value as proceeding from keen and we'll
trained newspaper man who looks below
the surface to ascertain the reasons for
things. Some current fallacies are ex.

and his surmlses of the causes that have
produced the conditions Of today in rural

Ia The FIRST place, we are only just dis
covering that New England has been a
much misrepresented country as to the
character of its soil 1t has been reputed
exceptionally unfruitful, and this repu-
tation has been accepted at home almost
unquestioningly. But Mr.. Bennett's OBJ
servations lead him to the conclusion that
the land which he has taken In hand
which is that Of the typical New England
abandoned FARMS naturally fertile, and
capsule of producing good crops under
proper cultivation. His farmer, who Ia
an Englishman, pronounces it equal to the
average OF agricultural land In England
Prof. Smaller recently stated, as the re-

soil Of New England Is really superior for

The Superiority of Women.


How long can it reasonably be expected
that the old custom will last In difference
to which wives are content to be known
by the surnames of their husbandss All
the recent tests tend to show the superior
ity OF the female mind to that of the male.
Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer in q recent
address supported the cause Of coeducation
with the argument that nothing in the
world will take the foolishness and ro-
mantle notions out of girl SO quick as to
work with young men and find out how
little they know" OF course marriage
has the same effect; but after a girl Is
married 1t is too late for her to save her
maiden name. III she arrives before mar
rage st the sophisticated stage that Mrs.
Palmer describes, she may very reasonably
demur 10 giving up name which she feels
competent to distinguish for one which
Will be handicapped by her husbands rela-
tive inferiority.
All along the line this summer women
have trinmphed In the recent assign
ment Of general fellowshps by the Chicago
university, young women got so dispro-
portionate share of the spoils as to
scandaize the authorities when the
London geographical society declined In
the spring to admit women to its member
ship, the society's action was received not
al all as evidence of the inferiortv Of
women, but purely a. new proof of the
/ limitations of men.
Ten women passed the Cambridge msth-
ematical tripos this year. aud two OF them
came ont wranglers. Three women took
honors ST Oxford, st which university also
honor examinations were this wear opened
10 women in three new courses. Al Lon

highest credit the examination for the de-
gree of doctor of science
At this rate, how long will women be

from grasping the shadow also? How long

\ new aud terrible fashion, which
may perhaps completely revolutionize
the style Of feminine dress has received
the stamp Of approval Of the American
girl. This gentle creature has resolved
TO decorate her skin with much the same
designs and figures that the materials OF
her dresses are often decorated with.
In other words, PLAIN white skins Will
soon be fashionable no longer. They vii,
be ornamented like brocaded silks or
printed calicoes. Tattooed arms and legs
are becoming the latest fad, and all sorts
Of curious figures and designs indelibly
printed in the soft flesh Of the trans

There could be no wiser, no more

lpending it in the making of good, per-

who would fail to be benefited by good,

old road system of Georgia is penurious,
slovenly, expensive and discreditable.

MIGHT BE MADE PROFITABLE.

The following are some of the act-

Work shops and factories could be
started that would pay those who
would make the investment.
A sash, door and blind factory is
needed. The local demand would paw,
Timber in abundanc
There Is any amount of gum timber
in this section. Why not turk this
timber in wooden plates and dishes?
There are also in abundance sak,

A cotton factorv is one Of our chief
needs. Edenten is accessible to about
15,o0e bales of cotton during season.
So why would it not pay to build
large cotton mill here? Labor is
cheap and in abundance
Canning factories could also be
made profitable.
We need Gil EilIs, and mills for the
manufacture of grain bags and sacks.
Grain mills established in Edsnton
would succeed, Furniture factories
would also pay.
