President johnson Issues Gail.
President M. l. Johnson Of the Geor-
gia division of the Southern Cotton
Association, has issued an address to
the people of Georgia, asking their
support in the cotton holding move
ment and the reduction of the acre
age. He also calls for mass meetings
in every county. His call, in part, fol-
lows:
The Georgia division of the South
ern Cotton Association at their meet
ing on the 21st instant honored me by
my election to its presidency.
1t provided for meetings taking place
in each county of the state or the first
Tuesday of March, April and May, re-
spectively; and by the authority thus
vested in me, | hereby call said meet
ing for each of said days in each OF
said months.
Georgians in the continuation Of
fight for right, justice, the freedom of
your calling and fair remuneration
for your labors, let me warn you not
to underestimate the resources, wiles,
devices, efforts and determination OF
your enemies.
Be there a man in Georgia who will
now sell his cotton below the price
fixed? Be there one who is not SO
thrilled with pride and love of Geor-
gia that he can stay out and fail to
aid in winning this fight?
Who is there within this great state
who does not wish and who will not
bear his part in this fight we are
now Waging. Men, we must whip
them to standstill; we can do it.;
we have only to continue in future as
we have for the past thirty days. They
no longer doubt we will stick; that we
will hold. They have changed their
point Of attack. They now say we
won't reduce. Yet, the information
continues to come: Acreage being re
duced from 25 per cent to so per cent;
indeed at every point our line grows
and moves forward with no evidence
Of wavering. Scarcely car of fer.
tilizer moving.
The watchword should be "Organ.
ize;" house to house canvass take
place, till not a man is missed; see
that everyone has the opportunity Of
Joining and doubt not he will do so,
for there is not fair man in this
great state who is not with us in this
fight. He only wants the opportunity
of helping us.

"Hello there, Crockett here's lot
of your constituents on parade. Where
are they going?"

Where the South Leads.

Chicago Chronicle.
No one section Of this country has a
monopoly Of civic virtues, but there Is
some foundation for the claim Of a
Sou I,arr conten porary that the aver
age OF tficia morality is higher III
Southern cities than in Northern mu-
inequalities.
At least the South has had no such
scandals a. those which have rendered
Minneapolis and Philadelphia notori-
ocs St Louis his a record which
not sweet In The nostriIs, but St. Louis
is more OF Northern than Southern
city The South has & pretty good
record in this respect.
We may go even farther than the
Southern newspaper referred to and
admit that the South can afford to
challenge com parlson n the matter OF
State Legislatures also. The scandals
In these bodies are relatively few In the
Southern States, and SO far as recol-
lection may by relied upon, there has
been no talk of yenallty 10 the choice
of United States Senators in the South
since reconstruction days. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that SO much cannot
be asserted Of IA good many Northern
States.
1t may be said, in short, that the
Idea of personal integrity is a power
full Influence in Southern official life.
1t is al influence far more powerful
than the fear OF the law, and this is
true IN the private as we'll as the public
lie of the South. When the point Of
honor is raised tho law receives scant
consideration.
Thus the same Influence which
tends to raise the standard of Southern
official morality also tends toward
disregard Of law in matters where per-
sonai punctilio is involved. The sys-
tenn has disadvantages as we'll as ad-
vantage.
It may be conceded, however, that
the Sol, n has the advantage of some
sectors Of the North in the matter OF
freedom from official scandals as it has
OF all sections CT the North in the
small s:ourtesies aud politeness of life
which, We la the North are too busy,
apparently, to cultivate.
