Rock Island Club Hears From
New President on
Factories.
NATURAL ADVANTAGES HERE
Employment of a Professional Pro-
moter is Recon-
mended.

Impetus was given the movement
for the bringing of new factories to
the city at the membership meeting
of the Rock Island Club last evening,
F. \. Head, who has entered upon his
duties as president of the club with
characteristic vigor, in referring to
the attention the community was re-
ceiving from eastern capitalists and
manufacturers, stating it was up to
the business people as a whole to be
up and doing.
He pointed to the excellent results
that had thus far attended the efforts
of the club in the matter of attract
ing new Industries, and coInplimented
the gentlemen composing the commit
tee ON manufactures for their work
in behalf of their city. But he felt
the factory enterprise had assumed
such magnitude that it was unreal
sonable to expect these men to con-
tinue making the sacrifices TO their
private interests necessitated by re-
ceiving representatives of concerns
seeking new locations, and suggested
there should be appointed and paid
by the citizens a professional promot-
err, whose duty would be to take in
tow these visitors, and, also to flood
the east and other sections of the
country with literature setting forth
Rock Islands advantages and attrac-
tions as manufacturing center.
Merchants Cooperation
Mr.. Head did not think, however,
that the club should be expected toact
alone, and suggested that the Retail
Merchants association select com
mittee to act in conjunction with a
like committee from the club. The
new factory question will receive fur
ther attention at the next meeting of
the club. when an effort will be made
TO have the entire membership on
hand.

or FRUIT GROWERS.


Professor Scott, state entomologist,
reports great activity among the fruit
growers of Georgia. He says that the
owners of the large peach orchards of
the state are greatly increasing their
holdings and that quite number of
new men are going into the business.
He believes that fully 1900, 600 new
trees will be planted out this year
This he says does not mean that in
crease, as a good many of the new trees
are planted to take the place of old ones
that have become worn out in service,
and for this reason have lost their pro-
ducing qualities. Hale is planting
20, 900 new trees and Rumph is setting
out so, 900, some of these representing
an increase in the size of their orchards
and the others to take the place of old
and worn out trees.
Professor Scott says that the greater
portion of the new trees being planted
this year are in middle and north
Georgia. Jones, Crawford, Houston
and Twiggs in middle Georgia, while
Habersham county is coming to the
front as peach producing section.
Commissioner O. B. Stevens is putting
out an orchard of $50, 900 trees in Hab-
ersham county. This represents an en-
tirely new orchard, as Mr.. Stevens has
decided to go into the peach business
on large scale in Habersham county.
Professor Scott predicts a constant
increase in the size of the orchards in
Georgia and says that the men who
have been in the business for years are
going into it on larger scale every
year and new men are branching out
in this line.

THE OLD LOVE

Love calls but once, and he who hears
The music of that heavenly call
Sings but this song through all the years.
The old love is the best of all.
And though our heads be bowed and gray
And that dear love beyond recall,
We sing the good old song for aye
The old love is the best of all.
Aud so, sweet love, may you and
In heaven above this song recall
Still singing in eternity
The old love is the best of all.
Aye, though it be Christening rod,
We kiss the face beneath the pail,
And, mute with anguish, bless our Cod
The old love is the best of all.

DEFENDERS OF MONROEISM.

The. Monroe doctrine S roll of defend
ers grows larger and larger. Canada
joined the list short time ago, and
now Australia comes over to us. Of
course, Canadas reasons for favoring
the Monroe principle can easily be
guessed. In the event of war be-
tween England and coalition of the
big powers of Europe, in which Eng
lands defeat would be probable, Can
ada would be open to assault. That
colony is very valuable part of the
British empire, and an enemy of Eng
land would strike it just as soon as OPP
portunity offered. Under the Monroe
doctrine, however, the United States
would be obliged toresist the conquest
of that locality by any other European
power or powers.
Australia has discovered an impor-
tant reason why she should defend the
Monroe principle. The establishment
of the colonies of any great European
nation in Central or South America
would, so the Australians say, be a
menace to their independence and
safety. Consequently, they have as
strong an incentive as the Canadians
for being champions of the Monroe
idea. The influence of Canada and
Australia, it is said, has been exerted
IN London in the past week to induce
England to scrupulously refrain from
doing anything which would arouse
any distrust in the United States.
These colonies are especially anxious
that England should cut loose from the
German alliance at the earliest posi-
bic moment.
Monroeism's virtues appeal to the
enlightened public sentiment of the
world because it is a great bulwark of
peace. 1t has saved the American con-
tinent from the partitioning and spoil
iation which has gone on in Africa and
which threatens China. Obviously, in
the American case. the partitioning, If
it had been permitted, would have led
to ceaseless wars, for the inhabitants
of South America, notwithstanding
their follies and ignorance, are far re-
moved above the average of the inhab
tants of the African continent. Their
enslavement would be crime against
civilization, which would be sure to
provoke rebellions among the peoples
directly concerned, and would be
equally sure to involve the United
States. The Monroe barrier shuts out
all spoiliation, gives the peoples of the
continent the opportunity to work out
their own destiny in their own time
and in their own way, and preserves
the peace Of the hemisphere and of the
l,iaispds adjacent thereto. This prin-
yill always have stalwart defen-
kom the United States, England
glands colonies in this part of
rid, to say nothing of the coun-
{ Latin America themselves.
