In considering the new venture, the

away from pretty- much the same
causes—lack of money and narrowness

Another thrust at Bill Taft,
PRESIDENT HARVIE JORDAN UNDER FIRE.
Those sre serious charges that C. 8. Barrett, president of the Farmers'
Union, makes against'Harvle Jordan,, president of the Southern Cotton
Asioctation, and they are not to be lightly dismissed as public airing of a
private quarrel or extension of the cacoethes scrlhcndl now epidemic.
The burden of Mr. Barrett's card can hardly be called an Insinuation
or Innuendo.
As president of the Farmers' Union be makes fiat, direct, unequivocal
charge of a "Wall street annex established by Mr. Jordan,"/ president of
the Southern Cotton Association. Following this up, he says:
"Lest what I say be regarded as vague—and'I am a man who speaks
by direct methods, and w’ho endeavors to conceal nothing—let me say that
when I refer to. Mr, Jordan's Wall street annex, I but give utterance to the
protest of thousands of^farmers throughout the South at his constant Inter
course with somp of the prominent speculators of Wall street—men who
are known to be perfectly conscienceless when It comes to dealing with any
body who hat anything to sell. Who, for Instance, would think of Joe
Hoadley as being a farmers' Moses? And yet backward and forward Mr.
Jordan has gone between Atlanta and Mr. Hoadley’a luxurious New York
office, waa gorgeously entertained recently. I understand, on,Mr. Hoadley's
$3,000,000 yacht on an Atlantic cruise, and then comes back, (till damp with
the ocean mlats. Just In time to announce that the reports of the gulf
etorm had been greatly exaggerated and thtt this year's cotton crop would
be the SECOND largest th the history of the 8outh."
The directness- of this allegation demands an equally straightforward
statement from President Jordan.
For the friendship of Messrs. Jordan and Joe Hoadley has for a year
been a matter of much comment In the cotton exchanges of the country.
For Instance—
The foHowIng'Cotton letters were Issued last W inter by one of the lead
ing brokerage houses ,of the New York Exchange, being telegraphed all over
the country for the Irtfurmatlon of speculators:
DAILY COTTON LETTER.
New York, N. Y„ December ”, 1905,
Business Is at a practical standstill, pendtyig the Issuance of the census,
which Is likely to be In the neighborhood of eight and one-half millions
ginned. We doubt If It will have more than temporary effect either way,
ns this Is but the census department's effort to count the bales of a crop,
the total of which we all feel certain will not exceed ten and a quarter mil
lion bales.
While the market hesitates, awaiting this report, It Is great satisfaction
to feel assured that the work la being scientifically done and no amount of
graft or influence can affect It.
Many people distrust the market because of Hoadley's conspicuous as
sociation with It. He Is making the most of his alleged friendship for Pres
ident Jordan, and the latter gentleman Is Injuring a great cause' by not
denying the report of Ills frequent conferences with this notorious person.
DAILY COTTON LETTER.
New York, N. Y., December 11, 1905.
It is easy to comprehend the position of Hoadley In the cotton market,
but noithlnklng man can approve of Mr. Harvle Jordan's association with
a notorious speculator, simply because he apparently and for the time be
ing favors higher prices for cotton. Mr. Jordan la supposed to represent the
Intelligence and determination of the cotton planter. The country looka to
him to stand for and defend the highest alms and purposes of the South, ahd
he weakens a great cause by making any speculator his confidant and ,
spokesman. Nothing could have transpired to so destroy confidence In the

New York, February 31.
The people whom ffarvle Jordan announced as the backbone of the un
derwriting syndicate are doing the liquidating this morning. So ends an-
pther piece of folly.
It would appear that the speculative market felt a more than specula

The Fraternity Syitem.
A fight at Mercer University between
fraternity men and those denominated
"barbarians" In the undergraduate
vernacular calls attention again to the
problem that has for many years been
perplexing college presidents and col
lege trustees of the country.
The Greek letter fraternity Is an
established fact. Hence, It will require
much theory In the shape of strong
argument lo overthrow It as an Insti
tution. ‘There are, speaking roughly,
fifty big national fraternities drawing
their active membership from the stu
dent body of the leading universities
and colleges of the country. Nearly
all of them have been In existence more
then 25 years. Tlfelr members, active
and graduate, are conspicuously loyal
to their fraternity, and all the Greek
letter men—though they aa bodies have
their rivalries and quarrela among
themselves—untte In a common cause
when any attack la made on the exist
ence of the fraternity.
Agitation agalnet the fraternity has
never reached an acute stage In the-
colleges of Georgia, and at present the
Greek letter societies are flourishing at
the Stale University at Athens, at
Emory, at Mercer, at Tech and at the
Dahlonega school. Yet there Is In at
least four of these colleges an organl-
atlon of tho non-fraternity men. cer
tainly for purpose of fighting the fra
ternities in college pqlltlcs and possi
bly for the purpoee of making for the
abolition of the "frst" system.
Fraternity men argue that their or
ganisations are based on the highest
Ideals of morality and manhood; that
they bring the chosen few together In
society that la -of pleasure and of
profit; that the affiliation accomplishes
a result that would otherwise be sought
hopelessly by the college president. In
bringing the younger—ami naturally
rather Inclined to he wayward—stu
dents under the Influence of the older
and steadier men. That there Is much
strength In this last argument none
who has ever known college life can
doubt, a rare exception appearing no#
and then In which the older members
have had corrupting Influence.
Against the fraternity ay-stem Is
brought the one potent argument of
undemocratic exclusiveness. The fra
ternity men naturally re-ly that there
can be no society without exclusive
ness. However, their opponents argue
that the system leads lo snobbishness,
superciliousness, selflahnrs and fre
quent adherence to moves that are
opposed to the Interest of the student
body as a whole. They maintain that
the vernacular Itself shows the spirit
of the Institution In terming the socie
ty men "Greeks” and all others "bar
barians.” And In every college the
ratio Is at least one fraternity man
to three “non-frat” men.
Yet there never was a good that waa
wholly good. It must always be con
sidered a mailer of relativity.
And In maintaining the fraternity
systems the universities have deter
mined that the general good resulting
outweighs the evils. .
There Is one feature In the system
that seems t6 require changing, how
ever. ,
Under the scheme as It Is now |ttv
fraternity men are selected Immediate
ly upon the opening of college each
year, and frequently they are elected
and "pledged" even before they enter
college. In this way many students of
character and ability, men who deserve
to be fraternity men and men who feel
throughout their, college course the
slight, are because of slight uncouth-
nesa of appearance, perhaps, or of a
retiring disposition or of a lack of
prepoateeslng superficiality not elected
members. And It seems to be a general
custom that no man. unasked by a
fraternity during the "rushing season."

and resourcefulness, yet team work and
unity of action did not go unrewarded.
In short, there was greater variety
than In big games of previous years,
the ball was exposed to the stands a
great deal by the open play and the
better team won by a natural margin.
This test the new rules survived, 'Why,'
was the- comment of a close observer,
this game Is like baseball; they throw
the ball around ao much.' ” 1

to be sacrificed because of tendency to

rectified.

service In behalf of the liberties of the
colonies.
In 17*0 he was 'licensed to practice

But whatever his theories of the con

In 17*2 he was n member of the Vir

In 1795 Washington, who highly es

and In 179* he was asked to accept the
place of minister to France, both' of
which wore refused.

upon him to go as envoy extraordinary
to France to settle our disputes with
that country. While In Parla Marshall
was pitted against the astute and wily

probable that the majority of these lomots, and at every point Talleyrand
failed to cast their ballot the more be

that so many of those who are really
vitally Interested fall to take an, active

“UNCLE REMUS" ON PARADE.
Joel t'handler Harris, affectionately
known throughout nil the land as "Un

and then was heard, for the first time,
the historic slogan, "Millions for de

CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST
REPLIES TO "LIVING CHURCH.”
To the Editor of The Georgian:
In a recent Issue of The Georgian

discuss together the questions that are
argued before us. We are great ascet
ics, and even deny ourselves wine, ex
cept In wet weather. What I say about
wine gives you our rule, but It some
times happens that the chief Justice
will say to me, when the cloth Is re
moved: 'Brother £tory, step to the
window and see If IL does not look like
rain.' And If 1 tell him that the sun Is
shining brightly, Judge Marshall will
sometimes reply: ‘All the better, for
our jurisdiction Is over so large a ter.
rltory that the doctrine of chances
makes It certain that* It must be rain
ing somewhere.'"
Marshall's judicial duties called him
annually to Raleigh, N. and on such
occasions he would always stop with a
certain landlord whose house was noted
for Its want of comfort. On one of his
visits the chief Justice was seen very
early In the morning gathering up an
armful of wood at the woodpile, which
he carried Into the house. When asked
later on In the day what he had been
about In the morning, he replied: “I
suppose It Is not convenient for Air.
t'oolt to keep a servant, so I make up
my own fires.”
No man ever questioned Marshall's
Integrity. His unsophisticated good
ness awed all men.
Aa Is well known, Marshall presided
at the‘famous Aaron Burr trial, In
which we have a striking demonstra
tion of the absolute Integrity and Jus
tice of Marshall’s character. He was
Intimately acquainted with and dearly
loved Alexander Hamilton, and yet he
charged the Jury In favor of Aaron
Burr—because from the evidence In the
case he saw that Burr was not guilty.
The young men of today cannot af
ford to forget John Marshall. His pa.
trlotlam, Ills Integrity mid love of prin
ciple, and. last, but not least, his beau
tiful simplicity, make him a model that
the young peoplo of today can well af
ford reverently and lovingly to study.
