iilioii the mere rumor of It the president and the officials at Washington
raised a great hullabaloo and protest over Mr. Wallace's resignation anil
made It hot for him for nearly a fortnight by their criticism over hi* with

friends condemned Mr. Wallace uiion the mere suspicion that he was
leaving tbe difficulties of Panama for the iiermanent luxuries of a New
York corporation. But the president makes haste to speed and oil the cer
tain passage of Engineer Shoots from the trials of Panama to a definite
position with the fnterurbah Railway of New York.
It is these delightful Hide exhibitions of Inconsistency which relieve
the president from the suspicion of Infallibility, making him human, put

GEORGIANS HONORED AMONG THE FARMERS.
The state of Georgia haa undoubtedly received practical evidence of
the dlitlngulihed consideration In which Its sons are held by tho great
agricultural interest! of tbe country
Here first of all comes Charles Barrett, ot t paon county, chosen to
be the president of the National Farmers' I'nlon ot America—with tuurv
then 1.000,000 members—the greatest farmers' organization I ft tbe world.
"Along with him comes R. I,. Duckworth, president of tbe Georgia divis
ion, 60,000 strong, and high In the councils and powers of Ihe National
Union.
Here from Jasper county edmes Harvlc Jordan, president of the
Southern Cotton Growers' Association, whose membership we do uot know
but whose repute aud Influence Is widespread throughout the comments!
world.
And here from Hancock comet Johu D. Walker, twice chosen at the
treasurer of that strong organisation and looked upun as tho strong finan
cial prop'and Inspiration of the association.
Georgia la deeply appreciative ot this high and practical tribute to
the abilities and devotion of her honored sons.
A reading of the record* of the Southern cotton grower* at Birming
ham. bears witness to the fact (hat from first lo last, John D. Walker
was oue of the dominant am) beneficent Influences In that notable conven
tion. Mr. Walker was reckoned by the Birmingham papers as one ot the
most conspicuous figures of the convention, sod It was stated by them
that no man who spoke during tta deliberations carried more weight and
conviction than this banker-farmer from Georgia.
The most notable thing accomplished by Mr. Walker tn Birmingham
was the successful effort to raise money for tbe association's Immediate
need*. On Ihe second night of the convention when the financial situa
tion of the nrganltatlon was well known and amid an Impressive silence
which augured some doubt as to where the money was to tie found, John
D. Walker mounted the platform and In a brief but profoundly Impres
sive speech announced to tbe convention that If the association was to ex
ist and to he a force tn tho betterment of agricultural conditions. It was
absolutely necessary to raise 910,000 at once. Mr. Walker called upon per
sona present lo contribute 1100 each and set the example by announcing
himself as Ihe first to contribute (hit amount. Before the appeal had
died upon the ear a half doxen men were on their feet pledging them
selves for the amount asked for. Among them was Governor Hoke
Smith of Georgia, who gsv* $100 for himself and 8100 for the tenants on
hts farm. And for these last he skied that his tenants would never be
compelled to sell a pound of codon for less than the prl e fixed liy the as
sociation.
As a result of Mr, Walkers appeal, 67.180 was secured In the space
half an hour and the rest wa* promised.
It wss announced by the speaker that a Northern gentleman with
large business Interests had guaranteed the full sum asked for. hut he
did not want to see Southern men have to appeal lo the North for finan
cial aid lo protect Southern Industries, and he was proud that the re-
Hixmse of the South Iwd rendered fils unnecessary.
Mr. Walker's a|ieech on the "kelatlon of Southern Hankers to the
rollon Crop " was regarded as one of the liesl and soundest pa|>cr* pre
sented to Ihe convention, and the Impression both ot Ihe press and of his
fellow members was so geueral at to ibe blgb and conservative Influ
