PEACHES FOR SOUTH GEORGIA.

Georgia is already famous for her
peaches. The counties of Houston,
Macon, Spalding, Worth and several
creasing quantities year after year
peaches that will compare with the
worlds best in every particular; and
the growers are finding the crop profit
able. But the states peach possfbili-
ties are by no means made the most
Of There are sections in which very
little If any attention is paid to the
fruit although it's cultivation in them
might be found as profitable as in the
counties named above. In years gone
by when country produce was brought
to market in wagons and carts, Savan-
nah received quantities of very fine
peaches from Bryan, Tattnall, Bulloch
and adjacent counties. She gets none
from these sources now. Why the
people have ceased to send peaches to
Savannah we do not know. 1t may be
that they have found home market
large enough to absorb the supply. We
strongly suspect, however, that the
biCSS nave QlSu Oul, anu that no new
ones have taken their places
Having once grown good peaches, we
are sure that Bryan, Bulloch Tattnall
and the other counties around us could
do it again, and make money by it.
Possibly the varieties of peaches grown
in the red hill country might not do
so well in the black land, but there are
a great many kinds Of peaches and
there can be no doubt that some of
them planted and cultivated in the pine
land would yield fruit equal to the best
produced further up the state.
The tree planting season is near at
hand, and it would be well for thrifty
farmers in the counties near Savannah
to give some attention to the starting
of peach orchards. A start might be
made on a small scale and gradually
worked up to something bigger. With
an experiment station for Lower Geor-
gia, doubtless great strides could be
made in discovering suitable fruit
trees for the section. besides other
money crops; but, lacking such sta
ton, the farmers should do some ex-
perimenting on their own hook.

An INTERESTING QUESTION

A statement. alleged to have been
made recently by Bishop Potter of New
/ York, at church club banquet, is the
subject of a good deal Of comment.
The statement in question was that
the prohbitory law has educated "a
race of frauds and hypocrites' and that
statistics show that the people of
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont
are larger consumers of certain prepa-
rations containing from II to 81 per
cent. of alcohol than the people any
where else in the country"
The interesting question is this: Is
it true that in prohibition states there
is larger consumption of certain
preparations containing big percen-
tages of alcohol in proportion to their
populations than in other states? If
Bishop Potter made the statement
credited to him he must have the sta
tistics. He ought to publish them,
since there appears to be a disposition
IN some quarters to question the truth
of his statement.
1t would not be surprising, however,
If there were. truth in it. You cannot
make people give up alcoholic bever-
ages simply by passing laws against
the sale Of them. If alcohol cannot
be obtained in one way it is pretty
certain to be obtained in another. OF
course prohibitionists will insist that
there can be no truth in the statement
attributed to Bishop Potter, and it is
but just to say that they are sincere,
but If statistics show that it is true
they ought not to hesitate to aeknowl-
edge it. What is wanted is the truth.
so that the best means for remedying
the evils of the liquor traffic can be
adopted
We have always believed that edu-
cational methods for stopping the
liquor traffic were preferable to the
prohibitive method. We think the
facts show II is. One Of the educa-
tional methods that appears to be ac-
complishing a great deal of good is
the teaching in the public schools of
the evil effects Of alcohol on the human
body. The local option method of

educational. 1t calls for the agitation
of the liquor traffic in all of it's phases,
and the more the people think about
the evils of the traffic the more likely
are they to become advocates of tenn
perance People who abandon alco-
hole beverages from conviction of
their evil effects remain temperate tn
their drinking habits. Those who are
restricted in the use of such beverages
by law have the appetite for them still,
and will get them in surreptitious
ways. 1t is q safe assertion that more
is to be accomplished for real temper
ance by means of local option and
other educational methods than by the
prohibitive method

Bliss Carman's Admirer.

Kenwood lady who belongs to
literary club and has written papers
about a number of things, while call
ing with her husband at the home of
one of the professors of the University
of Chicago a few evenings ago, ex-
pressed g desire to see the latter's
library, says the Chicago Record Her
aid.

said, that when l go into a house
where L know there are whole lot Of
them l just can't keep away from the
dear things. I can't see how people
can be satisfied to sit down and play
cards or just gossip about common, or
binary things when there is a library
to look through. My! Professor, what
a lot of fine books you havei like to
see books arranged that way, too, with
the different kinds of bindings all
mixed up together. 1t makes a library
look so much more easy, don't you
know, than where the books that are
just one size and bound alike are all
in long rows after each other. Ah!'
she exclaimed, picking up a neat little
volume from one of the tables, "Bliss
Carmen. I'm so glad you like her, pro-
fessor. for | do think, she's so sweet,
I've been reading several articles about
her in the newspapers lately, and I'm
just in love with her." f'~t
The professor coughed behind his
hand and tried to get the lady's atten-
ton centered upon a first edition of
Boswells johnson that he had found
in a London bookshop; but she couldn't
get over her enthusiasm for Bliss Car
man, and after hasty glance at the
old book, said:
Il do think she writes some of the
lovelest things 1 ever saw. She seems
to have such a tender"
Excuse me for interrupting you,"
the professor said, unable to stand 1t
any longer, but Bliss Carman is a
man..
"A man? Why, no, professor; you
must be mistaken. l know she writes
under a nom de plume, but you know
she is really the Queen of Bulgaria, or
Armenia, or something over there.
Didn't you ever hear that before?"
The professor sighed and turned
away, possible aShame of his ignorance.

In conversation the other day about
the peculiar views that commercial
men sometimes entertain about profess
sional services, says the Philadelphia
Times, DR.. S. Weir Mitchell told the
following story:
"A very wealthy man from the West
came to consult me about an attack of
vertigo. He said that he had just re-
turned from a trip to Europe, where
he had consulted eminent specialists,
but that they had failed to afford him
any permanent relief. A physician in
London he said, asked me why l did
not make an attempt to be cured near
er home. l Thought, on my way out
West, | would stop over to see you
Has any physician you have Wis
tied looked into your ears?' l asked.
NO was his reply.
81 made an eXamina ton of his ears,
removed some wax and subtance
that appeared to be hardened remnants
of cotton wool. / sent him away then,
and told him to come again in a day
or two. He did so.
"'Wen,' he exclaimed, I am cured.
How much do 1 owe your"
About $780, l replied.
"As he drew check he asked: Did
you know when you first examined my
ears that you could cure me?'
when told him tnat l had a very
fair conviction that 1 could he said:
Well. you are a blanlSed fool. You
should have said to me- IT think /

got your money without "a murmur'

about it there are several little char
tiles in which l am interested, and

There's nothing in a name when the

to the House bin appears TO have been
to pay off all the old scores and get
rid of them"
The Louisville Courier journal (Dem)
says: "The example of the United
States in imposing high import duties
has been followed by various European
countries, with the result that the ele-
ment not affected by our high duties

Mr.. Charles Walsh, father of Miss
Blanche, was Tammany power in a
moderate way, says the Philadelphia
North American. He abode on the
East Side, and when he died his flu
neral was twelve blocks long, and
foced two street car lines, to wit, the
Fourth and Third avenue, to suspend
traffic for an hour. All Paradise Park
and its environs turned out to honor
the dead, for he was the "padrone"
OF all Italians, who have been quail
fled as machine made New York voters
In the last twenty years. He was re-
garded as second only to King Hum
bert, and was much more beloved by
his subjects.
One day news came to the New
York City Hall that the Italians in
Walsh's district were out for a parade,
and that the line of march included
City Hall Square.
The city fathers made a quick re-
covery, and had temporary review
ing stand erected from lumber and
other materials which had been used
at some sort of a public demonstra-
ton the previous week. On came the
Sicilians, 5000 strong, with Walsh in
the lead. A messenger had gone from
the City Hall to inquire of the lead
err when his band of marchers would
reach the seat of municipal govern
ment.
Them guys isn't goin' to give the
glad face TO tlfese-dagos of mine?"
asked Walsh in surprise.
That is the intention" replied the
messenger.
With his carriage horses on the run,
the Padrone of Paradise Park pres
emily pulled up in front of the review
ing stand, and gave sharp call for
Tim" Sullivan. He was in the front
row, for Little Italy is also in his juris-
diction.
DO youse fellers know what you're
up ag'inst?" asked Walsh.
I'VE are out to, see those Italians
march," replied Sullivan.
DO youse know what they're cele-
bratin'?" Walsh inquired, earnestly
NO" said Sullivan. What is it?"
1T is their day to burn fire for
chasin' the Pope out of Rome replied
Walsh. II got an Indulgence meself
to go out wit 'em."
In five minutes the reviewing stand
was deserted, and the Italians marched
by the City Hall to the sound only of
their own music, broken by the ''vivas"
and other outbursts wherewith the
Latin races signify enthusiasm and
patriotic fervor

A WAR or WORDS.

Senator Morgan is making brave
fight for the Nicaragua canal. Senator
Hanna seems to be doing all he can
to defeat all canal legislation. At a
meeting of the Senate Committee on
Interoceanic Canals on Tuesday Sena-
tor Morgan said to Senator Hanna,
you are an obstructionist. Your ad-
vocacy of the Darien canal is for pure
ly obstructive purposes" Senator
Hanna. rising to his feet said, that
is not true" 1T is true" said Nor
gan, "and / shall say so on the floor
of the Senate" "If you do" said Han
ma, II shall say the statement is not
true"
But what is the truth? The public
will be apt to think that Senator Nor
gan is right. 1t begins to look as If
Senator Hanna were acting with those
who are trying to defeat any bill hav-
ing for its object the construction of
an isthmian canal Unless there was
pretty strong evidence that Senator
Hanna was trying to obstruct canal
legislation Senator Morgan would not
have addressed him as he did. Besides.
il Senator Hanna were really trying
to promote the building of an isthmian
canal the fact would be so apparent
that there would be no reason for
doubling his sincerity. If Senator
Morgan attacks Senator Hanna on the
floor of the Senate as he threatened
TO do the truth respecting Senator
Hanna's position will no doubt be
brought out.
