There ia no longer doubt -that aerious and irreparable damage has been done to cotton over at least the northern half of Georgia. The severe cold of a week ago Sunday was followed by a cold and nearly rainless week. Especially wem It cold at night. JSo far. therefore, from being revivified and strengthened by warmth and moisture, the damaged cot ton plants were further chilled by raw northwest winds, and the growth of root, as well, was checked by the dryness of the soil. As a result, cotton in northern' Georgia is iu an extremely critical stale. Duly EO tor a Superb X a so* A < Hamlin organ. Isets Heeds, i lu Htops, Htch Case; 15 cash i z^ind in moniuly.

We wIk) have lived much in the South, wluf have studied Its natural »d- vantnve* and resource* sml have travail eel In and compare! It with other sec tions of our country believe that we have the mo*t inviting field for good homes for the settler and profitable in- vewtment for money to be found any where from ocesn to ocean. Those who do not believe this ought not to parti •Tpsfe In this meeting because no man aught to try to deceive his fallow man The object of this meeting, ns t under s'and it. is to make these advantages and resources kterWn to those who are now Ignorant of them, and to deviae ways and means for their mdre apeely and certain development. As an hum b.e clttsen of this highly favored section 1 am here to contribute my mite to the success of this movement, and in doing this, I repeat. I^eha'.l be frank and can did In what J sayr" If, in thus speak |ng plainly, f sliall attract attention to any of the obstacles tb be removed or conditions to be performed, my coming will not have been in vain. Tbs flrat thing io which I wish to call - attention, and which should be kept prominent at all times is the ab- aolute necessity for good gilvernmeut. Money Is the most cowardly thing In the World. If hide# Itself away at the slightest approach of danger. Men may ^rlsk their lives and their liberties in i-omcnunities which are cumed with bad government, but they will not in vest their money there. It may te safely stated that where bad govern ment exists money will not go except in small quantities and at high rates of In terest. If, therefore, we wish to see « steady, healthy development of our re sources In the South, tt is absolutely neces»ary that we should procure good governments in our States, eihinties and towns. Without intending to censure any one. but * dely to lihudrate and emphasize this idien. I will refer to tlte bad government existing In the South ern Stale* for some years succeeding (he war. It Is well known that during thiwe trouble* fine days of bad government there war no development in the Southern States although we had the resources and tt was an era.of great abundance of money in the North. 1 cannot press this question too strongly upbt our people, and I trust that what ever may be our difference* and diver sions a* to certain national questions, we .will be united in our efforts to retain our State, county and town governments in the bands of honest and capable meu; so that onr people at home and capitalists and hnmigrant* abroad may have a posi tive assurance that life, lll>erty and prop erty will be absolutely secure in the Southern States. Unless we can furnish this aUbolute-assurance we need not ex pect capital to come in our midrt, or de sirable immigrant* to eettle among ua. I -fibtne, in the second place, to speak of a class of our fellow citisen* which has, ia the opinion of some, been, in a i.ieasrre, an obstacle hi the way of the introduction of Immigration into cer tain localities and to soipe ex tent the inveetment of money— I refer te the colored population. When tbi/ class of our fellow citisen* were slaves, we had in the South the some splendid climate and the sanuj great natu ral sources of wealth that we have to day, bat no one thought of any move ment toward the development of these resources. Our people as a rule looked to the negro to perform our labor, and to hia increase and the results of his labor as their general source of wealth. Sluce he became a freeman, we hare had many perplexing questions growing uit of his new relations to society, to the State, and to the white race, to solve. Without making any comments upon the ps»t—without accusing or exensing any one—because it is not my purpose today to stir up any bitter memories of that past—I desire to aay—and I wish to em phasise it—that in my opinion, the negro ia here wKh ua, and hety to atay. He is in no way to blame for his presence in the South. He cannot leave ns If he would, and I do not believe he shonld If he could. I regard all schemes for the removal of the colored people frem the Southern States—aH schemes for their ooiooiaatien or emigration, os wild and 1—ficHoable,. no matter whether there schemta originate with the colored peo- ’themselves, or with our own race. population of the Southern my opinion, is and will be part and parcel of oar so, itttbocomes oar la- try’s resource*, g'vec .employment U.- rtlx>r iiiui value til pr.'perty^, wni e ui>»- noin<* is a blight •upoii 'tiicin «i!r I I lien fore believe It 1* for the'tqier- (*"t of the Houthern Stales th >l we ,-n: Inive Ihe some free and uir lroitel cotn- age of s'lver that we do of gold, 1 tIso believe that the repeal of the 10 per c**nt. tux on State bank* wnn’it •tntiiiiulc greatly to the development of Ihe resources i'*f our eet’lhii).

In advocating ihe eolnave of elver and repeal iff the tax on S ate banks. I do not wish to be understood as fa voring a depreciated currency, or any wild scheme of banking I know I? is charged by the enemies of silver and State bank* that the 8<A|th Is p re par ing to wage a war upon a- stable n*- lUble curreruy. The so cliarges *.re not always made. In my opinion, in g*»o(l faith, and by meu who actually believe what they say. They come, ns a general rule, from that section of our country in which under existing tariff and financial legisiatlirn great wealth hn* been accumulated, and the princi- pnl part of our circulating medium has been concentrated. This false cry of ^ a depreciated currency and wild cal 'F° out and seek opportunities for In vest- banking has been raised by men utcr- .ested lu maintaining the present onbr of things to frighten people from their advocacy of any change In the system of legislation and’ finance under which’ that section has grown so jsAverful uv the- expense. of other section* of our country. Whethef 'hi* be true or not we know that we are interested 'o having good money as much a* th:?.i are. and that we have no- purpdke io advocate or countenance any, other klntl. If the 10 per cent, tax on S'ate banks hIih J -*be repealed so that we may es tablish bunks of Issue—we do uot ask to have our State money made a legal tender—We do not ask the capitalists of New England and New Ytfrk and other great tHixi wealthy States to -accept ihis money n payment of any debt that we may now owe them, or may hereafter contract. ■* They can demand of u* the same currency then as they do now, and we gre willing that our contra-U with them shall l*e solvable tn money sanctioned by wise National laws, but what we do a*k. and what I think we have a right Id demand^ is that thiw tux shall be repealed and that we shall b£ permitted to show to them by actual experience that we can establish banks and Issue bills which shaH be worth their face Iu gold and which shall .in swer all our purpose* in meeting our iHitracts with each o'her. and which shall contribute To (he development and growth ami prosperity .of <fur!_ oomunl lie:.

Christian, peace-loving, law-abiding peo- p!e. Then capttaHsts-wHl -not hesitate to invest their mqpg.v ip rpmmii|dlle^ where these people abound, and immgranls will not hesitate to settle among them. Another point I wish to emphasise and make- prominent is that both money and labor.are necessary to the develonment of the resources of any country. Without money, no matter what the resources of the country may be, there will he hut lit tle development, and without labor the resources will remain undeveloped and 'the money ojiiDvested, These Iwo 'things must go band in hand and keep peace with each other. Any war upon the one must lu* felt by the other, and be hurtful to both ’ 1 have already said that money i* the most cowardly thing in the world. The' scarcer it becomes, the more cowardly it In. When money is plentiful, it will take greater risks—when it ia abundant it will ^ —‘ and aeek opportunities for Invest ment. but when it is scarce it hides it self away, or seeks only gilt edge securi ties, and the first to hide ia thejtold. The more of value you concentrate in a-given quantity of anything called money, the more you increase the purchasing power to those who hare cast their fortunes among os, I am Bure I but speak the truth' when I say that a greater part of what has been done In the growth and development of our section is the result of the industry, energy and activity of onr own people. If w^ will but oe true to ourselves—to our people and to our section, retytuK to thP main upon- our own Intelligence, industry and activity, ever enacting and executing our laws in a spirit of Justice to all classes of persons and property, we will see our aecuon growing and proapeiiug until i,y and by our “descendants will have the proud satisfaction of knowing that fWi Soufh. in distributed wealth. In peace. In general prosperity.

I want to plead with them >*. rttlcaiiy examine the laws of their several States, and that if any one of thejm shad find anything in the law*- any S ate that places unnecessary burdens or restrirtioix upon labor, tint nn'li laws shall' he repealed; I know;, that in the past, smarting unidwH-thr threatened National leglsiatiofi or under the rendlection* of ’be war, or something growing out of V, it, of the days of re- ons ructio’u. there was great tempta ttoi) to pass, in some States, laws which under different condition* might never have found their way upon those stat ute books. Those days,-with their un fortunate occurrences, are happily be hind us—we are now lodklug to ’he hopeful future with Its Inviting pros pecU, and it ks the' part of wisdom as well as of ttuinllness, to see that our aws are equitable and just to alt. and that he who labors shall have their protection and their care equally with him who lives in luxury and wealth. The Southern States are so situated that the great body of onr people Is,, rod must be. dependent upon onr agri- oi.ltur&l interests. When agriculture prospers, ail. other interests must.par take of that proaperity. When farm life is neglected, and farming does not pay, cities and towns and every interest inci dent thereto must feel its effect. It is,t therefore, bad policy to concentrate *U our beet energies upon the development of cities and town*, and the enterprises therein located, to the neglect of our agri cultural interests and farming life. Tbs colored man ia by nature a farm er) although I believe they can be edn and you thereby increase its timidity. For instnngc, u man In possession of a idlver half dollar would not he so easily frightened at the approach of dang«r, or so anxious to hide it away aa the man would who had a $20 gold piece, which is about the same site, because the pur chasing power of the $2H gold piece ia about forty titnek as-great as the 80 <vnt piece, ao if we had diamonds ns the standard of our nnney instead of gold, the cowardice of our money would be infinitely multiplied. Take a* a further illustration a $1 bank not*'—That ia almut the i*nme slz** piece of paper as a $l<tO hank note—ret, we atla.-h great value to ihe piece of pa|K*r called one hundred dollars, and but little value compara tively to the piece called one dollar. This is because by a fiat of our Govern ment the orie has a purchasing power $100 times greater than the oilier. So, as you concentrate into any given staud Uni great purchasing power, and thou as you increase the purchasing power of that standard, yon make it all the mor precious in tlie sight of Its possessor, ami thereby make him all the more careful as to bow and where he invests it. or in other word*, as you make money more precious yon make it more cowardly. It, therefore, seems to me that iu striking down silver nud in erecting the single ' gold standard, a serious obstacle has been thrown in the way <Jf industrial progress in the South. The labor of the country. I repeat, t* the great element In (be development and growth of that country. No country na.» ever prospered—no country can ever pros per iu which the laborer feel* that he Is unjustly dealt with. Fortunately for us in the South we have been peculiarly exempt from the atrlfes, frictions snd tnrtnolT that have arisen In other sections between labor end capital. I am sure that I utter the sen. timent of every good man when i say that I pray that our beloved South may ever be exempt from strikee and from mi xinds of strife and-turnioP a thong out lib ire r*. If we would have ft so, we<niuar so make our laws and so execute them that those whose labor tw cresting and Increasing The wealth of communltlee and States shall feel that their labor and their obedience to law shall-have their Just reward. My fel low citizens let tt be truthfully said of u* that there Is one section of bur beloved country where strife end strikes are un known . - jHH'ted it! any conmderabic* volume, nu ll rated intf Thu* f*r It will be seen l have uot -ippkeu of our great natural .advantages and re sources. It wds not my purpose to do so. I know, and you know that. In climate and varied sources of wealth, we have a magni ficent country nneurpassed by any yet dis covered. Whatever la necessary for the ad vertisement of these resources that people living In other sections of our country may know of them, should be done by this con vention. Certainlv ail needful steps should he taken to call the attention of the people and capitalist* in other States to the great resources here in, onr midst which needs but the tough of akliled labor snd the use of capital to yield profit to both laborer and investor. For egea and ages, these na tural resources have been here just as they are'now; from one cause and another they <iave remained undeveloped and certainly wHl so remain until their eklatence la made known.
