Immigration to Georgia.

Several syndicates are being formed to
settle immigrants in Georgia on the plan
of the Fitzgerald colony in Irwin county.
All of them are looking for suitable loca-
tions in Middle and Southwestern Geor-
gia.' A gentleman from Chicago, a civil
engineer, who visited the Fitzgerald col
ony recently for the purpose of acquaint-
ing himself with what was going on there,
was in the Morning News Office few days
ago. and stated that the colony was the
forerunner of hundreds of others. The
people of the west, and particularly of
the northwest, have only Just begun to
realize he said, the possibilities of the
south as an agricultural and manufacture
ing country. In his opinion it only re-
quires a normal condition of affairs to
bring about a great movement of home
seekers and capital to the south. Chi
cago, the gentleman stated, is especially
alive to what is to be made by land spec
ulation in Georgia.
Every county of the state should be
prepared to encourage immigration and
take advantage of the opportunity for
growth and development. Lower Georgia,
that is, that part of it from Decatur
county to Burke toward the ocean, has
the climate, SOIL and the low-priced
lands which home-seekers are looking for.
1t has as good climate as there is in the
world. and is adapted to almost every
thing that can be grown elsewhere in
this country. Immediately in this corner
of the state there are counties that have
not only. excellent lands. but also good
railroad and water transportation and
first class undeveloped water power. Few
people besides those who live in these
counties know of their resources, and few
will know of them for a long time unless
those who are interested in them take
the proper steps to make them known

Nat Goodwin must be one of the most
unreasonable men in the theatrical BUSH

had won $3.50 at faro. and did not charge
him cent for it. Yet Goodwin was not
satisfied. and brought suit against the

queer things in theatrical advertising.

There are dollars and dollars. To the
citizen of this country a dollar means 100
cents. good for that amount in any civ
ilized country in the world. To citizens
Of other countries the term may mean a
good many things. Here is an illustra-
ton: An Englishman was engaged by a
mining company made up of Englishmen
TO work in Venezuela. His contract stipu-
lated that he was to receive so many dol
lars per month for bis services. When
pay day come the Venezuela company
proffered him Venezuelan dollars of sill
yer. worth about half as much as the dol
lars of the United States. The employee
brought suit for breach of contract and
damages. and the court in which the case
was tried On London) held that dollars
in the contract meant standard money
upon which there was no discount.

The intelligence that >AIessrs. Joseph
Pulitzer and James Creelman have left
Jekyrs Island. in this state, for the gid
ed dome of the World newspaper build
ing in New York, will quiet the pulse of
the country at large. AS long as these
great men remained away from the World
editorial rooms, there was danger that
the British government might sneak up
on the United States in the night some
time, and capture and take away the
treasury at Washington, the bridge be-
tween New York and Brooklyn,
and the statue of Liberty in
the bay. But now that these
mighty defenders of the American people
are on guard. the British government is
absolutely powerless. One wave of their
hands is sufficiently powerful to silence
every gun in the British navy.
