Gen. .Gordon was regarde?.- the
typical Georgia soldier, and there was
no man whom Georgians-, in fact ]
those of all the South, more delight- '
ed to honor. Then, after the war, in j
legislative halls, executive chair and i
upon the orator's platfonn he car- 1
ried the message of peace and fellow- ]
ship to every section of the country
becoming ,in fact, a national charac- j
ter admired and loved wherever he 1
was known. Indeed, not a few sub- !
scriptions to the fund with which the 1
monument was erected ? came .- from J
those who stood in opposiug ranks in :<
the sixties, and with each came a ')
message of admiration and esteem for ']
his nobility of character and gener- .
osity of heart. <
This monument was erected at an u
approximate'cost of $25,000,.of which \\
$10,000 was raised hy private sub- I
scription among comrades and friends j<
largely in Georgia, but also in other 1

In a competition entered hy half a
dozen well known artists, Sculptor S.
H. Borglum of Norwalk, Conn., wou
the award, his work being highly
commended by those who best knew
and were intimately associated with
Gert; Gordon; among them his wife
and daughters; The sculptor's task,
under the criticism of such judges,
was no easy one, and its completion
has been thc almost constant work of
a twelvemonth. The statue was cast !
in copper bronze in Brooklyn", :N. Y.,
and forwarded to Atlanta April 29,
arriving here May 9.
The statue represents Gordon as he
is*best remembered in the years short
ly before1 his death when, almost upon
the same spot where it will stand for
generations, he sat mounted and rfe
viewed yeal'' after year on Memorial
Day the ever thinning hosts of those
who followed him in battle. And
there it will stand for years to come
on the northwest corner of the State
capitol grounds, in reviewing attitude
while past it will march on 'each
Memorial Day to come . those who
join in tribute to the recollections of
the past.
Upon the front of the pedestal will
appear the one word, in bronze let
ters: "Gordon." On either side of
the pedestal will be set a bronze bas
relief, three hy five feet in dimension,
representative of the most conspicu
ous features in his career. The one
represents Gordon at Spottsylvania

thc intrepid Confederate leader's life,

in; Gordon's life, soldier, statesman
and patriot. Ile became governor of

MANY SECTIONS REPRESENTED
Chief Carson, of Burean of Manufac
turers Delivers Important Address
Before Inter-State Cotton Seed
Crushers' Association in Conven
tion at Norfolk.
Norfolk, Va., Special-The princi
pal feature of Thursday 's session of
the Inter-State Cotton Seed Crushers'
Association in eleventh annual con
vention at ?he Jamestown Exposition
was an address by John M. Carscm,
chief of the Bureau of Manufacturers
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor. His subject was "Foreign
Trade."
v "The cotton seed industry presents
greater attractions," said Major Car
son, "and offers greaLer possibilities
in the immediate future for enlarge
ment in foreign markets than mauy
others of our principal industries.
If it were more generally known in \
the United States tkat the best cotton
seed oil is equal in purity and health
fulness to olive oil, the demand for
cotton oil at home would expand to
a point that would seriously iutrefere i
with the profits of the manufactur
ers of olive oil in France, Italy and
Spain, who find cotton oil so profit
able in the conduct of their business.
Our manufacturers of cotton oil
might profitably direct their efforts
to bringing their product to the at
tention of the American people. 'If '
our own people were made'familia?]
with the real qualities of cotton sec]
oil, Very much of the olive oil now
imported would be permanently dis
placed, and very much _of the a'aimal
fats now so extensively used in the
preparation of food would be expell
ed from American kitchens. I suggest
that the producers of cotton seed pro
ducts, through the agency of the in
ter-State Cotton ri jed Crushers' As
sociation, perfect plans for exploiting
their manufactures not only in foi
eign, but in domestic markets, and
for maintaining their integrity and
pro tecting them against questionable
practices which, it is alleged, have
attended a few recent shipments tu
Europe." '
Major Carson's address was con
sidered by the Association to he vo
valuable that it was detrained by
resolution to have it printed for gen
eral circulation. ? .

1907 COTTON ACREAGE
Estimate Based On Replies From
All Parts of Cotton Section.
The following estimate of cotton
acreage for the current year as com
pared with the season of 1906, Li
furnished in a special bulletin issued
by Messrs. Latham, Alexander . &
Co., the well known cotton people of
New York:
With the view of obtaining the most
reliable information possible concern
ing the cotton acreage of the United
States for 1007, we addressed 6,000
letters to banks, bankers, cotton com
mission merchants and responsible
planters, embracing ever)' cotton
growing county in the South, asking
acreage estimates.
Up to this date ' we have secured
4,562 replies, of average date May
16, and the following tabulation is
the result. In our opinion it is as
approximately correct an estimate of
the cotton acreage as could be secured
by direct communication with parties
competent to judge, residing in the
Southern States.

The total estimated decrease of
cotton acreage in the United States
for 1907 au 3.52 per cent, of 1,011,
230 acres less than last year, and
the average planting of the crop id
two to four- weeks later than normal.
At the opening of the season the
conditions were very favorable for
the preparation of the land, and
much cotton was planted earlier than
usual, and the inclination was to
plant all the acreage possible.
Weather conditions during August
and the first half of May have been
abnormal over the entire cotton belt.
Temperature have been unseasonably
low, and rains have been constant'and
excessive. The unfavorable weather:
conditions have generally eliminated
the early start.
Farm work has been greatly inter
fered with and replanting has been
?renerally necessary. Much of [he con
templated acreage is yet to-be plant
ed.
Sunshine has been deficient and
there has been no growing weather,
and poor stands have been the rule..
Many of our correspondets com
plain of the scarcity and poor qual
ity of the seed.
