INVITE THE PRESIDENT.

President Mckinley has promised to
visit Atlanta some time in the near fu-
ture. 1t has been intimated in the Wash
ington dispatches that he might be induc-
ed to visit Savannah during his trip TO the
South. No time should be lost by Savan-
nah in extending him a cordial invitation
to come here. He is very much interested
in the volunteer army. During the next
few months Savannah will be one of the
most important military centers in the
country. It has one of the largest en-
campments in the country It
has been selected as the port of embarka-
tion for the troops going to Cuba and Por-
to Rico, and as the site for the great
army hospital Naturally therefore, the
Presidents interest i'm Savannah is consid-
cradle. He no doubt desires to see how
the volunteers, a whole corps of them,
are living in camp. He may wish to see
what the facilities are for embarking and
debarking the troops. The probabilities
are that just about the time he pays his
visit TO Atlanta the movement to Cuba
will be under way, or preparations for it
win be well advanced. And such being
the case, there are reasons for thinking
that he would be pleased to extend his trip
a few hundred miles further, in order to
make a personal observation and inspec-
lion of the movement.
The President would receive a cordial
welcome in this city. No community or
municipality responded more promptly or
more hberauy to his cali for troops than
did Savannah which furnished nearly one
third of the states quota, and nowhere
has the Administrations war policy receiv-
ed more liberal support than here In the
prosecution of the war the administration
has had the entire confidence of the peo-
pie of this section and the backing of their
representatives in Congress. 1t would still
further oonduce to the mutual good feel
ing and esteem If the people of Savannah
were afforded an opportunity TO demon
strate on their own grounds to The Presi-
dent their respect for the chief executive
of the nation.
Savannah's invitation should so forward
promptly, before other engagements have
been made for the President.

As long as there is doubt and uncertain

to the course that viii be pursued by the

of establishing a satisfactory or prohta-

they exist now may be entirely changed

is in November. Nothing, it is claimed, is
to be lost by deferring the "Trip until early

The matter is one that will no doubt be

WHY PuNIsn sAvANNAHf

In our Washington dispatches published
yesterday ii was stated to be "the in
tontion Of the committee on appropra-
tions to Withhold all further appropria-
tons for Savannah harbor until the Car

disposed Of" we assume that the State
ment was made upon the authority of
some member OF the committee, or of some
person in close touch with the committee,
The proposition is an odd one and it's
acceptance would be gross injustice to
this city and port. The meaning Of it is
that Savannah and the territory which
il serves shall be punished for the posi-
BILE shortcomings OF a government engi-
neer!

TOBACCO FOR PINE LAND.

Year after year hundreds of acres of
Georgia lands, exhausted of their turpen-
tine become unproductive and source of
expense to the owners of them. How can
they be rendered profitable? An answer
to the query may be had by looking to the
village of Mullins, in Marion county. South
Carolina Mullins is in what is called the
Pee Dee section of the state Ten or
twelve years ago 1t knew nothing of any
staple product except turpentine, and a
little cotton. Five years ago the turpen-
tine had all disappeared, because the pines
had all been worked up, and there was
nothing left but cotton. About that time
an enterprising owner of some Of the old
pine land concluded that he would see
what could be done with tobacco on such
land. His success was very fair. -Four
years ago several other land owners and
farmers also planted small tobacco crops,
by way of experiment more than anything
else. And a few weeks ago, about the
middle of September, considerably more
than 100000 pounds of tobacco had been
sold at Mullins at prices ranging from AZ
to % cents a pound, bringing the farmers
cash for a crop of which they knew prac-
tically nothing five years before. Two
large warehouses have been established in
the little village, and the tobacco crop of
next year will probably be twice as large
as that of the current year. On one
acre of tobacco near Mullins a farmer
who sold his crop at an average of a
little more than 8 cents a pound, made
moro than he would have made on three
bales of cotton.
What has been accomplished in this lit
tie South Carolina village could probably
be duplicated, or bettered, in any section
in the turpentine belt of Georgia. It
seems to be accepted that about any fair
pine land can be made fair to-
baceo land: and land that will
not grow cotton or corn profit
ably will produce a fine crop of tobacco
with proper care 1t would certainly be
worth the time OF Georgia farmers and
pine land owners to look carefully into the
matter of tobacco culture. There is a
ready made market for the product, and
hands who know all about tobacco plant
] ing and curing can be hired for reason
| able wages. No good reason appears,
therefore, why Georgia also should not
| become a tobacco producing state on a
large scale. Farmers In the turpentine
| belt might begin on a small scale at first,
and increase their acreage as they become
more familiar with the cultivation of the
weed. 1t seems to beat cotton as a money
! crop.

The Courtship of Charles spurgeon

The COurtShIp Oh CnarleS SpurReOn
An extraordinary book indeed is the
autobiography of Charles H. Spurgeon,
the noted Baptist preacher of London. He
is particularly illuminated In this book
by Mrs. Surgeons contribution, in which
she describes. quite fully their courtship
and marriage. The preacher was barely
q years old when he began to court his
wife, and oddly it happened at the open
ing of the Crystal Palace of that year
he had already given her copy of the
Pilgrims Progress.
The Westminster Gazette thus selects
from Mrs. Surgeons story:
las we sat there talking and amusing
ourselves as best we could while waiting
for the procession to pass by, Mr.. Spur
geon handed me book into which he
had been occasionally dipping, and, point
ing to some particular lines, said: What
do you think of the poets suggestion of
those verses? The volume was Martin
Tupper's 'Proverbial Philosophy then re-
Gently published. The pointing finger
rage" of which the opening sentences
Seek a good wife OF thy God, for she is
the best gift of His Providence.
Yet ask not in bold confidence that which
He has not promised.
If thou art to have a wife of thy youth
she is now living on the earth;
Therefore think of her and pray for her
veal.
do you pray for him who is to be your
husband?" said a soft, low voice in my
ear-so soft that no one else heard the
whisper do not remember that the Dues
ton received any vocal answer; but my
fast-beating heart, which sent a tell-tale
flush to my cheeks, and my downcast
eyes, which feared to reveal the light
which at once dawned in them, may have
spoken a language which love under
stood"
And when the formalities of opening
were over Mr.. Spurgeon asked Miss
Thompson to walk around the palace with
him, and it was all settled. Is it not
charming to learn of a union of hearts
revealed through Martin Farquhar Tup-
per? Mrs. Spurgeon, after more than for
ty years, still can write thus about those
days, still can print without qualm her
husbands pious love letters and describe
the honeymoon and the tradesmen's bills.
There is a slight shock felt In the fact
that the honeymoon was spent in Paris.
Mr.. Sturgeon in Paris is almost incon-
ceVable.

old Novels and New.
From the London Spectator

FROM the London Spectator.
In all the novels of the past,
This or that classic friend,
Heroes and heroinee find at last
Their Eden at the end;
Their luck may fail at first, yet no.
You never feel detected.
But certain that the sorriest throw
BY art VIII be corrected.
You felt q confidence assured,
Despite her mild alarms,
That Orville soon would be allured
BY Evelina's charms;
You know Miss Austen's fetile brain
A method would discover
BY which Anne Eliot might regain
Her banished sailor lover.
But now, egad! the hero wins
The heroine half way through,
And on the following page begins
His triumph to undo;
By quick degrees their fortunes fall
To some malign conclusion,
And so eventuate, after all.
In positive confusion.
For either Angelina, tired
OF Edwin's faithful heart
And by some newer passions fired,
Upsets the apple cart;
Or Edwin. who has seemed a saint
To swell the general sadness,
Develops an ancestral faint
Of drunkenness or madness.
Or worse, In this outspoken age
My modern novel comes,
Exhaling from each gruesome page
The SAVIOR of the slums;
Where Bills and 'Arriets nag and shout
Or deal in matters fistic,
And furious oaths are strewn about
To make it realistic.
Then. since I know that life itself
Has grimness and to spare,
/ take "Pendenns' from the shelf
And find my soace there:
Or in the lists with Ivanhoe
feel my blood a-tinsle.
Or else from stage to stage I go
With Plckwick and with Jingle.
Oh, We who sell such dismal wares,
Let be, good srs. let be;
Are there not sunlit sweet parterres
Whereof you hold the key;
Where one may for a space perchance,
Forget this worlds disorder,
And pluck bright blossoms of romance
From each enchanted border?
