It I. a matter of plea.ure for The Oeorctan to be able heartily to join In the general welcome given to Uncle Remua’ Magazine, announcement of which haa ju.t been made. The magazine Iz projected along he roic lines, and has set for Itself a standard which, If maintained, assures Its auccess. Its motto Is “typical of the South, of Interest to the Niy-th, national In ' scope." The most nnlky can find no fault with that. In considering the new venture, the mind naturally hearkens back to the many Southern magazines of the past, which early succumbed to the grim reaper. They all languished and passed away from pretty much the same cause.—lack of money and narrowness of scope. The names of a dozen of Atlanta’s most prominent figures In the financial world In the directorate of the publishing company and the fact that Joel Chandler Harris |a to be active editor, seem to remove at the start the old menace from this new project. Looked at from the material stand point, the new magazine Is welcomed by Atlantans because It will mark n great advance by the city in a new direction. From tho perspective of the read ing public it will be welcomed, because It promises something new and of de cided class In tha mata of literature and near-llterature of the day.

Darrett, president of the Farmers* Union, makes against Harvle Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Xlfociatloti, and they are not lotie lightly dismissed as public airing of^a private quarrel or extension of the ca^aethes .s-ribendl now epidemic. The burden uf Mr. Barrett’* card can hardly bo called an Insinuation or Innuendo. ’ As president of the Farmers' Union he makes flat, direct, unequivocal charge of a ‘‘Wall street annex established by Mr. Jordan,” president of the Sofi’.hern Cotton Association. Following this up, he says: ”Le«t what I say be regarded as vague—and I am a man who speaks by direct methods, and who endeavors to conceal nothing—let me say that whan l refer to Mr. Jordan* Wall street annex, 1 but give utterance to the protect of„thqusands of farmers throughout the South at his constant Inter course with some of the prominent siieculators of Wall atreet—men who are known to be perfectly conscienceless when It comes to dealing with any body who has anything tirseli. Who, for' Instance, would think of Joe Hoadley as belng a farmers’ Moses? And yet backward and forward Mr. Jordan has gons between Atlanta and Mr. Hoadley* luxurious New York office, was gorgeously entertained recehtly, I understand, on Mr. Headley’s $3,000,000 yacht on an Atlantic cruise, and then comes back, still damp with the ocean mists, just In time to announce that the reports of the gulf storm had been greatly exaggerated and that this year* cotton crop wouhj. be the SECOND largest In the history of the South.” i The directness of this allegation demands an equally straightforward statement from President Jordan. / For the frleOfshlp of Mcears. Jordan and Joe Hoadley haa for a year bean a matter of much comment In the cotton exchanges of the country. For Instance-! i The following cotton letters were Issued' I4lt winter by One of the lead ing brokerage houses of the New York Exchange, being telegraphed all over the country for the Information of speculators: DAILY COTTON.LETTER. New York, N. Y„ December 7, 1803. Business Is at a practical standstill, pending the Issuance of the census, which la likely to be In the neighborhood of eight and one-half millions ginned. ..We doubt'If It will have more than tamporary effect cither way, as this is but the census department* effort to count the bales of a crop, ihs total of which we all feel certain will not exceed ten and a quarter mil lion bales. While the market hesitates, awgltlng this report, it Is great satisfaction to feel assured that the work Is being scientifically done- and no amount of graft or influence can affect It. Many people .distrust the market because of Hoadley* conspicuous as sociation with It. He Is making the most of his alleged friendship for Pres ident Jordan, and the latter gentleman Is Injuring a great cause by not' denying the report of his, frequent conferences with this notorious person. ' DAILY COTTON LETTER. New York. N. Y„ December II, 1005. It Is easy to comprehend the position of Hoadley In the cotton market, but no thinking man can approve of Mr. Harvle Jordan* association with a notorious speculator, simply because he apparently and for the time be ing favors higher prices for cotton. ,\jr. Jordan Is supposed to represent tHe Intelligence and. determination of the cotton planter. The country looks to him to Stand for and defend the highest alms and purposes of the 8outh, and he weakens a great cause by making any speculator his confidant and spokesman. Nothing could have transpired to so destroy confidence In the cotton market as the recent proceedings of the president of the Southern Cotton Association. During the past two days there has Seen a fair liquidation of long ac counts and the market has a better tone, notwithstanding the decline, and had the buying been under leadership In which the trade had confidence, we would not have relapsed Into the present dullness. As It Is, however, from the superficial Influences the market In the end will respond to the condi tions which are apparent lo every one who thinks for himself. TELEGRAPHIC NOTE. New York, February Jl. The people whom Harvle Jordan announced as the backbone of the un> derwrltlng syndicate are doing the liquidating this morning. So ends an other piece of folly. It would appear that the speculative market felt a more than specula- tlve Interest in the friendship of President Jordan and Mr. Hoadley! 1 The members oFthe Southern Cotton Association and those of the South who regard the welfare of the association aa a matter of vital Im portance to them will await President Jordan* 'explanation or statement with keen Interest.

A light at Mercer University between fraternity men and those denominated ’’barbarians'’ In the undergraduate vernacular calls attention again to the problem that has for many years been perplexing college presidents and col lege trustee^ of the country. The Oreek tetter fraternity Is an established fact. Hence, It will require much theory In Hie shape of strong argument to overjhrow It ^a an Insti tution. There she; speaking roughly, fifty big national fraternities drawing their active membership from tha stu dent body of the leading universities and colleges of the country. Nearly alt of them have been In existence more than 35 years. Their me,mbera, active and graduate, are conspicuously loyal to their fraternity, and all the Oreek letter men—though they aa bodies have their rivalries and quarrels among themselves—unite In a common cause when any attack Is made on the exist, enca of the fraternity. Agitation against the^fraternlty has never rescind an acute etage In the colleges of Georgia, and at present the Oreek letter societies are flourishing at the State University at Athens, at Emory,-at Mercer, at Tech and at the Dahlonega school. Yet there le In at least four of these colleges an orgaht- atlon of the non-fraternity men, cer tainly for purpose of lighting the fra ternities In college politics and possi bly for the purpose of making for the abolltlon'or the ”frat" system. Fraternity men argue that their or ganisations are baaed on. the highest Ideals of morality and manhood: that they bring the 1 chosen few together In society that la of pleasure and of prollt; that the affiliation acconipllshea a result that would otherwise be eoughl hopelessly by the college president. In bringing the younger—and naturally rather Inclined to be wayward—stu dents under the Influence of the older and steadier men. That there la much strength In this last argument none who haa aver known college life can doubt, a rare exception appearing no* and then In which the older members have had corrupting Influence. Against the fraternity system Is brought the one potent argument of undemocratic exctuslveneas. The fra ternity men naturally re-ly that there can be no society without exclusive ness. However, their opponents argue that the system leads to snobbishness, superciliousness, aelflshnes- and fre quent adherence to Wives that are opposed to the Interest of the student body a* a whole. They maintain that the vernacular Itself snow* the spirit of the Institution In terming the socie ty men "Greeks" and all others "bnr. barlana." And In every college the ratio Is at least one fraternity man to three "non-frat" men. Yet there never was a good that was wholly good. It must always be con sidered a matter <jf relativity. And In maintaining the fraternity systems the universities have deter mined that the general good resulting outweighs the evils. There Is one feature In the system that seems to require changing, how. ever. Under the scheme as It Is now new fraternity men are aelected Immediate, ly upon the opening of college each year, and frequently tjiey are elected and "pledged” even before they enter college. In thla way many students of character and ability, men who deserve to be fraternity men and men who feel throughout their college course the slight, are because of slight uncouth- ness of appearance, perhaps, or of a retiring disposition nr of n lack of prepossessing superficiality not elected members. And It seems to be a general custom that no man, unasktd by a fraternity during the "rushing senson." shall be elected later, even though he haa demonstrated his worth and de sirability.' JTor the sake of ieternal fairness and In order the better to realise their own Ideals, the fraternities should change their arbitrary manner of electing new members and make achievement in the college world the criterion of qualifies, tlon. New Rules Make Good. Football comment on tide page may seem to be rather an Intrusion into tha peculiar province of the sporting edi tor, hut the "debrutallxatlon" of the sport has become a national question along with fonetlk retawrm. frenzied finance, the future of Cuba and'’Rill Taft. The Arst thorough teat of the efficacy of the new rules occurred Saturday, w hen Princeton and Cornell, two of the so-called Big Six of American athlet ics. met at New York. Concerning the game and the working of the reno vated rules, the football critic of The New York Sun says: “The 30.000 persons who hemmed In the gridiron saw the first real big game under the new rules, and to them It was clearly demonstrated that the rear was groundless that the new rules with strong, evenly matched elevens battling would reduce scoring to a minimum. Not only was the scoring up to the average, but the changing phases of football as encouraged by the 1$0* code dovetailed the old and the new smooth ly in.good ratio anil with sharply de fined distinctions, keeping Interest al ways on edge, shifting the battle hither and thither and yet not making science and well-defined policy subservient to luck and chance. “A premium was put on vigilance and resourcefulness, yet team work and unity of aqtlon did not go unrewarded. In short, there was gre&ter variety than In big games of previous years, the ball was exposed to tht stands a great deal by the open play and the better team won by a natural margin. This test the new rules survived. ’Why,’ wrts the comment of a close observer, this game Is like baseball; they throw the ball around so much.’ ” It would nppear from this that the national rules committee Is to be con gratulated on the success of Its re form. Football la ao great a aport and has power to do so much good In the mak ing of stalwart and aggressive young manhood that It would be a pity for It to be sacrificed because of tendency- to- ward brutality and extreme haxnrd of life and limb. It Is well that the rules have been so rectified. . Marietta Failed To Vote. Although the vote for municipal wa terworks bonds wns 350 for and 20 against In the election at Marietta Sat urday, the bond Issue was -defeated by failure of the affirmative vote to reach two-thirds of the total registration. The registration was $73, and only 270 votes were caat.

THOMAS B. GREGOr. (. JOHN MARSHALL John Marshall, the great chief Jus tice, was born In Germantown, Vir ginia, in the year 1755. As x a very young man he was a sur veyor,, and before he had-reached hla majority he was a lieutenant In the Continental army, where he did ullant sam-Us lew at.. constant clash,, Marshall Inclining to Centralism, while Jefferson was the uncompromising champion of “State Rights.” Rut whatever his theories of the con stitution may have been, John Marshall was, in the truest sense of the word, a Democrat. It was said of him that “the chief Justice of the United States never ceased to be plain John Marshall." In his dress. In his manners. In the frame and temper of his mind, Mar shall was thoroughly of and with the people. Judge Story says, of the mode of lire of the judges: "Wo take no part In .... Washington society.

Joel t'handler Harris, affectionately known throughout all the’land as "Un cle Remus,” has Just performed the al most* unheard-of act of appearing at a public reception In Atlanta and shak ing hands with "hla many frlendi.” No man lives that loves the quiet and peace of the restful home like "Uncle Remus.” He Is ns shy as any girl. In deed, but two other Instances of his public appearance are' on record: one when he dined with a party of friends nt a neighbor's, "once upon a time," and again when he donned his recep tion clothes to meet Mr*. Roosevelt, when she and the president were last In Atlanta. Unless historical data be at fault and records not faithfully kept, these two Instances alone constitute the entire sum and substance of "Un cle Remus' ” social ventures. No wonder The Atlanta Constitution thought the third event of sufficient Importance lo give It double volumu failed—balked by the Incorruptible In tegrity nnd great good sense of the Virginian! . When Marshall got back to New York he was given one of the grandest receptions ever known up to that time, and then was heard, for the first time, the historic slogan, "Millions for de fence, but not a cent for tribute!" In 1709, at the special request of Washington, Marshall ran for congress and was elected, and In 1*02 he was appointed to the high office of chief Justice of the United States by Mr. Adams. This exalted place Marshall tilled for 35 years. As chief Justice h# may b# said to have created the spirit of. na tionality. He firmly believed In the nation, end In the constitution as Its "fundamental law.” Between Marshall and hla Illustrious fallow Virginian, Jefferson, there was a discuss together the questions that are argued before us.

When asked later on In the day what he Imd been about In the morning, he replied: "I suppose It Is not convenient for Mr. Cook to keep a servant, so I make up my own flres." No man ever questioned Marshall's Integrity. His unsophisticated good ness awed all men. As Is well known, Marshall presided at the famous Aaron Burr trial. In which we have a striking demonstra tion of the absolute Integrity nnd Jus tice of Marshall's character.
