A bill to amend the new constitution
Of Virginia, which has been in force
about six months, has been introduced
in the Legislature Of that state. II
took a convention Of brainy men year
to construct the instrument. and yet
ii is already proposed to change it..
However. there is a great deal of diff
ference between proposing and amend
ing. ANY legislator can introduce a
bill for change, but it takes a ma
jority of the members to pass a bill
1t is hardly likely therefore, that there
will be any alteration made in the
Virginia constitution at an early day,
unless it should be in compliance with
a possibly adverse decision of the
United States Supreme Court on the
suffrage clause.

The impression has got abroad that
the Constitution and the Columbia are
to be merely trial horses for the new
Herreshof yacht Eagle. This is stated
on authority to be entirely erroneous.
Each yacht will be an active candidate
for the honor of defending the cup. and
should either Of the old boats defeat
the new one, the winner will be chosen
as the defender. Each craft will be put
into the pink of condition and man
ned by picked crew and skipper COM
petent to sail a cup race. The pre-
liminary races, therefore. will be al
most as interesting as the main one.

The Roosevelt worship that has de-
veloped in Washington and some other
sections since it has become apparent
that the President is to have the next
Republican nomination. is rapidly APP
preaching the point where II will cause
nausea. If the President makes a pun
and he has lately developed the habit
of perpetrating some atrocious ones
the Washington papers and corre-
spondents make story of it, So no.
torious has this become that some of
the funny columns" are making paro-
dies on presidential puns And then
the other day when the President sent
cable to an estimable old lad in Dem
mark, saying: ''Your son is breakfast
ing with US; we send you our loving
sympathy" the son forthwith declared
the message would rejuvenate his
mother and cause her to live ten years
longer. That ought. of course, to be
worth a consulate to the son.

seraper hotel, the largest In the city,

minal improvements in New York.
About four blocks are available for

that a theater may be constructed In

That would seem to be something like
unfair competition on the part OF the

enterprises. SIN. New York is so
enormous that there would be business

A COUNTRY OF RICHES.

Judge Joseph Tillman. the pioneer
in the later development Of sugar cane
culture and syrup making in this sec
ton, is doing yeoman service for
Southern Georgia; not only. in that
particular, but by attracting the atten-
ton of people of other states to what
can be done by farmers with small
capital The old idea. that a white
man could not do farm work In South
ern Georgia has always been known to
be erroneous by those who live in the
section, but many persons living else
where somehow got 1t into their heads
that the further south one went the
lower and poorer the lands became:
that the land sleped off, as it were,
into the swamps. The fact Is that
from Bryan, Bulloch and Tattnall to
the lowest southern tier of counties the
land is generally rolling, fertile and
healthy. These facts have for years
been demonstrated by the thrift and
health of the people. The idea that
only negroes can work on farms in
Southern Georgia Is based upon pure
fiction. The fact is that two-thirds of
the crops of the section are cultivated
by white people. and this accounts for
the prosperity and increasing wealth
of the section. The cultivation of SUI
gar cane is not a new thing in Georgia.
but until recent years 1t was only
side issue. II has now become,
through the efforts of Judge Tlllman
more than any other man. a money
crop in South Georgia. With diversi-
fed farming and stock raising, sugar
cane will aid in making the pine lands
of Georgia relatively as rich as the
gold mines of the far West.
