President Brown of the agricultural So
ciety based his assertion with regard to
the improved condition of Georgia far
mers upon documentary evdence-indis-
putable facts and figures. He has been
keeping books on his farm for many years,
and can tell precisely what profit or loss
there was in the business during that
time. Probably IL many of the farmers
who are disposed TO complain of hard times
would keep a set of books on the farm.
they would learn that II is not so much
lack of certain legislation which makes
the times hard as it is a lack of wholesome
economy. There is probably no other bus
mess in the world that is so generally run
by rule-of-thumb as farming is In the
south. A n1oney-making concern cannot
be run haphazard. and there is every rea-
son why the farm should be considered
just as much In the light OF a money
maker as the store and the shop are.

A Story of MIR. bryan.

William Jennings Bryan was travelling
from Washington to this city not very
long ago, says the Philadelphia Record.
When the train arrived at Wilmington a
newly married couple hastily boarded the
train amid a shower of rice and old shoes
Mr.. Bryan, recognizing In the groom an
old friend at the first opportunity ap-
preached him and offered congratulations.
Naturally, he was introduced to the young
mans newly made spouse, and in the
course of conversation remarked you
certainly are a very plucky woman to get
married during this administration"
He did not calculate that this young
lady had not been married long enough
to have had her politics changed, and
was rather taken back by her reply: "If
1t were not for the present administra-
ton. we would not have been able to have
gotten married at ALL" Mr.. Bry-
an, however dispelled the gloom
with a few silvery remarks, and 1t was
very congenial party which arrived Ia
Philadelphia.

Our CommercIaI Advantages.

Are we making the most of our COM
nercal advantages tere in Savannah? If
not, why not?
We worked hard to get the appropria-
tons necessary to give US a deep channel
to the sea, with the expectation that such
a channel would enable our railroads 10
largely increase their business and the
business of the port. We have the deep
channel, but our expectations have not
been realized in the matter Of the export
business Of the port.
other South Atlantic ports and the Gulf
ports are showing wonderful increase in
their export business. Their railroads APP
pear to be reaching out to the west for
business.
dispatch from Newport News of March
20 says: This has been another busy
week in shipping circles, the grain trade
being especially large. Since the first of
the month nearly 1900. 900 bushels Of grain
have been loaded by foreign ships. besides
nearly 1900 head of cattle, consgnments
of cotton, agricultural implements, furni-
ture, oil and general merchandise; and
this Is said to be but the augury of a
larger business. Soundings have been TAX
en- for two more piers, and the work of
building them, it is said will be begun in
the near future. Another elevator is an
assured fact"
We have many times called attention to
the very large and steadily increasing
grain shipments of New Orleans and Cal
weston, and in a communication in this is
sue attention is called to what is being
done at Charleston and Mobile.
And what are we doing here in Savan-
nah? We have deep water. splendid
wharves and as good railroads reaching
to the west as any other southern port.
Why, then, are not cattle and grain being
exported through this port? 1t cannot be
said that we are lacking in facilities for
handling grain or that we have not as
many advantages in all other respect as
Newport News, Norfolk, New Orleans,
Mobile or Galveston, and yet these ports
are getting the greater part of the vast
export business of the west that formerly
reached the seaboard at New York, while
Savannah is getting none of 1t. Are we
tired here in Savannah or are we wanting
in the spirit of progress? Surely some
thing is the matter with us, or we would
have part of the great export business of
the west, or know the reason why.

In a local article in the Morning News
yesterday it was intimated that the city
authorities have under consideration a
proposition to exchange the city dock at
the foot of East Broad street for certain
rights of way. needed for the opening of
River street. The city council would make
a mistake to accept that proposition.
Instead of closing more of the city docks,
some of those already closed should be
reopened. There is only one slip between
Bull street dock and East Broad street
where a row boat can make a landing,
and if the East Broad street dock were
closed to the public there would not be
free boat landing east of Abercorn street
The free docks or slips are valuable adj
juncts to the commerce of the port. be-
cause they not only afford landing places
for small boats belonging to the shipping
and those plying between Hutchinson Is
land and the city but they are necessity
to the people living on the rivers and sea-
coast, who come to Savannah to sell their
products and purchase supplies.
Every day there are additional evidences
that Savannah's general business de-
Ponds upon her commerce. 1t is therefore
bad policy to reduce her commercial facil-
tiles in any respect. In fact, instead of d.
minishing any of them, steps should be
taken to enlarge and improve them so as
to afford ample and free dockage and safe
landings for small boats.
In connection with this subject 1t may
not be out of place to say that the city
should repair the stone stairway and the
pavement leading down to the Bull street
or exchange dock. That way of getting
down to the river is used by people having
business on Hutchinson Island, and also
those who travel on the Beaufort and
Bluffton steamers

Mrs. Besant the theosophist leader, IS
instructing New York with regard to the
human aura" which she says is the
glow Of the supreme essence" produc-
ed by astral vibrations. The aura, or
light is supposed to surround the physl-
cal body, and the color Of it indicates diff
ferent types Of persons. or different emo
tlons. Thus red denotes anger. blue shows
devotion. rose discloses the soul OF love.
while yellow indicates extreme spiritual
power. Therefore, person with yellow
aura should never be asked, How is your
liver?"

A Tax on Civilization.

spondent OF the Boston Globe says: As
the Porter went dashing down the river
Gen. Alger expressed himself as delighted
and said to Secretary Herbert that he was
glad he was in the cabinet, as by the end
Of his term he might have saved money
enough TO buy a small steam yacht,
something he had always wanted.
As everyone knows Gen. Alger Is a mil
lionaire and Mr.. Herbert has practically
nothing. Herbert looked at the new Sec

left TO buy a sheet Of paper on which TO
write an order for yacht in fact. II you

And so Speaker Reed decides that there
is practically no difference between a
democrat and a populist! Probably the
speaker has never heard about certain re-
cent campaigns in the state Of North Car
DINA and Alabama How did Prltchard,
republican, of North Carolina set into
the Senate? The populsts put him there.
How did the republicans get their heads,
into the patronage pig-trough in North
Carolina? The republicans let down the
bars for them. Who helped RUDE Kolb
in his assault upon the state of Alabama?
The republicans. There are numerous in
stances which go to show that the popu-
list is just as near to being a republican
as a democrat, If not little nearer.
. Chicago seems to be a great place for as
trology, and religion and wheat specula-

the strength of a tip which he said he got
direct from the stars. His tip was appar-
emily so reliable that the women plunged,

might have been expected, the market
went the wrong way, and the women were

Baltimore was compelled only a short
while ago to open a vigorous and relent-

dogs in the streets. There are altogether
too many dogs on the streets of this city.
The majority of them are not worth the

their lives There should be a strict en-
forcement of the dog ordinance; and if
the laws now on the books are not ade-
quate to the abatement of the dog nuis-
ance, they should be revised and strength
ened. No dog should be permitted in The
