Harvle Jordan’s Unworthy Criticism.
The editor of The Oeontlan return* to hla desk this
morning from the aeaeoaat of North Carolina to read the
article and tbe malevolent cartoon prepared and algned
•by Mr. Harvlo Jordan, of tho Southern Cotton
Association. We accept without hesitation the gauge ot
credit and of fact which Mr. Jordan fllnga down upon the
head of one of the beat friends tbst the Southern Cotton
Association has over known, and we promise to render
this episode one of tho most Interesting that Mr. Harvle
Jordan has ever experienced In his politic and ambitious
career.
It may be well to say In the beginning that which we
have said before, that The Georgian bae not been the
advocate and the champion of tbe exchanges, and that
WE HAVE BEEN AND ARE NOW THE UNHESITAT
ING 0PP0NENT8 OF THE BUCKET 8H0P8.
We bare grown up by environment and by general In
vestigation under the Impreeslon that there waeavastand
vital difference between the legitimate exchanges and the
buckot shops doing business In the country. We have
been confirmed and strengthened In this Impression by
tho frequent public and apeolflo advocacy of many of the
first business men of Atlanta. And under these circum
stances, when this great question came up as a fresh
nnd vital Issue bofore the Georgia legislature, we did not
hesitate as a prudent and conservative organ of public
opinion to present to that body our own vlow ot the dif
ference betwoen tho legitimate exchange and the bucket
shop, and to urge upon tho mombers of the legislature
a very fair and free consideration of these distinctions
before entering upon any radical action that might af
fect the serious public Interests of the city and of tbe
state. Beyond this we did not go and shall not go.
Our slnglo Idea was to Invoko for this question the
clear and full understanding and the unbiased decision
of tho law-making bodies In order that justice might be
done and conservative action might be reached. We
bavp never for c.no moment put ourselves beyond tho
piano of conviction or beyond the right to alter our opin
ion upon this question. We havo vast respec't for the
opinion and for tbe Judgment of the Credit Men’s As
sociation, and wo do not hesitate to say that the Credit
Association has made a full statement of Its views and
that these views have Impressed themselves upon our
own. We aro absolutely free In this matter, absolutely
without obstinacy, and we aro not built of the stuff that
would make us adhere to a mere private opinion simply
becauso It bad once been expressed.
But we cannot fall to express our surprise that the
Hon. Harvle Jordan, who represents himself, The Cot
ton Journal and tho Southern Cotton Association In that
splendid organization, formed to advance the Interests
of the cotton planter, should go far out ot his way to
father and to frame an attack upon so good and so loyal
a friend to the cotton planter and grower as we have
been. v
Within the past year, the editor ot this paper, with
out money and without price, at his own expense and In
his own time, has, at the'request of various county as
sociations ot the cotton growers, gone to them to speak
In earnest and ardent advocacy ot the aims, Interests
nnd plans ot tbe association. We have given freely of
whatever brains and Information we have had to the In
terests and advancement of thle couee. We have receiv
ed the thanks ot some twenty or thirty cotton growers'
associations assembled In Georgia for the purpose of
hearing these speeches made In their behalf, and we
havo received more than once and In most emphatic
fashion, the hearty commendation and expressed grab
itode of Mr. Jordan himself for tbe nature and effective
ness of these speeches made In behalf of this association.
It may be said here tbst In not one of these speeches
have we ever remotely or directly referred in any de
gree. to any private Interest or any public candidacy
which the editor ot this paper may have had at any time
toward any office In tbe state or in the United States.
It may be Imagined then how great was the surprise with
which we have received the ungenerous and unworthy
stab which this man Harvle Jordan has dealt to a friend
and a co-operator whose service he has so frequently and
gratefully approved.
Now, supposing for tbe sake ot argument, that the
editor ot this paper was mistaken In hts analysis ot the
difference between tbe bucket shops and the legitimate
exchanges? We submit tbe question that If this be true,
no man In Georgia should hare been more charitable and
more considerate toward any possible mistake In Judg
ment than this complacent politician who has been
chosen as the head of the Southern Cotton Association.
Why, the echoes have scarcely died as yet upon the
shibboleth ot "Harvle Jordan and 15c cotton!" Into that
splendid promise hts strong cocksure assertions led us
all. We followed fast In the wake of hts superior wis
dom, his professional Information aqd his "duty-to-know.”
At Atlanta, at Asheville and at New Orleans, tbe South
ern fanners either fell or were whipped Into line be
hind Harvle Jordan’s war cry until finally over tbe pro
test and judgment of many thoughtful men, It bqcame,
almost positive treason to differ with the Boss on this
question. But, alas for Jordan, alas for his cocksuro
view, and alas tor the cotton planters! There are hun
dreds of thousands of dollars tbst might be In the pock
ets of the Southern farmers now If Harvle Jordan had
not made that foolish mistake Into which we so blindly
fell and of which through reliance upon bit superior op
portunities Tor Information, we became earnest advo
cates. There am tev who have openly rebuked or criti
cised Harris Jordan for his egregious error In this matter.
They have covered his folly with charity.
And yet this same fallible Harris Jordan, staggering
under a weight of foolish judgment that cost hundreds
ol thousands ot dollars to the Southern farmers, Is the
first to rise In criticism against the motives ol a faithful
friend who baa fought the farmers' battles with pen and
tongue without money and without price, and has had
vie Jordan’s own official “well done" stamped upon | Shop and In close association with Us former manager
Mr. Hotze.
Mr. Love, the present manager of the Piedmont Buck
et Shop In his conversation with our reporter practically
states that about tbe same time that be bought the stock
ot Or. Crawford la that enterprise he also bought the
stock of Mr. Fairchild. And Mr. Fairchild Is an employee
of the Southern Cotton Association, and Is written In the
directory as manager of the bureau of publicity and pro
motion. This la claimed as startling testimony.
From statements that have been put Into our pos
session It looks very likely that Mr. Anderson will bo
likely In his testimony to present strong evidence that Mr.
Hichard Cheatham, secretary, has speculated In cotton
margins frequently In a local brokerage company.
It Is stated by another legal witness, and this one,
one of tho most prominent citizens of Atlanta, who frank
ly and straightforwardly confesses himself a stockholder
In tbe Piedmont Brokerage Co. that during his connection
with It It was always his Impression that Mr. Cheatham
was also a stockholder and Influential factor la the Pied
mont bucket shop, and that ho has frequently discussed
transactions of that enterprise with him upon the basis of
co-membership and co-dlrectlon and hag not had any de
nial or protest from Mr. Cheatham of the assumption Im
plied by the nature of those conversations. It Is also
stated by this reputable citizen, who Is no less than
Dr. J. M. Crawford, tho famous specialist of the Pruden
tial building, that several conversations have occurred
between officers of tho Piedmont bucket shpp which.
If ho Is requested to do so, he will cheerfully testify
to In public, which leaves upon his mind the definite Im
pression that Richard Clleatham, through his agent and
employee, Mr. Fairchilds, was an owner and a controller
of tho Piedmont Buckot Shop. It was also stated by Dr.
Crawford that a circumstantial ovldenco which confirms
him In this Impression of Richard Cheatham’s co-oper
ating with him la this bucket Bhop, was tho fact that a
check for ah additional assessment made by Mr. Cheat
ham's employee, as we remember, Mr. Fairchilds, was
held over under circumstances which would lndlcato that
It was necessary f&r Mr. Cheatham to pass upon It
These with a number of other Incidents and circum
stances, seem to make up the bulk of the evidence which
will bo submitted whenever it may be demanded, to Jus-
tlfy tho Implication which Representative Anderson, of
Chatham, boldly stated upon the floor of tho bouse.
Wo submit to tho people of Georgia that the Cotton
Association cannot afford to carry for a day longer than
may bo necessary tho burden of this alleged connection
of Its high official life with the business of speculation,
nnd of bucket shop gambling which It Is now so vigorous
ly denounclog through tho columns ot tho dally press
and The Cotton Journal. •
We have no deslro to say, and wo do not say that
these charges aro true. Investigation may prove them to
be true or Investigation may prove that they aro entirely
false. Mr. Jordan nnd Mr. Cheatham botfi deny them
personally.
For ourselves, there remains no other duty than to
urgo that this Investigation Into these matters shall bo
begun at onco beforo the state loglslaturo adjourns And
that It shall be absolutely freo and fair nnd absolutely
without fear—that there shall be no white-washing done
by any partial friend of any party concerned, that tjie
Investigation should bo public by a full representation ot
tho membership In this and other states—that tho farmers
of Georgia aro entitled to know and to understand tho
truth fully and perfectly and Just what connection, if any,
their high officials may have had In privato with this
lDlquIty which they are so loudly condemning In public.
Mr. Cheatham Is secretary of tho Southern Cotton
Association. More than this he iB’the Intimate and per
sonal friend of Jordan, the president. There are
those who know them both who say that of tho two men
Mr. Cheatham Is tho shrewder and more capable and that
ho exercises a very large influence upon the mind of his
friend and superior officer. ThlB wo do not know. But
wo do know that tho public will find It hard to understand
how between two frlonds so close and so intimate and so
constantly In conference upon the possibilities of the
prices of cotton, Mr. Cheatham could have been engaged
In these transactions In such a way as to conceal It from
tbe knowledge of hla friend and follow officer.
There Is enough In tho nlr of doubt and of apprehen-
the unselfish work. .
There are thousand* upon thousands of Southern
j farmers who will recall In this connection, that a man
whose Judgment Is as hasty or ** bad as Harvle Jor-
dan’s, ought not to be the first to throw a atone at the
friends of the cotton planter under any circumstance*.
Whatever may have been bis motive, whether loyal or
disloyal, whether good or bad, Jordan has undoubtedly
led the Southern farmers Into the mire. He has kept
thousands of dollars out of the pockets of the peopl
and he ought to be modest and kindly In bis estimate
of the Judgment of other men.
There Is a mean and little etlng left In the combina
tion of cartoon and controversy Into which Harris Jor
dan has projected himself. Some small and unworthy
soul, either his own or another's, has been moved to sug
gest that the editor of The Georgian was Influenced In
his earlier comment by the fact that a family connection
was an employee In a brokerage office. Tbat was low and
utterly unworthy. It stamps Jordan as malicious and
ungrateful. We have no need to answer so small and
unworthy a measure of speech as that If there 1* any
body In Georgia who would believe that Infamous reflec
tion, we do not know him. If there Is anything In tbe
record of The Georgian or Its editor to justify such an
Ill-bred assertion we must confess that we have lived In
vain.
Tho opinions that we have entertalnsd and expressed
upon this question have been thqae held for many years.
As we have said before, we are not obstinate In their
possession end not committed to their advocacy. All
that we want In this or any other matter la to^eee the
right and the Just thing for Georgia and for her people,
and we may be trusted when we see It to do the right
thing over our pre-formed opinions end over our financial
Interests. This we have already made manifest in two
conspicuous instances to which the public has been the
witness.
So much for this phase of the controversy.
Are the Cotton Officials Speculating ?
The remarks made upon the floor of the house of
representatives by Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, on Tues
day clearly develop a serious crisis In the affairs of the
Bouthern Cotton Association.
Mr. Anderson Is a gentleman of the highest standing,
both In politics and In business. He I* a descendant of
Thomas Jefferson nnd Is a representative of tho second
olty and county of the state. Hla’romarks wore definite,
clear and startling In their auggesUons, and they must be
definitely and fearlessly probed for the honor and for
the safety of this great body of cotton growers who havo
organised for their mutual profit and advancement
The Georgian Is far above making tbls Incident tho
occasion of any reprisal for an unworthy attack mado by
an officer ot tbat association upon this paper. There is
not In our records a line In which we hare ever re
venged any private wrong In our public comments or car
ried the remembrance ot a personal controversy in a con
sideration ot the affairs of state.
And we come to this question now clearly, resolute
ly end absolutely without prejudice In the slnglo Interest
ol the Southern Cotton AssoctaUon to whom wo havo dem
onstrated our loyalty In no uncertain way. The whole
force of editorial advocacy and ot nows exploitation has
been freely given through The Georgian to overy Interest
of this splendid body of our Industrial llfo. Tho editor
of this paper has at hie own expense, of time and labor,
made from fifteen to thirty speeches tor as many county
associations ot the state cotton growers’ association, and
has received from those associations, and from the presl
dent of the state association, and from Mr. Harvle Jordan
himself, various cordial expressions of appreciation for
services which they wore pleased to deem "most valua
ble and effective.” There li no onb thing In Georgia to
which The Georgian la more pledged by past loyalty of
service and by future Intention ot cooperation, than
to the farmers and the corton growers end to every other
organization that Is honorably conducted to their profit
We are so vitally near to these men and realize so
clearly their vital moaning to the prosperity and welfare
ot the state, tbat we should be false to them and recreant
to our duty if we did not UTge that the present Bhadow
now resting upon the Bouthern Cotton Association shall be
analysed and sifted to the complete satisfaction of the
entire body and of the state.
In brief, then, the reflections made by Representative
Anderson, of Chatham, leave upon the public mind tbe
Implication of serious official misconduct, which, In be
half of the farmers ot Georgia, we insist must be Inves
tigated to the last limit of truth and justice.
First, there Is a general Implication that somebody
high In station In the Southern Cotton Association has
been not only using hla private Inside Information ac
quired through the Bouthert Cotton Association, to spec
ulate In cotton to his own profit 'through the local ex
changes, but that thl* same someone has also gone to the
extent of taking atock In a recently organized backet
shop known as the Piedmont Brokerage Company, ntad of
engineering personal dealings through that agency, act
ing In another name than his own.
This Is a serious Implication end If It can be demon
strated will be damaging beyond measure to tbe further
usefulness of the present official life of the association.
Individuals have a right If they choose to deal In cot
ton on margins so long as It may be legal to do so, and to
speculate In future* to the extent which the lew permits.
Whatever we may think of such transactions, there are
a few who criticise to any severe extent tbe privets indi
vidual who takes part In auCh transactions. But, It It
should be true that a great end beneficent organisation
formed and supposedly administered for the exclusive
purpose ot advancing the price ot cotton for the growers
ot the stato and ot the South, had In Its high official life
a man using Its private Information and possibly Indulg
ing himself In privets and dealing under a fictitious
name to gamble and speculate In cotton and In
futures, then the confidence ot the eotton growers In their
organisation le likely to be destroyed, and the men who
indulge In such practices are not worthy ot the confidence
of their conatitnente or of a future official life In tbe
organization. This proposition no man can deny.
Tbe circumstance* surrounding th(s charge of Mr.
Anderson with certain specific statement* made by repu
table men and worthy and prominent citizens, have
seemed to fasten suspicion in thl* matter upon Mr.
Richard Cheatham, secretary, and the Intimate personal
friend of Mr. Harvle Jordan, president of the Southern
Cotton Growers’ Association. These statements of the
dally witnesses are at follows:
First comes B. C. Cothran, himself the man
ager . of e local brokerage office, who testifies
freely over hie own signature tbat.be was approached
by those who ere organising the Piedmont Backet Shop,
with e request that he take stock In that enterprise, end
tbat upon hts refusal to do to It was further argued to
him by the promoter that Mr. Richard Cheatham, secre
tary of the Southern Cotton Association, was an eighth
owner In the Piedmont Brokerage Company, and that It he
with his environment, could take atock in the enterprise,
there was no reason why Cothran should not. Mr. Coth
ran also further testifies that he himself has frequently
seen Mr. Cheatham In the office of the Piedmont Bucket
Sion and ot suspicion to Justify us in saying that until
these charges are thoroughly and bravely Rifted, and the
atmosphere completely and finally cleared, the present
usefulness and effectiveness of the officers of this associa
tion are seriously endangered, and that these Interests
which should be always subordinated to the vastly greater
Interests of the Southern cotton growers, will themselves
demand the fullest and promptest and most public action
to find the truth and to tell It.

Republicans Passing the Plate.
The Republican party Is passing the plate.
Gentlemen who have affiliated with tbat party In
times past, down In this section of the political vineyard,
havo been receiving touching little communications ask
ing that they contribute the sum of one modest dollar to
defray the expenses of the G. O. P. In the congressional
campaign which la gathering strength for the fall elec
tions.
Some of them havo responded, but some of them
have not. ,
The party of loaves and fishes Is no more prodigal of
contributions Just at present than the occasion demands,
and Chairman Sherman Is reported to be in a state of
mind.
This effort to make the campaign contrlbnUons popu
lar In their character looks very well, from a superficial
point of view, bnt the people would be much more will
ing to take It seriously If the present congress, at Its
late session, had passed the law prohibiting corporations
from making contrlbnUons to campaign funds.
It was rumored at one time tbat the express compa
nies were to be exempt from the operation ot the rate
bill, -but the pressure was too strong and they had to
be Included. The program was, so the story goes, that In
consideration of their exemption tho express companies
were to foot the bills for the congressional campaign,
but now they very naturally decline to come across.
The congressional committee bad to look elsewhere
for campaign funds.
Perhaps It was only a .coincidence that the bill
prohibiting corporations from contrlbuUng to the yellow
dog budget was not passed. Hence those tears—and the
passing of the plate.
The Republican party on the whcjle seems to have
made a moss of It from a strategical point ot view.
They have offended the reform element of the country by
refusing to pasB the law preventing these contributions
from corporations, and at the same time they have offend
ed the corporaUons by the provisions of the rate bill.
They are now making a heroic effort to pitch the
fight on a policy of "Roosevelt and stand pat,” but there
aro growing evidences that the country will inject a re
duction of the tariff In the discussion, and the latter prop-
oalUon Is meeUng with a groat deal of favor. The pro
tected Infanta have not only grown so large, but have
become so wayward, that the sentiment of the country
is slowly but surely becoming aroused, and It seems clear
that tariff reform will have a place very near the center
ot the stage, not only In tho congressional but In tbe pret-
ldenUal election. •
Tho whole community has become thoroughly aroused
on the subject of Imperfect meat Inspection and the de

‘‘I rejoice In the present scarcity of
labor and the high prices which all
classes of laborers are now securing,”
said one of the foremost manufacturers
of the 8outb, a man of broad business
life who has been Intimately Identified
With the-best development ot thle sec
tion. And he was correct. There was a
time when many people In the South
boasted of cheap labor, but that did not
mean prosperity nor general advance
ment. Cheap labor Is not generally
low-coet labor. It Is true that In the
changing conditions which are tak
ing place In the South higher wages
are for the time being producing very
unaatlsfactory results. Negroes, and
to some extent whites. In the South,
as well as elsewhere, content, aa they
have been, to live on a low plan* ot
creature comforts, find that by work
ing two or three dags a week they
can make as much os they formerly
made working five or six days, and
therefore they loef half their time.
To theae people higher wage* has not,
on this account, for the present made
much Improvement In their financial
condition. It has. however, retarded
the operation of manufacturing en
terprises, and to seme extent has been
an Injury to the peopl# themselves by
making them more elothfal than In
times when stress of circumstances
forced a dally routine of work In or
der to secure the necessities of life. But
looking at the question from the broad
standpoint of the whole South# beat
interests, this Is a temporary condi
tion, and the disadvantages are tem
porary.
So long as labor ot all kinds receiv
ed low wage* In the South thl* sec
tion could never bop* to be an active
competitor with the Weat and the
North for the better etna* of Immi
gration, but with advancing wages it
will be possible to turn southward a
class of population which we never
could have secured under lower wages.
This In Itself la a very great advan
tage to this section and will counter
balance the disadvantages under which
farmers and manufacturers alike are
now working. But more than that.
It la possible that sooner or later high
er wages will stimulate the negroes
to better methods of living, to more
systematic work and to an apprecia
tion of what can be accomplished by
faithful, honest labor, with the result
that nut ot the present conditions of
unrest-sad thriftless ness and laziness
will come Improvement. And out of
these disadvantages which have been
produced by the higher wagea which
Southern Labor and Its Price
are being paid‘there will come con-
and we believe conditions which ....
eventually result In making more em
clent the negro labor of the South. It
le difficult to see any sign of the 1st'
l« r at present Rather we now see at
moet chaotic conditions among a large
port of the negro population of the
South, but we believe that the Incom
ing Immigration made possible by
higher wages will make the South lose
dependent on negro labor, and, there
fore, prove io the negro's advantage.
Bo long the negro feel* that the
South lo of necessity dependent upon
hit labor, *o long will he be Indiffer
ent, shiftless, drifting from place to
place, without steadiness of purpose
and without the development of the
qualities which are essential tor bis
advancement.
Under the old conditions ot tow
wages any great broad advancement of
the South was not possible. IV*
could, It Is true, have attained to the
present stage of develbpment, but thtr
is only the very beginning, the thresh'
old of the great work of Southern
upbuilding. What we are now doing
Is ao small as compared with what the
South must and will do within the
next 10 or it years as to teem but
child’s play compared with th* limit
less possibilities of th* future. With
an area and with resource* capable.
If no more thickly settled than Mas
sachusetts, of supporting 250,000,000
people, it I* not conceivable tbat this
section should not continue In Its ad
vance without any material halting un
til In population It rivals. In propor
tion to area, tb* density of th# New
England State* and In wealth exceeds.
New England In proportion as its pop
ulation and It* natural resources ex
ceed those of the latter section.
The trials and troubles of th* South
ern manufacturer and the Southern
fanner due to scarcity ot labor are for
the time being very perplexing, but
out of evil good will come, and th*
South may well afford to reiotc* that
Increasing employment and Increasing
prosperity are bringing about a rate
of wages which will make this section
a tempting field for the activities of
the laboring element ot th* world.
