FACTS WORTH NOTING.

DIR. ]. w. Smart. Commissioner of
Public Works Of Cape Colony has
written a letter to the Cape Town pa
pers relative to the management of the
Cape Colony railways in which he
states some facts which are calculated
to make the English wonder whether
they will be able to hold their trade
with their colonies much longer in
many kinds of manufactured articles.
DR.. Smart says that as commissioner
he is authorized TO give the English
manufacturers of locomotives and
railway supplies an advantage of ten
per cent, but that both manufacturers
of the United States and of the con-
tinent are able to undersell the
British even then. For instance, he
says that the American locomotives
give satisfaction in every respect and
can be obtained at much less cost
Not only that, but they can be obtain
ed within ten months after an order
is given, while British locomotives
cannot be had under twelve or eighteen
months. 1t appears also that Ameri-
can rails can be had at less cost than
the English, and so can those manu-
featured on the continent
There are reasons OF course why the
British are falling behind in manufac-
turing. One is that the British work.
man drinks too much, and in conse-
quence, he is lacking in intelligence
and energy. 1t is pointed out that
an American workman does a great
deal more work in a day than an
English workman, and the American
workman is all the while trying to find
ways in which he can increase the
output of his labor. On the other
hand the English workman is forever
! trying to see how little he can do and
yet not lose his job. And I'm this his
labor unions appear to sustain him.
The consequence is the English manu-
facturers are falling behind. Unless
there is a change for the better IL
will not be many years before Eng
land will feel the pinch OF hard times,
Her toilers will find themselves with
out the opportunity OF earning bread.
Her manufacturers will be without or
ders because they will not be able 70
compete with the United States.
And in this connection 1t is worthy
of notice that more and more the great
corporations are dscouraging the
drinking habit among their employees.
A man who is known to have the
drink habit is finding it harder every
year to get employment from the rail-
roads or the great iron and steel mills.
Indeed the drink habit is frowned
upon and drinking men-even those
who drink only moderately-are not
wanted.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL.

We are not sure that the bill intro
duced into the Senate on Tuesday to
promote immigration will meet with
much favor. Georgia wants immi-
grants from the North and West but
has never shown much desire for for
eigners. AS a result the number OF for
eign born citizens in the state is only
about one per cent. of the population.
Immigrants from the West and North
the movement of population from those
sections to the South, particularly TO
Georgia. viii be greater. It is to be
hoped that il will. Georgia offers splen-
did advantages to home seekers and
her resources are yet scarcely touched.
Still. immigrants from some of the
countries of Europe are very desirable.
German immigrants, for instance, have
been a powerful factor in the upbGild-
ing of the West. If they had come to
Georgia as freely as they have gone to
Wisconsin it is probable that the
wealth Of the state would now be many
millions more than IT is.
II we seek foreign lnullSfal 1OT
Georgia we want only those who will
cultivate the land We don't want the
kind that eongregate in cities or find
employment in mines or in building
railroads. We want our vacant lands
turned into farms-fruit, stock, grain
and cotton farms. If the sponsors for
the immigration bill can give any as
surance that immigrants of this kind
can be obtained in considerable num-
bers there ought to be no hesitation in
passing it.
No efforts ought to be spared to build
up the state. The railroads are doing
what they can to advertise the states
resources, and the state itself can we'll
afford the expense of an immigration
commissioner, provided he is a man
who is not simply a figure-head. 1t
would not be mistake probably to
make an effort to get share of the
immigrants coming from some of the
European countries.

THE FARMERS WANT TO KNOW.

There are some farmers near Con-
yers, Ga, who want to know what be-
comes of the money obtained from the
United States for the support of a col
lege of agriculture and mechanic arts.
They have addressed a. communication
to the Southern Cultivator, and that
periodical answers in an article which
it entities "A Live Wire"
According to the Southern Cultivator
Georgia now gets about $50,000 year
for the support Of a college of "Agri
culture and Mechanic Arts" and this
money is so distributed that several
institutions get share of it. The
most of it goes to the State University,
a portion of it to the college at Dab
lonega, another portion to the Expert
ment Station at Griffin. and still an
other portion to the Negro Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College near
Thunderbolt, in this county.
But according to the Southern Gull
tivator, there is no institution in the
state where the entire time of the
students is given UP to the study Of
agriculture and mechanic arts. There
was, at the start, such an institution
at Athens, but It dwindled away until
it had no students whatever. IT is
claimed that for reasons which are
given it could not exist in such close
proximity TO Franklin College.
1t may be that there are no students
at any of the institutions which get
the money intended for the support of
a college of Agriculture and Mechan-
ic Arts who give their entire time TO
studies pertaining to agriculture or
mechanic arts, but it is probable that
in all of them there are students who
give some of their time to matters
pertaining to the farm. We notice
that the University of Georgia has
just issued a supplement to fall bulle-
tin in which it gives notice of a
short winter course in agriculture. p"
This course is to include agriculture.
horticulture and dairying. and is to
begin Jan. s, and end March 29
1t is our understanding that there
are no students at the Griffin institu-
ton, but ii is a safe assertion that
some attention is given to agriculture
at Dahlonega. 1t is certain that there
is at the negro institution in this
county. we have heard it stated that
there are at least a dozen students
| taking the agricultural course there
and the number that is studying the
mechanic arts is very large-something
| less than a hundred perhaps. 1t is
probable, however, that the number
studying Greek and Latin, or at least
Latin, is greater than the number
studying agriculture and mechanic
arts combined.
The Southern Cultivator seems tc
think that college devoted wholly &c
agriculture and mechanic arts would
be successful in this state if it were
conducted in connection with the Ex-
pertinent Station. 1t points out that
similar colleges were failures in South
Carolina and Mississippi when con-
nected with the universities of those
states, but that, having been separat-
ed from them. have become very sue
cessful and prosperous.
Is II the purpose of those who are
bringing this matter forward at this
! time to try and have a purely agricul-
tural college established in connection
with the Experiment Station? II
would seem so.

THE THREE PLANS.

| Congressman Brantley, it seems,
I thinks that the Democrats ought to
make a strong effort this winter to
have the tariff revised. The way he
! looks st the situation is this; The Re
! publicans are divided on the question
of tariff revision, some of the Western
Republicans favoring it, but the lead
ers generally opposing 1t, for the rea-
son that it would introduce discussions
in their party. The faction of the Re
pubhcans which favors it would be will
ing, in all probability, to act with the
Democrats, and thus revision Of the
tariff might be secured. The Demo-
Gratis would of course get the credit for
il.
There is no doubt a great deal of
force in what Mr.. Brantley says. In the
West and South there is strong SEN
timent in favor of lowering the tariff,
particularly on articles which are pro-
duced by trusts. 1t IS one of the most
effective ways for preventing the
trusts from depressing the people. By
lowering the tariff on trust products
the revenues would not suffer any re-
duction. because these products are not
now imported. and would not be if The
tariff were considerably lower than it
is now, but the trusts would be pre-
vented from putting up prices on their
products. As it is at present, trusts
sell their products y foreign markets
for less than they get for them in the
home market They are able to do this
because the high tariff prevents for
eign manufacturers from competing
with them in our market.
The indications are that there will be
plans for legislation bearing upon the
revenues. The President, it is believed,
will recommend, in his message, reci-
procity treaties. Most of the RepCbli-
can leaders viii urge a reduction Of the
internal revenue war taxes, on the
ground that the governments revenues
are now considerably greater than its
expenditures, and many Democrats
and so;fIe Republicans will favor IL re-
vision OF the tariff.
There is no good reason, however,
why there shouldn't be both a revision
u tic lal III diiu a iCQuCllpll VI tic " oil
taxes. AS pointed out the tariff
could be so revised as to cut the claws
of the trusts without reducing the rev.
enues, while the revenues could be re-
duced by abolishing some of the wan
taxes. 1t would not be surprising.
however, if the Republicans should SO
manage as to spend all of the sur
plus revenue and leave the tariff and
the internal revenue taxes as they are
at present. They may consent 10 a
small reduction in the war taxes, but
there is no good reason for thinking
they will. They don't want to open any
question that is likely to bring about
trouble in the ranks of their party.

soiemnly declared. in an Ella borate opln-

the meat is enclosed in castings, but
that sausage is not sausage when it is

it becomes prepared meat. The sausage
that gave rise to the case in point
came from Germany in jars labeled
