But he cannot make him drink without he will. —Heywood. The Committee Vindicates The Georgian. When the list Is written of the services which The Georgian has rendered snd msy yet have the happiness to render to the farmers of Georgia, we trust that this Incident of the cotton association Investigation will not be forgotten. If The Georgian with all Its power of publicity and with the good name which it has won and hopes snd believes It has deserved, had not entered Into this de mand for an Investigation Into the affairs of the associa tion there would probably never have been one. The conditions and abuses which are now confessed to exist would have continued snd perhaps Increased to an extent that would have been dangerous to the asso ciation and In every respect hurtful to the cotton growers themselves. - We candidly confess that this agitation upon our part grew primarily out of a Justifiable effort to repel an unworthy Insinuation on the pert of Harvle Jordan against the Integrity of this paper. We say frankly and those who know us best know we speak truthfully, that with this brief statement the controversy under ordinary circumstances would have dropped. But with the en trance Into the arena of a newspaper frank enough and brave enoagh to bear much prejudice In the Interest of a great cause, there came to us so many testimonies and so many protests, not only from the men conducting the light for and against the Boykin bill, but from the multitude of private cltlsens and farmers throughout the country, that Tbo Georgian felt distinctly laid upon It the obligation of an honest newspaper to shed the full light of publlolty upon this transaction and to compel the probe of Investigation to be Inserted Into the affairs of the association. Suppose that we bad not done so? Suppose that day by day the editorial columns and the news columns of this paper had not presented the evidence that was so Inter esting to the cotton growers of the South? Suppose we bad not taken an alarm at the bold Insinuation of Representative Anderson, of Cheatham, on the floor of tbo state legislature and decided that the honesty and p.ifely of the cotton growers' association was at stake In Its Investigation of the rumors against It? Why, tho chances are that there would have been no Investigation, bat that the matter would have simmered away ns such matters nearly always do, to a standstill. There might have been a little gossip, a little protest and a little kicking, but by this time the Issue would hare passed Into obscurity. Instead of that, with an honest representative and a bold and out-spoken representative of the press to act In behalf of the cotton growers and of the association, an Investigation has been compelled, a committee has been In session. And, behold! all and more than The Georgian charg ed and that Representative Anderson charged, has been established and condemned by the committee which was called to consider It! After everything has been said and done, both Rep resentative Anderson and this paper have been abun dantly vindicated In the fight that they have made tor the cleansing of the official life of a great organisation. What we charged was that while these men were loudly condemning cotton speculation with lip and with pen, that right In the office of the president there were pub- Uo officials who with hand and with pocket bm>k In per sons] speculations were contradicting the sincerity of their outside professions. And, behold! the committee declares In specific lan guage that It Is the soundest policy that the cotton as sociation should condemn In the strongest possible Ian- gusge any dealing In futures for themselves or others, on the part of any officer or officers or employees of that association, or being In any way an owner or a stock holder or otherwise Interested In any concern dealing In ootton futures or buying or selling same. Was not this the exact position taken by The Geor gian In Its argument and In Its call for an Investigation Into the affairs of the association? Was not this the dis tinct and definite reason that this paper gave for do- m.indln'g this Investigation? That It was for the Interest of the association and that the engagement of Its offi cials in such practices was In the highest degree hurtful and deatructlve to the organisation, the committee now declares. The committee further declares that Mr. Richard Cheatham, secretary of the association, admitted such speculation and dealing on his part In the name of Mike O'Grady. —■ Is not this all or nearly all that The Georgian con tended for In this call tor an Investigation? Talk about this paper’s ‘‘not knowing anything about It of Its own knowledge." Why, who knows anything about anything until testimony and evidence are brought? What did the committee know until the evidence was brought to Its possession? What does any court of Jus tice or any Jury know about the conditions of a case until the witnesses for and against It are put upon the stand to tell their stories? And The Georgian having the tes timony of thoroughly creditable and reputable wltm in tho case of the speculation that was engaged In by the officers of the association, and having reason to believe that an officer of this association was personally en gaged In one of the very Institutions which he and bis newspaper were moat loudly condemning, what was left for us as a public Journal and a friend of the cotton growers’ association nnd a partisan advocate of Its pros perity and an earnest well wlaber for Its continued ef fectiveness, to do but to bring tbeso abuses to the light that they might promptly bo purified and the official life of the association cleared? And thl* has been done. We say frankly that the committee did all we think could bavo been done. We cheerfully and cordially withdraw In the aggregate any Imputation and recall any criticism we may have had occasion to lay upon the committee. Whatever the at titude of Individual members, the committee, as a whole, haa fairly and squarely done three thing*. It has vindicated Its own Integrity and Impartiality. It hat thoroughly and completely vindicated The Georgian and Representative Anderson. And by Its testimony and the definite condemnation of Richard Cheatham It has purified the official life of the administration and will put the cotton osioclatlon upon a larger and better beat* of usefulness than It baa held before. Aa a citizen, as a Journalist, and as a friend of the cotton association, we thank the committee for the clear ness and the vigor of Its notion upon this discussion. The Georgian taajr be permitted to say that It has no sense of peraonal enjoyment in the agitation of these abuiet. The work of an agitator and of a reformer Is never a popular and rarely a happy one. It goes always against prejudice, and agalnet established conditions and against the hatred of those who are brought to Judg ment. Cut we have.fought a good fight We have be lieved the things for which we fought We have been vindicated by the Judgment of the tri buna) to whom our cause and the cause of the cotton growers was submitted, and we feel at least the pleasure and the satisfaction of knowing this finding of the com mittee, whether endorsed by the general executive com mittee or not, will bo of Immeasurable benefit to the cot ton growers of the South. If Richard Cheatham Is removed It will be a lesson In discipline to every officer of the cotton aasoclatlon In the future, and If he is not removed by the general ex ecutive committee, then the egltetore of this question, the fearless newspapers end the fearless publicists have put on warning those who hold position! In this greet or ganisation that the power of publicity and the power of the prase stands ready now and always to defend the' association from the errors of officials and to turn the light upon abuses wherever they may be. It may safely be* stated that no official of the South ern Cotton association will be engaged either directly or Indirectly for the next ten years In practices that are unworthy of his large responslblltles. It msy also safely be prophesied that the officers of this and of other administrations having the peo ple's Interest at stake will be put on notice by this ag itation that they must square their conduct by a high standard of Integrity In their responsibility to the future. Wa have no ifeslre to see Richard Cheatham pun ished. We have no wish to reflect upon his personal In tegrity. It Is entirely possible that with this strong rebuke administered to him for an error In his official life that he will sin no more In the future along these JJnes. And It Is also probable that he will be taught a valaublo les ion In the denouncing of such things with his lips as he practices with his htnds. We havo not one line of personal animosity toward him. We have not one Im pulse that demands bis punishment. We feel that our fight has been won, that the correctness of our position has been established, and that the cotton association, which we endorse, has been purified, put on new ground and Invigorated and strengthened for a great and even ■pore successful future. And with this we are done. We are now free to de vote ourselves to the help of the Cotton Growers' Asso ciation In any way In whleh we can be useful. Unless circumstances should compel us to renew the discussion Just prior to the meeting of the general executive com mittee In September, or to the assembly of the annual convention In May, we have nothing more to ssy. ‘‘Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully re joice over me; neither let them wink with the eye.' Psalms 35:19. Those people who are thoughtfully Interested In the cotton association Investigation will find It Instructive and profitable to read In T>.e Georgian the very calm and Intelligent statement of Hon. James J. Lea. publisher of The Trade Index, of New Orleans, who It a recognised and atandaru authority upon all matters relating to the marketing of the cotton crop with which he hat been closely connected for thirty yean. Must the House of Lords Go ? It Is not Improbable that one of the most notable critee In the history of the British parliament may be precipitated at any time, having as Its purpose nothing less than the overthrow or ndlcal reorganisation of the hereditary house of lords. No thinking man believes that the Ume wtU ever come when tho upper chamber will be abolished. In practically alt constitutional governments an upper house, corresponding tp the American Senate, Is found necessary as a sort of balance wheel and countercheck to the popular body, but the Idea of an hereditary body of legislators, responsible to no one and able al any time to nullify the proceedings of the lower house, has been growing In disfavor for a long time. This tact was emphasized ten years ago when Mr. Gladstone's second home rule bill was adopted by the house of commons. The first bill providing for a sep arate parliament for the Irish people had been defeated In the lower house. It was objected that It did not provide for the retention of any Irish representatives In the British parliament, and this was made at the Ume the basis of strong opposition. The second home rule measure corrected this, and It went through the house of commons by a large major Ity. The country wee very much worked up on the {subject, and when the bouse of lord* peremptorily de feated It, there was great Indignation throughout the country. Mr. Gladstone retired from the liberal leadership and from the house of commons. His last speech In the chamber where he had labored so long and so gloriously was practically an appeal for the drastic reorganization of the house of lords. Lord Rosebery succeeded him In the liberal leader ship. /. Tho distinguished liberal peer was handicapped from tho first by the very fact that he was a peer and that he must alt In the house of lords, where he could • happens and tho education bill Is defeated. and member of parliament, displayed the greatest skill In the handling of the measure, and It has Just passed the house of commons. The question now Is, will the house of lords refuse to pass this measure? Will they block this great popu lar demand, as they obstructed home rule? It Is reported that they will, or at least will so radically amend it that It will be of no value. ThlB has started the discussion anew of reorganizing the bouse of lords, and Imposing upon them some measure of responsibility. The Indica tions are that something will be done If the expected not possibly hope to influence a single vote. He could speak eloquently and persuasively, but the Held of bis! activity waa too restricted. The new government drifted. The country had ex pected that one of the first features of the new govern ment program would be some reorganization of the house of lords by which the will and wish of the popu lar body could not be defeated, but no such measure was adopted. Tbo consequence was that the liberal government soon went down In defeat and Lord Salis bury came In at the head of a conservative government From time to tlmo since those memorable days there haa been a great deal of talk about the reorgan ization of the house of lords. The Idea of hereditary legislators has grown more and more repugnant to the genius of the English people. The leading feature on the program of the present liberal government, which came In this year, after one of the most overwhelming victories In parliamentary history, was the adoption of an education bill which strikes at the very root of the system of sectarian edu cation. The nonconformists here objected strenuously to paying taxes for the education of children In forms of faith which they (the nonconformists) did not believe In, and they have demanded a system of secular educa- cation. It Is a moderate measure, after all, for it leaves It entirely possible for the established church to carry on sectarian education outside of regular school hours, by a different corps of teachers, at a separate expense, but It removed the greet ground of objection entertained by the dissenters from the established church. The measure wee Introduced by Augustine Blr- rell—and the wags promptly christened It the Blrrellg- ious bill. While a literary man of the highest prominence, he nevertheless, as the head of the board of education "A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth; he wluketh wltl> his eyes."—Proverbs 7:12-13. What Mr. Seymour Said. If Mr. Committeeman Seymour Is correctly reported by The Morning Constitution aa saying that he made an offensive and InsuIUng remark to the editor of The Georgian when the editor was upon the witness stand on Wednesday, then Mr. Committeeman Seymour has stated an Intentional or unintentional untruth. The editor of The Georgian mentioned ex-Vlce President Pe ters of Texas as among the multitude of critics of the Jordan administration. Some committeeman, whom we now suppose to be Mr. Seymour, stated his strong dislike for Mr. Peters, and hit unwillingness to accept his evidence, which was of course a matter altogether between Mr. Seymour and Mr. Peters. Another com mitteeman, whom we suppose to be Mr. Allison, asked If It was a friendly act to quote Mr, Peters, and the editor replied that without any knowledge of the quarrel between Mr. Peters and Mr. Jordan, he thought It was the friendliest possible act to shed all 'possible light from every source upon the Investigation In progress. But from first to last there was not one discourteous or disrespectful word, uttered either by the editor to the committee, or by any member of the committee toward the editor. ' We ere willing to guarantee that Colonel W. L. Peek snd President M. L. Johnson voted for the square clean thing In the committee of Investigation. -* ‘‘He that perverteth his ways shall be known; he that wlnketh with the eye oauseth sorrow.”—Proverbs 10:9-10. Growth and Progress of the New South South which deserves something more than pass- Southern Textile Manufactures; It la known even to the most superficial observer that the South Is making wonderful strides In the matter of cotton manufactures. Within the paat twenty-five years the number of cotton splndlea In the South has Increased from 642,000 to 8,111,000, while the number of tales consumed haa Increased from 183,461 to 2,140,000. The South la r ow c>>- sumlng more than 16 fcer cent of the entire cotton crop. The' Carolines alone consume more cotton than the entire state of Massachusetts, which, only a short time ago, was the very home of the cotton mill Industry. Of this Southern consumption the state of Georgia la manufacturing nearly one-fourth, or practically 260,000 bales a year. Not only cotton mills, but knitting mills, are springing up a’l over the South. The Manufacturers’ Record, In a recent article on the subject, says that while the cotton spinning Industry of the South haa been progressing and receiving the attention which It deserved, there has been a gratifying advance In the knitting of cotton Into hosiery and miscellaneous garments for underwear. Tha establishment of knitting mills throughout the South, while not unusual In Its activity, haa been steady during the paat several years, and ths various plsnta, of which there are 164, represent an Indus try to which It Is worth white to give some consideration at this time. Most of the mills are of limited size and capacity, and many of them dispose of their output through local stores and merchants of their section. Tet there eye a number which market their output through commission houses In New York and other cities. In a number of Instances these Southern plants have New York offices ( and are largely owned or controlled by experienced knit goods manufacturers and merchants of the North end East. The Manufacturers' Record haa obtained, through dhrect correspond ence with the Southern knitting mills, some data showing the extent and character of all the plants. Letters addressed to 168 companies brought 113 replies, and the other 40 companies are given credit as to equipment and other details according to a recent textile directory. An examination of the tabulated list showy that there are 168 knitting mills, all of them In op eration, and 101 of them dye and otherwise finish their manufactures ready for the market The total amount of Inverted capital la 17,112,460; the num ber of knitting machines operated Is 14,020; the number of spindles operated Is 124,404, and the number of operatives Is 16,660. The facts gleaned from the data Indicate that the Southern knit goods Industry wilt continue to advance and keep pace with the progress of the Southern cotton aplnnlng and weaving Industry and the general development of all tha other manufacturing possibilities of the Southern states. It may be mentioned that the product of thees mills Includes all kinds of hosiery, ribbed vesta and other garments of underwear for women, fleece- lined underwear and varioua other artlclee of wearing apparel In the asms class.

It looks aa If Cheatbam hag been caught with the goods on and should go from the Cotton Growers' Associa tion. but In tha meantime we are fig urtng on what sort of an Irishman Is Mike O'Orady to turn state's evidence on the fellow who had helped him make money. O’GRAOY AND CHEATHAM. From The Charlotte Chronicle. The delayed Investigation Into the ehargea made agalnet some officers of ths Southern Cotton Association that they hare been (peculating In futures, Is appointed to be held In Atlanta to* day. Meanwhile, the papers of that city have been giving some front pages of mors than usual Interest, The Jour nal even crowding out Hoke Smith stuff to make room for Inveetlgatlon talk. A good deal haa been made out of the fact that Mr. Richard Cheatham, secretary of the association, haa been handling money and buying and sell ing futures for Mr. Mike O’Grady, who Is the vice president and manager of a •till house In Chattanooga. He admits that he was trading on the Atlanta exchange, but that Richard Cheatham waa handling tha money and using his udgment as to when to buy and sell, le says: "l have had Cheatham work several trades for me. In cotton alto gether. He did this at my earnest ao- lcttatloa. For business reasons. 1 did not care to tend myself to speculation In Chattanooga, where I live, and, therefore, wrote Mr. Cheatham to handle my trades for me In Atlanta. Mr. Cheatham told me that Jie had u friend in an exchange there who was strictly honest and reliable and who could be depended upon to keep his business to himself." It appears that he gave Cheatham 12,004 with which to gamble, but that Cheatham advised him against speculation. Cheatham says In hls own behalf that he simply “acted as a friend." In hls Individual capac ity. Mr. Cheatham, of course, has the right to speculate tor himself and hls friends, but as long as he* liolde the responsible position of secretary of the Southern Cotton Aasoclatlon, lie should keep out of such business. The fact that he wss speculating for a friend THOSE GEORGIA CHARGES. From The Montgomery Journal. It looks as If graft haa become In grained In American character. Com plaint waa made ‘about the leaks In the crop reports from the department of agriculture. Tho press and the peo ple were up In arms, ao to speak, against Secretary Wilson, and hls whole department. Certain employees were dismissed from ths service and Indicted. Congress took a hand In the matter, and Insofar as crop reports are concerned, there waa a reconstruction of the force of the department of agri culture. The gamblers In future con tracts, finding no more leaks at Wash ington, have Invaded the Southern Cotton Aseoctatlon Itself. It haa been charged before the legislature of Georgia that officers of the associa tion are connected with a bucket shop In the city of Atlanta. It seems that Dr. J. M. Crawford, who holds stock In the Piedmont Brokerage Company, which la nothing but a bucket shop, states that this concern wss promoted by Secretary Cheatham, of the South ern Cotton Association, who frequently gave him tips on the markets. While It Is denied that the association Is In any way connected with a bucket •hop. It Is not denied thus far that officers of the association have had an Interest In a bucket shop. Unless upon a full and fair Investigation It la shown that these charges are unsupported by the facts, the aasoclatlon will be great ly damaged In the eettmatlon of the tarmera and the planters of the South. The Fanners' Alliance went to pieces on the rock of politics. It Is feared r end the usefulness of otton Association. Un fortunately, there is too much greed and desire to get rich quick In this country.

Admiral Evans' fleet, which rtdee peacefully at anchor In Newport har bor, la the most powerful squadron that ever vlsitad Newport, and "Fighting Bob" la the most popular social light that the colony has “taken up."
