Chairman Grigas' Prediction.

From the Savannah News.
Chairman Griggs of the democratic
congressional campaign committee
nredicts that the next house of repre-
Sentatives will be democratic. Mr..
Gripgs is in possession of information
not eniOved by those at distance
from the centers of national polltlcal
activity and speaks with an assurance
that democrats will hope presages sue
cess. We can see no rhyme and less
reason in the attitude OF those demo-
cratic dpolopists who doubt the ad-
vantage of the party controlling the
next house on the theory that demo"
cratic control with a republican senate
and republican president can accom-
pIish at the best only negative results.
1t will be swell for the country II
democratic majority in the house OF
representatives shah be present TO al
ford an effective and sweeping mega
tiOn to the rust-building, monopoly
shielding and un-American policies OF
a republican senate. The man or the
marty that shrinks from the assump
ton of a responsibility that right and
instice dictate should be worn and that
opportunity permits never grows in the
confidence of the people. Democratic
victories in the congressional elections
will olive good promise of democratic
victory in the presidential campaign
of 1904. AS the Boston Globe aptly
uhrases it. "In the game OF politics 1t
never paws TO miss II trick.

sou1H GEORGIA'S SHARE.
The Constitution Thinks She is Wei
Provided With State officers

If there is anybody or anything IN
and about the state government OF
Georgia which is from the southern
part OF the State, the fact has not yet
been made apparent, complains the
Ouitman Free Press. Our Qultmah
contemporary should cheer up; 1t IS
hardly as bad as that. But, OF course
a great deal depends upon what one
calls "South Georgia. II, as some
seem to define it. ''South Georgia
means only those countries which bor'
der on the Florida line, the Free Press
i. probably correct. But if we run
line through the exact center OF the
state and call one half south Georgia
and the other half north Georgia, as
would seem TO be more nearly correct
and proper, we will find that the south
ern half of the state has the secretary
of state. commissioner Of agriculture.
school commissioner, one member OF
the prison commission. three supreme
court Judges and clerk of the senate.
There is nothing like being exact
while YOU are about it. But, still we
are for the south Georgia cAndi-
date" every time-and even wish
there were more of him.-Atlanta CoE-
stitutiOn.

ling that has been perpetrated for
some time was that charged TO Tim

stores operator, shipped some rosin
from Ward City to G. b. Rogers Com

aboard the freight train as a passen-
ger. While the conductor was at the
front Of the train, Phillips is charged
with taking the conductors envelope
and substituting bill of lading for
Shaws, showing that the rosin was
coming to the J. p. Williams Company

bill of lading show that the car was

A COMMON SENSE RECOMMENDATION

Governor Terrell will, it is under
stood, recommend to the present legis-
lature the establishment of an agrl'
cultural college in each congressional
district of the state.
This idea of the governors is brlm'
ming over with good sound common
sense and logic and should be needed.
The sturdy, worthy farmer boys OF
Georgia are in need of just such instl-
tutions. promoting as they would the
further advancement of agricultural
pursuits along every line, and enao'
ling those who either till the soil or
have the work under supervision to
more skilfully and more scientifically
reap the great products OF Mother
Firth.
Georgia's chief executive is un-
dOubtedly a practical man. This sug
eeston as TO the establishment OF ag
ricultural colleges proves it, and the
governor is eminently correct. GIVE
the farmer boys chance; let's nave
the colleges, one in each congressional
district.

TO INVESTIGATE TREE DISEASES.
Mr.. Orion of Washington in This Section
On an important Mission.

From the Albany Morning Star.
Mr. William A. orion, of Washing
ton city, assistant pathologist in the
bureau of plant industry, United
States department of Agriculture. was
here few days ago and spent the most
of his time on the plantation of Mr.. J.
M. Tiff examining the pecan trees in
the grove of Mr.. John D. Twiggs.
1t was thought until a short while
ago that the pecan tree was free from
the pests and troubles of fruit trees,
but the opinion has proven a mistaken
one. Trees in the large grove of Mr..
Twiggs began to wither and die and
limbs on others would die after the
leaves had turned black, the appear
ance of the affected limb being very
much like that OF blight in the pear
Tree.
Other groves in this section are sim
ilarly affected and Mr.. Orton comes to
investigate, study, and, if possible,
| find a remedy He finds that the Pc
can has more enemies than were
thought possible a few years ago. At
/ Ter al exam ludGtOn vi S6foFdI trees III
the grove OF Mr.. Twiggs, Mr.. Orton
| left for Camilla, where he will inves-
tigate conditions at another large
grove. He will also visit Mr.. q. NJ.
Bacon, at Dewitt, the largest pecan
grower, probably, in the south.
In addition to the work that is being
done by Mr.. Orton, the agricultural
department is also going to make an
effort to discover the cause, and find a
remedy for that peculiar blight which
| is attacking the LeConte pear trees in
the early spring and doing SO much
damage to the fruit while the blooms
are on. To this end Mr.. Waite, anOth-
er of the departments specialists, will
come to Albany soon and make exami-
nations and experiments on the $500
tree orchard of Mr.. Tiff. 1t is beliey-
ed that the parasite causing this
trouble will be discovered and wiped
out. Mr.. Waite will stay here long
enough to make a complete investiga-
! tiOn.

LEGISLATURES EARNING ENCOMIUMs'

The present session of the Georgia
legislature, slough yet young, has al
ready begun to win some very kind
and approbatory remarks. IL has DIS
nlaved wisdom and conservatism o.
several important occasions.
Unlike most of its predecessors, the
present body of lawmakers is gaming
a reputation for economy. heretofore
members Of visiting committees have
heen allowed $50 for expenses, and a.
the expenses were hardly ever more
than nominal the greatest part OF the
twenty was easy money" for the com
mittee members. Now this has been
changed. In future these committee
men must give an itemized account OF
their expenses on such trips, and they
will be allowed nothing more.
This example is worthy OF emula'!on
along other lines. When the legIsla'
ture saves the peoples money 1t is cor
respondingly popularizing Itself with
its constituency, and that's just what
