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.
