DURING the campaign just closed,
the people of Atlanta have had their
first object lesson Of what a newspaper
ought to be. The Georgian has shown
them. Though very good newspapers
in other respects, the Constitution and
the Journal have never been reliable as
to news of campaigns in which they
were interested. They were absolutely
unable to see more than one side of
a political fight Two years ago. for
instance, the Journal was all for Hoke
Smith and the Constitution was all for
Clark Howell. An exclusive reader of
either was not allowed to think that
the opposing candidate was even be-
ing considered. Both papers made
themselves positively stupid by print
ing the results of polls Of all kinds of
crowds Even where it was a bunch
of three or four men, in u street
car. if the majority was for Smith,
the journal would print it, and
if the majority was for Howell
the Constitution would print it. The
Georgian tried to give the news as it
was. and as the news showed Smith to
be the stronger candidate, the Geor-
igian was naturally classed as a Smith
paper. IN the campaign just closed,
the Georgian has been pursuing the
same policy in giving news only that it
thought was correct. 1t was rOundly
abused by the Smith men, and Govern
or Smith himself denounced the paper
las dishonest and prejudiced. But the
result seems To show that the Georgian
has been dealing honestly with its
readers all along. and the prestige Of
the Georgian is largely increased. The
real function of an honest newspaper
is to give the news honestly; but there
are So many papers that think and act
otherwise that it is not surprising that
there are thousands of people who are
unwilling to tolerate such Il policy.
The general public is made up Of peO-
pie of all shades of opinions, and they
include many who think their newspa-
pers should hold out as facts things
that they would like to have as facts,
whether such things are facts or not.
But the newspaper man of even Ordi-
nary balance realizes that he must take
them but as they are.

HOLD, SAYS HARRIS.

Mr. B. Harris, president Of the Far
mers' Union, has issued another ad'
dress on the subject of holding cotton
1t is full of confidence and it is inter
esting. Here it is:
"On June l the state presidents o.
the Farmers Union met in Memphis
Tenn. A full delegation was in at
tendance.
THE principal object of the meeting
was to estimate the acreage and croI
conditions.
After a close investigation we fine

lowest average for the last ten years
The flooded districts were not counted
as it will be thirty days before the re-
suits will be known. If we had consid'
cred the flooded districts the acreage
would have been lower, and also con-
dition, as we could not figure on some
thing we did not know what the out
come would be.
Hold spots. Remember futures can
not be spun, and both European anc
American mills are about out of cot
ton. Boys. hold, hold, hold, and the
minimum price will cOme-4,50 ,OO(
bales short in 1907 crop. The broker
has sold your cotton to the manufac-
turers and they cannot spin futures, sc
spots he must have to deliver Hole
and get your price.
From the reports of all the state
presidents arrangements have beer
made to carry the remainder or the
crop for an indefinite time.
THE farmers are making the 1903
crop with the least expense than they
have in several years. and will be ir
better shape to hold their cotton this
year than any year. There has beer
more food crops planted this year thar
any.
L was asked while in Memphis by
a cotton man if we had any cotton IN
South Carolina. The reason he asked
this question was because South
Carolina manufacturer was trying tc
buy cotton over there. | told him we
had it, but it is Is cents cotton. he
replied: Il have it. but it is Is cents
too"
THE mills will need all the cotton in
sight before any more comes in You
may rest assured the crop is fifteen
dayS late. The crop remnant is Vlr-
tually cornered naturally.
IF the present holders, who are the
farmers. will only be brave and have
the manhood to stand for the minimum

cotton cannot go up as long as the far
mers hold it, They sold futures down.
down. to try to scare you out of your
spot cotton and force you to sell, when
they would put the price to your figure
to show YOU how powerful they are
and what fool you are.
We are glad tn know some of our
farmers have backbone made of iron
rods and held to their spots.
Mill stocks are short all over the
world. American exports are short l.
OS1,946 bales compared with 1907, so
ynu see cotton they must have.
. Boys, hold spots: the manufacture
ers are hunting them. They are scare
er than they have been in twenty five
wears. Goods are getting scarcer every
day and will in a short time be high.
The question is where will the world
supply it's actual needs for spot cotton
unless it calls on the holding farmer
for his Is cents cotton.

There are a good many people who
seem to be disappointed over the size
Of the sewerage pipes, the impression
among them being that the pipes are
too small. These pipes, however, are
plenty large enough for the object in
view They are purely for sanitation
purposes, or more particularly speaking
for the benefit of those who desire to
install bath tubs and water closets in
their homes. The sewer is not intend
ed to carry off surface water and filth
at all.
- A few bales Of cotton were sold in
YOrkvile last Saturday at II cents a
pound, and some few bales were de-
clined at that price. The buyers were

and they were not buying any more
until obliged to for fear Of disturbing
the situation. The buyer thought that
the tendency would be more upward
as the mills were obliged to have cot
ton.
- There is common complaint among
citizens at the failure of the town
council to publish annually state
ment of the towns receipts and dis
bursements. The town charter re-
auires such publication and provides a
penalty for neglect to do so. There Is
no good reason to suppose that any Oh
the towns funds have been misappro-
priated and there is no reason to sup
pose that any payments are being
made that should not be made; but
the citizens Of the town would be very

THE election in Georgia indicates
that the people of that state calculate
that because a man has had one term
of office is no special reason why he
should have another. AS matter oi
fact, this two term business is a mighty
poor argument upon which to int1u-
ence a vote. The majority make mis-
takes sometimes, and it is very silly
not to correct such mistakes at the
earliest opportunity The people OF
Georgia have evidently done their
best. Length of service, however
should depend altogether on the fitness
and acceptability of the incumbent
An unjust or unacceptable man should
congratulate himself that he has, by
hook or crook, been permitted to serve
one term. A fit and acceptable mar
has a right to expect the sufferance Of
the people indefinitely. To say that
man is entitled to a second term be-
cause he has served a first term is
about as satisfactory as the reason
given why a little dog always turn:
round twice before finally sitting
down on its tail-One good turn de-
serves another.

FROM the News and Courier of yes
terday. we learn that the executive
committee of the Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancement of Teaching, has
voted to Col. Asbury Coward, re-
tiring salary of $3.50 a year to be
paid to him during the remainder of
his life. We have been noting with
much interest the names Of the differ
ent educators that the executive COM
mittee Of the Carnegie Foundation has
been selecting for this noble benefit
especially the South Carolina names
and while we have been impressed
with the justice and prOpriety Of each
selection, we sincerely believe this to
in the entire list. Col. Coward began
his work in Yorkville in 1855, under
the brightest and most encouraging
auspices. He did his work faithfully
and thoroughly until 1861, when he
laid it aside temporarily to take up
what was inquestiOnably a higher duty,
the defense of his native state. After
the war he was needed more than at
the beginning; but where in 1855, his
work seemed to promise mostly honor
and pleasure, in 1865 there was moth
ing in the future but privation and sac
rifice more cumbersome, if possible, than
was imposed by the war itself. But
he did not hesitate. Taking up the
task with cheerful firmness, he con-
tinued his work with that grim, un-
swerving devotion to duty that char
acterized his conduct on a score of
battlefelds. and did as much for ed
ucation in South Carolina as any other
man who has labored in the state. Col.
Coward is deserving Of a liberal PEN
sion from the state of South Carolina;
but since that is out of the question,
we hail with especial and particular
pleasure this splendid benefit from the
Carnegie Foundation.
