It was gsnsrally rumored around the city that the editor of the paper, Mr. John Temple Graven, had two or three brothers-in-law engaged In tha so- called business of future dealings, and It was believed that Mr. Graves In hlf Ignorance of the true aepect of ah economic question had been led astray by these kinsmen. The Credit Men's Association ap pointed a committee and associated with that committee Mr. Harvle Jor dan, who waa requested to write the reply to The Georgian. Mr. Jordan wrote the reply from Montlcello and mailed It to ua. In his absence and Without hla knowledge, tha cartoon waa made by our orders, and tha cartoon and article ware published In The At lanta Journal at opr expenae. The cartoon waa resorted to because we lenrned (hat The Georgian, with the editorials referred to, had been tent to the members of the legislature under scaled cover, and because of the pre vious stand, pf .The Georgian these ar ticles wWre calculated to Ho our cause harm, anil we, therefore, felt entirely JustlAed In using a legitimate weapon like the cartoon.

John Temple Graves re turned yesterday from the aea coast and began at once to sling mud over the editorial 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 (he request of the Atlanta Credit Men's Association, to an editorial In The Georgian Indorsing the gambling methods of local cotton exchangee, and more particularly the New York Cotton Exchange.' There waa absolutely nothing In the article, which waa prepared over my signature, that was In any wlas offensive to the editor of The Oeorglan unlean It waa found In the exposure of the position taken by his paper'In an advocacy ot gambling In futurea through the pres< cut aystem of local wire houass. 1 expressed regret and aurprlse that the editor of Tha Georgian, who had been regarded aa a friend of the So -th em Cotton Association, especially dur ing Ills fleeting though disappointing career as a candidate for political of- Ace, should allow the editorial columns of hla puper to be used In the advO' cacy of a great evil which the law' abiding people of Georgia were using every endeavor to suppresa. I used arguments In the defense of a buslnesa and moral proposition which was en tirely acceptable to the Atlanta Credit Man's Association, and which they pub lished In connection with a cartoon which they prepared, and about wi Ich 1 knew absolutely nothing, and did not see until after It appeared In Tha At lanta Journal. The cartoon Is what seemed to have especially riled the Hon. John Temple, because It showed him up as defending the gambling In stitutions of which Ills two brothsre-tn- lepr are managers. But 1 didn't prepare the cartoon, Mr. Graves. You knew the Atlanta Credit Men's Association was 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 lees advertising, and The eGorglan wants a slice of the pie they give out to the public which commands valua ble and monetary returns? Statement of Facts. Here are the facte. If you are not posted, because they occurred while you claim to have been takings much ly needed bath In the salt water off the coast of the Carolines: I-ate In the afternoon of July It I was Invited to be present at a meeting of the At lanta Credit Men's Association. In room 104 of the Kimball House, When I arrived at this meeting the members 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 as legitimate Institutions and also the methods of the New York rottnn exchange. After a abort discussion by the members It was unanimously voted that the ed itorial In The Georgian wjs directly antagonistic to the objects and pur poses of their association In the stren uous efforts they were making to break up gambling tn futures in this state, and that the editorial In question should be bundled with gloves off. A committee of five members was ap- lanta Journal, containing not only ths full article which I had prepared, but also the cartoon which seems to have glvtn you such a aevere case ot indi gestion. The Atlanta Credit Men's Association W Mona responsible for tb* cartoon which preseated you si such bad Hght before the public, and for tho artlcls I wrote, both of which they willingly stand sponsor far. With a knowledge of. these facts. If you have arty manhood: you should at onca withdraw the dirty and contempt ible language used tq your editorial of yesterday, and direct It at ths Atlanta Credit Men's Association. It Is unfor tunate for you and your paper that you should hart used such strang and Intemperate language unwittingly to ward so large and distinguished a body of business men In Atlanta. Vain and Conesltsd. You often refer In your despicable editorial to the great amount of good work you have accomplished for ths Southern Cotton Association. You only tried to-save the country with the die -lay of an extraordinary amount of jot air and achoolboy rhetoric, while you ware an active candidate for the United states senate. We have no): heard of your aliening tha woods any and whooping tha wool-hat boya up since you saw the handwriting on tha 'wall and reluctantly lowered your po lltlcal colors. You call me a “compla cent politician.” You are right. I am complacent because I alwaya got what " ' ‘ ‘ “ ‘ ' la BRUTAL ASSAULT ON WHITE WOMAN BY CHATTANOOGA NEGR Fiend Sprang from Dark, Strik ing Unsuspecting Victim in Face. you pointed to prepare and publish the re ply to The Georgian, and 1 waa Invited I wanted politically. Whan I wai tha political arena. I shall entitle . a “disgruntled, disappointed polltl clan” because you have never been able to get anything that you wanted politically from tha people, and a num ber of times you have felt that you were called. You say that I have cost ths farmers of Georgia hundreds of thousand* of dollars Tn advocating high prices for cotton. This Is a atrange confession, and showa how absolutely Ignorant you are of practical bualnesa-affairs, caps-' daily as regards the legitimate spot cotton situation. It la well known to all large cotton dealers and mafiufac. turers that but for the hard Aght made thla wlntar for hlghar price* tha cotton grower* alt 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 mistakes and that the Southern Cotton Association has made mistakes there can be no denial, but they have been InAnlteealmal com pared with th* tremendous gains which hav* accrued to the South, con aervatlvely estimated by leading au thnritlea at (300,000,000 alone |n the price of cotton. The loesea to which you refer have been austalned through the maintenance of bucket shops and lotyii wire houses, which you are trying so hard to bolster up end which the legislatures ot Georgia and ths other states Intend to suppress. I have re celved thousands ot letters from farm era tn the past few months and spoken to thousands more and In not one let ter, or from tha Ups ot a single fanner In Georgia or elsewhere, have I aver been criticised as you Insinuate. The only people from whom you quote In your acurrllou* tirade of discontent are those engaged In operating local cot ton exchanges and bucket shops. Those who are so active In thatr Aght against the passage of the present anti-bucket shop and local exchange bill pending In ths Georgia senate. A brother-in-law of yours, Mr. Coth ran, by your own admission. Is ths local manager of Ware A Leland'a prl vate wire house, and Dr. Crawford, by his admission, la, or was, until quite recently, part owner of an Atlanta bucket shop. TheXe men can doubt less not only tell you how much money Georgia farmers have lost In dealing with their Institutions, but also give you a Hat of the Individual names and iusaea of each man. I hav* not th* honor of their acquaintance, but they seem to be boon companions At yours; leastwise you aaem to love to quote from them. I car* not to notice the contemptible Insinuation* contained In your extended effusion. They are be neath the notice of respectability and place you among that ctaaa of pigmies which are looked upon as the least and most InsIgnlAcant of God's creation. It would appear that tha editor of The Georgian Is too great to be criti cised. Filled with conceit and vanity, you utterly fall to sea yourself at others aae you. Like the gaudy pea cock, you strut th* streets, admiring your own plumage, much to the amuse ment of the public at large. Your slanderous Insinuation* that --eve In any way been connected with fi'itre gambling transactions going on In hla city, la an Intentlonaf and ms licloua falsehood, which makes It i m*~i> and cowardly attack.

Mayor Woodward received a communication from Milton H. Smith, president of the Loulsvin* and Nashville, Friday, stating that ths railroad would not accept ths condi tions in the ordinance pertaining to th* Louisville and Nashville railroad yards on East Hunter street. The ordinance, pasted 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 street. President Smith In hla communica tion states that cutting off each of th* tracks eight feet, as is provided In th* ordinance, would be a loss of 7 per cent of the car space in the yards, that an average cohl car holds 40 tons and that this would mean that the yards would be decreased In capacity 1(q tons a day or 48,000 tons In 100 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 opening! 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 the city council what It should do, has angered a number of the city officials and alto several members of council who bars seen the communication. At the present time there Is but one opening to the yards on Hunter street and one on Butler street.
