LETTER FROM HON. THOS S
JOHNSON.
A. G. Lamar, Editor Barrow
Times.
Winder, Ga.
My Friend:
On my return from New Or
leans I notice with pleasure your
complimentary reference to me in
last week’s issue of your paper. 1
treasure the friendship, beginning
in the school room of Martin Insti
tute under Profs. John W. Glenn
and S. P. Orr in 1871, that has ex
isted and grown stronger as the
years have gone by.
My heart swells with gratitude
that under a kind Providence I
was permitted to attend the Cot
ton Association at New Orleans
under an appointment of the gov
ernor. During the 70’s the dream
of our fathers was liberation of
from the south through direct
trade from southern ports with
Europe, and effort was made by
the southern farmers in an organ
ization known as the Grange. For
lack of business judgment the ef
fort failed, during all the years
since the flag that represented
southern principles was furled to
wave no more at Appomattox, the
south has produced the wealth
that enriched other sections but
lias been helpless.
When our government entered
the world war and called up
on the south she responded with
our food increased, our money in
bonds and War Saving Stamps,
and the Hower of our young man
hood. In 1914 the south lost over
four hundred million dollars sell
ing her cotton crop for less than
production when this could have
been avoided, when 1 he war is ov
er then as cotton section
an embargo is kept on our cotton
as on no other product of our
great country. At New Orleans
every interest of the south was
represented, the farmer, the hank
er, merchant, cotton factor and
southern exporter.
All the forces combined led by
the most wonderful financial mind
of the age, W. P. G. Harding,
Governor of the Federal Reserve
Board, a native son of Alabama,
Associated with him, U. S. Sena
tor Smith, of S. C., who lias done
more for tlie south and the south
ern farmer than any other man
who ever had a seat in the U. S.
Senate.
Senator Pearson of Mississippi,
Congressman lletlin of Alabama,
and other representatives of con
gress from the south, with commis
sinners of Agriculture, governors,
leading farmers, and hankers of
the south. Out of this congress
representing the southland was
created a corporation with one
hundred million dollars, every dol
lar of which must be subscribed
in tlie cotton growing states and
the declaration of the southern in-
dependence was written, the pow
ers that had needed the south for
fifty years, did not believe all her
forces would combine for her de
liverence but the south lias seen
civilization saved when all the
forces combined were led by the
command of the immortal Foche.
\\ ritton in golden letters is the
south’s independence. That man
in the south, now who falters, is
a slacker indeed, and unworthy
to remain in such a land with its
traditions and history.
I hereby tender my sincere ap
preciation to Rev. W. 11. Faust for
his services in the past when as
sociated with him in the effort to
redeem the state of our birth. 1
know this occasion of the south's
liberation will rejoice lis heart.
It would he a pleasure to me to
come to your beautiful city at
such time as they might designate
to meet your farmers, merchants,
bankers and every interest true to
the south, to give an account ox
this meeting, its object and pur
pose.
1 can never forget the good peo
ple of Winder and surrounding
section.
sincereiy >,.urs,
T. S. JOHNSON.
