FINAL VINDICATION
OF THE 1 WENTY-THREE.
Regarding the censure which
} - been directed against certain
Democrats from Georgia in the
national house of representatives,
many Georgia papers have ex
pressed views, pro and con. It
is a fact that many, not compre
hending the situation, have ex
pr •sst tl views contrary to the
f 'ts in the case. The Macon
T legraph expresses the situation
vry clearly in the following
■ lltorial published a few days
<l. ' ’ G
Against a foolish clamor raised
in Georgia, and out of it, two
y irs ago in regard to the votes
of the famous “2d” Democrats,
s!\- of whom were Georgians,
T ie Telegraph stood firmly in the
opinion that they were right. Ii
vis on the issue raised between
Champ Clark and a mo.jority,
and Fitzgerald and a minority of
Ibmoerats in regard to rules.
IS vern! times since have those
“2d” been vindicated, but never
in re signally than when the
II iiise organized the other day.
The Associated I'ress did not
oov’or this question as fully as it
night have done at Ih<* time, hut
thi* Congressional Record is at
!i d giving the particulars. It
j en that the resolution offered
! Mr. Mann, the Republican
I 1* r, as a substitute for the
I * mcratic C >de of Rules is the
i ntic il Clark resolution, word
f zword, that was offered March
1 h, 100!), and against whit'
t * "twenty-three” voted. On
r l sday, April 4th. the entire
I mocratic membership joined
I .’“twenty-three” in defeating
t * resolution.
Another interesting fact is
t ,t what are known as the
F gerald amendments that the
"twenty-three” were criticised
Ft, because they supported them,
vvro incorporated bodily into the
Code of Democratic Rules, and
thus their efficiency and necessi
ty has been approved by the
entire party. These two facts
are of interest.
In addition to that, we would
also call attention further to tin*
way the “twenty-three” fared
in the way of committee assign
ments. They were denounced
as traitors to the party, and many
Georgians joined in the denunci
a on. A Democratic House since
i it time has been elected, and
ii determined to elect all its com
mit tees. and, as the result of
that election, we find that Harri
son of New York. Brantley of
G orgia, and Peters of Massa
chusetts, three of the "twenty
three. ” are elected members of
the Ways and Mean’s Committee,
which committee is made the all
powerful committee on commit
tees. We find Fit /.gerald is elec
ted to head the Appropriations
Committee, in many respects the
most important committee in the
House. We ti id Judge Moon ot
To messee. placed at the head of
Post Offices, which committee
w .1 lx* very much in the lime
light in the next two years, and
requires a strong able man at
it*- ead. We find Sparkman of
1 da. at the head of Rivers and
1 >rs. a position tremendously
s it for. and one of great
1 r. We find Goldfogle of
? York at the head of one of
t Dlecti ms Committee, and. as
t are numerous contest spend
i . this is quite an important
( >n. We find others of the
t y three i laced high up on
t other important| commit
t‘ . as. for instance. I,ee ot
C 'ia on Agriculture; Edward>
o orgia on Rivers and Har
t ; Broussard of L uisiana on
C amerce; Ls opinal of Louisi
a... and Riodan of New York on
Naval Alfairs. Conry of New
York goes to Commerce, Gold
logic also, and so it is with all of
i hem. They are well assigned.
In addition to these large com
mittees, the most of them have
■ i her committees. There is thus
lemonstrated. it seems to us
•ompletely, not only the charac
ter and ability of these men, hut
i s well, their excellent standing
/ith their Democratic associates.
Ret us hear no more about the
traitorous “2d.”
EORGIA AS A MANUFACTURING
STATE.
The census department of the
i!nrea.u of Commerce and Labor
>f federal government has just:
ued a preliminary statement
f the statistics of the last com
nereial census concerning the
i inufacturing enterprises in
orgia. The figures of the cen
*n are eloipient with the story
the growth and development
f the state in this most import
ed line of commercial endeavor.
An increase of 1!) per cent, is
r corded in the number of manu
f during establishments in the
ite, as shown by the compar
i ;on of the census figures for the
■ - i(.rl ending with 1904, as eon
asted with the period ending
■ith 1909. This means that 1,573 |
new manufacturing plants were j
tahlished in the state within j
* five-year ]ieriod noted, which
■ •led to the previous number,
99, mad a total of 4,792 at the
■of 19<)9. During the year
10 and the part of the present
ir, which have intervened,
iis total, of course, lias doubt
-s been greatly increased, as is
uibtless the case with the other
»trils given below.
The capital invested in these
mterprises has increased even
lore than the number of plants,
iie total now being $202,913,000,
liieh shows an increase of $67.-
91.000 over the $135,212,000 in
i vested at the close of 1904, or
i increase of 50 per cent. The
>st of the materials manufaetur
-1 in less plants has increased
..in $32,625,000 to $111,931,000
in the live years, making an in
vase of $33,300,000, or 40 per
■ut. The subjecting of these
naterials to the processes of man
ufacture caused them to appreci
ate in value from $07,415,000 to
'5.710,000. an increase of $lB,-
*4.000, or 27 per cent. One of
the most important items of all
is that which shows that the sal
aries and wages of the workers
in the establishments have in
creased from $33,320,000 t 0513.-
. >.OOO, thereby giving the wage
• timers of the state $10,558,000
lore than they received at the
tse of the preceding five-years
period.
These figures tell clearly and
a wisely the story of this part
Georgia’s industrial progress
nost up to the present time,
i u*y show that the state is rapid
i'orging to the.front as a man
act uring state, thereby gaining
~*industrial development which
has long needed. Manufac
ring interests are necessary
r any state or for any city
eh hopes to make rapid prog
;s and to become great.
It should be an object lesson
the citizens of Americas and
Sumter county to foster in
e cry way the development of
re varied manufacturing en
t arises. Much progress has
> • a made in this particular here,
a; with the rare agricultural
w .Ith surrounding Americus the
c. should have a much larger
number of manufacturing enter
prises and these of such nature
. .3 they will develop every line
■ . industry that is now neglected

THK MONTGOMERY Mf»\l TOII—THI’RSD.\Y. APRIL 2f. 10H-
SOUTHERN RAILWAY
WILL HELP COTTON,
Atlanta, Ga., April 23. “To
clothe the whole of humanity
would require 42,000,000 bales of
cotton each year.”
This statement was made by
President Hobbs, of the National
Association of Cotton Manufac
turers, at its recent annual meet
ing in Boston. Mr. Hobbs said
that, of the R 500,000.000 inhabi
tants of the world, only 500,000.-
000 are completely clothed, while
750,000,000 are only partially
clothed and 250,000,000 are prac
tically not clothed at all. As
civilization advances, the propor
tion of the partially clothed and
the unclothed will decrease, and
this, with the increase of popu
lation in civilized countries, will
call for an increased supply of
cotton. The cotton belt of the
United States now furnishes ful
ly two-thirds of the world’s sup
ply of cotton, and, as the demand
increases, will lie called upon
greatly to increase its annual
production.
It is a clear understanding of
this condition that has led the
Southern Railway Company to
organizes cotton culture depart
ment to work in co-operation
with the United States agricul
tural department and theagricul
tnral authorities of the Southern
states, to keep the cotton produc
t ion of the South abreast of the
demand by bringing about the
adoption of those cultural meth
ods which will result in larger
average yields per acre, thus in
creasing the profitableness of
cotton growing and leaving sur
plus lands to be devoted toother
crops and the growing of live
stock.
It is clearly more profitable to
a farmer to produce fifty bales
of cotton on fifty acres than to
produce the same amount on 100
acres, for he will receive the
same from her cheerfuly and
loyally acres for other uses. Un
derordinary circumstances, every
increase in the average yield of
cotton per acre reduces the cost
of production per pound and
yields the farmer a larger mar
fin of profit between the cost of
growing his crop and the selling
price.
