Best for Farmers and Manufacturers.
Compared with other geographical d.
visions, the south shows up better than
any other section Of the country. In the
northwest, for the third year in success
sion, there has been a failure Of crops. In
some localities the failure is only partial,
but in others it is complete. The effect
in at least ore state is made evident in an
official manner. The tax assessors of
Kansas report that in thirty-two counties
there has in twelve months been a gain Of
10, 7S7, in population, while in seventy
two counties there has been a loss Of IS
O69, making a net loss in the population
Of the state Of Is, 262 in one year. The con-
ditions that exist in Kansas exist also in
Nebraska, the Dakotas, Wyoming and
Oklahoma. Agriculture, in the absence
of artificial irrigation, has proved TOO
tickle to be depended upon, and the far
mers are moving out.
In the south the harvest of this year
win be bountiful, as were those of last
year and the year before. It is the rule
TO make good crops in the south. and the
exception to make them in the northwest.
That thousands Of those who are leaving
Kansas and Oklahoma are headed for
Dixie is proof that the agricultural ad-
vantages of the south are coming to be
understood. So much for a comparison
of conditions in the south and in the
northwest. without mentioning the recent
great strikes. The inevitable conclusion
is that the south is the best place for far
mers.
In the northeast-that is, in New Eng
land-there is at present d great labor
war in the textile manufacturing indus
try A large number of the mills are
closed. Manufacturers claim that they
must reduce wages, and operatives claim
that they cannot live at a reduction. The
mills are long way from the cotton and
long way from the markets, and their
products must come into competition with
other mills more favorably circumstanced
Meantime cotton manufacturing goes
smoothly on at the south, as it did through
the panic of last year. The operatives
are apparently contented, and the own
ers are booking orders. New mills aggre-
eating 100000 spindles are already pro-
jected to be built in the south this year,
and great manufacturing concern in
Massachusetts, will move its mill for
coarse cloth to the south in time for th e
next crop. e..
The south, according to these facts, is
the best place for manufacturers as well
as for farmers.

A Prince Mending His own Suit.

The statement that the German empress is
in the habit of mending her consorts linen
and daTning his stockings is in parallel to a
story told of Prince Henry, the kaisers
brother and admiral Of the imperial navy, in
the Utrechtsche Courant, Dutch paper,
which reports that at an inspection of the
naval division under his command the prince
noticed that the men possessed Of private
means exhibited only new clothes, or such as
had cen very little worn. Upon inquiry he
heard that these men bought new clothes
rather than to patch their old ones His
royal highness dispatched a messenger to
the castle, who soon after returned with a
suit of white duck, which Prince Henry IN
folded before the neutrality-suspicious.
volunteers. The clothes were well worn and
neatly patched, and the prince addressed his
hearers as follows: My superior officers
compelled me to repair my working suit when
| served my first term aboard as mildly
| do not doubt that you have the means to
purchase duck suit. and so has. in fact any
sailor But, gentlemen. some of YOU expect
by ar by TO become officers. How can YOU
expect to be entrusted with the property of
the country if you are not more careful of
your own" In this way Prince Henry assists
his brother the kaiser, in his crusade against
extravaganza in army and navy, which
has met with very encouraging results
and has not been without influence on ma
tlOnal morals.

No "Giants,, in These DAVIS.

Is the genius of humbug in its deca-
denee2
Some years ago, as older readers will
remember, the 'petrified body of won
derful giant was found at Cardiff The
remains were examined by scientific ex-
perts, who wrote long and erudite papers
on the subject, and the matter of the gi-
ants origin, age, etc, became almost ques-
tions of the day. The body was ''ac-
quired' by famous Snowman, lately de-
ceased, who made the notoriety of the
Cardiff giant" world wide. II developed
after awhile that the giant" was sec
ond-rate fraud, that the alleged petri-
fed specimen had been manufactured.
buried and discovered" according to
well-made plans for exciting public Gu
riosity and making money.
On the 18th of the present month dis
patch sent out from Memphis, Tenn,
told of the discovery at jackson Mound
Park, Tenn, of as good a .'petriieJ
giant" as ever the Cardiff giant" dared
to be. Two men carried big and heavy
box to the park, and borrowed some money
from native on the strength of a story
to the effect that the box contained a
wonderful Thing they had discovered in
mine in Norway, and which they meant
to exhibit. The big box was left as Sc
curity for the loan. The strangers dis
appeared. After waiting two weeks for
them to return the creditor opened the
box. In it he found the ''petrified, or
mummified body of a giant" To
quote the dispatch: ''Dr H. L. MILFORD
formly president of the Shelby coun ty
board of health; B. F. Turner professor
in the Memphis Medical College and an
ethnologist of some note, and DR.. Pate
examined the mummy. They found the
body to weigh about four hundred pounds
and to be 8 feet II inches long. The
body was in splendid state of preserva-
ton. The teeth were intact, and the out
lines of the face were perfect. The hair
was still on the head, long, stiff and black.
The physicians saw signs of either
| petrlticatlon or ossification. They
thought that it might be the body of a
North American Indian, though such re-
mains are occasionally found in Finland
and Patagonia"
That was dandy "send off, for the
giant 1t was published all over the
country. Barnum's freak never received
better notice. Business with the
''gianC" should have doomed right along.
from the outset. But it didn't. And
now, after only barely half a month of
publicity, the giant" is pronounced a
fraud
Truly these are matter-of-fact times
Imagination, poesy, romance and "petri-
fed giants" must give way TO stubborn
facts.

Commissioner of Labor Carroll D.
Wright, who is at the head Of the COM
mission investigating the Debs strike at
Chicago, is under newspaper fire because
he has a Pullman free pass, which he says
he uses whenever he wants to. Mr..
Wright is high-minded man, above sus-
picioD of being unduly influenced in his
opinions by Pullman pass or other con-
sideration. Nevertheless, the people of
this country have come TO look with dis
favor upon the use of railway free passes
by public officials, The government pays
the travelling expenses of Mr.. Commits
sioner Wright, hence there is no necessity
nor excuse for him TO have a free pass
from anybody. Mr.. Wright should send
MIR. Pullman's pass back TO him imme-
diately, and never accept another from
any corporation as long as he is in the
governments service. And it should be
unlawful for any public Official to accept
a free pass The mere possession Of one
carries with it an unpleasant suggestion
OF willingness to accept favors and render
value received.

1t is a great pity that Congressman
Turner was too unwell to fill his engage
ment at Hartwell on Saturday. There Is
need in the senatorial contest for the
preaching of the kind of democracy
of which he is an exponent.
1t is believed however, that the
nervous prostration from which he is
suffering-brought on by overwork-win
be sufficiently relieved for him to make
at least three speeches this week. and
afterwards carry out the programme ar
ranged for him. II would, by the way.
be very good idea for the democrats of
the First congressional district, and OF
Chatham county especially, TO invite MIR.
Turner TO make speech in Savannah.
1t would give his conVass for the senator
ship greater impetus if he were to speak

aroused would spread to other quarters of

great hurricane of 1898 that ratified this
town and vicinity. 1t seems quite a while
since the drowning tragedy on Hutchin-

twelve months. The slight damage that
the storm did to property in the city had
been repaired two weeks after the occur

trace of the visitation. But the way the

The recent successful test of pneu-

effect the abandonment of the project to
alter the Vesuvius into a torpedo boat.
At the tests in Port Royal harbor year
or so ago it was demonstrated that the
Vesuvius' guns were all right, but the
fuses used in the shells were not. Since
reliable fuse has been produced there
are reasons to think the Vesuvius would
do the work contemplated by the depart
ment when she was purchased.
