city and almost every community in this
country reasons for abandoning their I'M
happy faith.
A very notable one has recently been
given by tie Massachusetts, legislature in
an appropriation OF $150,OO0 to enlarge the
sanitarium for consumptives at Rutland.
The treatment provided there has
proved remarkably helpful in a large num-
Der of cases. .
New York supplies another illustration
of noble effort like that carried on at
Rutland, Mass. And there are other
states that have already provided special
hospitals and sanitariums for consump-
tives or are preparing to do so.
The Young Mems Christian association
OF Denver has leased large farm and will
establish there a home for INDECENT con-
sumptives.
Charity OF this character is increasing
in a notable and very noble degree.
But this is only one of the many forms
of humane enterprise.
The number of hospitals. houses of ref
uge, reformatories and other institutions
for the benefit Of the afflicted and I'M
fortunate increases every year and every
month in this country.
II those who sheer at these efforts or
close their eyes to them would try to do
something good for their fellow-men they
would soon find their own faith increased
and would gain a blessed satisfaction
which selfish souls can never know.

GEORGIA FARMS AND FARMERS.

The census bulletins which are appear
ing at frequent intervals give the public
much very interesting information.
One of them Just issued relates to farms
and farmers in Georgia.
It shows that the number Of farms In
this state from 1880 to 1900 increased S.
065, or 621 per cent.
This Is a remarkable showing for twenty
years. Within this period the number or
farm owners increased Is per cent. the
remainder Of the increase being repre-
scented by tenant farmers
There were in June, 1900 in this state
more than $4,000 farms operated by their
owners against $4,000 In 1880.
But for more than twenty years there
has been a steady decline in the percent
age of farms conducted by their owners.
In 1880 the percentage Of owners who man
aged their lands was 55.1; in 1900 the per-
centage had dropped to D1 with cor
responding increase in the percentage Of
tenant farmers.
There has, however, been a large in
crease in the number and percentage OF
tenants who pay rent in cash. or sta
ted amount of labor or farm produce, ana
of course, a corresponding increase in the
percentage Of tenants on. shares, or
choppers" as they are called in the coun-
try districts.
There are now In this state about 10000
more negro cash tenants than white and
about 5000 more white share tenants than
negro tenants. A large majority Of the
farms in Georgia, however, are operated
by white farmers, the number being 14l,-
500 against 81, 1926 operated by negroes.
The average farm of the white man Ia
Georgia has ia acres and the average ne
gro's 70 acres.
White men operate 70 per cent Of the
farm acreage of Georgia while the ne
groes conduct about 81 per cent of it.
In northern and southern Georgia a ma
jority of the farms are operated by their
owners and the tenant system predom1-
mates in middle Georgia.
In 1900 60 per cent of all the farms in
the state and a little more than rs per
cent of the cotton farms were operated by
tenants.
White men worked 60 per cent and ne
groes 81 per cent. White men owned
wholly or partly 544 per cent Of the
farms on which they worked and the rest
were owned wholly, or in part, by negroes.
Nearly 46 per cent Of farms owned by
others were operated by tenants, the per-
centages of tenants working farms was
ss.3 for the whites. and 1871 for the ne
groes.
The bulletin contains other interesting
and significant information.
The decrease OF the number of farm
owners is accounted for by the increase
of the cities and towns at the expense
of the rural districts. This undesirable ten
dency, however, is much less pronounced
in Georgia than In many other states.

A Claim From Canadian Government
Chief Topic Under Discussion.

ATLANTIC CITY, July 1S.-A claim
from the Canadian government for 5000
against the League of American Wheel
men was the subject of considerable dis
cussion here today during the business
session Of the wheelmen's convention.
Some time ago. as a means OF facilitat-
ing touring wheel parties crossing the
border and avoiding the annoyance o.
cash security. the league became spon-
sor for the duty OF $50 on every wheel
that crossed into the Dominion and
would pay the tariff In every case where
a league member registered on enter
ing and failed to register when he left
the country. 1t is the intention OF the
league TO settle the claim. but some new
method Is to be devised whereby the
league will not be held liable for the
derelictlon OF careless members in this
regard. which is becoming expensive,
The members also debated earnestly
the best means to bring about revival
in wheeling, and also TO increase the
strength OF the league.
The fve-mile run planned for Long
port yesterday was abandoned owing TO
the rain, but the run to Somer's Point
was a feature of the program today.
Fifty members came down from Phil
adelphia yesterday on a road run, paced
by James McGrath. Yesterday afternoon

was cut out at the request of the Al hor-

PRINTERS WIN OUT
FROM INTERIOR TEAM
Put Up a Good Exhibition Of Baseball
at the National League
Park.

The game at National Park yesterday
between the Printers and the Interior
Department team was q good exhibition
of how baseball should be played. 1t
was witnessed by an enthusiastic gath
ering. After nip and tuck contest the
typographical men won.
Ashley, who cssayed to go into the
box for the Printers. started out good
and kept the work up until the latter
part OF the game. when he fell off a
;rife. and allowed his opponents to chalk
up few runs.
Although tho typos are credited with
q quintet of errors, they played snappy
ball. and did not allow their miscues
to net runs. Beall, the fast center
fielder OF the printers, put UP the best
game OF any of the typographical men.
He managed TO rake in fiTe difficult
drives.
Big Cy Cummings. the rurallst. was
sent in 10 occupy the pitchers por-
tion of the diamond for the Lamarites.
He did not twirl bad game during
the first few innings. but the printers
found him in the sixth.
McCabe took his place. while big Cy
went to third. Bateman. who played
center, put up good game, and took
care of everything that came his way.
He also made good al the hat.
The heavy hitting indulged In by the
printers was the chief feature Of the
