In a newer and more substantial sense than we have ever realised before, Cotton Is kina, and the people of this country are paying willing tribute to the royal sta ple. The balance of trade In our favor has been dwelt upon time and time again. It amounts to something like half a billion dollars, which Is so much money that the average mind cannot even comprehend It. But It may come as something of a surprise to most people to real ire that the amount which our exports of cotton contrib ute to this balance of trade la, for the first time In our history, more than (100,000,000. When we reflect that the value of our breadstuffs of all kinds exported foe the fiscal year just ended was only (186,000,000, those of provisions only 8211.000,000 and those of iron and steel manufactures only 1161,000,000, we get something of sn Idea of the pre-eminence of King Cotton in the magnificent export trade of the country. According to the report of the department of com merce and labor, the value of cotton exported baa In- creaaed very rapidly during the past few years. It was not until 1001 that It croased the (300,000,000 line, and in a short five years period It has grown to more than (400,000,000, or an Increase of about 33 per cent. ' This growth Is dne In part to an Increase In the quan tity exported, hot In part also to the advance In price, since the quantity exported In 1906 was about 700,000,000 pounds less than In 1905, while the value was (21,000,000 moro than In 1905. The exportation of manufactured cotton wai also larger In 1906 than In any earlier year, aggregating prac tically (53,000,000, against (50.000,000 In 1905 and (22,- 600,000 In 1904. The growth In manufactured cotton has been quite as striking as that of raw material. Europe Is, of cotirso, our principal customer for raw K, **>n. The United Kingdom took last year (117,000,000 «n*th, Germany (101,000,000, France (45,000,000 aiid Italy about (27,000,000, while the other countries of Europe took about (32,000,000 worth. Japan Is also a customer for our raw cotton, but very Irregular In the quantity bought, since she only buys largely of American cotton when prices are low, relying upon India and China In years when American prices nre high. The value of cot ton oxported to Japan In the fiscal year 1906 waa. In round terms. (8,000,000; In 1905, (17,000,000, and in 1004, less than (3,000,000. In manufactured cotton China is by far our largest customer. The total value of all cotton manufactures ex ported In the fiscal year 1906 waa, as above Indicated, (53,000,000 In round terms, of which about (30,000,000 went to China. Practically all of the cotton goods sent to China waa In the form of cloth, tho total value of cot ton cloths exported to China In the year being (29,641,- 188, and of other cotton goods (172,887. The exports of cotton cloths to China In the fiscal year 1906 exceeded both in quantity and value those of any other earlier year, tho value In 1906 being about two million dollars greater than la 1905. China's rank as a purchaser of American cottons Is indicated by the fact that of the 711.000,000 yards of cotton cloths exported In 1906. 498,000,000 went to China, while about 133,000.000 yards went to the American countries south of the United States, and twenty-flva millions to Asia other than China and Oceania. How the Great Journal Works It. Atlanta Man Invite Brian to Otorgia Fair, (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) New York, Aug. 31.—WUlinm ,!. Bryan waa formally Invited to attend the Georgia atato fair In October by n committee of Atlantans headed by President Alex W. Smith Thursday afternoon. The other members of the committee present at the In terview with Mr. Bryan were John Temple Grnvos, Mayor Woodwprd, John S. Cohen, Nym McCullough, Joseph E. Maddox aud others. Mr. Bryan said he would be glad to come to At lanta In September, hut was afraid he could not conje In Ortober. Ho promised, however, to take the matter under consideration. nn<J President Smith Is quite hopeful Bryan will finally accept. It was with great difficulty that an audience waa ar ranged, but Mr. Smith (moled Issues with Governor Jelks. of AlsbnmB, and Governor Glenn, of North Carolina, and the Joint Invitation was extended to visit the three states during October. The pressure on Mr. Bryan to accept la strong and the matter will again be pressed to his notice. Thle Is a special dispatch from New York to The At lanta Journal. The Journal's special representative In New York on that occasion waa its managing editor. He and he alone waa personally acquainted with the Inci dents of the Inrltatlon to Bryan from Atlanta. The In ference Is conclusive that he sent It. The matter Is trivial, but the spirit manifested In the dispatch la ao curious and suggeatlvo that we cannot for bear explaining it. The editor of The Georgian without his foreknowl edge or request waa made chairman of the Georgia dole- gaUon to receive Bryan and to present to him the Invita tion to the fair. The editor of The Georgian immediately suggested that he should Introduce to Mr. Bryan Presi dent Alex W. Smith, of the fair association, and that Mr. Smith should present the Invitation. Mr. 8mlth promptly declined and urged that the chairman of the delegation should present It. which waa also urged by the commit tee and agreed upon. In the sudden whirl of Mr. Bryan's arrival and the enormous crowd pressing upon him the Georgia dele gation became separated and only the editor of The Georgian, Mr. Smith and the managing editor of The Journal were ablo to get together. The managing editor of The Journal Is perfectly aware of the fact that during that long hard push against the crowding aisles and cor ridors, the editor of The Georgian fulfilled his commission at great personal discomfort—that the editor of The Geor gian alone arranged the combination with Governor Glenn, of North Carolina, and Governor Jelks, of Ala bama, by which the three managed to almost force an audience with Mr.»Bryan, and that the editor of The Georgian btmaelf. with Mr. Smith and the managing ed itor of Thtr Journal Just behind him,, did present the Invitation and hold the conference in behalf of the At lanta fair. And yet la the face of personal knowledge of these i the paper that "always gives the 18018," distinctly mis states the actual occurrence, and for no other ostensible reason than that the chairman of the delegation hap pened to he the editor of a friendly competitor at home. - And almost In the very hour In which this brilliant piece of Journalistic rivalry was put on the wires, the staff of The Georgian were publishing Interviews with the editor of The Journal and exploiting hla political views and opinions with perfect freedom and unbiased generosity. There Isn't s thing In the Incident, The editor of The Georgian deserves and desires no credit for so sim ple a thing as presenting an invitation to Mr. Bryan. But we cannot forbear to contrast the methods of a real news paper with the methods of "Speclsl Managing Corre spondent," , The Day We Celebrate Thla is the annual featlvai devoted to the cause of labor. There are many occasions which bring out greater amount of pin wheels and red fire, but there are few which more distinctly reflect the sturdy grand eur of the American republic than thla peculiar day which is devoted to the cause of bone and sinew. It hat become altogether too much the faahlon to deprecate that little Incident In the Garden of Eden which made It necessary that man should eat bread In the sweat of hla brow. The sybarites and the Idlera have dwelt upon the fall of Father Adam as entailing a curse upon mankind. But In point of fact It would be difficult to realize how we ever could have got on with out that exercise of thew and sinew which that adtae fall entailed. It Is almost Impossible to restrain one’s self within reasonable bounds when undertaking to assign,the place devoted to labor In the progress of the world. It Is natural and gratifying to allude to the fact which scien tists have brought out that the lifting of the little fla^r literally shakes the world, and that hence no labor. In whatever channel It may be directed, la entirely loat. Tho man who carves cherry atones with that high type of labor which Is known as patience—the man who has the Infinite capacity for taking pains in small matters as well as "The hand which rounded Peter's dome And groined the aisles of Christian Rome,” all work to the fame great end and Illustrate to the world that labor, like beauty, la its own excuse for being Its own excellent reward, To the loss recondite It Is Interesting tlf realise that tho great cauae which thla holiday celebrates la progress ing all over the world. The moat conservative of men are rapidly sloughing off the ophidian opinion that organ ized labor meant antagonism to tho established Institu tions which capital contributes ao much to support We honestly and frankly believe that the time la passing when the man who Identifies himself with the cauae of labor, tho man who believes In aud contends for the principle of employer*' liability, for shorter hours snd a more wholesome environment wherever he may work, must at the same time be Identified with the followers of Karl Marx and hla school of socialism, And those who look forward hopefully to the achieve ments of organized labor are glad to realize that the civilized world recognizes more and more, as the years go by, that the labor sentiment has come to Btay. What It has achieved In our own country la patent and apparent to all men, and Its Iron hand In the velvet glove was felt in the last session of the fifty-ninth congress. It will make Itself even more manifest In the second session of thst congress and In future assemblages, It It no more than the simple truth to any that no tingle movement In the world politics of recent times has attracted more attention, and has more Justly at tracted the attention It has received, than the recogni tion accorded to the cause of labor In England. We are a greater and In many respects a more progressive peo ple than our English cousins across the sea, but the fact remains that whatever tendency may be manifested In their own Institutions la reflected In the growth and prog ress of our own. And what hat bean the history of the labor move ment In England within the past few years? We find Mr. John Burns with a position In the cabi net of the liberal government. He has been In parlia ment for a long time, but even twenty year* ago It would not have been believed. If any one had said that a man who had to decidedly sprang from the common people at did John Burn* would ever attain to the eminence and Importance he now enjoys. It Is trivial, and yet It la Illuminating, that a few weeks ago, at a levee held by the King of England, feminine member of tho aristocracy meeting Mrs. Burns decided that It waa the proper thing, In view of the pres ent political tendonclea, to show some epeclal considera tion for the wife of the great labor leader In parliament, whereupon she Indited a dainty little billet doux to Mrs. Burns saying: "It is so far from Belgravia to Bayswater that 1 have never had tho opportunity of calling upon you, but If you will accept an Invitation to be present at my 5 o'clock tea on Tuoaday afternoon, I shall be happy to see you.” To thla polite missive Mrs. Burns sent tho succinct and highly significant reply: "! have been looking at the map of London and I find that It la exactly the same distance from Belgravia to Bayswater that it Is from Bayswater to Belgravia. 1 This spirited reply on the part of Mrs. Burnt hat placed her In a new light before the court ladtee and the snobbish aristocracy of England. It Is entirely on a par with the new dignity and Importance which the labor element has acquired In politics and In economics. It was almost a revolution when the liberals came Into power after a long period of exile and was paralleled only by our own Democracy. But undoubtedly the moat notable Incident of the landslide ,was the fact that for tho first time in English parliamentary history the cause of labor acquired the balance of power. This-la really true, for there, among the representatives of the third estate, alt fifty members who are chosen without regard to their conservative or their liberal predilections, but solely be cause of their devotion to the Interests of labor. He who overlooks the same tendency in our own political situation gravely and seriously misreads tho signs of the times. As we have said before, the time has passed when the cauae of labor is identified, even in the minds of the most superficial, with socialism and that rad icalism which finds support from so many political here tics. Bo long as the cause of labor remains pure In its purpose and lofty In Its alliances, having no ulterior mo tive* except that of the laboring people, holding Itself aloof from Republicans and Populists and Socialists and even from Democrats, If need be, ever ready to throw its strength with the party which promises most effectively to bring about the reforms which the time demands—so long will the cause of labor remain a powerful factor In our political and economic life. The exemplars of Its Interests and of its purposes here In Atlanta are men of the highest type of ability and Integrity. No man could Impugn the high purposes which anl- rlth mmething more than perfunctory pleasure that we ' gain of nineteen (ilnees, and showing she Is outrunning greet them today with a cordial "All hail" and hid them " “‘m^* SeVo"?- be of good cheer as to the reforms which lie before them and the noble purposes which are to become concrete facts in the days that are close at hand. Announcement la made that Benjamin H. Hill la a candidate for a seat on the bench of the court of appeals. The elevation of this able and distinguished citizen to that position would reflect the highest credit on that branch of the Judiciary and by almost common consent he would be selected as a man to whom such honor* properly be long. He comes of a family which ranks high in the Judicial annals of the state. Hla father was one of the most eloquent and gifted men the South has ever pro duced. It would be In the nature of the entire fitness of things for such a man ns Mr. Hill to be elevated to the position for which he has been proposed, and It would lend dignity and strength to the recently established court of appeals. GOOD R0AD8 PARAMOUNT. To the Editor of The Georgian: In 1870 Atlanta numbered the fifty-ninth city of the United States. In tho census bulletin of the Wash ington government for'1904 she Is numbered forty, a tlons. Birmingham and Macon, like Atlanta, have gone forward, but the other cities of tho South have fallen back. Baltimore lost one place, which was taken by Boston. Jacksonville loet two plsces, Montgomery three. New Orleans and Louisville each six; Norfolk eight. Other southern cities have dropped back 42, 54 ana 64 places, but it would be unkind to name them. The cities of the United States which have made the most progress are those which have enlarged their areas, Issued large amounts of improvement bonds, constructed parks and boulevards, extended their public works and made themselves attractive to the outsiders. If a city depends only upon Itp birth rate to make It great. It will not Buccecd. Public spirit from within and additions from without push a city to the front Atlanta has an excellent reputation over the country for Its energy, which is a great asset. If a city is physically attractive It will draw both rich nnd poor. In New York—the largest city In the United States—Interest rates are low and wages are high. In small and unprogressivq cities the interest charges are high—so nre taxes—and wages are low. The many, many advantages of living in a big city are being so wel! understood by laboring peo ple that country help la a -scarcity. Unless a country is opened up by first class roads having easy transporta tion to and from the city its primitive condition will be a millstone about its neck. Good roads! Good roads! Good roads! Very sincerely, CHARLES S. BONNEY. Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 30. MANY DELEGATES E IN A TAR'S PHANTASM (Dedicated to Bear Admiral for valorous deeds as mate of the Lancet in her victorious maneuvers in Bibulous Bay, March 15, 1909.) I dreamed that I dwelt on an isle of cracked Ice In the midst of a lake of champagne, Where bloomed the^mlnt Juleps In meadows of green, Amid showers of llthla rain. I reclined on a divan of leger beer foam, With n pillow of broth for my head, While the spray from a fountain of sparkling gin fizz - Descended like dew on my head. From faraway mountain! of crystalline lf», A zephyr, refreshing and cool. Came wafting the Incense of sweet muscatel That sparkled In many a pool. My senses wsre soothed by tho soft, purling song, Of a brooklet of pousee cafe ' That rippled along over pebbles of anow, To a river of absinthe frappe. Then, lulled by the music of tinkling glass From the echoonere that danced on the deep, t dreamily sipped a high ball or two And languidly floated to sleep. i And then I awoke on a bed full of rock* With a bolster as hard as a brick, A wrench In my neck, a rack In my head. And a stomach detestably sick. With sand in my eyes and grit In my throat, Where the taste of last evening still clung, I felt a bath towel stuffed into my mouth. Which I afterward found was my tongue. And I groped for the thread of the evening before* In a mystified maze of my brain, Until a great light burst upon me at last; I'm off of the wagon again! CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL OPEN TUESDA Y Supt. Slaton Expects Attendance of 15,000. Tuesday, September 4, marks the opening of the public school year in At lanta, and Indications point to the largest attendance in the history of the public school system of the city. Last yearthsr* was an attendance of 19,200, and thla year Superintendent Slaton expect* to aee at least 15,000 names registered. There will not be ao many to enter until tha first of October. Monday should be the regular en trance day, but on account of the fact that tha first Monday in September is lAbor Day, the opening Is always post poned until the following Tuesday. The first day will be devoted to or ganisation and the Issuance of list* of books and supplies needed, and rou tine work will commence In earnest Wednesday morning. Drop Vertical System, The most important change In the system of teaching will be the dropping of the vertical system of writing, and the return to the slant system, which was the only one known to our fathers. On account of Its apparent greater legibility and simplicity the vertical system was some years ago adopted, and the return to the old style comee ns a result of complaints from the busi ness men of the city that ths vertical system was much the slower and no more legible. Professor J. H. Smith, who hoa charge of the business depart ment of the Boy*' High School, will have charge of the change In the sys tem, and will give necessary Instruc tions to the teachers. The department of drawing will be In charge of Mist Elizabeth Getz, who cornea from Charleston, S. C., where she has had a large measure of success. She will devote her entire time to the instruction of the pupils of the gram mar grades. Principal Slaton will have charge of the classical department of the Boys' High School, while Professor C. S. Cul ver has been promoted to the head of tho technical department. Graduates of the high schools are now given full credit at the University, Tech and oth er higher Institutions of learning In the state. Tha graduates of the technical department are fitted to enter the aephomore class at the Tech. 3,500 New Pupils Register. Up to Monday morning there had been more thah 3,500 pupils who had not been In the public schools last year, and while Superintendent Slaton would give out no predictions aa to the en rollment for this year, he stated that everything pointed to a record-breaker. The county schools will not open un til September 24, but this year all the schools In the county will run for the full term of nine months. This Is a distinct advance, as In the past very few have continued the term longer than the five months, for which the state provides. There are thirty-nine schools In the county, of which twenty-four are white and fifteen colored. Superintendent Brittain, of the county schools Is very enthusiastic over the prospect for a larger attendance than the county schools have ever known before, nnd also Increased Interest In education, as shown by the longer term which la es tablished, he hopes, permanently. This Is the first time that alt of the county schools have run the full nine montha TO LAW New Grand Jurors Will Se lect Successor to Judge Walter Omiond, CUBAN GOVERNMENT DETERM1NEDTO FIGHT Turns Down Offer of Veterans for Ami cable Settlement. the sympathy of vets. General Mlco, who was one of the moat prominent generals In the war of liberation, succeeding Macro when the latter was killed, laid: "The govern ment's net In not recognizing the vet erans Is apparent. Cubans such as ■re now In the field can hold out In definitely by breaking up In numberless parties of 40 or 60 men. Spain's ex perience should have taught the gov ernment ofitcers better, but they are not the men who fought In the war for Independence. I could take a few ne groes nnd defy all the forces the gov ernment can raise." General Cebreeo said, after leaving the palace, that he dreaded the task of telling the veterans the answer he re ceived from President Palma. It was learned today from a source ordinarily so reliable as to be believed By Private Leased Wire. Havana, Sept. I.—General Cebreeo. representing the Cuban veterans, has had a long talk with President Palma with a view of arbitrating the differ ences between the government and the rebel*- President Palma told the gen eral that the veterans were welcome te confer with the rebels and persuade them to lay down their arms. In which rase they would be free to leave the | j,j. a || that’the'government" had achT™ cd a tentative understanding, that If It wns unable to curb the revolution by September is. It would ask for the as sistance of the United States, but when this was broached to members of the government It was met with such an emphatic denial aa to leave no room for doubting that whatever the govern ment may have discussed. It has de cided to see the thing through by all the force of arm* It can command and will abide by the results. country or return unmolested to their home* by virtue of the recent offer of amnesty. But. he added, It the vet erans look this course, they \ ould act only as private citizens. When General Cebreeo left the palace he met General Mlco, the chief dis bursing officer of the army of libera tion, who, on seeing Cebreeo'* downcast face, said: "Didn't I tell you that the old man ould not llaten even for tbe country's sake?" General Cebreeo answered sadly: "You were right."

Hpcclnl to The Georgia n. Paris, Sepl. 3.—Mrs. G. L. Frost, of Macon, Ga., registered at the office of the European edition of The New York Herald today. “A man must labor enough to keep a good full stomach. A vagrant is a person who does not, when he could, make enough to support himself through his own efforts. If a man can make a dol lar and a half a day and works only one day In the week he Is not earning a bona fide support. A man who Is hungry Is of course more likely to commit a crime than one who Is well fed. If a man works only one day in seven he should be made to stay at homo the other six. There Is nothin* so conducive to crime as Idleness, and it Is your duty to break It up so far as In your power lies." Thle Is the way Judge Pendleton charged the grand Jury In the superior court this morning. He reminded them further that this matter was very Im portant at this time. He told the Ju rors that they should magnify their office, which, he said, was equal in Im portance to that of the governor of the state. In speaking of the recent appoint- ment of a committee to urge upon the grand Jury the necessity for the en forcement of the vagrancy law*, Judge Pendleton said: ‘So far' as I know, there has never ben any failure on the part of a Fulton county grand Jury to enforce the law, and come squarely up to their duties.” "No Excuse for Gaming." In charging the Jury on gaming, for which crime he said there was earthly excuse, the Judge said that, so far as he knew, and so far as he had been able to learn from the officers of the law, there waa not at present any open gambling establishment in Fulton county. He said some houses had run for a time on the quiet before being located, but that as soon as they were found the law had been enforced and they had been broken up. For thla state of affairs, he said, ths county was to be congratulated. "A man who carries a concealed pis tol," said the court In dealing with this portion of hi* charge, "wilt find that, even If he Is not arrested, he Will In the course of a year's experi ence have more trouble then If he left bis weapon at home. His knowledge that he li armed emboldens him to per haps pick a fight where he would not dq so otherwise." Judge Pendleton called the attention of the Jurors to the laws forbidding the selling of liquor , to drunkards and to minors or ‘In the vicinity of churches, compelling railroads to keep fresh water on trains, requiring a li cense to practice medicine and forbid ding the issuing of boguu diplomas by medical colleges. He told them of their duty to look Into the various depart ments of the county government and see that they ere being run properly. Te Select Ormond’s Successor. Tho Jury was told to select u succes sor of the Into Walter T. Ormond, no tary public and Justice of the peace, and two members of the county school board, in the selection of the 1st ter he advised the jurors to see, so far aa possible, that all parts of the county were represented on the board. The grand Jury selected Colonel A. J. West as foreman. The other mem bers are J. B. Nutting, John M. Green, r. J. Paxon, Alonso Richardson, James M. i'oupcr, Ernest Woodruff, Albert Steiner, \V. H.

The hotels and restaurants of the city have made ample preparations te attend to the entertainment of the del- egatee, but no stress is expected unde, this head, as many of the members ot the convention will come Into the city In the morning and leave on the lata afternoon trains for their homes. There will not even be a quarrel over the personnel of the officers of the ^m ventlon, as all this has been settled la advance. Judge Miller Will be Chairman. The chairman of the convention and the state executive committee will be Judge A. L. Miller, wltt^ Congressman T. W. Hardwick as vies chairman. Messrs. H. H. Cabanlss and E. L. Mar tin will be the secretaries. Tha news of the day Is the selection of James B. Gray an chairman of the committee on resolutions and platform. As Mr. Gray Is very pronounced In hie views on certain matters, some very plain statements can be expected. It is generally thought that the plank, on disfranchisement, railroad control, and popular government will be v.7 strong. May Adopt 8. C. Plan. It is intimated that the South Car olina plan of nominating all officers by a direct vote of the people will be adopted and that the Macon conven tion will bo the last one of any Impor tance held In this state.

WILL WORK CONVICTS ON COUNTY ROADS Hpectnt tn The (iKMrglnti Bainbrldge, 04, Sept. 2.—The coun ty commissioners have deemed it ad visable to work the county convicts on the public roads, Instead of hiring them out lo private parties, as has been done fo^ some time. The county convicts at present are worked by Hodges tt Powell, turpentine operators, at ,'yrene. They will continue to work the women and children, but beginning Monday the men will be worked on the public roods. The scarcity of labor In the county was tile occasion for thla action on the part of the commissioner,.. It Is thought tha, the road work will be carried on much faster than It bss been with the convict labor.
