But he cannot make him drink without he will. —Heywood. Saturday Evening. "When a ndw .book eotnoe oat,** *ald- Emeraon, read an old one." There la a measure of wisdom In tha attitude of the great essayist and philosopher of Concord. In this age of tho making of many books It la a phyalcal lmpoaal Witty to keep abreast of the teeming output ot the press. Some man of Infinite patience and an Inquiring turn of mind has estimated that It would require tbree thou sand year* to. read the standard literature of the world. With this appalling tact staring the student In the face he naturally licks the courage In some Instancei to un. dertako the task at all, and contents himself with a more or lees courageous gttempt to keep In touch with the Umes. The truth of the matter la that neither attitude la correct The man who attempts to devour the Inter minable output of the press of these productive days hnn a hopeless task It would be far wiser to wait until time has sifted out the books that are really worth while and then read them and digest them. But It la the vital life of today which la worth while, after all. The House, of Commons never had a more vigorous and convincing member than Lord Ran dolph Churchill, at least In recent times. From tho day when he assumed leadership ot the Fourth party, which was. In effect, a party ot four, he gave the grave and rev erend signors more trouble and stirred them to greater activity than all the other leaders combined. And yet Churchill tyas practically never known to read anything but the parliamentary reports and blue- books. He was as full of facta a* dynamite Is of danger, and all of them bore directly an the matter In hand. He was a lire wire when he arose to make a speech. No man would seriously deprecate the value of cul ture. The man who takes all knowledge ’for his' prov ince and absorbs culture and Information wherever he can find It Is undoubtedly better equipped for the bat tle of life than his less Informed brother: But there are so many things around us which aro of pressing Importance, so many ways In which we can better, the condition of our neighbor and the human race that It looks like a waste of time to be wandering too far afield. The man who start* out to inform himself and to see the world shduld see 'his own country and should learn the needs ot hl< own peoplg. first of all, snd then If he has any spare dime let his ' "Observation. With extensive view. Survey maoklnd from China to Peru.” Why should not the Hon. Harvle Jordan appoint the Hon. Richard Cheatham and the Hon. A. A. Fair- child* as his high court and commission to try the offi cers of the Southern Cotton Association upon the charges, of bucket shog ownership and, cotton specula tion? * ■ “Al” Adams’ Bucket Shop. We will not pause at this Juncture to dwell upon the startling revelation made In the current number ot Every body's Magazine, which reached Atlanta on Thursday, to the effect that the convicted Jailbird and swindler, "Al" Adams, Is the moneyed man In the firm ot M. J. Sage A Co., which In turn was the Now York end of the Pied mont Brokerage Company at the time that a salaried oni cer of the Southern Cotton Association was a stock holder In It ' We shall content oursslvss with quoUng the magaslne artlcle'a graphic phrase that "from the es-convlct head of M. J. Sago & Ca, to the humblest employee, WE DOUBT IF THERE IS A MAN CONNECTED WITH THti ORGANIZATION WHO COULD BE TRUSTED NOT TO STEAL DEAD MICE FROM A BLIND KITTEN." The confession of the salaried ofllcer of the Southern Cotton Association, mads over his own signature, that he was a stockholder In the Piedmont Brokerage Company, establishes rather an unsavory Intimacy between the Southern Cotton Association and "Al” Adams, the noto rious graduate of Sing Sing. The Cotton Association Unharmed. Whatever the outcome ot the present Investigation -Into the conduct and Integrity of the offlclala ot the South ern Cotton Association, one thing Is sure, the Cotton As- soclaUon itself cannot be Injured and cannot possibly be destroyed. The motives that bind that great organisation togeth er are too high and lofty and the mission which It has to subserve In the world Is too definite and lndlspensablo for any permanent harm to come to this great body of the organised planter* and sellers ot the South'* greatest and most Important crop. It Is to be hoped for the benefit of the association and for the honor .ot alt concerned that the implication* that involve the official life ot the association may be sat Isfactorily answered and fully explained. If so, the at mosphere will be all the purer for the storm which has passed over It, and the agitation which reveals good conduct and faithful i administration will strengthen rather than retard ttte work of the association. If, on the other hand, the Implications which Involve the offi cers of the association should be sustained either In .whole or In part by the Investigation which Is to follow, It will be the duty of the association to purge Itself of all unworthy representatives and with new men chosen from the great rank ot the farming Interests and these men warned and disciplined by the sensitiveness of the asso ciation toward the action of Its officials,' and by the splendid discipline which rebukes their offense In this direction, will take hold with new faith and new Inspira tion to carry the organisation forward to Its grand and Indispensable work. No offenses and no charges which are promptly met fand promptly and properly handled can ever affect a great company of honest men. The only thing is that the organisation Itself shall b* fearless snd shall be fair and absolutely honest In Its handling of charges so se rious. And with these requests compiled with, the re sult must be new strength and new hope and new use fulness rather than a diminution of power or of effective work, t Under no circumstances, then, does the cotton asso ciation need to fear or to hesitate. Its motives are clear, its work Is approved. Its elements aro mighty, and Its membership Includes that which Is best and highest and most representative In tho South. It has only to be brave, to be honest and be sure It will bo successful. Mr. Jordan and the Issue. No display of Harvle Jordan's vulgar temper shall divert this paper from Its high purpose of reaching the truth In this vital matter that concerns the cotton grow er* of the state. We have lived our life before the people of Georgia and it Is not In the power of Harvlo Jordan's wounded ppleen to disturb the serenity of our own conscience or the public confidence which we have won and prise above all human possessions. Harvle Jordan disclaims In his card of Friday all responsibility for the cartoon which contained the offen sive element ot his original card. It he had halted with this disclaimer, as any gentle man should have done, and awaited our reply, the per sonal element of this discussion, which Is neither of our choosing nor of our liking, might have been eliminated there and then. But having disclaimed the cartoon, he goes on, In a spirit of small'vindictiveness totally unworthy of a lea'der or a. man. to resay all and mors than the cartoon contained, and to. write a scurrilous and vindictive ti rade of abuse, Without dignity, without’ logic and without application to the great Issue at- stake. - We content ourselves with an expression of regret that the president of the Southern Cotton Association has so little control of his malice and his temper as to voluntarily destroy the opportunity of personal harmony which hi* statement of fact preferred. We shall-not on this qnlet Saturday afternoon reply In kind to the unseemly temper ot Mr. Jordan's card. We wifi wait until Monday to see It reflection shall bring to him a bette# spirit and a truer speech. Mr, Jordan and The Georgian occupy stations too high and responsible to make them examples of bitterness and billingsgate. The Interests of the great organization for which they stand are too serious aud Important to be blurred In personal wrangle. We have said no word of personal abuse or personal reflection upon the president of the Cotton Association. Upon tile Impulse of hi* In temperate words there come to us now words equally severe and perhaps equally Intemperate. These words we (epress for this day. They will keep until Monday, and by that time they should not be necessary! IVe are not engaged in a personal quarrel with Har- vlo ^Jordan. If so The Georgian's columns should not be used to air It J We are engaged In a serious effort to protect the Southern Cotton Association from Implications of alarm ing error that Involve Its official life. We desire only one thing; to ascertain whether the officials of that association are dealing worthily and wisely with the vast Interests In their care. Insinuations have been made which touch' this vital Issue to tha quick. We ask ot Harvle Jordan, as the president of this greet body, to give to the cotton growers and to the public a free and fair public trial of these charges before a proper Jury and a proper Judge. We ask that no partial place of hearing shall be named hnd that no Jury, however honorable, shall be selected, whose nearness to the accused might cause Its own verdict to be viewed askance. We ask that no undue haste, no Influence, no manipulation of evidence, and no exodus from Atlanta of essential witnesses shall be permitted to vitiate the tjlftl. We ask that the Investigation be so conducted from first to last, so as to leave no doubt In the public mind of Its fairness, lb completeness and Its sincerity. The statements set forth In other columns of this paper to day are written not In mallco, but to make olear the lines on which the public wishes light and Information. If these elements shall be preserved we shall accept the verdict without criticism or complaint. It that verdict vindicates the Jordan administration we shall say so as heartily and fully as wi ever said anything on a public Issue. It It shall convict the administration we aball In the Interests of the cotton grower as fear lessly urge the purging and reorganisation of the great body upon whose life and effectiveness the prosperity ol the South depends. We subordinate for a time all personal considers lions to this great general end. The Cotton Organ and the S. C. A. “Will the association nsk for the resignation ot Fairchild, now that his former conhectlon with a brokerage concern has become known?" Mr. Cheat ham was asked. - The secretary of the association declined to dis cuss this question, nor would he comment on the fact that charges had been made that E. O. Holtse, former manager of the Piedmont Brokerage Company, had written editorials for The Cotton Journal with which Mr. Cheatham Is connected. Mr. Cheatham did say, however, that The Journal had no connec tion with the Cotton Association.—Atlanta Journal, July 27. For the present we are directly concerned with the statement that The Cotton Journol "has no connection wltli the Cotton Association.'' Then the Interesting question arises, WHO PAID FOR THOSE DOUBLE-COLUMN ADVERTISEMENTS PUB LISHED IN NEW8PAPER8 FROM GEORGIA TO TEXAS ABOUT TEN DAYS AGO, calling upon the farmers of tho South to send In information as to their present and prospective crop, with two lines printed In black type at the end, as follows: "THE COTTON JOURNAL, PUBLISHED WEEKLY AT ATLANTA, GA., WILL PUBLISH REPORT8 IN EACH ISSUE." There you are! Of course The Cotton Journal "hat no connection with the Cotton Association"—when It cornea to dividing tht* profits of the organ with the association which feeds It. BUT HOW DID THAT BOOST FOR THE ATLANTA COTTON JOURNAL, IN BLACKER TYPE THAN ALL THE REST OF THE TEXT, GET TANGLED UP IN AN ADVERTISEMENT PAID FOR, PRESUMABLY, BY THE SOUTHERN COTTON ASSOCIATION, AT A COST OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS? The whole thing Is a pretty muddle! "And the farmer feeds them all." It It to be hoped that the habit of allowing an ac cused official or an accused administration to select Its own Judge, sheriff snd Jury, will not progress beyond the Southern Cotton Association Into the regular channels ot our Jurisprudence. Still Mr. Jordan It a man of tran scendent Judgment, as Illustrated In his notable cam paign for 16 cents cotton. His Own Organ Confounds, Him. ''The losses to which you refer have been sus tained through the maintenance of backet shops and local wire houses, which you are trying so hard to bolster up and which the legislatures of Georgia and the other states Intend to suppress. I have received thousands of letters from farmers In the past few months and spoken to thousands more an,d In not one letter, or from the Ups of a single farmer In Georgia or elsewhere, have I ever been criticised at you In sinuate."—From Harvle Jordan's open letter, July 27. Is that true, Mr. Jordan? This Is realty refreshing! Why, In tbo Identical Issue of your Cotton Journal which contained your eriUclsms of the editor of The Geor gian appeared.the following touching and significant let ter: ... Waynesboro, Ga., June 28, 1906. Atlanta. Cotton Journal, Atlanta, Ga. Gentlemen:—Have you nny Information that would be an advantage to a man holding spot cot ton? I expected by this date cotton would nt least bring 12 to 1,'t ci-ii'u. 1 have li.-wi .holding "fill hub s slnco October and December last, and the expenses will bo at least three-fourths to one cent per pound. I fear unless some crop disaster, prices won't bo bet ter, especially when the South Is willing to sell tho new crop lor about 10 cents. It looks like It Is best to close out Yours truly, THOMAS QU1NNEY. What wag your reply to this deluded victim of your bad advice? ■ . SILENCE, OEEP ,\ND PALPABLE! He was entitled to some light on that “arrangement" between the notorious "Joa" Hoadlcy and yourself, by which tbo former was to underwrite 500,000 bales ot cotton to be held for 16 cents, but be didn't get It. HERE IS 'ONE LETTER, MR. JORDAN, IN YOUR OWN ORGAN. HOW MANY MORE HAVE YOU RE CEIVED? As the matter stands Mr. Qulnney has sustained a loss of over 11-2 cents a pound, between prevailing prices and' tho highest of the season, to which may be added from three-fourths to one cent per pound for expenses. If he closes out now he will lose something like $10 per bale or practically $2,660 on his holdings. Ahd In point of fact, Mr. Jordan, there are a cloud of witnesses who will rise up to confront you, Just as Thomas Qhlnney has done. The Decatur Waterworks and Subur ban Prospects. ^|The Decatur people In an election called for August 14th will vbte on a bond Issue of $39,000 tor a waterworks system, and $5,000 for sewerage way. It Is difficult to see bow the people of Decatur can fall to vote any other way than affirmatively upon this Important question. There le no one thing in which the suburbs of large cities are more vitally Interested than In this question ot facilities which will make them more eligible as places of residence and of business. There are a thousand ad vantage* which carry people who live In the great cities to a residence in adjacent suburbs. Cleanliness, econo my, closeness oY association, pure air, freedom from heat and dust, quiet associations and better health, all combine to make the suburbs attractive as a place of residence. But all of these are frequently minified by tbe absence of waterworks and of sewerage plants which people who live in clUes have been accustomed to, and It might as well be understood now as later by our sub urban residents that if they expect to hold their popula tion and attract other people to a residence In these places, that It must be done by providing the conven iences which are Indispensable to tho higher forms of modern life. The present population of Decatur Is about 2,000 and that Includes some of tho best known and best condi tioned people of the state. It would entail a compara tively small tax upon these people to vote this sum for these bonds, and the people who own real estate In that delightful suburb may as well realize that If they do not provide these conveniences, the value of their property will be diminished In the future because, fewer people will care to occupy for residence or business purposes these places, whereaB, It they generously vote for these Improvements the demand for suburban residences will multiply and Increase an hundred-fold. And those who own or control property In these places will feel the Im mediate Impulse or public Improvements which make them eligible for residence or for business life. * And what has been Bald with reference to Decatur applies with equal force to College Park and to other adjoining suburbs whose real estate values must rise or fall in proportion to the enterprise and to the enerygy with which Its people take hold of these indispensable public Improvements. We trust that our friends and neighbors of Decatur will rise to the full measure of this opportunity and set the example for other surburban towns by their public spirit and far-seeing judgment In public affairs.. It was not so much the had judgment and the fool ish reasoning of Mr. Jordan In his campaign for 16 cents cotton, but it Is in the most intolerable obstinacy of his mistaken Judgment upon It that will be remem bered by the farmers and cotton growers whose empty pockets are tbe sorrowful resultants of his error. Nor Is It the mere mistaken Judgment for which Harvle Jordan and 16 cents cotton will be remembered, but it Is for the intolerable and ungrateful treatment which he accords to others whose judgment has differed from his own.

National Banks in the South. In the course of an article In thle column on yesterday It was shown that the deposits In the bank* and trust companies of the South were $000,- 000,000 more last year than thq*- were fifteen years ago. To bring tlft matter somewhat nearer home and more nearly up to date It may he stated that the bank clearings In Atlanta for the present week were more tnan a million dollars,th excess of the corresponding week last year. All of which lends a timely Interest'to an article In the current'leans of The Manufacturers’ Record, stating that an abstract of reports of the condition of national banke lately Issued by the comptroller of the cur rency ahowe a most gratifying condition of such Institutions In the South. There are altogether 1,195 national banks In this section, the state of Texas containing the largest number, namely, 471; In fact, there Is only one state In the Union which has more national banks than Texas, and that Is Pennsylvania, with a total of <90. Including Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Missouri, there are 1,U3 national banks. In tbe South and southwest. After Texas, Indian Territory t has the largest number In this section, 148; Kentucky Is next, with 118; Oklahoma has IIS, Missouri 107, Maryland SI, Virginia 88, West Virginia 83, Georgia 75, Alabama 71,-Ten nessee <8, North Carolina 52, Louisiana and Florida 35 each, Arkansas IS, 8outh Carolina 28, Mississippi 24, Washington and the District of Colum bia IS. This section, says The Record, has altogether more than three times as many national banks as the New England states and about 400 more than the Eastern states. It has about as many as the middle West, nearly 700 more than the Western states, and more than six times as many as the Pacific states. The loans and discounts ot the Southern banks tndlcats closely the con dition of their business, the total amounting to <568,101,089. Including Mis souri, Oklahoma and Indian Territory, the tqtat ts $781,637,455, Inasmuch as the total Individual deposits In the South are In round figures gbout $508,000,000 and the total capital and surplus about $182,000,000, the fore going figures Indicate that the money ot the banks Is generally actively employed and doing Ite share toward the advancement of the material in terests ot the country. The addition of Missouri adds about $38,000,000 to the total capital and surplus and about $128,000,000 to the Individual de posit*. Oklahoma and Indian Territory Increase the capital and surplus fund by something more than $12,000,000 and the Individual depohlts by over $30,000,000.

Here le a bill affecting the piscatorial destiny of a noble stream In his neck of the woods. Yet he falls utterly to seise the opportunity for a display of his forensic powers! Why?

And. blushing under the fiery ava lanche of Senator Steed's arraignment.

Not even a wessened. worm-inhab ited peach adorned - the pres* table. When the members of the fourth estate came In they looked upon a senate en gaged In gorging Itself on luscious fruit. But nobody remembered that reporters had an appetite for such things. Just back of the press table a basket of big. rosy-cheeked, juicy Elbertas reposed. There was a hurried council of war. and one of the reporters quiet ly sneaked a newspaper over the bas ket and Its contents. The business of making laws moved on serenely.
