The immigra ton that has been COM
ing into Lower Georgia during the past
ten years and which aided so mate
rally in making fine showing for the
section in the recent census. is of the
most desirable character. 1t contains
none Of that undesirable element from
Southern Europe that comes into the
country at the port of New York ana
either finds a lodging-p place in or near
that city, or drifts West to work in
the mines or the furnaces, or at rail-
road building. The amount of benefit
that the south Of Europe immigrants
are to a section is problematical. A
very great many of them have no ap-
probation of our system of govern
ment. They do not become American
citizens. They are not assimilated by
the communities in which they live.
They work at low wages in competi-
ton with native labor, spend only so
much as is necessary to keep them in
health and strength, and eventually
return to the land OF their birth with
their savings. They constitute, too,
turbulent element, having little re-
spect for the law.
The newcomers into Lower Georgia
are of quite different character. They
are already American citizens when
they come to US, fully understanding
and appreciating our institutions and
being every ready to defend as well as
conform to them. Some of them may
be of foreign birth or extraction, bu.
II they are, they are of those races
which predominate in the United
States; and they quickly become as
good Americans as any who boast the
citizenship. This country becomes
their country and. they propose to stay
in and stand by it, not merely reside
here few years and then go back to
Europe.
The great majority of the immigra-
ton into Lower Georgia is from the
northern part of our own state, from
Tennessee, Kentucky and the Middle
West. The last mentioned section has
of late years received so much immi-
grafton from foreign countries that the
old settlers" are beginning to feel a
little cramped for "elbow ROOM" and
the most inviting section for them is
the South. They are therefore push
ing over into Kentucky, Tennessee,
the Carolinas and Georgia, and the
stream has reached the pine land sec
ton of this state. The movement will
continue until it reaches the Atlantic,
and the older counties will be thereby
restored to their former political i'm
portance and relative richness and
prosperity. Until recently the more
rapid development has been in the in
terror of the state; now the movement
is towards tidewater and the fertile
loWlands

Excused From the Jury.

A young man whose features and
flashing eyes betokened great earnest
ness was summoned before Judge Nc
,Carthy of the city court the other
day for jury duty. says the New York
Times. He Immediately asked to be
excused. When the Judge asked him
what excuse he had for not serving, he
replied
II believe 1t is q rule of the court
that the jury is the sole judge of the
facts and the court of the law: that
the juror should only weigh the facts
as presented by the evidence, not TAX
ing into consideration any of the rules
OF law governing the case; wherefore
all lawyers are exempt from jury
duty"
But are you lawyer?" asked Judge
Mccarthy.
NO, but I have been a close student
OF the law for many years"
Il am afraid that l cannot excuse
you If you are not a lawyer" said the
court, smiling.
But, continued the young man
with great earnestness, the color
mounting to his temples. Il am sure,
II your honor knew as much law as
L do. your conscience would not allow
you to serve on a jury"
After the bench and bar had recov-
cred from this native outburst the
Judge told the young man that if it
was matter which affected his con-
science so deeply he would excuse him,
and a very much abashed youth left
the court room.

uncouth, and his dress careless to a de-

not lessen his undeniable unattractive-

EXCITED CANADIANS.

That there is a good deal of discon-
tent in Canada respecting England's s
| Canadian policy was emphasized in
the House of Commons in Ottowa the
other day, Mr.. Bourassa attacked that
policy, and charged that England was
ever ready to sacrifice Canadian in
terests to please the United States.
Mr. Goulay of Nova Scotia. who is ap-
parently opposed to Mr.. Bourassa on
about everything else, agreed with
him in his criticisms of the govern
ment So vehement did the Nova SEQ
tian grow that he declared himself

Uncle Sam, being large, strong, rich,

The excited Mr.. Goulay in the course
of his speech worked around to the So
luton of the problem of Canada's
troubles-political union with the
United States. But he suggested an
impracticable, impossible, route to
the end in view. When it comes time
for little benevolent assimilation in
the northern part of the American
continent, we shall do the assimilat-
ing. There are lots of eminent states
men and deep thinkers who are quite
sure that it is the manifest destiny of
the Stars and Stripes to float over
everything on this continent from the
equator to the frozen polar seas. If the
Canadians are wise they will not think
of fighing the yankees" but will go
quietly about anticipating the time
when they may become yankees"
themselves. That is the remedy for
them when they reach the conclusion
that Great Brftain's policy towards
them is no longer bearable.
