From the New Orleans Picayune Dem).

The recent Venezuela war scare
brought home to the people in a very
startling manner the helplessness of the
country in the way of preparation for
war. 1t is now fully known that we have
past twenty-five years, and that it has
been merely great good fortune which
has protected us from disaster so long.
The support of the solid business inter
passage of the Squire bill, as it will
disarm the opposition which such meas
ures usually encounter from the granger
interests. 1t has been the opposition of
the business interests in the past to ex-
penditures for military preparation that
has delayed the construction of fortifica-
lions so long; hence the removal of that
opposition and the substitution of a
warm Endorsement, have greatly aided the
Squire bill and other similar bills now
before congress.

The verdict in the Ponder case will be
generally approved. There may be a good
deal of sympathy felt for the condemned
man. but those who heard the testimony
cannot but believe that the jury reached
a correct conclusion from the testimony
keenan, abused Ponder and there was
testimony to show that he assaulted him
But there was no testimony to show that
Ponder was justified in killing him.
The effect of the verdict will be good 1t
win make those hesitate who are disposed
to take human life on slight provocations.
1t will tend to discourage the practice of
carrying concealed weapons. A prompt
and strict enforcement of the law is the
surest way to lessen the number of crimes
of violence.

candidate for the successorship to sena-

The Fitzgerald Enterprise reminds ma
tive Georgians that the people Of the Fitz-
gerald colony have lived all of their lives
amid northern surroundings and are i'm
bded with northern ideas. If. therefore.
some Of them should give expression to
views that are disagreeable to their
southern neighbors, it should be remem-
bered that the conditions here are new to
the colonists, and that they have not yet
learned how their neighbors view certain
matters. When the colonists and the ma
tiyes come to understand each other there
is no doubt that mutual good feeling will
be firmly established.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The Lady Poverty was fair,
But she has lost her looks of late,
With change of times, and change of air.
All, slatternl she neglects her hair,
Her gown, her shoes; she keeps no
state,
AS once when her pure feet were bare.
Or-almost worse. If worse can be-
She scolds in parlors, dusts and trims.

Whom Francis met, whose step was free.
Who with Obedience caroled hymns,
In Umbria walked with Chastity?
Where is her ladyhood? Not here,
Not among modern kinds of men;
But in the stony fields, where clear
Through the thin trees the skies appear.
In delicate spare soil and fen,
And slender landscape and austere.

A prophetic hen has given to the world,
at Newborn, Ga, an egg, inside the shell
of which, according to the veracious
chronicler, was "a square inch of print

chronicler fails to reproduce the text of
the egg-message; but that is a small mat
ter, each reader can fill in the deficiency
according to the exigencies of the oc-
casion. The fact that there was printing
in the egg is an ominous omen and I'M

From the Philadelphia Record Dem1

Washington dispatches confidently de-
clare that congress, admonshed by the
hold-up of the tariff bill will decline to
admit any more states to the union where
by the free coinage representation in
the Senate would be increased. The tail
has wagged that dog long enough, and
the dog naturally thinks that the time
has come to sit down upon it,

PierpOnt Morgan's Letter.
from the Richmond Dispatch Dem

The circular of ]. p. Morgan & Co.
announcing the dissolution of the syn
dictate formed with view of taking up
the new government loan, seems to be
a frank, straightforward statement of
Mr.. Morgans connection with the mat
ter. 1t relieves the President and Mr.
Carlisle-if such testimony were needed
in good faith in Offering the bonds for
public subscription, and expresses the
opinion that there is no question as to
the success of the loan.

Sixty-eight public hydrants is. a mighty
small number for a city of the size of
Savannah. 1t is absolutely necessary for
the protection of the health of the city
that there should be free hydrants in GER
ain sections The water works is some
thing more than a mere revenue raising
institution; its functions are broader
than the providing of fund for it's own
maintenance. There are in this city and
will remain here, numerous families who
positively cannot pay for water; still they
must have it, And the city must furnish
it. The idea that the free hydrants must
be gradually abolished is not a good one.
Economy in the use of water should of
course be required, but a penny-wise
policy should not be adopted

You may talk about your trolleys, your
motorcycles and your bikes" but the
mule is still on deck in Georgia, and is
likely to remain there for years and years
to come Four hundred and thirty-five
mules were sold in GAINESVILLE last year,
and they brought good prices. There are
people who see in the large purchases of
mules in various parts of the state an in
dication of an increased cotton acreage.
That, however may be doubted. Year be-
fore last, when the hard times were hard
est, there was a general reduction of the
working stock on farms, through volun-
tary sales and the foreclosing of mort
cages. The last crop left the farmers with
money to their credit with which to buy
mules. and they have lately been replen-
ishing their stables with farm animals
Mules will pillow corn, rice. potatoes and
peas just as willingly as they will plow
cotton. 1t is just as reasonable to say that
the increased purchases of mules mean
increased food crop acreages as that they
mean increased cotton aereages.

Since 1898 the level of the great lakes
has fallen nearly six feet There is talk
now of raising the level, or at least pro-
viding against a still further lowering of
it, by building dam across the Niagara
river at Grand Island, about half way be-
tween the falls and Buffalo. The scheme
is pronounced feasible by competent en-
gineers After the feat of Harvesting the
falls almost anything in connection with
the controlling of the Niagara river and
the lakes seems reasonable.
The senatorial contest in Kentucky is
not yet ended. The banoting begins next
Tuesday. What changes may take place
between now and then cannot be foretold.
There are numerous kinks in legislative
procedure, and some of them may be en-
ployed in a surprising manner At pres
ent it LOCKS very much as if the next
senator from Kentucky would be a repub-
lican.

Mr.. F. H. Fitzgerald, the founder of the
old soldiers colony in Irwin and Wilcox
counties, in letter to the Manufacturers
Record, says he selected Georgia for the
colony mainly because it was demonstrate
cd TO the people of the west, when Ne
braska was suffering for the necessaries
of life that Georgia produced food crops
in abundance. lie said when he read in
the papers that a train load of provisions
corn, flour and meat-had been shipped
from the Empire state of the south to the
suffering and starving Nebraskans, he
made up his mind that Georgia was the
state for western people who wanted
homes in a moro desirable climate. He at
once determined to visit Georgia. lie
found the climate and soil all that could
be desired. and. with the aid of ex-Gov
Northen, he lost no time in selecting a
suitable location.
1t seems therefore. that that train of
provisions which went to the west from
Georgia has brought splendid returns 1t
has drawn the attention of the whole
country to this state Every newspaper in
the union, nearly, has had something to
say of the Fitzgerald colony.
And that is not the only colony that
Georgia is to get Even now there are
several other colonies in process of for
nation. Besides the colonies. settlers are
coming into the state from nearly every
direction. The most of them are finding
t,Op,oq in cOutbcort apG Southwest caOr
gia. That they viii be satisfied is certain
that is, if they are prepared to make an
earnest and conscientious effort to secure
homes for themselves. They can get good
land at a low price-land that win yield
abundantly and that is well adapted for
grain or cotton or fruits. We confidently
expect to see some of the South Georgia
counties have twice their present popula-
ton within the next ten years.
