we became earnest advo cates. There are few who have openly rebuked or criti cised Harvie Jordan for his egregious error Id this matter. They have covered hla foily with charity. And yet this same fallible Harvie Jordan, staggering under's weight of foolish Judgment that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Southern farmers, Is the first to rise In criticism, against the motives of a faithful friend who has fought the farmers' battles with pen sad tongue without money and without price, and has bad m Harvie Jordan's own official “well done" stampod upon (be unselfish work. There are thousands upon thousands of Southern farmers who will recall In this connection that a man whose Judgment la as hasty or as bad as Harvie Jor dan's, ought not to be the first to throw a stone at the friends of the cotton planter under any circumstances. Whatever may have been hla motive, whether loyal or disloyal, whether good or bad, Jordan has undoubtedly led the Southern farmers Into the mire. He has kept thousands of dollars out of the pockets of the people and he ought to be modest and kindly In his estimate of the Judgment of other men. There Is a mean and little sting left In the combina tion of cartoon and controversy Into which Harvie Jor dan has projected himself. Some small and unworthy soul, either hla own or another’s, has been moved to aug- geat that the editor of The Georgian was Influenced In his earlier comment by the fact that a family connection was an employee in a brokerage offlee. That was low and utterly unworthy. It stamps Jordan as malicious and ungrateful. We have ho need to answer so small and unworthy a measure of speech as that If there Is any body Id Georgia who would believe that Infamous reflec tion, we do not know him. If there I* anything In the record of The Georgian or Its editor to Justify such an Ill-bred assertion wa must confess that we have lived In vain. The opinions that we have entertained and expressed upon this question have been thoso held for many years. As we have said before, we are not obstinate In their possession and not committed to their advocacy. All ^hat we want In this or any other matter Is to see the right and the Just thing for Georgia and for her people, and we may be trusted when we see It to do the light thing over our pre-formed opinions and over our financial Interests. This we have already made manifest In two conspicuous Instances to which the public has been the witness. So much for this phase ot the controversy. Arc the Cotton Officials Speculating ? The remarks made upon the floor o( the house ot representatives by Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, on Tues day clearly develop a serious crisis In the affairs of the Southern Cotton Association. Mr. Anderson It a gentleman of the highest standing, both In polttlci and In business. Ha la a descendant of Thomas Jefferson and la a representative of the second city and county of the state. His remarks were definite, clear and startling In their suggestions, and they must be definitely and fearlessly probed for the honor and for the safety ot thla great body ot cotton grower* who have organised for their mutual profit and advancement The Georgian is far above making this Incident the occasion of any reprisal for an unworthy attack made by an officer of that association upon this paper. There Is not In our rtcorda a Hue In which we have ever re venged any private wrong In our public comments or car ried the remembrance of a personal controversy In a con slderatlon of tha affairs of state. And we oome to this question now clearly, resolute ly and absolutely without prejudice In the single Interest of the Southern Cotton Association to whom we have dem onstrated our loyalty In no uncertain way. The whole force of editorial advocacy and of news exploltaUon has been freely given through The Georgian to every Interest ot this splendid body of our Industrial life. The editor of this paper has at hla own expense, of time and labor, made from fifteen to thirty speeches for as many county associations of the state cotton growers' association, and has received from those associations, and from the presi dent of the state association, and from Mr. Harvie Jordan himself, various cordial expressions of appreciation for services which they were pleased to deem "most valua ble and effective." There la no one thing In Georgia to which The Georgian It more pledged by past loyalty of service and by future Intention of cooperation, than to the farmers and the cotton growers and to every other organisation that la honorably conducted to their profit We are so vitally near to t'hcao men and realise so clearly their vital meaning to the prosperity and welfaro of the state, that we should be false to them and recreant to our duty If we did not urge that the present shadow now retting upon the Bouthern Cotton Association shall be analyzed and sifted to the complete satisfaction of the entire body and of the state. In brief, then, the reflections made by Representative Anderson, ot Chatham, leave upon the public mind the Implication ot serious official misconduct, which, In be half ot the farmers of Georgia, we Insist must be Inves tigated to the last limit of truth and Justice. First, there la a general Implication that somebody high In station In the Bouthern Co'.ton Association hat been not only using his private Inside Information ac qulred through the Bouthert Cotton Association, to spec ulate In cotton to hit own profit through the local ex changes, but that this same someone has also gone to the extent ot taking stock In a recently organised bucket shop known as the Piedmont Brokerage Company, and of engineering personal dealings through that agency, act ing In another name than his own. This It a serious Implication and If It can be demon strated will be damaging beyond measure to the further usefulness of the present official life ot tho association Individuals have a right If they choose to deal In cot ton on margins to long at It maybe legal to do so, and to ■peculate In futures to the extent which the law permits. Whatever we may think of auch transactions, there are a few who criticise to any severe extent the private Indi vidual who takes part In such transactions. But, It It should be true that a great and beneficent organisation formed and supposedly administered for the exclusive purpose of advancing the price ot cotton for the growers ot the state and of the 8outh, had In Ita high official life a man using It* private Information ond possibly Indulg ing himself In private and dealing under a fictitious name to gamble and speculate In, cotton and In futures, then the confidence ot the cotton growers In their organization is likely to be destroyed, and the men who Indulge In such practices are not worthy of the confidence of their constituents or of a future official life In the organisation. This proposition no man can deny. The clrcnmatances surrounding this charge of Mr. Anderson with certain specific statements made by repu table men and. worthy and prominent dtlsens, have seemed to fasten suspicion In this matter upon Mr. Richard Cheatham, secretary, and the Intimate personal friend ot Mr. Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Growera' Association. Theae statements of the dally witnesses are as follows: First come* B. C. Cothran, himself the man ager of a local brokerage offlee, who testifies freely over hla own signature that he waa approached by those who are organising the Piedmont Bucket Shop, with a request that he take stock In that enterprise, and that upon bis refusal to do so It waa further argued to him by the promoter that Mr. Richard Cheatham, secre tary of the Southern Cotton Association,- waa an eighth owner In the Piedmont Brokerage Company, and that If he with his environment, could take stock In the enterprise, there was no reason why Cothran should not Mr. Coth ran also further testifies that be himself has frequently seen Mr. Cheatham In the offlee of th* Piedmont Bucket Shop and In close association with Its former manager, Mr. Hotze. Mr. Love, the prevent manager of the Piedmont Buck et Shop In his conversation with our reporter practically states that about the same time that he bought tho stock of Dr. Crawford In that enterprise be also bought the stock of Mr. Fairchild. And Mr. Fairchild is an employee of the Southern Cotton Association, and is written In the directory as manager of the bureau of publicity and pro motion. This Is claimed as startling testimony. From statements that have been put Into our pos session It looks very Hkely that Mr. Anderson will be likely In hla testimony to present strong evidence that Mr. Richard Cheatham, secretary, baa speculated In cotton margins frequently In a local brokerage company. It Is stated by another legal witness, and this one, one oi the most prominent citizens of Atlanta, who frank ly and straightforwardly confesses himself a stockholder In the Piedmont Brokerage Co. that during his connection with It It was alwny| bis Impression that Mr. Cheatham was also a stockholder and Influential factor In the Pled mont bucket shop, and that he has frequently discussed transactions of that enterprise wfth him upon the basis of co-membership and co-direction and has not had any de nial or protest from Mr. Cheatham of the assumption Im plied by the nature of those conversations, ft Is also stated by this reputable cltlsen, who Is no lens than Dr. J. M. Crawford, tbe famous specialist of the Pruden tial building, that several conversations have occurred between officers of tbe Piedmont bucket shop which. If he Is requested to do so, he will cheerfully testify to In public, which leaves upon his mind the. definite Im pression that Richard Cheatham, through hla agent and employee, Mr. Fairchilds, was an owner and. a controller of the Piedmont Bucket Shop. It was also stated by Dr. Crawford that a circumstantial evidence which confirms him In this impression of Richard Cheatham’s cooper ating with him in this bucket shop, was the-fact that a check for an additional assessment made by Mr. Cheat ham’s employee, as we remember, Mr. Fairchilds, was held over under circumstances Which would Indicate that It was necessary for Mr. Cheatham to pass upon It These with a number ot other Incidents and circum stances seem to make up the bnlk of the evidence which will bo submitted whenever It may be demanded, to Jus tify the Implication which Representative Anderson, of Chatham, boldly stated upon the floor ot the house. Wo submit to the people of Georgia that the Cotton Association cannot afford to carry for a day longer than may bo necoasary tbe burden of this alleged connection of Ita high official life with the bihlnesa of speculation, and of bucket shop gambling which it Is now so vigorous ly denouncing through the columns of the daily press and The Cotton Journal. We have no desire to say, and we do not say that these charges are true. Investigation may prove them to be true or Investigation may prove that they arp entirely false. Mr. Jordan and Mr. Cheatham both deny them personally. « For ourselves, there remains no other duty than to urge that this Investigation Into these matters shall be begun at once before the state legislature adjourns and that It shall be absolutely free and fair and absolutely without fear—that there shall be no white-washing done by any partial friend of any party concerned, that the Investigation should be public by a full representation of tbe membership In this and other states—that ihe farmers of Georgia are entitled to know and to understand the truth fully aud perfectly and Just what connection, If any, their high officials may have had In private with this Iniquity which they are so loudly condemning In public. Mr. Cheatham la secretary of the Southern Cotton Association. More than this ho Is the Intimate and per sonal friend of Jordan, the president. There are those who know them both who say that of the two men Mr. Cheatham Is tho shrewdor and more capable and that be exercises a very large Influence upon the mind of his friend and superior officer. This we do not know. But we do know that th* public will find It hard to understand how between two friends so close and so Intimate and so constantly In conference upon the possibilities ot the prices of cotton, Mr. Cheatham could have been engaged In these transactions In such a way as to conceal It from the knowledge ot hit friend and fellow officer. There Is enough In the air of doubt and of apprehen sion and of auspiclon to Justify us In saving that until these charges are thoroughly and bravely sifted, and the atmosphere completely and finally cleared, the present usefulness and effectiveness of the officers of this associa tion are seriously endangered, and that these Interests which should be always subordinated to the vastly greater Interests of tbe Southern cotton growers, will themselves demand the fullest and promptest and most public action to find the truth and to tell it A new hotel has has been erected In New York for the accommodation of working girlB, from which women 'over 35 years of age” will be debarred.

Gentlemen who have affiliated with that party In times past, down In this section ot tbe political vineyard, have been receiving touching little communications ask ing that they contribute tho sum of one modeBt dollar to defray the expenses of the 0. O. P. In the congressional campaign which Is gathering strength tor the fall elec tions. Some of them have responded, but some of them have not . The party of loaves and fishes Is no more prodigal of contributions Just at present than the occasion demands, and Chairman Sherman la reported to be in a state ot mind. This effort to make tbe campaign contributions popu lar In their character looks very well, from a superficial point of view, but the people would be much more will ing to take It seriously If the present congress, at Ita late session, had passed the law prohibiting, corporations, from making contributions to campaign funds. It was rumored at one time that the express compa nies were to be exempt from the operation of the rate bill, but tbe pressure was too strong and they had to be Included. The program was, so the story goes, that In consideration of their exemption tbe express companies were to foot the bills for the congressional campaign, but now they very naturally decline to come across. The congressional committee had to look elsewhere for campaign funds. Perhaps It was only a coincidence that the bill prohibiting corporations from contribuUng to the yellow dog budget was not passed. Hence these tears—and the passing of the plate. Tbe Republican party on the whole seems to have made a mess of It from a strategical point of view. They have offended the reform element of the country by refusing to pass the law preventing these contributions from corporations, and at the same time they have offend ed the corporations by the provisions of the rate bill. They are now making a heroic effort to pitch the fight on a policy of "Roosevelt and stand pat,” but there are growing evidences that the country will Inject a re duction of the tariff In the discussion, and the latter prop osition Is meeting with a great deal of -favor. Tbe pro tected Infanta have not only grown so large, but have become so wayward, that the sentiment of the country Is slowly but surely becoming aroused, and it seems clear that tariff reform will have a place very near the center of the stage, not only In the congressional but in the pres idential election.

And he woe correct. There wee a time when many people in the South boasted of cheap labor, but that did not mean prosperity nor general advance ment. Cheap labor Is not generally low-coat labor. It Is true that In the changing conditions which are tak ing place In the South higher wages are for the time being producing very unsatisfactory results Negroes, and to somt extent whites. In the South, as well a* elsewhere, content, as they have been, to live on a low plane of creature comforts, find that by work ing two or thVee- days a week they can make as much as they formerly made working nve or six days, and therefore they loaf half their time. To these people higher wages has not, on this account, for the present made much Improvement In their financial condition. It has, however, retarded the operation of manufacturing en terprises, and to some extent has been an Injury to the people themselves by making them mor* slothful than In tlmss when stress of circumstances forced a daily routine of work In or der to secure the necessities of life. But looking at the question from the broad ■tandpolnt of the whole South's best Interests, this Is a temporary condi tion, and the disadvantages are tem porary. are being paid there will come con ditions making Immigration possible. and we believe conditions which will eventually result In making more effi cient the negro labor of the South. It It difficult to see any slgq of the lat ter at present. Rather we now see al most chaotic conditions among a targe part of the negro population of the South, but we believe that the Incom ing Immigration made possible by higher wages will make the South leas dependent on negro tabor, and, there fore, prove to ‘he negro’s advantage. So long ss the negro feels that the South to of necessity dependent upon his labor, so long will he be Indiffer ent, shiftless, drifting from place to place, wlthmit steadiness of purpose and without the development of the qualities which are essential for hie advancement.
