By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK. June 24. Do you ever
F » *®el iliat if only you were In some one
-Ise’s shoes you could do as you liked.
' that you would have to submit to no
1 bossing, that you would be entirely
“free?” Have you ever envied the mil
lionaires. whom you supposed to be mas
ters of all they surveyed? Or. to put it
differently, did you not when a child
fancy that all power resided in your
parents. that they were supreme, un
trammeled, absolutely free-will agents?
And then did not the teacher also become
an autocrat, a being to be envied? Later
It was learned that these had to submit
’n certain restraints, but there were the
rich who beyond question had to bow the
neck to nobody. And are there not some
among us who still imagine that there
are thousands of the financially elect who
have no masters?
The truth is that no one but a cipher
least of all the big people -can boast
of immunity from overlordship of some
form, We are all, from the least to the
greatest, servants. Not one of us is a
master ungoverned, unchecked, answer
able to nobody.
• ♦ •
Long ago I preserved a newspaper cut
ting with the caption, “The Endless Chain
f<f Authority.” I have repeatedly meant
to write on the subject, for if employees
could only realize . that their employers
* are no more free perhaps much less so—
than themselves they would harbor fewer
feelings of resentment, of dissatisfaction
over, the sceme of things and of un
charitableness toward those “higher up.”
Then yesterday I read an article which
expressed the right sentiment so forceful
ly that I could not refrain f»om discuss
ing it. Here is the pointed extract:
There is one thing that servants
do not seem to appreciate, namely,
that while they must jump at, the
ring of the bell, all of us must jump
it o the rings of our bells. We all
have some others pressing the hutton
for us. no matter how comfortable
and luxurious our environment may
seem.
That statement comes from whom,
think you? From the acknowledged
leader of New York’s fashionable society,
from the head of the Four Hundred, from
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish. Fancy a lady oc
cupying such station frankly admitting
that she must jump at the ring of the
bell, just as the humblest of her maids
must do! How many house servants,
bow many shop girls, how many tele
phone operators, how many married
women in poorer circumstances ever con
reived that even the greatest of society
/ headers had io jump at the ring of a
bell? Yet if is eternally true. And not
k ~ one whit more true of plutocratic ladies
,k . than e ’l” aJ, y plutocratic men.

mission to increase the amount from $250.-
000 to $1,000,000 will be made to the state

The addition to the capital was author
ized by a meeting of the stockholders of
the company late Saturday- afternoon,
when over three-fourths of the outstand
ing stock was represented at a meeting
held in the company's offices in Atlanta.
At the session a new hoard of directors
was als»» elected, to serve one year. The

TO SEEK ABOLITION OF

man of the Eloyd county Democratic

hilt class jump. Nor are the strongest
of our corporations immune. The rail
roads have had to jump pretty lively,
and certain gigantic industrial combina
tions are also being put through their
nates.
• * ♦
You are as much J. P. Morgan’s boss as
he is yours.
"Tn theory only," you may reply. Well,
it is your own fault if you are not so
in practice also, for you are responsible
for law-making and no capitalist can
defy a law which the mass of the people
insist upon being obeyed. If through your
laziness, your indifference, your neglect
of civic duties matters have gone awry,
then <l<> not seek to transfer the blame to
another's shoulders Happily, ine people
are coming to realize their rights. Bui
let them not. forget their responsibilities.
And -this is the point I would seek to
emphasize—do not act on the assump
tion that the capitalists, the directors
and presidents of railroads, the man
agers of industrial corporations live in a
world different from your own. that they
have no bells to bother them, that for
them life is one long, sweet song. More,
if they do not answer the bell satis
factorily they can not hold their jobs.
If they do not faithfully SERVE lhe
public, the,'* are elbowed aside sooner or
later. In these latter days it Is sooner
rather than later.
» ♦ ♦
Millions filched illicitly from the public
do not yield satisfying dividends. If the
bell rung by conscience be not answered,
no walls of gold are thick enough to keep
out the sound. So that those who “get
away with it" need not be envied by the
rest of us who are servants.

Some who are given to growling and
whining, to foolishly thinking the man
higher up has no boss, may find com
fort in this description, by a railroad
president, of the endless chain of author
ity:
“When I was a brakeman I thought
(bat when I got to be conductor I cer
tainly would have something to say. But
when I became a conductor I discovered
that the trainmaster had the say. So.
I aspired to he a trainmaster. In that
position I found the superintendent block
ing my self-assumed authority. As a
superintendent, 1 was answerable to (he
general manager By the time I arrived
at the latter position I surely believed
that my sway would only be limited by
my desire, but there was the president
as my supreme boss. In good time I be
came the head of the road, and then it
was the board of directors that passed
upon my actions About the only thing
left was to become a director. Now 1
am on the board of several corporations
and the powers still higher up often play
the Hines to which directors fiance."
« ♦ ♦
Have you forgotten what happened
when Hie Lord, moved by ceaseless com
plaining. summoned all the people and
told them to throw their troubles on one
heap? Each one was then told to pick
out the lightest be could find. And. to
the last man. every one selected his own!

bine to Pud Prices Down.
NEW YORK. June 24.—Disappointing
Liverpool cables and liberal selling, oc
casioned by the weather map, affected our
market on the opening with a tiecline of
3 to 9 points. Liverpool cables market
declined in consequence of favorable
weather and selling orders from the con
tinent.
During the first half-hour the market
developed a/firm tone on the report Is
sued by Cordill. who is out with report
on piwt of Georgia, noi so good as ex
pected.
After the vail, scattering covering and
buying tor the New Orleans accounts
brought about a rally, carrying prices 1
(o 6 points above the opening. This rally
only lasted a few minutes and the mar
ket became weak, due to the favorable
weather condition over the belt, and the
government predicting another week of
good weather, and the market shown a
backward trend with prices sagging back
to the opening. The bears anticipate still
lower prices before the close. The buy
ing power was moderate and scattered.
Spot houses shown good demand for
spots, however, there was very little for
sale, the belief is that spots have almost
petered out.
At the close the market was steady
with prices unchanged to 5 points lower
than the Saturday’s close.

HAYWARD 4 CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. June 24. Weather
conditions over Sunday were favorable
Dry, warm weather prevailed in the east
ern states, while light to moderate scat
tered showers covered central and west
ern states. The dreaded heat wave did
not materialize, on the contrary, Wash
ington predicts another weak of favorable
weather: generally fah with norma) tem
peratures.
Liverpool was about 5 points lower than
due. but promptly followed the rally In
New York. Spots 3 points lower. An old
farmer and glnner, over 80 years in the
same locality.‘writes from a point in south
Texas: "Crop immense; best of my rec
ollection. Already many half-grown bolls
and blooming all over, while growing
continually. Already 2 to 3 feet high.
No insects at all. Not a weevil can be
found. An English buyer who left for
Liverpool Saturday offered 50 cents for a
weevil during the whole week without
getting any even after raising his limit to
sl. Think of over five-million for Texas
assured. Plenty of old cotton in our com
presses yet, which people now think of
selling.”
A farmer writes from Arkansas that a
six-hundred-acre place which, on April 17
was overflowed, now has a good crop. The
market opened easier, but was soon
strongly supported and rallied. The fact
that the least apparently unfavorable
crop report even if unimportant, is being
given preference over the volume of good
reports and facts, shows bullish indica
tions prevailing.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal says:
Rains over the western part of the cotton
belt and clear open weather in the East J
made the past week a good one on the
cotton crop. Progress was made, general I
ly speaking, both in plant growth and cul- !
tivatfon. although, in plant, growth, some- 1
what retarded, (he former by unseasona
bly low temperatures and the latter by
rains. In the west, where most of the
rains of the week fell, lhe soil was al
ready at a high state of cultivation and
the fields were clean. In that part of
the belt the week was unusually favora
ble, as the moisture the crop received was
just the one thing that is needed. All
over Oklahoma. Texas and Arkansas,
heavy rain fell, and good general rain fen
in Arkansas. Louisiana, Mississippi and
Tennessee. In all these states, cultiva
tion is well advanced. In the east
progress was made, due to open weather,
although temperatures were too cool for
the best results of the plant.

STATE EXPERTSAYS
COTTON CROP WILL

E. Lee Worsham, state entomologist,
who has just completed a trip over the
state, is not impressed with Georgia's
prospects for a good, big cotton < > p.
Mr. Worsham took a decidedly pes
simistic view of cotton conditions in
general today, asserting that If the

The recent Intrusion of the army
worm, however. Mr. Worsham said, nad

Northwestern receipts were *272 care
and Winnipeg 236. compared with 326 and
266 cars, respectively, a year ago.
The English markets were easier in
wheat. Livrepool being lower and
London reported wheat on passage as I.u»d
to 3d lower.
There was a sharp vpturn It? the price
of wheat at Paris, where gains were
shown <>f ’ t e to 2%c and flour unchanged
to 3c higher.
There is a bull party in corn and that
cereal is likely to hold well, although the
weather conditions are against the pres
ent prices
World’s shipments for the week were
large at 8.472,000 bushels, compared with
9,123.000 bushels the previous week and
5,035.000 bushels a year ago.
