SOUTHERN WOMAN WILL KEEP GREEN ]
 THE GRAVES OF SOUTHERN HEROES

of the declaration of independence that governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed had something of a shock in the war between the states and island subjects of the United States will find little comfort in reading that eel ebrated instrument by the light of suose- quent history. The difficulties of the race problem abroad ought to bring a charitable judgment of the same thing here al home, and we may reasonably expect our northern brethren to meet us hereafter rather in spirit of inquiry than of rebukc."
 To Baniss False Histories
 The committee recommends that an ef- fort be made to banish from the schools any books which teach false lessons, either of fact or sentiment, and to this end sug- gests the appointment of a committee of three members in each state, whose duty it shall be to examine school histories therein used.
 In discussing the report Dr. J. l.. NJ. Curry discussed the right of secession and defended the course of the south as con- stitutonal and then denounced mob ru and lynchings in unmeasured terms. An effort was then made to proceed with the election of officers, but it gave way to the committee on resolutions and the ex- citing feature of the session began. The substitute for General Lees resolution was presented by General Carwile, and when 1t AAeNu bSSH iSStdi INeN. S. T. MaTtln or Nlr- ginia got the floor, and although the con- vention was in an uproar he secured recog- milton.
 MT. Martin regretted he could not vote for the resolution. His first objection was that 1t had no business before the eohyen- tion.
 We have" he said, taken hold of an incidental remark of Mr. McKinley's look ing to his coming election. (Applause). There is no proposition from the president of the United States or from the congress of the United States that they are going to do anything for our confederate states and recognize the principles for which we fought. There has been nothing said by the United States government that looks to the care of the graves of our soldiers in tke northern states. It puts in the light of going before that government and ask ing for something from those who slew our men.'

suIcidaI intend VS.. Instinct

It's a question, in my mind" said a
prominent New Orleans lawyer to the
Times-Democrat. whether a person who
knows how to swim can commit suicide
by drowning. The instinct of self-preser-
walton is so strong that it would be ant
to dominate the brain in spite of every
thing. Robert Louis Stevenson spins the
point into a graphic episode in one of his
South Pacific stories, and quite a peculiar
case along the same line once came under
my professional observation.
"A client of mine who had a good deal
OF trouble was found dead one day in mis-
bathtub, and it really looked as If the
poor fellow had drowned himself. Hi,
previous declarations, the state of his af-
fairs, and the fact that he never bathed
at that hour all pointed so strongly to
suicide that the family were inclined to
accept the theory. But l couldn't bring
myself to believe in the possibility of a
strong man deliberately holding his head
under water until he suffocated, and /
insisted on an autopsy, which revealed
unmistakable evidences of valvular heart
disease. He had simply had a stroke while
bathing 1t proved to be a very valua-
bic discovery to the family, for he car
rled considerable insurance, which would
nave been voided by suicide
AHolher case L know of was that of an
ola German who hanged himself on q
farm IN the northern part OF the state.
The rope was so long that when he was
found his feet were trailing on the floor.
and the only explanation was that he had
held up his knees until he lost conscious
ness. l was consulted by a relative who
didn't accept this theory and suspected
murder. and the first thing did was 20
closely examine the rope. 1 found creases
showing plainly that there had been q
large knot in the middle, which the weight
OF the body had evidently pulled loose.

SYNDICATE FARMING.

There are hundreds. probably thousands,
of acres of land in this county which once
grew bountfui crops of cotton rice and
corn, but which are now covered with
valueless forest growth, or else are so SLOW
enly cultivated as to make the labor ex-
pended practically wasted Passing
through a dense pine growth in the south
ern part of the county the other day the
gentleman who owns the tract of land re-
marked TO his companion that when he
was a boy that tract had been his fathers
most productive sea island cotton planta-
ton.
1t is a matter of wonder TO many who
see the immense tracts of unemployed land
in the county. and in the neighborhood of
the city, why it remains idle while there
are thousands of colored and hundreds of
white persons in and about Savannah who
seemingly are doing nothing TO earn
living. There are many reasons for this
condition of affairs. Some of them can
be remedied. while others cannot.
One Of the difficulties. and one which it
seems could be mitigated if not removed,
syndicates which bought the lands during
the boom times of several years ago. and
which cannot now sell out their holdings
at anything like their cost.
The good OF the community would be ad-
vanced If these now Idle lands were
brought under cultivation. To this end the
Morning News suggests that the land syn
dleates transform themselves into cooper
alive agricultural companies. and take
steps to make the lands productive. By
putting a little more capital into their
investments, and employing competent
men as managers, the syndicates could.
no doubt get interest on the money now
tied up in unproductive acres. And at
the same time employment would be
given 10 labor. to the benefit Of the whole
community.
There isn't any reason why corn, cotton
susar cane and probably tobacco also.
cannot be raised with profit on the lands
in question. 1t has been done, and il can
be done again. Would II not be we'll for
