TERRELLs FARMS AND FARMERS.

The interview with Mr., A. j. Carver
of Dawson, reproduced from the Allan
ia Journal in this issue of The News,
is but confrmatory evidence of what
has been so often reiterated in these
columns. When Mr.. Carver talks OF
Terrell county farmers and Terrell
county farming he knows whereof be
speaks, for, on account of his promi-
nent financial position and continuous
dealing for several years with the ag-
riculturists, he necessarily is N au-
thority upon the subject.
1t is hard for man to realize how
fortunate he is until misfortune comes,
and the farmers of Terrell county who
have not seen farming as it is in some
other counties, where a precarious eX-
istence is eked out, do not realize how
fortunate they are-how well nature
has provided for them.
Terrell county farm lands have
doubled, trebled, and in some cases
nuadrupled, in price within the past
few years. This is so because of their
productiveness. The possessOr of
good Terrell county farm is independ-
ent, and for this reason there are very
few of them on the market.
But not entirely to the soil is due
the satisfactory conditions here pre-
vailing. Land, no matter how fertile,
is practically worthless unless properly
cultivated. Nature must of necessity
be assisted in her work. The farmers
of Terrell county have done this; how
we'll, the results indicate for them
selves. Farming here has been sue
cessful because of industry and scien-
tiic cultivation on the part of the
farmers.
And the end is not yet. The march |
of progress has not stopped or even
slackened. Keep your eye on Terrell
county and YOU will find that the work |
done in the past is but an earnest of
what the future is to witness.

A JOLT FOR THE COAL BARoNs.

On Thursday afternoon the president
of the United States affixed his official
signature to the bill removing the duty
on coal, and now foreign fuel is to
come to US with rush. A wholesale
coal firm of Boston has already an
nouuced that it has closed charters
with forty or fifty steamers to bring
about three hundred and fifty thous-
and tons to that port. OF course that
is only a drop in the bucket to what
will be hauled to the shores of this
country from foreign ports.
Competition is the life of trade, and
in this instance may prove the death
of monopoly. At any rate, it has given
a rude jolt to the sensitive nervous
systems of the purse-proud coal bar
ons, who have sat for so long in atfiu-
ence and dictated terms to the poor
aud needy. If congress had done moth
ing else this term but pass the bill
which suspended the duty on coal, and
the president had done nothing else
except TO sign it, they would neYerthe-
less have earned the thanks of the
country at large.

Sandbagginq the Public.

From the Savannah News.
Senator Stewart of Nevada, who is
chairman of Subcommittee that is
Investigating the coal situation, says
that somebody is sand bagging" the
public in the matter OF the price of
coal. But, gracious alive, hasn't the
patient public been sandbagged for
years in the matter of prices of all
sorts Of commodities; and doesn't the
public seem TO enjoy the experience?
IF not, the public would rise up and
turn out of power the rascals who
make it possible for the trusts TO WELD
their sandbags so successfully.

HOME SUPPLIES NECESSARY.

The Valdesta Times says "Ihe
amount of debt which will hang oyer
the average farmer next fall will de-
pend very largely upon the amount OF
cotton he will plant this spring. Ii he
increases his acreage in cotton he will
have to buy more guano to do it, and
other things will also have to be
bought"
The News begs to take issue with ltS
esteemed contemporary on this propo-
sition. There is no harm or risk IN
increasing the cotton acreage, proVlo-
ed other Sc lsible things are done 10
con iunction. The successful farmer Is
the one who believes in home supplies
and provides himself accordingly. he
should have plenty of "hog and homl-
nv" and then, when that is assured
