But he canliot make him drink without he will. —Haywood. Georgia Answers Virginia. Tho passage of the Jameatown expoeltlon bill by the house of representatives on Tburaday will carry genuine and unalloyed pleasure to the great majority of the peo ple of Georgia—because all Georgia lovei Virginia, and the Confederate veteran* and the ions and daughters of Confederate veteran* will alwaya Indorse any evl dene* of appreciation and of loyalty which Georgia shows to the old commonwealth whose chief city was the capital of the dead Confederacy. There was never u bill that passed the legislature In cleaner fashion than this Jamestown bill, which has enlisted the support and Indorsement of the lower house of our general assembly. It has been passed without money, without lobbying, without any unworthy argument, without an appeal to prejudice and without any action on the part of anyone that le susceptible to the slightest criticism In this sensi tive period of American public life. The bill was drawn by the Georgia commission of the Jamestown exposl tlon appointed by the governor. The president of that commission is Mr. W. N. 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 moat 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 his splendid and tireless efforts In Its behalf. Mr. Charles R. Russell presented the bill In the house of representatives and baa spoken In Its behalf and has been from the beginning vitally Interested In Its welfare. He is to be congratulated upon Its successful passage through the house. The most eloquent speeches that have been made In behalf of the bill have been made by Representative Alexander, of DeKalb; Representative AnderBon, of Chatham, and 'Representative Snffolil, of Emanuel. Those and other gentlemen who have spoken In less elaborate form, are to he congratulated upon their, efforts. And, The Georgian does not hesitate to say 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 la to be regretted, however, that the full amount of the appropriation asked—$50,000—was not granted by tne house. Georgia’s representation would have been better and her anawer to Virginia’s call would have been, heartier had the full sum been raised. Georgia It rich enough to give almost any sum, and It Georgia could bo polled today we are convinced that three-fourths of tho people would vote the larger rather than the leaser sum. But, large or small, through this appropriation the legislature haa spoken and If the aenato shall see lit to lend Its approval to the action of the honae, we are fully assured-that Georgia will be ably and brilliantly repre sented at Jameatown and that wo will reap from our ex hibit golden profits both In the Held of national develop ment and In the richer and Inrger Hold of patriotism and noble sentiment. has Insisted, and will always Insist, that her children shall not be taught that their fathers were rebel* and traitors. She insists that they shall know the truth aa It la and not aa men like Hapgood would have them see It, namely, that the people of the South went to war for a principle of government which was espoused by the leading states of the North and the leading statesmen of the North before the republic had put on Its swaddling clothe*—the principle of the larger autonomy of A* states, which has been uniformly upheld by the decision* of the supreme court of the United State* ever since the civil war, and which the common sente of mankind baa been approving ever since. It It not necessary to say at this late day that the South has accepted the Issue* of the civil war with phil osophical resignation and haa sent her own sons to shed their blood In the cause of our common country, from the death of Worth Bagley, the Southern boy who was the first victim of the Spanlsh-Americsn war, to the death of the latest Southern private In the guetrilla war fare of the Philippine*. Theie would be no talk of rebellion, and no neces sity to guard the truth of history In our textbooka, if it were not for such cheerfully Irresponsible critics a* Hapgood. Collier’s on Southern Text-Books. It the editor of Collier’s Weekly haa any definite opinions about the South which would be warranted to keep over night we would like to hear them expressed once, Jnst tor the novelty of tho thing. In some issues of that alwaya Interesting and sometimes accurate mag azine the bouquets are scattered at the feet of the South unUI we are aa fragrant at the gardens of Out and as Immaculate aa Hites of the valley. At other tlmea, when Norman of the House of Hap good Isn’t feeling very well he takes a fling at us which would be really Irritating If It werja not simply ‘‘pretty Fanny’s way," which every one has come to expect now and then. In the current laaue of Conifer's he writes learnedly on ’’Knowledge,'' a subject which la alwaya dear to hit heart He points out that when a Russian reader sees a page blacked out he ‘'knows that he has been deprived of truth." But the thing la managed differently down hare, he says. 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 was removed, and It was 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 loss to account for the fact that the soldiers of tbetr country wear blue uniforms.” We are not familiar with the textbooks In question, bnt this we can say without fear of contradiction, that If the publisher of any textbook designed for use In the South shies at the life and achievements ot Abraham Lincoln, and particularly slurs over the humble origin of the great Kentuckian, be doesn't know his business as well as such people usually do. We do not believe that there la a school teacher In the Southern stales 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 ot Abraham Lincoln. He would be, and In point of fact Is, held up as a brave and sincere man, whose life Is well worthy of emulation. He has been slandered Infinitely more by uninformed men of the Hapgood type than ho 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 blue uniforms. The South simply Insists, as she always Harvie Jordan Should Not Appoint His Own Committee. We respectfully submit to Mr. Harvie Jordan, presi dent of the Southern Cotton Association, that it is scarcely ethical for him to appoint out of his own state and among .his own friends a committee to preside elver the trial of hie own administration. For Mr. Harvie sfordan may as well understand that he himself Is on trial in the Implication! which Involve Richard Cheatham, his bosom friend, and the secretary of the association. The closeness of the association, both personal and professional, between these two men readers It Impossible to separate one altogether from the other, and the trial ot Richard Cheatham, of the Southern Cotton Association, must and does Inevitably Involve as well the record and the rectitude of Harvie Jordan, the president, his Intimate friend, co-worker and superior officer. Nor does It seem either proper or ethical that Mr. Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association, should select hit own committee to Investigate the char acter ot hi* administration from the ilngl* state In, which he Uvea. Mr. Jordan and Mr. Cheatham are not president and secretary of the Georgia Cotton Assoclir tlon/ but ot the Southern Cotton Association, and the charges which by Implication affect these men affect also the Southern Cotton Association In the states of Alabama, the Carolines, Tennessee, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas. There la no prece dent that will Justify Mr. Jordan In choosing from his own state a committee ot his Intimate co-workers and associates to pass upon questions which so vitally affect the character ot hit administration and the prosperity ot tho entire Southern Cotton Association. 'Re It understood that there can be no possible ob jection to the personnel ot the committee of three whom Mr. Jordan has named. President M. L. Johnson, of the Georgia Stato Asoaclatlon, Is one of the truest and high est types of men In Georgia. Ho Is above suspicion and above reproach. Hon. John D. Walker, ot Sparta, Is the soul of honor and the pattern ot public Integrity. No man could question the Integrity of Mr, Walker’s views or of bis character. And Colonel W. L. Peek, of Con yers, la a citizen cf blameless and stainless repute whose character deserves and commands the confidence.of his fellow ctUzens. 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 nnd 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 ethics would suggest that Mr. Jordan, If he has the right to appoint at all the committee to Investigate his adminis tration, should enlnrgo that committee to represent not only his own state of Georgia but the other states which are Involved In the affairs of the Southern Cotton As sociation. It aeonia also proper that ho should call that meet ing, not In his own little 10x12 personal and private office where only n few pcoplo can bo gathered to hear the deliberations, but In a hall of such publicity and magnltudo that the public which la Interested can be there to hear and to reach an opinion upon the lasues 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 themselves upon a great and Important Issue 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 ton growers and tho Southern people will not be aatlafled with a amall acsslon of three men. arbitrarily called by Mr. Jordan himself in his private office to pass upon matters ot such Importance to so many farmer* and to ao many business men, and we therefore In behalf of tho association for which we stand and In whose Interests alone we apeak, request that the widest publicity and largest possible Jury from tho Interested parties be brought to pass upon this vital question. Nothing less will satisfy the public, and nothing less than this will vindicate'the present administration of the cotton association. Growth and Progress of the New South Uiuler this remarkahlf* ft*' In* attention. The fools are not oil 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 test of endurance. At exactly 1 o’clock In the morning a musician placed himself at a piano, and played waits music without a -tingle break until 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile ten competitors, of whom one was a girl of It years of age. took the floor. The child was the first to stop, having danced for four houra. Constant Foxzoll continued eleven hours; but the record was made by Corslni Gualtlero, who. with (lx con secutive partners, waltxed without stopping until 2 In the afternoon, or thirteen hours without a break. The South’s Material Independence. A striking Indication of the growth and progress of the South was furnished by the fact, presented In yesterday's Issue of The Georgian, that five Georgia counties show an Increase of 21,129,000 In their tax rotums for the present year over tho 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 aa these cannot fall to make a strong Impression upon any student ot our commercial and Industrial development, and the facts will become more Imprqgslve still when the returns are Jill In. In this Connection we present today some facts taken from a recent addreas by Hr. Festua J. Wade, president of the Mercantile Trust Compa ny, of St Louis, one ot the most prominent and substanUst of the business men of tbe South. At a recent meeting of the Hankers’ Association of Tennessee he dwelt at length on the Independence of tbe South In Its agri cultural resources, Its manufacturing Industries, commercial establish ments and financial InstltuUoni. He showed, what will come as n matter of surprise, perhaps, to a number of readers, that while cotton was (Ull the principal product of the South, still only 44 per cent of tho farms of the South now derive tbetr 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 tbe South has grown by leaps and bounds since tbe period, 20 years ago, when the crop was something like 7,000,- 000 bales. At about that period the valuation of the' crop was nearly 3300.000. 000 a year. Last year It exceeded 13,000,000 bales, valued at 1623.000. 000. Mr. Wade might have stated that the exports of cotton from 1895 to 1899 averaged $213,378,000 per year In value. For tho fiscal year ending Juno 30. 1905, tbe exports of cotton were valued at practically $380,000,000, while tbe manufactures of cotton added nearly $50,000,000 more. Mr. Wado points out that “the home -grown cotton demand by the mills of the United States Is now over 4,000,000 bales annually. In 1890 It was 2,325,000. Yet, notwithstanding this remarkable Increase In cot ton manufacturing, a large percentage of It in tbe South, we nro selling to other countries more than ever before. ‘‘Agriculturally speaking, the southern states are an Independent peo ple, even of ‘King Cotton.' “Nothing will more thoroughly demonstrate the Independence of the South than the atatlstlcs which show a constant and yearly Incrcaso In Improved farm acreage. We find that tbe Improved acreage of the farms of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mlsslslppt, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, was by the government reports as follows: , IMPROVED ACREAGE OF TWELVE SOUTHERN STATES. 1880 78,082,484 1890 98,663,008 1900 107,753,678 “Let us see to what conclusions our figures ot production and grown? bring us: ( "The marvelous Increase In the output of the manufactories of certain Southern states has been placed before you in some detail. If we take only the 8outkorn states south of tbe 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 rvalue ot tho farm products of the same states was $600,000,000 greater In 1900 than In 1890. The Increases In farm products of'the South, taken year by year, from 1890 to 1905, will be found to aggregate more than $4,000,000,000. “The permanent value ot farm property In these states increased $1,- 000,000,000 In the ten year* from 1860 to 1900, and at least $500,000,000 more In the five years from 1900 to 190S. "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 deposits to the yearly gains from manufactures and from farm products. What Is the result? You have an aggregate that may well startle. Who of uk realizes the magnitude of $12,000,000,000? By comparison, we know that this pro duction ot farm and factory and these Increments on farm property and In bank deposits of the 8outh for fifteen yekrs represent more’than the stock of gold, silver and paper money In the entire world today. Bnt 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." ON A BACK-YARD FARM By JAMES J.

To the Editor of The Georgian; I read your worthy editorial in 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 la. Mr. Taggart has never added very much to the Demo cratic party as chairman, neither has he done us any good. It does seem to mo with the very large number of moat excellent gentlemen they had to aeleet from the party should have had a man who came nearer representing the type of manhood of which bis party la com posed than Tom Taggart. Yes, he should resign by all means, and do It quick. He Is not going to do IL though. You will see that he will stay In there until he Is put out. The question now la, will thoee who are empowered to do so make this very much needed change? You are not alone In your position. Mr. Grave*. Put Tom Tag gart out and do It at once.
