OR DISAPPEARING PINES.

For some time Prof. Herty of the
University of Georgia has been giving
attention to the problem of pine for
est reproduction. The inroads made by
turpentine producers and lumbermen
upon our forests have been so great
that, without reproduction, it is only
matter of time-and not a long time,
either,-when the pine forests must
disappear. The remedy, Prof. Herty
says, is in a systematic replanting of
areas that have been denuded of tim
Der by boxing" the trees for turpen-
tine or telling them for lumber.
That, however is a very slow pro-
cess for forest building for us. Had it
been followed from the first, as in
France, young forest would have
been coming on all the time. But we
have neglected to look to the future in
the turpentine business, and have gone
feverishly ahead destroying trees with
out providing for others to take their
places. And we haven't the time to
wait for new trees to grow. 1t requires
thirty to forty years for a pine to
reach it's maturity. AS Assistant Com
missioner of Agriculture Wright said
the other day: Business men, land
owners or any other class cannot wait
that length of time for the develop
ment of their lands
However, the disappearance of the
pines will not prove an overwhelming
catastrophe Indeed, it may result in
the development of a richer more pros
porous country, for, as Mr. Wright
says, 1.-The lands of South Georgia are
too valuable for cane, cotton, peas,
potatoes, cassava and other products
to be allowed to lie idle" We have
frequently during the past five years
touched upon this matter, and reached
precisely the conclusion Mr.. Wright
has; that when the timber has been
cleared off the lands will quickly be-
come farms, peopled with industrious
and thrifty tillers of the soil.
We learn further from Mr.. Wright
that 1.-The farmers of North Georgia
are now looking to the southern por-
ton of the state for farm lands 1t
is an inevitable movement" The in
formation is gratifying, Some of the
best farming lands in the state, and
that is TO say in the South, are to be
found in what were formerly the pine
woods of South Georgia. These lands
will produce just about anything in
vegetables, cereals and fruits that can
be grown in the latitude of the South
ern states. We shall have at the State
Fair here next month some typically
fine specimens of the products of South
Georgia ex-pine land farms, and we
extend a cordial invitation to North
Georgians and others to come and see
them.

lining a metal box, once the property
of an Egyptian queen in the seventh
century B. c., he found a plate sup
posed to be silver. Closer examina-
ton showed that the plate is made OF
an alloy of platinum and gold. The
box itself is otherwise interesting, its
sides being covered with inscriptions

came from the alluvial deposits in the

The call issued by the commanding
officers of regiments and detached bat
tallons and companies of the State
Troops, having headquarters in Savan-
nah. urging the cooperation of the Of
ficers of the service through the state
in a movement to secure from the
legislature a suitable appropriation for
military purposes should not go I'M
needed or unanswered.
The officers should respond with alac-
rity and the legislature itself should
see to it that this appeal from the
volunteer soldiery of the state is not
denied. An appropriation of $4,000 is
asked for-surely modest sum enough,
when the Importance of Georgia as a
state, its rapidly increasing population
and consequent increasing need for an
adequate force of trained state troops
are taken into consideration. When
IL is further considered that last year
no military appropriation was asked
for and that none was made the per-
feet justice of the request must be
everywhere conceded.
In the northern states millions of dol
lars have been expended, and wisely
expended, in the training and equip
ment of the national guard. In these
states yearly encampments are held
and the troops receive the benefit of
the instruction needed to increase
their efficiency and put them in shape
and trim for active service, when they
are called upon to render it.
1t is true that Georgia cannot af-
ford such appropriations as are made
yearly by New York. Pennsylvania,
Ohio and other states. but certainly
this state can afford to give $4,000 to
its citizen soldiery. 1t is little enough,
in all conscience. The need of wen
organized, we'll equipped and well
drilled force of state troops is beeom-
ing more and better recognized every
day. The lessons of experience taught
by riots at home and by the
recent wars of this and other
countries abroad emphasize the
value of the volunteer soldier to
the state and nation.
In making good soldiers Of the State
Troops, Georgia should bear her part.
1t cannot reasonably be expected that
our young men, who already give their
time and enthusiasm and a consider
able portion of their income to the
service of the state, should be asked
TO contribute everything necessary to
keep up the efficiency of the military
organization.
The officers of the military have
been modest in their request; it is to be
hoped that the legislature will not be
slow TO recognize its inherent justice
and to grant the appropriation asked.

and aural processes, which was the
purpose of the trip. When, therefore.
any member of the party arises in his

House and makes a statement touching
the Philippines it will be a reasonable
presumption that he knows what he
is talking about. having taken the
pains to travel 10000 miles to inform
himself.
But have the visiting congressman
impaired TO the natives of the islands
as much information concerning us as
they have gathered concerning them?
And has the information been equally
reliable on each side? Having only
brief cable dispatches for guidance,
the questions must remain without
definite answer until the gentlemen
themselves arrive at home and make
their reports. Meanwhile it is not in
apropos to remark that, according to
the cables, the Filipinos must have lis
tened to some speeches they found diff
flculty in harmonizing. At one time
Senator Bacon was quoted as saying
something to the effect that it was the
purpose of this government to give the
Filipinos liberty as it was understood
in the United States. At another time
Congressman John Wesley Gaines of
Tennessee was quoted as assuring the
islanders that lin the opinion of the
majority of Americans" the constitu-
ton followed the flag. And then there
were Republicans in the party who ad-
vanced just the opposite views. Con-

stances, if the Filipinos derived any

However. it is not well to jump to

doubt the seeming conflict of informa-

be explained and harmonized by the re-

"Tricks in All Trades"

Recently there have been added TO

OF unredeemed pledges, says the New
Orleans Times Democrat. There are
tricks in all trades, but this particular
trade is the sublimation of all tricks.
In the first place, there is something
alluring in the term ''unredeemed
pledges 1t seems a generic term for
bargains of all kinds. In comparison
the old boss sale" is absolutely color
less and unattractive. So hundreds of
persons go into the little shops to pur-
chase "unredeemed pledges"
All such stores employ men with
phenomenal lungs, who Cry their wares
in basso profundo. In one of them
there is a fellow with voice that
would be conspicuous in a den of roar
ing lions. He is always coherent, and
the volume of breathy sound that
comes from his mouth seems to be re-
verberated from every surface in the
establishment. Generally he is telling
the merits of a certain watch, or the
price he has just been offered for the
time keeper, and as a passing pedes-
erian reaches the doorway he raises
his voice little, which secures en- in
voluntary turn of the head. often Gu
riosity is aroused and the passerhy
goes in to investigate.
When one enters the shop the ''auc-
tioneer" is probably announcing he has
just been offered a ridiculously low
price for a fine pair of earrings.
Gentlemen, are you going to let this
elegant pair of earrings go at that
price," he asks, and there semes to be
genuine distress in his voice.
Perhaps the next article offered is a
watch
"Ah! What have we here? A watch?
Well, so it is, and beauty, too
And then he goes on to tell how the
owner of the watch was forced to part
with it. 1t is always a pathetic tale
Young man, health failing for a long
time; no money saved; mother dies

There are said to be some $500 South
ern Democrats domiciled in New York
city. where they have become voters.
In the current municipal campaign in
that city mighty attempt is
being made by the friends of
both candidates to secure the
votes of these Southern men.
The managers for Mr.. Low. the
Republican and fusion candidate, have
| published letter written by an alleged
southern Democrat" in which an eff
fort is made to show that Mr.. Low
and his ticket should be the legatees
to the votes of the Southerners.
The effort to mislead these voters
should meet with the fiat failure that
1t deserves. Notwithstanding the hue
and cry that is being so vehemendy
made by the Republican press of New
York against Tammany. and the claims
for concentrated goodness in the Low
ticket, the fusion movement of which
Mr.. Low is the nominal head IS Moth
ing more nor less than an effort to get
Mr. Platts Republican machine into
power in New York city, as it is in
power in the state. What that would
mean for New York may be judged by
a glance at Philadelphia, where Re
publican machine rules both city and
state; and the Republican machine pol
iticians of New York are not of diff
ferent fiber from those of Pennsyl-
AZ oil i0hharU and
rascality in politics, Pennsylvania and
Philadelphia present the most shock
ing examples. So bold are the hooters
there that they commit their robberies
openly and in broad daylight. making
no effort as to secrecy.
The issue in New York should con-
fuse no Democrat. The Republicans
are merely up TO their old trick of
using any device or any name to get
into power. Under the cloak of ire
form" they are endeavoring to make
use of a number of well-meaning citi-
zens as catspaws to pull their chest
nuts out of the fire. And once the ma
chine were in power, it would quickly
| be guilty of all of the rascality that
it has charged against Tammany.
AS between the New York candidates
personally Mr.. Shepard is the peer Of
Mr. Low in every respect, with the
added political advantage that he is
a Democrat and stands for local self
government and the other enduring te-
nets of the faith. Mr.. Shepard's back
ing, of course, is Tammany Hall; and
Notwithstanding all that has been
charged against that organization, it
| is more competent and honest than any
Republican machine would be, and it
more nearly represents the masses of
the people.
One consideration that should cause
Southern Democrats in New York to
regard Mr. Low with disfavor. from a
personal point of view, is that he voted
against the placing of the name of
Robert E. Lee in the Hall of Fame.
| Southern Democrats may differ on the
| questions of the tariff, the currency,
expansion, etc, but there is no differ
| ence between them when 1t is a mat
ter of loving and revering the name
and memory of that knightliest son of
the South, Lee; and he who does any
act of disparagement towards Lee af-
fronts every true Southron.

morning, which CHANGED to be that on
