THE NATIONAL MILITARY CONvEN-
TION

The Indications are that the national
convention to consider the reorganization
Of state troops. which is to assemble at
Tampa on Feb. 8, will be a largely at
tended and influential gathering, and that
its proceedings will be of much benefit TO
legislative bodies which will shortly take
action respecting the state troops. The
call states that it viii be the object Of
the convention to discuss and suggest
methods for placing state troops on the
most effective footing, and that questions
relating to arms. equipments, tactics,
clothing, food, etc. will receive attention.
In view of the possible departure of this
government from its former foreign policy
and the probability that calls may be
made for troops to go on foreign service,
the relations that shall exist between the
state troops and the national government
will no doubt be one of the most inter
esting themes of discussion. Under the
existing laws, state volunteer organiza-
tons cannot be called out for foreign
service; shall the authorities at Washing
ton be given more power over the state
militia, or what arrangement shall be
made for meeting possible demands of the
government for troops TO serve outside of
the territory of the United States?
The fact that there are army reorganiza-
ton and other military bills pending in
Congress will give additional interest to
the Tampa conventions proceedings. In
the convention there will be number OF
delegates who, having gone from the state
militia into the federal volunteer army at
the outbreak of the war with Spain, will
have expert knowledge of what Is lacking
in the militia, and what should be done
to put it upon a more effective basis and
in closer touch, mechanically, at least,
with the national army. That the two
great branches of the national land de-
lenses, the regular army and the militia,
should be able to work together as per-
what extent should the general govern
ment assist the state troops, and to what
extent should the state troops be subject
to the call of the national government?
The men who will compose the mem
bership of the Tampa convention will be
representatives of those persons who must
be depended upon 10 fill up the ranks of
the state troops. What the delegates say
and decide upon may, therefore, be taken
as an expression of their wishes
in the matter by the citizen
soldiery, and as such ought 20 have the
careful attention of Congress and all other
bodies that may be called upon to pass
laws to govern or to reorganize the state
troops

ADVICE TO FARMERS.

Tho commissioner of agriculture, Mr. o.
B. Stevens, gives some very good advice
to the farmers of this state. He tells them
not to think of giving up their farms and
moving into the towns because the chances
of improving their condition by doing so
are not good. His advice to them is TO
stick to their farms and give more atten-
ton TO fruits, grain and stock and less to
cotton. There is no doubt that he is right
in what he says. There is nothing in the
town for men who have spent the greater
part of their lives on farms to do. And
there is an excellent chance not only to
make living on the farms, but also to
put by something for time of need. But,
in order to accomplish anything on the
farms 1t is necessary to give up the all
cotton idea. The South Atlantic states
cannot compete with the Gulf states in
growing cotton. In Texas, particularly,
good crops of cotton can be grown without
fertilizers. In this state fertilizers are
a big item in the cost of raising cotton.
But there are opportunities for the farm
ers of this state in grain, fruits and stock.
The commissioner of agriculture calls at
tention to the number of flour mills which
are being erected in the state, and also to
the fact that packing houses are being built
and others are being projected. There is
no doubt that cattle, sheep and hogs can
be grown profitably in all parts of this
state. But, in order to make the business
of stock raising profitable, it must be con-
Quoted intelhgently. A farmer should plant
MI.
ton seed should be fed to his stock. The
farmers make mistake when they sell
their cotton seed. They should feed it to
their stock. In that way they would get
more for their seed than now and, besides,
they would have something with which TO
enrich their lands. BY diversifying their
crops in the way we have suggested their
farms would soon be far more productive
than they are, and would enable their
owners not only to live in comfort, but to
get ahead in the world
The farmers cannot make a living if
they devote their farms wholly to cotton
They have it in their power to greatly i'm
prove their material condition. They may
not see cleary how they can follow the ad-
vice which the commissioner of agriculture
gives them, but they will be able to do so
if they give the matter as careful thought
as 1t deserves.

SNIP YARDS AND SNIP BUILDING

The suggestion that a ship yard be es-
tablished here has met with a very ia
vorable reception. 1t is to be hoped that
the matter will be agitated until the prop
osition takes shape and the enterprise be-
comes assured. There is hardly room for
questioning that a ship building plant
would be a success If enough capital were
invested in 1t to once get the building of
ships well started. And there is a plenty,
a superabundance, of idle money here
which might be thus invested and the
stock is being added to each day Owing
to the scarcity OF, local securities, new
investments must be found for this money.
1t is not desirable to place it at home,
where il win not only earn good interest,
but enhance all other values?
Ship yards and ship building would not
be novel enterprises in Savannah. Moth
ing very extensive in ship building has
been done here since the war of seces-
sion, but previous to that time there was
for long period hardly year in which
one or~more steamboats, or other craft were
not built in Savannah. And, in the case
and houses of local construction, but the
engines and boilers were turned out from
Savannah machine shops. So staunchly
constructed were many of these steamers
that several of them became blockade
runners, while others were captured, and
under changed names piled for many years
after the war on Northern rivers
Savannah and Milledgevile. the gunhoat
Isondiga, the Macon, a brig-rigged war
vessel and a number of merchant craft,
which ran the blockade, were built in Sa-
vannah ship yards. They were ALL of
course, wooden craft. Since the war a
number of river boats have been
constructed here. A few years ago Capt.
John Lawton built at a place up the
river not far from the city, an iron steam
er, the Alpha The work was done under
the supervision of a ship carpenter, but
the worlSmen were country boys who had
never had any experience in that line
The only machines used were a boiler
iron roller and punching machine. OBJ
tanned in this city. The engines were the
product OF a local machine shop. The AL
pha piled between this city and Beaufort
for a long time, and is still in service.
A craving dock would also pay at this
port There is not now one at a South
Atlantic port, save the government dock
at Port Royal. Before the war of seces-
sion Savannah had two floating docks,
one of which was large enough to take
in the greatest vessels of those days The
other was a sectional dock. The larger
dock was sunk by the Confederates in one
of the small rivers below the city TO pre-
vent the federal gunboats from approach
ing the batteries. What remains of it
may now be seen at certain stages of the
tide. If there was business for two docks
then, there certainly must be business for
one large one now.

GEN. MILES, CHARGES.

It begins to look as If the charges which
Gen. Miles persists In reiterating respect
ing the character of the beef which was
furnished 10 the army during the war
with SPAIN could no longer be ignored.
It has been stated that he would be court
martia,ed. but there does not seem, as
yet to be sufficient foundation for that
assertion. 1t was expected that the SEN
tence in the case Of Gen. Eagan would put
an end to the beef scandal. but it seems
that such is not the case. Gen. Miles Is
as positive and aggressive about the char
acter of the beef supplied to the soldiers
as he was before Gen. Eagan wrote his
nasty letter.
What the public doesn't understand is
the failure Of the commission which is in
vestisating the conduct of the war to go 10
the bottom Of the beef scandal. Why
doesn't the commission summon Gen
Miles and require him to furnish the testi-
mony. which ne says he has in his pos
session, respecting the beef? 1t is true
he was before the commission once, but
he did not then state half as much about
the character of the beef as he has since
If he can show that the beef was what
he says ii was he ought to be given an
opportunity 10 do so. 1t is all wrong to
keep up the fight over the matter in the
newspapers. If the beef was treated with
chemicals. or If it was unfit for food
there ought to be no difficulty in showing
the facts.
II is evident that the beef scandal has
reached such proportions that something
must be done about it. The government
cannot afford to leave 1t where it is In
fact Gen. Miles refuses TO leave it in its
present condition. If there is no founda-
ton for the charges which he makes he
ought to be removed from his position as
the commanding general Of the army.
Gen. Miles says that he is simply stand
ing up for The army. That statement nat
urally gives him the sympathy and sup
port of the people. It is not Improbable
that back of his fight for the army is his
hostility to the Secretary of War He
was practically ignored I'm the war with
Spain, and his orders to certain officers
were wholly disregarded. He has a griev-
ance. therefore, and for that reason he
may attach more weight to what his Of
ficers say respecting the character of the
beef served TO the soldiers than II is en-
titled to. Anyway. the charges he makes
should be thoroughly investigated and the
truth in respect to them given to the pub
lie. If the commission investigating the
conduct of the war will moi do the in
vestigating then the whole matter ought
to be referred to another tribunal Let it
be known whether Gen. Miles is mistaken
or is influenced by a grievance to such an
extent that he is reckless as to what he
says. or whether beef contractors actually
furnished poisonous food to our soldiers
thus destroying them, for the sake of
few dollars. The people pay the bills and
they are entitled to the facts

An inventor has perfected an apparatus
by the use of which sound may be greatly
increased. He ought to be chased
out of the country. Nothing of the
kind is needed. What is wanted is some
thing to diminish sound; something that
will deaden the roar and rattle of city
wagons; that will nullify the shrin and
untuneful whistle of the small boy; some
thing that will absorb the clatter and
bang of the piano under the hand of the
learner; something that will render voice
less, In so far as sound is concerned, the
chattering bore who imagines that the
impatient listner has nothing In the world
to do but listen and that what is being said
is of Importance. No. it is not a sound
multiplier that is wanted.

1t appears from the reasoning of a writer
in the London Lancet that the average of
human life has been advanced from about
40 TO nearly so years, and that this re-
markable and very gratifying change has
taken place during the past half-century.
The chief cause of the improvement the
Lancet's writer believes TO be the improved
sanitation of modern life, which removes
many obstacles to the normal development
of the human body.
