But he cannot make him drink without he will. —Heywood. Georgia Answers Virginia. The passage of the Jamestown exposition bill by the hoane of rep ream ta tires on Thursday will carry genuine auf unalloyed pleasure to the great majority of the peo ple of Georgia—because all Georgia lores Virginia, and the Confederate reterans and the sons and daughter* of Confederate reterans will always Indorse any art of appreciation and of loyalty which Georgia to the old commonwealth whoae chief city was the capital of the dead Confederacy. There was nerer a bill that passed the legislature In cleaner fashion than this Jamestown bill, which has enlisted the support and Indorsement of the lower house of oar general assembly. It has been paseed without money, without lobbying, without any unworthy argument, without an appeal to prejudice and without any action on the part of anyone that la susceptible to the slightest criticism In this sensi tise period of American public life. The bill was drawn by the Georgia commission of the Jameatown expost tioo appointed by the gorernor. The president of that commission la Mr. W. X. Mitchell, himself a Virginian by birth and a gentleman of honor and of character by Inheritance as well as by breeding. Mr. Mitchell, with the moet patriotic enthusiasm and acting upon the high est ethics, has been the able, eloquent and Indefatigable friend of the bill, and Its success must primarily be cred ited to bla splendid and tireless efforts In Its behalf. Mr. Charles R. Russell presented the bill In the house of representatives and has spoken In Its behalf and haa been from the beginning vitally Interested In Its welfare. He la to be congratulatea upon Its successful passage through the house. The molt eloquent speeches that have been made In behalf of the bill have been made by Representative Alexander, of DeKalb; Representative Anderson, of Chatham, and representative Saffold, of Emanuel. These and other gentlemen who have spoken In less elaborate form, are to be congratulated upon their efforts. And, The Georgian does not hesitate to aay that the action of the house of representatives will be approved and applauded by nine-tenths of the people of Georgia whom it represents. It Is to be regretted, however, that the full amount of the appropriation asked—150,000—was not granted by tne house. Georgia's representation would have been better and her answer to Virginia's call would have been heartier had the full sum been raised. Georgia Is rich enough to give almost any sum, and If Georgia could be polled today we are convinced that three-fourths of the people would vote the larger rather than the lesser sum. But, large or small, through this appropriation the legislature haa spoken and If the senate shall see lit to lend Its approval to the action of the house, we are fully assured that Georgia wilt be ably and brilliantly repre sented st Jamestown and that we will reap from our ex hibit golden proflts both In the field of national develop ment and In the richer and larger Held of patriotism and noble sentiment has Insisted, and will always Insist that her children shall not be taught that their tethers were rebels and traitors. She Insists that they shall know the truth It la and not as men like Hspgood would have them see It namely, that the people of the South went to war for • principle of government which waa espoused by the leading states of the North and the leading statesmen the North before the republic had put on Its swaddling clothes—the principle of the larger autonomy of the states, which haa been uniformly upheld by the decision* of the supreme court of the United States ever since the civil war, and which the common sense of mankind haa been approving ever since. It la not necessary to aay at this late day that the South has accepted the issues of the civil war with phi! osophleal resignation and baa sent her own sons to shed their blood -In the cause of our common country, from the death of Worth Bagley, the Southern boy who was the first victim of the Spanish-Amerlcan war, to the death of the latest Southern private In the guerrilla war fare of the Philippines. Tbete would J>e no talk of rebellion, and no neces sity to guard the truth of history In oar textbooks, if It were not for sack cheerfully Irresponsible critics Hapgood. t Collier’s on Southern Text-Books. If the editor of Collier’s Weekly haa any definite opinions about tha South which would be warranted to keep over night we would like to hear them expressed once. Just for the novelty of the thing. In some Issues of that always Interesting and sometimes accurate mag- axlnc the bouquet* are scattered at the feet of the South unUl we are as fragrant as the gardens of Oul and as Immaculate aa lilies of the valley. At other times, when Norman of the House of Hap good Isn't feeling very well he takes a fling at us which would be really irritating It It were not simply ‘‘pretty Fanny's way,” which every one has come to expect now and then. In the current Issue of Collier's he writes learnedly on ‘‘Knowledge." a subject which la always dear to hit heart. He points out that when a Russian reader see* a page blacked out he “knows that he has been deprived of truth.” But the thing la managed differently down here, he say*. The truth la skillfully adulterated. A certain textbook for public schools, he tells us, Is adorn ed with "a picture of the log cabin In which Abraham Lincoln was born.” For the southern trade the label which Identified the picture with Lincoln waa removed, and it waa marked ‘A Typical Log Cabin."' He goes on to say that "for the Southern trade textbooks which deal with the civil war give an account of that con test which, must make Southern children, when they grow up, surprised to learn that the capital of their country la not at Richmond. Va., and at a lots to account lor the fact that the soldiers of tbetr country wear blue uniforms.” We are not familiar with the textbooks In question, but this we can aay without fear of contradiction, that if the publisher of any textbook designed for use In the South shies at the life and achievements of Abraham Lincoln, and particularly slurs over the humble origin of the great Kentuckian, he doesn't know his business as well as such people usually do. We do not believe that there Is a school teacher In the Southern states who would not go out of his or her way to call attention to the humble origin, the determination which triumphed over all obstacles, such as are Illustrated in the life of Abraham Lincoln. He would be, and in point of fact Is, held up as a brave and sincere man, whose life la well worthy of emulation. He has been slandered infinitely more by uninformed meB of the Hapgood type than he has ever been by the people of the South. Nor is there a scintilla of truth in the statement that the children of the South are put through a course of history which would leave them to wonder. In after years, why the soldiers of our common country wear bins uniforms. The South simply insists, as ahe always Harvie Jordan Should Not Appoint His Own Committee. We respectfully submit to Mr. Hanrle Jordan, presi dent of the Southern Cotton AsaoctaUon, that tl scarcely ethical for him to appoint out of hla own state and among his own friend* a committee to preside over the trial of hla own administration. For Mr. Hanrle Jordan may as well understand that he himself la on trial In the implications which involve Richard Cheatham, bla bosom-friend, and the secretary of the association. The closeness of the aaaoclatlon, both personal find professional, between these two men renders It impossible to separate one altogether from the other, and the trial of Richard Cheatham, of the Southern Cotton AsaoctaUon, must and does inevitably Involve aa well the record and the rectitude of Hanrle Jordan, the president, his Intimate friend, co-worker and superior officer. Nor doea it teem either propet or ethical that Mr. Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association, should select his own committee to Investigate the char acter of hla administration from the single state In which he lives. Mr. Jordan and Mr. Cheatham are not president and secretary of the Georgia Cotton Associa tion, but of the Southern Cotton Association, and the charges which by Implication affect thfese men affect also the Southern Cotton Association In the states of Alabama, the Carolluas, Tennessee. Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas. There It no prece dent that will Justify Mr. Jordan In choosing from his own state a committee of hla Intimate co-workers and associates to pass upon questions which so vitally affect the character of his admlnlstraUon and tb» prosperity of the entire Southern Cotton Association. Be It understood that there can be' no possible ob jection to the personnel of the committee of three whom Mr. Jordan ^aa named. President ,M. L. Johnson, of the Georgia Stato Asosclation, la one of the truest and high est types of men In Georgia. He Is above suspicion and above reproach. Hon. John D. Walker, of Sparta, Is the soul of honor and the pattern of public Integrity. No man could question the-integrity of Mr. Walker's views or of his character. And Colonel W. L. Peek, of Con yers, Is a cltlsen of blameless and stainless repute whose character deserves and commands the confidence of hla fellow citlsens. But It Is too great a strain upon the feelings, and too large a tax to lay upon the public ser vice of these gentlemen to ask them to sit In rigid and Impartial judgment upon friends and co-workers with whom they have been Intimately associated for the past several years. Every Instinct of justice and of ethlca would auggeat that Mr. Jordan, If he haa the right to appoint at all the committee to Investigate hla adminis tration, should enlarge that committee to represent not only hit own state of Georgia but the other states which are Involved In the affairs of the Southern Cotton As sociation. It seems also proper that he ahould call that meet ing. not In hla own little 10x12 personal and private office where only a few people can be gathered to hear the deliberations, but In a hall of such publicity and magnitude that the public which la Interested can be there to hear and to reach an opinion upon the Issues Involved; and It la equally evident that he should not tax the honorable and excellent Georgians who are hla per sonal friend* with the embarrassment and responsibility of deciding by themaelvea upon a great and Important laaue In which their decision, however Impartial, would be absolutely certain to be criticised by reason of their personal relations with the accused administration. We respectfully submit to Mr. Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association, that the Southern cot- tbn growers and the Southern people will not be satisfied with a‘small session of three men, arbitrarily called by Mr. Jordan himself In his private office to paaa upon matters of auch Importance to so many Mt-mera and to ■o many business men, and we therefore In behalf of the association for which we aland and in whose Interests alone we speak, request that the widest publicity and largest possible Jury from the Interested parties be brought to past upon this vital question. Nothing less will satisfy the public, and nothing leas than this will vindicate the present administration of the cotton association. The fools are not all dead yet. Shortly after mid night on a recent Saturday a number of devotees of dancing met In a public ballroom In the Rue de la Douane, Parts, with the object of competing In a teat of endurance. At exactly 1 o'clock In the morning a musician placed himself at a piano, and played waits music without a single break until 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile ten competitors, of whom one was a girl of 11 year* of age, took the floor. The child was the first to stop, having danced for four hours. Constant Posxoll continued eleven hours; but the record was made by Corslnl Gualtlero, who. with six con secutive partners, waltxed without stopping until 2 in the afternoon, or thirteen hours without a break. Growth and Progress of the New South Sooth wWeh determ some thing more than pas The South’s Material Independence. A striking Indication of the growth and progress of the South furnished hy the*fact, presented In yesterday's issuo of The Georgian, that five Georgia counties show an Increase of $1,122,000 In their tax returns for the present year over the year previous. One county showed an In crease of 20 per cent while another came forward with an Increase of 23 per cent Such figures as these cannot fall to make a strong'lmpresslon upon any student of our commercial and Industrial development, and the facte will become tnorfe Impressive still when the returns are all. In. In this connection we present today some facts taken from a recent address by Mr. Festus J. Wade, president of the Mercantile Trust Compa ny, of 8t. Louis, one of the moet prominent and substantial of the business men of the South. At a recent meeting of the Bankers' Association of Tennessee he dwelt at length qn the independence of the South tn Its agri cultural resources. Its manufacturing Industries, commercial establish- meats and financial Institutions. He showed, what will come as a matter of surprise, perhaps, to a number of readers, that while cotton -was still the principal product ot the South, still only . 14 per cent of the farms of the South now derive their principal Income from cotton. Cotton Is still king, but there are a great many other things which Contribute to our commercial and Industrial greatness. The cotton production of the South has grown by leaps and bounds since the period. 20 year* ago, when the crop was something like 7,000, 000 bales. At about that period the valuation of the crop was nearly $300,000,000 a year. Last year It exceeded 13,000,000 bales, valued at $(28,000,000. Mr. Wade might have stated that the exports of cotton from 1895 to 1899 averaged $$13,378,000 per year In value. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1905, the exports of cotton were valued at practically $380,000,000, while the manufactures of cotton added nearly $50,000,000 more.. Mr. Wade points out that “the home grown cotton demand by the mills of the United States la now over 4,000,000 bales annually. In 1890 It wa* 2,325,000. Yet, notwithstanding this remarkable Increase In Cot ton manufacturing, a large percentage ot It In the South, we are Belling to other countries more than ever before. "Agriculturally speaking, the southern states arc on Independent peo ple, even of 'King Cotton.' “Nothing will more thoroughly demonstrate the independence of the South than the utatlstlca which show a constant and yearly Increase in Improved term acreage. We find that the improved acreage of the farms of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mlsslslppl. North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, was by the government reports as follows: IMPROVED ACREAGE OF TWELVE SOUTHERN STATES. 1880 .... 78,083,484 1890 98.603,008 1900 107,753,679 "Let ns tee' to what conclusions our figures of production and growth bring us: "The marvelous Increase In the output of the manutectoriei-of certain Southern states has been placed before, you In some detail. . If we take only the Southern states south of the* Potomac and Ohio, not Including West Virginia, we find that the products of their manufactories were $450,- 000,000 greater In 1900 than in 1890. "It we take the Increase year by year from 1890 to 1905, we find that In the aggregate they exceed $6,000,000,000. "The value of the farm products of the same states was $600,000,000 greater In 1900 than In 1890. The Increases In term products of the South, taken year by year, from 1890 to 1906, will be found to aggregate more than $4,000,000,000. "The permanent value of farm property In these states lacreased $1,- 000,000,000 In the ten years from 1890 to 1900, and at least $500,000,000 more In the five years from 1900 to 11(05. “The deposits In the banks and trust companies were $600,000,000 greater In 1905 than In 1890. “Add these permanent Increases of farm values and bank deposit* to the yearly galna from manufacture* and from farm products. What I* the result? You have an aggregate that may well itartle. Who ot us realises the magnitude ot $12,000,000,000? By comparison, we know that this pro duction of term and factory and these Increments on term property and In bank deposits of the South tor fifteen years represent more than the stock of gold, silver and paper money In the entire world today. But better than that, we know that they represent magnificent progress to ward the financial and Industrial Independence of this great section of our common country." MAINLY ABOUT PEOPLE. Juris* J.

This Georgia Indorsement (of Jerome) Is probably due to two causes. For one thing he Southerners do not like WUUnm X get lid of him In 1900, and It Is altogether probable that they would like to avoid the necessity of nominating him fn 1909. The other reason may be found in Jerome him self. He is a delightful man to meet so cially. He "stacks up well," as the Houth- erne re ssj\ District Attorney Jerome may not be much of a statesman, and with Tammany opposed to him bis chances for the Democratic nomination look slim. But he is as much of a statesman as Bryan, and the country would l»e a good deal safer In his hands.—Kauses City Journal.
