THOMSON, GA., FEB. 20, 1909
MR. TAFT ON THE SOUTH.
We »ra in roccipt of a luttor
from Mr. Andrew Carnegie enclon-
ingn copy of a speech by President
elect Taft, delivered in New York
city Dec. 7, 1908. Mr. Carnegie
atntes that he wan bo impressed
with the fairness of the address
delivered by Mr. Taft that he lias
thought proper to have it printed
and distributed throughout the
South ami asks us to publish same
in full. The length of the articlo
in question prevents us from pub
lishing it as requested. .Suffices
it to say that it is a conservative
speech and not calculated to give
offense to the southern people,.
However, we make room for o 10
paragraph touching upon the vast
development of the South in the
*’ last twenty-five years. It stands
almost without a paraded in his
tory and even the panic of 1907
has not seriously checked it, The
paragraph referred to is ns follows:
“Again, for a long tune succeed
ing the war, the South continued
poor. Its development was much
slower than that of the rest of the
country. Prosperity ssemod to be
Northern prosperity not Southern.
And, in such a time, the trials of
life of the present only accentuat
ed the greater trials of the pant,
and reminiscences of the dreadful
sufferings and privations of the
war wore prusent on every lmud,
and feeliugs that the controversy
had given rise to, remained with
an intensity that hardly seemed to
l>e dimmed by passing time.
But times change, and men
change with them in any commu
nity, however fixed its thoughts or
habits, and many circumstances
have blcssod us with their influ
ence in this matter.
The growth of the South since
1890 has been marvelous. The
manufacturing capitnl in 1880 was
$260,000,009, io 1890, $050,000,
000, ill 1900, $1,150,000,000 and
in 1908, $2,100,000,000, while the
value of the manufactures increas
ed from $460,000,00(1, in 1880 to
$900,000,000, in 1890, to $1,450,
000.000 in 1900. and to *2,000,000,
000, in 1908. The farm products
in 1880 were $000,000,000, in 1890
were $770,000,000, in 1900, $1,270,
000,000, in 1908 $2,220,000,000.
The exports from the South in
1881 wore $200,000,000, in 1890
$806,000,000, in 1900, $484,000,
000, and in 1908. $648,000,000.
In this marvelous growth the
manufacturers of the South now
exceed the agricultural products,
and thus a complete change has
come over the character of her in
dustries. The South has become
rich, and only the sarfuce of her
wealth has been scratched. l Jor
growth has exceeded that of the
rest of the country, and she is now
in every way sharing in its pros
perity.”

And in reading the account of
this Cooper trial, you are always
impressed with tho idea that there
is going to be a buttle. They have
gotten together all the generals in
that section of the country and
tmed them up on one side or the

VP IN TENNESSEE.
Up in Tennessee they have a
peculiar way of running their
courts. To begin with, it takes
them as long to prepare tor a
trial as it does to prepare fora
buttlo. Not a battle of law, logic,
or intellect, but a regular battle
iu which men are arrayed one
against the other.
And then when it comes to
triRl it looks like a battle. Take
for instance the Heclfoet Lake
cases, which wore tried after
about thirty or forty daya with u
regimont of soldiers camped in
aild around the court house.
Aud now comes the Cooper case
at Nashville. Here in Georgia wo
would aoisfiidor a murder case t hat
extepied over a month as a kind
of record breaker, but up there it
required more than that much
time to strike tho jury. It seems
that they have a way of trying
th- j urors up there and being on u
RACE QUESTIONS IN THE WEST-
Tho various race questions com
ing to tho front from tho Western
States are receiving 'more careful
attention than those which have
originated in the South for the
past thirty years or more. When
California and Nevada desired to
separate tho Japs and other Asi
atics into sopurate schools as they
Jiad a legal and constitutional
right to do, the National govern
ment at WuBhinglon immediately
got busy and used all of its power
prestige and influence for the
suppression ot this legislation
which was known to reflect tho
wishes of the people of their re
spective states.
At that time there were people
who wero mean enough to inti-
nittto that behind the brown men
from Japan stood n powful navy
and a veteran army both spoiling
for ft light. On the other hand,
there were those who said that the
President’s sense of justice, was
responsible for his action. It
occurs to us that the test is now
up to Toddy and we will now
know whether it was Ins sense of
justice that was responsible for
those telegrams or th6 war dogs of
Japan.
Last Huudivy, in south Omaha
tho race question sprang up again.
This time it was directed against
tho Greeks. Their houses were
pillag'd, their wives and children
stoned and every one of them
compelled to leave that city They
sought rofuge in Omaha proper
and at a mass meeting attended
by fifteen hundred of their coun
trymen, they called on their coun
try and their king to demand
justice from tho great American
nation.
Greece is a little country with
no army aud no navy to speak of
and not more than two million of
inhabitants.
In one instance, the states of
California and Nevada wero do
ing vvliat they had a right to do.
lu the other, tho people of Nebras
ka did what they had neither the
legal nor the moral right to do. (
The question is square up to
Teddv. Is ho bending tho km o to
tho Japs over warscare, or is he
simply dealing out justice to
friendly foreigners sojourning
among us ? The world will watch
with interest.
the expenditures are from something
that has already been done and accom
plished and result known.
But let us look at this second Christ
mas. Not less than seventy-five per
cent of the expenditures made during
this second Christmas will represent
advances made upon implanted crops.
And from March first until the gather
ing season arrives, from month to
month these advances will continue to
be made. In other words, this next
crop, unknown and uncertain ns to
what it will be, will tie largely devour
ed in the making.
Of course the woild must move, the
crops must be made, ami these advan
ces are necessary. But would it not be
well for each of us to holddown within
the closest limit possible the amount of
Incumbrance that wc place on unmade
dops. Sooner or later tho farmers of
the South will release themselves fiotn
the ties which have bound them to
the old system of farming, but it will
only lie done when tho crops of one
yeur is mude from the proceeds of the
i’hkcekdino year.
