Atlanta Georgian (and news) Id Atlanta: TWO CENTS. On Train*: FIVE CENTS. PRICE heads™ R OWN FAT The Weather: For Atlanta and yi- elnlty — Fair tonight and .Tuesday; rising temperature Tuesday. Sptrf Cotton 'V ATLANTA, 0A., .MONDAY, APRIL 3,1907. '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." ooooot»oooo<Kjaooo<H5oooooi O JACK FROST NEARs MAY NOT ARRIVE, G Easier Sunday was about as ■J ha<1 ■■ could be for the Easter 2 pared*—so the event of hustling r out *he new attire was postponed ~ to a wore auspicious occasion. 5 Mpplng cold Sunday night, but JJ overcast of clouds prevented JJFrost from getting a nip 2 at fruit and vegetation.

Growth and Progress of the New South The Georclen records hers etch dsy toms economic fset In reference to the onward uisrch of the South. 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.

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 trol.
