WHY THE COTTON ESTIMATES?
The lime is ripe for the farmer* of the South to protest vigorously against
| the action of the agricultural department of the United States government
In officially Issuing literature which Is too frequently In the interest of that
{speculative element known as “the-Man”—that la, those persona who devote
i their entire time to depressing the price of cotton.
That the government la devoting much valuable time and Incurring great
expense In gathering Information for others than tbe producers la not to be
questioned. And to the people directly interested this Information (not In
frequently. misinformation) Is worthless. In fact, the documents Issued on
the Condition of crops, acreage, glnnera' reports, semi-monthly reports and
estimates of the amount of the crop, are all rank guesses and are of benefit
only to tbe speculator and should be without any Influence in fixing the
course of prices for the commodity Itself. As a basis on which to figure the
crop they are a handy ski of figures for the expert statistician lo show the
world of consumers that a crop in excess of the total requirements has been
raised. Consequently, the consumer fan at once begin a hand-to-mouth
policy in purchasing his supply.
Mr. Ellison, the English statistician, estimates the world's requirements
or American cotton at 12,jon.000 bales. It happens that he occasionally un
derestimates consumption, nut. by the possession of facts, from which fixed
deductions may he drawn, his estimate always has that quality of approxi
mate exactness which gives It real value.
The estimate of requirement Is Issued by a private cltlxcn; the other Is
backed up by the government.
The methods employed by these two authorities differ considerably, In
that one has a greater amount of actual data on which to base an estimate.
In other words, the amount of consumption up to any date desired Is easily
obtainable. Orders are hooked ahead In all Ihe consuming countries of the
world, flgurea for which are available, and there Is no let-up In the demand
for the product of the mills—which Items are considerable factors In making
an estimate of the world's requirements.
- The government has the amount of cotton brought Into sight al any
given dale for estimating the fleld of cotton for one whole season. There are
no means by which an individual or an official department may accurately
name the exact number of bales that will be brought Into sight—that Is.
marketed—from the date used as n basis of estimation to the end of the
season. Neither can the number of bales bold off the market be accurately
name.
Accuracy ends, In these estimates, at the amount brought Into sight at
any given date.
Any elaboration of this fact In the shape of an attempt to estimate the
entire crop Is merely a bit of guess work.
Then why should the government estimate?
What master docs the estimator for the* government serve?
Certainly not the farmer.

SERMONS IN BRIEF.
I.ast Sunday, front every pulpit in Atlanta, there was preached a ser
mon against crime and mob violence. The voice of every minister In tho
city, white or black, was raised In the cause of law and order. In the name
of Hlrtl, who is l>aw, man was urged lo honor and obey the mandates of that
Institution of all human Institutions which most neatly Is divine.
That day may be Justly regarded as one of tho most important In At
lanta's history. It marked the beginning of a terribly serious nttepipt to al
leviate the peril of increasing crime and lawlessness in this city. It was
one of the Aral steps taken by the ministers of Atlanta, acting In co-opera
tion with the officers of the Business Men's Gospel Union, in an effort lo
readjust tho relations of the races at the South.
The Georgian Wednesday afternoon printed excerpts from a number
of tho sermons delivered last Sunday. As former Governor W. .1. Northern
president of the Business Men's Gospel I'ltion. says in Ills preface lo the
printing of these extracts, "the appeals set out In the excerpts, taken
from the sermons delivered, are necessarily limited, but they constitute an
earnest, strong effort made in God's name and for the sake of humanity,
that we may have security in our homes, law and order in Ihe community
and n civilisation worthy of tho great trusts that have been comtnittcd
to UR.”

mons delivered, am] will continue to do so each day until extracts from the
utterances r*f every one of Aflnntu’fl ministers will have apiieured.

We call attention to this bemuse the
assertion Is so frequently ntndc nt the
j North that juatice tor the negro is n
j rare thing nt the South. It is gcucral-
1 ly charged that where feeling runs
j high because of some crime commit-
; ted, the negro has no chance for a
: square deal.
There could be no crime which
could arouse the feeling of reputable
. citizens more than that w hich caused
1 the death of Officer Heard, who died
! in the discharge of his duty, for the
aake of our homes.
But the evidence against the four
, negroes on trial was not sufficient to
I justify the charge of murder, and
; without regard to the jury's own feel-
■ ln« of destro tu bring to account the
j slayers of Officer Heard, these negroes
wore given their freedom.
It was just an exemplification of the
: fact that there Is justice for the negro
' in the South.
The Jury which heard the case was
! composed of twelve of the lead fug clt-
i Isons of Atlanta; their verdict was a
• reflex of the best sentiment of this
city—a high regard for law and or

In n recent Ihmiic of The Georgian
Mr. J. K. I la i ton propounds a few ques-
thins to “observant readers.'* Among
others Is this:
"Why are the Hand •ban
always on the left Imnk?
If Mr. Half on will take a fJlyde
steamer at Jacksonville. Hit, hound
seaward, he will observ
eral miles Ihe steamer closely hugs
the left hank, because of u bar that
projects u half mile or more from the
right Imnk, rendering the water too
shallow for vessels of deep, or even
shallow draft.
If Mr. Hal ton will take a river steam
er nt Cairo, III., for New Orleans, li
will note that the bars alternate with
almost unbroken regularity. Home-
times the river seems undecided upon
which bank to throw the bar. and
compromises by throwing It In the mid
dle. Our paternul government takes
those middle bars, and some others. In
hand, and by driving piles and inter
weaving mattresses of willow, coniines
the flow of water In a narrower chan
nel. Primarily, this routining u the
waters has the effect of “scouring" a
deeper channel; but It has u further
effect of changing the course of the
v of water for many miles, and till*
changing of the course of Hie flow is
followed by a shitting of the bars. The
Missouri river not only shifts its hare,
but sometimes lops off a few -town
ships of Inhabited valleys and shifts
them Into an adjoining state—or at
leust the farmer who thus finds him
self shifted Is undecided as to wheth-
he should vote for Roosevelt on the
left bank or/or Bryan on the right.
'itr. Barton further asks:
When streams flow together
and form a third, why doe* the water
from the left-hand stream always flow
over that of the right-hand, or vice
versa, tho water from the right-hand
stream flow under?”
If Mr. Uartoit will come out of the
mouth of the Missouri liver and cross
over to the left hank of the Mississippi,
he may lido down the Illinois side for
twenty miles or more on the transp

It was a lemon, that Hon. Joseph M.
Terrell, chief executive of the state of
Georgia, was handed Wednesday aft
ernoon.
And the fruit was presented right In
the big domed building where the chief
executive has bis offices.
This lemon came in the shape of a
decision of the board of trustee* of .the.
Girls* Normal and Industrial School of
Mllledgevllle to name the new dormi
tory to he erected,'Lamar Hall Instead
of Terrell Hall. And behind this de
clalon there Is a little story.
• Some time ago there was a meeting
of this board and at that time Dr. Tig-
nor. of Greenville, moved that the new
hall be named In honor of Governor
Terrell. The plan received a check at
that time and action In the matter was
postponed.
Ho when the trustees met in the cap-
Itol Wednesday afternoon to accept
plans for the new' dormitory, the ques
tlon of naming the .structure came up.
Again Dr. Tlgnor moved that the
building Ik* named Terrell Hall. Rut
before be made this motion James 31
Dupree, of Montexuma, also a member
of the beard, moved that the buildiBW
be named Lamar Hall in honor of Rich
ard N. Lamar, another member of the
board.
Dr. Tlgnor made his motion in tho
nature of a substitute and to postpone
action, Colonel Atkinson, of Mew-nan,
moved as n substitute for the whole
that action be deferred.
Then came the lemon handing proc
ess. The substitute for the whole was
lost. Ho was the rubstitute naming
the hall for Governor Terrell and the
original motion naming It after Rich
ard N. Lamar, a member of the board,
prevailed.
This was possible because Mr. Lamar
voted for the motion naming the hall
after himself. The governor got the
lemon instead of the honor.
All during the voting the vote stood
three to two. Chairman R. E. Green, of
Gainesville; James M. Dupree, of Mon
tezuma. and Richard N. Lamar voting
for the Latnar Hall proposition, while
Dr. Tlgnor and Colonel Atkinson want
ed It named after tho governor,.
It will be recalled that the la*t leg
islature appropriated $27,500 for the
erection of a new dormitory at the
school. The board met Wednesday aft-
ernoon to look over the plans and bids,
and those of J. W. Go!ueke & Co., of
Atlanta, were accepted, the specifica
tion being that the hall must not cost
more than ihe amount of money ap
propriated.
r:ut It won’t be named' after Governor
Tctrell.

Alexandria. Egypt. Dec. 13.—>For
some time a series of most scurrilous
and libellous attacks on Lord Cromer
and the British authorities have been
running In a local paper conducted by
an American citizen.
These attacks have been so grossly
disgraceful that the United States con
sul general, Mr. Iddfnge, has been ex
changing dispatches lately with th^
secretary of state relative to the pow
ers he possesses for the expulsion of
Americans from Egypt, that Measure
being demanded bynonest public opin-
Ion to stop the scandals.
The secretary replied that It was im
possible to expel a citlsen who attacks
officials of another power unless the
aggravated parties lodge a sworn com
plaint with the American representa
tive, who is then bound to take legal
steps. The action of Lord Cromer Is
awaited with Interest.

Washington, Dec. 12.—The president
is said to have in contemplation a spe
dal • measure to congress asking for
such Instructions as will give the Inter

tion over the distribution of freight
cars by railroads to shippers.
It Is alleged that gross discrimina
tions have been practiced In this re
spect. many concerns being forced to
discontinue business because of Inabil
ity to obtain cars for the shipment of
their products.
When Judge S. W. Cowan, of Texas,
who has taken a deep Interest In rate
legislation, visited the president with
the draft of such a bill, the president
strongly indorsed the proposition.
Chairman Hepburn, of the house In

said that a bill will probably be Intro
duced at an early date giving the Inter
state commerce commission control also

expects this to be passed at the pres
