'MY MEN
WOULD SOLVE
HE PROBLEM
rive Promise Funds
to Dr. John E.
White.
Two great movements, one looking to
the solution of the race problem In the
South, and the other more especially
to the problem In Georgia, have been
launched, and each has gained the sup.
port of some of the greatest men In the
country.
• One movement Is being urged by Dr.
John E. White, pastor of the First
Baptist church, bnd he reported to the
Conference of the Atlanta Evangelical
Ministers' Association Monday that It
Is gaining great headway.
"Five of the wealthiest men' in the
South,” he stated, '"have put all they
have back of this movement, and their
hearts and souls arc as much enlleted
as is their money.
"We contemplate the organisation of
all the moral forces of the South in one
body, and the appointment of a com
mission of the best and most learned
then of the South to handle the prob
lem and deal with situations affecting
the relationship of the races as they
come up.
“The preachers, the teachers, the
merchants and the people generally are
joining In the rails**, and the movement
is gaining great Impetus every day.”
Dr. White has been appointed to ad
dress the Atlanta Evangelical Minis
ters' Association at the nest meeting
on the subject of this great movement
to organize all the moral forces of the
South, and as he expressed It, "to
1 create a current of enlightenment to
grow oiit of the swirling eddies of the
prei.ent."
Governor Northen's Movement,
The other movement Is being foster*
ed by ex-Governor W. J. Northen, who
has been urging In speeches all over
the state the establishment of better
relationship between the races.
He contemplates the selection of
state commission, composed of some of
the best lawyers of the state, whose
duty It shall be to have the laws of the
state so revised os to do away with
the present objections to the legal man
ner of trying and punishing persons
charged with criminal assault and to
provide for the punishment of the lead*
ers and members of mobs.
"We want about twenty-five of the
best lawyers of Georgia. Such men
as Judge Adams, of Savannah; ex*
Congressman Fleming, of Augusta
Charles T. Hopkins, of Atlanta, and the
big lawyers from all over the state will
be selected, and It shall be their duty
to consider all the legal phases of this
problem,” said Governor Northen be
fore the Evangelical Ministers' Asso*
elation Monday morning.
"These men, by concerted, honest ef.
fort, can be dopended upon to reach the
solution. If there Is fault In the court
procedures In the frail of those charged
with assault, they will ferret it out and
remedy It. They will also adopt means
whereby the members of mobs will be
punished.
Punish Lookers-on,
"I am not only in favor of punish
ing those who take part in lynchlngs,
but those who look on, and thus gtvs
their moral sanction, should also bo
"What wo want to do is to prevent
assaultt, and then. If aesault le commit
ted, to punish tho offender by law, and
to punish those who seek to override
the law and provoke further crime.'
Governor Northen spoke at length ,to
tho conference on tho. puraoses and
the work of the Civic League, and gave
the substance of the lectures he had
been delivering through the state on
the labor problem.
At the conclusion of his address the
conference adopted, by a unanimous
vote, a resolution Indorsing all move
ments looking to the establishment of
Mtter relationship between the races.
The keynote of the whole move
ment," stated Governor Northen. “Is
to get the good white people of the
stnte and the good negroes together,
end. once united, they will look after
the bad people of both races."

Growth and Progress of the New South

economic fset In reference to the onward

BY
JOSEPH B. LIVELY..
While cotton has been a great contributor to enormous Increase In the
value of farm products, the value of this staple, with Its seed, represente,t
$675,000,000, or less than one-third of the total, and was quite closely
approached by the total of eight other crops, as follows;
Com
Wheat
Hay
Tobacco
Oats
Irish potatoes
Rice
Rye
5390.021.6:5
62.329,774
54,899,200
39.924,815
38,341.394
17.199.329
16,121,298
1,045,596
Total 5810.783.01l
The aggregate value In 1806 of these nine crops In the South was
81.285.000. 000. to which In reaching an estimate of the total, should be
added 8159,000,000 for poultry products, 8180,000.000 tor dairy products.
8110.000. 000 for rrutts and vegetables. $40,000,000 for sugar and Its prod
ucts, 118,000,000 for sweet potatoes, and 818,000,000 for miscellaneous prod
ucts—these sums representing the farm prices of the things sold—while
$100,000,000 Is a conservative estimate of additional farm products con
sumed on the farm.
Considering certain of the crops In the South In a comparison of the
ten years. Including 1887 and 1816, and of the ten yean, Including 1897 and
1906, an Interesting vista of Southern agriculture opens. The aggregate
production of cotton In the. first period was 72.666,000 bales, valued at
$8,816,288,719, and In the second period, 103,639,000 bales, valued at 14.-
013.297.111. Of leading grains, the aggregate production was, of t orn,
4,933,886,895 bushels; of wheat, 615.447,777 bushels, and of oats. 764.167.1,3
bushels, or a total of 6,818,502,125 bushels. In the flrat ten years, and ..r
com, 6,806,441.759 bushels; of wheat, 687,126.911 bushels, and of outs. 669,-
022,244 bushels, or a total of 6.952,695,944 bushels In the second ten years.
The past ten years have been marked by a rapid growth of dlvcrslflca-
tlon In Southern farming. That has been essentially manifested in the
expansion of the growing of fruit and early vegetables for Northern and
Western markets, the annual shipments now being valued at between
860.000. 000 and 880.000,000, one Northern trunk line alone hav Ing handled
lost year nearly 70.000 car loads of such product*. Originating In the
Norfolk. Vs., region about half a century ago, this lucrative industry has
extended up the eastern shore of Virginia and over wide stretches of ter
ritory between Norfolk and Wilmington. N. P. producing wonderful
changes In agricultural conditions. Une small section near Wilmington
which had scarcely commenced trucking ten years ago, shipped last year
2.700 car loads of strawberries, and land there which In 1897 was not
worth more than $5 or $10 an acre Is now, In 1907, worth 3100 to 3150 an
acre. Farther down tho coast. In the neighborhood of Charleston and on
through Florida and the gulf coast Into Texas, tru* k growing has It.

the Lackawanna railroad ferry boat,
Musconetong, crashed Into the big boat,
John D. Dailey, Just outside of the
Lackawanna slip In Hoboken.
Members of the crew of the tug boat
are missing, the number probably
drowned varying In conflicting reports
from one* to five. The remaining four
were rescued through the bravery of a
farmer who was on a barge being towed
by another tug boat.
It Is likely that the men on tho tug
boat were lost In the blinding snow
and hose and did not know the direc
tion In which the ferry boat was com
ing.
The police report nnmes os among
the missing the following;
WILLIAM HEALY, captain of the
tug Dailey.
JOHN CRONIN, engineer.
JOHN SHAMPSY.

Unless Alderman James L. Key finds

to grant a temporary restraining order

to guarantee Mr. Nunnally against any

Topics.
Washington, April*].—After carefully
considering the request of the Illinois
Manufacturers’ Association, of Spring-
Held, 111., presumably to express Ida
views relative to the railroad ilnan-
dal situation, President Roosevelt
wrote to. the association explaining that
It was Impossible for him to accept the
Invitation because he felt there was
nothing he could say now on thla spa
dal subject.
The president Inclosed marked cop
ies of his Raleigh, N. O., speech, deliv
ered October 19, 194)6, and the railway
employees address here on November
14, 1905, together with his last mes
sage to congress.
He concluded Ills letter by esplaln*
Ing that in the two speeches he had
said all he would say at' present. He
declared he was firmly convinced that
the recommendations In the message
roust be carried out. In the Raleigh
speech he asserted he did not believe
In government ownership, but believes
it Is out of the question for the gov
ernment not to exercise regulatory
rights over the railroads.
In addressing the railway employees
the president said he was convinced
there must be an Increase In the gov
ernmental supervising power over the
ratlmails. He reiterated his "square
deal" policy to all. He declared that
experience had conclusively shown tho
uselessness of getting adequate regula
tion of corporations by state action.
Proper supervision was only effective
through the national government, he
said.
In his congressional message of De
cember 6. 1905, tho president declared
that the public ownership of railroads
In the United Slates would probably
entail far-reaching disaster. He said
what Is needed Is the development of
an orderly system, which can only
come through the gradual Increase of
the right of efficient governmental con
