MURRAY’S NOTORIETY.
Ex-Governor Northen has
u r itteii the city council of
Dalton that he wishes to come
to that city and organize a lo¬
cal branch of the Business
Men’s Gospel Union. The
purpose of this union is to
suppress crime among the
colored population.
The Citizen printed his let¬
ter last week and made some
remarkable comments upon it
and the orderly colored popu¬
lation in Dalton, saying among
other things: “From the or¬
derly colored population of
the city itseemed unnecessars
that a local of this organiza
lion should be established
here. There has not been a
case of rape in the country in
a number of years. There
has not been a single negro
mobbed since the Ku Klux
Klan came over from Murray
and killed the negro about
twenty years ago.”
As well as we remember a
i egro was sent to the pen at
ihe last term of the superior
court of Whitfield county for
twenty years, although it was
not for rape ; it was only for
attempt to rape.
And the Ku Klux Klan went
over from Murray some twen¬
ty years ago and killed a ne¬
gro in that city, yet from what
we can learn of the episode,
from people who should know
something about it, there were
more Dalton people in tnat
bunch that Murray people,
This is the way Murray has
gotten her notoriety as n land
of “toughs.’’ Where there
is one or more Murrayites in a
mob, no matter where it is or
how many people are there,
the whole blame is laid on
Murray.
TWO GREAT BODIES HARMONIZE.
The announcement is made
that President ITarvie Jordan,
of the Southern Cotton Asso¬
ciation, and President Charles
S. Barrett, of the National
Farmers’ union, have sailed
for Europe together in the
most friendly and fraternal ac¬
cord, and that the two organ¬
izations of which they are the
respective heads, are on more
cordial terms than they have
been since their organization.
This comes as gratifying
intelligence to the friends of
both organizations and it is
sincerely hoped that these re
lations will be strengthened as
the years go by. As fellow
travelers thtough the capitals
of Europe and in attendance
upon the cotton congress to
be held in Vienna, these two
estimable men should become
more closely allied to each
other than ever, in which
event it would be but natural
to find the two associations
themselves knitted together in
closer bonds of fellowship and
stronger ties of usefulness.
Thus working in harmony
these two organizations will
multiply their usefulness,
Each has done some notable i
work its province and ''
in own
this should be but the begin-
ning of a long career of in¬
creasing success for the fut¬
ure.
Whatever differences of
policy may have existed in the
past could easily be harmon¬
ized if the men at the head of
them started out with the de¬
termination to bring this about
The one object to be kept
steadily in view is the wel¬
fare of the farmer. He is the
victim of so many forms of
oppression devised.by wealth
and chicanery that he is enti
tied to the harmonious co-op¬
eration of such organizations
as stand’for his interests, This
effect would necessarily be
nullified if the representative
bodies of the south with which
he is identified should dissi¬
pate their strength by faction*
al quarrels and continued
strife.
Both President Barrett and
President Jordan have shown
executive ability of a high or¬
der. '[‘hey are practical men
with the tine grasp of the
needs of the farming interests
of the country. They know
by experience the reforms
which should be instituted and
the best way to bring them
about.
The attendance upon the
cotton congress which is about
to open in Vienna will be of
incalculable benefit to both of
them. They will gain an in¬
sight in the cotton business in
its larger relations which
could not be acquired in any
other way. It will be a rep¬
resentative body of men from
all over the world, engaged
as they are in the growth and
manufacture of cotton in all
its branches. The officials of
the Southern Cotton associa¬
tion and of the Farmers’ un¬
ion should come home rich in
experience . and information
which they will be able to
share with their members.
