COTTON FUTURES AND SPOT COTTON
Several times within the past few days there have been senna
tlonal flurries in the rotton market, due to well concerted and strenu
ous efforts of the bears. At these times they succeeded in depressing
the price five dollars or more per bale, causing a panic In the ranks
of holders and the ruin of many speculators unable to hold on longer
on a declining market.
But these flurries affeeted only futures, and so failed of their prin
cipal purpose which doubtless was to depress the price of real cotton.
Of course Incidentally this change in quotations afforded a chance for
shearing lambs, which the manipulators improved for ail it was worth.
But the price of spot cotton remained unchanged. The holders of cot
ton refused to be stampeded by the scare that was organized for this
purpose, and the price of imaginary cotton at specified future periods
was given a tumble.
Those who now hold cotton, whether it be on the farm or in the
warehouse, know full well that the present price of cotton Is below
what It. should be in accordance with the law of supply and demand.
The crop of 1"99-1910 Is nearly three million bales short. Every addi
tional report furnishes more proof of this. The census bureau’s report
showed that up to January 1 only 9,646,285 hales had been ginned,
against 12,465,298 bales last year. With the requirements for this year
larger than last year’s and a shortage of 20 per cent In the supply It Is
absolutely certain tha> the small part, remaining on the market cannot
be forced down In price by any artificial means.
There may be still further flurries in the price of futures, but the
holders of cotton have only to sit steady in the boat. 'These flurries can
not affect the price of spots, unless the holders should he stampeded,
for which there Is no cause.
Cotton will be cotton before another crop can be raised, and spin
ners -will beg for it and be glad to get 14 at almost any price.
GEORGIA FAR AHEAD IN RAILROAD BUILDING
According to statistics Just published there wore built during the
year Just closed 2.748.28 miles of railway In the United States by 190
companies. Of this total Georgia built 146.30 miles. The roads built
were: The Brinson railway, from Springfield to Newington, 18 miles;
Georgia and Florida, from Vldalia to Hazlehurat, 28.40 miles; Georgia,
Florida and Alabama, from Cuthbert to Kimbrough, 19 miles; Oeilla,
Southern, from Oeilla to Allapaha, 15.90 miles; Sparks Western, from
Sparks to Ellenton, 1,0 miles, from Ellenton westward, 3 miles, total
13 miles; Rome and Northern, from Rome to Gore, 20 miles; Valdosta,
Moultrie and Western (not specified), 32 miles.
The Macon Telegraph, after a careful study of this field of railroad
activity as represented by the figures of railroad construction, with par
donable state pride announces that "only four states exceeded this
state in railway construction during tho year.”
What food for thought there Is in tho discovery and first, announce
ment of Ihls fact by the Macon Telegraph!
That paper, as Is well known, is the most pronounced and aggres
sive ns It is tin; ablest of the railroad organs or champions In the
state. As such, in tho gubernatorial campaign preceding the last state
election, It led the opposition to Governor Hoke Smith, basing its an
tagonism to him on the claim that his administration was inimical to
the railroad interests, and therefore retarding the progress of the state.
Tlilh claim was stressed. Tho policy of the state government un
der tils administration was claimed to be railroad baiting. It was de
nounced an demagogy, adopted only for political purposes, which was
driving the railroads to ruin.
Perhaps The Telegraph and other papers which followed Its lead
really believed thlH. Perhaps they wore unable to see that tho decline
in railroad business Just at that time was due to the general business
depression from which the whole country was suffering then. Ilut
whether they willfully misrepresented conditions of cause and effect to
help gain their point, or whether they ignorantly were led to make false
ffepresentatlons, the truth is now brought out In the fact pointed out
by The Telegraph, that the railroad legislation in Georgia and tho
policy of the Hoke Smith administration in regard to railroad regula
tion did not retard railroad development.
For Georgia, claimed to have adopted a policy of railroad baiting and
to ho antagonistic to railroads, exceeded nil other states save three In
new railroad construction. Hud what was claimed been true Georgia
would not be In tha lend In railroad development.
During ihe first half of last year Hoke Smith, the so-called enemy
of tho railroads was governor, yet the greater part of the railroad
building was done during his incumbency of the office. More than that,
railroads cannot bo built In a day, and all plans for railroad building
must be considered and docli 1 I on months before (tie work is done.
So tills load in railroad progress made by Georgia last year must ho
credited to the Hoke Smith administration, during which all the plans
were made and tho greater part of the work dono.
In view of ihese facts who lire the demagogues In relation to this
questiqu of railroad regulation? Will The Telegraph be manly enough
to now tender Its apology to Hoke Smith and confess that It misrep.
resented him?
MR. BRYAN AND THE PRESIDENCY
Our attention In called to tho fact that iho Augusta Herald la
In favor of making Mr. Bryan president of Nicaragua, it's peculiar
and aad how somn folks like to kick people when they are down. —
Wilmington Dispatch.
When one Is moved to anything by tho most philanthropic motive
and the since rest desire to help another, and then bo misunderstood and
charged with the very opposite Intent, it constitutes a sore temptation
to forswear all such attempts in future, to make never again a sug
gestion designed to he helpful to another, to become unsympathetic and
instead of all this to act the dog In the manger or the sour misan
thrope who hns never a pleasant word or wish for anybody. These
thoughts are engendered by the above paragraphic comment.
Mr. Bryan Is not down, unless traveling In countries way down South
he considered down, lie is tho editor of The Commoner, the greatest
paper In the country, to people who regard It so. He Is a successful
lecturer who is almost as good a drawing card ou tho lecture platform
ns Dr. Cook, tho man who didn't go to the north pole. He Is the utitlior
of a number of books from The First Battle which also recorded a
disaster so tragic that tho story of tho Second Battle was never writ
ten, to a volume of hts speeches edited h.v his good wife. He is tn tho
prime of life, and gathering more wisdom and more money every day.
Mr. Bryan is not down; on the contrary he is high up. at least In hts
own estimation.
Not being down folks who like to kick people when they are down
cannot yet have their Inning in regard to him. But even if he were,
tt was the desire to see him rise which prompted The Herald to make
the suggestion that he he made President of Nicaragua.
Mr. Bryan hns a consuming desire to he a president. Ever since
1896 he hus been a perpetual candidate. He has not made more actual
races for this high position than any other man, for he has made but
three, and Mr. Cleveland did the same, hut he has been a pronounced
candidate longer than any other man, living or dead. And think what
It menus with such a dreadful bee buzglng in tho bonnet for such ft
long time and unable to satisfy It! Webster, Clay and Calhoun, the
gnat American trio, each had this bee, for a shorter time, ami each
was disappointed lp this ambition and died of a more or loss broken
heart. James G Blaine, another great man, had this bee and ended his
life in gloom because ho failed to reach the goal. Horace Greely, who
nursed this ambition for only one year and was a candidate but once,
died almost Instantaneously when he found that he wns not elected; arid
Mr Urvan has had this experience three times. The hope to he presi
dent some day will live In him ns long as he lives, and since nothing
is more certain than that the American people will never elect him. all
his remaining years must he unhappy on account of this unfilled
desire.
Now Providence seems to have opened a way. Nicaragua needs a
president, despite the fact that she now has two and a third one al
most In. Mr. Bryan himself seems to have his eye on such a presi
dency, for why else is he making the round of those Smith American
republics from Cuba down, when he has no business there? Then why
not elect him president of Nicaragua? It can be done easily, and Mr.
Knox could have It >1 me as easily as be drove out Zelaya, or as Na
poleon 111 had Maximilian elected emperor of Mexico.
It would make Mr. Bryan happy, it would fill the craving of his
heart And Incidentally it would rid us of him and remove him out of
the way as a stumbling block to Democratic success.
Again we suggest that Mr, Bryan be made president of Nicaragua—
net from a desire to kiek a man when he is down, but from a desire to
help him realize bis consuming desire to be President,

GEORGIA CRACKER GA YNOR’S SECRETARY
Short Sketch of Another Georgian Who Has Won Distinction In
New York
Robert Adamson of Georgia and
Xf• w York, ha.v taken office an secre
tary to tiie mayor of New York- Ti>e
salary is $6,000 a year. He is thirty
ihlx years old.
For fiteen years he has been inter
\ lowing' people who were in the pub
lic eye before he turned in the inter
view copy, and other people who got
Into the focus light a* a result of his
writing about them. Now that he lias
, ascended—or descended—to the ranks
of conspicuous men with ex-officio
news value, it was deemed fitting that
ihe be interviewed for The Editor and
! Publisher.
Here is the sequential data of Mr.
Adamson’s career: He was born on a
fnrm pear Atlanta, Ga., in 1874 and
was reared on that farm in the fertile
section where sweet potatoes and
peaches are staple crops. He went
to the country schools. Then his
cousin, Henry D. McDaniel, was elect
ed Governor of Georgia and “Bob”
went to the legislature as a page dur
ing the sessions of 1884 and 1885. The
best schooling of his youth was in
this environment, he says. Also Clark
| Howell, editor of the Atlanta Const
itution, was his friend and mentor.
|Fo he became a reporter on The Con
j stltution, and after a year was made
city editor. He remained with The
Constitution four years.
In 1897 he went to New York, to
the staff of the Evening Sun, and later
|to the Brooklyn Eagle. When Pom
X. Smith.
Dear Sir: While your administra
tion of the Squirrel Department has
been marked by astonishing extrava
gance, I should like to continue you In
office.
Your buildings to bouse the Brook
lyn' squirrels a.e entirely too ornate.
Plain, comfortable structures would
fulfill the purpose better and would
cost less. What does a squirrel care
about gliding and statuary? Nothing
so far as I have observed. Further,
it Is a waste of money endeavoring to
keep tho squirrels on the ground. Nets
and similar devices are expensive and
inefficient. The effort should bt: given
up and trees provided for the animals
to sleep In.
Care should also be exericsed In the
purchase of nuts. It is needless to
give domestic squirrels Imported nuts,
such as Brazil and English walnuts.
But, on the other hand, the pay
rolls have never been padded. Three
tons of hazelnuts have not been
charged up against four squirrels.

THRIFT AND PROSPERITY
AMONG PRUSSIAN WORKMEN
There is food for thought in tho
statistics Just published by the Prus
sian National Savings banks.
This governmental Institution has
branches throughout Prussia, and in
It are safeguard* d the savings of
Prussians comprising two-thirds of
the population of the German empire.
The deposits are made almost wholly
by the working class They are elo
quent of the amazing growth In the
prosperity of the German Industrial
community.
The report shows that, these de
posits reached a total In 1908 of $2,-
393,250,000, this sum being an excess
of $112,500,000 over the savings In
1907. During the year the deposits
exceeded the w'ithdrawals by $30,-
000,000.
Of equal significance with the in
crease In the total of savings Is tha
rate of Increase in the number of ac
counts. These grew' twice as fast
as the ratio of increase In the popula
tion. The statistics show that there
are now thirty savings accounts to
every 100 of the people, or that, ap
proximately, one of every three Ger
mans Ims a bank book and a finan
cial anchor to windward
FLIRTING AND DYSPEPSIA
An actress -her name It suppressed
for advert Ising purposes—comes out
boldly and lias her press agent say
that flirting Is a remedy for dyspep
sin, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Next to a cold there Is no human
ailment that suggests as many posi
tive cures as does dyspepsia. But no
body ever thought of dosing It with
flirting until the actress made her an-
I nouncement.
The fact that a man with dyspepsia
] has about as little desire to flirt as a
rabbit has to fight a bull terrier, does
j not prejudice the cure. By concen
trating his mind on the remedy the
sufferer may In time forget the mal
(assimilation and all those side symp
toms that go to the making of a per
fect sample of Indigestion.
it Is a pltv, of course, that so many
| dyspeptics are middle aged and fat
anil scant of both breath and romance,
and not calculated to throw Into a
flirtatious campaign the amoynt of
confidence that Insures success. There
:ire dyspeptics whose children and
i grandchildren would seise upon them
!;md lock them safely away, If they
were caught while testing the new
ouVo.
In short, it is a remedy that should
be branded "dangerous" and put on a
shelf that children cannot reach.

LETTERS TO AND BY AN IMAGINARY POLITICIAN
(BY WEX JONES.)
eroy Burton went from The Eagle to
The World, Adamson went with him,
ten years ago. He became the New
York city political reporter and writer
for The World and kept that assign
ment until his appointment as secre
tary to Mayor Gaynor, excepting an
interim when he was day city editor
of Tin? World. Among his special as
signments, it is noted that he was in
charge of the relief train which The
World sent to Galveston, Texas, just
after the tidal wave disaster.
Before getting right down to the
strict interview, it was proper that I
should observe Mr. Adamson in the
same manner, so far as possible, that
he was wont to- use with famous men
he had interviewed.
He says he is "a Georgia cracker.”
He seems glad of it. The type is tall
and spare; he is not an exception.
He has blue eyes—Georgia blue eyes
—the heritage given down by the
Scotch and English and Irish who
first came to Georgia with Oglethorpe
But the most salient Georgia char
acteristic in his ensemble is the soft
Southern "drawl.” His thirteen years
in New York has not harshened it.
Evidently It is inherent, insusceptible,
lndeciduous. It is utterly pleasing,
and some of his great popularity
among all classes in New York is
due to it. But who shall say wherein
a man’s magnetism Is centered? For
Mr. Adamson is magnetic—without
the soft Georgia tone and accent.—
Editor and publisher.
Your suggestions about buildings
have been noted, and I shall be care
ful that nothing but plain hutches are
erected in future. As you justly re
mark, squirrels care little for archi
tecture, although they are great on
nuts. •

Dear Sir: On reading your letter
continuing me as Squirrel Commis
sioner I have come to the conclusion
that It Is unwarranted and insulting.
The buildings erected while I was in
office have been only fitting the dig
nity of the city and the needs of the
squirrels.
I cannot continue to serve under you
any longer and herewith tender my
resignation.

This showing Is made notwithstand
ing the sums paid from the wages ot
workers into the fund that provides
old age pensions, sick, life, and acci
dent insurance and which maintains
great sanatoria for the treatment of
tuberculosis and nervous breakdown.
The Prussian Savings bank has tha
same plan that is sought to be ad
ministered here In the postal savings
banks Its success should be a
spur to those who are fighting for
these additions to our banking sys
tem.
Dr. Henry Greund, head of the im
perial German labor bureau, said,
while on a recent visit to this coun
try, that, if America did not soon
make adequate provision for the se
curity of the money of Its workers and
for their care during periods of dis
abllty the tide of emigration would
set toward Germany.
This will scarcely come true, but
the possibility should set us thinking.

GOETHE'S PRBPHECY
The aniversary of the completion of
lihe Suez Canal has called forth in
I Vienna a reminiscence of a prophecy
by Goethe. On July 21, 1827, Goethe
said: "So much is certain: If a chan
nel could be cut through the Isthmus
of Panama broad enough and deep
enough to allow the passage of ships
from the Mexican waters to the Paci
fic, the whole world would be great
ly benefited. I should like to see this,
but fear I shall not live long enough.
I should like to see the Knglish build
a canal at fuez. but would probably
; have to live another fifty years." The
canal became a fact forty-two years
latter Goethe prophesied it.
