it is three times its original width
1t is shallower. The stream is ponded
by the jetties built out into it, and
every rain causes it to overflow its
banks. Thousands of acres of the finest
bottom lands have in consequence been
thrown out of cultivation. In those
fields, few and far between, which are
still under the plough, culture has be-
come extra hazardous.
This wholesale destruction of values
is largely due to the government works
for the improvement of navigation. OF
course, the deforestation of the banks
of the upper river has contributed to
the result, but the dams formed by the
numerous jetties and other distractions
in the stream, are permanent witnesses
to the causes that have pended the wa
tiers.
This widespread ruin that has over
Whelmed the enormous agricultural and
other values along the fertile valley,
reaching from Augusta to the rice fields
of Savannah, is defended on the
grounds that it was necessary for the
improvement of the navigation of the
river. And to what has this improve
ment, carried On for years and at great
cost, amounted to? The two boats
performing under difficulties this SER
vice now, as compared with the fifteen
boats on the river before the improve
ments were undertaken or thought of,
testif1es to anything but improvement.
1t is argued that this Lilliputian fleet

for some shopkeepers. Suppose it does,
can such gains counterbalance the
heavy expenditures on the river work,
and the far greater losses that these
expenditures have occasioned. The
sums thrown away on this scheme
would have served to build up compe-
ting railroads to regulate the charges
Of transportation. If such competing
roads did not make lower freight, it
would be because the increased produc-
ton of the valley called for more trans
poftation. In this way short-sighted
mmercialism-penny wise and pound
foolish-overshadows great agricultural
interests, to its own ultimate loss.
Inland river navigation is becoming a
thing of the past. The rivers run north
and south, while commerce moves east
and west. The great palace steamers
of the Mississippi have gone, and even
the Father of Waters has been reduced
to drainage ditch" the agricultural
resources of it's valley far over shadow
ing and advantages it may render to
navigation. Let us treat our river on
this basis. Blow out the jetties, remove
the distractions, build breakwaters
across the flood plain, confine the
freshets to the channel,an make them,
with their mighty force, scour out,
deepen and narrow the stream, consti-
tuting it a drainage ditch for the
fields Of untold fertility that lie along
it. After such preliminary and neces-
sary steps, We can undertake, with
some prospect of success, the reforest-
ing of the brand of the upper river and
its tributaries,-Harry Hammond in the
Augusta Chronicle.

"IJrumken Women"

To the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
Referring TO Mr.. Clark's note in
Thursdays issue, Drunken Women
he says: Suppose the saloon that Gre
ated the condition was hunted out of
the State as energetically as diseased
cattle?" But it isn't, there is the fun
of it. Even in this very city that
prides itself on its moral tone and
civic virtues the saloon is cultivated
like an exotic. Why? Because, for
sooth, though we denounce vice and the
drink habit We cannot maintain our
city without taxing il.
Think of it a City denouncing vice
on one hand and receiving the cash
culled from the poor debauched
wretChes who patronize the saloon on
the other. This is the cry ever raised
against Tammany Hall of living on the
corruption of others. yet, methinks,
it can be safely laid at our own door,
step. In the name of common decency
and for the sake Of our young manhood
and womanhood, why can't the city
get taxes from some other source,
such as gas, water, public franchises
of the city streets, for the support of
its parks. schools, roads, lighting, etc.
Some English cities have done this
Why not we, and abolish or at least
suppress with a strong hand those
gilded entrances to destruction.

they fall to- with will. Many Of the
insects which cause the gals on oaks,
willows and other trees and plants, pass
the winter as larvae in the gals where
they were Matched, and may readily be
found at this season by cutting open
such gals with penknife.
Most grasshopperS. katydids, many
moths, and a great number of other
insects pass the winter in the egg
stage. Some of the grasshoppers lay
their eggs in the ground and others in
the cracks in fence posts. dead logs and
in other convenient assures. The gypsy
moth, which is so destructive to foliage
in Massachusetts, deposits its eggs in
masses upon the trunks and branches
of trees. Each mass contains several
hundred eggs, and some trees have
seen lately are so thickly covered that
they appear to have been thoroughly
spattered with yellowish mud. Under
favorable conditions these gypsy moths
will completely defoliate large tree in
three or four days.

PRET1p coon POINT.

That was pretty good point made
by the district judge in a charge to the
grand jury of Natchitoches parish, Lou
isiana. After referring to the lynching
of a negro at Robeline, to two shot to
death at Campti and to two others bad
ly beaten at Clarence he said: 1.-THE
white people of this State now exercise
all of the powers Of government. Our
laws are made by white men and ad-
ministered by white men. To say that
the courts and the laws are inadequate
to the punishment of the negro when he
deserves punishment, and to his pro-
lection when he is entitled to protec-
ton, is to confess that our race is in
capable of administering the govern
ment. We cannot turn these helpless
people over to the tender mercies of ir-
responsible mobs without mourning the
contempt of all enlightened people and
the wrath of righteous Cod
1t is entirely true that if 1.-THE white
mans government" that prevails in the
South can't do better than it does in
regard to the negroes it doesn't do the
white race much credit. That race
ought to govern by law instead of law
lessness if it is what it claims to be.

The past season, says a Philadelphia
dealer in grain, brought an unusual
demand for rabbits feet. The manu-
facturers Of novelties took all we could
give them. For several years they
have been made into charms, showing
that the old superstition, instead of
dying out, is becoming more popular
than ever. A saloonkeeper downtown
invested in 500 to give to his patrons
on New Years day. He had them
mounted Oh cards, with a suitable in
scription setting forth the merits as
harbinger of good luck Of the left hind
foot of rabbit killed at midnight in
churchyard, and so on. OF course, they
weren't all left hind feet-half of them
weren't hind feet at all-but the senti-
ment was there, just the same"

What we want, says woman who is
besieging the Kansas legislature for
the right Of the ballot, sis not the wor-

fragile pieces of china, good only to
be put on the mantelpiece to look at.
What we want is full fellowship and
equality with man, and we will be sat-

INGENIOUS. BUT FHTIEE 4.

Organization is the order of the day,
and an interesting application of it is
suggested by Mrs. Charles Harding, a
Chicago club-woman. Mrs. Harding's
idea is that every household should or
ganize itself into an association for mu-
tual benefit The parents, by virtue of
their seniority, would constitute SUI
pervising board, and the children would
be divided into separate committees, to
be held responsible for the performance
of given duties. The house committee
would keep the home in good order and
present an official report against such
delinquencies as failures to hang up
hats and coats or neglect to fill the fur
mace The yard committee would be re-
sponsible for the condition of the out
lying premises and presumably would
cooperate with the kindling-wood
committee in seeing that the kitchen
stove was supplied. The bedroom COM
mittee would be obliged to see that a
quorum, properly washed and dressed,
showed up at breakfast, and the dining
room committee would see that there
were no infringements Of dinner-table
etiquette.
And so forth and so on. This scheme
looks well on paper, but where are the
children who are to be organized? Sis
ter Harding seems to have omitted a
rather important item in her calcula-
tions.

The public hardly appreciates the ex-
tent to which crude petroleum has dis
placed coal in steam production, espec-
tally in California and Texas. Califor-
MIA factories and railroads use nearly
the whole of Californias production of
16,OOO,O0O barrels. The Southern Paci-
fic is said to save 100000 month by
the use of oil. 1t builds storage tanks
all along it's lines, and it's two tanks at
Oakland and Melrose hold II, 430, 900 gall
Ions. Locomotive tenders carrying oil
and water exclusively run three hun
dred miles at high speed without stop.
Oil burning furnaces save about sixteen
dollars per one hundred miles. Coal
burning has been practically abolished

pany's roads.

Charles Rozan, who for the past fifty
years has acted as special teacher of
French to German diplomats appointed
to Paris, has lately received the order of
the Red Eagle Of Prussia and that of
St. Michael of Bavaria. The orders
were presented to the Frenchnan by
Prince Radolin, German ambassador,
and Baron Won der Thanh, the Bavari-
an minister. MI. Rozan first came in
touch with the German embassy in 1852,
when he was introduced to some Off
GERS, who, being satisfied with his
teaching, recommended him to the en-
bassy. He says that his German pupils
were always intellectual and he pre-
ferred them to his French scholars, who
did not always profit by his lessons.
