I Atlanta Journal, May I 1.1 A convention of six hundred repre sentative fanners and business men mid in Macon .Saturday, and spent Ibo day in devising plans for marketing Ibo cot ton crop to belter advantage, lt was one of the strongest bodies ever assem bled in (ieorgia, and its discussion of thc problem included suggestions from tho view-points of thc planter, ibo gin nor, the warehouseman, the banker, Ibo buyer ami tho manufacturer. Much light was thrown on tho subject, and good progress was. made toward 'sub stantial reforms, which will result in better returns to the producers of cot ton. The mooting ?d' tho farmers and busi ness mon in joint, session, earnestly co operating for the common good, was progress in itself. Time was in recent years when sucl i meeting would have boen Impossible. An era of good fool ing bas come, and progress is tho natu ral result. lt developed in the discussion thal dining the two mouths between October 1st and December uh, claims against the farmer amounting to s.|Sii,nuii,ooo un pressed for collection, and dining this period there is forced liquidation enough to cause a panie in almost any stock market. This happens every year, and it is not surprising that prices are usu ally at a low lovel during these two mouths. This condition is avoided hy Ibo Wes tern farmers in marketing their wheal. Hy judicious use of Ibo elevators, tho salo of the crop is extended through len mont hs, ami the prodie or has abettor ohnuco to realize Ibo value of his grain. The idea of tho cotton growers is lo apply tho same remedy in I heir own case. This, of course, will require tho help of banks and warehouses. This suggestion was ll rsl made by Major J, I". Hanson, wdio is both a cotton planter ami a cotton manufacturer, and incidentally, a ware house owner. This plan has ottotl been explained, lu brief it is to carry thc coll?n in warehouses through the period ?d' forced liquidation, lt was shown Hull with properly constructed warehouses, cost ing $ 1,500 for a capacity of .".on bales, tho cotton can be insured tor a quarter of one por cent and curried with inlet esl at li ve or six per cont. il thc .valehouse certilieates are underwritten hy a surely Company. lt was also shown thal in such warehouses on Ibo cheap ground of the smaller Southern towns, the world's reserve supply of cotton eau he earned moro economically than in Ibo expensive warehouses of the great ports here or a.broad. The Colton plant?is' Association of Goorgia, ami similar organizations in other Cotton stales aie to bring about a general use of such a system, perfecting it ns experience points the way. Then' is no purpose io create a era/i' for bor rowing money, but there is a desire lo make intelligent uso ol' the facilities which are freely offered lo the farmer hy the bankets of the South, in tho same way thal Western farmers use similar opportunities. Tho convention developed tho impor tan! suggestion that an organization of ginuors for the purpose of reporting tho appearance of cotton as it is baled, could furnish earlier and more accurate sta t ist ii s of tho crop than any ol her tlgeiicy, and tho co-operation of gi nu ors was asked. Something was said incidentally lo the elici t that much money could ho save.I to the farmer by paying more attention to tho methods of picking, ginning, etc., and com pc tent ex pei I - est i mate I his pos Bible economy nt a dollar II bale. There is no doubt thal i uch g.-od will result from this convention. lt is expected that similar conventions will bo held in other Cotton ?States and that through tho co operation of result ing organizations, the planters of the South will bc induced and enabled io market their oops to I. tier advantage, Cotton Mills in the South. Tho Convention of Southern Cotton Spinners nt Charlotte las' week brough! out some interesting and signilicnnl state ments. Tho eon ve nt ion was at tended by a nu ta bor of cotton manufacturers from Now Kuglnnd, as well ns many from every part of tho South.

"This remarkable rosall is a splendid tribute lo the enemy alni enterprise ol tho Southern people, nm) challenges the admiration ol tho business world." Mr. Leonard li. Paulson, a leading Now Vork cotton manufacturer, said: "As to Ibo juice of cot ton yarns, I on not prepared t.. say whal Hie futuro will he, but I can tell you this neatly all Hie spinners of tho South, as well ?is Hmso ol tho Ka s I, have I heir pi od nets sold se ve ral months ahead, some hoing sold until September.

Hell. Tho Logacy Tax Valid. Dio most Important decision of thu Supremo Court of tho United Slates has rendered since it decided that the income tax was unconstilu tiona) and a few weckt? afterward startled the country by reversing its own declaration, is tho decision handed down hist Monday in the case brought to test tho validity of tho Federal legacy tax law, passed in 180S. This case was brought by thc heirs of tho lato Cyrus McCormick and several other millionaires who have died since the passage of thc act referred to. The Supreme Court sustains thc tax on inheritances and gives very strong reasons for doing so. Thc itrst and most important point established by tho decision is its vindication of the progressive or cumulative principle in taxation. Thc second is thc renewed assertion of tho right of thc Federal Govern ment to tax successions in spite of tho ftict that the transmission of property by death is exclusively a subject of State jurisdiction. Third, the Court Poids that a legacy tax is not a "direct tax" and there fore is not required by the constitu tion to bo apportioned among thc States according to population. The Federal legacy tax applies only to personal property ; the Su preme Court's decision has no bear ing on the transmission of realty. The decision does, however, estab lish tho general principie that thc rate ol' taxation may justly vary with the amount of property, so far as personalty is concerned. In the decision which was a prophecy ol' tito more general one delivered last Monday, namely, that in the case ot' thc Illinois inheritance tax, Mr. Justice McKonnn held that the Illinois law did not deny tho equal rights guaranteed by thc four teenth amendment, though the ex emption clause was ?500 for distant kin and $'20,000 or near, ami the tax rose for the former, with thc si/.e nf the estate from ?3 to (5 per cent. The legacy tax decision will cause rpi ?lc a commotion among heirs to largo estates bequeathed since the enactment ol" the law of IS'.'S, and will cause thc contribution of several million dollars lo thc Federal treasury.-Atlanta .lon rn al.

Hy way of answering all carping criticism the Southern Hallway Company declares its position re lative to the treatment, and payment of the employees of that system. In these days of greed and gain, it is refreshing to read such declarations. Lot no one say hereafter that all corporations are soulless. The Southern in the person of one of its chief ollieials says : II* we have a man on the road any where who is not properly paid for what he is doing, as oninpared with the general run of men, or il* we have men overworked or badly treated, we want to know it. We attach greater importance to the loyalty ol' our men than we eau ex press in a mom y value. We want I the men lo he satisfied with us as much as we want to he satislied with them. We attach a large value lo tho loyalty and contentment of our men. There may he places here and there that will take us a long tilin to lind where some fellow is under paid or overpaid, or where some good, worthy fellow is being kept un der a cloud. We do not want aman is in a small place to be under the power of any one but his proper au thority, and then only while he is properly treated by those proper au thorities. We will espouse the cause nf any mau, from water boy or en gine wiper up, when he establishes a case of ill treatment. It is no satis faction to us lo grind anybody ; il is no satisfaction at all to overwork anybody. Tho Company is disposed lo treat ils men fairly, and will treat them justly.

They need it from the very moment they arc pul out ol doors with tho mother hen. It if tho common practice then to stuff them willi dough mixtures exclu sively, and great armies of them are slain every year by this method of feeding. Comparatively few people, know that the addition of some gritty material al this tillie would to a great extent stop this slaughter. The poultry supply houses have for side chick grit, and it is an ex cellent article to keep on hand ; but ogg shells make a pretty fair substi tute for it.
