COL. CRENSHAW AND HIS LETTER.
Considerable interest is being
manifested in political circles over
over the recent letters of Col.
T. C. Crenshaw, of Cartersville,
addressed to Senator McLaurin,
of South Carolina, and Col.
Crenshaw is being handled
in some guarters roughly, while
some of the influential papers of
the state see nothing in his letters
to bring him censure. By reason
of the fact that Col. Crenshaw
has long been a recognized leader
in state politics, and as a*courtesy
to him as one cf our prominent
citizens. The News reproduces
his last letter to Senator McLau
rin.
At the same time we reproduce
the most intelligent and fairest crit
icism of Cos!. Crenshaw’s letter
that we have yet seen. It is from
the gifted pen of Mr. O. G. Cox,
of the LaGrange Graphic. Mr.
Cox covers the ground very nicely.
Chairman Crenshaw’s second
letter to Senator McLaurin is as
follower
“Replying to your letter of the
27th ultimo, I beg to say that at
the time of writing you my approv
al of your Charlotte speech and
your course in the U. S. Senate
it did not occur to me that you
would care to give it publicity, or
else I would have been more pains
taking in the preparation of the
letter. 1 never wrote anything,
however, that I am unwilling to
stand by, and you are therefore
authorized to use the letter in any
way that may seem proper to you.
“I desire to say, in addition to
what I have already written you,
that I am a lifelong democrat, have
known nothing but democracy
from the cradle up, and that I have
worked as hard and done as much
for the democratic party as almost
any man in the country. I have
lived at LaGrange, Troup county,
in this state, the greater portion
of my life. I was twice nominated
by the democratic party and elect
ed alderman of the city of La-
Grange; once nominated by the
democratic party and elected may
or of the city of LaGrange; twice
nominated by the democratic par
ty and elected represenative in the
Georgia legislature from Troup
county. I was the first collector of
internal revenue appointed by
President Cleveland in 1885 and
was among the last of collectors
of internal revenue remov ed by
President Harrison in 1889. I
was then for seven years claim ad
juster of the Central of Georgia
Railway and Banking Company.
I am now chairman'of the railroad
commission of Georgia, having
been appointed one of the three
members of the board of railroad
commissioners as a democrat in
1896. 1 love everything connect-
ed with sound democracy, and it
distresses me to see the party
holding to politics that are not on
ly detrimental to the best interests
of the south—especially the At
lantic and gulf states —but ruin
ous the country at large. I am
glad to see you leading in an ef
fort to induce the democratic par
ty of your state to drop dead is
sues and get on a sound, progress
ive and statesmanlike platform.
“You will doubtless receive
much censure from some of your
former friends and supporters on
account of the views yon enter
tain. but you are unquestionably
right in the positon you have as
sumed; and oou ought to be suc
cessful in your undertaking, and I
believe you will be when the peo
ple thoroughly understand the sit
uation. 1 am neither a propliet
nor the son of a prophet; but
venture the prediction that the
democracy v ill never win again in
a presidentiat election until it
changes its policy and adonts for
its platform sounder, broader and
more patriotic principles than Mr.
Brian has by his dictatorship com
mitted the party to. The day has
passed when a political party can
triumph in a national election on
merely sentimental issues. When
Mr. Bryan announced that ‘imper
ialism was the paramount issue’
in the presidential campaign of
1900 I at once come to the con
clusion that there was not the re
motest possibility of his election.
“The cry of ’imperialism’ anc
opposition to everything propos
ed by the party in power, without
proposing something bstter, is not
sufficient to defeat the republicans
in a national contest.
“I am a believer in the doctrine
of sound money and expansion;
and it will not be long before the
correctness of my position upon
both of these great questions wil
be endorsed by the entire south.
Expansion and sound money
means increase in the commerce of
our country, higher prices for la
bor and the products of labor and
greater prosperity generally. As
soon as the Chinese ‘troubles are
settled, and with the ‘open door’
policy maintained, the United

not follow blindly the leadership
of those who think it is a crime
for the individuals composing the
party to follow the dictates of their
own conscience. A political party
can no more succeed by a policy
of intolerance than could a church
with infidels for its membership.
Very truly yours,
“T. C. Crenshaw.’’
From the LaGrange Grnphic.
The Graphic has long been the
sersonal and political friend of
Hon. T. C. Crenshaw, the present
railroad commissioner of Georgia
We endorsed him editorially when
he first applied, signed a petition
from our citizens asking for his
appointment, and were extremely
gratified by his success in secur
ing the place. We are still his
personal friend, and tor that rea
son we are very sorry to see him
trembling so near the brink of re
publicanism as is indicated by a
recent letter which he wrote to
Senator McLaurin, of South Car
olina, who while enjoying all the
emoluments of an office to which
he was elected by democratic votes
supports in loto republican meas
ures.
Mr. Crenswaw begins by saying
that Senator McLaurin’s speech de
livered at Charlotte, N. C. meets
with his hearty approval, and adds
“1 have watched >our course in
the Uuited State’s senate with
much interest, because I have
been for quite a while advocating
the same line of policy.” Further
on he says “1 endorse your entire
course in the United States senate,
including the speech you made in
favor of the subsidy bill.”
From the closing of his letter we
quote the following:
“I voted for Mr. Bryan twice,
and each time that I did so I voted
against mv convictions. Although
I voted for Mr. Bryan, I believed
that his election would have been
detrimental to the best interests of
our country, more especially the
South; and for this reason I really
wanted Mr. McKinley elected”
The Graphic regrets Mr. Cren
shaw’s position, and is sorry to see
his talents turned against the prin
ciples which constitute the basis of
democracy. One great cause of
the failure of the democratic partv
in national affairs, has been all the
time that it contained too many
men like Mr. Crenshaw, who while
voting the democratic ticket “real
ly wanted the republican candi
date elected. Men holding posi
tions of honor and profit given
them by the democratic party who
“really want” republicans elected,
crush out any enthusiasm for the
triumph of democracy, and make
party success almost impossible.
In the future, if such a thing is
possible, let us give the places at
the disposal of the democratic
party to the men who “really
want” to see democrats elected.

TO TREAT APPENDICITIS.
The French have a great dread
jof appendicitis. They say it is an
American disease and, having no
word to express it in their lan
-1 guage, have adopted the Ameri
can term. The French stand in
mortal terror of the knife and they
have adopted anew treatment,
which, by the way, is becoming
popular in New York. This
seems to be the oil treatment, a
description, of which Surgeon-
General Terry, of New York has
given to the medical profession,
supplemented by the use of the
compress. It will, in almost every
case result in cure if it is adopted
in time. Last week Dr. Terry
had an experience at Princeton.
A son of one of the most promi
nent surgeons of Missouri, who is
a student at Princeton, was strut
ted with appendicitis. Dr. Terry
is a friend of the family and he
was summoned to Princeton, al
though £he opinion of some of the
local physicians was that the case
called for the immediate use of the
knife. When the doctor reached
Princeton he found the patient’s
pulse 120 and his temperature a
little over 104. The oil treatment
was immediately administered,
with the compress. Within an
hour relief was observed. By the
next morning both temperature
and pulse had fallen, and two days
later Dr. Terry found his patient
strong enough to permit his re
moval from Princeton to Dr. Ter
ry’s home in Utica. The latest re
port from Utica was that the early
recovery of the young man was
expected. One or two prominent
citizens of New York ’.ere taken
down with appendicitis in Paris
last summer. The French physi
cians treated the disease without
the knife, although in one case
the attack was very acute. The
patients recovered, returned to
New York, and have been appa
rently in perfect health since their
return.

THE COTTON GIN.
Savannah Press.
Colonel D. A. Tompkins of
Charlotte, N. C., has just com
pleted uninteresting pamphlet on
the cotton gin. He is an expert up
on all matteis about cotton mill
machinery and has gone back to
the beginning of the gin. Mr.
Tompkins is not entirely” correct,
however, in some of his conclu
sions and we do not know that he
has had access to any more light
than the other men who have writ
ten up the gin in former articles.
Mr. Tompkins review's the cir
cumstances attending the coming
of Eli Whitney to Savannah; how
the young Yale graduate came to
Georgia to be a tutor in a private
family, and how' disappointed he
was when he found the place filled,
how the widow of Nathaniel
Greene, who had met him on the
ship, invited him to her house and
supplied him with means and
books to study law'. She soon
found that the young man had a
fine mechanical turn and called on
him to get up some mechanical de
vice that would detach cotton lint
from the seed. With a woman’s
intuition she believd that Whitney
could make such an invention.
Accordingly the young man went
to work, and in June, 1794, lie ap
plied for a patent, which was is
sued to him the following year.

driven in a wooden cylinder and
having a slotted bar through which
the spikes passed. There was a
bruh to clear the spikes. Mr.
Tompkins conchies that Whitney’s
inyention was crude, but funda
mental. The practical application
of this idea w'as made by Hodgson
Holmes, a Georgia mechanic,
practical, but illiterate. He in
vented an improved gin using cir
cular saws properly spaced be
tween ribs. This also was patent
ed in 1796. Whether Whitney
took it from Hodgson or Hodgson
got it from Whitney will probably
never be know'n. Mr. Tompkins’
pamplet does not throw much
light on this subject.
Mr. Tompkins combats the idea
that Whitney w'as badly treated in
the south. He says that he re
ceived from South Carolina $50,-
000, from North Carolina $30,000,
and from Tennessee SIO,OOO in the
way of royalties. Whitney got in
to trouble in Georgia for trying to
monopolize the ginning business.

litigation. *
