The Chicago Tribune takes much
pleasure r. statistics. II likes 70 compile
data respecting crime, Iynchings, insani-
y, sbopemsnts. divorces and such things,
and draw lessons from them. And some
tines II can be entertaining In the pur-
suit Of this speciality. A few days ago
Il paid some attention % the number of
laws passed BY the legislatures Of the va
riouz states last year. Thirteen lezisla-
lures were IN session, for terms ranging
from 1876 days to g days. ard they pass
ed total Of 5.72 new laws. To this to
tai Georgia contributed 30 pieces Of new
legislation. It IS estimated. from the in
fornaatiSn already Ia hand. that there
VIII be enacted during the present year
no less than 1000 new laws. New York
ard Maryland have already passed
more than 100 acts each. while Ohio and
Illinois have added hundreds Of acts to
their statute books
Il there any good in all Of this law
making? Are so many new laws needed
for the government Of the people, 1t Is
perfectly safe to say that q per cent.
Of the legislation could be dispensed with.
to the very great advantage OF the pub
lie And II may be predicted with a good
deal Of assurance that not one-half prob
ably not one-fourth. Of the new laws Will
stand the test OF the courts. Many Of
them were hastily drawn and rail-
roaded" through the assemblies. without

But there Is one class OF persons who
are pleased with the nultitude Of new
IaWs-the lawyers. II means more bust
ness for them. II IL their function to dis
cover how, by letter or spirit. or both,
the new laws are opposed to the consti-
tuition, and take them into the courts
and have them killed. Every new law Of
any moment makes new litigation. which
means more fees for the lawyers. FIf-
teen thousand new laws IN two years,
therefore. presents quite pleasing pros
pect 20 the profession.
II should not be lost sight OF. however.
that the lawyers perform a good public

UTILIZING WIRE Grass.

We noted some time ago the erection

very artistic pieces u furniture. as well
ss mattings and coarse tEine- Later IL
Is proposed to twist some q the tWlEs
into ropes The belief il expressed that
the wire grass ropes will Dc found strong
and durable, ard Of less cost than hemp
or Jute-
This matter Of the utilization Of wire
grass ia of interest to South Georgia FOR
Tire reason that there are thousands OF
acres and hundreds Of thousands Of tons
% the material In this section awaiting
the coming Of enterprising developers It
IL safe to say that the supply Is ex-
haustless. since crop after crop would
follow the harvestings. without planting
or cultivation. Wire grass lands are 10
be had at very low figure. 50 that the
harvesting and transportation OF the
grass to a factory would BE- sbout all
Of the expense attached 70 the procure
ment Of the raw material No chemical
process whatever IL made use Of in pre-
pairing the wire grass for manufacture. II
is merely cut and cured by careful dry
ing. then. when IL has been assorted, the
long abers being separated from the short
ones. II IS ready for use.
Nearly all Georgians, and certainly all
South GeorEians, are familiar with the
wire grass tanners" and other baskets
made and used On the plantations. These
beskets last lifetime, and may be kept
a. clean and sweet as a dinner plate all
the time. The usual method Of vie
grass basket making Is to form rolls Of
the gra-s varying In size from an eighth
Of an inch to tnree-quarters Of an inch
in diameter. according TO the purpose Of
the basket. These rolls are bound with
thin aad pIiable white oak strips, and
from the rolls the basket f. constructed.
In the making Of furniture q somewhat
similar process Is followed. The material
readily lends itself to fancy designs. and
when the chair. OF whatever il may be.
mas been finished II presents richness
Of color that SURPRISES cane and bam-
boo. The wire grass furniture Is light,
clean. cool. strong and tough. These are
qualities sought by every louisville in the
selection Of furniture for summer use.
With such an immense supply OF wire
grass available, and 70 be had and har-
vested at practically nominal cost, Geor-
sia ought not permit Northern factories
70 monopollze the wire grass furniture
aud IRGine business.
