The census returns are very gratifying
20 south Georgiaus In the last ten
years their section OF tho state has grown
much faster than tho northern section. AMI
there b reason for this Nearly an OF
enc South Georgia counties are admlra bly,
adapted 60 agriculture. The climate is
cXccllen, and she land g. fertile. In
deed, O. rs doubtful n anywhere else Ia
the world are there more attractions Tor
farmers.
In every one 81 these counties grain ana
cotton Weld abundantly when properly
cultivated ard IN some OF them tobacco
aud sugar cane are grown not only very
successfully bm very probably. Both
soil and climate are admirably adapted
TO fruits. such as peaches. pears and
grapes. IL is doubtful II la all the land
there IS a more favored SPOT than South
Georgia Il Is capable Of sustaining zen
times che population IL has.
Unless those who know this section Of
the STATE thoroughly are greatly mistaken
60 will not bee many years before land
ln al Of ils counties will command double
the price that Is asked for it now. I,
f. getting an excellent class OF imml-
grants. and the number OF them IS ete.,d.
ily Increasing. IL is gratifying TO know
that tho whole state is prosporlnr. hut
81 is especially so TO know that south

THE COLORADO HORROR.

The burning 60 death at the stake OF
the negro John Porter near Llmon. colo
RADIO. on Friday was mob law IN its
worst form. Il was terrible penalty
that ho paid FOR his crime and there Is
no doubt that he deserved tho punishment
that was melted out 20 him. but IL Is 10
be profoundly regretted that the law was
40 permitted 60 take us course. II Sc q
question II horrifying punishmcnis lnaict-
ed by a mob have a deterrent effect upon
those who are oriminally inclined But %
IS certain that they have bad effect upon
the communities "a which they are in
dctod
The burning OF tho negro Porter was
not for the purpose OF satisfying justice.
bu, OF gratifying "a desire FOR vengeance
The feelings OF the injured father were
permitted 70 dictate the punishment. II
the law had been permitted 20 take Its
course justice would have been done. and
the people OF Lincoln county would have
been moro ready and willing In the fu-
ture 60 respect the law. The horrible
/ lynching lowered their moral standard
aud prepared them for other scenes OF
lawlcsancss.
when there was a lyuchlng by burning
IN this state. year or two ago. Il was
inumated IN many OF tho Northern papers
that such q thing could not have occurr-
ga anywhere IN this country outside OF
,he South. A. that time We took the po-
sltlon that t. was just as likely 10 occur
I ia "a Northern as Southern state under
similar conditions.
/ Colorado Is q long way from the South
and It's population is composed largely OF
| Northern people. The lynching there was
as barbarolas as the one Ia this state or
the one IN Texas. each one 81 them being

The retirement of old stories.

One is sometimes compelled to wish
that there could be law against telling
stories which have gone the rounds until
they are fully entitled to a pension. There
is, for example, the tale Of Turner and
the fashionable patron who said she never
saw such sky as that in one Of his
pictures, and received the rejoinder,
Madam, don't you wish you could?"
That story has been told on an average
at least thousand times a year, ever
since its first appearance; and ii still hobs
up at intervals in magazines and news
papers, introduced by some hard worked
hack who wants TO fill space, or some fresh
young writer who thinks he has learned
something which Is unknown TO the rest
old, decrepit anecdote was laid away in
its tomb.
OF course as Solomon observed several
centuries ago. there is nothing new under
the sun, and it is doubtful IL that obser-
walton was novel in his day. 1t is hard
familiar and original in the way of anec-
dote and comment. Mark Twain explained
that. in his history OF the jumping Frog"
story. in which he admitted that that tale
of the Argonauts could be traced back to
the time of Aristophanes, or Whereabouts.
But there really ought to be some effort
on the part of literary and other maya
zines and periodicals to avoid the continual
use Of the old story In a new form. There
are few things more disheartening than
TO begin the perusal of little tale, os-
tensibly new, and discover, when one is
about half way through, that 1t bears the
old familiar face of Jest once executed
by clown in Dan Rice circus, or kept
In the sheltering covers of a school reader
some time in the ffties. There is only
one thing more likely TO produce feelings
Of disgust and rage, and that is 10 read
such story nearly TO the end and find |
that ii is an advertisement of a patent |
There are two ways OF palming the old |
oke off as a new one. The least compli-
'ated is TO change the phraseology, make |
I more elaborate. expand the original
mall joke of one paragraph into short
tory, and describe all the scenery, char
cters, and psychological phenomena con-
erned. The other way-which is slightly
more difficuit--is to use the joke in very
early its original form, but attach to it
he name of some noted character not
with 1t as at first repeated.
