OUR PL A TFOR M.—The Georgian stands for Atlanta's owning Its own gas and electric light plants, as It now owns Its waterworks. Other cities do tb|s and get gas as low as 60 cents, with a profit to the city. This should Tbe Georgian be- as they are. there Is no good reason why they cannot be to operated here. But we do not believe tula can tie-done now. and It may be some yearn before we are ready for an big an un dertaking. Still Atlanta should set its - face In tbit direction NOW. WHY THE COTTON ESTIMATES? The lime is ripe for the farmer* of the South to protest vigorously against | the action of the agricultural department of the United States government In officially Issuing literature which Is too frequently In the interest of that {speculative element known as “the-Man”—that la, those persona who devote i their entire time to depressing the price of cotton. That the government la devoting much valuable time and Incurring great expense In gathering Information for others than tbe producers la not to be questioned. And to the people directly interested this Information (not In frequently. misinformation) Is worthless. In fact, the documents Issued on the Condition of crops, acreage, glnnera' reports, semi-monthly reports and estimates of the amount of the crop, are all rank guesses and are of benefit only to tbe speculator and should be without any Influence in fixing the course of prices for the commodity Itself. As a basis on which to figure the crop they are a handy ski of figures for the expert statistician lo show the world of consumers that a crop in excess of the total requirements has been raised. Consequently, the consumer fan at once begin a hand-to-mouth policy in purchasing his supply. Mr. Ellison, the English statistician, estimates the world's requirements or American cotton at 12,jon.000 bales. It happens that he occasionally un derestimates consumption, nut. by the possession of facts, from which fixed deductions may he drawn, his estimate always has that quality of approxi mate exactness which gives It real value. The estimate of requirement Is Issued by a private cltlxcn; the other Is backed up by the government. The methods employed by these two authorities differ considerably, In that one has a greater amount of actual data on which to base an estimate. In other words, the amount of consumption up to any date desired Is easily obtainable. Orders are hooked ahead In all Ihe consuming countries of the world, flgurea for which are available, and there Is no let-up In the demand for the product of the mills—which Items are considerable factors In making an estimate of the world's requirements. - The government has the amount of cotton brought Into sight al any given dale for estimating the fleld of cotton for one whole season. There are no means by which an individual or an official department may accurately name the exact number of bales that will be brought Into sight—that Is. marketed—from the date used as n basis of estimation to the end of the season. Neither can the number of bales bold off the market be accurately name. Accuracy ends, In these estimates, at the amount brought Into sight at any given date. Any elaboration of this fact In the shape of an attempt to estimate the entire crop Is merely a bit of guess work. Then why should the government estimate? What master docs the estimator for the* government serve? Certainly not the farmer.

At this time when the trouble be tween the French government and the holy Roman church holds the attention of the entire world. It is particularly Interesting to read the calm, dispas sionate and scholarly presentation of the Issues and (he causes by the Rev. John K. Gunn. 8. M., which appeared In Wednesday's Georgian. Father Gunn traced the beginning of the trouble from the time of the French revolution, and gave elenr In sight into many of the intricate legal and political complications.

I.ast Sunday, front every pulpit in Atlanta, there was preached a ser mon against crime and mob violence. The voice of every minister In tho city, white or black, was raised In the cause of law and order. In the name of Hlrtl, who is l>aw, man was urged lo honor and obey the mandates of that Institution of all human Institutions which most neatly Is divine. That day may be Justly regarded as one of tho most important In At lanta's history. It marked the beginning of a terribly serious nttepipt to al leviate the peril of increasing crime and lawlessness in this city. It was one of the Aral steps taken by the ministers of Atlanta, acting In co-opera tion with the officers of the Business Men's Gospel Union, in an effort lo readjust tho relations of the races at the South. The Georgian Wednesday afternoon printed excerpts from a number of tho sermons delivered last Sunday. As former Governor W. .1. Northern president of the Business Men's Gospel I'ltion. says in Ills preface lo the printing of these extracts, "the appeals set out In the excerpts, taken from the sermons delivered, are necessarily limited, but they constitute an earnest, strong effort made in God's name and for the sake of humanity, that we may have security in our homes, law and order in Ihe community and n civilisation worthy of tho great trusts that have been comtnittcd to UR.” Thu Ueorgiuu thin HfUmioun prints pails of several more of the ser mons delivered, am] will continue to do so each day until extracts from the utterances r*f every one of Aflnntu’fl ministers will have apiieured. The subject Is one Glut vitally Interests every one; and It Is the'duty of etei- t : citizen, white and black, to read what these men of God have to say. were charged with murdering County Policeman ,1. I,. Head in the Septem- i her riot. We call attention to this bemuse the assertion Is so frequently ntndc nt the j North that juatice tor the negro is n j rare thing nt the South. It is gcucral- 1 ly charged that where feeling runs j high because of some crime commit- ; ted, the negro has no chance for a : square deal. There could be no crime which could arouse the feeling of reputable . citizens more than that w hich caused 1 the death of Officer Heard, who died ! in the discharge of his duty, for the aake of our homes. But the evidence against the four , negroes on trial was not sufficient to I justify the charge of murder, and ; without regard to the jury's own feel- ■ ln« of destro tu bring to account the j slayers of Officer Heard, these negroes wore given their freedom. It was just an exemplification of the : fact that there Is justice for the negro ' in the South. The Jury which heard the case was ! composed of twelve of the lead fug clt- i Isons of Atlanta; their verdict was a • reflex of the best sentiment of this city—a high regard for law and or der and justice.

K. I la i ton propounds a few ques- thins to “observant readers.'* Among others Is this: "Why are the Hand •ban always on the left Imnk? If Mr. Half on will take a fJlyde steamer at Jacksonville. Hit, hound seaward, he will observ eral miles Ihe steamer closely hugs the left hank, because of u bar that projects u half mile or more from the right Imnk, rendering the water too shallow for vessels of deep, or even shallow draft. If Mr. Hal ton will take a river steam er nt Cairo, III., for New Orleans, li will note that the bars alternate with almost unbroken regularity. Home- times the river seems undecided upon which bank to throw the bar. and compromises by throwing It In the mid dle. Our paternul government takes those middle bars, and some others. In hand, and by driving piles and inter weaving mattresses of willow, coniines the flow of water In a narrower chan nel. Primarily, this routining u the waters has the effect of “scouring" a deeper channel; but It has u further effect of changing the course of the v of water for many miles, and till* changing of the course of Hie flow is followed by a shitting of the bars. The Missouri river not only shifts its hare, but sometimes lops off a few -town ships of Inhabited valleys and shifts them Into an adjoining state—or at leust the farmer who thus finds him self shifted Is undecided as to wheth- he should vote for Roosevelt on the left bank or/or Bryan on the right. 'itr. Barton further asks: When streams flow together and form a third, why doe* the water from the left-hand stream always flow over that of the right-hand, or vice versa, tho water from the right-hand stream flow under?” If Mr. Uartoit will come out of the mouth of the Missouri liver and cross over to the left hank of the Mississippi, he may lido down the Illinois side for twenty miles or more on the transp With the Exchanges.

Terrell, chief executive of the state of Georgia, was handed Wednesday aft ernoon. And the fruit was presented right In the big domed building where the chief executive has bis offices. This lemon came in the shape of a decision of the board of trustee* of .the. Girls* Normal and Industrial School of Mllledgevllle to name the new dormi tory to he erected,'Lamar Hall Instead of Terrell Hall. And behind this de clalon there Is a little story. • Some time ago there was a meeting of this board and at that time Dr. Tig- nor. of Greenville, moved that the new hall be named In honor of Governor Terrell. The plan received a check at that time and action In the matter was postponed. Ho when the trustees met in the cap- Itol Wednesday afternoon to accept plans for the new' dormitory, the ques tlon of naming the .structure came up. Again Dr. Tlgnor moved that the building Ik* named Terrell Hall. Rut before be made this motion James 31 Dupree, of Montexuma, also a member of the beard, moved that the buildiBW be named Lamar Hall in honor of Rich ard N. Lamar, another member of the board. Dr. Tlgnor made his motion in tho nature of a substitute and to postpone action, Colonel Atkinson, of Mew-nan, moved as n substitute for the whole that action be deferred. Then came the lemon handing proc ess. The substitute for the whole was lost. Ho was the rubstitute naming the hall for Governor Terrell and the original motion naming It after Rich ard N. Lamar, a member of the board, prevailed. This was possible because Mr. Lamar voted for the motion naming the hall after himself. The governor got the lemon instead of the honor. All during the voting the vote stood three to two. Chairman R. E. Green, of Gainesville; James M. Dupree, of Mon tezuma. and Richard N. Lamar voting for the Latnar Hall proposition, while Dr. Tlgnor and Colonel Atkinson want ed It named after tho governor,. It will be recalled that the la*t leg islature appropriated $27,500 for the erection of a new dormitory at the school. The board met Wednesday aft- ernoon to look over the plans and bids, and those of J. W. Go!ueke & Co., of Atlanta, were accepted, the specifica tion being that the hall must not cost more than ihe amount of money ap propriated. r:ut It won’t be named' after Governor Tctrell. AMERICAN EDITOR CAUSES RUMPUS Alexandria. Egypt. Dec. 13.—>For some time a series of most scurrilous and libellous attacks on Lord Cromer and the British authorities have been running In a local paper conducted by an American citizen. These attacks have been so grossly disgraceful that the United States con sul general, Mr. Iddfnge, has been ex changing dispatches lately with th^ secretary of state relative to the pow ers he possesses for the expulsion of Americans from Egypt, that Measure being demanded bynonest public opin- Ion to stop the scandals. The secretary replied that It was im possible to expel a citlsen who attacks officials of another power unless the aggravated parties lodge a sworn com plaint with the American representa tive, who is then bound to take legal steps. The action of Lord Cromer Is awaited with Interest.

It Is alleged that gross discrimina tions have been practiced In this re spect. many concerns being forced to discontinue business because of Inabil ity to obtain cars for the shipment of their products. When Judge S. W. Cowan, of Texas, who has taken a deep Interest In rate legislation, visited the president with the draft of such a bill, the president strongly indorsed the proposition.
