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 1 generosity. | There Isn't a thing In the Incident.

Us.. oodsr set d caagmss at Stank 1 in Our Cotton Exports. In a newer and more eubetantlal sense than we have ever realized bkfore. Cotton Is king, and the people of this country are paying willing tribute to the royal sta ple. The balance of trade In our favor ha* been 'dwelt upon time and time again. It amouuta.to something like halt a billion dollars, which is so much money that the average mind cannot even comprehend It But It may come aa something of a surprise to most paofila to rsat- Ise that the amount which our exporta of cotton contrib ute to thla balance of trade Is, for the first time In our history, more than $(00,000,000. When we reflect that the value of our breadatuffs of all kinds exported for the fiscal year Juat ended waa only $186,000,000, those of provisions only $811,000,000 and those of Iron and steel manufactures only $161,000,000, we get something of an Idea of the pre-eminence of King Cotton In the magnlflcsnt export trade of the country. According to the report of the department of com merce and labor, the value of cotton exported baa In creased very rapidly during the past few years. It was not until 1901 that It crossed the $300,000,000 line, and in a short five years period It has grown to more than $400,000,000, or aa Incrtasa of about 33 per cant Thla growth la due In part to an Increase In the quan tity exported, but In part also to the advance In price, tlnco the quantity exported In 1906 waa about 700,000,000 pounds leu than In 1906, while the value waa $31,000,000 more than in 1909. The exportation of manufactured cotton waa also taiger In 190$ than In any earlier year, aggregating prac tically $93,000,000, against $60,000,000 In 1905 and *2$,- 900,000 In 1904, The growth In manufactured cotton has been quite aa striking as that t»f raw'materlal. Europe la, of course, our principal customer for raw cotton. The United Kingdom took last year $117,000,000 worth, Germany $101,000,000, Prance $46,000,000 and Italy about $27,090,000, while the other countries Of Europe took about $32,000,000 worth. Jupan la also a customer tor our rnw cotton, but very Irregular In tho quantity bought, since she only buys largely of American cotton whea price* are low. relying upon India and China In years when American piicoa are high. The value of cot ton exported to Japan In the flacnl year 1900 waa, in round terms. $8,000,000; in 1906, $17,000,000, and tn 1904, leas than $8,000,000. In manufactured cotton China is by far our largest customer. The total value of all cotton manufactures ax- ported In the fiscal year 1900 Was. aa above Indicated, $53,000,000 In round terras, of which about $30,000,000 went to China. Practically all of the cotton goods sent to China waa In the form of doth. the. total value of cot ton cloths exported to China to tho year being $29,641,- 168, and of other cotton good* $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, the value tn 1906 being about two million dollar* greater than In 1906. China's rank as a purchaser of American cottons Is Indicated by the faet that of tho 711.000.000 yards of cotton cloths exported In 1906. 498,000,000 wont to China, while about 133,009,000 yard* went to the American countries south of the United State*, and twenty-five millions to Asia other than China and Oceania. - The Day We Celebrate. Thla Is the annual festival devoted to the cause of labor. There are many occasion* which bring out a greater amount of pin wheels and red fire, but there are few which more distinctly reflect the aturdy grand eur of the American republic than thla peculiar day which la devoted to the cause of bon* and sinew. It has become altogether too much the (aablou 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 sybaritoa and the Idlers have dwelt upon the fall of Father Adam as entailing a curse upon mankind. Bat In point of fact It would be dIOoult to realise bow we ever could have got on with out that exercise of thew and sinew which that same 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 tho world. It Is natural and gratifying to nltude to tha fact which aclen- tlats have brought out that the lifting of the little P.ntrpr literally shakes the world, and that hence no Jabot', In whatever channel it may be directed, le entirely lost.

Atlanta Men Invite Bryan to Oatrfil* *atr. • Special Dispatch to Th* Journal, i Saw York. Aug 31.—Willi* m .1 Bryan waa formally Uivtted to <’Utnd tn* Georgia fate fair tn Ootobar by a committee of AtlaniaifS headed b,v President Alas W. Baton Thursday a tier noon. The otbar member* of the committee preicnt at the In terview with Mr, nryan were John Temple Grave*, 'Mayor Woodward, John S. Cohan, Kym McCullough, Joseph E. Maddox and others. Mr, Bryan said he would he glad to some to At lanta In September, but was afraid he could not oome lu October. He promised, however, to take the matter under consideration, nnd President Smith I* quits hopeful Bryan will finally nrrapt. It was with great dlfilcutty that an oudlenaw was ar ranged, but Mr. Smith [moled latmee with Governor Jelke. of Alabama, and Governor Glenn, of North Carolina, and the Joint Invitation waa extended to vifit the three states during October. The pressure am Mr. Ilr.van to accept le strong and the matter will agala be presaa-al to hla naitlce. Thla I* a special dispatch from New York to The At lanta Journal. Thai Journal's special representative In New York on that occasion was tla managing editor. He and be atone waa personally acquainted with the loci- dents of the Invitation to Br.vnn from Atlanta. The in ference Is conclusive that he aent It. Tbs mutter Is trivial, but the spirit manifested to the flit-patch to ao curious and suggestive that wo eannqj for bear explaining It. Tha editor of The Georgian without his foreknowl edge or request was made chairman of the Georgia dele gation to receive Bryan and to present to him the Invita tion to the fair. The editor of The Georgius Immediately suggested that he should Introduce lo Mr. Bryan Prosl- dent Max W- Smith, of the fair association, and that Mr. Smith should present the Invitation. Mr. Smith promptly declined and urged that the chairman of the delegation should present it, which wu* algo urged by the commit tee and agreed npon. In the sudden whirl or Mr. Bryuu's arrival and th* Mtonnou* crowd pressing upon him lbs Georgia dele gation became separated and only the editor of The OaoigUn, Mr. Smith and the managing editor of The Journal were able to get together. The managing editor uf The Journal to perfectly aware of the fact that during that tons hard push against the crowding aisles and cor ridors, tha editor of The Georgian fulfilled hi* commission gt great personal discomfort—that ibe editor of The Geor gian atone arranged the combination with Governor Glenn, of North Carolina, and Governor Jelka. of A la- hams. by whleh the three managed to almost force an eedtoare with Mr. Dryan. end that th* editor ot The Georgian himself, with Mr. Smith and the managing ed itor of The Journal Jpat behind him. did present the tovKatkm »nd bold the conference In behalf of the At- lasts fair. And yet In the face of personal knowledge of these l«c4* "Tito Journal'* Special Correspondent," writing to nil work to the same great end and Illustrate to the world that labor, tike beauty, to Its own excuse for being Its own excellent reward- To tho loss recondite It Is Interesting to realize that the great cause which this holiday celebrates Is progress ing all over the world. The most conservative of men are rapidly sloughing off the ophidian opinion that organ ized labor moans antogontom to the established Institu tions which capital contributes so much to support We honestly and frankly believe that tho time to pasting when the man who Identiflos himself with th* cause of labor, th* man who' believes In and contends for tbe principle of employers' liability, for shorter hour* and a more wholesome environment wherever bo may work, must at the same time bo Identified with th* followers of Karl Marx and his school of socialism. And those who look forward hopefully to the achieve ments of organised labor are glad to realise that the civilised world recognises more and more, as the years go by, that the labor sentiment has come to stay. What It has achievod In our own country Is patent and apparent to all men, and Its Iron hand In tbe velvet glove was felt In the last session ot the fifty-ninth congress. It will make Itself evon more manifest In the second sestlon of that congress and In future aisemblages. It to no more than the simple truth to aay that no single movement In the world politics of recent times baa attracted more attention,' and has more Justly at tracted th* attention It ha* received, than th* rocognl tlon accorded to th* cause ot labor In England. We aro a greater and tn many respects a more progressiva peo ple than our English cousins across the sea, but tbe fact remains that whatever tendency may be manifested in their own Institutions to reflected In the growth and prog ress of our own. And what has been tbe hlatory of the labor move ment In England within the past fair years? We find Mr. John Burns with a position In the cabi net of the liberal goveroment. He baa been In parlia ment for a long time, but even twenty years ago It would not have been believed, If any one had said that a man who had so daoldcdly sprang from the common people'aa did John Burns would orer attain to th* eminence and Importance no now enjoy*. It Is trivial, and yet It • Is Illuminating, tost • tew weeks ago, at a levee hold by tho King of England, • feminine member of the aristocracy meeting Mr*. Burns decided that It was tho proper thing. In vlaw of the pres ent political tendencies, to show soma apodal considera tion for the wife of tbe groat labor loader In parNnmont, whereupon ahe Indited a dainty little billet doux to Mrs. Burn* saying; ‘-'It Is so fsr from Belgravia to Bayswater that I have never hod tbs opportunity of calling npon you. bat If you krill net-apt an Invitation to he present at my 6 o’clnah ten on Tuesday afternoon, I shall bs happy to see yon. To this polite missive Mrs. Burns sept the suoduct slid highly slgalficant reply: "I have been looking at the map ot Ignition and f find that It to exactly thq same dlatance from Belgravia to Bsyawatcr Hint It Is from Rnyswater to Belgravia.” This spirited reply on the part of Mrs. Burns bo* placed her In a new light before tbe court ladle* and tbe snobbish aristocracy of England. It to entirely o* a par with the new dignity and Importance which the labor element has Required In politic* and in economies. It wus almost s revolution when the It be rail earn* Into power after a long period of «xlle and was paralleled only by our own Democracy. But undoubtedly the most notable Incident of the landslide was the tact that for th* first time In English parliamentary history the cause of tubur acquired the balance of power, nils Is really true, for there, among the representatives ot the third estate, sit fifty members who are chosen without regard to their conservative or Ihttir liberdl predilections, but solely lw cause of their devotion to the Interests of labor. He who overlooks tho same tendency In our own political situation gravely and seriously misreads the signs ot tha times. As we have said before, the time has I (a teed when the cause of labor Is Identified, even la the minds of the must superficial, with socialism nud that rad icalism which finds support front bo many political here tic*. So long a* the cause of tabor remains pure In Its purpose and lofty In Its alliances, having no ulterior mo tives except that of the laboring people, holding Itself aloof from Republican* and Populist* *ad Socialists and' even from Democrats, If need be, ever ready to throw Its strength with the party which prearias* stoat effectively to bring about the reforms which the time demands—so long will the cause of labor remain a powerful factor la our political and economic life. The exemplar* of it* interests «sd of Ha purposes here tn Atlanta are men of the highest type of sblitty and Integrity. No man could Impugn tbe Ugh purposes Which ani mate them lu whatever they tuuy undertake, sad it hi GOOD ROADS PARAMOUNT. To tbe Editor of The Georgian: In 1870 Atlanta numbered the fifty-ninth city of the United Stater. In the census bulletin of the Wash ington government for 1904 sh# to numbered forty, a Nevt Orleans and Louisville each six; Norfolk eight. Other southern cities have .dropped back 42. 51 find 61 places, but It would be unkind to name them. The cities of the United States which have made tho most progress are those which have enlarged their area*. Issued large amounts of Improvement bonds, constructed parks and boulevards, extended tbelr public works and made themselves attractive to the outsiders. If a city depends only upon Its birth rate to make It great. It will not succeed. 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 and poor. I In New York—the largest city In the United States—Interest rales are low and wages are high. In. small and ttnprogrpssive cities the Interest charges are high—so are taxes—and wages are low. The many, many advantages of living tu a big city are being so well understood by laboring peo ple that country help Is a scarcity. Unless a country to opened up by first class roads having easy transporta tion to and from the city Its primitive condition will be s millstone about Its neck. Good roud$! Good roads! Good roads!

Havana, Sept. $.—aegerel Cebrecc; representing the Cubes veterans, has bad s tong talk with President Palms wMh a view of arbitrating ths differ- encea between the government and the Is. President Palms told the gen eral that the veteran* were welcome to confer with the rebels and persuade them to lay down their arms. In which sue they would be free to leave the country or return unmolested to their homes by virtu* o| the recent offer of amnesty. But.' he added. If Jhe vet erans took Ibis course; they would set only a* private citizens. When General Cebreco left the palace i met General Mico. the chief dis bursing oihcer of the army of llbera- UOe, Wh<x o* seeing t'ebreco's dow ncast hes said: "Didn't I tell you that the old man would net Bates even for the country’s asks?' General t'ebrecn answered sadly: "You were right." This kills the last hope of an amica ble settlement of the recent troubles and probably will cost the government th* sympathy of vets. General Mico, who was one of th* most prominent generals In the war of liberation, succeeding Maceo when the latter was killed, said: "Tb# govern ment's act In not recognizing the vet erans Is apparent. Cubans such as sre. 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 officer* bettor, but they are not the me* who fought In th* war for Independence. I could take a few ne groes and defy all tbe furee* th* guv. eminent can ralee." General Cebreco said, after- leaving th* palace, that he dreaded the task of telllag the veterans the snss-er be re ceived from President Palms. It was learned today from a source ordinarily so reliable as to be believed by all that the government had achiev ed a tentative understanding that If It was unabls to curb th* revolution by September 16, It would ask for the as sistance of the United States, but when this was broached t* members of th* government It wi "A man must labor enough to keep a good full stomach. A vagrant is a person who does not. when be could, inako enough to support himself through Ills own efforts. If a man can make a dnl- lar and g 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 mote likely to commit a crime than one who Is well If n man works only one day in seven he should be mad* to stay at home the other six. There Is nothin- so conducive to crime ns Idleness, nnd It Is your duty to break It up so far as in your power tics." This 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. |le told the Ju rors that they should magnify their office, which, he said, was equal in Im portance tn that of the governor of the state. In speaking of the recent appoint ment of a committee to urge upon the grand Jury the rtccrsslty for the en forcement of th* vagrancy laws, Judge Pendleton sold: "So far as I know, there has never ben any failure on tho part of a Fulton county grand Jury to enforce the tow, and come suusrely up lo their duties." "No Excuse for Gaming,” in charging the Jury on gumlng, for which crime he sold there wa* no earthly excuse, the Judge said that, to far aa he knew, and so far as he hud been able to learn from ,the officers of the law, there was not nt present any open gambling establishment In Fulton county, lie said some houses had run for a time on the quiet before bring located, but that as soon as they were found the law hud been enforced and they had been broken up. For this state of affairs, h/e said, >he county was to be congratulated. 'A man who carrtaa a concealed pis tol," said the court In dealing with this portion of bis charge, "will Bad that, even If h* la not ansMsd, he will In the course of a j est's experi eac* have more trouble than if nt left hls weapon at home. His knowledge that he to armed emboldens him to per- hapa pic (j a fight where lie would not do so otherwise.' Judge Pendleton called tha attention of the Jurors to the laws forbidding the selling of liquor to drunkard* and to minors or In to* vicinity of churches, compelling railroad* to keep fresh water on truina, requiring a li cense to practice medlaine and forbid- ding the Issuing of bogus diplomas by medical colleges. He told them of tbelr duly to took Into the various depart ments of th* rouniy government nnd see that they are bring ion properly. To Seltet Ormond's Succtskor.
