LEGISLATION INIMICAL TO COTTON. ‘•There Is fsr more denser to the lesitlmato oottoo interests of the South In the current tendency of lestilotlre thought tn the Southern states than there Is In bumper crops and m»r»«* ma nipulation. because laws such as those now pending In Alabama, Arkansas, Texas and. Tennessee, which do not discriminate Be tween necessary trad# facilities and onnecaasary bucket shops, cannot fall. If enacted, to offset adversely the farmer sad spot cotton merchant by fenfiangnUr placing both at a disadvantage tn marketing the crop." The above statement Is made by Colonel Henry -C. Heater, superin tendent and secretary of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange. He need* no Introduction to the cotton world, because he Is known wherever cot ton is bandied. His name never appears In print as a "bull" or a bear on cotton. Neither does tbs “dope artist" send out the tip that “Hester Is long” or that "Hester Is short of cotton—look for a rise," or a "de cline." as the case may be. Ha Is a statistician—has a world-wide reputa- tatlon as such. He Is the Southern authority on the movement of cotton from the farmer to the market and from the market to the spinner, and has given many years of study to this subject. He knows cotton and Is thoroughly competent to make the statement quoted above. What be has to say should be carefully considered by tha law-makers In the states hav ing bills to prohibit dealing In futures under deliberation, and. If possible, only such taws should be passed as will giva the seller an equal footing with the buyer. The buyer Is an Important tnd absolutely necessary person when cotton begins to move; but as It takes two to make a trade, a seller Is also n necessity.' After cotton leaves tha farmer's hands, his responsi bility ceases. Not so with the buyer. There are now some ;,(>00.000 bales of cotton in the visible supply, a large portion of which la held by the buyer. Tba coat of carrying this enormous amount of cotton Is con siderable. Tha farmer haa already received a aatlafactory price for It— has made his profit. The buyer Is entitled to a Jiroftt. and In order to se cure It. he has had without hindrance a safe method to protect himself against loss. The law has allowed him to “hedge.'' This els** of trad ing Is called legitimate by Colonel Hester, and Is undoubtedly a benefit to both buyer and teller. notice to subscribers : SMBADVERTISERS.

A correspondent of The New York Times protesta against the sfupld custom of drowning Ibe voices of singors pith tho braying orchestra. He wrltea: We pay good money to hear the alugera primarily—the orches tra secondarily, hut the reverie la forced upon us. I haven't beard the voices In • climax the past live years. "I wish," groaned one sufferer at the opera the other day. "that whenever the alngers approach a climax half the orches tra would become -temporarily paralyzed—” . "And the-Otherhalf faint away," fervently chimed In hla com pfft■ 'th»«i mg iwullif hair I lift vnlftft* ins|fllll nf flddlea Slid horns.” Is there not some way to convince managers and conductors that the sound of the Instruments should constantly be kept far, far below that of the voices—more particularly In climaxes? Anybody who can and will acrompllsh reform In this respect will have Carnegie nr Rockefeller beat to a frazzle as a philan thropist—In the estimation of opera-goers. Now. ordinarily this Is not In our line. We are quite sure the musi cians will declare that it la none of our business, and will answer any thing we may say by the remark that we don't kuow what we arc talking about. Perhapa they are right. We are too contaltutlonally meek to deny the allegation. * And yet we are tn thoroughly In accord with this fellow jvritlng In The Times that we are-going to publish bi* view* at all hazards and refer any' of the Irate among our local orchestras and accompanists to a man who Is a thousand miles removed from their Indignation. Every audience attending a concert It made up of perhaps one-twen tieth musicians tnd nineteen-twentieths of the plain people like we are WC are willing to wager a watch dog belonging to our next door neigh bor, or the drum that tome one haa given hla little boy. against a Jews- htrp. that eighteen-nineteenths of ifcw nJueteen-twenTteths agree witb rm and with this New York sufferer writing In The Times. Hut then we are learning alowly and painfully that modern muitc—' sclentlBc music—Is not Democratic and wax not made "for the greatest pleasure of the greatest number." but Is Republican and exclusive, being tuned and timed to the critical ean of the "airing remnant" who “uh- deratand."

In getting together a Jury last week for the trial of an Important ciise. found upon the panel a young man who ■tated that lie was a “Union man." "Well." said the Judge, "would that interfere with your Impartial Judgment aa a Juror?" "Yes." said the young man boldly. "Tbe union Is my best friend and ir n union men was on trial before the Jury nnd I Wes on It, I would give the union man the best of it, no niktter what the law or the facts might be." Nothing could better Illustrate than this Incident the difference In the character and caliber of the material North and South from which Juries ■re drawn. There Is no union man In Georgia and wo doubt If there le one In the South who would entertain or express such sentiments as these of the Chicago Juror. In that wild composite conglomeration of peoples who make up the citizenship of Chicago, all Just conception! of the duties and responsibili ties of the cltlsen In a republican government are too frequently hurled In the blind prejudices of class and organization that touches the Imme diate and selfish Interest of the Individual. There Is no appreciation of popular government and no hereditary or acquired resiiect for the law made by the people themselves. It Is much to the credit of Judge Cavanaugh that he did not grow an- grv in hla rebuke to the Ignorant and monstrous eoufesaloti of the dis charged juror. He spoke to him kludly and Instructively In these words of wisdom and guidance which make good reading anywhere. "Young man." said he, "I can scarcely believe that yon mean Just what you aay. You may have many friends among union men. but they should nol stand before the lew. There Is no other friend yon have who Is as good a friend to you aa the law. "It made provision for you before you were born; It enables vou to wear that coat on your back, those shoes on your feet, or aome one stronger than you would take them from you. Tbe law makes It itoaslble for you to earn wages; without It you could not collect your wages even though you earned them. It Is a guard over your house: It atands guard over you. your property, vout reputation, your life, and If you are tick and friendless It will take care of you audieok after you. If y ou are dying. It will pro- tect your body. "Amen may be friendly to labor unions—yea. but no labor union has jver been the friend to you that the law has been. There Is no organization' that haa been the friend to you that the law has l-een. You ought to hare respect for the law above any other In- Mltutton." Thoughtful people who read the statement of the young Chicago Juror <>r foreign birth, will realize In pari some of the apprehensions which move The Georgian tn go slowly and to urge caution and rigid discrimi nation on the part of our Immigration agents who are bringing new peoples from other countries to take part iu the future making of our laws, the rendering of our verdicts and the establishment nf our clvlltutlon. We ean get better foreigners then the dese to which this man lie- loogs. l,ot us tee to It that our agents do not bring us any like him. And we are too well proven a friend to labor not to suggest that tbla wlae aud kindly lecture of Judge Cavanaugh be (ranted lu Its lodges and read In the public meetings wherever public crises or private quar rels between classes make ll necessary to keep the majesty ol the people's law above all other causes sud considers Hons. IN jusnas TO pOtTKCmtAK TAYLOK. Councilman Taylor's resolution Adopted at tbe session of council held Saturday has brought down upon Ms bead more criticism than teems to be due him Individually. ^ ' While It seems to be true that the working out of bis suggestion In volves tbe removal of tbe dead podr. bit resolution wsh to tbe effect that a committee be appointed to Investigate the conditions surrounding certain pane of tbe burying ground (a question, and It was 1 unanimously adopted by council, which thus aeeumed responsibility ao far as the pri mary Investigation le concerned. The Georgian‘g editorial of Tuesday gave our view* on the subject of removal of tbe dead for poaelbly selfish ends, but Councilman Taylor should not be made an Individual target for critlclajn In the matter.' If the proposition Is Ill-advised, aa now appeari to The Georgian, there will be ample time and opportunity to avoid It when the special commit tee of Investigation shall have reported to council. Ik tbe meantime. Tbe Georgian. In Ite desire to be entirely Just to Mr. Taylor and to council ■■ a body, shall refrain from further comment on the matter. TBE CONSERVATIVE VIEW Of IMMIGRATION. The notably Urge attendance and the. keen Interest manifested et tbe Immigration Convention In Macon Is fully justified by tbe vast Im portance of the subjects under discussion. We ere passing now through a transition period In the industrial aud social life of tbe South. The idleness tad sblftlessnes* of tbe negro, hie steady exodus from the fields of agriculture to the cltlea, and bit Increasing Indisposition to manual work have upaet the entire labor sys tem of tbe South. Tbe scarcity of labor has further been Increased by tbe prnsperoue conditions of the workingclasses which have rendered .It possible for these men to live and prosper upon lighter work In other tines. We are in need. too. of better and more tklllful belp In our domestic life and ser- vice. 7. \ Tbe ^abor problem furnishes the largest justification for tbe Interest manifested in immigration, and the neoeasIHes of our people In thle de partment ere so great ai to tempt ne to overlook many prudentUI and far-seeing precautions which ought to surround tbe bringing of new peo ples Into this most conservative and moat American of all section* of oar country. Beyond the labor stringency there U a material demand for Immigra tion along other lines. Our people desire an increase of populaUon, because of the general desire to live In a populous state and to outrank our nearest state rivals lit numbers and Importance. Our people desire an Increase of population because we have much un occupied territory which we desire to see settled and Improved. We desire an Increase of population because more people paying taxes will reduce the per capita of taxation to tbe-Individual citizen. We desire an increase because these new peopfes will dveate a larger market end an increasing demand for our manufactured product*, for our raw material, for our wholesale and retail etores, and for all tbe things which our people have to sell. _ We_wl»h Immigrants to come to Georgia to establish now industries, -aud In tarmac nnr supply nf all products lo meet the demand orour~dwir~ and other states. To sum It all up wo are inviting new people* here, because, pros pering and prosperous as we arc, we went to get rich faster sud prosper more abundantly than we are today. All of there are good and natural reasons for sustaining and helping the Immigration movement which Is being earnestly planned at Macon. All good citizens must feel an Interest In the outcome of that convention. If we are looking only for today and for the Immediate tomorrow, there need be no prudent reserve and no holding back In the fullest and and most unhesitating pledge of co-operation In advance with everything that tbe Immigration Convention may do. But there are questions Involved here fully as deep end In many re spects even more vital than tbe material considerations which are mov ing the enthusiastic friends of Immigration. - —— : We are not to poor or ao needyln Georgia that we should rush un thinking and unguarded Into pollciet that may bring ua trouble In the fu ture. We are growing faat enough to aatlafy any reasonable people. We are getting rich and richer every year. Our numbers fire enlarging by Our territory Is being-settled wholesomely If slowly, and every year — Will multiply the Increeee of our own people who In the course of time must forex a population os dense as Germany s and create a demand for every aorc of our land and all our work that la to be done. We need not fear that the coming years will see our farms In weeds or our workshops de serted. We In the South are by common couseut the most representatively American, and the moat Intelligently cohaervatlre part of the American people. Thta la a fact of universal recognition. It means much to ua now In repute and dignity, and In the future It will mean more to ua of safety and progress along high lines of civilization. The people of Chi cago and New York and Cleveland and puffalo cannot boast of an'electo rate aa clean and American as that which holds In Us bands the present solution of our Southern problems. That Jargon of foreign tongues In these great centers la not hareber than tbe discord In sentiment and ideals between the natives and the aliens who must compromise their wide differences as best they can In public affairs. It 1* worth more than any thoughtless man can ever conceive, that the civilisation of this American and rapidly growing South should be kept faat In the traditions of the native born who have made It and hold it today. We aay earnestly and honestly that there la no lutontlou In these lines to handicap or discourage In any way the notable movement for bringing more people to Qeorgta. This le the single suggestion we would make. That because we are doing ao well and grading so prusjieroualy as a purely American people, we can well afford to gd slowly and carefully In making any rbauget In our populaUon. Wc do not need to sacrifice any principle or any policy to do this now. We can eliminate the elements of haste and eagerness from our Im migration plans. We can well afford lo be severely select and discrimi nating In our Immigrants. We can go slowly, choose our new settlers with great care and absolute Independence, and under no circumstances should we rush to eager and pndellberate competition In the great mar ket of men who are waiting to be brought tc our shores. l-et us gq.out after worthy Immigrant*, for wc need them, but let us vigorously bar all the cranks and paupers and lams which Europe is glad to disgorge and which have Impaired the imlltlcnl suggestion of Chi cago and other American cltlea. No matter how long It takes to get good immigrants, let ua remember that we can afford to do without any save good immigrants, and that wc have plenty of time to examine their Illness to be a part of ti* GOSSIP HMIIHMHMM* Georgia Sages By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER.
