A STATE DEPARTMENT. ERROR

Justice Coke, of the United States cir
cult court, has been giving the state de-
partment little instruction relative to
it's own business.
The Judge is so clearly correct and the
need of the information he impaired was
so evident that he cannot be accused Of
impertinence.
The department in a recent tariff dis
pute ruled that Algeria is French col
ony. Justice Coke, to whom the case
was appealed, has courteously pointedout
to Secretary Hays young men that Al
geria, though located in Africa, is actual
ly part of France under the law and is
therefore entitled to all the reciprocal
privileges upon which the United States
and France have agreed.
This has been Its status since 1881 and
the state department has been little slow
in discovering the fact.
Algeria is divided into three depart
ments. which correspond generally with
the states of our Union They elect SEN
atoTs and deputies to the French assem-
bly,.
We have had so much trouble in trying
to decide just what the relations Of
the Philippines and Porto Rico are to the
United States that this slight mistake by
the state department is not as surprising
as 1t might at first appear to be. 1t APP
pears, as nearly as the average citizen Of
this country has been able to interpret the
decisions of our supreme court on the
question, some of which seem to walk on
each other that these insular possessions
of ours are both in the United States and
outside of them.
1t was natural in the confusion thus Gre
ated in the mind of the wayfaring man
that he should suppose that Algeria might
be mixed up also. as It were.
1t is somewhat surprising, however,
that the state department experts had not
brushed up better on the matter.

MAHoNs FEEBLE cHIRP.

one of the broadcast gauge arguments
that was submitted in the entire course
of the recent debate on the Philippine
government bill was that of Representa-
tive Mahon, of Pennsylvania. who con-
tended that the cruelties which have been
inflicted upon Filipinos who are resisting
subjuEation to the authorities of the Unit
ed States should not be condemned, be-
cause the prisoners suffered at Anderson
Vile.
If Mr.. Mahon had desired to give the
worst Illustration of prison life during the
civil war why did he turn to Anderson
vie? He might have made a much
stronger case by calling up the records
of Johnson's Island and other northern
prisons.
In these there was not only more actual
suffering among prisoners of war, but
there was less excuse for 1T.
The north had abundant supplies of
food, medicines, clothing and all the other
necessaries for the comfort and good care
Of Confederate prisoners at every stage of
our civil conflict, while the resources of
the Confederacy were so nearly exhausted
during its latter stages that it's own
troops suffered for the lack of all such
essentials Yet. in spite of these terri
BILE disadvantages, the records prove that
the death rate in the prisons of the Con-
federacy was less than that in northern
prisons.
Some consideration must also, in fair
ness, be given to the positive and persist
ent refusal of the north to exchange pris-
oners.
1t is true that it never had sufficient
number of Confederates in prison where
with to redeem all the federal prisoners
held by the south but it could have made
exchanges for large number.
One of the methods of exhausting the
Confederacy was to compel it to care for
all of it's prisoners.
The inevitable sufferings of these men
were due more to the policy of the north
which prevented the application of the
exchange policy than to any act of the
Confederate government and its agents.

EDUCATION THEY MosT NEEo.

The Virginia state board OF education
has adopted a policy in regard to negro
education which has much TO commend
1T and which. we think. is in the line of
real progress. It has abolished the class
zeal course at the State Normal Institute
for negro students at Petersburg and
substituted manual, mechanical and agri-'
cultural training.
In other words. the Virginia school au-
thorities have provided for the negroes
of that state a kind Of education that win
be OF practical benefit to them, In place OF
one for which they find Of little real ser
vice and 20 which they do not adapt
themselves. q.
A number of the most progressive and
influential negro leaders In, Virginia
urged this reform and were largely in
fuential In bringing It about.
This Is an indication that the negroes
who are most trusted by their race In
Virginia are on practical lines and are
moving in a direction that viii be bene-
fetal to the whole state, but especially
to their own people.
AS a negro who has attained consider
able prominence In Virginia said in adj
vocating this movement:

accomplishment is to spout Cicero without
understanding him. Classical learning
was once the only learning. but that day
is long past. There are now many prac-
teal sciences. and occupations better
worth the attention Of the average citi-
zen
One OF the best assurances that the
Southern Education Board, to which a
number Of generous northern men have
already given millions OF money and will
give more. will prove OF immense benefit
to this section, is the fixed policy Of the
board II give Its main encouragement to
both white and negro schools that are
conducted and 20 be conducted on emf
nently practical lines.
Virginia has made a departure in her
system Of state aid to negro education
that is based on the soundest considera-
lions.
We expect to see more of such educa-
tional reforms in the south and they Will
not be directed entirely toward negro edu-
| cation.

GEORGIA AT THE FRONT.

The fame Of Georgia peaches is extend
ing rapidly. When Georgia began to ship
peaches to the northern markets those
who were ignorant of the resources of our
state predicted that. no considerable de-
mand would ever be built up there for this
fruit. sa.f
But Georgia peaches quickly gained IA
vor and their popularity in the north has
been increasing ever since.
They are now indisputably at the top of
the market wherever they are found.
The New York Tribune devotes lead
ing editorial in recent issue to this de-
licious fruit and pays this deserved trib-
ute to it's unrivalled quality:
' Thin, pallid, almost microscopic peach
es are now for sale on the street stands.
In so hyperborean June and July this
luscious summer fruit is sour and small.
Meanwhile the Empire State of the South.
sunny Georgia, is likely to take long
lead with gigantic strides far in advance
of every other commonwealth in the union
in the production of peaches and water
melons for shipment to the north.
New York and New England formerly
made heavier demands for peaches upon
Delaware and Maryland than upon other
states. But Georgia has gone to the front,
and with her spacious territory largely
in excess of the area of Maryland and
Delaware put together, she is likely to
leave the two Chesapeake bay states hope
lessly distanced in the rivalry in raising
peaches and melons for shipment to the
chief centers of consumption and dis
tribution above Philadelphia.
1.-THE soil, climate and plantation meth
DDS of Georgia can hardly be surpassed in
any part of this republic for the raising
of luscious peaches and watermelons, and
the facilities for transportation to north
ern markets have been vastly improved
in recent years 1t may be that in future
generations some of the huge counties in
the enormous plains of Texas may be
found to be suitable for melon fields and
peach orchards that Georgia may be
thrust aside by the Lone Star State from
her pride of place as the principal source
of supply for the north; but for many a
season to come Georgia will defy competi-
ton among its rivals below Mason and
Dixons line in sending American fruits
to New York. Georgia peaches and Geor-
gia melons are always welcome"
The Georgia peach growers are exer-
cising a wise and profitable care in the
selection and packing of their product for
shipment. Georgia peaches usually reach
the market in the pink of condition. All
they need to make them distance all
would-be rivals is a fair chance to show
what they really are, and they are getting
that.
The crop this year is much larger than
II was at one time expected to be and
its quality is very fine.
Peach raising is already very import
ant industry in this state and is destined
to become much more so in the next few

Hon. Harvie Jordan. first vice president
of the Farmers National Congress, was
born In Jasper county, Georgia, in 1861.
His father and grandfather were both
planters and Mr. Jordan has spent his
life on the plantation upon which his
grandfather settled in 1920. His life has
been actively spent in practical agricul-
ture and he is a highly successful planter.
In 1898 he was elected to the lower branch
of the general assembly of Georgia, and
was at once made chairman of the gen.
eral committee on agriculture. the largest
and most important committee in the
house of representatives, In 1900 he was
elected without opposition and was again
for two years made chairman of the house
committee on agriculture. He will this
year be nominated for the state senate
without opposition in his senatorial dis
trict. In January of 1899 he was rendered
and accepted the position of agricultural
editor of The Atlanta Journal. for both
its daily and semi-weekly editions, the
largest paper in circulation in the south,
which position he has since held. In the
summer of 1900 Mr. Jordan called the cot
ton growers of his state together and or
ganized the Georgia Cotton Growers Pro-
tective association being made president
by the unanimous vote of the largest con-
vention of farmers ever held in the state.
He pushed the work into the other cotton
growing states. and soon had them all
organized under the general association,

BY ER. 7. WILLIAMS.

Laymen are slow to understand how a
lawyer may defend the guilty with every
reason to believe that he is.
In most cases the client states his cause
in the most favorable light and claims
that he can prove what he often fails to
do. The lawyer. as he does with refer
ence to many OF his fees, goes into the
case ION faith" and finds that he has pur-
sued shadow. He is naturally hopeful
man and his faith is a sublime tribute to
his honesty.
He could not decline to defend the client
without acting as judge and jury and pass
ing on guilt or innocence without having
heard the evidence on both sides.
When a lawyer takes a case where he
suspects or reasonably believes his client
guilty he does not necessarily claim that
ne is innocent, but he stands by as his
counsellor and sees If he is convicted ac-
cording to the rules Of evidence. If these
established rules were not enforced no in
nocent man would be safe, for he might
at any time be arraigned and be convicted
on suspicion. The very rights and liberties
of the freeman depend upon the enforce
ment of the established laws, rules Of evil
dence and procedure.
Laymen are prone to say that lawyers
are liars, but in most cases the lawyers
duty is to puncture the lies of witnesses or
argue their reasonableness to a Jury He
argues on probabilities and energies from
a trial as white as snow, when the case
itself Is reeking with fraud and the lies
Of dishonest witnesses as well as litigants.
Editors have often accused the lawyers
of taking liberties with truth and hence
the following:
"As the editor lay on the lawyers bed,
When no lawyer CHANGED to be nigh,
He thought to himself as he lay on that
bed
How easy lawyers .lie."
The lawyer responded:
eff the editor lay on a lawyers bed
When no lawyer CHANGED to be nigh
And thought to himself as he lay on that
bed,
How easy lawyers lie,
Then whatever else may of lawyers he
said.

A SIGN OF PROGRESS.

There is evident in all parts of the coun-
try a growing interest in shade trees,
more attention to their planting and pro-
lection. We observe that many cities in
the United States now have their munich
pal foresters. men who have a practical
knowledge of arborculture and exercise a
general authority over the local trees and
parks.
An Official Of this kind who understands
his business must be worth a great deal
to a city, far more than the salary that he
receives.

paying to the subject OF trees shows that
the public Is becoming more concerned
