GROWTH OF SOUTH GEORGIA.

The census returns are very crafty
ing to South Georgians. In the last
ten years their section of the state has
grown much faster than the northern
section. And there is reason for this.
Nearly all of the South Georgia coun-
ties are admirably adapted to agricul-
ture. The climate is excellent and the
land is fertile. Indeed, it IS doubtful
if anywhere else in the world are there
more attractions for farmers.
In every one of these counties grain
and cotton yield abundantly when pro-
perly cultivated, and in some of them
tobacco and sugar cane are grown not
only very successfully but very profit
ably. Both soil and climate are admir-
ably adapted to fruits, such as peaches,
pears and grapes. 1t is doubtful if in
all the land there is more favored
spot than South Georgia. It is capable
of sustaining ten times the population
it now has.
Unless those who know this section
of the state thoroughly are greatly mis-
taken it will not be many years before
land in all of It's counties will COM
mand double the price that Is asked for
it nov. It is getting an excellent class
of immigrants, and the number of them
is steadily increasing. It is gratifying
to know that the whole state is pros.
pering, but it Is especially so to know
that South Georgia is making such
rapid progress. News.

HONORs FOR MR.. LANE.

The Atlanta Constitution pays this
deserved compliment to Hon. W. T.
Lane, one of Sumters popular represen-
tatives in the general assembly. The
Constitution says:
Representative W. T. Lane, of Sum-
ter, who has been assigned by Speaker
Little to the Craftsmanship of the COM
mIttee on county and county matters,
is, while one of the youngest members
of the house, also one of the ablest.
No craftsmanship imposes more ardu-
GUS duties or greater responsibility
than that to which Mr.. Lane has been
appointed. Practically all the local
measures introduced IN the house are
referred to the committee on county
matters, and to preserve and maintain
the rights of the counties IN their petit
tions to the general assembly is in it
self matter of great Importance.
Representative Lane is serving his
second term in the house. Before re-
moving to Americas, his present home,
he resided at Monticello and was may
or of that town. The junior member
from Sumter is engaged in the practice
of law with Judge r. l.. Maynard,
former Judge of the county court of
Sumter and one of the leading lawyers
of the county. The partnership was only
consummated during the past week.

Pension Commissione1Evans reports
that "a, 600 applications of pensions on
account of the war with Spain have al
ready come in, and The PIttsburg Dis
patch figures it out that this number
asquals the whole number of men we
had in the field in that war. Shafter
look 1900 to Santiago, and reinforce
ments brought the number sent there
to 10000. Gen. Miles took 5000 to
Porto Rico, where there was no fight
ing, and most of them soon returned.
Merritt took II 900 or 12, 900 to Manila.
These are all who went out of the coun-
try and into the vicinity of actual war.
But there were about 100, 900 more
who spent more or less time in camps
IN various parts of the country.
The remedy for the pension evil is to
prosecute a few pension attorneys.
They are the ones that work up the
cases, We known several soldiers in

Since the day Edmund Burke poured
forth the walls of his wrath upon the
head of Warren Hastings there has
seldom been a more overwhelming and
terrific denunciation than that found in
Bishop Potter's letter to Mayor Van
Wyck on the subject of vice on the
East Side of New York. When Van
Wyck received it his accustomed impu-
dence and assurance left him, and he
answered the Bishop that he would
find him his staunch supporter.

American farmers ought to be the
most prosperous people IN the world,
for they feed and clothe more people
than any two nations of the earth.
They produced the stuff and the people
of the earth must have our surplus and
must pay good round prices for it, In
this country one man can grow food
for one hundred. No other people, in
any age, can or could do as much.
Then, if the American farmer has the
world at his mercy, by virtue of his
superior intelligence aud industry,
why should he not be rich Well, we
suppose it is because he has no power
to regulate the price of his products;
that being done by produce gamblers
after the farmer has alienated them.

A bill pending IN the Legislature
proposes an appropriation of $1,000 to
be expended for the purpose of defray-
ing the expenses of holding farmers in
stitutes, which are provided for in the
measure. These institutes may, broad
ly, be called normal schools of agricul-
ture. They provide for gatherings of
the farmers, at which an interchange
of opinion and a recounting of expert
ments and successes is the general or
der. When one farmer learns new
method of accomplishing a certain OBJ
ject, or finds way of cheapening pro-
duction, he gives the benefit of his dis
covery to HE fellow farmers at the In
stitute. The social side of the insti-
tute lie also very attractive to the far
mers' wives and daughters. In many
states the institutes have become fix
ture, and good results have been
achieved by them. They should be en-
couraged in Georgia.
