THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE A man may well bring a Horaa to the water. But he cannot mako him drink without ho will. —Haywood. Harvic Jordan’s Unworthy Criticism. The editor of The Georgian return! to hll desk this morning from the soacoast ot North Carolina to read the article and the malevolent cartoon prepared and algned by Mr. Harttlo Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Association. We accept Without hesitation the gauge of credit and of fact which Mr. Jordan flings down upon the head ot one of the beat friend* that the Southern Cotton Association ha* aver known, and we promise to render thl* episode one of the most Interesting that Mr. Harris Jordan has evet* experienced In his politic and ambitious career. It may be well to eay In the beginning that which we have said before, that The Georgian has not been the advocate and the champion of the exchanges, and that WE HAVE BEEN AND ARE NOW THE UNHESITAT ING 0PP0NENT8 OF THE BUCKET 8H0P8. We have grown up by environment, and by general In vestigation under ths impression that there was era* tend vital difference between the legitimate exebangea and the bucket shops doing business In the oountry. W* have been confirmed and strengthened In thle Impression by the frequent public and speclflo advocacy of many of the first business men of Atlanta. And under these circum stances, when this great question came up at n fresh and vital issue bofore the Oeorgta legislature, we did not hesitate as n prudent and conservative organ of publlo opinion to present to that body our own vlow of the dif ference botween the legitimate exchange and the bucket shop, and to urge upon the members of the legislature a very fair and free consideration of these distinctions before entorlng upon any radical action that might af fect the serious public Interests of the city and of the state. Beyond this we did not go and ehall not go. Our single Idea was to Invoke for this question the cloar and full understanding and the unbiased decision of tho law-making bodlea In order that Justice might be done and conservative aetion might be reached. We have never for one moment put ourselves beyond the plane of conviction or beyond the right to alter our opin ion upon this question. W* have vast respect for tho opinion and for the Judgment ot tho Credit Men’s As sociation, and we do not heBttate to say .that the Credit Association hns made a full statement of Ha views and that these views have Impressed themselves upon our own. We are absolutely free In this matter, absolutely without obBtlnacy, and we are not built of the stuff that would make us adhere to n mere private opinion simply because It had once been expressed. But wo cannot fall to express our surprise that the Hon. Harvle Jordan, who represents himself, The Cot- toa Journal and the Southern Cotton Association In that splendid organisation, formed to advance the Interests of the cotton planter, should go ‘far out ot 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 hit own expense nml In hts own time, lms, at the request of various county as sociations of the cotton growers, gone to them to apeak In earnest and ardent advocacy ot the alms. Interests and plans ot the association. We hare given freely of whatever brains and Information we hare bad to the In terests and advancement ot this cause. We have receiv ed the thanks of some twenty or thirty cottdn growers' associations assembled In Georgia for the purpose ot hearing these speeches made In their behalf, aud we have received more than once aud In moat emphatic fashion, the hearty commendation and expressed grat itude of Mr. Jordan himself for the nature and effective ness ot these speeches made In behalf ot this association. It may be said here that in not on* ot these speeches havo we ever remotely nr directly referred In any de gree, to any private Interest or any public candidacy which the editor of thla paper may have had at any time toward Any office In the state or Id the United States. It may be Imagined then how great was the surprise with which we have received the ungenerous and unworthy stab which this man Harvle Jordan has dealt to a friend and a cooperator whose service he has so frequently and gratefully approved. Now, supposing for the sake bf argument, that the editor ot this paper was mistaken In his analysts ot ths difference between the bucket shops and the legitimate exchanges? We submit the question that If thl* be true, no man In Georgia should have been more chart Bible and more considerate toward any possible mistake In Judg ment than thl* complacent politician who has been chosen as the head ot the Southern Cotton Association. Why, the echoes have scarcely died at yet upon the shibboleth ot “Harvle Jordan and 15c cotton!" Into that splendid promise hts strong cocksure assertions led us all. We followed fast In the wake ot his superior wis dom, his professional Information and hit "duty-to-know.” At Atlanta, at Asheville and at New Orleans, the South ern farmers either fell or were whipped Into line be hind Harvle Jordan’s war cry until finally over the pro test and Judgment ot many thoughtful men, It became almost positive treason to differ with the Boss on this question. But, alas for Jordan, alas for hts cocksure view, and alas for the cotton planters) There are hun dreds ot thousands of dollars that might be In the pock ets of the Southern farmers now It Harvle Jordan had not made that foolish mistake Into which we ao blindly tell and ot which through reliance upon hts superior op portunities for information, we became earnest advo cates. There are fev who have openly rebuked or criti cised Harvle Jordan for his egregious error In thl* matter. They have covered bis folly with charity. And yet thla same fallible Harvle Jordan, staggering under a weight of foollth Judgment that coat hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Southern tanners, Is the first to rise In criticism against the motives of a faithful friend who has fought ths farmers’ battles with pen and tongue without money and without price, and baa had (ho unselfish work. There are thousands upon thousands ot Southern farmers who will recall in thla connection that a man whose Judgment Is as hasty or as bad as Harvle Jor dan’s, ought not to be the first to throw a atone at the friends of the cotton planter under any circumstances. Whatover may have been hts motive, whether loyal or disloyal, whether good or bad, Jordan ha* undoubtedly led the Southern farmers Into the mire. He has kept thousands of dollars out ot the pockets of the people and he ought to be modest and kindly In hi* estimate of the Judgment of other men. There Is is mean and little ating left In the combina tion of cartoon and controversy Into which Harvle Jor dan has projected himself. Some small and unworthy soul, slthef his own or another's, has been moved to sug gest 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 office.- That was low and utterly unworthy. It stamps Jordan as malicious and ungrateful. We have no need to answer so small and unworthy a measure of speech as that If there Is any body In Georgia who would believe that Infamous reflec tion, wo do not know him. If there la anything In the record of The Georgian or Its editor to Justify such an Ill-bred assertion we must confess that wo have lived In vain, The opinions that we have entertained nod expressed upon this question have been those held for many years. As we have said before, we are not obstinate In their possession and not committed to their ndvocacy. All that we want 4n thla 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 right thing over our pre-formed opinions and over our financial Interests. This we have already made manifest In two conspleuout Instances to which the public has been the witness. So much for this phase ot the controversy. Are the Cotton Officials Speculating ? The remarks made upon the floor of the house of representatives by Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, on Tues day clearly develop a serious, crisis In the affairs of the Bouthern Cotton Association. Mr. Anderson la a gentleman of the highest standing, both In politics and In business. He la n descendant of Thomas Jefferson and Is a representative ot the second city and county ot the state. Hit remarks wore definite, clear and startling In their suggestions, and they must be definitely and fearlessly probed for the honor and for the safety of thla great body of cotton growers who have organised for their mutual profit and advancement The Georgian 1* far above making this Incident the occasion ot any reprisal tor an unworthy'attack made by an officer of that association upon this paper. There Is not Ip our record* a line In which wo havo ever re venged any private wrong In our publlo comment* or car ried the remembrance of a personal controveriy In a con sideration of the affalri of state. And we come to thla question now clearly, reBoluto- ly and absolutely without prejudice In the Blngle interest of the Bouthern Cotton Association to whom wo havo dem onstrated our loyalty In no uncertain way. The whole force of editorial advocacy and of news exploitation lias been freely given through The Georgian to every Interest Of thle splendid body of our Industrial'life. Tho editor ot this paper has at hts own expense, of time and labor, made from fifteen to thirty speeches for as many county associations ot the state cottdn growers’ association, and has received from those associations, and from tho presi dent ot the atatesaasoclatton, and from Mr. Harvle Jordan himself, various cordial expressions of appreciation for services which they wore pleased to deem “most valua ble and effective.” There Is no one thing In Georgia to which The Georgian Is more pledged by past loyalty ot service and by future Intention of cooperation, than to the farmers and the cor ton growers and to every other organisation that Is honorably conducted to their profit We are so vitally near to these men and realise so clearly their vital meapjn s - to the prosperity and welfare of the state, that we should be false to them and recreant to our duty If we did not urge that tho present shadow now resting upon the Bouthern Cotton Association shall be analyiefl and sifted to the complete satisfaction ot the entire body and of the state, Jn brief, then, the reflections made by Representative Anderson, of Chatham, leave upon the public mind the Implication of aerloua official misconduct, which. In be half ot the farmers ot Georgia, we Insist must be Inves tigated to the last limit ot truth and Justice. First, there la a general Implication that somebody high in station In the Southern Cotton Association has been not only using his private Inside Information ac quired through the Southen. Cotton Association, to spec ulate lu cotton to his own profit through the local ex changes, but that thla same someone hns also gone to the extent ot taking stock In a recently organized bucket shop known as the Piedmont Brokerage Company, and of engineering personal dealing^ through that agency, act ing In another name than his own. This is a serious Implication and If It can be demon strated will be damaging beyond measure to the further usefulness ot the present official life ot the association. Individuals have a right If they choose to deal In cot ton on margins so long at It maybe legal to do so, and to speculate In futures to the extent which the law permits. Whatever we may think ot such transactions, there are few who criticise to any severe extent the private Indi vidual who takes part In such transactions. But, If It should be true that a great and beneficent organisation formed and supposedly administered for the exclusive purposo of advancing the price of cotton for the growers of the state and ot the South, had In Its high official life man using Its private Information and possibly Indulg ing himself In private and dealing under a fictitious name to gamble and speculate In cotton and In futures, then fhe confidence of the cotton growers In their organisation Is likely to be destroyed, and the men who Indulge In such practices are not worthy of the confidence of their constituents or ot a future official life In the organisation. This proposition no man can deny. The clrcumitonces surrounding this charge ot Mr. Anderson with certain specific statements made by repu table men and worthy and prominent cltlxena, have seemed to fasten suspicion In this matter upon Mr. Richard Cheatham, secretary, and the Intimate personal friend' ot Mr. Haftle Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Growers’ Association. These statements of the dally witnesses are as follows: First comes B. C. Cothran, himself the man ager ot a local brokerage office, who testifies freely over hi* own signature that he was approached by those who are organizing the Piedmont Bucket Shop, with a request that he take stock In that enterprise, and that upon his refusal to do ao It was further argued to him by the promoter that Mr. Richard Cheatham, secre tary of the Southern Cotton Association, was 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 olio further testifies that he himself has frequently seen Mr. Cheatham la the office ot the Pledmout Bucket Mr. Hotze. Mr. Love, the present manager of the Piedmont Buck et Shop In hlB conversation with our reporter practically states that about the same time that he bought the stock of Dr. Crawford In that enterprise ho also bought the stock of Mr. Fairchild. And Mr. Fairchild Is an employee of the Bouthern 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 havo been put Into our pos session It looks very likely that Mr. Anderson will be likely In his testimony to present strong evidence that Mr. Richard Cheatham, secretary, lias speculated In cotton margins frequently In a local brokerngo corilpany. It Is stated by another legal witness, and this one, one of tho 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 alVays his Impression that Mr. Cheatham was also a stockholder and Influential factor In the Pled mont bucket shop, and that he baa frequently discussed transactions of that enterprise with him upon the basis of co-membership and co-direction and has not had any de nial or protest from Mr. Cheatham of tho assumption Im plied by the nature of those conversations. It Is also stated by this reputable citizen, who Is no less than Dr. J. M. Crawford, the famous specialist of the Pruden tial building, that several conversations have occurred between officers ot the Piedmont bucket shop which, It he la requested to do so, he will cheerfully testify to In publtcr which leaves upon hlB mind the definite Im pression that Richard Cheatham, through his agent and employee, Mr. Fairchilds, was an owner and a controller of tho Piedmont Bucket Shop. It was also stated by Dr. Crawford that a circumstantial ovldenco which confirms him In this Impression of Richard Cheatham’s co-oper 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 of other Incidents and circum stances seem to make up the bulk ot the evidence which will bo submitted whenever it may be demanded, to jus tify tho Implication tghlch Representative Anderson,,of Chatham, boldly stated upon the floor ot the house. We submit to tho people of Georgia that the Cotton Association cannot afford to carry for n day longer than may be necessary the burden of thlB alleged connection of Hb high official life with the buslnoss of speculation, and of bucket shop gambling which It Is now so vigorous ly denouncing through tho columns ot the dally press and The Cotton Journal. Wo have no desire to say, and we do not say that thoso charges aro true. Investigation may prove them to be true or Investigation may prove that they are 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 bo 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 dono by any partial friend of any party concerned, that the Investigation should bo public by a full representation of tho membership In this and other statos—that the farmers of Georgia aro entitled to know and to understand the truth fully and 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 Is secretary of tho Southern Cotton Association. More than this he Is tho Intimate and per sonal friend of Jordan, the president There are those who know them both who say that of the two mon Mr. Cheatham Is the shrewder and more capablo and that he exercises a very large Influence upon the mind of his friend and superior officer. This we do not know. But wo do know that the public-will find It hard to understand how between two friends so close and so intimate and so constantly In conference upon the possibilities of tho prices of cotton, Mr. Cheatham could have been engaged In these transactions In such a way bb to conceal It from the knowledge of his friend and fellow officer. There Is enough In the air ot doubt and ot apprehen- slon and of suspicion to Justify us in saying 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 those interests which should be always subordinated to the vastly greater interests of the Southern cotton growers, will themselves demand tho fullest and promptest and most public action to find the truth and to tell It.

Republicans Passing the Plate. The Republican party Is passing tho plate. Gentlemen who have affiliated with that party In times past, down In this section ot the political vineyard, have been receiving touching little communications ask ing that they contribute the sum of one modest dollar to defray the expenses of the 0. O. P. In the congressional campaign which Is gathering strength for 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 Sbqrman Is reported to be In a state of mind. This effort to make the campaign contributions popu lar In their character looks very well, from a superficial point of view, but the people would be much more will- lng to take It seriously It the present congress, nt Its late sqsilon, 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 the pressure was too strong and they had to be Included. Tho program was, so the story goes, that In consideration ot their exemption tho express companies were to foot the bills for the congressional campaign, but now they very haturally decline to come across. Tho congressional committee had to look elsewhere for campaign funds. Perhaps It was only a coincidence that the bill prohibiting corporations from contributing to the yellow dog budget was not passed. Hence these tears—and the passing of the plate. The Republican party on the whole seems to have made a mess of It from a strategical point of vlow. 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 tho 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 ot favor. The pro tected infants 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 tho stage, not only In the congressional but In the pres idential eloctlon. The whole community has become thoroughly aroused on the subject of Imperfect meat Inspection and the de mand Is Imperative that radical reforms shall be Insti tuted at once. The position of lord high executioner in Rusqla Is still vacant The chances are that It will have to be come a kind of syndicate. Recent dispatches apeak of a leper In Elkina, W. Va.

Growth and Progress of the New South thl* wilt *PPJ*r from time, to tlai# information llluitntin# tbo rrrnarkfcblo development of the South which deservei something more then pan* lng attention. •• . Southern Labor and Its Price "I rejoice In the present scarcity of labor and the high prices which all classes of laborers are now securing,' said one of the foremost manufacturer* of tha South, a man of broad buslnes* life who has been Intimately Identified with the best development ot this sec tion. And he waa correct. There was a time when many people In the South boasted of cheap labor, but that did not mean prosperity nor general advance ment. Cheap labor la 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 aome extent whites, In th* Houth, a* well as elsewhere, content, as they have been, to live on a low plane of creature comforts; And that by work ing two or three day* a week they ran make as much as they formerly made working five or six day*, and therefore they loaf half their time. To these people higher wages has not. on thla 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 more slothful than In times when stress of circumstances forced a dally routine of work In or der to secure the necessities of life. But looking at the question from the broad standpoint of the wholo South «• best Interests, this Is a temporary condi tion, and the disadvantages are tem porary. So long as tabor of all kinds receiv ed low wages In the South this sec tion could never hope to be an active competitor with the West and the North for the better class' of Immi gration, but with advancing wages It will be possible to turn southward a class of population which we -never could have secured under lower wages. Thla tn Itself I* a very great advan tage to this section and will counter balance the disadvantages under which farmers and manufacturers alike are now working. But more than that. It la possible that sooner or later high er wages will stimulate the negroes to better methods of living, to more systematic work and to an apprecia tion of what can be accomplished by faithful, honest labor, with the result that out of the present conditions of unrest and thriftlessness and laziness will come Improvement And out of these disadvantages which have been pqpduced by the higher wages which are being paid there will come con ditions making Immigration possible, and we believe conditions which will eventually result In making more effi cient tho negro labor of the South. It Is difficult to see any sign of the tat ter at present Rather wo now see al most chaotic conditions among a large part of ths negro population of ths South, but we believe that tho incom ing Immigration made possible by higher wages wilt make the South lees dependent on negro tabor, and, there fore, prove to the negro's advantage. So long a* the negro feels that the South lb ot necessity dependent upon hts labor, so long will he be Indiffer ent, shiftless, drifting.from place to place, without steadiness of purpose and without the development of the qualities which are essential for his advancement. Under the old conditions of low wages any great broad advancement of the South was not possible. We could, It Is true, have attained to the present stage of development, but this Is only the very beginning, the thresh old of tho great work of Southern upbuilding. What we are now doing t, so small as compared with what the South must and will do within the next 10 or It years as to seem but child's play compared with ths limit less possibilities of the future.

The trial* and trouble* of th* South ern manufacturer and the Southern farmer due to scarcity of labor are for the time being very perplexing, but out of evil good will come, and the South may well afford to rejoice that increasing employment and Increasing prosperity are bringing about a rate of wages which will make this section a tempting field for the activities of the laboring element of th* world.
