Mr. Hopkins' Letter.
To this Mr. Hopkins replied as fol
lows Wednesday morning:
“Atlanta, Oa., June 6, 190*.
“Mr Reuben R. Arnold, Chairman Ful
ton County Hoke Smith Club.
"car sir; I have your coromunlca
tlnn of the 5th Inst. All of the sug
gestions. which substantially embody
out Interview of yesterday, are entirely
act • i .ible to me, with two exceptions.
'■First. I think It would be far more
preferable to the public to have these
gentlemen debate upon terms of per
fect .quality, and without any obliga
tion li ming from one to the other. We
would very greatly prefer to pay one-
heir f all the expeneee of every char
acter.
1 u> do not desire that the burden
of i nlntalntng order should be placed
exclusively upon your club. We wtah
to slmra thla responsibility.
K “Second. I think It would be prefer-
able to have the audience In front
xi here neither speaker would be em-
liai raseed by applause from both front
nnil roar. Applauae from the rear
would particularly affect the mnllrnce's
shinty to hear the speaker's words.
You will recall that the hall Is very
large and Us acoustic properties are
probably poor.
“A small, quiet, honorary escort. I
submit, would give a more satisfactory
meeting to all.
lint It Is tha desire of both Mr.
How - II and myself that all details
should be promptly determined without
extensive negotiations.
■ Therefore, If the two points of dlf-
feri m e named above should be still
adhered to by you and your club, we
xi in waive them and accept your terms.
I would appreciate It aa a favor If
you would let me have the tickets al
iened to us as early during the day as
t> convenient to you.
' With kindest regards. I am.

At Te Arrangements.
| W. D. Harwell, chairman of the com-
Bnlttee on arrangements, gave out the
ling statement:
i Editor of The Georgian:
*• announce through your col-
Special te The Georgian.
Sxvanah, Oa., June fi.—William R.
Hammond, of Atlanta, addressed the
students of the Georgia School for Cob
ored Youths here at 11 o'clock this
morning. Mr. Hammond's speech was
In the nature of a reply to the speech
delivered here a year ago by Booker
T. Washington and dealt largely with
the race problem in the South. He
dealt with the grievances of the negro
from three standpoints, social, politi
cal and Industrial.
After announcing the subject upon
which he would base his remarks, Mr.
Hammond laid:
“This problem la not essentially dif
ferent from any other human problem.
It Is much like those we meet every
day In our contact with our fellow
men. Every Individual of tlie race |a
a problem to himself and to those who
come In frequent contact with him. It
Is always a question as to bow bo may
adjust himself to others, and their
lives to hit, so as to avoid friction and
promote harmony. Life la a constant
succession of compromises and adjust
ments, and the man Is wise whr, recog
nises this truth, and who seeks to ap
ply It In such a manner aa to promote
Mo own welfare and that of society.
How each of us may do thla la worthy
of our best thought and effort."
In discussing these phases of the
race problem Mr. Hammond said:
"The negro claims that he does not
have a fair chanre In the business
world. Ho says that he Is shut out
from the best places by the white man.
I do not Brink he Is much Inclined to
complain of this, but nevertheless It Is
one of his grievances. Of course he
has no Just cause of complaint unless
It Is true that he la shut out on ac
count of his race or color. Theoreti
cally all avenues of business are open
to him, but practically he cannot en
ter them. Of thla he does not com
plain. His remedy Is to enter where
he ran, and wait. This will adjust It
self In the natural order of thlnga In
the future. There efe Instances, but they
are fewer In the South than else
where, where he Is shut out from
lucrative employment by labor organi
sations. Of thla he has a Just right
to complain, but his best course, here
aa always, la to appeal to the sense of
honor of the man or class who docs
him Injustice. Every honest man will
do the right and fair thing If you will
give him time. *
"The negro social status Is one of hie
relevances. I do not think- he troubles
ilmaelf as much about this as some of
his friends do, but It Is nevertheless a
cause of Irritation. He cannot fully
understand why the white man should
be so persistently exclusive on social
questions. He does not went to In
vade (he home of the white man, or
thrust himself offensively Into hie
presence, but he asks for equal ac
commodatlona In hotels and sleeping
care and aueh places. He Is exceed
ingly patient and good natured on these
questions, and has really provoked the
admiration of the white man for hie
excellent spirit, but he has a grievance
here which needs attentive and
thoughtful consideration. I do not
not know how public opinion will
shape Itself; It would be unwise for
any man lo predict; but I do know
that If the patient spirit of the negro
continues to manifest Itself, that tbe
time will come when the sense of Jus
tice and fairness of the white man will
bring him to a proper recognition of
the negro's rights In this regard, and
that eventually there will be found a
solution of this vexed question alike
satisfactory to both races.
“The negro's duty Is clear; and he
seems to be meeting It In a manly and
patient spirit. Let him bide his time
and wall. Let him remove all cause
of Irritation and poeeee* his soul In
the most perfect patience. Let him be
found continually making advances all
along the line: hero a little and there
a little; and we may be euro that the
children and grandchildren of this
generation will, somehow, find them
selves much nearer the solution of the
question of the social relations be
tween the races than we are. Let the
negro advance himself to as high
plane In the social world as he can
possibly reach, and let every good
white man help him, and then If he can
get upon as high a plane as the white
man he certainly will have solved the
question of sodsl equality, though no
man ran say there will ever be social
unity of the two races. God made
them as they are; and who can say
that Is not what It should be? We
canot solve these questions now, but
we ran put our faith In Ood, and our
hope In the future, with full assurance
that all will be well. 'Ephraim will
not envy Judah and Judah will not
vex Ephraim,’ but all will dwell to
gether In brotherly love and unity.
“The next great grievance of the
negro la In regard to hla political
rights. Why can he not exercise them
under the constitution nnd laws of the
country? Way does the white man
Insist on saying that he shall take no
part In making and administering the
laws of the land? Why Is not his
right to vote recognised, or his voice
^ i-mltted to be heard In public places?
there Just cause of complaint here?
Is there a remedy?
"These are momentous questldhs, and
should be answered with the most per
fect candor and truth, and with entire
freedom from prejudice and passion.
And right here 1 want to assert my
belief that the time will come when the
full political rights of the negro will
be recognised by the white man of the
South—the only man whose recognition
of them will be worth a cent lo the ne
gro. And this part of ths problem be
fore us resolves Itself Into the quea
tlon whether the negro Is willing to
undertake to secure this recognition
from his white neighbor and friend.
“It le the height of unwisdom for the
negro to expend hts energies and con
sume his time In denunciation of the
White man on this account; and It
sheer folly for the friends of the negro,
who simply know him as a member of
the human family, but without close
personal acquaintance, to keep up the
agitation which has already had, to a
large degree, the disastrous effect of
causing an alienation between .the
negro and his white friends at the
South. Anything la deplorable whlcb
causes a separation of feeling between
those who live neighbors to each oth
er, and this Is especially true where
the neighbors belong to different races.
The most cruel thing that ever hap
pened to a race of people was the
rouroe of conduct of those friends of
the negro, who, viewing bis situation
and surroundings from a distance, and
misjudging th* tamper and spirit of the
white people of the South, assumed the
guardianship of what they called the
nation's ward, and undertook to regu
late, by a constitutional amendment,
mated north. of Mason and Dlxon'i
Ine, the civil rights of the negro, and
upon whom he was dependent for the
sympathy and co-operation so much
needed by him In the early beginnings
of his new Ilf*. There were those In the
to say so, and the hopeless minority
has swelled Into an overwhelming ma
jority, boding no III to the negro, but
only good; for when the responsibility
for the moral, social and political re
generation and upbuilding of the negro
ahalt be thrown back fully upon the
Bouthero white people, they will rise
to meet the emergency with a spirit
which wilt command (ha admiration of
the world, and provoke n feeling of the
liveliest satisfaction In the minds of
the friends of humanity everywhere!

upon no single article In the family
dletry so greatly depends ihe health
and well-being of Its members. The
supplying to the public of pure milk
one of the most Important factor* I
any community. The Pure Milk and
Food Company of this city supplies un
adulterated milk and kindred foods.
Tho company was organised the first
of the present year, and on March ■
began business In a building erected
for Its sole use at No. 66 Ivy street.
The building Is open at all times
public Inspection. It 1* a model
cleanliness, and adapted to the pur
poses for which It Is used. The floor*
of each room are built of reinforced
concrete and the walla are of hard
white finish, with every operating room
so arranged that hose esn be turned
on the entire apartment for cleanaln,
purposes. It was built without regari
to coat, but with a view of obtaining
a plant where the purety of the prod
uct can be sustained.
Object of Company.
Having been extensively engaged
tji* production and wholesale distil
button of milk and Its products, sup>
plying Georgia and Florida points,
company of milk dealers of McDon
ough, Ga., formed a corporation with
J. H. Newman as president end estab
llshed the business. Twenty-two de
livery wagons are employed dally In
supplying the customers with pure
mtlk, and 4,000 families are visited
each day.
. The dallies of the company are un
der the care and supervision of A. N.
Brown, who I* experienced In the de
tails of modern dairying. The barns
are especially constructed os to ven
tilation and cleanliness and the small
army of laborers are required to be
neat and clean. The large herds of cat'
tie, thoroughbreds and high-grade Jer
aeys, are separated on the .several
farms of the company and fed with
the brat and richeat varieties of food,
feeding for the most of the year upon
meadow' lands through which run
stream* of fresh, clear water. In milk
ing. care lx token to Inaure cleanll
ness and purity.
The milk la cooled Immediately after
milking. It la then brought to the
creamery from tha several farms
throughout northern Georgia. It Is
consolidated, packed carefully.ln Ice for
shipment and forwarded on first ex
press to tho plant In Atlanta. About
one hour Is consumed In transport*
tlon.
After arrival each can la sampled
and a test mado for percentage of
cream anti other solids. The milk Is
emptied Into a large agitating vat,
where It Is mixed, from which It Is
passed Into a machine end warmed to
ts normal temperature, which Is nec
essary In order to remove all foreign

J" substances. It then passes Into a clarT

This Is the secret of the pure products

white and absolutely pure fluid then
peeees Into a bottling machine, which
taa a capacity of 5,(00 .bottles an hour,
where It ls at once seeled and placed
In cold storage and kept ready for dis
tribution during the day. Absolutely

Sterilizing Bottles.
The method of washing and sterilis
ing bottlea Is novel and perfect The
bottle* are filled with a solution of hot
water and alkalL which cuts and die

section of the same machine where all
particles are removed, then rinsed In

ion where they ere sterilised. The

The delivery eyalem has been organ-
ted with the main purpose of serving
the patrons with promptness.- Begin
ning three months ago with only a few
wagons, on Tuesday of this week two
more were added, making a total of
twenty-two leaving the building each
morning at 4 o'clock. Every section
of the etty Is covered by the wagons,
only one trip each day being mode. A
retail counter Is maintained at the
J ilant for tboae who may wish to call
or the supply.
Philanthropic Work,
A description of tho plant and Its
methods of doing business would be
far from complete wltboat a notice of
the free mtlk distributed dally. In At.
lanta, as In every city of any else,
there are a great many children whose
parents, through misfortune, are un
able to provide those necessities that
are required In hours of sickness. They
such times especially need a pur*
quality of milk and to auch as bring a
certificate from a physician are fur
nished milk of the best quality free,
other worthy people are often tar
nished milk dally without recompense.
Company Makes Addition.
After selling milk at retail In Atlan-
for about a year the Belmont dairy
Smyrna, Ga. has announced that It
not satisfied with tbe results and
having made arrangement* to ship Its
entire product elsewhere the manage
ment discontinued Its extensive busi
ness In Atlanta on Wednesday morn
ing.
For the convenience of the customers
of the Belmont farm arrangements
have been completed whereby the cus
tomer* will be supplied for the present
by the Pure Milk and Food company
until they have aa opportunity to make
other arrangement* If they desire. In
a circular letter distributed Wednesday
morning, tbe proprietors of the Bel
mont farm suggest that just at this
tlms It would be wise for all patrons
use milk whleh has been pasteurised
and thus escape danger from typhoid
