A GOVERNOR WHO GETS RE
SUITS.

The fulfllment of practically ev-
cry promise made, the. attainment of
every important result aimed at, by
Governor Conner, when he made his
campaign in Alabama, is now either
an accomplished fact or in sight.
Hard upon the call for an extra
session of the Alabama legislature,
whose object was to bring definite
settlement of the important ques-
tions upon which the people of that
state had acted, all but one of the
railroads have come to the governor s
terms and have entered an agreement
to put in the Georgia rates as de-
manded.
The railroads knew the governor
meant business. The legislature in its
regular session had failed to complete
the work of reform which had been
promised the people of the state.
There were certain essential features
Of the program which the governor
sought to carry out in the absence Of
legislative action. Unsuccessful III
this, he called the Legislature to meet
to complete the job.
This evidence Of his determination
has already produced results. Most

THE VALUE OF OLD COTTON
STALKS.

The hog, we are told, has been util-
lied down to the very last notch,
everything except the squeal.
And now the same results are
sought for with the cotton plant, ex-
hausting its possibilities.
It is stated that the last issue of
The Cotton Journal, published at At
lanta, was bound in a cover of white
paper that had been manufactured
from old cotton stalks. An authority
describes the paper as being heavy
ealendared and, with a fine gloss and
in every way equal to the best grades

OF wood pulp paper.
The paper was made by q Philadel-
phia establishment under a patent
process, owned by citizens of that
town. The only question remaining
to be settled is, "Can it be econo-
mically manufactured Z"
1t has been roughly estimated that
l0,00G,0o0 tons of fiber could be avail
able for working up into 100000
tones Of newspaper material if it can
be shown fully practicable. Doubt
less this will be demonstrated before
very long.
And, by the way, we have another
great fiber plant in the South in the
way Of the okra plant. Some expert
ments ought to be made with it. 1t
is possible that it mas exceptional
value for making into certain fabrics
that would warrant its culture
for that purpose. But as it is, the

great industry, and therefore its

suspense.
Let's know what we have got to
do, and dc it; what we are going to

done for the Postmasters of Fourth
Glass Offices. We want to see them
actually placed within the classified
service, although they are theoretical
ly included at the present time. To
actually place them within the classi-
fed service would be but the work Of
q moment and the benefit to the serv-
ice would be beyond comprehension.
Once placed within the classified serv>
ice, they should be compensated prop
erly for the work they perform. They
are working now on the same basis
they did in 1874 simply because no
one has had sufficient interest in them
to suggest change. No Postmaster
General down to Cortelyou ever recog-
nized them. Does any one suppose
that any business of any kind can run
for 33 years without readjustment
or some change of some kinda Think
of the changed conditions in this coun-
try in 33 years! At that time Tin
1874 it is probable the Government
could not afford to do better. Because
Postmasters paid their rent and fur
nished their heat and light as we'll as
practically everything else that was
needed to carry on the business of
their Offices out Of their own pockets
then are they to do so today?
Why Should Postal Service Be Self
Sustaining?
What about the millions Of dollars
that it costs to run the War and Ma
Wv Departments? Why not make the
battleships in time Of peace carry
freight or passengers from port to
port and turn in revenue to the Gov
ernment, or why not make the soldiers
when they are not fighting build roads
or work in shops and turn in some
revenue to the Government? On
what theory does Congress, or who
ever is responsible, figure that the
Post-Office Department must break
even on expenses when the Post-Of-
flee Department is of more actual
service to the people of this country
than all the other departments COM

Of the employees Of the Post-Office
Department, numbering sixty-fve

governors terms, which were in
dorsed at the ballot box, and it has
been made a part of the government
that none of the rights of the parties
at interest, under it, shall be affect
ed by any legislation which may, per-
chance, be enacted at the extra ses-
sion.
After all, it is results that count,
and in Alabama the extra session pro-
ject is more than vindicated in adj
vance of the assembling.
Perhaps the most important result
accomplished in the Alabama case is
the definite settlement of the ques-
tions at issue and the removal of all
doubt as to the future. Both the peo-
pie and the railroads know just what
they may expect; just what they are
going to get.
There remains no Damoclean sword
hanging III the air to fall upon the
head of industrial progress the mo-
ment it bestirs itself. Investment
and construction may proceed with
something approaching absolute
knowledge of what they have got to
meet; they have got their yardstick
and may cut their cloth accordingly.
Over here in Georgia we are still
up in the air, as it were. The Georgia
legislature, in regular session, did but
httle-and what little it did was
thought by many to be too much; the
railroad commission has taken no
step even indicative of it's future pol
icy as to the great questions which
were involved in the campaign and
promised in the Macon platform.
From any standpoint from which
it may be viewed, both an extra ses-
sion of the general assembly and some
definite announcement Of purposes
or, better still, some positive action
by the railroad commission are
much to be desired.
Mr.. Watson has urged, even de-.
manded, an extra session of the gen
eral assembly, conscientiously be-
Eeving that the legislative body failed
in its duty when it adjourned with
much of the Macon platform remain
ing in its pigeonholes. From his
standpoint he is right when he de-
mands that the railroad commission
shall proceed to carry into effect the
promises Of the campaign. He re-
CARDS them in a certain sense as his
promises; for, as he says, he Gin
dOrsed the note and it has to be paid,
or he will know the reason why"
Viewed from the most conservative
standpoint, these eventualities are no
less desirable and important, Even
those who do not approve the full ex-
tent to which the Macon platform
would go, may still justly and right
eously demand that there be final
ity TO the suspense which is produc-
ing stagnation.
An extra session of the legislature
now and little prompt and positive
action-whatever it may be-on the
part Of the railroad commission would

M. G. Toms no end Of trouble, He and
Mr.. A. B. Calvert are o In a posi-

both have grievances against the Hust-
Ter. They both now fully realize what

Capt. Toms says he has received not
less than a peck Of letters asking him
for Information about ginsing culture.
Some Of the letters are brief, many are
long, very, very : long, and enclose a
list Of questions to be answered in de-
tail. Many Of the anxious inquirers
wish to know II the statement published
in. this paper that he received $685. Is

but If he had held on to his crop for
two weeks longer he would have receiv-
