The Committee Vindicates The Georgian. • When the Hat la written of the service* which The Georgian has rendered and may yet have the happiness to render to the farmers of Georgia, we trust that this Incident of the cotton association Investigation wilt not be forgotten. If The Georgian with all Its power of publicity and with the good .name which it has won and hopes and believes It has deserved, had not entered Into this de mand for an investigation Into the affairs of the associa tion there would probably never have been one. The conditions and abuses which are now confessed to exist would have continued and perhaps Increased to an extent that would have been dangerous to 'the asso ciation and In every respect hurtful to the cotton growers themselves. We candidly confess that tbls agitation upon our part grew primarily out of a Justifiable effort to repel an unworthy insinuation on the part of Harvle Jordan against the Integrity of this paper. We say frankly and those who know us best know we speak truthfully, that with this brief statement the controversy under ordinary circumstances would bave dropped. But with the ea- trance Into the arena of a newspaper frank enough and brave enough to bear much prejudice In the Intereat of a great cause, there came to us so many testimonies and so many protests, not only from the men conducting the light for and against the Boykin bill, but from the multitude of private cltlseos and farmers throughout the country, that The Georgian felt distinctly laid upon It the obligation of an honeat newspaper to shed the full light of publicity upon this transaction and to compel the probe of Investigation to be Inserted Into thf affairs of the association. Suppose that we had not done so? Buppose that day by day the editorial columni and the news columns of this paper had not presented the evidence that was so Inter esting to the cotton growers of the South? Supposo we had not tnken nn alarm at the bold Insinuation of Representative Anderson, of Cheatham, on the floor of the stato legislature and decided that the honesty and safety of tho cotton growers' association was at stake In Its Investigation of the rumors against It? Why, the chances are that there would have been no Investigation, but that the matter would have almmered away as such matters nearly always do, to a standstill There might have been a little gossip, a little protest and a ltttlo kicking, but by thla time the Issue would havo passed Into obscurity. Instead of that, with nn honest representative and a bold and out-spoken representative of the press to set In behalf of tho cotton growers and of the aaaoclatlon, an Investigation haa been compelled, a committee has been In session. And, behold! ajl and more than The Georgian charg. ed and that Representative Anderson charged, haa been established and condemned by the committee which was railed to consider It! After everything has been said and done, both Rep resentative Anderson and this paper have been abun dantly vindicated In the tight that they have made for the cleansing of the oOclal life of a great organisation. What we charged was that while these men were loudly rondemnlng cotton speculation with lip and with pen, that right Jn the offlee of the president there were pub lic officials who with hand and with pocket book In per sons! speculations were contradicting the sincerity of their outalde professions. And^ behold! (tie committee declares In specific lan guage that It la the soundest policy that the cotton as sociation should condemn In the strongest possible lan guage any dealing In futures for-themselves or others, on the part of any officer or officer* or employees of that association, or being In any way an owner or a stock holder or otherwise Interested In any concern dealing In cotton futures or buytng or selling same. Was not this the exact position taken by The Geor gian In Its argument and In Its call for an Investigation Into the n(Tatra of the association? Was not thl* the dis tinct and definite reason that thla paper gave for de manding this investigation? That It was for the Merest of the association and that the engagement of Ita offi cial* In such practices was In the highest degree hurtful and destructive to the organization, the committee now declares. Tho committee further declares that Mr. Richard Cheatham, secretary of the aaaoclatlon, admitted auch speculation and dealing on hla part In the name of Mike O'Grmdy. la not thla all or nearly all that The Georgian con tended for In this call for an Investigation? Talk about thlu paper's "not knowing anything about It of Ita own knowledge." Why, who knows anything about anything until testimony and evidence are brought? What did the committee know until the evidence was ought to Its possession? What does any court of Jus- >r any Jury know about the conditions of a case until the witness.)* for and against It are put upon the stand to tell their stories? And The Georgian having the tea- Uaonjr of thoroughly creditable and reputable witnesses In the rase of the speculation that was engaged In by the feated It, there officers of tho association. and having reason to believe I country, that an officer of this association was personally en gaged In one of the very Institutions which be and hi newspaper were most loudly condemning, what was left for us ns a public Journal and a friend of the cotton growers' association and a partisan advocate of Its pros perity and an earnest well wisher for Its continued ef fectiveness, to do but to bring these abuseB to the light that they might promptly be purified and the official life ,of the association cleared? And this has been done. Wo say frankly that the committee did all we think could have been done. * Wi cheerfully and cordially withdraw in the aggregate any Imputation and recall any criticism wo may havo had occasion to lay upon tho committee. Whatever tho at titude of Individual members, the committee, as a, whole, haa fairly and squarely done three things. It baa vindicated Ita own integrity and Impartiality. It baa thoroughly and completely vindicated The Georgian and Representative Anderson. And by It* testimony and tho definite condemnation of Richard Cheatham It has purified the official life of the administration and will put the cotton association upon a larger and better basis of usefulness than It has held before. As a cltlxen, as a Journalist, and aa a friend of tbo potton association, we thank the committee for the clear neas and the vigor of Its action upon thla discussion, The Georgian may be permitted to say that It has no sense of personal enjoyment In the agitation of these abuses. The work of an agitator and of a-reformer la never a popular and rarely a happy one. It goea always against prejudice, and against established conditions and against the hatred of those who are brought to Judg ment But we have fought a good fight We have be lieved the things for which we fought. " We have been vindicated by the Judgment of the tri bunal to whom our cause and tha cause of the cotton growers waa submitted, and we feel at least the pleasure and the satisfaction of knowing thla finding of the com mittee, whether endorsed by the general executive com mittee or not, will be of Immeasurable benefit to the cot ton growers of the South. If Richard Cheatham la removed It will be a lesson In discipline to every officer of the cotton association In the future, and If he la not removed by the general ex ecutive committee, then the agitaton of this question, tho fearleaa newspapers and .the fearless publicists have put on warning those who bold positions In this great or ganization that the power of publicity and the power of the press stands ready now and always to defend the aaaoclatlon from the error* of officials and to turn tha light upon abuses wherever they may be. It may lately be stated that no official of the South ern Cotton association prill bo engaged either directly or Indirectly for the next ten yeara In practices that are unworthy of hla large responslbllttes. It may also safely be prophesied that the officers of tbls and of other administrations having the peo ple's Interest at stake will be put on notice by this ag itation that they must square their conduct by a high standard of Integrity In their responsibility to the future. We have no desire to see Richard Cheatham pun tshed. We havo no wiah to reflect upon hla personal In tegrlty. It la entirely poaalble that with this strong rebuke administered to him tor an error In hla official life that he will sin no more In the future along these lines. And It la alio probablo that be will be taught a valauble les ion In the denouncing of such things with hla Ups as h* practices with bis bands. We have not one line of personal anlmoalty toward him. We have not one Im pulse that demands hla punishment. We feel that our fight has betir won, that the correctness of our position has been established, and that the cotton aaaoclatlon, which we endorse, baa been purified, put on new ground and Invigorated and strengthened for a great and even more successful future). And wltl^ this we are done. We are now free to de vote ourselves to the help of the Cotton Growers' Asso ciation In any way In whleh we can be useful. Unless circumstances should compel us to renew the discussion Just prior to the meeting of the general executive com mittee In September, or to the assembly of the annual convention In May, we have nothing more to say. "Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully re joice over me; neither let them wink with the eye."— Psalma 35:19. Those people who are thoughtfully Interested In the cotton association Investigation will find It Instructive and profitable to read In T*.e Georgian the very calm and Intelligent statement of Hon. James J. Lea. publisher of The Trade Index, of New Orleans, who Is a recognised and standaru authority upon all matters relating to the marketing of the cotton crop with which he has been closely connected tor thirty years Must the House of Lords Go ? It Is not Improbable that one of the most notable criaea In the history of the British parliament may be precipitated at any Ume, having aa its purpose nothing less than the overthrow or radical reorganisation of the hereditary house of lords. No thinking man believes that the time will ever come when the upper chamber will be abolished. In practically all constitutional governments an upper house, corresponding to the American Senate. Is found necessary as a sort of balance wheel and countercheck to the popular body, but the Idea of an hereditary body of legislators, responsible to no one and able at any time to nullify the proceedings of the lower house, has been growing In disfavor for a long time. This fact was emphasised ten yeara ago when Mr. Gladstone's second home rule bill was adopted by the house of commons. The first bill providing for a sep arate parliament for the Irish people had been defeated In the lower house. It waa Objected that It did not provide for the retention of any Irish representatives In the British parliament, and this was made at the time the basis of strong opposition. The second home rule measure corrected this, and It went through the house of commons by a large major ity. The country was very much worked up on the subject, and when the house of lords peremptorily de- and member of parliament, displayed the greatest skill In the handling of the measure, and It has Just passed the house of commons. The question now Is, will the house of lords refuse to pass this measure? Will they block this great popu lar demand, aa they obstructed home rule? It Is reported that they will, or at least will so radically amend it that great Indignation throughout the Mr. Gladstone retired from the liberal leadership and from the house of commons. His last speech In the chamber where be had labored so long and so gloriously was practically an appeal for the drastic reorganization of the house of lords. * Lord Rosebery succeeded him In the liberal leader-1 It will be of no value. This has started the discussion Bhlp. anew of reorganizing the house of lords, and imposing The distinguished liberal peer was handicapped I upon them some measure of responsibility. The Indlca- from the first by the very fact that he was a peer and | tlona are that something will be done if the expected that he must sit In the bouse of lords, where he could . happens and the education bill Is defeated, not possibly hope to Influence a single vote. He could J speak eloquently and persuasively, but the field of his i activity was too restricted. The new government drifted. The country had ex pected that one of the first features of the new govern ment program would be some reorganization of the house of lords by which the will and wish of the popu lar body could not be defeated, but no such measure was adopted. The consequence was that the liberal government soon went down In defeat and Lord Salis bury came In at tho head of a conservative government From time to time since those memorable days there has been a great deal of talk about the reorgan ization of the house of lords. The Idea of hereditary legislators has grown more and more repugnant to the genius of the English people. The leading feature on the program of the present liberal government, which came In this year, after one of the most overwhelming victories In parliamentary history, wnn the adoption of an education bill which strikes at tho very root of the system of sectarian edu cation. The nonconformists have objected strenuously to paying taxes for* tho education of children In forms of faith which they (the nonconformists) did not believe In, and they have demanded a system of secular educa- catlon. It Is a moderate measure, after all, for lt*!eaves It entirely possible for the established church to carry on sectarian education outside of regular school hours, by a different corps of teachers, at a separate expense, but It removed the great ground of objection entertal «jl by the dissenters trpm the established church The measnre was Introduced by Augustine Blr- rell—and the wags promptly christened It the Blrrellg- lous bill. While a literary man of the highest prominence, be nevertheless, as the head of the board of education “A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth; he winketh with his eyes.”—Proverbs 7:12-13. What Mr. Seymour Said. If Mr. Committeeman Seymour ts correctly reported by The Morning Constitution as Baying that he made an offensive and Insulting remark to the editor of The Georgian when the editor waB upon the wltnesa stand on Wednesday, then Mr. Committeeman Seymour has stated an Intentional or unintenUonal untruth. The editor of The Georgian mentioned ex-Vlce President Pe ters of Texas as among the multitude of critics of the Jordan administration. Some committeeman, whom we now suppose to be Mr. Seymour, stated his strong dislike for Mr. Peters, and his unwillingness to accept hla evidence, which was of course n matter altogether between Mr. Seymour and Mr. Peters. Another com mitteeman, whom we suppose to be Mr. Allison, asked If It was a friendly act to quote Mr. Peters, nnd the editor replied that without any knowledge of the quarrel between Mr. Peters and Mr. Jordan, he thought It was the friendliest possible act to shed all possible light from every source upon the Investigation In progress. But from first to last there was not one discourteous or disrespectful word, uttered either by the editor to the committee, or by any member of the committee toward the editor. We are willing to guarantee that Colonel W. L. Peek and President M. L. Johnson voted for the square clean thing In the committee of Investigation. "He that perverteth hla ways shall be known; he that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow.’’—Proverbs 10:9-10. Growth and Progress of the New South Southern Textile Manufactures. It Is known even to the moet superficial observer that the South is making wonderful strides In the matter of cotton manufactures. Within the past twenty-five years the number of cotton spindles In the South haa Increased from <12,000 to 9,211,000, while the number of tales consumed has Increased from 199,459 to 2,140,000.- The South le row nuj- earning more than 15 per cent of the entire cotton crop. The Carolines alone consume more cotton than the entire state of Massachusetts, which, only a short tlm* ago, was the very home of the cotton mill Industry. Of this Southern consumption the state of Georgia Is manufacturing nearly one-fourth, or practically 250,000 bales a year. Not only cotton mills, but knitting mills, are springing up a'l over the South. The Manufacturers’ Record, In a recent article on the subject, says that while the cotton spinning Industry of the South has been progressing and receiving the attention which It deserved, there has been a gratifying advance In the knitting of cotton Into hosiery and miscellaneous garments for underwear. The establishment of knitting mills throughout the South, while not unusual In Its activity, has been steady during the past several years, and the various plants, of which there are 154, represent an Indus try to which It Is worth while to give some consideration at this time. Most of the mllle are of limited else and capacity, and many of them dispose of their output through local stores and merchants of their section. Yet there are a number which market their output through commission houses In New York and other cities. In a number of Instances these Southern plants have New York offices and are largely owned or controlled by experienced knll goods manufacturers and merchants of the North and East. The Manufacturers' Record hae obtained, through direct correspond ence wlththe Southern knitting mills, some data showing the extent and character of alt the plants. Letters addressed to 159 .companies brought 119 replies, and the othsr 40 companies are given credit as to equipment and other details according to a recent textile directory. An examination of the tabulated Hat shows that there are 159 knitting mills, all of them In op eration, and 109 of them dye and otherwise finish their manufactures ready for the market. The total amount of Invested capital Is 97,112,450; the num ber ot knitting machines operated Is 14,920; the number of spindles operated la 124,404, and the number of operatives la 19,950. The farts gleaned from the data Indicate that the Southern knit goods Industry will continue to advance and keep pace with the progress of the Southern cotton spinning and weaving Industry and the general development of all the other manufacturing possibilities of the Southern states. It may be mentioned that the-product of these mills Includes all kinds of hosiery, ribbed vests and other garments of underwear for women, fleece- lined underwear and vaVlous other articles of wearing apparel In the same class. CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS ON. From The Macon News. It looks as If Cheatham has been caught with the goods on and should go from the Cotton Growers’ Assocla tlon, but In'the meantime we are fig uring on what sort of an IriaMnan Is Mike O'Qrady to turn state's evidence on the fellow who had helped him make money. O'GRADY AND CHEATHAM. From The Charlotte Chronicle. The delayed Investigation Into the chargee made against some officers of the Southern Cotton Association that they have been speculating In futures. Is appointed to be held In Atlanta to day. Meanwhile, the papers of that city have been giving some front pages of more than usual Interest, The Jour nal even crowding out Hoke Smith stuff to make room for Investigation talk. A good deal has been made out of the feet that Mr. Richard Cheatham, secretary of the association, hss been handling money and buying and tell ing futures for Mr. Mike O'Orady, who Is the vice president and manager of a still house In Chattanooga. He admits that he was trading on the Atlanta exchange, but that Richard Cheatham was handling the money and using Ms judgment as to when to buy and sell. He says: ”1 have had Cheatham work several trades for me, In cotton alto gether. He did this at my earnest so licitation. For business reasons, I did not care to lend myself to speculation In Chattanooga, where I live, and, therefore, wrote Mr. Cheatham to handle my trades for me In Atlanta Mr. Cheatham told me that he had a friend In an exchange there who was strictly honest and reliable and who could be depended upon to keep his business to himself." It appears that he gave Cheatham 92,000 with which to gamble, but that Cheatham advised him against speculation. Cheatham says In his own behalf that he simply "acted aa a friend.” In hla Individual capac ity. Mr. Cheatham, of course, has the right to speculate for himself and his friends, but as long as he bolds the responsible position of secretary of the Southern Cotton Association. he ehould keep out of auch business.

From The Montgomery Journal. It looks aa If graft has become In grained In American character. Com plaint was made about the leaks In the crop reports from the department of agriculture. The press and the peo ple were up In arms, so to apeak, agalnat Secretary Wilson, and his whole department. Certain employee* were dismissed from the service and Indicted. Congresa took a hand In the matter, and Insofar as crop reports are concerned, there was a reconstruction of the force of the department of agri culture. The gamblers In future con tracts, finding no more leaks at Wash ington, have Invaded the Southern Cotton Association Itself. It has been charge* before the legislature of Georgia that officers of the associa tion sre connected with a bucket shop In the city of Atlanta' It seems that Dr. J. M. Crawford, who holds stock In the Piedmont Brokerage Company, which ts nothing but a bucket shop, states that this concern was promoted by Secretary Cheatham, of the South ern Cotton Association, who frequently gave him tips on the markets. While It Is denied that the association Is In any way connected with a bucket shop. It Is not denied thus far that officers of the association have had an Interest In a bucket shop. Unless upon a full and fair Investigation It Is shown that these charges are unsupported by the facta the aseorlatlon will be great ly damaged In the estimation ot the farmers and the planters of the South. The Farmera' Alliance went to pieces on the rock of politics. It Is feared that graft may end the usefulness of the Southern Cotton Association. Un fortunately, there Is too much greed and desire to get rich quick In this country.
