About 100000 Set Out in Geor-
gia Since Last October.

Two million fruit trees have been
planted in Georgia since last October,
says State Entomologist Scott, who has
made tour recently of all the fruit
growing sections and has made careful
inquiry as to the number of trees plant
ed. The largest number of trees set
out were in north Georgia, Judge Geo.
Gober of Marietta planting over 100,-
900 himself
In south Georgia the growers have
not been behind and there have been
many new orchards planted. Mr.. Scott
says the fruit growing industry is on
the increase and he believes that
1000, 900 more trees will be planted
next winter. The demand on the nur-
series was very heavy all during the
fall, and in some instances the nurse
ries sold out their entire stock.

Rev Bascom Anthony, pastor OF
Trinity church in Savannah, preached
very remarkable sermon Sunday
from the text, ''Quit you like men.
No such illumination against the pres
ent public school system has been
heard for many day. In the course
of his remarks he said
"To be man is not to have length
of days, for in that several animals eX-
coed the human race; it is not to have
beard, for often the goat is endowed
with one more luXuriant than is man:
it is not to have merely knowledge, for
an encyclopedia contains more knOwl-
edge than any one man possibly could
have. No, the essential ard the high
est thing in the composition of man is
personality. BY this [ mean what a
man really is, not what he does, not
the results of his acts, but individuals
ty, the com bination of his reason, his
will and his conscience.
SIT is pitiable to be nothing, to slip
through life and at last slip into the
grave without having ever stood for
something, without ever having had
an excuse for numbering Gods earth.
How much more glorious it is to be
something, to take stand for the
right, fight for it, and go to your grave
with the knowledge that you have
fought the good fight.

ARE RAISING CATTLE, NOT MEN, %
Savannah Minister breaches Remarkable Says Georga
Schools Are Turning Out Men Who Are Miss Nancys.

what we want is manly men To
Georgia we are not trying to raise men.
nohow. We're just raising cattle. We
know bow to look after stock, and we
raise pointer dogs with pedigrees, but
we're not trying to raise manly men.
This in large part is the fault of the
school system. [ won't try to straight
en- it out, because it's none of my bust
ness, but you can't make manly men
with women teachers.
"If I had my way about it I'd have
PRIMARY schools and kindergarten
schools all over the place, and women
might teach in them, but Ia never let
my boy over 10 years old be taught bv
a woman, for after that age, if this sys-
tenn be continued the prodrct of the
schools is likely to be long haired men
and short haired women, from both of
which may the Lord deliver us. The
system will make Miss Nancys, who
may be able to trim hats and make en-
broidery, but it won't make men.
Mr.. Anthony in thus assailing the
school system of Georgia assails that
of every other state in the union. 1t
is fact that women are generally en-
ployed as teachers from New York to
San Francisco. Georgia is not singu-
lar in this respect, and if Georgia is
raising cattle" instead of men so are
all of the American states.

the society folks avoid the cares of a

referred to there was found an average
of one child to three houses. Then an
investigation was made over in the
teeming East Side. In one hat-house
there, in Clinton street, they found
sixty three children. or more than
four times as many as were found in
the whole mile on Fifth avenue.
