Editor Morning News: 1t strikes me
that the citizens of this city would stop
sleeping. while every city, village and town
in the whole South is reaching out to take
in the good things that nature has pre-
pared for them, and willing to hand over
just for the asking. Shall Savannah sit
still and let every village have a cotton
factory, when we have every facility to
compete with the world in the manufac-
turing Of cotton goods? Can We afford to
fold our hands and watch the great naval
traffic that we have prided ourselves on
having, pass down the coast of Florida
and see the little towns in the interior
manufacture the bulk of the cotton that
has been going through our port without
making some effort to replace the trade
that IS bound TO leave Us with something
else that win utilize both labor and capt
tai? X. X. X.

Efforts to Convince Public That Car
ter Was Prosecuted.

Efforts to Convince Public That Car
ter Was Prosecuted.
The current Engineering News deals edi-
torially with some of The points that have
been overlooked by those who have been
writing cOmmunica, ions in the effort to
show that Capt Oberlin NJ. Carter has
been a greatly prosecuted man Among
other things he Engineering News says:
We commented SO fully upon this case
in our issue of Sept. T. that it is needful to
say little more at this time. The attempt
on the part of Carters attorneys to mis-
lead the public into the belief that their
client is an innocent victim of persecution
has failed. as il deserved to fail. He has
had every opportunity TO clear himself,
first, before a board from his own corps
and later, before a general courtmartal;
and the delay in the execution of his SEN
tence, and, the patient hearings given by
the President and his advisers 10 Iepe ated
appeals fiom his attorneys for a disap-
pTOVal or revision of his sentence, have
been such as have never been before ex-
tended 10 any cu.prit after conviction by
courtmart.al in the whole history of the
government.
Regarding his letter, which was pub
lished in these columns last week, it seems
needful TO add one comment to those al
ready made, His slurs against his success
sor, Capt Gillette, and his former assist
ants, Messrs. Gieseler, Twggs and Cooper
deserve severe condemnation. These men
are all engineers of intelligence, ability and
reputation. They had nothing whatever to
gain by the testimony which they gave
against Capt. Carter. On the contrary,
Capt. Gillette, in particular put at risk
his own reputation and official position ;
for had the prosecution failed TO convict
Carter there can be no manner of doubt
that that officer with his wealth and in
fluence and VIDE circle of friends would
have been able 40 retaliate most effective
by. Capt. Gillette has performed a very
hard, disagTeeable and dangerous duty, in
whose performance there was neither
glory nor the hope of reward and he de-
serves public credit for ii. Many an en-
gineer in a similar position would have
turned back from such task and argued
that it was none Of his business what his
predecessor had done. 1t is fortunate for
the county that Capt. Gillette did not take
that view of his oath 10 defend the
United States and its interests. The pros
ecution, which was initiated through his
disclosures, and whose final result we
have just recorded, has cleared the air
Capt. Carter's fan is a sanitary warning
TO every man in similar responsible posi-
ton not to daily with temptation; and as
We said in our issue Of Sept. 7. we repeat:
that it would be a gain tor civilization if
every man accused of falsity to trust
could be tried by court SO competent to
sift evidence and determine the truth as
mat which passed upon the case of Capt
Carter.
