The directory canvass of Atlanta Just completed shows, upon the ac cepted baala of computation In such cases, a population of 1(58,000 for this city and suburb*—ten thousand Increaso over the canvass of a year ago. This year we have eight hundred more school children than last; two thousand one hundred new homes: four hundred vacant houses against seven hundred last year, and the vacant ones, as most of us know, unfit to live In—for If there Is one thing moro difficult to find In Atlanta than anything else, It Is a house to live In. Few of our citizens have stopped to reason out the economic condi tions of our country, and particularly of the 8outb, as they relate to our city or even our state. Land In the south central states In 1860 was worth fourteen dollars an acre—It la not now worth eleven dollars an acre. Why was It worth more fifty years ago than It la now? It is the same land, the same sunshine, the same dew and rain—has fertility left It—does It grow less cotton? No, no. Labor has left It. Tbe negro, who was regulated in 1860 and. by major force, was made to earn his honest living, keep and live a clean and healthy life, has since grown to be a pest—a child of bis own whims and weaknesses, and where he Is hardly worth $25 a month, when free to practice.vice and drunkenness, convicts aro leased for as high as >50 a month, where the results of tbelr weaknesses are restrained. But we arp asked what bearing this has on our cities or our state and their growth, Sltpply this: Our cities depend absolutely upon the productive parts, of our-sectlon —our manufactures depend absolutely upon the demands of the country’ districts, because nearly 90 per cent of our population In the South is In tbe rural districts, and while we have five billions of dollars In manufac tures In the United States, most of which is not in the South, we have twenty-one billions In agriculture, a large portion of which la In the South. What then makes for weal or woe In our cities or In our state, what element Is lacking? Labor—labor—labor. What la labor—agricul tural labor—In the South? It Is tbe negro. Ho makes up one and one- quarter million of Georgia's population, 850,000 of Alabama's, 280,000 of Florida's and so on—approximately one-half onr population In the South ern states. And It he worked to one-half the advantage that he did In times gone by. we would hardly be able to find markets for our pqoduct. But such la not the case. Ho la not the producer he ought to be, and we can not prosper as We ought until he becomes such. , We bare passed laws from time to time to regulate vices. We have tried to make many crimes more difficult for the weaker race, and last of all, tbe people of this state saw fit to pass a law that will, at least, vastly restrict the possibilities of the negro race getting drink as it now gets it. Alabama la doing the same, and the effort bids fair to spread to all’states with large negro populations. i Is It likely that the negro population of voting age, about 38 per cent of which ft illiterate, will flnd.lt as easy to get drink In the South after It Is restricted by a prohibition law as It has been heretofore since they became citizens? la there a merchant or a real estate man who kuows so little of his dependence for success upon the needs of our agricultural districts as to doubt the outworking! of a law that will make a better laborer for the farmer If It does nothing else? I* there a mim so narrow that he would be unwilling to see a prohibition law hovering protecting!)- over the homes of eleven millions of negroes south of the Ohio river? U there Is, he Is so Ignorant of the economic forces that govorn us that his opinion shonld not bo considered. Eliminate one hundred millions of cotton crop from Georgia, and toll nt bow long our Century building, our Candler building, our Fourth National Bank building and our other buildings would !>e busy with their armies of workers. Tell us, Mr. Merchant, where you would be with your three to flvo hundred clerks? Tell us, Mr. Real Estate Man, who would buy and rent your homes? Give the best manager of farm help the South has today the labor he needs, and he says bo could as easily raise a thousand bales of cotton as he now raises six hundred. Then make Georgia’s cotton crop one hundred and fifty millions of dollars Instead of one hundred millions, and tell us where the money w ill go if It doesn't go to the city. Our cities are not productive. Everything the human race uses to day Is produced by tho worker either of the soil or the mine, away from the city, and the cities work it over and sell It back to the country and to their neighbors who aro doing the same things In other cities. Sentiment need not enter Into tho argument. We may forget tho cases where homes of our white peoplo will be benefited—We may accept the hypothesis that white men who want strong drink will get as much of It as they do now If they choose to take the trouble. But no man can look at the question from the cold-blooded standpoint of business and show wherein tyc can do other than benefit Industrially, and In every other possible way, if tho weaker race Is hindered In the securing of an element that makes him a poorer cltlson—a moro worthless laborer—» more Inhuman brute—an enemy to himself, his country and his God. The Georgian does not consider the matter solely from this stand point. As men who believe In tho prevalence of right and sobriety, we believe tho benefit of the doubt lies In but one direction. An business men conducting a healthy business enterprise that.has much to do with the prosperity or Impediment of a community, we believe wc see a lit tle further into tbe future thau some of our neighbors, whose vision only reaches the balance on today’s oash book and—"his wife, his son John and hts wife." Many men In our midst would tie hardly less than gratified If they could point to the depression we have experienced as a result of the acts of the supporters of what seems to them radicalism. It should not he less than a source of greatest satisfaction to the thinking people, who have acted In accordance with what they believed the best interests of our soctlon, to see that the worat depression has been elsewhere than In Georgia, and that we have seen a real security hold cotton at It has never been held before for Just prices—and a complete upsetting of all the calamitous predictions of the worst of our pessimists. More people. More school children. More homes. Moro houses occupied. jSsloon property being rented. More cotton. More crops. Moro Happiness. We are grateful that It t* so. THE LIBRARY OF SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY. The "book shower" to be given Friday afternoon. November 22. at the-library of the Georgia School of Technology should enlist the gener ous-rand sympathetic Interest of the cltlxent of Atlanta. No Institution, educational or otherwise, reflects a greater glory upon the community and upon the state at large than the School of Technology, which yearly ■ends out Into tbe world young men thoroughly equipped to cope with the wonderful Industrial and commercial development of the present time. As la well understood, the graduates of the Tech now rank as the peers of the alumni of any other similar edncatlonal institution and com mand salaries comparative with those paid to graduates from even the older technological schools of the country. Through the efforts of Dr. K. a. Matbeson, president of Tech, and the generosity of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, a library has been established which la a credit to the school and of Inestimable value to the students of the Institution. The Initiative In this movement was taken as early as 1902 by Dr. Matheson, when he occupied the chair of English at the Tech. Hit Idea at that time was to secure a collection of desirable books which would prove both Instructive and entertaining to the students. Since then the library baa grown In value and Importance and Mr. Carnegie's contribution of $20,000 enabled the faculty to erect an attractive and ap propriate library building on the college campus. Because of the expense essential to suitably equip tbe building. It has been found necessary to appeal to the cltlsens of Atlanta for contri butions of hooka for tbe library, and next Friday afternoon has been designated as the time for the "book shower." While a suggestive list of books Is published in The Georgian, the accomplished librarian, Mlsa Laura Hammond, and the faculty of Tech will appreciate the donation of any good books appropriate for a college library, either relating to Action or science. It la to be hoped that the “book shower" Friday afternoon will be largely attended and that the contributions shall be generous In the ex treme. If any one interested In this admirable project should find It im possible to attend the "shower" personally, It 1»‘ to be hoped that they will not fall to send a contribution of books to Dr. Matheson, or to Miss Hammond. The result of the "hook shower" Friday afternoon should be a library so full and complete as to excite tho admiration of every col lege In the South, and which would prove an Inspiration for similar ef fort on the part of every advanced educational institution In Georgia. No one concerned about the moral and Intellectual development of the young men of the state can afford to Ignore this modest appeal for as sistance from the president and faculty of the Georgia School of Tech nology. CLEAN COLLEGE SPORTS IN THE BALANCE. A great principle la Involved In the charges brought against the foot ball team of the University of Georgia, whether tho full proof of the al legations made Is forthcoming or not, and that principle lies In the In tegrity and cleanness of college athletics. The very life of college sports Is at bar. That clean, wholesome col lege athletics, untainted with even the suspicion of professionalism, Is conducive to a sound mind In a sound body, no one even questions, and need not be defended here. Certain definite charges have been made against the honesty and squareness of the methods employed In building up a football team at the University of Georgia. Bluntly, the charge specifically made Is that pro fessional players from distant points were hired and paid In money for playing In a particular game. Tho charges were made by newspaper ' sporting writers of the highest standing. They are not the enemies of the University of Georgia—only the friends of clean college athletics. The charges were actuated by no ulterior motives. They embraced no reflection on tho faculty or the student body of the University of Georgia. Not even by Implication has there been said anything to throw suspicion on the men who guide the destinies of that great oollege. No one believe*; If there Is real substance In the charges, that the faculty had the shadow of suspicion that aught was wrong. The point is this, that for tho sake of college sports there should be the most painstaking investigation to prove or disprove the charges pre ferred. In no other way can this feeling of doubt and uncertainty in the minds of the public as to the honesty of the athletic administration of col leges all over the country be set at rest In no other way can this In tangible, and mayhap, unfounded, apprehension of questionable methods be removed. It is a misguided spirit of college pride to believe that any good can come of honors won on the Held of physical prowess by anything but the fairest and cleamest methods. There should not be even basis for the breath of suspicion, much less its substance. ‘ With a feeling of pride In the past history of tho University of Georgia, with jealous regard for her unblemished future In everything, Tho Georgian asks that no stone be- left unturned to bring out the whole and unvarnished truth In this unfortunate affair. And In tbo same con nection,, this paper adheres to the doctrine of clean, wholesome, untaint ed athletics In every college, small or large, throughout tho length and breadth of the country. . OLD GLORY’S FORTY-SIXTH STAR. The forty-sixth star gleams In Old Glory today. Oklahoma becomes a full-fledged state and takes her place among hor forty-five sisters, who give hearty welcome to the newest member of tho great family. William J. Bryan, in his notable address here during tho state fair, said that the constitution of Oklahoma was the roost perfectly drawn In strument that he had ever seen—notwithstanding the assertions of Secre tary Taft to the contrary. Oklahoma begins her statehood In the Democratic column and with statutory prohibition. In tho elections, tho people of tho two territories combined, Oklahoma and Indian Territory, declared overwhelmingly for prohibition. The now state is the only one In the forty-six with the powers of the Initiative and referendum so foil. The people will rule, and if they do not. It will not bp because full authority Is not vested in them. By I he referendum, tbo legislative body and the chief executive can be over ridden. It may never be necessary to Invoke this right, hut If it should become so, tbe people have the power. Oklahoma'begins her statehood rich, prosperous and powerful. It Is peopled’With a groat and progressive citizenship. It has vast resources of field anVT itilno. It has tremendous undeveloped resources. It has room and tho'promise-or plenty for thousands who are trilling to labor with hand and mind. And Oklahoma will come. % Georgia sends greetings today to her new sister!

CRAZED BY “DOPE” WOMAN IS VIOLENT Emaciated by tho use of "dope” and Incoherent In her talk, Almeda Johnson, a young woman, suddenly became vio lent In the matron's ward at the po lice station Friday morning and came dangerously near seriously Injuring Turnkey Jett Whitley, of the morning watch. Turnkey Whitley had Just taken a woman Into the matron's ward, when the Johnson woman, without any warning, seised a heav- cuspidor and hurled it violently at the head of the officer- Noticing the movement, the officer quickly leaped behind a door and escaped being hit. No eooner had she thrown the cuspidor than the erased woman aelied a saucer, which was lying on a table, and smashed this against the door behind which the turnkey had sought refuge. The woman was finally locked in a cell, whero she could do no further damage. She had previously been locked In the cell, but as she appeared better, had been let out Into the corri dor for exercise.
