GEORGiA'S WHEAT CROP.

In view of an increasing interest in
wheat growing among the farmers Of
Terrell county the following from
the Columbus Enquirer-Sun makes
timely and interesting reading;
4 correspondent Of the Atlanta
Constitution, writing upon the sub
iect Of more wheat, says that only two
million bushels are raised IN Georgia
each year, the same being only one
fifth of the amount needed to supply
the demand in the state.
Itis only when we loJok at the act
ual figures that we appreciate the
great loss to tins state through the
neglect of the farmers to plant enough
wheat to supply the home demand.
Eight million bushels are needed
to supply the deficiency in this state.
At present prices these eight million
of bushels will cost us in the neighbOr
hood of eight million Of dollars that
each man, woman and child III this
state must pay for bread. Allowing
five members to the family we find that
each Georgia family is taxed $40 each
year to pay for wheat which should
be raised in the state. And it looks
all the less creditable to the intelli-
gence and thrift OF the Georgia people
when we think this tax Is to be paid IN
five-cent cotton.
1t has often been said by some who
claim to be acquainted with southern
soils that some element had been re-
moved which was necessary to the sue
cessful growing of wheat. This ele-
ment is simply general fertility, and
cotton is the agent which has remov-
ed it. The sowing of wheat and the
alternating of that crop with other
crops, such as clover, COW peas and
other plants of a leguminous nature, is
the very best way to restore fertility
and make your soils bring better yields
of wheat.
AS 1t is we are rObbing our SOILS; we
are paying the western farmer for his
wheat; paying the western manufact-
urer to grind it; paying the western
mill hands for their labor; paying the
railroads for transportation, and get
ting an inferior article of food to that
which would come of home production.
Is Georgia so stupid as to keep it up?
THE Augusta Chronicle, like The
News, does not indulge in foolish SEN
timent over the fate of Mrs. Mobiles.
1t says; 1.-The protests that are made
by women against the execution of
Mrs MOBILES would indicate that Wo-
men want to be on an equal footing
with men in the winnings but not in
the losses. If Mr.. Mobiles had muir.
dered Mrs. Mobiles in the same brutal
and heartless manner than this wretch
ed woman murdered her helpless Ole
husband There would not be this hue
and cry for clemency. Women have
no more right to murder their hus-
bands, than men have to murder their
wives, though they may have more ex-
cuse for it,

ONE Of TWO WAYS

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is notliable to any form Of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action of the
kidneys. The second way is from care
less local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
news is the chief cause of bladder tToub-
les. So the womb, like the bladder, was
created FOR enc purpose, and if not doc
tOred too much is not liable to weakness
or disease, except in rare cases. 1t is
situated back of and very close to the
bladder, therefore any pam, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage Is often,
by mis- take, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be as east

HARRISON AS A POPULIST

Ex-President Harrison was quoted in
the Associated Press dispatches yester-
day as being in favor of municipal own
ership Of public utilities Quoting the
experience Of Glasgow and other Eu-
ropean cities, he says that the result of
ingly satisfactory ard instructive. "Of
special Importance" he remarks, "are
the safeguards to be thrown about the
granting of franchises to the promoters
OF great schemes for the public service"
Then Mr.. Harrison criticises the usual
method of granting franchises, as fol-
lows:
The usual methods of selling fran
chses outright or in receiving for them
a royalty seldom give to the people
more than a 1.-THE of what the people
themselves later return. The bigger
the price, the larger the royalty and
the greater the cost of a ride or gas
jet. 1t is species of tax.
Mr.. Harrison's estimate Of the mu-
nicipal franchise and ownership is one
that is held by great mary people,
who have learned the evils of the custom
that has been followed by so many
American cities. 1t would. perhaps be
unfair to set up against these opinions,
as expressed in the foregoing, the fact
that Mr.. Harrison was but few months
ago the leading counsel for the Indian
apolis Street Railway company, which
sought to avoid reduction of the fare
TO three cents, in accordance with the
provisions of the franchise granted the
company by the city, according to the
contention of the citizens
Mr.. Harrison took the case to the su-
preme court, where it was ably argued by
him, and where the company won the
victory. 1t is very evident that Harri-
SON the man and Harrison the lawyer
are two different persons. What the
Republican friends of this ex-presi-
Dental dual parsonage will think of his
advocating Populist principles remains
to be seen.

THE GROWTH OF CITIES

Every ersus shows greater per-
centage OF increase in urban than in
rural population, and If it continue, the
time is not distant when the one will
equal the other, and perhaps the popu-
lation of cities will exceed that of the
country. The enormous growth of our
cities is coming to be regarded as por-
tentous Of great evil to the nation.
The causes which produce urban
growth are many. Men ambitious to
acquire wealth go to cities on account
of their facilities for business, and those
who possess wealth go there to live on
account of the greater conveniences, the
greater activities and the larger facili-
ties for amusement.
and phenomenal growth of cities is the
changed condition in respect to trans
portation. Railroads afford facilities
for trade al way stations, but the mos;
conspicuous result of their influence is
the building up of terminal points. The
effect OF their existence and efforts is
concentration Of business and popula-
ton.
From 1870 to 1890 twenty per cent OF
agricultural laborers were transferred
to other gainfu. pursuits. More than
half engaged in manufacturing indus
tries, and the remainder went into the
professions, and into service as domes-
tics. Facilities for transported ton of
products created the tendency 10 man
ufacture in large establishments re-
quiring an aggregation Of both labor and
capital. The wants OF the world have
so increased that it would be Impossible
to supply them by separate individ-
| ual effort. The increase of wage earn
ers in or near cities where large manu-
featuring plants are established induces
an increase of merchants and dealers
ard those who engage in professional
work and domestic service. This is the
greatest cause Of the disproportionate
growth of cities.
The business of the country is to pro-
duce raw materials. for those engaged in
manufacturing, and food for wage earn
ers, merchants, dealers, professional
men, and others who are habitues of
cities. When food and raw material
products become insufficient to supply
demands there will be shifting of
population from the cities to the coun-
try. Change of conditions only will
who are disposed to try the experiment
of living by their wits or by crime will
seek the city regardless of conditions.

THE ART OF ADVERTISING

It has grown to be a universally ac-
cepted fact that the successful business
man is the shrewd advertiser. The art
of informing the public as TO what one
has to offer has long been regarded as
distinctively American, by reason of
the originality and the acuteDess Of the
native brain. But nothing more in
genious has ever been devised than the
scheme of Partisan who hired the
other day a number OF bald-headed,
men, painted on their pates his special
bargains, and posted them at cafes and
hats they should create both sensation
and a startling advertisement.
Modern advertising has been reduced
in many respects to a positive science,
and the art of the professional ad.
writer commands an even better salary
than that of the editor. Nevertheless,
in the ruthless rush of competition ad-
vertsers apparently sometimes make
remarkable mistakes
A craze at present noticeable in many
large cities anCh som nat cons plcOOuS
in Los Angeles is to cram all ones ad-
vertising into the Sunday paper. Some
merchants procure considerable space
in the Sunday paper but neglect the
equally valuable issue during the rest
of the week. Why this should be so is
not easy to see. 1t is true people have
more time to read the papers on Sunday
but the pages of first-class newspaper
are perused every day. Most merchants
hold that Monday is not the best day in
the week for trade, that Tuesday is bet
ter, and so on. The skillful advertiser
will, of course, place his advertising
when and where it will do most good
Unless his advertisement is very large
one, it will not attract nearly as much
attention among so many others in the
Sunday paper as among considerably
fewer during the week. Those who are
students of the art of advertising will
do well to consider this idea, and at all
events should forego the fallacy of put
ting all their eggs in one basket"
