EDITORIAL
OVER THE TOP FOR GEORGIA.
TPIIE gratifying news came from
* Atlanta Saturday night night
that the campaign for the organiza
tion of the Georgia Cotton Growers'
Co-operative association, with at
least 200,000 bales signed up in the
growers pool for a period of five
years as a starter, had gone over the
top. Reports received through Sat
urday showed that a total of 240,000
bales had been signed by some 12,-
fiOO Georgia farmers.
Thus a task for a long time ap
peared hopeless has been completed,
and Georgia has become the seventh
link in the chain of states in which
the cotton growers have taken mar
keting into their own hands and out
oT the hands of the speculator. With
Six states already organized, and sev
eral of them functioning last year
in a more or less successful way de
spite the fact that they controlled too
small a share of the total crop to he
really effective, all eyes had been
on Georgia, the second largest cottn
growing state. For it was realized
that it was important to have Geor
gia organized if the cotton pool
movement as a whole were to be as
successful as was possible or as had
been planned. So, after delays ai/d
indifferences, and discouragements
of one kind and another, an intensive
campaign was conducted during
March and the job completed and
more by April 1, the date set.
Now that the job is done and done
in fine style, and the growers’ pool
has become a reality in Georgia,
there will probably be more or less
of a scramble to grab the honors
for putting over) what we believe
will come to be the biggest thing
that ever happened to the South eco
nomically. But when the claims are
all sifted down there will be one left
that will stand out above all others.
And it will be that of the Atlanta
Georgian and Sunday American, and
the men at the head of these news
papers. For they were the pioneers;
it was they who inaugurated the
movement in Georgia, they who saw
it through.
It was fifteen months ago that the
Georgian and Ameircan sent Victor
Victor, then a member of their staff,
to interview Aaron Sapiro, the Cali
fornia lawyer who had been the
brains behind 'the very successful
producers co-operative associations in
the West which had brought riches
to California producers of every kind,
as well as to those of several other
Western states. Mr. Sapiro told him
what could be done with the cotton
growing industry; how the growers
could organize among themselves for
co-operative marketing direct to the
consumers, and thus take the crop out
ol the hands of the speculators and
place its control in the hands of the
producers. He did not promise that
the growers could/ so control the
market that they could hold up the
world for whatever price they want
ed for their cotton, but he did assure
them they could eliminate the gamb
lers’ repeated profits and the com
mission men’s frequent turn-over,
and otherwise secure for themselves
the full value of their product, some
thing the growers have never yet
been able to because they have never
yet controlled the market or even
had any voice in the marketing of
their crop.
Mr. Victor came back and wrote
of* Sapiro’s plan, and later Sapiro
himself was brought to Georgia for
several speeches. The Georgian defi
nitely undertook to conv«— - L he peo
ple of Georgia to the plan. It was
discouraging work. Scores of lead
ers of the state, after hearing the
plan, admitted it was a fine theory,
and probably would work, but shook
their heads wisely and sadly and said
it couldn’t be put over in Georgia.
But that didn’t stop the Georgian.
The campaign went right on. The
doctrine was preached without a let
up, day after day. Finally results
began to show themselves, momen
tum began to be acquired, «nd suc

NANCY and Nick bade .the

ed up the Eiderdown Mountain. It
was the middle one of the Seven
Mountains.
“My!” said Nancy, looking all
around. “It’s all blue plush and as
soft as a pillow. This will be an
easy mountain, Nick”
But no sooner had she spoken
than she disappeared. The soft blue
surface of the mountain had caved
in, like a snow drift does when you
step on it, and closed over the top
of Nancy’s head.
Nick stood stalk-still, not daring
to move dr breathe scarcely, for fear
of going under too! “Oh!” he whis
pered. “Oh, oh, goodness!” He
clutched the record tightly as
though it might save him.
Suddenly the magic paper
jumped out of his pocket and spread
itself out flat against the record.
Then the red feather pen jumped
out of his other pocket and began
to write on the paper.
“Turn around and run down
the mountain the way you came,”
wrote the pen. “Nancy will come

Mrs. Julia Kendrick, an aged resi

(From the Times-Reeorder April 3,
1902.)
A change in the clerical force of
the Hotel Windsor was effective yes
erday. Major Harnett, who has been
day cierk for a year, has returned to
his home at Guyton, and Night Clerk
Frank Turpin has been made day
clerk.
Judge R. L. Maynard succeeds E.
Taylor as a member -of the Police
commission. Mr. Taylor recently re-
cess at last rewarded the fight waged |
so long single-handed by the Geor
gian.
Now that the campaign is over !
and the fight is won, it has came |
out that William Randolph K'earst j
himself, owner of the Georgian and
American, but who has two splendid
and brilliant native Georgians at
their editoral helm and an all-South
ern staff in charge from top to bot
tom, some time ago lent the move
ment !JIO,OOO cash on an appeal from
( has. Barrett, of Georgia, president
of the National Farmers’ union, aft
er he had been assured by Mr. Bar
rett that there was a slim likelihood
of him ever getting back any of the
money. According to Mr. Barrett,
all that Mr. Hearst asked him was
whether hfc was confident the move
ment, if it succeeded, would aid the
farmer, and when given this assur
ance asked nothing more.
Right here the Times-Recorder
wants to pin a bit of a bouquet each j
on Jim Nevin, editor of the Georgian I
American, and Edwin Camp, the
managing editor, probably the ablest
editorial management combination
in the South, and to whom personal
ly must go the bulk of the credit
bestowed upon these two papers for
the success of this movement which
we believe is destined to mean so
much in prosperity within the next
iew years to the cotton farmers of
the South. It was their faith and
their foresight, their genius to see
and plan, and their ability to make
others see and believe that resulted ill
success. This combination has been
heard from in other movements in
Georgia outside of politics as well as
in. It will be heard from again. And
it will always be on the side it be
lieves right, whether the rest of us
agree with it or not.

When the magic pen had ceased
writing it jumped back into Nick’s
pocket and the magic paper fol
lowed.
Nick obeyed instructions and ran
down to the foot of the soft blue
plush mountain, which kept caving
in at every step.
Relieved of Nick’s weight the
mountain sprang into place again,
and Nancy appeared. “My,. I’m
nearly dead,” she coughed. “I
thought I was gone for sure.”
“Come on down,” called Nick.
“We can’t cross the mountain till
jit gets wet. We have to see Mr.
; Sprinkle Blow.”
