MUCH BUSINESS
BEFORE COUNCIL
TAX LEVY FIXED LAST NIGHT AT
IS MILLS FOR THE COMING
YEAR.

Two hours of reports and routine
business made the council meeting
last night tedious grind of monot
ony. The heat was something fierce but
the four councilmen who were present,
Dunham. Stack, Whiteman and Nc
Kean, labored with the grist manfully
and by 10 o'clock all was over. The
meeting was the last which VIII be
held in the present quarters and ad-
journment was taken to the new city
hall on next Tuesday night.
The vote of the city election was
canvassed and with one exception was
found to be all right That exception
was M. E. Crosson, who had five votes
too many by the unofficial count The
change, however, did not in any way
affect the result of the election.
City Clerk Hart read his annual re-
port, document of extraordinary
length and comprehensive in it's treat

flee during the last IL months. Some
Of the striking figures in the state
ment are given:

property as equalized by the city
council, $6,S36,632 receipts for the
past year, $377,132.17, including s14,-

Discussion of the wooden awnings
of the city furnished a lively time for
awhile, protests and recommendations
being read both pro and con. The mat
ter ended by victory for the awnings
and they will be allowed to remain for
awhile, at least.
An ordinance approving and accept

read and passed.
An ordinance distributing the tax

Now we want to emphasize the fact and
throw it in the face Of these manufacturers
that their plans and wishes will cancel $780,
100000 of wealth that justly should be the
farmers to save himself dividend just dur
ing these panicky times.
Moral-If the Southern farmers will strive
to become independent they will own more
wealth in few years than all the cotton
mills in the world are worth.
We are not against cotton mills but we are
against their efforts to cut the farmer out of
a healthy profit on his product.-La Grange

Editorial Note7


The man who can subtract one from two
can t fail to get the idea. In other words,
$4O,0O0,000 Of justly earned and equally
distributed wealth is to be cancelled in order
that the manufacturer of cotton goods may
wiring yet larger profits from his mills
The cotton-mill man has the art of sim
pifcation down fine. Buy cheap run cheap,
sell dear. There's the story in a nutshell
IF by intelligent planting and skilful cultiva-
ton the farmer-always at the mercy of the
elements, anyhoW-has a chance to make a
decent profit on his time and labor, there
must always be found a way to set his efforts
at naught.
The three or four cents reduction in the
price Of raw material means a bigger slice
to each stakeholder when the dividend water
melon is cut. That is all. He cannot eat any
more, for he already exhausts the market for
dainties. He cannot wear any more, for he
and his family have long been clothed in
purple and fine linen He derives no added
pleasure, partakes Of no comfort not already
his, but he gloats over bank account
swollen a bit the more
What the reduction in the price means to
the farmer, we dimly realize. We know it
means heart-ache We know it means that
the father must try to tell the boys and girls
what their mother has not the courage to
falter through her sobs that school is not
possible for them. They must bury their
aspirations and become "hewers of wood and
drawers of water" Negro children nurtured
by mistaken Northern philanthropy, may avail
themselves of "higher education Our
farmers sons and daughters perhaps can
scarcely read or write
We know it means unified mortgages We
know it means a bending Of the back to
harder burdens The courage Of other days is
gone; the hope of ever 'getting ahead" is
and life on the old farm settles down
to unleavened drudgery.
Of course, the mills may curtail the con-
sumption of cotton They may run their
business as they please in this regard. But
OH for a Government courageous enough to
be mindful of the rights Of all lbs people in
stead Of pampering gang of industrial ring.

''Now, my son. said Mr.. Esmond, chow

Billy related as well as he could how the

talking and asking for his mamma Such g
meeting as there was! Not dry eye was in
the room, when they saw that poor little sick
woman kneel down to thank God for saving
her child.
Mr.. Esmond and his wife remained for
some time at the poor cottage and heard the
full account of the little boys bravery. AS
they left they requested Mrs. Hudson to send
Billy to their house as early in the morning
as he could come. But the old lady was not
forgotten either; for, as the man passed out,
he slipped bill into Mrs. Hudson's hand,
which proved to be $10O
"Now, BLY, said his Mother, "the honey
river is coming nearer, don't you think 500"
But Billy was too full for utterance. He
was at Mr. Esmond's early in the morning.
The man told him he wished to engage good
boy to take care Of his yard, cut the grass,
and attend to his son s pony

Billy thanked Mr.. Esmond heartily and went
off whistling; his heart as light as feather.
Mrs. Hudson was engaged to take charge
Of the Berlin Place home, in the absence of
the family and was given nice cottage in

COTTON.
On June 26, 1908, the Atlanta Constitution
published an article under the caption, "Will
Stop Work for Four Weeks" This is the
plan Of the Georgia Industrial Association to
depress the price Of cotton,
Listen at what they say:
Whereas, it is the sense Of this Association
representing 100000 spindles that it is i'm
possible to purchase cotton at prevailing pri-
ces and manufacture the same into any prod
uct which can be sold for price that will
not involve loss, and the information furnish
ed this meeting by its members from all parts
of Georgia and as to the cotton belt, satisfies
us that only providential interference can pre-
vent bumper crop
So they resolve to stop four weeks Of the
time between now and Sept. 1st., curtailing
the consumption Of cotton as much as pos
sible, thus depressing the price, and when
Sept. 1st., comes and the bumper crop begins
to roll in, not only the Georgia Industrial
Association but the entire cotton mill world
especially, and many other interests generally,
will do everything possible to force the price
of cotton to the very lowest notch
Is there any interest manifested on the part
of these people to see that the farmer gets
profit on his product cotton? Not the least,
and this is natural we only wish to show the
farmer what is in the road ahead Of him.
Suppose the farmers we're to meet and pass
resolutions like this:
Whereas, it is the sense Of this meeting
that to purchase supplies at prevailing prices
it is impossible to produce cotton and sell it
for less than the present price. 1t is there
fore resolved that all producers of cotton
curtail the average 33 per cent in order that
no bumper crop be made, to prevent injury
and disaster.
What would the Georgia Industrial Asso-
citation do then, provided the farmers were in
earnest? AS the Association s resolution is
supposed to be in earnest, they would say,
eco ahead, Mr.. Farmer, we won't grumble
about II cent cotton any more"
We don't expect for New England to say
it. We don't expect for old England nor
Europe to say it, but it is reasonable to
expect every man who breathes southern air
to say that the crop Of 1908 should bring,
every pound of it, II cents.
What do the mills expect to pay for it in
Guiding this Georgia Association in view Of
the bumper crop to say s cents would not
miss it far?
What will this difference mean to the state
of Georgia? Not less than $40,000,000.
What are the 100000 spindles worth?

BOO to $4,000 workmen lose their lives by

BASEBALL PROSPECTS.

There seems to be a fighting chance
for Salt Lake to get into a baseball
league once more. A dispatch from
Portland says that President Lucas of
the Northwest league has been asked
to start something in the baseball line
down this way, and that a project is
on foot to put teams in Salt Lake, Og-
den. Boise, Butte, Helena and either
Pocatello or Anaconda. 1t is too early
to hazard guess as to whether or not
the league will be formed, but the prof.
ect looks good at this distance
Salt Lake is unfortunate in being To-
Gated at so great distance from other
cities of her class. Like most other
American communities the town enjoys
a ball game. and If it We're possible
would put up fight for the pennant In
