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.” jury is worso than running for the legislature. 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 other. You read of Genl. this and Genl. that and Genl. So and So and what each said and did and then the Judge orders all the pis tols to be brought in at one time. Hire in Georgia, the lawers never get a higher military title than colonel, but up in Tennessee there are no coIouoIb, they are all Gen erals. Second Chrislmas Coming. March the first, otherwise known as the negro’s second Christinas, will be here next Monday and with It will also come court week, which will add something to the merriment of the season. This means of course that “runs” will be opened up March first and already the grocery stores, especial ly have laid in unusually large sup plies to meet this emergency. lloweve. there Is this difference be tween the first and second Christmas which should constantly, he borne hi mind; the large expenditures made by the people generally at and immediate ly before the first Christmas are made from the earnings of the year that has just passed or. perhaps if there have been no earnings, then Ht least from the fragments of crops, etc, that have remained in their hands.

The First National Bank Under United States Supervision And Control. 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.
