Everybody generally wants to

eyes of one faction nothing that
Hoke Smith does or says can he
good, and in the eyes of the other
nothing that Joe Brown does or says
anything—it matters not what it
is—he gets “knocked” and has its
motives or sincerity discounted, and
when it is Joe Brown doing or say
ing something,, it is the turn of the
organs of the other faction to
“knock” and deride.
The persistence with which a few
nowspapers of the state continue to
fan the embers of old issues and po

WORST OF WHITE. MEN
The Man Who Has no Trade Is the
Worst Blot on Society.
That a white man who has no
tradu and no profession is commer
cially or less value than a negro in
the Southern states—that a white
.man who has no t rade or profession
is no good at all in the Southern
states from an economic standpoint,
is the hard conclusion which the
secretary of the Atlanta Associated
Charities, L. C. Logan, has been
forced to reach after long obseA’u-
iion. Mr. Logan says that alnus
any negro can make a living with his
mucles, but there is no demand for
unskilled white labor in the South
and that even when a white man
•wants work of the roughest manual
kind, he cannot get it.
Factional Journalism.
During recent years, dating back
we may say,to the memorable guber
natorial campaign of 1906, the spirit
of partisanship in state politics has
been permitted to get such a hold
upon some of the newspapers of the
state as to almost destroy their in
fluence in politics, if indeed it has
not seriously impaired there useful
ness in the broad field of Journalism .
The extent to which these partisan-
papers indulge, whenever chance
opportunity offers, the prejudices
that have been engendered in bitter
ness of political strife, is really de
plorable.
There are some newspapers in Geor
gia that are so partisan as between
Hoke Smith and Joe Brown and their
xespectiv political followings that
they can't even publish a straight
news story with which either is re
motely connected without putteng
prejudical headlines over it. In the

^-Representing the supply of cotton
i« the United States for the year
ending August 31 last, as being 12,-
188,021 bales, 20 per cent, less than
that of the previous year, in its an
nual review of the cotton supply,
the Census Bureau says that 52 per
cent, was exported.
The quantity of cotton consumed
during*the year was 4,798,953 bales
compared with 5,240,719 bales in
1909, a decrease of 441,766 bales,
or -8 per cent. The average weekly
consumption of cotton in the United
States in 1910 amounted to about
92.000 hales, compared with 108,-
000 in 1909, 87,000 in 1908 and
96.000 in 1907.
A significant feature of the report
is theigrowth shown in the manu
facturing industry in the cotton
growing states since 1880. There
were in these states thirty years ago
only 561,360 active spindles, which
consumed 187,748 bales of cotton.
In 1910 there were 10,801,494 ac
tive spindles, consuming 2,292,324
halos of cotton.
The quantity of domestic raw cot
ton exported during the year end-
,«g August 31, 1910, amounted to
6,339,028 running hales, .valued at
$460,868,020. Of this cotton, 38
per cent, went to the United King
dom, 30 per cent, to Germany, 15
per cent, to France, these three
countries taking about five-sixths of
the total quantity exported.
•According to the report the total
value of exported cotton goods of
domestic manufacture for the year
ending June 30, 1910, amounted to
$33,398,672, whereas the import of
manufactures into the United States
during the same year amounted to
$66,374,143 in value. The indus
trial importance of American cotton
is illustrated bv the fact tl.at not
less than 90,000,000 persons are
employed in its production and
handling and the industries for
which it furnishes the raw material.
