A Letter As Viewed From Two Standpoints. in order to show that there are juat as .ignorant cotton mill operatives in New England as tn the South, the Atlanta Con stitution reproduces front the .vlauuiactu rera’ Record the following letter written i>y one of Hie Fall River operatives and addressed to the Record.

The Constitution argues that this letter ds strikingly at variance with the reasons given by New England cotton manufactu rers f-»r not transferring their operations to the South —which is that labor in this section docs not come up to the high star dard of intelligence which characterizes New England operatives. This leads the Constitution to remark that the letter, coming as It docs just at Chis time, is not without its amusing feature.” Amusing, say you? Say, rather, pitiful. Yes, .“id ami pitiful to a degree. Yet it is si letter which is full of meaning and which contains a most powerful lesson. It proves something more than the Con stitution ju/ikes it proVe. It not only proves that there are operatives in New England as ignorant as there in the South, but it proves that both sections have permitted a form of bondage that ab solutely precludes ,’ie improvement of the intellect. If the percentage of intelli gence ami < duration is greater in New England, it is because that section has long since abolished that reic of barba rism—child labor. The writer of the above letter, how ever, was one of the early victims of this sinful law. He has worked in the mill since he was eight years of age; now he is forty. And today writes a letter that any ten year old school boy might feel ashamed of. Now turning forty, and thirty-two years of the time chained to the loom. Is it any wonder that the stan dard of citizenship in certain quarters is no higher when the state permits slavery like this. Fortunately New England has abolish ed child labor and the present generation of factory operatives already show the ef fects of this humane law. The children are sent to school and their early years are thus devoted to cultivating and enrich ing their minds and characters, thereby (fitting them for a higher standard of cit izenship. Here and there, no doubt ’are turned out youths equipped to work out their own emancipation and that of their parets. In either event, it is making of them better operatives, men and women of greater skill and intelligence who can command better pay than the “slave" la bor of former days. But what is thl? case in the South? In ■the matter of labor reform she is where New England was thirty years ago. She tolerates all the forms of slavery that more advanced countries have abolished years ago. Her conscience is just now be ing aroused to the iniquity of child labor, hut the mill owners themselves are work ing to defeat all efforts intended for bringing about the emancipation of these young slaves. Because they can work them for less pay than a grown person requires. What, therefore, is the matter of their education, their health, their happiness, their soul itself. What 5f they remain ignorant, with their ideas and those of their children confined to the narrow sphere in which they now exist. So much the better: they can be the more easily controlled. The Constitution may find Lhe letter above quoted amusing in the conection in which it uses it, but is has another signifi cance, It tells the story of how men and ■women and even little children are made elaves, abject ignorant slaves all through the insatiable greed of their fellow men The Constitution may laugh at that lexer, if it will, but there are reasons why even grown up men can do no better than that One is “I went to work in the mills at eight years of age and I am now turning forty.” The Brunswick Times. Judge Atkinson's home organ, says: “Col. Candler has a powerful ally in the Atlanta Constitution. There is a disposi tion on the part of some papers to sneer at the Constitution because it is so much bigger than they are, but the fact remains that it is one of the most influential papers in the south. Judge Atkinson recognizes this fact.” This is where Sam Jones gets a fight on his hands. The first time he says to some doubtful voter, “Go home, you old flop eared hound, and ask your wife to forgive you for saying you wasn’t gwine to vote for me,” there’s going to be trouble. The stump is not the pulpit, you know. Their War Records. While there is no purpose on the part of ! any one to fnjcrrt the “old soldier" Issue | into the present gubernatorial campaign, it will be admitted that a candidate's war record is a matter of as much consequence, and as much coiled to consideration as any other part of his public service, and If he happens to Lave a good one, so much more is be entitled to the gratitude and votes of thofreople. In this connection, an article in Satur day’s Atlanta Journal furnishes a most in teresting contrast in the “war records” of Allen D. Candler and Spencer R. Atkin son. The latter, evidently thinking he would netd a war record in his campaign for governor, gave his interviewer and biographer tome very thrilling incidents la his life during the “days that tried men’s souls.” We prefer to let the Journal tell the story, however, and we simply reproduce below in parallel columns the war records of the two men, as told by a newspaper that i- giving Judge Atkinson its secret support: , cAN *>LER.

He was running across the field for water for some sick men when he acci dentally stepped on a bed of live coals, and his foot was so severely burned that he was unable to walk for many weeks. It will b? noticed with what deftness the “barefooted boy” incident is woven into Mr. Atkinson’s record. Although Mr. Atkinson was, no doubt, like all other boys, and preferred to go barefooted from choice, the story is so told as to make it appear that he was barefooted on this oc casion solely through a spirit of patriot ism—because Lee’s soldiers were' barefoot ed. Surely, -this is good enough to have a place in our second readers, and boys’ and girls’ story papers. We would like first, however, -to hear from Rev. Mr. Benedict, provided he survived the incident alluded to. Young Spencer Atkinson’s services around the hospital tents on Chickamauga battlefield are also toM of in a most thrilling manner. The inventor of the story was evidently hard put to find a wound or a casualty for Mr. At kinson’s “war record.” But he has ar ranged it beautifully. How to inject any harrowing experiences into the army life of a "water boy” was a problem worthy of the best man who ever essayed to re vamp war records for campaign purposes. But the narrator of the “barefoot, boy" sto ry was fully equal to -the occasion. Young Atkinson’s ‘inclination to go without shoes” evidently gave him an idea. His first plan was to have him stump his toe, fall into bis bucket of water and drown. But. this wouldn’t work for obvious reasons, and a stumped loe wouldn’t appeal to men who, when boys, used to stump their toes through force of habit. So it was decided to let -the heat of battle set the woods on fire, ‘and allow young Atkinson to come "long later with his bars feet and step on a smouldering coal. The only thing lack ing the story, so far as we can see, is a sequel—if it could only be made to appear now, that the candidate limps until this day as a result of his service on the hot field of Chickamauga. he would be equip ped with a war record as tangible as any body’s. In all probability the gentlemen’s private ind public records will compare quite as favorably as -their war records. If the only original Sam is -really in earnest about running for governor, we beg to call his attention to the fact that no evangelistic methods will be permissible. There are some things that are not fair, even in polities and war. Hon. 0. B. Stevens. Hon. 0. B. Stevens, of Terrell county, oa ididate for eommiss-ioner of agriculture, was in Maben today, meeting his old friends and making many new ones. Mr. Stevens has long been in public life, but this is the first time -he has ever entered ■;he broad field of state politics, though re peatedly urged to do so. The progress he is making in his present race fully justi fies the opinions his friends have always entertained cf his ability in this direction. Mr. Stevens entered the race for commis sioner of agriculture on his own hook, free from all combinations and entangling al liances. Ke stands solely on his own mer its and fitness for the place, and these are receiving most gratifying recognition •in every section of the state. Already he has visited many counties, and he is not leav ing any unploughed ground behind him. Os course, a man who has been holding a state office for a number of years becomes belter known—or. at least, his name does —to the general public, than does an op ponent who is seeking that office for the first time: but Mr. Stevens has the faculty of making himself known very rapidly and very favorably when he gets down to work. And it is only a matter of a few weeks when he will be really better known, per sonally to the voters of Georgia than is Mr. Nesbitt. He is. moreover, as well equipped for the place as any man who ever aspired to that office. In the first place, he is one of the finest business men in Southwest Georgia. He came from between the plow handles, and made a success in life where many others would have failed. After doing this he was called into public life by his own people, and he has been quite as successful in politics as in business. Even now he might be occupying a seat in congress had he been willing to sacrifice certain prin ciples to the populistic extremists who con trolled the party in certain sections of the state a few years ago. But he preferred party honor and harmony to the gratification of personal ambition, end so gallantly yielded, and re tired from politics, until called by his people to go to the state senate, of which body he was a conspicuous and able member. Not alone as a business man and a poli 'ician has Mr. Stevens been a success, but it is in the field of agriculture that he finds greatest interest and for which his splen did talents end wonderful energy seem best fitted. He is. by far. the most suc cessful farmer in Southwest Georgia. His success in business gave him the means to buy up some of the old “worn out” planta tions of Terrell. Webster and Randolph counties. AVhere the old time planter had succumbed to free labor and commercial fertilizers. Mr. Stevens used both, but with such good judgment that these “old fields” have yielded him a snug fortune within a few years, and are now even more fertile and productive than ever before. Such is the gentleman who offers for the position cf commissioner of agricul ture. Who can doubt that he is well equip ped to make a winning race, and to fill the position with eminent ability and benefit to the state. The News is pleased to state that Mr. Stevens has met with a most cor dial reception in Macon, and we think we are safe in predicting that he will carry this county without much trouble. If Spencer R. Atkinson is elected gov ernor he will be the first Brunswickian ever elected to a state house office.— Brunswick Times. Rc ‘ easy, brother. He will never bear that distinction; at least not yet. It is something of a tribute to personal honesty and pure politic® to know that while some have seen fit to criticise Col. Candler's letter, nobody has yet attempt ed to defend M<ax Meyerhardt for show ing it. Now that army experts have shown that no torpedo has yet been invented that could destroy a battleship like the Maine in the way it occurred, the yellow journals iiave discovered that, after all, it was a submarine mine. Macon and Bibb county should have had a pest house fott, weeks a.go. The excuses row offered are not in order, because they do not apply .o the primary cause for this a!mo'?t criminal delay. When the courts have shown their ina bility or unwillingness to cope with un lawful railroad consolidations and monop oly, then i-t may be necessary to make it a state issue. If. perchance, Hon. Joe Terrell should decide to re-enter th- gubernatorial race, it is not likely that he will be burdened by Governor Atkinson’s support. People should net blame Spencer Atkin son too severely for his name. He would, no doubt, be glad enough to change it to suit the ocoa-sion if he could. There were more lives lost in the Maine d-isa- : r than have been lost in Lite whole Cuban war, according to the official dis patches: The Journl’s references to Col. Candler are, of course, a matter of history, and his service to his country speaks for itself. So far there are only five or six candi dates in the gubernatorial race. But there are a few counties yet to be heard from. If Spain is eventually forced to go to war with this country she will probably regret that she ever discovered America. It is probable that Berner’s coup made it necessary for Judge Atkinson to revise his card of announcement. Mr. Garrard would probably carry his home county, Muscogee, and Lee county, Alabama. Times are hard, sure enough, when Sam Jones is willing to take a $3,000 job. The Root of All Evil. This lusting for money by me and by you. Is common alike to eentile and Jew.

The colored Baptists who drew out of the co-edueational convention which was in session here last week say that they will oppose the plan adopted by the other Baptists in the courts. ]>t will be remembered that a large num ber of the Baptists, lead by Rev. Lev.-, of Savannah, drew out of the convention when it was decided to adopt the plan pro posed by the Home Mission 'Education 1 Society of New York, those who drew out objecting to turning over the schools to this society. These Baptists declare that the others have no right to turn over the schools anti buildings to the Mission Society of New York, and if it is necessary an injunction will be asked for. The colored Baptists have several large school buildings at different places, and in ■the plan adopted they are to be turned over to the Mission Society. These who drew cut say that they were managing the school allright, and they do not see why outsiders should ibe allowed, to come in and take charge of them.

The New England Conservatory of Music did not hapen to buy 227 Ivers & Pond pianos in preference to other makes. There is a reason for it. It was not merely good luck that led nearly two hundred of the most prominent musical and educa tional institutions in the country to se lect the Ivers & Pond. It was the result of careful investigation and sound rea son. There are good sound reason why you should decide upon an Ivers & Pond if you are going to buy a piano. The reputa tion of the makers for liberal and fair dealing is your safeguard. The important patented improvements found in no other piano is another reason for deciding in its favor. But it is the watchful and pains taking care that follows every piano from start to finish, and the conscientious and intelligent attention given to even the smallest details of construction that is the reason why the Ivers & Pond Piano can be depended upon to give the best results and the best wear.
