SOUTH GEORGIA TURNED DOWN.

1t is regrettable that the Agricul-
ture Committee did not regard with
favor the bill to establish an expert
ment station in South Georgia The
progressive farmers of this section
have been counting on a station. They
feel the need of one. and there is no
doubt that if one were esta blished it
would be the source of Information
that would be productive of a great
deal of good
South Georgia is attracting far more
attention now than ever before. 1t
has an area greater than some of the
states, and the productiveness of its
soil is only beginning to be appreciated.
1t is not so very many years since it's
pine lands were not regarded with ia
vor. Now on these lands the bulk of
the long staple cotton is grown. But
their productions are not confined to
cotton. They will grow profitably SUI
gar cane, tobacco. a great variety of
fruits. wheat, corn and vegetables.
Nearly the whole Of South Georgia is
admirably adapted to the raising OF
cattle. Indeed, it is doubtful, all things
considered, If there is a more desir-
able section of country in the Union.
It's development is going on, and
that, too, quite rapidly but an expert
ment station would assist it greatly.
The cost of a station would not be a
great deal-not nearly as much as the
increase in the states revenue from
South Georgia as a consequence of the
station would soon be.

CARRYING nis own Money.

A story of oldtime banking days
forty years ago was told by a banker
in attendance at the Richmond (Va.)
convention last year as personal ex-
perience. 1t is repeated here by c. G..
Hay, representative OF The American
Bankers Magazine" who heard 1t re-
lated in the Southern city, says the
Milwaukee Free Press.
\ New Jersey merchant who was
going 10 San Francisco in the days i'm
mediately following the construction of
the Northern Pacific route to the coast
was DESTROYS OF taking with him ST.
600 as expenses. AS the times were
laWless in the West he was fearful OF
carrying that large amount of money
on his person, and went to his home
bank for draft.
Now, 1t happened that the bank,
which was small one, aid not have a
correspondent in san Francisco, while
to purchase draft from one OF the
big New York banks would eat up the
profits OF the transaction. There was
too great d risk and expense in at
tempting to ship the money to the San
francisco bank and a large possibility
of the merchant reaching the Golden
Gate City ahead of the money. The
banker was deslrous, however, of ac-

those days was considerably in excess

asked the merchant.

Then he made out a $1,000 draft on
a san Francisco bank, payable to the
merchant, ana handed it over.
The next day, before starting on his
trip, the merchant came into the bank
and was handed a sealed envelope
which he was requested to deliver to
the San Francisco banker.
If you Will kindly deliver this let

be much obliged. 1t is of but little
consequence, and ] would not ask the
favor, except that you can deliver it
at the time you call for your money
at the bank, and it will occasion you
but little trouble"
The merchant expressed pleasure at
being able to oblge THE banker, and

That was a fearful harvest of death
following an experiment in anti-toxin
treatment for diphtheria in st. Louis.
The treatment can hardly be called
other than experimental, because the
production and use of the serum has
not yet reached stage OF perfection.
1t lacks the sanction of many of the
most eminent practitioners. And that
they have good reason for Withholding
their Endorsement has been abundantly
shown in the case in question. There
was something wrong with the serum
administered, so that instead of being
an antidote for diphtheria it was actu-
ally producer of tetanus, or lockjaw
"a much more terrible disease than
the other. The use of the so-called diph-
liberia anti-toxin has received a set
back from which it may not soon re-
cover.

TnE rRonuCTIoN on suGAR.

Three years ago the production of
beet sugar in the United States
amounted to 10000 tons year; a year
ago it reached $1,000 tons, and this
year it is estimated the output will be
not less than 100000 tons. That is a
very healthy increase. The business is
now firmly established. 1t is confined
principally to the West and Northwest,
with some little production in New
York state.
The Federal Department of Agricul-
ture aided in the establishment of the
beet sugar industry, by means of its
Investigations and experiments. Hav-
ing done SO much for the West and
Northwest why should it not now Go
something for the South in the line of
increasing it's sugar production? Geor-
gia and Florida have become interested
in cane sugar. A sugar mill is to be
established near Jacksonville, and
there is talk of similar mills in South
Georgia. Why should not the Depart
ment of Agriculture interest itself IN
this matter and help to push the pro-
ject along? 1t could render valuable
aid. Secretary Wilson has just asked
for an additional appropriation of ST.
100000 for his department. 1t is to be
hoped that he can see his way clear to
using a part of that fund for the pur-
pose of teaching Georgia and Florida
how to produce sugar to the best ad-
vantage

We reproduce on another page liberal
extracts from d paper prepared by
| Charles Francis Adams and read by
him recently before the American An
tiouarian Society at Springfield. Mass.
| II reviews the history of Lees sur
render and compares the struggle of
/ the South for independence with that
of the Beers in South Africa. Mr..
| Adams pays a high tribute to Robert
Il. Lee, and says it is time the people
of the whole country, irrespective of
geographical division. recognized the
debt of gratitude that they owe to
him.
1t was apparent that the cause of
the South must fail. The army was
brave and willing, but it was worn out
with labor and hunger There were
many of the leaders. men high in the
councils of the Confederacy, who pro-
posed that the struggle should go on
ito the bitter end When organized
opposition was no longer possible, they
suggested a system of guerilla war;
fare should be instituted to harrass
the armies of the North. What that
means is now being seen in South AZ
RIGA. The Beers are hopelessly de-
feated, but they win not acknowledge
it. They persist in keeping up the
struggle, with the result that the coun-
try is being devastated and women
and children are suffering and dying.
There can be no rehabilitation upon
any basis as long as the bushwhack-
ing and concentration and retaliation
policy is kept up. There must be
peace before there can be recupera-
ton.
At the juncture in Confederate af-
fairs to which Mr.. Adams refers it
practically rested with Lee to say
what the course of the South should
be-whether peace or guerilla war.
Gen. Alexander had proposed the lat
ter to the great commander "No,
Gen. Alexander" said Lee, that will
not do. You must remember that we
are Christian people. We have fought
this fight as long and as well as we
knew how. We have been defeated.
For us as a Christian people there is
now but one course to pursue. We
must accept the situation; these men
must go home and plant a crop, and
we must proceed to build up our coun-
try on a new basis. We cannot have
recourse to the methods you suggest"
Thus determined. Lee gave up the
struggle at Appomatox and devoted
himself to building up the waste places.
In that determination and the rea-
sons given for it are seen the great
ness of Lee. As long as there was
hope, he was ready to fight notwith-
standing the heavy odds against him;
but when there was no reason for
fighting save that of vengeance he was
for peace. That his decision saved
much bloodshed and suffering there
can be no dout He loved his country
and his people too sincerely to have
hopeless burdens placed upon them
with his consent. 1t was the display
of such characteristics that made Lee
the idol of the South and an American
worthy to occupy a niche in the Hall
of Fame. And the North is coming
to see and recognize his greatness more
and more as the years slip by. The
paper of Mr.. Adams is a notable con-
tribution to the literature of the pc
riod, as well as an indication of the
clearer and better judgment of the
North respecting some of the South's
great men.

After they have paid their board and
bought such clothing as is absolutely
necessary they cannot have much of
their salaries left. If they have a few
dollars they don't feel like spending
them in attending teachers Institutes.
They have no objection to the insu-

We're not for the expense. If then the
various counties insist upon them why
not make it obligatory upon such
counties to pay the expenses of the
teachers attending them? Something
like this ought to be done or the Leg
islature ought to abolish them. Let
the members of the Legislature for
once put themselves, as it were, in the
teachers places, and legislate in this
matter from that point of view.

We have no doubt that much good
comes from county teachers institutes
but are they not greater burden on
the school teachers than the people
ought to ask them to bear? If the peo-
pie insist upon these Institutes why
not tax themselves to pay the expenses
Of the teachers who attend them? If
that policy were adopted there would
be no difficulty in getting bill abol-
ishing them through the Legislature.
The bill which Mr.. Bruce has intro
duced to abolish these Institutes is. it
seems to us. a good one, but the in
timation is thrown out that it will not
be passed. 1t seems that the Legisla-
ture has been asked a number of times
to pass a similar bill and has failed
to DO so.
The Institutes are popular. In many
of the counties the people make as
much Of them almost as they do OF

that they have "A good influence. But
