Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1904-10-20

Iowa is the greatest corn grow
ing state in the world, and pro-
duces one-c1cventh Of the total
corn crop Of the United States,
yet this year, after growing her
corn and wheat crop, Georgia
sold her cotton crop for $80,00O,-
900, enough to pay cash for every
bushe1 of corn grown in Iowa.
1t should encourage us to feel
that back Of us we have this i'm
perial money producing crop; a
perpetual inheritance hedged
about by climatic conditions and
protected from world competition
which threatens the other crops.
Once free from debt, let us stay
out of debt and control our own
product, and we will see no more
2 or 6 cent cotton crops.
The question may be asked
with such advantages, Why does
not Georgia and the south adj
vance more rapidly in wealth? l
reply our people are advancing
and the increase has been great
during the past three years, and
and this advance is il the face of
a tremendous drain which is not
apparent to every one.
Through the operation of the
tariff and internal revenue, it is
estimated that the south pays
S30,000,000 a year toward the
government pension bill. This
sum is Except a small fraction(
transferred to northern states
and the mountainous districts of
thesouth, and helps enrich them.
Georgia's proportion of this pay
ment is some $4,00O,oOO, equal
to half her states debt, paid
every year. If it were paid by
the state as direct tax it would
probably raise political revo1u-
ton but this drain goes on silent
1y and many are not aware of it,
and it will go on when the last

crease in the worlds consum o.
ton, the world must depend on
our country.
If we keep out of debt and mar.
kct this crop wisely without the
pressure of debt we ought to ben
eht enormously as time goes on
from this great treasure. This
years cotton crop, including the
seed, sold for $65O,OOO,OOO; be-
sides furnishing the mills north
and south with all they used, VIC
exported enough to bring $780,.
100000 gold to this country.
This is onc-fourth as much gold
as California has produced since
the discovery of the precious
metal there.
Six hundred and fifty million
dollars was enough to buy every
bushe1 of wheat raised in the
United States and leave $15O,OOO,.
900 to the good.
It was enough to buy and pay
for half the corn crop of two and
one-ha1f billion bushels grown ir
the United States. The corn
crop is the only one of the great
crops that exceeds in value the
cotton crop.

Before Closing Again in Death
Grapple Near Mukden.

With both armies exhaus ted
by the long, continued and des-
perate fighting, and roads made
impossible and streams bank-fu1l
from recent torrentia1 rains,
there has been lull in the active
operations along the Shakhe
river.
Today's dispatches say that
yesterday passed quietly, and
the brief advices bearing on the
situation as existing today indi-
cate that the battle has not been
resumed. The Russians still
hold the important position of
Lone Tree Hill, where the fight
ing of the most desperate char
acter took place and General SAX
harotf's army has been slightly
advanced.
A veil is drawn over the
general situation, but the net re-
suit of the tremendous battle
seems to be that Oyama, while
elfrctually checking the Russian
advance, has been unable to
follow it up with a vital blow, and
has himself been checked in his
effort to advance his position.

SOuth'S Cotton Crop
Mr.. S. VI. Inman Writes Of the Great Staple
Crop Of the South and Presents
Some Startling Figures
From Wednesdays Constitution.

From Wednesdays Constitution.
While in St. Louis recently
Colonel Dudley M.Hughes, Pres
ident Of the Agricultural Society
of Georgia in discussing cotton in
comparison with other staples in
the great Agricultural building
at the fair, asked Mr.. S. M. In
man to write him a letter giving
his views of the value of cotton as
one of the resources of the south.
Mr.. 1nmau has replied as fol-
lows:
ASTOUNDING COTTON FIGURES.
Colonel Dudley M. Hughes,
President Georgia Agricultural
Society-My Dear Sir: You ask
me to say something about cotton
the great product Of the south.
Few of us without studying the
question, realize what an import
ant part this staple plays in the
financial and industrial history
Of the worlds consumption.
Limited by climatic conditions to
our part of the union, the cotton
growers of America have the
most perfect agricultural monop-
oily in the world.
For forty years foreign lands
have by governmental influence
and money, and by private CAPT
tai and enterprise, tried to build
up cotton growing in competition
with the south. But the aggre-

ion is dead, and perhaps when
all his children are dead.
The defeated in modern wars
have usually paid the penalty but
this is the most ingenious, insid-
uous silent and enormous penal
ty ever laid upon a defeated pco-
ple;ln theaggregate, a far greater
penalty per capita than ever Ma
poleon laid upon those whom he
crushed, or the Germans exacted
from the French.
Had it not been for our natural
resources and energy, we would
never have stood up under it But
IN spite Of all this, things are
coming our way. We arc get
ting out of debt-we are doing
better farming, more manufact-
uring and learning better how to
market our crops.
We are manufacturing 2,000,-
600 bales of cotton year, adding
easily S1OO,O00,00O to the value OF
the raw cotton. The future is
bright with promises if we are
but true TO the high character,
the indomitable energy and great
souls of the fathers and mothers,
who, coming out of the most des-
olatirg war in modern history,
found the country a desert ard
brought it to its present position
Of greatness and prosperity.
Sincerely yours,
S. M. INMAN.
P. S.-Since this letter was
written the government report
of exports showed the value of
cotton exported for the year end
ing July l was $37O,OOO,O0O. This
is S27,00O,O00 more than the COM
bined value Of the grain and bread
stuffs and meat products export
cd from the United States for the
same period.

The Real Issue.

MODll6 Register.
 The Louisville Courier-Journal de- votes three columns of editorial space to the political issue and concludes that Rooseveltism or radicalism and Parker ism or conservatism Gin the treatment of race relations) from the real and only issue. It is an issue vital to the South Its decision means a great deal to the peace and happiness of our peo- pie. white and black. The negroes are said to be praying for the election of MT. Roosevelt, but if the election of MT. Roosevelt means a continuance of the ill-feeling between the races which they ought to pray for his defeat. He can do nothing for them but embitter further their relations with the whites MT. Mckinley was their true friend and lowed them to work out their relations with the whites. Mir Roosevelt has obtruded; he has sought to hasten the march of events; he has taken things out of their proper order and fore them to the front. The Southern whites believe he has the design to shake their control of public affairs in the South, dustrial structure will go to ruin. The issue down here is that this is the white mans country The white man dis covered 1t, conquered it. cultivated 1t, made 1t what it is and is responsible for 1t. In thousand years the black people can show no such achievement ana we do not believe they could keep this country going were the control of 1t placed in their hands and the whites were to move out. It is well recog- nized that if the whites part with con trol they must leave; and it is believed that were they to leave. the South would sink into barbarian,
 Of course, the whites are not going No one who loves his country, no one who really has the welfare of the negroes at heart, should wish for such change; vet the whole Roosveltia n program will result in making 1t harder for the whites to stay and harder for the blacks to get along with the whites. How much harder we do not know. but the events of the past two years of Rooseveltism should con vince any one that the burden will be as great as any people were ever called upon to bear

the day for fare of few cents, and can return when they choose. much of the objection to country life will vanish and with 1t much of the congestion of our urban population. For almost all purposes the country dweliers would be as well of as those of the city. and in many respects the advantages would be largely in their favor.
 Take Montgomery as an example of what might be done. Within a radius of not exceeding ten miles there is ample room for fifty thousand people. allowing two or three acres to each family. and each would have nice home. With street cars making fre- quent trips to and by them these people would practically be Montgomerians. They could do all their trading in the city if they chose, could come In to church, and could even send their chill dren to the city schools if it was neces- sary. With rural free delivery added, these people would have all the con- veniences of the city with the freedom and comforts of rural life. The pros- pect is alluring and will be realized.

OTHER PLACES CAN BE SECURED.

A short time ago The Adver- tiser contained some remarks in refer enee to an office-building in this city in which the difficulty of obtaining a suitable site was referred to and inci- dentally the proposal to secure permis- sion for use of the fountain site in Court Square. If there was no other place in Montgomery available for a modern office-building then The Adver- tiser would be willing for one to be erected under proper safeguards, where the fountain stands, but until 1t Is con . vinced that there is no such place it must withhold support of the proposi- tion.
 That those who own valuable sites will neither sell nor improve them is iamentably true, but other property gan be obtained which will answer ev- cry purpose. Has any effort been made towards securing ground on North or South Court, on Montgomery. North or South Perry. North or South Lawrence, on Dexter Ave- nue, above the postoff1ce, or on Bibb Street. on which to erect an office building? As rule those who would want offices are not compelled to be in the very heart of the business dis trict and in our judgment tenants could just as readily be obtained for offices on any of the above named streets as in a building which it Is proposed to erect on city property. Is not the fact that the ground on Court Square would be obtained practically for noth- ing, largely the milk in the Court Square ofnce- building cocoanut?
 We will not at this time discuss the other phases of this question, but con- fine our opposition simply to the point, that the future of Montgomery does not depend on forcing everything on to Court Square. There are other available places and that being so tht city should not virtually donate ( large part of Court Square to an of fee building syndicate.

Plead the Baby Act.

BaIumOre NeWs.
 Father Schell of Homer ,Neb., has told the Interior Department that agang ot sharpers is fleecing the Winnegbago Indians out of all the money being paid the tribe by the Government, At the same time the gang is violating the liq uor laws of the United states. Father Schell adds he can prove what he says The frauds are open. patent and sham less. Still, the authorities say that they are powerless to prevent it Why power less? Has not the United States De partment of Justice? Has it not sher- ifs courts, juries, iails soldiers? Why should 1t permit the robbery of its wards? The Indian since Mayhower times has been a pretty safe victim for the white man. Possibly some of the sympathy given him has been wasted. But when public money Is appropriated for Lo, if is the business of the nited officers to see that he gets it. No eN- cuse Is worth listening to.

Weighing the office building proposition.

the appointment. and knowing that 1t is a very unusual thing for white Democrats to recommend the appoint ment of negroes to office, I wrote to a prominent citizen of that city and asked if there was any shadow of truth in the statement. Here is his reply: T beg to say that the statement made by party you refer to Is absolutely false. and that on the contrary all the proIcinent merchants. bankers. lawyers and organizations of commercial bodies, citizens. the mayor and others of this city personally and by petitions pro- tested against the appointment of Crum to the said position.
 I challenge the Republican candidate for Congress who made that statement to produce the proof of such state ment." Yours truly,

The Big Stick Doctrine.
Harper's Weekly.


 No former President has ever inti- mated an intention of making this country a collecting agency for orii- nary debts, or of conniving at such a confiscation of the indebted country's revenues as would destroy or seriously impair it's power of self administration and self development To say that we will ourselves reduce. or permit others to reduce, a Latin-A American country to the condition of Egypt because. like Egypt 1t has omitted to pay it's ordi- nary debts, is obviously to expand the Monroe Doctrine in an alarming way. and to an illimitable extent. Yet, as MT. Pulitzer points out. this is precise ly what is implied in the letter of the President which was read at the Cuban dinner If nation" said Mir Roose- welt, shows that 1t knows how to act with decency in industrial and political matters, if 1t keeps order and pays its obligations, then it need fear no inter- ference from the United States" The inevitable and intended inference is that, if q Latin American Republic does not pay it's obligations, then it has rea~ son to dread interference on our part. It is unqucstionably true that this is a dangerous provision of the non-inter- ference doctrine of James Monroe.
