Georgia Answers Virginia.
The passage of the Jamestown exposition bill by the
hoane of rep ream ta tires on Thursday will carry genuine
auf unalloyed pleasure to the great majority of the peo
ple of Georgia—because all Georgia lores Virginia, and
the Confederate reterans and the sons and daughter*
of Confederate reterans will always Indorse any art
of appreciation and of loyalty which Georgia
to the old commonwealth whoae chief city was
the capital of the dead Confederacy.
There was nerer a bill that passed the legislature
In cleaner fashion than this Jamestown bill, which
has enlisted the support and Indorsement of the lower
house of oar general assembly.
It has been paseed without money, without lobbying,
without any unworthy argument, without an appeal to
prejudice and without any action on the part of anyone
that la susceptible to the slightest criticism In this sensi
tise period of American public life. The bill was drawn
by the Georgia commission of the Jameatown expost
tioo appointed by the gorernor. The president of that
commission la Mr. W. X. Mitchell, himself a Virginian
by birth and a gentleman of honor and of character by
Inheritance as well as by breeding. Mr. Mitchell, with
the moet patriotic enthusiasm and acting upon the high
est ethics, has been the able, eloquent and Indefatigable
friend of the bill, and Its success must primarily be cred
ited to bla splendid and tireless efforts In Its behalf. Mr.
Charles R. Russell presented the bill In the house of
representatives and has spoken In Its behalf and haa
been from the beginning vitally Interested In Its welfare.
He la to be congratulatea upon Its successful passage
through the house.
The molt eloquent speeches that have been made
In behalf of the bill have been made by Representative
Alexander, of DeKalb; Representative Anderson, of
Chatham, and representative Saffold, of Emanuel. These
and other gentlemen who have spoken In less elaborate
form, are to be congratulated upon their efforts. And,
The Georgian does not hesitate to aay that the action
of the house of representatives will be approved and
applauded by nine-tenths of the people of Georgia whom
it represents.
It Is to be regretted, however, that the full amount
of the appropriation asked—150,000—was not granted by
tne house. Georgia's representation would have been
better and her answer to Virginia's call would have been
heartier had the full sum been raised. Georgia Is rich
enough to give almost any sum, and If Georgia could be
polled today we are convinced that three-fourths of the
people would vote the larger rather than the lesser sum.
But, large or small, through this appropriation the
legislature haa spoken and If the senate shall see lit to
lend Its approval to the action of the house, we are fully
assured that Georgia wilt be ably and brilliantly repre
sented st Jamestown and that we will reap from our ex
hibit golden proflts both In the field of national develop
ment and In the richer and larger Held of patriotism and
noble sentiment

leading states of the North and the leading statesmen
the North before the republic had put on Its swaddling
clothes—the principle of the larger autonomy of the
states, which haa been uniformly upheld by the decision*
of the supreme court of the United States ever since
the civil war, and which the common sense of mankind
haa been approving ever since.
It la not necessary to aay at this late day that the
South has accepted the issues of the civil war with phi!
osophleal resignation and baa sent her own sons to shed

the death of Worth Bagley, the Southern boy who was

Collier’s on Southern Text-Books.
If the editor of Collier’s Weekly haa any definite
opinions about tha South which would be warranted to
keep over night we would like to hear them expressed
once. Just for the novelty of the thing. In some Issues
of that always Interesting and sometimes accurate mag-
axlnc the bouquet* are scattered at the feet of the South
unUl we are as fragrant as the gardens of Oul and as
Immaculate aa lilies of the valley.
At other times, when Norman of the House of Hap
good Isn't feeling very well he takes a fling at us which
would be really irritating It It were not simply ‘‘pretty
Fanny's way,” which every one has come to expect now
and then.
In the current Issue of Collier's he writes learnedly
on ‘‘Knowledge." a subject which la always dear to hit
heart. He points out that when a Russian reader see*
a page blacked out he “knows that he has been deprived
of truth.” But the thing la managed differently down
here, he say*. The truth la skillfully adulterated. A
certain textbook for public schools, he tells us, Is adorn
ed with "a picture of the log cabin In which Abraham
Lincoln was born.” For the southern trade the label
which Identified the picture with Lincoln waa removed,
and it waa marked ‘A Typical Log Cabin."' He goes
on to say that "for the Southern trade textbooks which
deal with the civil war give an account of that con
test which, must make Southern children, when they
grow up, surprised to learn that the capital of their
country la not at Richmond. Va., and at a lots to account
lor the fact that the soldiers of tbetr country wear blue
uniforms.”
We are not familiar with the textbooks In question,
but this we can aay without fear of contradiction, that
if the publisher of any textbook designed for use In
the South shies at the life and achievements of Abraham
Lincoln, and particularly slurs over the humble origin of
the great Kentuckian, he doesn't know his business as
well as such people usually do. We do not believe that
there Is a school teacher In the Southern states who
would not go out of his or her way to call attention to
the humble origin, the determination which triumphed
over all obstacles, such as are Illustrated in the life of
Abraham Lincoln. He would be, and in point of fact Is,
held up as a brave and sincere man, whose life la well
worthy of emulation. He has been slandered infinitely
more by uninformed meB of the Hapgood type than he
has ever been by the people of the South.
Nor is there a scintilla of truth in the statement
that the children of the South are put through a course
of history which would leave them to wonder. In after
years, why the soldiers of our common country wear
bins uniforms. The South simply insists, as ahe always
Harvie Jordan Should Not Appoint
His Own Committee.
We respectfully submit to Mr. Hanrle Jordan, presi
dent of the Southern Cotton AsaoctaUon, that tl
scarcely ethical for him to appoint out of hla own state
and among his own friend* a committee to preside over
the trial of hla own administration.
For Mr. Hanrle Jordan may as well understand that
he himself la on trial In the implications which involve
Richard Cheatham, bla bosom-friend, and the secretary
of the association. The closeness of the aaaoclatlon,
both personal find professional, between these two men
renders It impossible to separate one altogether from
the other, and the trial of Richard Cheatham, of the
Southern Cotton AsaoctaUon, must and does inevitably
Involve aa well the record and the rectitude of Hanrle
Jordan, the president, his Intimate friend, co-worker and
superior officer.
Nor doea it teem either propet or ethical that Mr.
Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association,
should select his own committee to Investigate the char
acter of hla administration from the single state In
which he lives. Mr. Jordan and Mr. Cheatham are not
president and secretary of the Georgia Cotton Associa
tion, but of the Southern Cotton Association, and the
charges which by Implication affect thfese men affect
also the Southern Cotton Association In the states of
Alabama, the Carolluas, Tennessee. Florida, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas. There It no prece
dent that will Justify Mr. Jordan In choosing from his
own state a committee of hla Intimate co-workers and
associates to pass upon questions which so vitally affect
the character of his admlnlstraUon and tb» prosperity
of the entire Southern Cotton Association.
Be It understood that there can be' no possible ob
jection to the personnel of the committee of three whom
Mr. Jordan ^aa named. President ,M. L. Johnson, of the
Georgia Stato Asosclation, la one of the truest and high
est types of men In Georgia. He Is above suspicion and
above reproach. Hon. John D. Walker, of Sparta, Is the
soul of honor and the pattern of public Integrity. No
man could question the-integrity of Mr. Walker's views
or of his character. And Colonel W. L. Peek, of Con
yers, Is a cltlsen of blameless and stainless repute whose
character deserves and commands the confidence of hla
fellow citlsens. But It Is too great a strain upon the
feelings, and too large a tax to lay upon the public ser
vice of these gentlemen to ask them to sit In rigid and
Impartial judgment upon friends and co-workers with
whom they have been Intimately associated for the past
several years. Every Instinct of justice and of ethlca
would auggeat that Mr. Jordan, If he haa the right to
appoint at all the committee to Investigate hla adminis
tration, should enlarge that committee to represent not
only hit own state of Georgia but the other states which
are Involved In the affairs of the Southern Cotton As
sociation.
It seems also proper that he ahould call that meet
ing. not In hla own little 10x12 personal and private
office where only a few people can be gathered to hear
the deliberations, but In a hall of such publicity and
magnitude that the public which la Interested can be
there to hear and to reach an opinion upon the Issues
Involved; and It la equally evident that he should not tax
the honorable and excellent Georgians who are hla per
sonal friend* with the embarrassment and responsibility
of deciding by themaelvea upon a great and Important
laaue In which their decision, however Impartial, would
be absolutely certain to be criticised by reason of their
personal relations with the accused administration.
We respectfully submit to Mr. Jordan, president of
the Southern Cotton Association, that the Southern cot-
tbn growers and the Southern people will not be satisfied
with a‘small session of three men, arbitrarily called by
Mr. Jordan himself In his private office to paaa upon
matters of auch Importance to so many Mt-mera and to
■o many business men, and we therefore In behalf of the
association for which we aland and in whose Interests
alone we speak, request that the widest publicity and
largest possible Jury from the Interested parties be
brought to past upon this vital question.
Nothing less will satisfy the public, and nothing
leas than this will vindicate the present administration
of the cotton association.
The fools are not all dead yet. Shortly after mid
night on a recent Saturday a number of devotees of
dancing met In a public ballroom In the Rue de la
Douane, Parts, with the object of competing In a teat
of endurance. At exactly 1 o'clock In the morning a
musician placed himself at a piano, and played waits
music without a single break until 2 o'clock on Sunday
afternoon. Meanwhile ten competitors, of whom one
was a girl of 11 year* of age, took the floor. The child
was the first to stop, having danced for four hours.
Constant Posxoll continued eleven hours; but the record
was made by Corslnl Gualtlero, who. with six con
secutive partners, waltxed without stopping until 2 in
the afternoon, or thirteen hours without a break.
Growth and Progress of the New South
Sooth wWeh determ some thing more than pas
The South’s Material Independence.
A striking Indication of the growth and progress of the South
furnished hy the*fact, presented In yesterday's issuo of The Georgian, that
five Georgia counties show an Increase of $1,122,000 In their tax returns
for the present year over the year previous. One county showed an In
crease of 20 per cent while another came forward with an Increase of 23
per cent Such figures as these cannot fall to make a strong'lmpresslon
upon any student of our commercial and Industrial development, and the
facte will become tnorfe Impressive still when the returns are all. In.
In this connection we present today some facts taken from a recent
address by Mr. Festus J. Wade, president of the Mercantile Trust Compa
ny, of 8t. Louis, one of the moet prominent and substantial of the business
men of the South. At a recent meeting of the Bankers' Association of
Tennessee he dwelt at length qn the independence of the South tn Its agri
cultural resources. Its manufacturing Industries, commercial establish-
meats and financial Institutions. He showed, what will come as a matter
of surprise, perhaps, to a number of readers, that while cotton -was still
the principal product ot the South, still only . 14 per cent of the farms of
the South now derive their principal Income from cotton. Cotton Is still
king, but there are a great many other things which Contribute to our
commercial and Industrial greatness.
The cotton production of the South has grown by leaps and bounds
since the period. 20 year* ago, when the crop was something like 7,000,
000 bales. At about that period the valuation of the crop was nearly
$300,000,000 a year. Last year It exceeded 13,000,000 bales, valued at
$(28,000,000.
Mr. Wade might have stated that the exports of cotton from 1895
to 1899 averaged $$13,378,000 per year In value. For the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1905, the exports of cotton were valued at practically
$380,000,000, while the manufactures of cotton added nearly $50,000,000
more..
Mr. Wade points out that “the home grown cotton demand by the
mills of the United States la now over 4,000,000 bales annually. In 1890
It wa* 2,325,000. Yet, notwithstanding this remarkable Increase In Cot
ton manufacturing, a large percentage ot It In the South, we are Belling
to other countries more than ever before.
"Agriculturally speaking, the southern states arc on Independent peo
ple, even of 'King Cotton.'
“Nothing will more thoroughly demonstrate the independence of the
South than the utatlstlca which show a constant and yearly Increase in
Improved term acreage. We find that the improved acreage of the farms
of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mlsslslppl.
North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, was by
the government reports as follows:
IMPROVED ACREAGE OF TWELVE SOUTHERN STATES.
1880 .... 78,083,484
1890 98.603,008
1900 107,753,679
"Let ns tee' to what conclusions our figures of production and growth
bring us:
"The marvelous Increase In the output of the manutectoriei-of certain
Southern states has been placed before, you In some detail. . If we take
only the Southern states south of the* Potomac and Ohio, not Including
West Virginia, we find that the products of their manufactories were $450,-
000,000 greater In 1900 than in 1890.
"It we take the Increase year by year from 1890 to 1905, we find that
In the aggregate they exceed $6,000,000,000.
"The value of the farm products of the same states was $600,000,000
greater In 1900 than In 1890. The Increases In term products of the South,
taken year by year, from 1890 to 1906, will be found to aggregate more
than $4,000,000,000.
"The permanent value of farm property In these states lacreased $1,-
000,000,000 In the ten years from 1890 to 1900, and at least $500,000,000
more In the five years from 1900 to 11(05.
“The deposits In the banks and trust companies were $600,000,000
greater In 1905 than In 1890.
“Add these permanent Increases of farm values and bank deposit* to
the yearly galna from manufacture* and from farm products. What I* the
result? You have an aggregate that may well itartle. Who ot us realises
the magnitude ot $12,000,000,000? By comparison, we know that this pro
duction of term and factory and these Increments on term property and
In bank deposits of the South tor fifteen years represent more than the
stock of gold, silver and paper money In the entire world today. But
better than that, we know that they represent magnificent progress to
ward the financial and Industrial Independence of this great section of
our common country."

To the Editor of The Georgian:
I read your worthy editorial fn a
recent Issue of The Georgian on "Tag
gart Should Resign," and I just want
to say that I thoroughly agree with
you In your position taken In this arti
cle. The truth Is, Mr. Taggart baa
never added very much to the Demo
cratic party aa chairman, neither has
he done us any good. It does seem to
me with the very large number of moet
excellent gentlemen they had to select
from the party should have had a man
who came nearer representing the type
of manhood of which his party Is com
posed than Tom Taggart. Yea, he
should resign by all means, and do It
quick. He is not going to do It, though.
You will see that he will stay In there
until he Is put out. The question now
Is, will those who are empowered to do
io make thts very much needed

This Georgia Indorsement (of Jerome) Is
probably due to two causes. For one thing
he Southerners do not like WUUnm X
get lid of him In 1900, and It Is altogether
probable that they would like to avoid the
necessity of nominating him fn 1909. The
other reason may be found in Jerome him
self. He is a delightful man to meet so
cially. He "stacks up well," as the Houth-
erne re ssj\ District Attorney Jerome may
not be much of a statesman, and with
Tammany opposed to him bis chances for
the Democratic nomination look slim. But
he is as much of a statesman as Bryan,
and the country would l»e a good deal safer
In his hands.—Kauses City Journal.
Evidently the Georgians took to him at

They liked his brief address—the part

the part about Hecretnry Taft, and the
