PEACH CROP PROFITS.

Is the Georgia peach crop a profitable
one? There seems to be ground for ask
ing this question in view of the fact that
statements frequently appear in the pub
lie prints that unless the railroads re-
duce their rates for transporting the fruit
to market the peach-growing business
will decline in this state.
1t is true that the peach growers have
great deal to contend with. If the
weather spares their crop they have still
the various pests which infest the trees
and the diseases to which the fruit is
subject to contend with. Even when a
fine crop is assured the grower is not
through with his troubles. Overstocked
markets and crooked commission mer-
chants may make the margin between
profit and loss an exceedingly small one
The rates of the railroads may be high
err than they ought to be. We are not
prepared to express an opinion on that
question. II is probable, however, that
the roads which take the peaches from
the orchards make very little out of the
seasons business. Their expenses are
NASiAiSeSs VI lnty lOoh
to the money which Is brought into the
state by the crop. The money is distrib-
uted in various ways and the railroads
get share of the business it creates.
The question as to the profits of the
peach crop was suggested by state
ments made recently by some North
Georgia peach growers. According to
their figures there is nothing to which
the Georgia land owner can turn his at
tention that is so profitable as peaches.
With all of the drawbacks connected with
their production they yield a far bet
ter return than grain or cotton or cattle.
And that they are profitable is evident
from the number of orchards which are
being set out. At the present rate OF
planting it will not be many years be-
fore very large section of the state
will be pretty we'll covered with peach
trees
The danger to be guarded against is
the producing Of too many peaches OF one
kinda kind that ripens in all parts Of
the state at about the same time. Glutted
markets mean low prices. and low prices
mean light profits, or no profits at all.
The crop should be distributed between
early and late peaches. BY that means
fair prices may be obtained through a
pretty long season

The suggestion of Col. Goodyear, that a
fire station for the benefit of Savannah,
Brunswick and Jacksonville, and to be
supported by them, be established at
Waycross, is novel, but it is doubtful if
consideration of it would show it to be
practical If there were such a station
it would not be called upon by either OF
the cities until it became apparent that
there was danger of the fire getting be-
yond the control of the local department.
After the call was sent it would be at
least two hours before the engine could
reach the scene of danger, and be put in
operation. Within that time the fire
would be far beyond the control of the
help that could be contributed by an ad-
ditional engine, or even by two additional
engines.
The fact that the buildings in the res
are generally of wood of the most in
fiamable kind must not be overlooked in
the consideration of this question. II
fire once gets beyond control among
buildings of this kind there is very little
chance of stopping it before it reaches a
point where there is nothing more to
burn. r.. --.a
1t is doubtful If the assistance sent bv
Savannah to Jacksonville had reached
that city two hours earlier it could have
lessened the extent of the calamity. The
wind carried the sparks for squares, and
buildings were set on fire blocks away
from where the fire was actually raging
New fires were being started all the
time If there had been no wind it is
probable that the local department would
have had no difficulty in keeping the fire
within a narrw limit. 1t might not have
got beyond the building in which it orig
mated
1t is doubtful If all the fire service of
this city could have stayed the fire at
Jacksonville after it got under full head
way. A single engine therefore or even
two engines sent from Waycross would
have been of comparatively little service.
A fire service to be effective in as an in
fiammable city as Jacksonville was must
be on hand promptly.

raoops FOR rHE PHILIPPINES.

Notwithstanding the fact that the insur-
rection in the Philippines is practically
ended a good many troops will he re-
quired TO maintain order there, at least
for year or two. Gen. Chaffee, who will
be the commander has been in
structed Immediately on his arrival at
Manila to inquire into the situetion and
report the number of troops that will be
required. Gen. Macarthur, at present in
command, thinks there ought to be at
least 5000 scattered through the islands.
The Secretary of War has expressed the
opinion that 10000 ought to be sufficient,
and Gen. Miles has sent to the War De-
partment an estimate in which he ex-
presses the opinion that 10000 will be all
that will be needed.
Assuming that Gen. Macarthur is a
man of good judgment it is difficult to
see why his estimate is not better than
that of the Secretary of War or either of
the other generals. He ought to under
stand the situation thoroughly, much
better than Gen. Chaffee will after he has
been told what ii is by Gen. Macarthur
and other officers.
II it is going to require $1,000 men to
maintain order in the islands very little
will be saved in expenses by the ending
of the instruction. There are only about
$1,000 men there now, and at no time has
the number been more than $780,
There ought to be no delay in enlist
ing natives. The opinion has been ex-
pressed by, army officers of experience in
Philippine warfare that native troops
would answer the purpose of maintain
ing order. Under white officers they
would render good service. Besides. the
sickness among them would be light.
White soldiers cannot stand the climate
in many parts of the islands, especially
in Manila. With nothing to do the prob
ability is they would become dissipated,
and dissipation in the Philippines leads
rapidly to disease and death. There is
some opposition to enlisting natives in
the army but that would soon disappear.
AS we are in the Philippines to stay, the
sooner conditions are brought about that
are likely to come eventually, the better
all interests will be served.

Poor Hetty Green!

There is a shoemaker who lived at one
time in Far Rockaway. who has stock
story to tell ofthe melancholy time when
he cheated himself, says the New York
Times. There lived in his neighborhood a
poor woman who had rented one of the
summer cottages which she was able to
hire at low sum for the winter because
no one else would take it. She lived in
only few rooms of the house, the kitch-
en- and little foom out of it, a dining
room, where she had small, smoky stove
which had gradually darkened the walls
to cloudy gray Everything about the
house was of the simplest, even of the
poorest, and the kind-hearted shoemaker
felt sorry for the poor woman who lived
in this uncomfortable fashion. She
brought him a shoe to mend one day. He
did the work in his best fashion, and
when she came for it refused the money.
at is nothing, madam" he said, cheer

thanked him and left
why didn't you charge her?" asked an
astonished witness of the scene.
She is such a poor woman 1 didn't like

ically.
"Poorr' cried the spectator. she is the
richest woman in this country. That was

Now Once Agnin.

From the Denver Post.
Now once again the jaybird sings
It's ragtime carols to the jays,
And rustic barnyard loudly rings
With speckled hens exultant lays.
Again we hear the merry bark
OF yonder spreading dogwood trees,
And meadow larks go on a lark
And whistle at the passing breeze,
And. hopping his perspiring brow
The hired man cheses up the plow.
Now once again we hear the hum
OF busy bees that feed us honey,
And fakirs to the country come
To part the granger from his money.
The placid meadow brooks again
Have got their babbling habit on,
And rustic poets sieze the pen
And roll their eyes like dying fawn,
And, famed by gentle muses. wing
Indite their lyrics to the Spring
Now once again adown the lane
Beneath the moonlight on the farm
John Henry and his Mary Jane
In loves young dream stroll arm In
arm;
They do not whisper words of love,
But speak them out in accents clear,
Because, meath yonder skies above.
There's no one but the cows to hear,
And oft explodes a hearty kiss
That sounds as popgun charged with
bliss.
Now once again the bullfrog sits
And bellows at the rising moon,
And through the air the black bat fits,
And tree toads get their pipes in tune,
And from their birthplace farmwives
swipe
The eggs the fruitful hens have laid,
Selecting those too overripe
To take to stores in town to trade
For anything they think is nice
And is a bargain at the price.
Now once again we soon will fly
Unto those rural scenes so gay
on our vacation. you and l,
To while slice of time away.
All through the day well sit and roast
And fight mosquitoes through the night,
And they return and proudly boast
OF rural pleasures out of sight.
Our faces tanned an Injun black.
Our cash blown into Reuben's sack.

How the OIL wen Mas Sailed.

AS is not at all surprising just at this
time, says the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat, the conversation turned upon the
recent oil discoveries in Texas, and as
there were several prospectors, promo
tiers and spectators in the party, there
were numerous stories of curious Incl
dents connected with mining develop
ments coming thick and fast Blooms al
ways bring together unique specimens of
humanity, and the fellow who makes
living by his wits is sure to be much in
evidence" remarked one of the party.
These fellows generally make a special
ty of Sailing claims. Sometimes they do
it for fun, and much more frequently for
the money that may be in It.. / had
case of Sailing come under my notice
only the other day which was rather
amusing, but should premise by saying
that the salter in this instance was
reputable citizen of New Orleans, who
had no thought of cheating anybody He
wanted little fun, and he had it. He
lives away down in the Third District,
and in his backyard is an old we'll with
a pump in 1t. With great pretentions of
secrecy he informed a dozen or more of
his neighbors that he had found oil in
his we'll and hoped to get a fancy price
for the property. They hurried to his
place to test the accuracy of his story
Out not DeIOFe ne was ready Tor them.
He took an old tomato can of large size
from a rubbish heap. and, filing 1t about
half way to the top with kerosene oil,
deposited it, right side up, just at the
base of the pile of refuse. When the
neighbors came in he walked to the pump
and then turned about to look for some
thing in which to catch the oil he was
about to pump from his valuable we'll
OF course it was but natural that his eye
should fall upon the big tomato can. and,
carrying it to the well with sublime con-
fidence, he made one stroke with the
pump handle and the can was filed.
Naturally enough the oil foated on top
of the water, and his neighbors stood in
open mouthed wonder as they passed the
can from hand to hand and critically ex-
amined the contents. He was obliged
speedily to undeceive them to prevent
general tearing up of much valuable real
estate in the Third District"
