hotly contested by counsel. He. was

ming up the How of surface water and
: forming a pond which breeds mosqui

the nuisance, Mr. Healey having forced,
the water off hi* own land. The qlty,

The subjoined card from Harvle Jor
dan, whether by accident or design, did
not reach The Georgian office until too
late for editorial notice, though Mr.
Jordan himself left Atlanta early Fri
day morning for another point In the
elate, andthe card must have been
prepared previous to hi* departure. The
public play rest Maured, however, that
ths_coplmunlcat^n will reeelts what-,
ever'attention It deserve* In'the edi
torial columns of The Georgian. That
Mr. Jordan has been hard hit Is evident
from the heat and temper with which
he essays to answer The Oeorglsn's
criticism of recent ugly development*
affecting those high up In the affairs
of the Southern Cotton Association.
Mr. Jordan’s card Is prefaced with
a statement from the Atlanta Credit
Men's Association. Both are printed In
full.—Rd.
ATLANTA CREDIT MEN
MAKE STATEMENT
. The Credit Men'* Association of At
lanta, engaged In a struggle to ex
tirpate the evils of future gambling,
which Is now doing more harm to Geor
gia than all other things combined,
.wras amaxed, dumbfounded and Indig
nant to find Th* Atlanta Georgian, a
paper which had previously stood for
everything that wo* right, waa being
used as to It* editorial columns In de
fense of a certain class of future deal
ers.
It was generally rumored around the
city that the editor of the paper, Mr.
John Temple Grave*, had two or three
broihers-ln-law engaged In the so-
railed business of future dealings, and-
It was believed that Mr. Graves In hla
Ignorance of Ihe true aspect of an
economic question had been led astray
by these kinsmen.
The Credit Men's Association ap
pointed a committee ' and aasoclated
with that committee Mr. Harvle Jor
dan, who was requested to write the
reply to The Georgian. Mr. Jordan
wrote the reply from Monllcello and
mailed It to ua. fn his absence and
without hla knowledge, the cartoon waa
made by our orders, and the cartoon
and article were published In The At
lanta Journal at our expense. The
cartoon was reported to because we
learned that The Georgian, with the
editorial* referred to, had been aent to
the members of the legislature under
sealed rover, and because of the pre
vious stand of Th* Georgian these ar
ticles were calculated to do our cause
harm, and we, therefore, felt entirely
Justified In using a legitimate weapon
like the cartoon.
Mr. Jordan never saw or had any
knowledge whatsoever of the rartoon
until It appeared In print, and this
association assume* full responsibility
for It.

HARVIE JORDATci CARD
SHOWS MUCH TEMPER
The Horn John Temple Graves re
turned yesterday from the sea coast
and began at once to allpg tnud over
the edltorlil pages of (The Atlanta
Georgian In a thoroughly uncalled-for
tirade of abuse and ungentlemanly In
sinuations because of a reply which I
wrote recently, at the requeat of the
Atlanta Credit Men's Association, to
an edltorlhl In The Georgian Indorsing
the gambling methods of local cotton
exchanges, and more particularly the
New York Cotton Exchange. There
wa* absolutely nothing In the article,
which was prepared over my signature,
that wa* In any wise offensive to the
editor of The Georgian pnles* It wa*
found In the exposure of the position
taken by til* paper In an advocacy of
gambling In futures through the pres
ent system of local wire house*.
1 expressed rqgrrt and Surprise that
the editor of The Georgian, who had
been regarded as a friend of the South
ern Cotton Association, especially dur
ing his fleeting though disappointing
career as a candidate for political of
fice, should allow the editorial columns
of his paper to be used In the advo
cacy of a great evil which the law-
ablillng people of Georgia were using
every endeavor to suppress. I used
arguments In tbs defense of a business,
and moral proposition which was en
tirely acceptable to the Atiartta Credit
Men's Association, and which they pub
lished In connection' with a cartoon
which they prepared, and about which
I knew absolutely nothing, and did not
see until after K appeared In The At
lanta Journal. The cartoon I* what
seemed to have especially riled th*
lion. John Temple; because It showed
him up as defending the gambling In
stitutions of which hi* two brothers-lp-
law are manager*. Hut I didn't prepare
the cartoon, Mr. Graves. You knew
Ihe Atlanta Credit Men's Association
wo* responsible for both the article
and cartoon, but you had only kind
and complimentary words for them.
Why? Was It because they do more
or less advertising, and The eGorglan
wants a slice of the pie they give out
to the public which command* valua
ble and monetary, tpturne?
Statement of Facte,
Here are the .facts. If you are not
posted, because, they occurred, while
you claim to have beep taking a much
ly needed .bath tin «the salt water off
th* coast of the Carolina*. Late In
the afternoon of July It I wa* Invited
to be present at a meeting of the At
lanta Credit Men's Association, In room
104 of the Kimball House. When
arrived at this meeting the member*
of that association were discussing an
editorial which had that afternoon ap
peared In The Georgian, strongly in
dorsing and advocating the'local cot
ton exchanges In Atlanta a* legitimate
Institutions aiid also the methods of
the New York eotton exchange. After
a short discussion by the members It
wa* unanimously voted that the ed
itorial In The Georgian was directly
antagonistic to the objects and pur
poses of their association In the stren
uous efforts they were making to break
up gambling In futures in this state,
and that the editorial In question
should be handled with glove* off. A
committee of five member* was ap
pointed to prepare and publish the re
ply to The Georgian, and 1 was Invited
to assist the committee In the prepara
tion of the article. This I agreed to do
and have no regrets or apologies to
make to you or anyone els* far rthe
part I played. .
Nothing was said about f cartoon. J
left the city that night and went down
to my plantation In Jasper county,
where I remained several days. While
at home In the country the next day I
wrote the article at which you have
taken so much offense ahd mailed tt
back to the committee of the Credit
Men's Association, with the request to
ua* such part* of It a* they saw fit In
the final preparation of th* article
they wanted to publish. That closed
my connection with the Incident. Three
days later I received a copy of the At
lanta Journal, containing not only th*
full article which I had prepared, but
alio the cartoon which seems to have
given you such a severe case of Indi
gestion.
The Atlanta Credit Men's Association
I* alone responsible for the cartoon
which presented you in such bad light
before the public, and for th* article
I wrote, both of which they willingly
stand sponaor Tor. V * .
With a .know!edge of tftes*. facts. If
you have any manhood you should at
once withdraw the dirty and* contempt-
Ible language used to your editorial of
yesterday, and direct It at th* Atlanta
Credlt^Men's Association. It Is unfor
tunate for you and your paper that
you ehould have used such strong and
Intemperat* language unwittingly to
ward so large and distinguished a body
of business men In Atlanta.
Vain and Conceited.
Ypu often refer In your despicable
editorial to the great amount of good
work you have accomplished for the
Southern Cotton Association. You only
trldd Co save the country.with the dis
play of an extraordinary amount of
not air and schoolboy rhetoric, while
you were an active candidate for the
United Btatea senate. We have not
heard of your shelling the woods any
and whooping the wool-hat boy* up
since you saw the handwriting on the
wall anil reluctantly lowered your po
litical color*. You call me a •‘compla
cent politician.” You are right. I aifi
complacent because I always got what
I wanted politically, when I was In
the political arena. I ahall entitle you
a "disgruntled, disappointed politi
cian” because you have never been
able to get anything that you wanted
politically from th* people, and a num
ber of times you have felt that you
were called.
You say that I'have cost the farmers
of Georgia hundreds of thousands of
dollars In advocating high pries* for
cotton. . This Is a strange confession,
and shows how absolutely Ignorant you
are of practical business affairs, espe
cially a* regards th* , legitimate spot
cotton situation. It Is well known to
all largs cotton dealers and manufac
turer* that but for the hard fight I
made this winter for higher price* the
cotton grower* all over the South
would have been forced to market their
cotton at from $5 to $10 per bale lower
than they received.
That 1 have made mistake* and that
the Southern Cotton Association ha*
made mistakes there can be no denial,
but they have been Infinlteaslmsl com
pared with the tremendous gain*
which have accrued to the South, con
aervatlvely estimated by leading au
thorltle* at $100,000,000 alone In the
price of cotton. The, losaes to which
you refer have been sustained through
the maintenance of bucket shops and
local wire houses, which you are trying
so hard to bolster up and which the
legislatures of Georgia and the other
state* Intend to suppress. I have re
ceived thousands of letters from farm
ers In the past few months and spoken
to thousands more and In not one let
ter, or from th# Ups of n single farmer
In Georgia or elsewhere, hav* 1 ever
been criticised as you Insinuate. The
only people from whom you quote In
your scurrilous tirade of discontent are
those engaged In operating local cot
ton exchanges and bucket shops. Those
who are so artlve In their fight against
the passage of th* present anti-bucket
shop and local exchange bill now
pending in the Georgia senate.
A brother-in-law of yours, Mr. Coth
ran, by your own admission, Is the
local manager of Ware A Leland’s pri
vate wire house, and Dr. Crawford, by
his admission. Is, or was, until quite
recently, part owner of an Atlanta
bucket shop. These men can doubt
less not only tell you how much money
Georgia farmer* have lost In dealing
with their Institutions, but also give
you a list of the Individual names and
loasea of each man. I have not th*
honor of their acquaintance, but they
seem to be boon companions of yours;
leastwise you seem to love to quote
from them. I care not to notice the
contemptible Insinuations contained In
your extended effusion. They are be
neath the notice of respectability and
place you among that class of pigmies
which are looked upon as the least and
most Insignificant of Ood's creation.
It would appear that the editor of
The Georgian Is too great to be criti
cised. Filled with eoncMt and vanity,
you utterly fall to see yourself as
others see you. Like the gaudy pea
cock, you etrflt the,street*, admiring
your own plumage, much to,the amuse
ment of • the public at large.
Your slenderou* Insinuations that 1
have In any way been connected with
future gambling transaction* going on
In this city, is an Intentional and ma
licious falsehood, which makes It a
mean and cowardly attack.

L. & X. President Wants to Dic
tate Terms to City'
. Council. ' a
It seems Inevitable that the Louis*
vllle and Nashville railroad and th*
city of Atlanta will soon be mixed up
In lively litigation. Mayor Woodwaid
received a communication from Milton
H. Smith, president of the Louisville
and Nashville, Friday, stating that th*
railroad would not accept the condi
tions In the ordinance pertaining to th*
Louisville and Nashville railroad yards
on East Hunter street.
The ordinance, passed at the last ses
sion of council after several months of
pow-wowing between the officials of
the city and of the railroad, allows
three openings on East Hunter street
to the yards and one on Butler streak
President Smith In hla communica
tion states that cutting off each of th*
tracks eight feet, as Is provided In tha
ordinance, would be a loss of 7 par
cent of the car space In the yards, that
on average coal car holds 40 tons and
that this would mean that the yards
would be decreased In capacity 140
tons a day or 48.000 tona In 200 days.
He further states that moving back
the tracks from the sidewalk would
mean a loss of 3.600 square feet of th*
yards and suggests as a substitute for
the ordinance that four more openings
be allowed and that the tracks remain
up against the sidewalk.
This suggestion of the president of
the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
which really amounts to telling th* city
council what It should do, has angered
a number of the city officials and also
several members of council who hav*
seen the communication.
At tbe present time there Is but one
opening to the yards on Hunter street
and one on Butler street. Mayor
Woodward said Friday that, as Presi
dent Smith had refused to comply with
the ordinance, the yard would remain
aa It now la with only the two open
ings until the matter la settled In th*
courts. •
There la some possibility of the
Louisville and Nashville’s attempting
to remove the Jjarriers. If such an ef
fort Is madAthe street will be petrolled
by the city police and by force the
railroad men will be detained from
carrying out any such project.
