ucation would at once impress the leaders
among them as being the surest and
quickest salvation OF their race. Some
will rise to higher callings, as some have
already done, but for the majority the
simpler pursuits are best and safest.
With the best thought and energies of
their leaders devoted to the problem
along these lines there is no reason why
the negro congress now in session here
may not be of much value to the negro
race, but to the country at large, nor
why even a few years may not witness
a marked Improvement in the negro's con-
dition.
Such certainly is the wish of their white
friends here in the south, as elsewhere,
though the former are in a position to see
the situation in a practical way and are
not given to deceiving the negro with false
and impracticable theories.
Most thinking negroes feel and admit
that their best friends are among the
white men with whom they were reared
and are daily associated, and it is their
advice and aid, and not that of misguided
theorists. which they should seek and
value most. And both are ever ready for
them whenever they are disposed to ac-
cept II.

GIVE US The REASON.

In spite of all the talk about the crowd
ed condition of the city, the superior
healthfulness of the country, the delights
OF rural life in contrast of the crowded
and unhealthy conditions of the poorer
portions of the city, the overcrowding
and precariousness of employment and
the thousand other city disadvantages,
not a solitary city mechanic or day labor
er, SO far as we know, has made any eff
fort to take advantage of the low price
OF good farms and move back into the
country.
City people of every degree, unquestion-
ably prefer the city, II appearances count
for what they are worth, and it is useless
to preach to them about the blessings of
country life. especially when servants are
scarce and difficult to control. They seem
to think the city is quite good enough for
them. At any rate. it is a rare instance
when they are tempted to go out in the
country by the offer of cheap farms. The
complaint comes from states like Massa-
chusetts that the movement of foreign la
Dor towards country farms has well nigh
ceased altogether. A quarter of a century
ago the Irish drifted toward farms, buy
ing up small places that. were offered for
sale. If a good chance came along the
Emerald islander took advantage of the
SALE
But the down casters complain that
these thrifty emigrants are not doing that
way any more,
Some French Canadians came over into
freedoms land and settled, but the move
ment was sporadic and ceased altogether.
The Swedes were similarly impressed, but
they quit after awhile. The enterprising
Yankees go out west into fresh country,
and the poor managers stay on the poor
farms because they can't sell and can't
go elsewhere. Now, there is a reason for
all these things. If one viii cast an eye
on farms offered for sale land near cities,
too) in Georgia, they will see what prices
these farms are, offered at, and compared
with city property, IT is like they were
starvation prices. There is a reason for all
this. Who is wise enough TO state the
remedy?

In this connection, we believe it OF In
terest to quote herewith from letter re-
ceived a few days ago by The Journal
from well known Georgian on ''The
Value Of Nut Trees The writer says:
There will never be time again that
sound nuts Of a commercial sort will not
bear good price in the market Hazel
nuts, pecan nuts English. walnuts and
we'll treated hickory nuts are always In
demand, especially at holiday times.
These nut bearing trees need but little
attention, and unless q cyclone blows
them down or a vandai cuts them down to
plant a couple Of hills Of corn or stalk
or two OF cotton, these nut trees are In
evidence for several generations.
"A gentleman VINO lives In Marietta.
Ca. planted a large number OF English
walnuts in a South Georgia county,
good many years ago, where they grow
luxuriantly and the climate suits them.
He hoped that these walnut trees would
yield handsome income 60 his family and
his grandchildren after he passed on to
his reward. And can see no reason why
they should not be exceedingly valuable
in lower Georgia.
Pecan trees grow we'll in Barlow coun-
ty. There is O. beautiful tree belonging to
a couple Of ladies who have lived on the
farm for a half century, that is now as
large as the giant oaks that have never
been cut down, since the country was
rescued from the Indians. 1t bears luxu-
riantly. That splendid pecan tree is like
q precious heirloom to them associated
with the memory Of their parents
What a mistake our farmers have
made in not planting nut trees wherever
they would growV"
