LOOKING TO GEORGIA.

The farming lands in Georgia are in
good demand by people in the North
and West who desire to settle here.
The world knows of their productive
ness and distant seekers after fertile
farms naturally look to Georgia for
what they want The general pros
perity of the state is largely due to her
agriculture, and the people recognize
this fact. The following letter written
by Mr.. W. E. Pickett, of Des Moines,
Iowa, and addressed to the State Land
Commissioner, Atlauta, has just been
received at the capitol and illustrates
what we have said:
''Kindly inform me what one must
pay per acre for good uplands, rich
sandy loan, with gravelly or sandy
subsoiI, in northern or central Geor-
gia, the lands without buildings,
either abandoned plantations or unim-
proved wild lands IN desirable com
munities for white men to live-not in
malarial or swampy sections, land de-
sired for alfalfa growing, hogs, stock
and poultry; not too far from good
markets, and whether the state owns
such lands for sale, if so, prices an6
terms, and which way one can buy tC
the better advantage 100 to 1000 acres
from the state or from private owners
A map would be appreciated showing
location of lands"
People are getting tired of the SHOWS
drouths, billiards and cyclones of the
West, and are looking for homes else
where, and many have their eyes turn
ed on Georgia, for, besides productive
lands, they can find here favorable
climate, good health and pure water
and fine public schools. Macon News

Financial Wind and Water.

Vice Chancellor Pitney Of New Jersey. in
commenting upon arguments before him
in the matter Of the proposal to place the
tobacco trust in the hands of a receiver
declared that 1t seemed to him as though
the common stock Of the concern were all
wind and the preferred stock three-fourths
water. This definition will be hailed with
delight by the epigram-loving public, which
greeted Mr.. Morgan's 'undigested securi-
ties" statement with comprehending joy.
A study of the stock market for some years
past has disclosed no more significant fact
than that the common stock of the big
corporations is a poor investment as re-
CARDS the matter of dividends. Indeed, the
uninitiated. looking over the stock state
ments, might reasonably wonder why such
securities are ever issued. They seldom earn
dividends. and especially in these days Of
"reorganizations" and great amalgamations
the common stock is set apart as merely
so much voting commodity and is not re-
garded as a liability upon the earning ca
pacity. On the other hand. the preferred
stock is. as Chancellor Pitney sasely re-
marks, three-fourths water In many cases.

No Use.

It's mighty disappointing when you've sat
and fished all day,
And had to grin and bear it while the fish
all got away.
You've done the very best you could with
hook and line and bait,
And nothing else remained except to trust
to luck and wait.
You may as well take comfort in the lazy
summer day
And feel the breeze and watch the shifting
shadows in the bay
And do your best to tell the truth when you
go home at night,
refuse to bite.
And when the years are passing-most as
swiftly as the days,
And you find the things you longed for have
all turned to other ways.
It's better to appreciate the laughter and
the song
Than take a solemn VOW that all the world
is going wrong
It's hard to be convinced that you have
struck a losing chance
No matter If the game be love- ambition or
finance.
But the days are full of sunshine and the
stars all shine at night
And there's no use kicking If the fish refuse
to bite.

The Balkan Situation

While 1t is always safe to be skeptical
about the likelihood of the Balkan war mr..
actually boiling over the present Indications
certainly point to a stronger probe bility of
such an event than for some years past
Inc mysterious move of Russia. the dis
patch of the Black sea squadron to Turkish
waters Is enc sign OF the approach of a
climax. The issue of note by Bulgaria
TO the powers. indicting the Turk of terrible
misrule in Macedonia has added to the
gravity of the situation 1t is inpossibIe
to estimate accurately the effect of sucb q
dehverance. 1t appears to have two objects
first to proclaim the fact that the bulgarian
government is not accountable for the ir
surrection now in progress and secondly to
justify that uprising In the eyes of the
world. 1t IS as though Bulgaria says to the
nations: Our Christian brethren in Mace
donia have been outraged beyond endur-
ance and are in revolt, and We heartily ap-
prove of their spirit, but we are not to
blame because they have displayed it"
The array of facts cited by the memoran-
DUN against the Turk is appalling. 1t shows
that even though the government of Sofia
has not been officially cognizant of the revo
lutionary enterprise 1t has been exceptional
ly alert to collect the statistics of the
III . Men. women and children
have been murdered with the most fimsy
pretense of justification and even without
the shadow OF excuse. Villages have been
looted and burned. the people driven forth
homeless. Women have been wantonIy yfo-
lated their protesting fathers or husbands
killed in cold blood Merchants have been
ruined by being compelled without legal
reason to remove from the cities in which
they have been established for many years
Prisoners have been made by hundreds and
held under impossible conditions of release
III one-quarter of this charge is justified by
the facts. 1t Is plain to the worid-if further
PROOF were needed-that the Turk is an
abomination in the sight of civilization.
The Bulgarian representations are issued
at perhaps an unfortunate time Russia.s

course Of events to indicate q safe
policy. contentinG hassslf thus fAx With
formal representations warning the porte
Of the dangerous possibilities Of the ex-
posture Of diplomatic and consular agents
in the disturbed districts to popular
anger. Germany il notoriously pro-Turkish
in sympathy. and while Austria and Italy
would perhaps prefer to be free to move
for the succor OF the Christians. they are
in some degree bound by the triple alliance
treaty % Germany. Even though that
agreement is for q defensive coalition only
as against Russian aggression. 1t limits the
scope of the activity OF each of the sigma
tory powers with reference to Turkey.
France will, of course, second any Russian
move when her support is needed.
1t appears from the dispatches that the
Russian demand with regard to the Turkish
atonement for the murder Of the consul at
Monastir include political reforms. only in
directly affected by the crime itself. 1t is
significant that the Russian agents demand
ed positive proof that the vail or governor
of Monastir had been actually banished in
good faith. 1t Is evident that there is little
faith in the official proclamations OF Turk
ish punishment. The situation, 1t now ap-
pears, rests upon the movements and ac-
lions of the Russian Black sea squadron. II
demonstration only Is attempted there
will be little likelihood Of immediate hos
tilties and a consequent readjustment In
the Balkans. If, however, the squadron
actually opens fire after the delivery of an
ultimatum, trouble may break out in all d.
rections. precipitating general conflict
Thus the Bulgarian appeal must be read
in terms of what Russia now proceeds to 90.

Appeal in Criminal Cases.

Mr.. Justice Brewer, in a newspaper ar
ticle, pronounces against appeals In crimi-
nal cases. His high position, his great
ability and his long experience on the
bench make the deliverance one of i'm
portance. 1t Is certain to lead to consid-
cradle discussion. as the laws delay is held
responsible by many people for the preva-
lence Of the mob spirit throughout the
country.
1t SO happens that at this writing there
are two cases occupying public attention
which bear examination on this point. The
first is that OF Jet and White convicted in
Kentucky court Of assassination and
sentenced to prison for life. The testimony
against them was most convincing and a
death sentence was expected. Both men
have foul regulations. An appeal was
promptly taken. Jett is a nephew of the
wealthiest man and most influential poll
tician in Breathitt county, and the uncle Is
footing the bills. The lawyers for the de-
Tense are among the ablest practicing in
that part Of the state. They know their
rights under the law, and, being well paid.
may be expected to invoke every form of
delay within their reach. Had Jett and
White been friendless they would probably
have gone straight to the gallows- Had
they been negroes they would not have
lived to see a court room.
The second case is that of Caleb Powers
of the same state, now on trial for the third
time. charged with being a party to the
killing Of William Goebel He has twice
been convicted and sentenced to prison for
life. but both convictions were set aside by
the court of appeals, the highest court In
the state. The case is saturated with poll
tics and perjury. Powers Is republican,
but democrats are preferred for the jury
box. The judge before whom he was twice
convicted asked for political office in part
on the strength of his rulings in the case
Public sentiment finally prevailed, and he
IS not sitting in the present trial But the
jury box is again filled with democrats.
The star witness against Powers Is a self
confessed perjurer and convict. The yarn
he Is spinning on the stand gives to the
narratives Of Munchausen the color of
tameness and probability by comparison
When Mr.. Powers was first tried the
state was in fever of excitement over the
Goebel episode and all that led up to 1t.
Had there been no appeal from that YER
dict he would now be a convict in stripes
with no hope of release except through a
pardon. The highest court in the state has
decided that both of his appeals were well
taken. and the present trial Is expected to
develop much in his favor.
The laws delay, 1t will thus be seen, does
not always operate against justice. 1t
sometimes promotes justice.
